off to the the north and west the last showers pushing up north and east of baltimore.i think we will be in for much drier weather. we did have a few showers overnight. we're looking at much quieter conditions and sunshine today. i think we'll at least get partial sunshine. we'll see some breaks starting to open up there in northern virginia. it should be if not a bright day at least a partly sun why i -- sunny day but windy and cold with temperatures in the upper 30s to about 40 later this afternoon. here is your forecast. i mentioned the wind advisory. partly sunny skies, windy, much colder than yesterday. yesterday upper 50s. today low 40s. again it will feel colder than that with windchill and winds gusting to about 30 miles per hour in washington. clearing skies, cold overnight. all the area below freezing. 27 in the city. teens and low 20s if you're north and west once the winds lighten up. here's your cold weekend. generally sunny. could be a few snow flakes late saturday, early sunday. clouds as well. then we'll saturday to warm up. martin luther king day, sunsh

snow to the north.we're going to get some accumulating snow north and west and up into pennsylvania. as we get to saturday morning we've got this messy mix down to the south, a wedge of cold air we're so used to. a little bit of a change everyhere in town but that's really close in setting up along i-95. by saturday at 6:00 we're drying out. we could have a few problems. and just, by the way, they've already issued a winter watch farther out to the north and west for those counties. i suspect that by tomorrow afternoon we will probably have a little bit more out there, maybe a little bit more towards the north and closer to us. there's the five-day forecast. i teased this earlier, so i want to mention it. what i was talking about, monday 54, tuesday 53, and the long-range guidance for next week is suggesting that we stay in the 50s pretty much all week long. >> how nice. >> it's the winter of rebound. we get a couple cold day, then up go the temperatures. >> love it. >> more details on that storm, too,

it is colder north and west. back to freezing or below.when we check out our radar and highlights the clouds, a few snow bands and flurries trying to work in to forest hill and maybe hickory and the north side, a few flakes back there, typically once these cross the mountains we get support in the environment with the cold air and fast upper level winds. once you cross 95, the chance of flurries diminishes arundel, bay bridge to the eastern shore. when we talk about the flakes, better chance north and west. there is our source. wind flow is carrying west, southwest to northeast, really slamming buffalo and the cleveland suburbs. upper level winds carry the snow showers. this is pretty much a guarantee for half of the viewing area, west and north of baltimore. smaller chance south and

especially anyone's lab, east bay and north bay if you head out -- especially peninsula, east bay, north bay. temperatures are mild, as much as 10 to 20° warmer than yesterday. we are already 57° in oakland,. we will hold on to this cloud cover for sometime. 56 half moon bay, 55 novato with the north end of the bay the cool spot, 51 santa rosa. you translate that intos have ability, boy it is like pea soup from napa to -- santa rosa, half moon bay, four miles in hayward, nine mile visibility in san jose. changes from yesterday with the fog this morning, cooler afternoon, the clouds lingering in the north bay. still, we will look for a mild afternoon. we will get back into an offshore flow tomorrow. right now we've got light winds thanks to high pressure hurt sitting over us. to the north of us, weak system spreading rain from washington, oregon and light snow up through mount shasta, not going to make it any further south. the moisture out in the pacific continues to ride up and over the ridge. you can see the green representing the rain sliding just a little south and then look what hap

the one to the north will be dropping our way come tomorrow. you'll notice the case of canadian air conditioning as highs will be in the 50s, even with the sunshine next chance of showers should be way up here on the north coast, but things start to change as we head towards wednesday. we'll see a chance of rain for the far north bay and thursday and friday, watching how far south the rain goes. second half of the week, pretty heavy rain from lake county north. friday and saturday, friday afternoon, it should be the main event for rain, for the week ahead, then this time next weekend, it looks like we'll be seeing some showers. so we're not looking at the chamber of commerce weather we had today. more like january coming up as we go through the week. so turning chilly tonight. we'll see lows like we had this morning, lots of 30s. possibly a little patchy frost for our north and east bay valleys. through the day tomorrow, temperatures in the 50s. a reminder that we're still in january. i know we've had some 60s and 70s, but not the case to wrap
