howard is here. >> grab a jacket. it's a lot cooler. it's in the 40s and damp. you're going to feel it for sure, kind of like a slap in the face but when you consider where we should be, it's not bad. average low is 37. average high is about 56. so we're still doing well, better than we should be. here's a look at the bus stop forecast. we've got clouds, some patchy fog, a couple of showers out there this morning. a little bit of everything. mostly in the 50s. a few spots in the upper hoss. our sunrise at 7:17. you see our day planner this morning with cloudy skies. 58 at 9:00. there could be a few showers here and there between now and noon. 69 by noon. winds turn to the southwest as the front which slipped through overnight slips back north. that will allow the warmer air to return. the temperatures this afternoon should make it into the middle 70s. if that front gets hung up to our south, we'll never make 75. we'll probably stay in the 60s but still a threat for showers and storms later.

this morning here are the showers near us. see all the showers from new york state, pennsylvania, back through even kentucky, ohio, and west virginia. all of this moving off toward the east. it's been this area of showers we've been watching now crossing interstate 81 from around winchester north here. it's really concentrated though, the heavier stuff, from martinsburg approaching kearneysville. it will be in harpers ferry shortly. charlestown just starting to see the rain drops. looks like the heavier showers will pass to the north. visibilities not as much of an issue as they were. still, though, we're talking about 2 or 3 miles. locally we're down to 1 to 2. heavier stuff is in delaware. with the winds out of the northeast and east, they brought the lower clouds and also the cooler temps. down in the upper 40s now in easton. upper 40s in gaithersburg at 48. low 50s here in town. but off to the south richmond, they're south of the front. they're 60 degrees. so if we can get this boundary north of us which i think we

will, that's why i'm anticipating 70s once again. outside on our michael & son weather camera, you see the low clouds over the capitol right now. cool looking. 52 degrees with a northeast wind at 9 and dew point in the upper 40s so it feels like it's in the upper 40s, if not mid- 40s out there. clusters of showers and storms spread out from southern missouri all the way back toward new york state now. this boundary is going to be coming through. that's why we have the let for showers and storms in the forecast at times today into this evening. we'll get better tonight when things clear out. 75 today. a shower or two this morning. better chance of showers and storms this afternoon and this evening. tonight we're down in the 50s again. tomorrow partly sunny, 74. i think generally in the 60s for the marathon in the morning and the half marathon if you're running in that. then sunday a cooler day. only in the mid-60s which is still about 9, 10 above average. next week we'll warm up back in the low to mid-70s.

three dimensional breast imaging. washington radiology associates is the first facility to offer the screening method. we're happy to say washington radiology associates is a proud sponsor of buddy check 9. thank you for being here with us. it's a very long word but a very important step forward in breast imaging. tell us what it is and how it differs if standard 2d imaging? >> it's very revolutionary in that it allows us to obtain a mammogram-based image of the breast but in three today mentions. that is really useful and helpful to us in order to better see the tissues within the breast and to determine whether there's really an area of concern in a breast versus an area where tissues may be just normal but overlapping one another making it seem like there's something abnormal in a mammogram. >> because you say it gives you a better image of what's going on inside the breast. we thought that's what standard

2d does but you say the difference is 3-d looking all around like a hologram that we see on tv versus something flat. >> that's right. it's a standard two dimensional mammogram. it's just that, two dimensional. a breast is a three dimensional structures. some of the normal structures can overlap on a two dimensional mammogram and make it seem like there's something abnormal in a breast. that's a common reason for a woman to be called back from her screening ma'am grab. we hope -- mammogram. we hope we can significantly reduce or eliminate these issues with overlapping normal breast tissues. this is especially important for women who have dense breasts, a come problem when tissues overlap in dense breasts. so we hope in particular it will help us reduce that issue and detect small but significant tumors in dense breasts that can be hidden by those overlying tissues. that's what the three dimensional imaging will help us most. >> we saw a little bit of the exam right here.

it looks the same as when i go for my regular screening mammogram but it's happening all at the same time? >> yes. from the patient's point of view, you have a mammogram just like you always have. it isn't compression. it lasts a little bit longer, about four seconds but it allows us to obtain the images, very fire row images over the breast and re-- narrow images over the breast. >> it gives you confidence and has to give the patient confidence. >> we've seen everything in more detail. it's less likely that patient will then have to be called back from the screening mammogram for additional imaging so it makes everybody feel better and more confident about the diagnosis. >> dr. greenburg, thank you very much for being here with us. we'll have more in the next bud
