let's get it started with a look at the michael and son weather cam and start off with a look at the reagandegrees and we have just a few clouds out there and calm winds. the dew point 25. so just a little bit of moisture in the atmosphere. we saw all those clouds today and the east wind from the ocean brought in that cloud cover. we're going to see mostly cloudy skies again on sunday and another day with chillier than average temperatures, but it will be milder than it was today. today our high temperature was 39. we're going to do better than that tomorrow. light winds continuing in our forecast as well. the workweek is going to start out dry. there's a slight chance for some precipitation later on and temperatures are going to remain below average as we start the workweek as well. so not a whole lot of change over the next 48 hours in our forecast. look at this. it's already down to 25 in frederic, but still 29 in fredericksburg. 25 in culpeper. so lots of yores are dipping into the 20s again tonight. but it won't get quite as cold because of this cloud cover that is drifting through and

michael & sons cam, looking at national harbor. lot of folks did get out and enjoy time by the water. currently on the mild side, sitting in the upper 40s at reagan national. the clouds are here and will continue to fill in toward the overnight hours. the moisture i'm tracking is way down to the south. it's going to take a while for it to get here. while you're sleeping, the rain arrives. we're clear in the metro, at least for right now. tonight's forecast will feature an increase in the cloud cover. then we will bring in southwest winds, pumping up the moisture and giving us the opportunity for rain. here's the timetable as i e se it. overnight, into the early morning hours, we can see heavy and steady rain beginning to fall. yellow alert for tomorrow, most definitely. you'll probably want to stay inside, limit your outdoor activities. then by the time we get to monday, we have a little bit of cloud clearing, some sunshine, a few flurries and much colder and more blustery. then we really cool it down by the time we get to tuesday. wednesday and thursday looks more like our seasonal temperatures. russ? >> olga, thank you. >>> >>> well, we've come
