we had one of the warmest marches on record. we had one of the very dry march as we. only about an inch and change in many areas. when you start spring warm and dry, the ground water isn't there. it's starting to dry out f. we don't get some more regular rainfall, that does not bode well for the growing season as we head forward through the spring and summer. it's down to 43 in gaithersburg. 44 laurel. crofton 47. off to the south we still have a couple of spots like fort belvoir and manassas holding on to 50 but already down to 46 in lovettsville and to the east 48 in baden and prince george's county. looking outside on our michael & son weather camera, just starting to get a little bit of brightening of the predawn sky here at 6:15 as we look at the capitol dome with 49 degrees. partly cloudy skies. a north wind at 20 gives us a windchill of 42. in some areas it feels like it's in the upper 30s so jacket weather for sure. the barometer continues to rise quickly with high pressure building in. you can see the chill come down toward the northeast, caribou

29. boston 39. also in the rockies but look, look at all the warmth in the middle of the country. still 70 in kansas city. nashville 66. for the next couple of days we're going to take a piece of that milder air and move it toward us. got some snow in the rockies still on april 2. the rain showers we were looking at, they're well south of us now and kind of down to southwestern virginia, north carolina, even those showers i don't think will be lasting all that much longer. maybe just another couple of hours. rain and snow across parts of eastern new england as well. the future cast, nice and quiet as everything moves quickly off to the south and east today although breezy behind the system. winds die down tonight. we'll dip into the 30s. mid-30s outside the beltway. that could mean a little bit of frost north and west to about 40 in town. a sunny day tomorrow with highs upper 60s to low 70s. maybe a shower by wednesday afternoon, especially south of d.c. 62 today. about 40 tonight. this is for reagan national. colder north and west.
