how about some of that weather through the day, kent island. i was having lunch with my mom sunday morning. this was blowing down there. gale force winds on the chess is a peefnlgt frostburg, no snow on the ground today but some sunshine out. a cool day and in the 40s. cool in the 40s. look what happens. the snow just melts off rapidly. that's what happens with the spring snow events, even out in the mountains. we're having rain showers north of harford county up in the areas north of cecil county. these showers not touching the ground. right now rain that's evaporating on its way down. temperatures, there's that cool hair out west, 45 in oakland but 55 at the beach. winds west 10 to 15 gusting higher. check our gusts, gusts 28 in york. 26 in winchester. there's that humidity level down very, very dry. even when you get are couple of rain showers, the radar is scanning. you can see the rain showers. you never feel them at ground level. right now you can see the more significant weather has been to our north. that same powerful storm system stil

westminster, bel air, rock hall, kent island, annapolis, all at 57 degrees.e 62 in columbia. and 62 as we mentioned, at bwi marshall. winds out of the west/snoargt west, going to continue to bring in cool air. so much so that we have freeze warnings in effect for the top tier of the state. that goes in effect until 3:00 in the morning. when the stun comes up, we start to get a bit of a warmup here. right now, we see some of the colder temperatures just to our north and west. we're in the 60s in atlanta. 50s in memphis. 70s down toward dallas. and we're going to stay pretty moderate for the next few days. there is a low-pressure system to our south that will be projecting clouds to our direction. it stays to the south. and it keeps all the rain to our south. if you're a fan of the masters golf tournament, they're going to be battling these rains for the next two days. until that system gets completely out of here. although it will be breezy, because of high pressure to our north. that low-pressure system to the south. pleasant conditions stay right with us. bl

kent island, and annapolis at 66. right now, the winds pretty much all over. the southerly flow. that will keep us into the mild air tomorrow. but a front will approach us tomorrow afternoon, tomorrow night. already pretty good shower activity developing. it's going to expand overnight and tomorrow. as the wind comes out of the gulf of mexico. a plume of moisture, expected to develop right along the ohio valley. it will be moving across our region. tomorrow, after 3:00, 4:00, into tomorrow night. in addition, low pressure developing over texas. going to head for the gulf coast, and head right up the east coast. that's going enhance rainfall across our region saturday night. and looks like most of sunday will be just cool and damp, as the front goes through. it sprawls out. and this is just the perfect scenario for exactly what we need. a drought-busting rain. at least the models are in pretty good agreement now. there's that low pressure with that warm air off the ocean. flowing into that cooler surface. a good chance we'll see some steady rain. probably a goo

right now, though, 82 degrees in annapolis. 82 in kent island.you go inland, we're talking upper 80s. winds have picked up out of the south. it's a very warm wind for us today. and you can see, we're one of the hot spots up and down the east coast. but temperatures do drop off pretty drastically on the other side of the front. and you can see, that's where the front is. and it's what is pumping up all of this heat. now, this is the same front that brought all of the tornadoes to the plains in the upper midwest of the weekend. but it's been a very strong, powerful storm. it has even produced snow behind it, in parts of minnesota. the thing is, though, the storm has already peaked out. it's weakening as it moves our way. and you can see, completely fizzling out. we do need the rain. but we barely each have a chance for a shower or thunderstorm as it passes through. so what we're looking at for us is temperatures starting to come down today. but still in the 70s tomorrow. then wednesday, a second front is going to pass by to our south. clouds with t

kent island dog a little dredging here. we went from calm to choppy askings p--- choppy as the north winds picked up. great afternoon for sailing with plenty of wind and sunshine. maryland's most powerful radar continuing to scan all clear. that's going to hold up right into the next several days. in fact, it's getting to the fact we can use rain, rain totals running several inches behind. there are burn concerns north of us. new jersey red flag warning, so very dry air but pleasantly warm and comfortable. i want to show you the high temperatures on the day. downtown flirting with 80, getting to 77. we hit 74 in annapolis. 75 in cambridge. more active weather south and us. the showers and storms overspreading west virginia, parts of virginia. shout is where we have a severe thunderstorm watch through coastal north carolina. so this is an hear we could see severe storms tonight. unless you're traveling well south you're looking good because most of this weather will remain confined south of us. you can see the stalled out fr

the same deal on kent island, a chop on the chesapeake today.aryland's most powerful radar remaining clear. should stay dry tonight and first half of tomorrow. past noon, in to the early afternoon, we think the chance for rain will be there. tonight, clear and cold with a frost. frost expected for most of the eastern shore here. care line county, queen ann, north in to cecil. harford, northern baltimore, frost including howard and a freeze warning for carol, and frederick county. here you are going to get a deep freeze that could kill outdoor plants and vegetation. bring in anything out there that's sensitive to the cold. we don't want to lose plants tonight. 60 airport. 56 hagerstown. the numbers will be dropping sharply the rest of the evening. winds northwest 15. gusting to 25, and 30 at the top of the hour. a breezy and cool friday night that will feel cooler than the temperatures would otherwise indicate. a clear evening here across the mid atlantic. look up and down the east coast. we have weather beginning to brew to the west of us now an

and kent island.inds out of the west sustained around 10 miles per hour, right around that for much of the area, at bwi marshall. a bit of a northwest wind toward easton. and a light breeze around much of the region, bringing in very dry air. hardly any clouds out there. much fewer cloud cover -- or much less cloud cover, i should say, than yesterday, around this time. so we have no real problems with the sun heating us up. nothing is blocking it out. with the wind chipping to the west and southwest, going to start tapping into warmer air that is going to be out ahead of a front. it's really not going to mean too much to us. we have warm air moving into the region that's going to be here. starting tomorrow, we'll be in the 70s. we'll be in the 80s next few days. close to 90 degrees. and we will have with that shift, warm air. dew points going up. moisture levels going up. so could be a chance of a shower tomorrow afternoon. and maybe another chance toward middle of the week. not a lot associated with

want to show you kent island first. it was a calm still morning and then the chop comes up. look at the water. the winds gust up to near 230. laurel a cloudy start. then the sun comes out late in the day at the high school annex. you can see the skies go from gray to plu. it was a day of improving weather. the leading edge of cooler air, so, again, this time of the year it take has while for the cold air to arrive. we'll feel it tonight and by tomorrow. maryland's radar all clear. pleasant about 15 degrees above average. humidity extremely dry. outdoor burning ill advised. we have a red flag warning from philly north, very dry conditions in maryland. frost conditions garrett. it will creep toward baltimore tomorrow night and severe thunderstorm potential in virginia. so active weather all around us but not so much in maryland. we've kind of got the luck of the dwraw quiet weather. to the west we have active weather break out not just across the tennessee valley but further west. the same system that gripped through texas, producing storms in northern alabama. the core of the

kent island, here's our view from the eastern shore over the mighty chesapeake and warts are calm, a bright sunny scenario. look how many people are actually laying out, just taking in fresh air and some sunshine. same deal further north in rehoboth beach. i'm telling you, it's going to be packed there soon. winds light. light winds and i think temperatures will drop off pretty sharply tonight but not the frost concerns of last night. temperatures mid-60s north of us. low 70s in frederick, d.c., with a little bit of a breeze off the chesapeake. to the west we have some active weather in southern west virginia. the big storms have been flaring much further south and west if you're watching any of the national news coverage that powerful storm impacting eastern texas. but across the east it's relatively quiet, mild air should push us into the low to mid-70s but increasing clouds will not allow for as much sunshine but, still, a relatively dry day tomorrow. as we look at the trend maybe a hit or miss shower at most. looks like the main rain will stay south of norfolk, virginia. into thu

ber lands. 61 dc. 55 now in westminster. 56 columbia. 59 rock hall. 61 both in annapolis and on kent islandwinds are calm around central maryland right now at the airport. a southerly flow around the rest of the state, especially to the south of the state. down towards dc. bringing in the warmer temperatures and we are going to go up nicely today to about 77 degrees. the front extends from the great lakes down in to the gulf. as it makes its way to the eastern sea board, we are expecting that an area of low pressure is going to develop down around the southern portion of this front, and ride it on up the coastline, it's going to take on form basically a nor'easter sitting along the coastline, kicking moisture back off the ocean and back in to the area, that's the reason for the higher amounts of rain we could have localized areas of 3 inches or so total before it's said and done. sunset is at 7:51, drought watch continues to track rainfall totals. rain moves in this evening, thunderstorms possible for tonight. nothing severe, don't be surprised if you hear the rumbles of thunder. 5 tonight,

baltimore, dc, easton, pax river, solomon's island and ocean city, columbia 72, 67 annapolis and kent islandck hall 66, bellaire and westminster both at 66. so again this action just kind of meanders down to the south, warm front cold front sits out to the west that is going to take us back to slightly above normal as we move toward oning opening day and we will have that. >>> today 75 is the high. 42 degrees tonight. normal is 39. tomorrow we will say 64 degrees, partly sunny, a tad bit breezy and really darn good weather coming up. a look at the five-day- forecast here shortly. >> baseball season will soon be here and we want to see your favorite memories. e-mail your memories to us at cbs.com. >> that will soon be part of a big slide show. >> yeah. >> -- still to come on wjz's eyewitness news at noon another reason to eat a second helping of vegetables, why researchers say they could keep you alive. say they could keep you alive. >> we are always,,,, [ male announcer ] eligible for medicare? that's a good thing, but it doesn't cover everything. only about 80% of your part b medical expens

crossing the 70 degree mark. 63 in annapolis and kent island. 63 in rock hall. it's a southerly flow around much of the state. a southeast wind around dc and southwest wind in hagerstown and that's bringing in the warmer air. calm winds at the airport but we are going to start to see a shift as marty described earlier a low pressure system that will continue to track to the east and drag a cold front that will start fouling in moist -- pulling in moisture from the south. it will take a while to get here and your early plans tomorrow will be okay. the earlier the better he. but by mid afternoon into the overnight hours all bets are off. thunderstorms around as this front makes its way in. the showers ahead of it and it lingers so into saturday and maybe even into sunday we will have showers around but the real headline is going to be the amount of rain the next headline is the cooler temperatures. we are going to drop. keep in mind we are at 90 earlier this week. we will be down in the upper 50s heading into next week. sunset at 7:50 with a south wind at 5 to 10

64 on the shore. 77 in d.c., and over in easton. 70s all around the immediate metro area. 74 in kent island and annapolis. 73 in bel air. southeast flow is bringing in still some warm air across bwi marshall. the winds are starting to shift, though, you can see a bit of a north and northwest flow, as that rain is starting to move on in. all of the winds are starting to pick up a little bit. 21-mile-per-hour winds from the south around d.c. and that's what we and expect to see as this front gets closer and starts to move toward the state. the winds are starting to pick up. it is this batch of moisture down around the gulf that is starting to ride around the coastline. it will combine with this front to the west. we'll have a combined bit of a sandwich here, as the rain starts to overrun the state. and this low is going to sit as pretty much an active nor'easter as it sits past the delmarva and up around the jersey shore. we're going to see winds pick up through tomorrow and monday as well. get the gusty. and on the back edge, cooler air moves on in. and as you see, we have a winter storm wat

low 60s elkton, easton, ocean city, mid-60s dc, pax river, navel air, essentially annapolis and kent island too, 59 bellaire, 57 westminster, 62 columbia, rock hall 61, so we have got this cool front, chillier settling into the mid-atlantic, you figure along the confluence of this there would be rain and showers. not necessarily. not like it was humid yesterday, mild, 74, but not humid. we did have rain earlier along what i would believe is the leading edge of this new air mass but it somewhat feels warmer. looking at there, that thing is going to spread down to the south. we are going to mention a chance of showers in the forecast this afternoon and tonight. then again tomorrow as cooler air continues to sift in over the region but i don't think it is enough rain to really stave off long-term at all these tinderbox dry conditions. forecast today we will call for a high of 68 and you know increasingly cloudy skies and i will start to mention that chance for passing afternoon or evening shower then partly cloudy, breezy overnight. temperatures mid-40s, tomorrow cloudy skies, noticeably coole

not a bad finish and how about another stop in kent island, the bay bridge marina. lot of people out and act. getting ready for the season. especially with the grab counts up in the bay. take a look at the radar picture. its clear. we expect that to hold tonight. tomorrow and probably the first part of your saturday. thing its change later in the day. temperatures comfortable. low 50s. most of the numbers across the area are showing basically no wind. no wind and the humidity creeping up. it's really a borderline fog situation by daybreak. we think potentially patchy, dense fog. 100% humidity in someplaces, potentially fog sloping at ground level if you an early morning driver, before sunrise in particular, watch out for patchy, dense fog. visibility reports right now we have ten miles unrestricted so no fog right now at the moment. it is a concern toward daybreak. otherwise a clear situation. smooth sailing in to the day. maybe some fog in the morning and then bright sunny skies, clear now, high pressure sitting over the east coast. really nice stuff. we have a fro

then in kent island the other received the chesapeake, watch this sunset over the bay bridge. man, that is fantastic. what a finish there. of course it's beautiful weather on this friday but a little cool and breezy. the radar remaining dry tonight. that will hold up through -- at least the first half to two thirds of the day tomorrow. it's tomorrow afternoon late afternoon into the evening when we think we could see rain. temperatures in 40s. winds from the northwest around five to ten. the skies are clear for several more hours and with this dry air we think temperatures will get down to freezing, especially northeast maryland. cecil and across through northern baltimore and then the darker shaded counties a i freeze warning for more of a hard freeze. carol, frederick. again one of those nights you need to protect anything you planted, hanging plants et cetera action wrap them up or bring them in. clear skies will let things drop temperature wise. in the morning early sun, clouds increasing through the day and as we look out to the west developing weather. now what we are se

man, it was a nice day, nice finish, kent island beautiful. and high thin clouds. bay water temperatures getting close to 60 now. it was sunny in ocean city all day. people out on the beach enjoying it. why not. and the water temp about 56. the cool breeze at the beach this time year but the air temperature is hitting the low 80s at the beaches today. maryland's most powerful radar crystal clear. not necessarily a great thing. we are now in a category severe drought on the eastern shore. so all the farmlands here in our eastern shore counties in a tough spot right now because, again, we have now been pushed into the severe drought category for central maryland, western maryland and we are in a drier than average pattern. we have not slipped at least not yet into severe drought. we will keep an eye on this. temperatures 86 baltimore 82 today. down at the beach, awesome weather. easton 82 and again very, very warm. unusual really but we will take it. lows temperatures tonight are still in the 70 degree range. 71 downtown. 76 in dc and very, very warm evening. 70 in c

annapolis and kent island that 43. winds are calm around central maryland and a bit of a white -- southwesterly flow. no advisories in affect for the day. that's an indication that wind is not a major part of the system. here we have a good bit of moisture to the north and northwest. swinging the leading edge of the system out our way, but the things out taz starts to make its way across the ohio valley. the low that is driving is around missouri. it will dive to the south. as it does, it pups a lot of moisture with it. our best chance of rain will be after 3:00 into the overnight hours. on and off showers, but no wash out. by tomorrow that moves out of here. high pressure moves back in. we start a run of temperatures from the 60s to the 80s by next week. this is how the shapes up. your sunrise at 6:11. north wind on the day at 5 to 10. today, 60 degrees. a touch of rain this afternoon. 58 is our official high. 48 and cloudy. tomorrow clouds give way to the sun. the mid-60s and then the run. 73 on tuesday. 80 on wednes

kent island, and rock hall at 53. 61, 51 today. 66, 44, the averages now in the records. look at that. 1896. 94 degrees. remember, monday was 91 here. yeah. 1875. way back in 1800s. 26 degrees on this morning. right now, the winds are extremely light. they have been generally to the north and northeast all day long. kept us in that nice, cool air. this rain system in the east, moving out late tonight. another developing over the great lakes. and out in the rockies. looks like it gives us another chance of picking up some more rain later in the weekend, probably saturday night, a shower or thundershower. a good chance on sunday. may even linger on monday. and that could be decent rain. as you can see, the rain kind of spread out from new york a little bit. down through pennsylvania, west virginia. we'll clear out by morning. a lot of sunshine. along with much warmer temperatures coming in tomorrow afternoon. then we'll watch over the weekend, that front approaching. hopefully low pressure will be able to develop and bring us a decent amount of rain, particularly on sunday

but with light winds, won't be so bad. 60 in annapolis and kent island. and also bel air. still 64 out in westminster and columbia. but now, a slight change in the wind direction, coming more out of the southwest. that is going to really bring in super warm air on sunday and monday. tomorrow, kind of in between. but it will be milder than we've seen. back up in the low 70s. and out to the west of us, showers and thunderstorms from the dakotas down into missouri. this particular area, north texas, eastern oklahoma. south kansas, and southwestern portions of iowa. right now, under the risk for very severe thunderstorm, hailstorms and tornadoes tomorrow and tomorrow night. they've already been warning these folks. this is very unusual situation. where very warm air is moving northward. a lot of humidity to the gulf of mexico. to the west, very strong colder jet stream aloft. a lot of spin in the atmosphere. that's why. this particular area in the great plains could see a real big outbreak of severe weather tomorrow afternoon, into late saturday night. they have been warning t

rather humid air mass. 56 westminster. 55 annapolis and kent island.k hall, and a nice 52. very light winds. certainly not a major factor. but they brought in this cool air from the north. moisture coming from the south. kind of an overrunning situation. they have cool air at the surface and warm air coming overhead. and we have a nice little batch of light rain in the region. didn't even expect it to get this far to the north. by the way, the next system developing across minnesota. this front is going to be, we think, in our region, sometime saturday and sunday. but it looks like it's going to slow down or stall. and that is good for us. because what we expect to happen for us is area of low pressure expected somewhere in the south could give us a pretty good dose of rain later in the weekend into later next week. right now, watching the rain move through the area. mostly to the south of us. but it continues to roll through the area. to the north, it's partly cloudy. mostly cloudy skies. still some rains down here in virginia, west virginia. we'll ha

round the immediate metro area, temperatures ranging around 45 degrees. 48 in a nablus and 48 on kent island. when zarqawi crossed the top tier of the state. don't expect to see much by way of breeze. a bit of a breeze tomorrow as this front is moving in from the northwest area it clears the area of moves out in high-pressure. we will have a clear day going into tuesday and then we have another rain maker. a bit of that disturbance well back toward the dakotas. kind of following the same pattern coming in from the northwest. that will be our next disturbance. for right now, a few clouds over the area. no rain forming anywhere around. the high-pressure stays with us and the front moves through. high pressure builds back in and tuesday a gorgeous eight, temperatures in the 70s. if you had that day off or on getting a good start for spring planting, that's a good day to get it done. small craft advisory will be lifted. we do have the advisory going in and out and back and forth for the next few days because of the different disturbances coming through. today is 64. some sunshine giving way to c

we're on kent island in kept county.e can see a very large dark column here all the way from the anne arundel county area, by anne arundel county. we came down to the scene and found -- a fairly large grass fire burning some new and old growth, right here the -- water way that goes up into the area. now there are no fire officials on the scene, it looks like the property owner is in the area. we're not aware that it is causing any problems to any nearby buildings at this point because it is burning towards the water. these things are fairly regular on the eastern shore. but at this point it is not clear whether it is a controlled burn or an incidental fire. we'll monitor the station and keep you posted. >> all right captain mike thank you. >>> and new details coming out today about a deadly shooting at a christian university in california. police say the accused gunman is a former nursing student angry at being taken out of the school. more from oakland. >> reporter: police use a robot with sonar to find the gun used in

that jumped temperatures up, 65 in d.c. 63 over on kent island.rly-- southerly winds in the region. late tonight, the wind goes to the west/northwest. dryer, breezy, much dryer than today. dew points tomorrow will be in the 40s. tomorrow, they were, you know, in the 50s. much, much more humidity today than we will see tomorrow. >>> low pressure across virginia this morning. moved south of the region. took most of the rain with it. we're just on the northern edge of it, as you can see. that's rolling through the carolinas right now. moving offshore and weakening. but this front to the west, you can see it lined up there. from new york state. down through central pa now. getting closer. probably crossing the baltimore d.c. area. around 9:00 and 11:00 tonight, with a shower or two. and behind it, quick clearing. sunshine. breezy. nice day tomorrow. but it will feel cooler. temperaturetemperature-wise, won't be a whole lot cooler until tomorrow night. clouds come back saturday afternoon and saturday night. looks like a period of showers again into ear

and over on kent island as well. 63, bel air. west/northwest wind. nice breeze today. blew all of the pollen around. 14 here. 9, ocean city. and 12 up in oakland. still a little snow left in oakland. at least some of the piles that were created by the snow there two days ago. to the west, shower activity. and some thundershowers breaking out. essentially, we've got a warm front developing here. temperatures in the plains today, in the southern plains, texas. wink, texas. wink. was 102 degrees. very warm air. moving over top of this colder air. creating shower and thundershower activity. that warm air is forced upwards. cools and creates clouds. we have shower activity developing to the southwest of us. eventually, getting to -- it's going to start spreading in our area. probably 3:00, 4:00 in the morning. so during your drive tomorrow, it is a good chance that will be damp, raining activity. and in the after, should get into slightly warmer, a little more unstable conditions may create a thundershower or two in the afternoon. there's the warm air. briefly as we get int

and 55 on kent island. 58 in rock hall this evening. we'll have a uniform shift in the wind.of these directions are coming in from all over the place. you see a bit of a southwest wind, down toward patuxent river. northeast wind, down around d.c. we'll have more or less a uniform shift to the north and northwest. that will bring in cooler temperatures tonight. we'll have a freeze warning straight across the top of the state. out toward allegheny county. gar county will have a freeze watch from 3:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. sun will come up and we'll start to see a bit of a warmup and winds will kick up. these to the south. the high responsible for this as we've shown you is up to our north. it's in canada actually. it's going to allow for breezy conditions to stay with us through the day tomorrow. temperatures stay right on par for normal highs. as we get into tomorrow evening. temperatures level out. and conditions stay with us right on through the entire weekend. next real chance of rain does not come after sunday. all of your weekend plans really look to be pretty safe. small cra

currently, 70 in bel air. 67, afapolis and want-- annapolis, ask kent island by the bay. southeast wind now. tomorrow winds will shift more to the south/southwest. that will get us into a little warmer air. and also may start to bring in additional humidity or moisture. a front to the west. this is a chance, at least saturday afternoon, as that front approaches, it will bring up some of this moisture in the gulf of mexico. we do expect to see some shower and thundershowers, beginning to develop. tomorrow afternoon and tomorrow night. across the ohio valley. that will move into our region late saturday afternoon, saturday night. so chance of shower and thundershower activity. now, that same front, hopefully will slow down because we need the rain. and kind of get hung up along the coast. if that happens, the correct scenario for us to get rain is low pressure developing right across the south and moving toward our region. now, at least one of the models has it somewhat close to us. but not a lot of rain with it. another has it offshore with no rain at all, except the showe

they were in the 80s earlier. 70, kent island. and rock hall.ay at 79 degrees. look at the other temperatures. boston, still at 80. they were in the upper 80s with the boston marathon today. that must have been rough. just west of boston, in westfield, mass. it was 93. that was the nation's high this afternoon. albany, syracuse, still 88 degrees. philadelphia, 87. west of us, beginning to cool down. and look at this. surrounded by the cold atlantic ocean. nantucket, a chilly 54 degrees. 90, 56 today. average is 65. 43. and the record today, and back in 2002, 90 degrees. 30, the record low, 1962. southerly winds. and still kind of strong and breezy again tomorrow. but they will be shifting. this front to the west of us. this is the same front that caused all of the tornadoes. but this afternoon, only activity is on the gulf coast. and our part of the world, just about nothing left except a few clouds. that's wawe'll see late tonight. along with a wind shift, it the begin to cool down tomorrow. even more wednesday. but wednesday, some of that sout

we have temperatures a little higher. 68 in annapolis. 68 on kent island. and 68 in columbia.inds have been in the double digits all day long. 14-mile-per-hour winds, not gusting too high. they have been pretty sustained in the double digits. but 13- to 14-mile-per-hour winds, pretty much the order. winds could go up definitely, if we start to get thunderstorms rumbling across the area late tonight and tomorrow. all because of several disturbances we talked about. we have a low-pressure system moving past the carolinas and offshore. but follow this line of clouds. right on from california, right on over. this is the jet stream. and it is this line that all the disturbances are going to follow over the next few days. we'll get a bit of a lift in the jet stream, but every disturbance you see here is going to follow that pattern, which means we have a few off and on days of rain and some showers. the first one comes later tonight. we've already seen the clearing. today it's been very nice. sunshine and blue skies. the rain comes tonight and into tomorrow. and then we start to get

50 haggerstown and ocean city, 54 dc, easton and pax river, 48 degrees elkton, 50 annapolis and kent island, 52 rock halt, clonal by, a 47 westminster, bellaire generally speaking around 50 so a couple of showers will try to mag right into the area, there is a cool flow, you can almost see the confluence of two air masses here that is really going to define our weather over the next few days. i would love to tell you there is enough shower activity to calm these red flag conditions but i don't think that is the case, we will continue to have to watch for the potential of fires there is kind kicking up but we will go below normal for the next couple of days. much of the same tomorrow a high of 58. 56 on wednesday. barely 60 on thursday. when was the last time we had three days below normal? seems like forever. maybe back in -- i am thinking mid-march. 65 on friday with sun, saturday partly sunny back to near 70. don't take it away. >> thank you very much. there is a red flag on the rush too, the west side of the beltway, here is christie with wjz traffic control. >> hi don, still a mess. we

we have 61 degrees. 56 on kent island. 57 in annapolis. 57 in bel air. westminster as well. we have a wind coming from the west/northwest. that's going to usher in cold weather overnight. we're talking from harford cowbthy on over toward allegheny. garrett county has a freeze watch in effect. the rest of the area, from the metro area, down toward the eastern shore, southern maryland, not impacted by that at all. at least not this time around. colder air is definitely up to our north. around detroit, into chicago. temperatures in our 40s. not quite a 20-degree differential. and it is courtesy of high pressure in canada that is bringing in that dry air. that is helping us stay dry. because of the storm system. parts of texas, of course, still see something storm behind tornadic activity that came through yesterday. and into tuesday. or tuesday into yesterday, i should say, kind of reverse that a little bit. but all of that activity staying to the south. we're getting clouds out of it. but that dryer air coming from the north. while it is cooling us down, it is keeping those sh

why we do expect to see more scattered frost north and west of the city tonight. 60 annapolis, kent island58 over in columbia. right now, the wins are really beginning to drop off. and late tonight, when the winds go calm. clear skies and that low dew point, temperatures are going to tumble here. frost advisory tonight. and freeze warnings, further north and west. we could get down easily to 31 or 32 degrees in the morning. so if you had any tend are -- tender plants or flowers that you put out ahead of time, bring them in or cover them up tonight. you might have frozen flowers tomorrow morning. east of us this afternoon, still cloudy and still breezy. a bit of a breeze, but it's beginning to die down. high pressure is over the region. it will be over us tonight and tomorrow. but eventually, the same high. this could mean the cool temps will move offshore. and the wins go back to the west/southwest. and that's where the warm air is building. very warm air in texas, oklahoma. going to get some big storms out there. for us, the warm air moves in a little tomorrow. more on saturday. and full

that's tomorrow morning. 58 in annapolis. 58 in kent island now. but later tonight, temperatures will din to fall as the winds begin to die down. right now, 15, 13 as you can see. a lot of radiational cooling. any heat that accumulates today along the ground, would quickly radiate. winds die down with clear skies. low dew points, it can get quite chilly overnight. we had these clouds yesterday. and light sprinkle activity. and even snow flakes and a little sleet. to the west of us, a lot of sunshine in milder temps. that's heading our way, beginning tomorrow. and believe it or not, back here, there's very warm air buildings to the southwest. we will probably break the low to mid80 the by next week. i know it seems impossible because we're talking maybe scattered frost tonight. this afternoon rvelt still some shower -- afternoon, still scattered shower activity. mind winds become west/southwest. and here comes a big warmup. warmer tomorrow. warmer saturday, even warmer on sunday, monday, tuesday. back in summer kind of temperatures. northwest winds

dc and annapolis and kent island 45, low pressure up to the northeast moving offshore.igh pressure diving to fill in that gap as that high moves offshore, a huge warm front sets up. not only over the mid-atlantic but almost the entire east especially earn half of the united states. wait until you see these weekend numbers, 60 degrees the high, mostly sunny, breezy, diminish the breeze tonight, clear, 37, tomorrow take it up to 65, maybe even closer to 70. some of these numbers may be too low, particularly this weekend, 72 could easily be 75 on saturday, 83 on sunday. might be close to 85. the mid-80s on monday. even take temperatures down on tuesday but only to 80 degrees. don, take it away. >> thank you very much, what awaits you on the way to work and/or school? here is sharon at wjz traffic control. >> i wish the morning commute was looking as good as the forecast, unfortunately it is not. we have a bunch of problems, 100 westbound at 29 there is an accident there. we have that accident also we have been telling about on the east side of the beltway on the inner loop

on kent island as well. we have 66 in westminster. 69 in columbia.tioned, down in d.c. winds are coming with an easterly component. 6-mile-per-hour winds from the east at bwi marshall. winds coming in off the ocean are bringing cooler air to the city. they have been reporting temperatures cooler than everyone else in the state. northeast winds, around d.c. and down around easton as well. so the temperatures are going to level out today in the low 70s. upper 60s to low 70s as a result. this is what we're watching now. the rain that mary just talked about that has moved now offshore. still down around the carolinas. but they are off to the south. so high pressure dominating the forecast for for the next day or so. into today and early saturday. this system is moving across the great plains. starting to make its way across the region. clouds will start to increase saturday. and early plans on saturday should be okay. but the later you get into the day saturday, the better chances you have for rain to kind of start to take over the day. these showers are

and 60 then in annapolis and kent island. the winds still a factor. 10 to 15 to 20 miles an hour.minishing tonight. and as the heat dies down, any heat that is accumulated, lower levels will be quickly reradiated. that's why our temperatures will be chilly tonight. warm front developing. with warm temps here. running into this cooler, dryer air mass. showers breaking out near st. louis. some of those clouds start moving in tomorrow afternoon. i think by late tomorrow afternoon or tomorrow evening, we'll start to see some rain in the evening. don't expect to see a whole lot. but looks like it will be damp at least. until sunday afternoon, that will get off the coast. sunshine returns, temperatures back in the low to mid-60s, i think, by sunday. and a warmup for next week. north winds on the bay. 5 to 10 knots. the bay temp around 57 degrees. tonight, it will be cold. 30 to 40-something. and in the city, an average of 35. frost and freeze conditions possible. north and west of the city. cloudy by the afternoon. a little rain late in the day. tomorrow's high, mid- to upper 40 50s. a

and 63 on kent island and rock hall.inds coming from the southwest now, still bringing in that warmer air flow. but we are going to see more rain, potentially spotty showers as the front continues to push through the region late tonight. right now, clouds are locking in our very moist air. and the warmer air in place. but the bigger picture shows as the warm front leads the way, a cold front comes behind it. the cold front is going to shift our winds. winds will start coming from the northwest. skies will clear. winds come from the northwest, which is a colder direction. and then we'll start to see colder conditions in place. so much so that with this much cooler air coming down from the northwest, we're going to have a freeze warning in effect for the western edge of allegheny and garrett county. from 2:00 tomorrow morning, until 9:00 a.m. because the colder air in place. cooler air, though, does mean that we will clear out for friday. and it's going to be a pretty nice day on friday. although temperatures only getting

locally, temperatures very warm this time of year, this time of day. 81 in annapolis and kent island. 80, rock hall. away from the bay and away from that cooler influence. temperatures still in the mid- to upper 80s this afternoon. even up in new england. albany, 89. syracuse, 89. stranton, pa, 86. as you head west, a few clouds and cooler air. winds offer the lake at 73. but mount washington, hampshire, 78 degrees. that's almost the record high temperature. and it's only april. that's pretty amazing. they usually have very cold winter temperatures this time of year. but 70 up there is really amazing. 82 in boston. they're in the 80s and mid-80s this afternoon for the boston marathon. just west of that area, you got to 93 for the nation's high this afternoon in massachusetts, while nantucket surrounded by the cold water there, only at 57 degrees. southerly winds now in the area. eventually late tonight, tomorrow, they're going to turn more to the west/northwest. that will begin to bring in cooler air tomorrow. here's the front out to the west. a little snow in northern minnesota, beli

and 59dc and mid-50s over on kent island. 54 on tv hill. 80% humidity. barely a breeze. the barometer is at 29.80. this warm front is trying to press up over the region. it is giving us clouds and showers, and the bigger story is this cold front, cutting through at the beginning of the weekend and slow up, over the coast, and that is essentially going to total out, saturday, and even potentially sunday. and 68 today. a couple of showers cleared out and 45 overnight. and tomorrow it is going to be a beautiful day. 64 degrees the high. a look at the weekend. saturday, looking great. almost like last sunday. gray, damp, windy and chilly, 58. and 10, 11 degrees below normal. and slow clearing if any sunday, and 62. and by monday and tuesday and sunshine and temperatures back in the mid-60s. take it away. >> the rush right now from sharon at wjz traffic control. >> good morning, everyone. with the rain, we are looking at several problems out there. first of all, we still have a disabled vehicle, 95 southbound at the fort mchenry toll plaza blocking one lane. and also a few ac
