we've got 40 at quantico, 43 degrees at leonardtown. we've got 33 degrees at martinsburg, 39 at hagerstown and 43 at winchester. the ridge of high pressure is going to skirt its way out and open up the door for us to get that southerly air. tonight we'll see a gradual increase in that warmer air. fairly clear skies for tonight but still a little bit on the cold and chilly side. you're overnight lows, low 30s. i wouldn't be surprised if we saw some upper 20s to our far northwest. but generally we are talking low 30s across the board for just about everywhere. so as that jet stream moves to the north, this colder air finally will start to retreat. and we are going to get a really nice flow that's going to bring us into the 50s and 60s for daytime highs. so we're going to be at least some 10 to 20 degrees above the seasonal average once we get into the next couple of days. so i'm sure there's not going to be too many complaints about that. so we're talking temperatures about 57 degrees in dc and quantico. areas of southern maryland, they c

a lot of places are still close to 50 south and east like leonardtown, stevensville. fredericksburg at 49-degrees. this is quite a significant change from 24 hours ago. we're almost 18-degrees warmer at fredericksburg. 20-degrees warmer at culpeper and 9-degrees warmer here in d.c. with martinsburg coming in 23 grows warmer. why is it so much warmer tonight? we have a frontal boundary out to our west ahead of it, south winds are pumping in that milder air that helped do a lot of melting and reduce the snow mount from the weekend. that front, though, will be slowly moving through overnight. it could come through with a few showers. maybe even a little bit of wet snow south and east of d.c. early tomorrow morning, but not a lot. what you will be noticing tomorrow we're not going getting back into the 50s. with the front coming it's a cold shot. not too terribly cold at 9. but as the day goes on we don't really get up to 40-degrees. by tomorrow night we're watching temperatures drop back into the 20s, eventually heading to the teens. bottom line a dry day, a l coulder da

eventually making it to fredericksburg and leonardtown and the district. that will be the first heavy band across the area. as i show you the future cast, you can see the heaviest snow south of d.c. by 4:30 in the morning it is overhead. it will come down at approximately two or three inches an hour and will allow snow to pile up quickly. toould not be surprised wake up tomorrow morning and some areas have 14, 15, maybe inches of snow on the sundaybut it will exit morning. show you the winds. forecast wind gusts, upward of 35, 45, even 60 miles per hour ocean city. looking at the overnight, 5:00 tomorrow near 70-mile-per-hour wind gust in ocean city. .hat will be rough especially for extreme beach erosion. further west you go is not much of a problem. gustle-per-hour wind projected at 8:00 tomorrow. ocean city and the winds finally begin to ease as we through the daytime hours of saturday. take you out with a look at the forecast, snow totals. anywhere between 15 and 20 inches for part of southern maryland, prince george's county, district and alexandria.
