mr. bernstein, 70s again? >> yes, much of the week in the 70s above average.hat's one of the reasons the blossoms are so early. a good week and a half, maybe two above average. if you've never been down there

mrs. bernstein is running in the half marathon. we'll be down cheering her on.eather wise you'll be cheering as temperatures climb into the 60s, even around 70 for your thursday. kind of chilly right now. 30s with windchills as well this morning to about 40 or so here in washington. these skies are mostly sunny and the sunrise happened about 15 minutes ago. for today, though, a good sunny day. partly to mostly sunny. high clouds passing at times. temperatures climbing from the low 40s at 8:00 to upper 50s by noon. it will be breezy most of the day, too. we could have gusts 20, 25 miles an hour with a 4:00 p.m. temperature about 63. that high around 65. then back in the 50s by 8:00 tonight. we're looking at temperatures tonight not nearly as cold as they are this morning. lots of 30s. just turned from bill up in smithsburg, he's 28. hagerstown 36. light winds mean 30 degrees at cross junction but winchester 39. with the winds up, we are -- where the winds are up, temperatures are warmer. where they're down they're in the upper 20s even. we have windchills this mo

mr. bernstein. he's only granted one permit for drilling in the gulf.e basically have a de facto moratorium on the gulf. >> i strongly disagree. >> keystone xl pipeline. come on. this president is preventing us from using our domestic resources. >> can i just add into this on the keystone pipeline -- >> sure. >> one reason for higher oil prices but particularly high gasoline prices, there's a glut of oil coming from the dakotas down to curbing, oklahoma but there's no pipeline to get to the gulf coast to get refined and then get it to the east and west coast. if this darn pipeline had been settled three years ago, we would not be in the fix we're in today, my friend jared bernstein. that's an analytic point. >> it is. >> that's what people are saying. we have a glut of oil but can't get it to the refiners. >> i don't disagree with you, larry. i think the reason gas prices are speaking is in part of the logistical problems you're mentioning. do you believe if he had made a different decision on keystone price tess pum many today would be any different? t

mr. bernstein, what a spectacular sunday we had. >> reporter: even better the rest of the week into next weekend. unusual early warmth, normally when we get a day or two in the 70s, we go back down. but looks like the whole week, basically today, will be in the 70s. so break out the shorts and get ready for spring fever. here we go with a look at your day planner. temperatures in the mid-40s now at reagan national. by 9:48. noon 60 still a decent amount of sunshine clouds thicken up mid to late afterno

mr. bernstein will there be as well tomorrow with andrea and mike. we're looking actually at a frontal system that went south of us today and go back to the north tomorrow. it will get us back in the warm sector of air. let's look at our live weather cam brought to you by michael and son. there's the capital. temperatures are going up, 59 the high today at national, pressure rising now 30.15 inches of mercury. look at the dew points. dew points are in the 50s. you know it's not getting cold tonight. it will be a pretty mild night. temps will probably remain steady or go up a bit. here's a look at radar, light activity, light rain and drizzle essentially moving through prince george's county into southern maryland, have a wet commute going home but thankfully nothing heavy. up north this is a heavier thunderstorm because you folks made it into the 70s today around hagerstown. the atmosphere is more unstable, consequently a little thunderstorm, but it is weakening a bit. it may get to martinsburg, but by that time i don't think it will be as heavy of a

mr. bernstein will be in at 4:25 in the morning for that. there is also a slight chance for a shower this morning. the atmosphere is pretty stable tomorrow. so if we see anything, just more than likely just a shower. however, by thursday, we get warmer. the atmosphere gets more unstable and much better chance of a thunderstorm. and believe it or not, even warmer still on friday with even a better chance of a few thunderstorms. so the days are going to be fine. we'll just have to dance around a couple of thunderstorms in the afternoon both thursday and friday. and friday we're talking about potentially low 80s again. so much more like june than late march. all right. 6:00 in the morning, there could be some showers in gaithersburg and frederick and even downtown. this is, i think, a bit overdone. we are going to see some low clouds no doubt. so some of the roads could be wet. i think about half of us will have a dry commute to work. by noon some breaks in the clouds out to the west actually. some showers linger by the bay. but for the most pa

mr. bernstein will have more on that tomorrow morning. lows only 50 to 56. winds southeast at 5 to 10.ing of the elk equinox, we are going into spring in the northern hemisphere. in the southern hemisphere they're going into fall at 1:14 in the morning. mostly cloudy in the morning. fog, showers, maybe a thunderstorm. 50s and 60s. all right, next seven days, it stays relatively warm. wednesday, low 70s, maybe a shower. then thursday and friday, we're back in the mid-70s with a better chance of thunderstorms, actually. a little bit cooler over the weekend. showers and storms possible on saturday. kind of late rain or drizzle on sunday. we still maintain 60s right on through monday. that's okay. again, no wind, so the cherry blossoms will remain fine. >> okay. all right, sounds good. >>> we want to remind everybody, we have started a little friendly tv and radio bracket competition for this year's march madness. if you head-on over to wusa9.com and click on the tv/radio anchor challenge, you'll see brackets from several of us. lurch from the sports junkie to wjfk and other dj's and ancho

mr. bernstein. >>> good morning. spring is coming back a little bit.70 degrees. >> there was a bite in the air yesterday. >> there was. we have temperatures in the 20s in many areas this morning. i have the big puffy down jacket this morning. you can make fun of me on the weather terrace. >> i love to announce his wardrobe. >> weather 32 degrees. by noon 43. by 5:00 we'll be coming down from a high of around 50. winds will turn to the south. a little bit out of the north this morning. some parts of albemarle in orange county had between 6 and 10 inches of snow. a stripe from charlottesville, north of richmond. a few snow showers in the afternoon. this morning we have cleared out nicely and have gotten really chilly out there. low 20s for martinsburg at 22. 25 in frederick and culpeper, manassas. even off to the east some lower 30s. down south pax river 33. we're looking at highs today upper 40s to low 50s south and west of us. 50 in washington. it's 4:26. my friend monika santami is in to let you know what's happening on the roads this early. should be

mr. bernstein will be in here at 4:25. now warmer on thursday. we're talking much warmer 20 degrees above average. an afternoon storm is possible tomorrow. isolated, though, and then more like june on friday. we're talking 80 degrees on friday. all right. hard to believe. overnight ware looking -- first put the forecast into motion. >> i think this is a little bit over done. a couple showers in the morning. i think they are going to be primarily out to the i-81 corridor. we have to worry about clouds. they will be slow to burn off not as show as today but by 11:00, 12:00 breaks back to the west leesburg up toward frederick everybody gets into the act with some sunshine and temps will go crazy tomorrow afternoon and just isolated storms will develop. so overnight then we'll stay partly to mostly cloudy mild some fog. winds southeasterly at 10. tomorrow becoming partly cloudy and mild. fog early 50s and 60s. by afternoon partly cloudy and warmer an isolated shower or storm possible, the high 75 to 80. winds turn southwesterly at 10. next 7 days 80

mr. bernstein, how was your weekend? >>> fine. it's march 5.ttle snow on the way but conversational stuff like we were talking about. well south of town, you have to get south of fredricksburg, maybe lunchburg, those areas, they may get a little on grassy surfaces but around here other than wet, light snow and flurries, not expecting much more than that. looking at the day planner, plenty of clouds. again later this morning maybe a little light snow or flurries developing. we'll have a noontime temperature still only around 40 degrees with a bit of a breeze kicking up. it is going to be a chilly day. by 5:00 p.m. mostly cloudy skies and 44. you can see the system off to the west this morning as we've got temperatures cold enough to support some snow and to charleston -- west virginia that is coming out of kentucky. this is going to slide off across southern virginia. areas along and south of interstate 64 have a much better chance of seeing some stuff than we do. we have our temperatures this morning in leesburg in the upper 20s. culpeper 28. 3

mr. bernstein, it's friday, weekend time. >> the it is but the showers are just about out of here.en on the south side of the metro area. but most of day is going to be dry once we get rid of this and the weekend is going to be dry but a little brit chilly for your saturday especially saturday. here's your day planner this friday morning. we'll need a jacket. temperatures are down in the low 50s. with some light showers. we're going to dip into the upper 40s and mid 40s here the next few hours and then back to 52 by noon and 54 at 5:00 with a high somewhere around 57, 58 degrees. yesterday we shot to 74 in the afternoon. in fact here's the rain this morning and you can see north and west of town just about done with it but south and east light to occasionally moderate showers which i think over the next two hours will be out of here. here's live doppler 9000 hd and you can see the back edge of the rain pushing through parts of fairfax county now past 66 almost past annandale over to springfield. clinton another 20 minutes or so this will be out of here. south of annapolis, heavier

mr. bernstein will be here shortly at 4:25. a couple storms will make it in west of the divide in the next couple of hours. we're not going to see a lot of storms tomorrow but a chance. you might want to bring the umbrella. odds are you won't need it but you might need it. not as warm on friday as today. that said, we're going to go from the 80s to the 70s. i think we can handle that. warm friday night. almost like summer friday night. and then mainly dry friday night as well. then the back door front gets through us again on saturday. lowers temps a little bit and then lowers temps a little more on sunday. overnight then partly to mostly cloudy. warm. showers or thunderstorms still possible. lows 55-60. winds generally light. now, tomorrow morning, we could see a shower in the morning. i think the main bulk of the commute is going to be dry. temps in the 50s and 60s. winds out of the south at 10. by afternoon, variable clouds and warm. a shower or thunderstorm possible. high temps around 75. and the winds are southwest at 10.

mr. bernstein is talking four, five different forecasts within one week. >>> we've got winter today. we'll be back in nice springtime by wednesday. consider that. this morning it's cold out there, 20s and 30s. and we even have a little bit of snow in the forecast mainly south of d.c. we have a clipper coming. too warm for any problems on the roads other than them being wet. however, areas south of town may see some minor buildup on grassy surfaces. i'm talk about that right now. let's get you going with a look at that day planner. temperatures now at 32. we'll be in the mid- to upper 30s by 9:00. by noon maybe a flurry here in d.c. but south of town, areas in fredricksburg, maybe over toward la plata, maybe down toward mechanicsville and culpeper, you have a better chance of seeing that little bit of snow on the grass than we do. noontime temperatures upper 30s to around 40. we'll finish the day mostly cloudy and 44 degrees with an area of low pressure coming out of west virginia. that's a little clipper system coming out of kentucky as well. already snowing in places like roanoke an

mr. bernstein, tell us something good. >> it's going to be 65 this afternoon. >> okay, back to you. >> it'soing to be 70 tomorrow and the weekend looks dry. how about that? got a couple of things in between though that we have to discuss. we will have winds. winds will gust 20, maybe 25 miles an hour but temperatures by noon will be in the upper 50s. 65 for the high and 62 for the drive home. you'll need a jacket this morning with 40s, even some 30s out there as well. the windchills are down, too, with winds in the 10 to 15 range already. just a few high, thin patchy clouds at times today. so a good deal of sunshine. the morning temps in the 30s. 28 in cumberland but the winds are light at the moment. once they pick up the temperatures will as well. culpeper is at 39. i spoke to charlie in catlett, 46. he said i guess we're going to finish winter with two and a half inches of snow. i agree with you, charlie. later today i think we'll be before 5 for the high. a-- 65 for the high. very spring like and breezy later on. let's go to monika at 5:29. >>> not too many complaints around town. thing

mrs. bernstein is happy with that because she'll be running the half marathon today. today we have some clouds out there. a little fog to the east and definitely cooler. we dropped 30 degrees from yesterday's high. record setting 82 at reagan national. 84, that was a record at dulles. by noon the upper 60s. there could be a couple of showers around this morning and then a shower or storm possible this afternoon as highs get toward the 75-degree mark. this morning had some thunderstorms east of pittsburgh, south of punxsutawney, out toward winchester and martinsburg this morning. you see this area of showers from capon bridge to cross junction moving east through eastern west virginia approaching interstate 81. it will get toward berryville and charlestown, harpers ferry, even wrms port over the next -- williamsport over the next 30 to 40 minutes. temperature wise in the 50s. low 50s here. we've got mid-50s to the south. still 60 at the tappahannock airport but the cooler air coming in from the east has produced 48 in easton and some fog. got some fog visibilities. cal

mr. howard bernstein. rebounding temperature-wise today? >> big time, big time.t to 56 -- we got to 56 yesterday and could be 76 today. 76 with the threat for showers and storms and pollen is up. tree pollen came in high yesterday. >> tell me about it. >> we got that down, no problem. it's 48 now, still cool. some high clouds have moved in. partly to mostly cloudy skies, sunny and 65 by noon. mid 70s for highs but we could have a couple of strong thunderstorms also before the day is out. a slight risk from the storm prediction center. watch out for anything that might pop later. right now we're watching some showers and storms northwestern ohio, central indiana. front is back here, this is what we're expecting later, mid to late afternoon. could be as soon as 1:00, 2:00, may hold off until 4:00 or 5:00. temperatures frederick 44. 45 manassas. a lot warmer than yesterday morning when we had the freeze warnings. it's 48 in anyplace. easton is down to -- annapolis, easton is down to 39. looking at the highs for today a lot warmer. perhaps only the low 80s at -- 70s

mr. bern bernstein. >>> clouds, fog.ther wise let's look at the day planner. >> six weeks of winter total. >> 60 degrees with the clouds. still mostly cloudy but like yesterday, we'll get the sun this afternoon. back in the low, possibly mid- 70s south and west of d.c. we are looking at a chance of a shower mainly south and west of washington. we're looking at showers and lightning earlier in places like dahlgren, 301 over toward richmond. you see in king george and southern maryland we've had some of those showers. this is live doppler 9000 hd. colonial beach to route 17 a few leftover showers there. point lookout in st. mary's county, that's it for the rain. but not the fog. visibilities are down to a quarter mile in gaithersburg, half mile in westminster. even in the mountains and southern parts of the shenandoah valley we have low visibilities. reagan national down to a mile and a quarter. we don't have sunrise till three hours so the fog will get thicker before it gets better. 58 in leesburg to 55 in culpeper. 60 in

bernstein. thank you for doing this. >> of course. >> here's what really bothers me the most. mr. obama, i know his roots are in the environmental movement. when he keeps saying we have only 2% of the world oil but consume 20%, that is patently untrue. new estimates given to new technology show we have 60 times the volume he's talking about. he knows that, his experts tell him that and he won't acknowledge it. >> i think there's a fine debate to be had about known reserves. but regardless i think that any research could you cite on this would show that most of the oil isn't under the u.s. and even in the case were different, larry, even if your upper estimate are correct, what we're really talking about here i think is near-term relief at the pump and there's nothing that you introduced in your earlier wrap, you called it your two cents. i was thinking if we did all that, we might take half of that off the price at the pump. >> i'm not making this stuff up. there have been reports out there. all these boutique mandates and ethanol mandates the u.s. dollar, oil is priced in dollars

mr. president and good morning to you at home. thanks for starting your day with us. i'm mike hydeck. >> i'm andrea roane, meteorologist howard bernstein is live on the weather terrace the forecast a day where you night a light jacket and -- need a light jacket and an umbrella? >> that's a factor there. that breeze is definitely going to be around today. it's going to help boost temperatures into the 70s but there will be a threat for a few showers and maybe even a few strong thunderstorms in spots. by noon 65 still going to be okay. mid to late afternoon the line of showers and storms will come through. could be a little earlier north and west of d.c. and winds will at times gust to 20 to 30 miles an hour out of the southwest. notice the high clouds pushing across the region this morning. so we'll call it partly cloudy upstairs. with temperatures running at 50 now in winchester, we're 48 but a cooler 42 in leesburg. beverly farmer is watching the roads for us with timesaver traffic. >>> hurt, bad news to report, vdot had -- well, very quickly in the way and moved out the vehicle that had broken down in front of you on the inner loop o
