the winds have turned around to the south and that southerly wind will bring up much warmer air. we're jumping from the 40s of today to to 60s tomorrow. it is all of this air just down to our southwest that is moving in our direction. as far as some of those numbers go, got to take a look here. it's still 51 in minneapolis, 60 in chicago, and 63 in kansas city. we have a warm front passing by to the north. that's bringing in the warmer air. all of this out to our west, that's the next one that will move our way. this is how it works out. tomorrow, sunshine, high pressure still in control. as we head into the next couple of days, that front gets a bit closer. we'll see the clouds come in during the day on thursday. it's thursday night into friday there's a chance for rain. with that rain coming through, it will knock down temperatures. by friday, we start to drop. but the thing is, it's nothing all that extreme. the forecast looks like this. on the waters, just a light wind out of the south early in the day. it will pick up through the afternoon and we could see small craft adviso

to the west of us, it's more of a southerly wind. and that warm air out to the west.s 84 degrees today. 81 yesterday in minneapolis. now getting shower activity in the middle of the country. some of in activity, and we do need the rain, will probably be here, we think, saturday and sunday, with a risk of showers and maybe a couple of thundershowers. ahead of it, though, very warm air in the east. shower activity, you can see, across most of the mountain areas. virginia, north carolina and extreme southeastern portions of tennessee. just a little upstate of south carolina. but this warm, high pressure continues to build over the area. 80-degree temps. i think we'll see them thursday or friday. may get up to 81 or 82 degrees by the end of the week. and then little clouds come in for the weekend. and a risk of some much-needed rain. southeast winds on the bay. 5 to 10 knots. so tonight, took out the shower possibility. just clouds. 58, a little fog in the morning. burning off, back into the low, perhaps the mid-70s. so another beautiful spring day headed our way. and it

that is what's allowing the nice warm flow of air to push in from the south and helping keep our temperatures up. we'll continue to get that southerlyto the course of the week and continue to stay into the 70-degree range. you can see all the warm air across the eastern half of the country from central regions, 80s in nashville, the same in new orleans. this is all starting to move this way up the mid-atlantic. we do have those clouds sticking around into the course of tonight and continuing to move their way through. let's take a quick look at radar of one thing i'm keeping an eye on is precipitation out to the west. on radar you'll be able to see that because to our west we're starting to see a few thunderstorms popping up especially near front royal. could we go to radar, please? right here along the i-81 corridor. this is lingering through. it hasn't been moving all that fast. we'll watch it into the course of tonight. back to our weather maps, then. that's all associated with a system that's way out here to the west gradually moving through, a couple upper level disturbance. we'll watch that. we may see a shower passing through

right now, it's the southerly and southwesterly winds that brought this warm air in.terday, it was in the 60s. mid- to upper 60s. illinois, those portions out to the west, areas in the west, were near 70 almost. in fact, denver was like 71. now they've dropped back into 30s. but there is a cool front across the northern plains. it will bring us some clouds. a chance of showers here late tomorrow night, early friday. not a lot of rain with it. but it will probably rain a little bit early friday morning. and then the front will move off the area. and it will actually get a little cooler for friday afternoon. and saturday will be chilly. but looks like another warmup coming back on sunday and next week. so quick cool shot again. as you see, just a few clouds in the area. here's that warm air tomorrow. probably back up close to 70. the clouds come in at night. some showers and clears out friday afternoon. may linger a little bit across southern areas by friday afternoon. but we should clear out. turn out to be a cooler but dryer afternoon. tonight, looking for 45-degree t

southerly winds. now, there is a lot of warm air over there. look at that. 60 degrees in bismarck right now. we are going to continue to pull that in our direction. before we get into our next round of warmer air we've got a front to deal with. but overall even with the front coming through the pattern this week is far off to the north. with it so far to the north we are allowed to bask in that warmth. this is a summertime pattern that we're going to benefit from this last week of winter. here is the next front moving in our direction. it's a big one farther to the west but it will weaken as it moves our way. chance for a couple of showers tonight into tomorrow as all of this sort of skirts our area from the south. but the thing is this storm is only going to pass by and then move off to the northeast. so it keeps us in the warm air and then we continue to build on that warm air for the middle part of the week. wait until you see some of these numbers. on the waters with this going on we have small craft advisories in effect this afternoon. bay temp is still 46 degrees. that's why if you are

air is moving our way. we have high pressure over head, that will make a nice sunny day. the past few days, we were on the cool side. now we have a southerlye breezy today and into tomorrow. a warm breeze, a good breeze. there is a cold front of the northwest. that will usher in the colder air for friday and saturday. it is march in washington, so temperatures go up and down. this cold front will put us back in the downswing for friday and saturday and probably trigger a few areas of rain come thursday night while we are sleeping. mostly sunny, warm are today. south wind at 8 to 18 miles per hour. we are talking here 70 what you are sleeping in -- near 70 and ran well you were sleeping tomorrow. spring forward on saturday night. >> looking forward to 70 tomorrow. right now, temperatures closer to 40 on this wednesday morning. pete, did you forget yours? me pete, me use pen!
