. >> and chuck bell, good for you on this forecast. i mean, hello. >> i mean, it doesn't feel like february, but i guess in lieu of complaining we'll just go ahead and enjoy it. we're likely to end up with what could be our warmest february on record. still a week to go in our month. as of now the average temperature for the month is right at 45.1 degrees. the all-time warmest february on record. 1976, the average was 46.9, but when you crank our forecast numbers in between a within a tenth of a degree of either tying or exceeding the

you mean chuck bell and melissa mae lay? do you mean them? >> got your shout out. let's move on. >> okay. and by the way, i call thursday -- oh, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. so you can look closely at the weekend and the weekend looks absolutely fantastic. this morning, though, we're talking about cold and windy conditions. following like the 20s.

. >> chuck bell and sheena parveen standing by and melissa mollet as well. but you know, chuck, i'm going to say it's cold. i know you don't think it's that cold. i think it's cold. i always think it's cold. >> it's chilly. now there's at least one person on each side of the fence back here on the weather in the mornings. we do have a -- we'll call it a seasonable chill outside this morning. temperatures mostly in the 30s and 40s and clouds are moving back into the picture. a whole lot of clouds coming your way for later on today. not a big rain chance. certainly a few drops around late afternoon into early this evening. again, not looking for a big impact from that. a cold wind blows back in for tomorrow setting the stage for a very chilly weekend, but that sunday storm we've been keeping a close eye on, it's looking like less, not more, which is good news for anybody that hates the snow, eun yang, and then we might be back many the 60s go over to the cold hating sheena parveen. >> we can't wait for next week. this weekend is going to feel like winter so chu

as chuck bell told you, it will be a beautiful day to go to the national zoo. >> molette green is theret the national zoo with the best times to visit bao bao one last time. molette, good morning. >> good morning to you. the last check of the live panda cam, she was sleeping. but look at this face. look at that. we're saying good-bye to a washington, d.c. celebrity on this international journey she's going to make. today being a holiday, a lot of people are home from school and work. of course this weather is superb. thanks, chuck and sheena. so, it's a great mix. here's what you need to know before you head out. this is the best thing. the panda hou 10:00 a.m. that is around the same time they'll give her her first ice cake treat. then between 10 and 10:20. then at 1:30, another treat comes. the treat today will be this ice cake in the form of a suitcase. yeah. this is perfect. and, you know this has to happen. we knew this when bao bao was born that around age four, it's part of the conservation program. it's bitter sweet, but we know this is for the betterment of these beautiful anim

. >> start off with chuck bell, all smiles because of this great forecast. >> love it. you know me, a little hint of winter finally coming back and don't get me wrong. i loved yesterday afternoon. 73 record shattering degrees yesterday. the old record was 64 so we not only went by, we went sailing by it yesterday. here's the leading edge of the return to winter. it's not going to last long, but it might pack quite a punch. already winter storm watches are issued for northern maryland. no advisories for the immediate d.c. area just yet. that is likely to be changing. i fully expect the weather service to issue a winter weather advisory that will include most if not all of the d.c. metro area as we get tomorrow. really mild and dry. staying dry for most of the day today as well, but again, heavy wet snow likely by this time tomorrow morning and friday will be windy and cold, may have a serious black issue to worry about on your friday morning commute. so we need to enjoy this quiet commute on a wednesday as much as we can. >> yes, enjoy it as much as you can, chuck, becau

chuck bell. >> it's cold outside this morning but it isn't going to stay that way. our warmest february on record gets right back to the way it has been. above average temperatures coming your way this afternoon. most areas back into the mid and upper 50s. sheena's got the extended forecast which has more warm weather just ahead. >> and is dominating your news feed? her labor has been broadcast live for days. when her big baby could finally arrive. >> and savannah guthrie returns to the "today" show. >>> till no baby for april the giraffe. a lot of you have probably been glued to the giraffe cam. this is the look inside the animal adventure park in upstate new york. >> she could give birth to our fourth calf at any moment. they've been watching her letty clo -- pretty closely. they say she is happy and healthy. can you imagine what that kick must feel like? >> and everyone watching her. she's trying to get some peace. >> she's stressed out. and that's why she can't give birth. >> well, i think we figured it out, eun. we need to comfort her and it will all be well. i

. >> let's check with chuck bell and sheena parveen. >> 70s back to back. all week we've been going, how can we do it? there's just not enough cold air in place. what a cold air challenge this has been, sheen ma. >> yeah, that's right. the rain/snow line is struggling to get into the district. we're around 50 degrees in the district. and i don't see temperatures dropping to 50 gris in the next hour. that does not seem possible. they're going to closer to the district. that's where we start to see some of it changing over, but there is an edge to all this where we start to see a quick end. >> we'll be watching for the end. >> most of the heavier, steadier precipitation, rain or snow should be coming to an end by about 7:00 or 8:00 this morning. though i couldn't rule out some passing snow flurries or a snow squaw or shower later on tharchb as the winds get howling. we'll talk about the impact of all those winds coming up in a few minutes. >> taking a look at the traffic right now, everything is nice and light here this morning. we don't have any big worries.

i'm chuck bell, live at the tidal basin. we'll be asking the park service when they think the blossoms may be reaching their peak. we'll let you know. >>> don't worry if you don't get your taxes done by the april 15th normal deadline. what the filing date has been extended to when our tax tip series continues. >>> and first it was the first daughter. now her father. the stores that just pulled the plug on some of president trump's products. >>> first though we are staying on top of that developing story from the white house. michael flynn resigning as national security advisor. >> edward lawrence is life on capitol hill now. edward, what is the regular bollig nati -- resignation regarding? >> reporter: this moved very quickly. michael flynn had a phone call with russians before president trump was sworn in as president. there's some allegations or reports out there that he may have discussed russian sanctions which could be against the law, so flynn now in his resignation letter said that he briefed the vice president and ot

maybe the universe knew he was going to pay it forward. >> good for him. >>> let's check in with chuck bell for a look at our forecast. not so bad and getting better, chuck. >> what a great little stretch of mild weather coming our way. four thing to know about the forecast. anybody that's on the struggle bus today, a nice easy monday today. we'll be up near records both tuesday and wednesday as what will feel like april showers come our way. temperatures well into the 60s. it will end with a quick return back to some colder more typical of february weather. by thursday morning we could have a rain/snow combination around here. need your medium jacket for the 20s morning. but later today, lows in the mid-50s. >>> so right now a new problem here. i should say existing problem here in reston. still have that crash hanging around blocking that right lane this morning. as for as travel times, 270 looking quite good. top of the beltway looking good. here's 66. fairfax county parkway to the beltway, no worries and quantico to the beltway also looking quite good. remember to listen to wtop when yo

let's start with chuck bell. >> good morning. we are talking about a little chance for some rain drops here early this morning. most of the rain is in the northern half of the news 4 nation this morning. couldn't completely rule out a few drops around the city but the bulk of the rain chance is up across parts of northern maryland. hancock maryland by about 6:15 this morning. gainsboro coming in at 6:30. so if you're living or traveling out there in the next couple of hours rain chances are going up, up, up. we'll be talking about record high temperatures later that we go over to sheena parveen who's out in college park, maryland this morning. how are things out in college park? >> reporter: hey, good morning, chuck. yes, i'm live at the college park metro station this morning. it's a little chilly out here. but we are looking at some big improvements as we go through the day today. so if you liked the arm air yesterday you're going to love today. we'll be warmer and we're talking about some record high temperatures across the ar

. >> and chuck bell, good for you on this forecast.ean, hello. >> i mean, it doesn't feel like february, but i guess in lieu of complaining we'll just go ahead and enjoy it. we're likely to end up with what could be our warmest february on record. still a week to go in our month. as of now the average temperature for the month is right at 45.1 degrees. the all-time warmest february on record. 1976, the average was 46.9, but when you crank our forecast numbers in between a within a tenth of a degree of either tying or exceeding the record for all-time warmest february. wait till you see this extended forecast into the weekend. how about two or three more days in the 70s just around the corner. right now 47 under a cloudy sky here in washington. planning out the day, a lot of clouds, maybe a couple light rain drops around here the first part of the day. mainly out west of the city. even with a fair amount of clouds around we'll get just enough sunshine to get temperatures up to about 65 degrees. here's all the moisture bottled up to our

chuck bell is here now with a look at what we can expect in the next few hours.ndy out there. >> dangerously so and it is critically important that you never ever go anywhere near a downed power line. you have to assume that that line is energized and you need to call your power company and report it. number one thing to know about the weather for today, weather alert day. stay ahead of the gusty winds by having our nbc washington app fired up and ready to go. powerful gusts still possible of 50 to 60 miles per hour later today. quieter weather does come back tomorrow and it will be milder for now though those howling northwest winds have windchills back in the low to mid-20s. bundle up and hang on to your hats and hairpieces today. 40s for highs later on today but it is the wind that will going to impact your day. for more on that let's go to sheena who is outside in it. >> yes, and i will tell you it has died down for a minute out here. it's been very windy all morning as it is everywhere. but through the day today we're talking about those wind gusts increasin

i'm storm team 4 meteorologist chuck bell. all we have is cloud cover around the nation's capital here early this morning. just down to our south and east, there are some wet snowflakes down across the lower parts of the chesapeake bay. they're not coming our way. they're all moving out. we'll get sunshine back here later this afternoon. temperatures back near 50 for today. even milder weather coming our way for the middle of the week. complete check of the five-day forecast just ahead. >> thank you, chuck. >>> the search is on for this teenage boy in the district. take a look at his photo, if you can. his name is sean weldon. he was last seen on friday near 10th street and maryland avenue in northeast d.c. if you have seen him or know where he is, >>> time right now is 9:13. this next woman arguably has the greatest job in the country. >> this is so cool. nbc's kevin tibbles introduces us to the smithsonian's new beer historian and also reveals how she was tapped for the coveted career. >> reporter: ah, the nice refreshing ta

chuck bell, good morning to you, sir. >> very good morning to you, melissa. partly to cloudy sky already in place and clouds will continue to thicken as we go through the day. so if you're getting anything in the way of sunsh early on in the day. in washington it's 36 degrees. just a hint of a southwesterly breeze right now. a bit of a chill factor out there. january is over, february now underway. tomorrow is ground hog day. we'll see if punxsutawney phil sees his shadow. january ended up our warmest january in 11 years. 6 degrees warmer than average. the last time we had a january warmer than that was back in 2006 and obviously we were snow challenged as well. for today, no snow chances. temperatures will be above freezing this afternoon, but there could be just a little sprinkle or two from time to time. a lot of clouds around. temperatures today mid to upper 40s. colder air moves in tomorrow. could impact the weekend. let's go over to sheena with more on that. >> yes, we are talking about colder temperatures for the weekend so even though today is the fir

chuck bell, good morning. >> good morning. planning on doing stuff outside, first you've got to look at this. this was the show in the skies last night, a meteor streaked across parts of the upper midwest. you can see the reflection of it in the roofs of the cars and the thispolice dash cam video was from just outside of chicago. haven't had any reports of anyone around here that saw it last night. if you did let me know on twitter. >> cold and dry outside this morning with temperatures in the 20s and 30s. this is about as cold as it's going to be between now and thursday. this evening there will be an opportunity for a little light rain coming in late this evening, but most of your plans will be dry for today and then as we get into tuesday, mild, rain likely at least at some point during the day tomorrow and another shower chance on wednesday. the big story for tuesday and wednesday will be the opportunity to break record high temperatures. we'll be in the mid-50s today but we may touch record highs both tuesday and wednesda

feel free and encouraged to send me pictures on twitter@chuck bell 4. we'll keep the daily grade below average and you know, temperatures have to be below average once in a while. otherwise we'd just call it march. >> that's what happens. and we are seeing a cold spell and i only say spell because it's going to be very sholived bundle up this morning especially the kids at the bus stop. this is what really matters when you step outside is what it feels like when the wind hits your skin. feels like 13 degrees in the district. gaithersburg is now down to feeling like 6 degrees. feels like 14 in quantico. we're looking atl take a look at what's going to happen today. actual temperatures are in the 20s. we'll stay that way until lunchtime and then we finally get into the 30s. a cold day today. a closer look at what you can expect into your week and a warmup coming. let's check the roads with melis melissa. >> a couple of things that just cleared out of the way. beltway overall looking pretty good. this is gone as well. southbound 95 there at 630. stafford,

chuck bell. it looks very, very nice here today. >> such a nice day to be outside today. help you out a little bit, what to wear, no real jacket required today. just some long sleeves perhaps or early this morning. a precautionary tale of maybe needing an intrel out in the shennendoah valley this afternoon. rain chances are below 20% and we'll have enough sunshine where you may need your sunglasses. daily grade? no question about it, a plus weather for today. up into the low and mid 70s this afternoon. potentially even warmer tomorrow. and the weekend, well, let's just say that the first half of the weekend may be the a little on the soggy side. sheena has that peek of the weekend forecast come up in a few minutes. >> thank you, chuck. >>> this morning, crews in north dakota will clean up the debris andda a few protesters set their tents and teepees on fire after they left the camp. all protesters were ordered out of the camp by 2:00 p.m. yesterday so cleanup can begin before the next section of the pipeline. ten people did not comply with the deadline and were arrested t
