wet weather tonight, fairly widespread, mainly earlier right near the mason dixon line now pushing itsough down to the southeast and that's going to continue over the course of the next few hours or so. we'll look at radar to be a little closer look of our neighborhoods. we have this frontal system and the rain very light in nature, little heavier pockets of rainfall just west of the i-81 corridor. otherwise this is all very light and it will continue through. so we're not talking much accumulation at all. it will sort of start to wane off more getting closer to dawn. some of it will linger longer, some of it won't. let's go back to our weather maps, then. we aren't dealing with a lot in terms of this rain but just enough to help the grass and trophies out there. what we're talking about as -- the trees out there. what we're talking about as we move through tomorrow, a ridge of high pressure builds in behind the rain. that will set us up for sunshine monday. winds will be gusty as the ridge builds in and the low pushes its way out. between the two that will cost the winds to gust to ma

so areas next to the mason- dixon line could be affected by that that.et them up for a chance of some showers as we head through into the weekend. yesterday's high, 66 at national and dulles, 62 degrees at bwi and that ridge of high pressure is going to open the door up for some warmer air to slide in on the back side. look at saturday and sunday. 74 on saturday. we jump i'm good nine to 10 degrees on sunday as we head to 83 degrees. an unbelievable difference here. it gets warmer as we head flu into monday. we are headed for a high on monday of 85 degrees. not bad. let's check in now with julie wright to see how she is doing on the roads. >> it is not too bad right now. the crew in sky fox is joining us this morning checking out the drive northbound along i- 95. as you guys work your way northbound leaving newington, you will find your lanes are open as you continue north of 7100 making your way out past the fsp and headed back up to the capital beltway. nothing too out of the ordinary. definitely finding traffic is backed up as you work your way past t

it was coming from a line that was much more intense up through the mason dixon line. lightning embedded with that. it is weakening out quite a bit now. as we go through the overnight hours, skies will clear and friday is sunny. grab the sunglasses. it will be breezy and also cooler. i'm thinking we're probably only getting into the low 60s, probably around where we are now, still on the mild side because the warm front is still lurking around. 65 degrees at quantity coy, 60 quo annapolis and up to our north and -- 62 annapolis and up to our north and west we find temperatures in the 50s. you'll notice the winds gusting as the front moves through like to our north and west now. martinsburg has winds gusting to 36, cumberland to 30, hagerstown to 25 and everybody's winds will pick up a little as the front moves through in the overnight hours. do expect we will see that with the frontal system producing the showers swinging on through, maybe an isolated rumble of thunder, but i think that will be the exception and not the rule. that brings in our sunshine, our cooler day

certainly widespread through pennsylvania and along the mason dixon line and along either side of interstates potentially could drop from 28 to 32, but with the wind maybe we could keep them above freezing if that wind does develop. it will develop tomorrow, though. what we have tonight is clearing skies. you can see the cloud deck and a frontal system slow to move out down to our south. still some fairly thick clouds down through central virginia. you may have heard about this. they were worried at the masters. i understand we didn't get a rain-out but we've had this same area of low pressure that produced tornadoes in dallas two days ago moving slowly across the southeast. it may affect play tomorrow morning at august arc but it will then swing out -- augusta, but it will then swing out into the atlantic. for us we'll be well away from that area of low pressure. it's a breezy cool friday for us, lots of sunshine, cooler air mass building in from the north. it's going to take that frontal system and the moisture and push it down to the south. high pressure will build in during the day tomor

distinct, hogan gidley joining us north of the mason dixon line. yesterday, you said governor romney has called rick and asked for a meeting to discuss an endorsement, but we will see how that goes in the next couple days. what does that mean we will see how that goes? >> i was just talking about the schedule. i'm sure they'll get together soon and have a good conversation. rick and mitt have been through this slog for a long time. a lot of good conversations backstage and at the end of the day, this is all about beating barack obama. they know that. that's what rick was doing the whole time. you know, these are how the party fights play out. they get after each other pretty good, then someone gets the nomination and then you line up and try to accomplish the ultimate goal. >> but if there are no sticking points, why not an endorsement yesterday? >> i mean they want to talk things out, of course. there are some things i'm sure rick will want to have a discussion with mitt about as it relates to the platform moving forward. i think the conservative
