eating all of the leftovers. >> i'm sure there were a few, especially the desserts left over. we have some great conditions right now. we had chilly start to the morning. the temperatures were in the 30s. middle 30s in some locations. now, the sunshine is doing its thing of the day planner today will feature a warm-up already underway right now. most areas are now just peaking into the 50s. we'll continue to move on into the 60s by mid afternoon. say around 3:00, 4:00, most of us should top out with our daytime highs. by about the 5:00 hour, we start to head toward sunset, temperatures drop off once again. if are you going to be out and about later on this evening, make sure you take a jacket with you. you'll definitely want that after the sun goes down into the overnight hours though, we'll keep our temperatures cool again. back down into the 40s and 30s early tomorrow morning. so, here is what we're expecting as we head in toward the next several days. it will be a pretty good forecast all-around. weather headlines a feature

fabulous friday. if you have that extended weekend, get out and enjoy it. it will be sunshine all around. you want those sunglasses with you as you move around the city today. but the mild temperatures, i think they're going to last for us today, tomorrow, even sunday looks great. then i'm tracking a few changes on the way. we'll alter the forecast as we head into the start and the middle of the work week. much cooler behind that. originally though, we're looking at a pretty good weekend. get out and enjoy it if you that extended day. current temperatures already up to 61 degrees. we're making progress through cumberland, looking at 57 in the city. much warmer to the south. portions of southern virginia could see 70 degrees later on today. in our area closer to the beltway, we'll stick to the 60s. winds are predominantly out of the south and southwest because high pressure is dominating our weather pattern and we're definitely looking at some sunshine into the afternoon. here is where high pressure is sitting right now. it is just toward the southern

portions of norfolk, virginia. basically, off the north carolina coast and it is continuing to slide on off toward the east. it is wrapping around some of the southerly wind flow and that's definitely pulling on in some moisture for us. not in the form of cloud cover but it is definitely keeping our conditions nice and future cast agrees. into the evening hours, we're looking great if you're headed out for a friday night out on the town. we start out clear and cool tomorrow morning if you have an early game or walking the dog early in the morning, you will see some clouds start to move on in. not until sunday. sunday night, we do feature some rain opportunities, in fact, the forecast brings in a little bit of the moisture late in the day. best chance for rain though will come overnight sunday and most of the day on monday. so, here's what to expect overnight tonight. we'll take our temperatures down as we of i mentioned into the 40s and 30s. definitely going to be a very nice day tomorrow as well. not quite as warm but we should hit the 60 degree mark and push into the lower 60s by afternoon. the next three days, quite

consistent. sunshine all around. 62 degrees by sunday. seven-day forecast looks good. until we get to monday when the front gets much closer, it will stir up our rain chances and drop down our temperatures into the 50s. as we get in toward the later portions of the week behind that front, we're sticking into the 40s. 9news now continues in just a couple of minutes.
