meteorologist howard bernstein is live on the weather terrace with our forecast. even when we see the fog like that, we can't complain, it's still so beautiful. >> it's really cool looking and a great time of year to be at the tidal basin. we have low clouds and fog in northwest. even spotty drizzle so very damp. kind of a little frizz alert for you if this is going to affect your hairstyle today. keep that in mind. we have temperatures by noon in the upper 60s. low clouds and fog will be with us for several hours but sun returns this afternoon. 5:00 72. stray shower. that's it. maybe 10%, 20%. visibilities down to a quarter mile in leesburg. three-quarters gaithersburg. half-mile andrews and strapford. a lot of dense fog out there and a dense fog advisory is in effect east of the blue ridge till 10:00 a.m. near baltimore not under the advisory but watch out in howard and anne arundel counties and carroll for patchy dense fog. fredricksburg is 62. >>> monika santami is inside. she's got time saver traffic. >> definitely the hot spot is going to be college park rig

howard bernstein has your weather first. >>> we have a clipper system coming across the region. clippers move fast. they don't have a lot of moisture to work with and it is march after all. road surfaces warm so we're not expecting much in the way of problems, just conversational snow. but there will be some areas well south of d.c. towards culpeper, charlottesville that do get minor buildup on the grassy surfaces. that's something we'll watch but this is going to be a memory quickly as a warming trend is on the way after today. here's a look at our day planner. we're already in the 20s and low 30s. only 40 by noon. the permeds of flurries and -- periods of flurries and light snow especially south of d.c. the high for today around 44 degrees. we have partly cloudy skies and 32. the clipper system we're watching is coming across southern west virginia now, just into southwestern virginia. see this right here? this is going to swing to our south. the air around here is a little bit of dry. even though the radars may have snow on top of us, i think a lot of it is going to be evapor

howard bernstein alongside.e dropped a few more degrees and started at 62 and down at 57. >> probably drop a few more and struggle today to get back to 645 and 64. a lot cooler than yesterday. one thing we really need. we need some rain. we're about 2-inches below average for the month and getting a little dry out there. been a very warm month as you know ask now that things are growing they require some water and we also would like a little rain to maybe clear the air out a little bit because the tree pollen is way out there. i know the numbers may seem like a lot lower on the weeds. or the grass for example. 3.83. but relative to grass that's moderate. so everything is relative to itself here and the weeds and the mold are on the low side. but yeah the allergens are starting to kick in. thank you to sue and her team over at the u.s. army allergen extract lab. cool and clear to start. almost 7:30 on the sunset. lots of sunshine today. breezy too. northwest winds at 20 gusting to 30 at 11:00. with temperatures d

meteorologist howard bernstein is keeping a close eye on the storms. howard, what's going on right now? >> things are just getting started. we already have reports of homes destroyed in that area, north of huntsville, northern alabama, not far from newmark, alabama if you know that area at all. the brighter orange, red area, that's a high risk of severe weather. these areas are issued by the storm prediction center out of oklahoma. the atmosphere is juiced to be explosive today and cause a lot of damage and potentially some deaths as well because we're talking about tornadoes, long lasting tornadoes, fast moving tornadoes, large hail also and damaging wind gusts. this moderate area goes down toward alabama and mississippi. the highest area ohio to northern tennessee, much of central kentucky and southern indiana. there's a lot going on. locally we've got some rain in west virginia. this is going to increase our clouds and bring us some showers and storms here after the 3:00 hour. but we've got two tornado watches. one down in tennessee and northern alab

meteorologist howard bernstein is out there. a really beautiful day today, howard. >> we've already got 70-degree readings southwest of town. we're not that far behind right now. a beautiful taste of spring here on the first of march. let's just talk about this winter and one of the reasons why those blooms are going to come up so early. i gathered some statistics for you. i want to go to the weather graphics. 18 of the 29 days in february we hit 50 degrees or more. so that's really warm. in fact, when you look at the numbers, this was one of the warmest februaries we've had. in fact, it was the fourth warmest february. if you go back to december, january, what we call meteorological winter, it was the third warmest. i'm a snow lover. this has been depressing. only two inches the whole winter. i know some of you out there are saying this has been a great winter. i appreciate that perspective as well. today we're looking at plenty of sunshine, brirve westerly -- brisk westerly winds but see the clouds here? making a big difference

howard bernstein is the man with the plan for your weekend. >> umbrellas only saturday morning. saturday afternoon we'll be done with t. sunday looks dry but cold. maybe a flurry then. but a quick hello to a fifth grade class. they are doing a lot of reading. great job. not just their class but the whole school. a really good school. >> you could have worn a cat in the hat hat. >> there's always next year. >> had grass pollen a few days ago. thankfully that's gone. if you're an ale ji sufferer, you know -- allergy sufferer, you know what i'm talking about. look at this. the mold spores up to 21,000. that's considered high. they really did like all that rain we had yesterday and the day before. here we go, the bus stop forecast on leap day is when we got the pouring rain. clear and cold this morning. 30s and 40s to start. sunrise 6:38. we will get into the afternoon dry and then -- well, we get into the afternoon dry. we're not going to finish the afternoon dry. becoming partly to mostly cloudy by noon. this afternoon the showers will be here. they could be here as early as 3:30,
