doug hill is here with what to expect the rest of this monday. doug? doug: hey, jummy. no rain at thishour. a couple of showers could pass by. 60 degrees right now and a little sunshine. you see patches of blue sky. with the disturbance moving in from the north and west, the sunshine will be diminishing through the midday and afternoon hours as well. 53 still in martinsburg. 55 in gaithersburg. 60 now in fredricksburg and also in the nation's capital, as far as the cloud cover goes the wet is being kind of carried along it a little bit by these northwesterly winds but the speeds are not really high. 10 to 15 miles per hour. that's enough to keep a bit of a chill in the air with temperatures holding in the 50's near 60. by 4:00 or 5:00, 64 degrees and shortly thereafter we'll see this disturbance come through and the disturbance shows up here in the satellite and radar kind of pinwheeling through ohio and pennsylvania. look for a few showers and we'll have more on that. take a look at the next seven days for you. jummy? jummy: thank you. happening right now, opening state

chief meteorologist doug hill is here with a look at the first forecast. doug? doug: hey jummy. plenty of rain. temperatures very mild. later today, the wind direction will change and the temperatures will start cooling off. the one thing that will not change is the rain or the threat of rain every minute here through the rest of this tuesday. as far as the radar goes doppler shows wide area of rain. few breaks here and there with the patterns. little specks are heavier localized downpours. no lightning. some periods of rain at continuous times through later tonight. here's the reason for it. the rain stretches westward into kentucky. southern sections of indiana so all that rain is going to make a move to the east-northeast and will eventually get out of there. it's going to take until much later this evening. look at the numbers. very mild locally in the 60's and a little cooler north of the metro area and through the day, we'll see the slow drop in temperatures and occasional showers ending sometime between 7:00 and 9:00 tonight. look ahead to the rest of the week and weekend

doug hill here to explain some big changes ahead on the weekend. doug? doug: a big change coming. for the moment wintergreen resort, they had 43-mile-per-hour winds now. everybody else kind of breezy, though. 50 degrees at arlington. 48 in the district and 47 degrees in herndon. temperatures across the area very chilly. a good 15 to 20 degrees below average but the warm air will start moving in tonight. tomorrow, we really get into the warm air and out west today, they're getting hit by all kinds of showers, heavy thunderstorms. in fact, right now a large area under a severe thunderstorm watch in this pink color. these are all severe thunderstorm warnings and farther west chicagoland and south, that's a tornado watch. we'll have to deal with all kinds of changes and maybe severe weather in parts of our area tomorrow. steve rudin joins us now with talk of severe weather that's been nasty. steve: across the midwest over the past 24 hours, rough going. gusty winds, tornadoes, hail. take a look for yourself what's going on and we'll show you. this is a shot from ohio. and you can see t

alison: yep, chief meteorologist doug hill joins us with a check of the forecast. how is it looking, doug? doug: it's coming our way. not a question of if just a question of when. we're tracking rain out west. doppler radar, live images and off to the west of the metro area well west other side of petersburg, we have a line of showers and some thunder. you can see the marks. 22 lightning strikes in that segment alone. we expect that area to diminish. what will not diminish is the rain potential. with the rain we've had through last night and today as well inch and quarter in laurel and silver spring. college park close to an inch. so it's been in a lull most of the day. continuing to push eastward at a good clip and we expect timing wise for most of it to push through. we're chilly in stable air. look at how warm that is. that's fueling the showers and storms. as those storms enter our cool air mass that will diminish the thunder potential but continue likely with rain. later tonight, taper it off down to some showers and drizzle with temperatures holding in the 40's. there are brighter days ah

chief meteorologist doug hill here with the word on that. doug? doug: yep, i mean, gusty winds and warm temperatures at the moment. but rain tomorrow. let's get you started with numbers. very impressive out there right now. 79 at reagan national. mid to upper 70's common place. 81 now in frederick. and in fredricksburg. give you a live shot from the rooftop camera. bouncing around a bit at the winds but a beautiful afternoon. let's get out front and talk to steve rudin about the winds and what's blowing around in the winds. steve: it's absolutely gorgeous out here. lots of sunshine and hardly any clouds to speak of. as you mentioned, a bit windy at times. wind gusts upwards of 20 to 30 miles an hour as you head to weather graphics and you can see that especially with the warmer air is helping to circulate all that pollen. if you are an allergy sufferer and if your eyes are running and if your nose is stuffy. if you've been coughing this is the reason why. we have high pollen counts for the trees and you can thank the cherry blossoms for that and not to

our chief meteorologist doug hill is in the stormwatch weather center with more on a freeze warning. right, doug? doug: temperatures in the 50's kind of cloudy and breezy. how can we get freezing? what can happen tonight is the skies will clear and the winds will drop off. temperatures will drop quickly. right now, cloudy outside of the belfort furniture weather center. few sprinkles showing up on doppler radar, very steadily drift to the east and southeast over the past couple of hours. chilly 59 at reagan national. 54 in frederick. 49 degrees in hagerstown. if you want warm stuff, culpepper, fredricksburg around 50. that's as warm as it gets. there's the area under the freeze warning. it's for the overnight hours through about 6:00, 7:00, 8:00 in the morning. areas shaded in purple northern maryland and up and down the i-81 corridor so for tonight, clearing skies. diminishing winds. and temperatures ranging across the viewing area between 30 and 40 degrees. that's warm enough in the colder spots to get temperatures to cause some freezing issues for at laos a couple of hours earlier tomorrow. a few m

doug hill is here with a look at the first forecast. hey, doug. doug: hi there. been watching rain from earlier this morning. moved off east to the eastern shore. so for the moment outside of those areas, most of them have a cloudy, damp day and a little touch of light rain and drizzle. stuff that's too light to be detected by doppler radar. but there are areas to the west that we can definitely detect by doppler. here it is. complex of thunderstorms from columbus that arced back southwestward into a northwestern kentucky. there's a lot of activity with that as far as heavy rain. what will happen in the afternoon hours is across the mountains it will encounter this very chilly damp stable air so i think thunderstorms should diminish rapidly once it hits the blue ridge and we'll have more rain this afternoon. look at the difference in temperatures, dark green, 40's to near 50 here. elkins west virginia, 70 right now and different story in the warm air and here in the cold air, result will be a chilly afternoon and more showers late this afternoon and more periods o

let's get to doug hill with a first look at the forecast. hey there doug. doug: hey there, jummy. live look from the belfort weather camera in alexandria. 69 degrees. few high clouds. sunny days in alexandria and throughout the entire area. temperatures will manage their way in the low to mid 70's. 72 already in reagan national and manassas. 70 degrees at andrews and frederick and 73 in fredricksburg. somewhere, it's 74 and 75 i think, for most areas, slow increase in high cloudiness through the afternoon but the sun will still manage to shine through. more clouds later tonight and then overnight tomorrow morning, then a chance of showers with the approaching cold front. with high pressure off the ocean now, looks good for this afternoon but that front will bring the showers and clear right back out later tomorrow afternoon. check out the next seven days in detail for you in a few minutes. jummy? jummy: all right, doug. the list of 2016 presidential hopefuls is getting bigger. hillary clinton hit the ground running this morning after announcing her candidacy yesterday. abc's karen

chief meteorologist doug hill is here with the timing and track of the latest storms. doug, tell us about it. doug: ok jummy. we had the heavy rain this morning. skies are bright. we're sunny. 72 degrees. winds continue out of the south-southwest and may pick up. you're absolutely right. we expect lines of storms to potentially be heavy and even severe to develop later this afternoon. just east of the appalachians and as they develop, we'll watch for the possibility of strong winds and hail in some of these. 74 degrees in fredricksburg. you can see the satellite and radar showing the heavier rain. this morning moving out, you see a few lines developing west of the mountains. they'll start to really blossom once they get east of the mountains probably after 3:00 to 4:00 this afternoon. we, because of that have a possibility of that severe storms. get hail and wind probably will be the biggest features so when we get close to 80 degrees this afternoon and again, 3:00 to 7:00 that's the best time frame for the majority of the area to see the lines of storms coming in. and then as far as the effects,

chief meteorologist doug hill is here with a look at what will do for temperatures today. doug? doug: hey, jummy, it looks like it will close to the upper 60's and close to 70. take a look at the live rooftop cameras from this view to the east and southeast, still very cloudy. there's breaks in the overcast to the west and northwest throughout parts of the area. you'll see that. 63 now, north-northeasterly winds at nine miles per hour. 61 at baltimore and frederick and 59 degrees at the noon hour in annapolis and look for the temperatures to climb. a lot of this will be controlled by cloud cover. we do see the breaks in the overcast and you can see on satellite, the warming from that will be all set by northeasterly winds but the bottom line is the rain that we think we had earlier this morning that will stay to the south and that's good news for the remainder of the afternoon hours and tomorrow looks great as well. so for this day, for this wednesday, partly sunny skies. upper 60's. maybe near 70 degrees with a light wind out of the north at five to 10. check the rest of the week an

chief meteorologist doug hill has the forecast for us. hi, doug. doug: we're not going to have another sunny day but won't have a day like yesterday with all the big boomers in the area. 69 degrees and the nation's capital looking live from the rooftop camera in rosslyn. beautiful afternoon and so it should remain for this early evening. the west-southwesterly winds will diminish a bit tonight. 64 degrees in gaithersburg as we speak. 6 6 66 degrees in manassas and 67 degrees in lexington park maryland. current wind southwesterly. 10 miles per hour at washington dulles dulles. and 16 miles per hour again at reagan national. those wind speeds will slowly diminish during the evening hours. tonight, we'll have lighter winds, we'll have partly cloudy skies and the temperatures through the overnight and by tomorrow morning, 44 to 52 degrees. chilly start to the day and through the afternoon we'll see a chance of developing, 66 for a high. dried, cool 59 on thursday. same deal into friday. the weekend forecast that's the subject, the next time i get together w

doug hill is here with a look at the first forecast. hey there, doug. doug: one good thing about this time of year we'll turn colder and we were in the yesterday. not that much warmth around today. here's the key, when we get cooler this time of year we have highs in the 50's. a month ago we had highs in the 20's. we're sitting pretty here. live look from the rooftop camera across the river. currently, 50 degrees at reagan national airport and 46 in gaithersburg. 48 at winchester. but we'll do a little better than that as we go through the day tomorrow. the numbers right now, anywhere from 14 to 18 degrees colder than noontime yesterday. we're in a nice pattern here 58 with the sunshine today and as we look forward towards the end of the week, in the 70's will return starting tomorrow. may have some rain on good friday and we'll take a peep at the easter sunday weather. all that just ahead on abc 7 news at noon. jummy? jummy: see you then. around the world, iran nuclear talks have resumed in switzerland hours after abandoning the deadline to reach a deal. th

chief meteorologist doug hill in the abc 7 storm watch weather center with when the messy weather will move in. doug? doug: we're starting to see some of those showers pop up right now although outside of the belfort furniture weather center, bright sunshine at the moment. let's get to it and show you the picture from the rooftop. beautiful scene but there are a few showers popping up. doppler radar shows a few heavier downpours located to the north and east of front royal and a few more west of warrenton. a couple of showers out of mount vernon into charles county. that's going to be the story the next several hours. you notice they're moving to the southeast towards stafford and towards southern maryland. we'll keep that in the forecast for the next few hours after that, things will settle down nicely tonight. 78 at reagan national. 77 at dulles and andrews now. 79 degrees in frederick. for this friday evening, partly sunny. isolated showers and thundershowers. light southwesterly wind as we head later tonight, all that ends and partly cloudy with temperatures in the 50's. the weekend forecast if you ha

chief meteorologist doug hill in the stormwatch weather center with a look at what this means to you. hi, doug. doug: hi there. getting ready for cooler temperatures for the next several days. kind of cloudy ask cool outside of the belfort furniture weather center right now. let's take you to a live weather bug camera lots of clouds around there and a few lingering showers behind the early afternoon cold front. showers getting ready to pass through laurel. 53 degrees right now. and doppler radar shows the area getting close to laurel stretching southeast to bowie. we'll see the rain come and go over the next couple of hours. by 6:30 7:00, the rain threat will pretty much end as drier air filters in behind the cold front. some of the storms are rather heavy moving across long island but in our area lingering showers and falling temperatures. half of the wind advisory gone now, been cancelled. but farther south along the i-81 corridor it will stay up until 8:00 tonight. temperatures, still 60's south and east everybody will turn chilly tonight through the nats game tonight, it will be partly cloudy, b

doug hill is here with a look at the first forecast for us. hey, doug. doug: kind of breezy and chilly out there right now. here we are in the second full month of spring and we have weather that will remind of us late winter. lot of clouds sun and gusty winds. 17 miles per hour at reagan national. only 57 degrees. it's 48 still in gaithersburg and cumberland. 51 degrees now in annapolis. the winds are a story too, and yeah, we got a bit of a chill you can calculate with temperatures in the 50's and winds 15 to 20 miles per hour makes it feel a few degrees cooler and later tonight, it's going to get downright cold. here's the story. breezy chilly maybe a sprinkle towards the maryland-pennsylvania line this noon. temperatures fall more quickly and in fact, the winds will diminish lighter tonight and as temperatures fall, there's a freeze watch up. you see it shaded in blue. frederick, carroll county maryland washington county straight down to the blue ridge and points west along i-811. could get below freezing for a couple of hours in the morning in those loca

chief meteorologist doug hill is here with a lookhe first forecast. hey, doug. doug: hi there. plenty of sunshine for the moment. what will happen later this afternoon is the clouds will increase and this evening, rain will move through the area. for the moment beautiful. 69 degrees with the sunshine. outside of the belfort furniture weather center and the reagan national airport dew point is low, too at 67 degrees. 68 degrees in frederick right now. annapolis picking up a bit of a bay breeze and 58. reagan national can see the temperatures drop a couple of degrees and winds coming across the potomac river could do that. the general theme is we're going to push through the upper 60's to around 70 area wide. it will be a very pleasant afternoon but during the mid afternoon hours, you will notice an increase in cloudiness from the west and that cloudiness will produce showers. i think they'll be later tonight. looking at radar trends right now, certainly could happen in some areas west of town by very late this afternoon or early this evening. keeping a very close eye on that. so

chief meteorologist doug hill is tracking the rain showers and he joins us now with the latest. doug? doug: hey, maureen. kind of cloudy at the moment outside of the belfort furniture weather center. doppler radar shows plenty of areas of rain especially south and southwest of metro. heaviest downpours south of fairfax and across the route 195 corridor in dale city. it's moving from right to left and moving from east to west not the usual pattern of travel around here. there's a lot of rain to deal with. most of the heavier amounts will be d.c. metro area west and the entire pattern will slowly calm down during the day tomorrow and things are looking good for the weekend not only with the clearing trend but warming trend. all the details coming up in the seven day outlook in a few minutes. maureen? maureen: thanks, doug. still ahead at 6:00 how senator bernie sanders may alter the tone in the race for the white house. plus a rescue team from county pulls a 15-year-old from beneath a collapsed building in nepal. the one thing that saved that teenager's life and a suspect is named in the att

alison: doug hill is tracking this weather alert for us. hi doug. doug: things start to go develop a little bit right now for you. the key determining factor and where the best chances for severe weather is. not so much in the d.c. metro in points north and northeast where it's been cool all day. doppler radar to the metro area a little line of showers but there's no lightning strikes reported anywhere. let's zoom in closely here. you can see if we go from front royal all the way to sperryville, that's a line of shower. no lightning. trend of this system is diminishing a bit as it encounters this cool damp air. will it get showers? yeah. could we get an isolated thunderstorm? yeah. are we going to get severe weather, probably not. but the farther south and east you go the better the chances of that happening. even though it's 4. 306789 -- 4:30 in the after. once we get through the next few hours, any isolated showers or thunder will end. we'll see skies clear late tonight. drop through the 50's. and the weekend spectacular! coming up in a few minutes, al

doug hill is here to explain when we'll need those umbrellas. hey, doug. douglarry and alison. by friday don't put them far away. you'll need them back. things are slow to clear out. still some cloudiness. filtered sunshine getting through. warm us up to 68 degrees at reagan national airport. 64 in martinsburg, hagerstown and frederick. 66 degrees right now in fredricksburg and we'll see a pleasant enough evening. skies will clear. might even clear soon enough to enjoy beautiful sunset tonight. temperatures will fall through the 50's and even the 40's. 42 to 50. the range of overnight temperatures. the high pressure across areas of eastern canada to new england, pushing south slowly. that has kept the rain to the south and in time this evening will push the clouds out of the way and make for a pretty good forecast as we head through the day tomorrow. lots of sunshine and 67. plan on the rain on friday. mild 70. saturday looks terrific. sunshine and mid 70's. there's our averages. 67 and 47. good this time of year to get a few days where we're actually above ave

chief meteorologist doug hill joins us with his forecast. doug? doug: the question is will not need your umbrellas tomorrow but you will this evening. there's no rain at all at the moment but give another 10 or 15 minutes and another batch will come through. key here tonight is the steadiest, widest area of rain has moved east of the metro area and now we have patches of rain metro washington south and west, steady areas trying to reform winchester and north to martinsburg. you notice the subtle movement to the northeast. this is the beginning of the end of this storm center and stationary front moving out of the area clearly on the right-hand side of your screen the heaviest rain through norfolk, outer banks and off the coast of delaware. it will be a process over the next five hours or so for the rain. turn into little batches and coming to an end. temperatures right now 56 at reagan national. that's a degree higher than last year. eventually eventually temperatures will fall overnight as skies clear in the overnight hours. i think maybe another .1 .

doug hill is here with the look at the first forecast for today. doug? doug: gusty winds, kind of early in the day for us. normally, our showers and gusty winds come later in the afternoon. it's a rapidly moving cold front. let's tell you the weather story on this wednesday. beautiful weather out there at the moment. but this is all going to change as the heavy line of showers moves into the area here. some lightning and thunder developing as well and that's going to be the story here for the next hour or two. winds are gusting from 25 to 35 miles per hour and that's going to be a story into the afternoon hours. a larger picture shows the rapidly moving area of rain with a few areas of thunder and lightning move in and some snow falling across pennsylvania with the strong cold front. we have an advisory for the winds gusting over 50 miles an hour north and west of the metro area. what will happen over the next couple of hours, there's a possibility that that advisory could be expanded eastward. showers come in with the thunder, they'll be rapid movers and i t

chief meteorologist doug hill joins us with a first look at the forecast. doug? doug: very quiet outside the belfort furniture weather center cloudy and cool and damp. we're watching showers and some thunderstorms getting closer and closer to the metro area. but the number of lightning strikes diminishing every time we look near the lightning counter. winchester to front royal west to culpepper. that's one line of very heavy downpours as smaller lines ahead of it moving into the western suburbs right now. we'll look for showers and thunderstorms probably about 7:00 moving into the city into the metro area. definitely having an effect at the beginning of the nationals game but much larger picture shows a much bigger area of rain. this is all being propelled to the south and east into this cooler and damp air. that will take the starch out of it all and giving rain to it. later tonight, talking about drizzle and any lingering showers will come to an end. we'll see brighter days ahead. happy to share that in a few minutes. maureen? maureen: thank you doug. congressman ch

chief meteorologist doug hill is here with a look at our first forecast. hey, doug. doug: hey there, no rain right now. kind of cloudy and mild outside of the belfort furniture weather center. let's give you a look right now at conditions in alexandria from the bell haven country club and little breaks every now and then. the sun tries to peek through. i think that will be a losing battle but temperatures are mild enough. 66 degrees there. 60 degrees at quantico. 67 at washington dulles. 55 degrees with that cool breeze coming off the river and the chesapeake bay in annapolis. we'll do better. we'll hit 70 degrees i think in most spots. there's rain to deal with. first batch, heavy rain moving out of the bristol, virginia and tennessee will spread southeastward through north carolina but a few more showers likely as we head through the afternoon and really for the next several days we'll have shower opportunities. best chances for an isolated thunderstorm, perhaps, today and then again for the day on friday. but for this tuesday, not like yesterday's award-winning weather

personally i've known and worked with vieira over thirty years when i began a attorney she was there asia annie is here in her honor i know all the senior housing and services from joint powers

vieira and annie said you have to diesel with food security seniors are having a hard time it can't be the food centers but make sure their better endo you do we put money into the food security for

alison: our chief meteorologist doug hill in the storm watch 7 weather center watching the skies for us. hi, doug, what do you see? doug: some showers definitely getting closer to the metro area right now. we've been tracking them all afternoon. let's look at the live super doppler 7 radar and that shows the close-up now. one thing that you'll see interesting is all the rain spots that indicate heavier rain is a giveaway of thunderstorms. there's no lightning being detected. they're small, heavy downpours along a front system moving through the area. it will make tracks eastward towards haymarket, manassas and eventually towards the potomac river. everybody has a chance with the patterns of this system. scattered showers, our best chance of any widespread thunderstorms and potentially heavy thunderstorms will come later friday afternoon. 70 now at the reagan national airport. 69 at andrews and 65 degrees in baltimore through the evening, temperatures will slowly fall but the hold in the 50's with scattered showers and patches of light rain and as we head through the day tomorrow look for a cloudy day. much cooler day.

so our chief meteorologist doug hill is standing by tracking the weather alert for us. hi, doug. doug: hello there. thunderstorms this evening will isolated and showers more widespread. moving towards the washington metro area at a pretty good clip right now. let's get you started outside of the belfort furniture center. live doppler shows a line of showers from martinsburg, hagerstown down the i-81 corridor and they are moving to the east. don't see any lightning detected. don't expect any from this line but a couple of little downpours. one near martinsburg and the one farther south. we'll watch that move through the area. best guesstimate around 5:30 6:00, there will be scattered showers. this is just the beginning of a very protracted period. i want you to look out to the west and the left-hand side of your screen all the weather that you see severe thunderstorm warnings and a tornado warning in southern indiana right now so all this energy will be mixing up with a cold front coming up from the north rather and a warm front from the south later in the week. we'll be stuck in a pat

doug now. as we mentioned, the temperatures will drop quite a bit today. scott: very cold. how long will that stick around, doug? doug: looks like several more days. it will be colder tomorrow night than tonight. real chill in the air behind the cold front. let's get you started. also a few areas of showers lingering behind the cold front and dropped temperatures. nothing particularly heavy. a little cell now will be moving through dale city shortly. we expect a shower to come to an end over the next couple of hours. we have the wind advisory in effect in higher elevations north and west of the metro area. that will continue a few more hours. even the lower 70's earlier. still 70's well south and east of washington dropping into the lower 50's and upper 40's farther to the north and the west. the winds, they've changed direction. that has brought in the cooler temperatures. wind speeds now 20 miles per hour at reagan national. 14 at washington dulles. so we'll see some clouds and then a few areas of sunshine through the evening hours. we'll hold in the lower 60's and then later tonight, temperatures will plummet 34 t
