and a wind gust of 22 in martinsburg. now, let's go to the computer for just a second, doppler for just a second. we'll track these little light showers over the past couple of hours. there's not much left of them. but you're trying to walk the dog around parts of the metro area that you might get a sprinkle around vienna. mcclain out here at 93. where are they going to go? just u drift out -- just drift out across northwest. so that's about it. they had dissipate pretty quickly. nothing is severe. let's go back to the computer. for tonight because of that, we're going to keep a chance of an evening shower in. temperatures in the 40s, even downtown. we're talking about the 40s tonight. we're looking at 48 downtown. 46 in college park. 46 in bowie. and mid-40s in fairfax and reston and sterling. so some of the furnaces will be kicking on, hopefully you have had them checked out. by morning, partly cloudy, windy, in the 40s. by the afternoon, partly cloudy, windy, cool. i mean, still a nice day. high temperatures, 65. and t

they're looking at calm winds right now. 61n frederick, 59 in martinsburg, west virginia. going to see cool air by the time you wake up. high pressureontinuing dominate the entire eastern half of the nation. clear skies from chicago right on down toward our region and highs today associated with the high pressure, we'reay up there, 90 in omaha, 78 i detroit, and 79 in raleigh. a nice warm air mass. so no matter what you're doing over the weekend, whetr it's traveling a couple of hours or maybe taking a plane ride out to the west, it's great. high pressure with plenty of sunshi tomorrow. continuing nice and warm right on through sunday and then we watch a little system on monday that may give you a slight chance of a shower, but that's really going to be about it. overnight tonight and into tomorrow morning, clear skies, seasonal temperatures. a great morning. that, of course, will be in the city. as we move out, a great day to get out and about. mostly sunny and nice and warm. just about perfect. winds in the west, 10 to 15 miles an hour. high temperatures close to 280-deg

, we've got temperares that are currently in the 50s throughout the area. 54 degrees right now, martinsburgn hagerstown. just up tohe north. folks around vienna now at 49 degrees. 47 down around waldorf, maryland. and then we've got 54 analysis, and shadyside and the bus stop, sunshine, clear skies, 48 to degrees. thenhroughout the day, again, as high pressure moves in, we're going to keep the sunshine here. matter of fact, i think we're going to see even the high clouds that we've got overhead, we're going to see those moving out. temperature will get up to 68 by noontime 74 by 3:00 today. finally firs time over 70 since saturday. so there's our little weather system that's plagued us for days. you can see what's left of the showers, some of them trying to eak out over the border of pennsylvania, but try for us. there's a cold front back to the west in ohio. that's produced just a w high clouds. temperature 48 degrees in manassas. gaithersburg at 52, and we are looking at a warm-up. so nice conditions as we go from the 60s where we were yesterday, to the 70s, not just for today, but for th

winchester, martinsburg, hagerstown all up over 20 miles per hour with the gusts. temperature right now 55 degrees. it is cooling down. if we didn't have the wind speed overnight tonight, temperatures would easily fall right down into the 40s. i think lower 40s, maybe some upper 30s, put the wind will be blowing around tonight keeping things nice and mixed up. so we'll have a fairly uniform temperature profile. we'll be down to about 48 degrees here in town tonight and i think probably 45, 46 degrees for just about everybody out in the suburbs simply because again the wind will continue to be up just a little bit. tomorrow we stay gusty, winds 15 to 25 miles per hour. so it will be a little cool in the shade but should feel very comfortable out in the sunshine, high gets up to 65. we start off in the upper 40s. i think loads of sunshine, a great diesel sunshine at noon and just as sunny in the afternoon -- deal of sunshine at noon and just as sunny in the afternoon and high temperature tomorrow gets right up into the middle 60s, very nice all weekend long, mostly s

martinsburg 47, winchester 51 and culpeper still in the middle 40s.e know it's very, very chilly overnight. you may be thinking do i need to turn on a little bit of heat? it will be cool certainly by tomorrow morning. we'll have cool days and the nights ahead chilly as well. the best chance for showers will be coming up on wednesday. i'm sorry, i put thursday here, but it should be wednesday, my bad there. just so you know. we actually started to dry things out for thursday and the weekend right now, i know it's only monday, but it gives us something to look forward to, right? it's actually looking pretty nice, dry with temperatures in the 70s. next few days we stay well below normal, 64 tomorrow, a little cooler wednesday. that's the best chance for some more widespread showers around here. a little warmer for thursday, but still below normal, 68 degrees and by friday we're up where we should be into the lower 70s. so for tomorrow mostly cloudy. we'll certainly see more sunshine tomorrow than what we had today and just a chance of a shower and it loo

not bad but moderate. 91 martinsburg, 89 baltimore. 90 dc. in 1919 that's the latest 90 we have had. but in 2001 they only started in the early 60s. that's going to be crushed today. we're likely to look at that followed by five to six to eight degrees perhaps. condition rule out a stray shower after midnight. low 58 -- 50s to low 60s. tomorrow not as warm. could be an isolated shower as the front comes through. 75 to 80 and winds northwest at five to ten and that will put an end to these warm temperatures. in fact this morning it is 66 from lou anne in annapolis. 67 down at the naval air station. fredericksburg is 82. an that's cooler than winchester. petersburg 5 t. oakland has you beat by a couple of degrees. 63 leesburg and 55 gaithersburg. national airport right now. a relatively balmy 64. dew points in the upper 50s with the winds south at six and the barometer is 29.81. but we are looking for another nice day. our next weather maker, if you will, this guy is spinning in the middle of the country. low pressure spinning here in nebraska.

we're going to see a nice warm-up. 66 right now in frederick, 70 in martinsburg, west virginia. mostly cloudy skies today, sunshine, back to the west we are dealing with cloud cover here and some will try to stream over the region tonight and early tomorrow. so i think tomorrow we'll see a mixture of sun and clouds. most clouds of the high cloud variety but all air coming from the southwest right now. very cool to the north and east. 43 tay the high in caribo maine. but memphis, 83. we were at 70 and we're going to see numbers push into the mid to upper 70s during the day tomorrownd maybe close to 80 by the time this warm period starts to come to an end. high pressure to the south helping withouthwesterly winds, bringing in that very warmair. we will continue to see temperatures rise tomorrow into the mid 70s and as that high stays just down to our south, we'll continue to see that southwest wind pulling up. as it does so, it's also going to bring in moisture. by monday afternoon, we'll see a pret good chance of showers and maybe some thunderstorms,as well. it's not going to be

gusting to 22 now at andrews, gusting to 18 in leesburg and 22 miles per hour wind gusts up in martinsburg. generally with the arrows out of the northwest. remember, the wind direction is the direction of the origin. not the direction of the winds that is blowing. satellite picture radar combined. the big storm that will just hammer new jersey, new york, heart r ford, providence, boston, over the next 24 hours. the heavy rain is gone. we'll show you the live doppler. bad news, a couple of showers are hanging on here. we'll go up to 270 to frederick, over towards these counties. you'll see just a couple of showers, over to this side. you'll essentially move down to 270 to the south and the east. in fact, the next hour, you're going to push very quickly to the south and the east. and nothing heavy. nothing severe. but don't be surprised if you see a shower in clarksburg over the next hour, gaithersburg. and even down to rockville, even down towards the split within the next hour. >>> all right, back to the computer. for tonight though, we'll see the clouds windy and chilly, evening shower po

martinsburg northwest at 18. fredericksburg still gusting to 24. so that will be probably the worst part of the day. 63 in town. upper 50 fund-raise hagerstown, winchester 58. luray is 60. 61 in petersburg, west virginia. grant county good morning to you. pax river 66 and cambridge 72. they had good ten or 11 inches of rain at pax river. dew point in the 50s. the wind sustained at 19. that's a good breeze this morning as a deep storm continues to pull away. one more look, a little wider now and notice to the west all is nice and quiet. showers in southern virginia will follow, but we can't rule out rain for a while longer but at least we are saying good-bye to the low pressure. at least for now. the problem we will have as we go through the weekend is upper- level winds get in to what we call a trough and that will be with us. and while that storm pulls away, i want you to watch what is coming out of detroit. as a second piece of energy drops in the northwesterly flow. going up to pennsylvania on saturday, could be showers north central and western

our temperatures will be about 10 to 15 degrees cooler than they were yesterday. 52 for you in martinsburg. 61 in quantico. 62 in fredericksburg. to the east we go, annapolis is 60. in leonardtown, 57 degrees. going to be a beautiful day. should be a lot of sunshine. our frontal system has sagged at least temporarily to the south. can you see the rain showers down into the carolinas. that is good news. it is out of here. out to the west, we've got a cold front. what is going to happen here, it will develop an area of low pressure along the mid-atlantic as we get into the overnight hours tonight and during the day tomorrow. bottom line for us, we'll have a good soaking rain around here for our thursday and real cool temperatures with highs only in the low to mid-60s. much cooler air on the way. kind of see the first zones of organization here with that system out to the west t doesn't really get going until tomorrow afternoon as that area of storminess will become what we call a nor'easter. we are calling this a heat buster because we'll get rid of the 80s today. a frontal system coming in

still in the 50s in hagerstown and martinsburg and mid to upper 60s to tappahannock and richmond and neck. a chilly day ahead. clouds thickening, stray shower is possible. in the low 60s. >> i'm ready for a terrific tuesday. let's do it. dealing with early morning construction on 270 at 124 southbound. that's where you want to watch for it. northbound watch for it at falls. if you are traveling the dulles toll road you can't get on 66 to go eastbound because construction follows the detour. both loops are clear from 95 to 66 continuing to the american legion. back to you. >> a bill before the dc city council later today is stirring controversy. the wildlife protection act is aimed at ensuring wildlife trappers who remove critters from area homes folsom basic guidelines. one clause in the proposal is getting the bulk of the attention. >> reporter: if the wildlife protection act becomes law, a wildlife removal business in dc would have to make every effort to keep an invading family of raccoons like this one together. >> for a listening time, dc has been unregulated and this is the wil
