road surfaces are warm. it would really have to snow to beat the band to overcome those mild temperatures and that high sun angle, some of that snow gets into the -- gets down through the clouds and heats the ground a little bit. here's a look at our michael & son camera. good visibility. the white house dark with a temperature of 33. notice how dry the air is. we have a 13-degree spread between the dew point and the temperature. any snow we get close even by us, i think a lot of the northern edge is going to be evaporated but you definitely see some of the darker blues. that's some moderate snow across southern parts of west virginia into southwestern virginia. if you're traveling down 81, you may run into some of that. on the future cast it actually shows some of that snow getting farther to the north. charlottesville, maybe fredricksburg into southern maryland, you might see a little bit of buildup on the grassy surfaces. by noon still a little bit of that light snow, snow showers extending even over toward

salisbury as we get into the midday hour. but in the afternoon there goes the system. it starts to pull away 3:00, 4:00, 5:00. by 5:45, nothing but a lingering sprinkle or snow shower or flurry left over. starts to break up behind the system. the winds will kick in as well. we'll get a little gusty this afternoon maybe gusting up to 20 as the colder air moves in tonight before we start a nice warm-up beginning tomorrow. so looking at the forecast, today temperatures only about 44. that may be a late afternoon high with the flurries, light snow especially south of town. tonight we're back in the 20s. tomorrow we'll get up to 51. winds turn toward the south. look at wednesday. we're talking some light snow or snow showers today. wednesday mid-60s. upper 60s on thursday. could be a couple of showers friday in the 50s. then the weekend looks nice. this is the weekend that we spring forward. the time change happens saturday night and sunday
