late tonight, 11:00, see the showers, frederick, hagerstown. they are going to be north of town and they move north of town in the wee hours of the morning. if you are driving down from frederick, you'll probably have some wet roads. some more showers by lunchtime, but light activity. and then by evening, the coverage increases a little bit. still light, but enough to cause some wet roads. look what happens, it's like a line of showers, storms will try to move through by 4:00 or 5:00 in the morning on friday. that's the bad news. chilly, shower by dawn. lows 34 to 39. we stay above freezing. tomorrow morning, a few showers. not that many. temperatures in the 30s and 40s. winds southeast at 10:00. by afternoon, well, we're looking at mostly cloudy skies and 45 to 50. winds southeasterly at 10 to 15. next seven days. once we get rid of showers and storms on friday. we're looking at temperatures back in the mid 50s on friday. if you can believe that. saturday and sunday, we raised temperatures a little bit now. temperatures in the low 50s on satur

you can see hagerstown coming in at 34. the dew point is low.that precipitation is going to take -- the dew point really has to get into the 20s at least for that precip, i think, to even reach the ground. so late tonight, when you're driving around, you might see some snow showers or a few flurries. then it will quickly end after midnight. tomorrow will be a basically sunny or partly cloudy day. 38, annapolis, and kent island. rock hall. 36. here's why. one front coming through tonight. maybe snow showers. more significant area of low pressure moving across montana. but it's being quickly fed off to the east by the jet stream. and north of that, it's very cold air. south of it, it's mild. in between, that's where we're seeing the precipitation breaking out. there's rain, snow. by the time it reaches our region, early saturday morning, i'm talking like after midnight tomorrow night, it will probably be cold enough for a period of snow, sleet and yes, even some freezing rain. right now, you can see the snow out to the west of us. most of it passi

the meteorologist out there in hagerstown said they turned over to snow. temperatures are in the 20s but they are not getting stickage. that's the idea they got that in the mountains limiting our chance of getting the dusting to ionch. really limiting it. so we are turning things over. finksburg and westminster and hereford zone waiting to see if mount airy is there. this is a computer extrapolation of what might be happening. it may not be showing where theflakes are falling. starting to turn in through howard county. the wider picture 42 top of the hour in baltimore. 28 in buffalo but look at the teens across the great lakes. and then single digits. a lot of cold air that's wrapping behind this storm system and we show a tornado right? no it's whipping up. low pressure cold front stretching through and it's about the arctic blast and we get in on that. and the real question this morning is was about the road conditions and if this had happened 3, 4, hours earlier flash freeze almost a guarantee. timing of this is a little bit suspicious. and while the co

look at hagerstown and martinsburg.here will be more rain coming in tonight but some warming, too, coming our way tonight. it's the areas north and west though that will see the least of the warming. here we go with some moderate rain coming through areas of eastern tennessee and eastern kentucky but look at the shades of red down to the south. atlanta, georgia right around eastern alabama. they're under a tornado watch until 5:00 p.m. central standard time. we're not going to get that kind of rain but it is going to turn wet in a hurry after midnight and 4:00 in the morning rush. so here is a piece of the one front. showers for us. more coming to us late. especially as the actual low pressure comes up. unfortunately, that is going to hit right around the time of the morning rush. it's going to be stormy. we're talking about some moderate, maybe even heavy rain. could get a little lightning for southern maryland, for areas of the northern neck. and then wind will come rushing in. our winds i think early in the day could
