northwesterly winds along the short lineup to 30 miles an hour.lsewhere 10 to 20 miles an hour most likely and a slight chance of showers coming in tomorrow night into monday. there's a better opportunity tuesday night into wednesday. maybe a quarter inch of rain. 2 degrees cooler in half moon bay, 58. that's the only modest cool down. everyone else as much as 14 degrees cooler. and 63 here, 14 degrees of cooling, as well as napa. you notice santa cruz 78 yesterday. how about 64 today. and that's actually average for this time of year. but with a little bit of wind it's going to feel a little cooler in watsonville down into the low 60s today. the culprit is a weak cold front. it's a dry one pushing through the area, allowing for the gusty winds, the cooler conditions and the northwesterly winds, keeping the fog at bay as well. high pressure will take command of our weather for the weekend but we will look for much cooler weather. tomorrow we are talking even five degrees, eight degrees of cooling from today. 5:00 tomorrow notice the increasing clo

northwesterly wind will blow cooler air into town. a northwesterly wind, but not as gusty as yesterday. increasing clouds tonight in the 30's in advance of a storm system that will affect us tomorrow. gray skies tomorrow, areas of rain. soggy at times. throughout the day we can expect three-quarters of an inch of rain. near 50. clearing out again on thursday. >> no accidents to report. overnight construction barrels have been moved out of the way. everything rolling nicely for metro rail, marc rail, and virginia will expressed. green lights and travel times in our favor across the wilson bridge out of alexandria through oxon hill. 50 looks good in maryland and virginia in fair oaks. no problems. 355 is focused at cedar lane. i'm not sure why the camera is focused there. looks pretty quiet at nih. back to you. >> thank you. the louisa county elementary school gymnasium is still closed because of the earthquake damaged six months ago. school officials believe aftershocks from last summer's magnitude 5.8 quake caused the cracks at the el

but compared to yesterday it will feel cooler on northwesterly win. a slight chance of showers. overnight sunday into monday. partly cloudy with the clouds increasing on tuesday. hopefully a quarter inch of rain, which is nothing. but compared to what we've seen, we will take it. then we stay dry through next weekend. it's a little something. maybe it will saturate the ground and the next storm will have more run off. that's positive thinking. lisa, thanks a lot. and we are joined from new york to tell us what is coming up at 7:00 on "good morning america" g morning to you. >> good morning. we have more weather to tell you about coming up. eats sort of a winter and spring combination across the country and that's creating severe weather, hammering a large chunk of t we have tornadoes, damaging winds, heavy snow, hale. and our meteorologist, along with yours that we just heard, is here with the weather updates. and another thing playing the country, gas prices spiking. the pain at the pump keeps getting worse with no peak in sight now many are going to

yesterday we saw mid, upper 50s, today low to mid50s because of that slight cool off from that northwesterlyll above average for this part of february. satellite radar view now. nothing across the midatlantic states, few clouds, the only precipitation anywhere close would be western ohio, central kentucky, leading edge of the next rain system and though this is a large system in scale, not particularly strong, we aren't seeing a large cluster of heavy rain in the core of the system. that could change through the day tomorrow but we expect that area to pass just south of us. high pressure controls tonight keeping us high and dry as clouds come in by 11, 12:00. the rain will be several hours behind the clouds thickening up. very dry air at the service. initially the rain will evaporate on the air down, verga rain but rain will come down and as we go past 2:00. the trend showing the key factor in tomorrow's rain chance and that's after 2:00 most of the moisture stays south, stay down in virginia, looks like it may make a slight move to the north toward 8:00. that would bring it very close so pe

for tonight mostly cloudy, just chilly, light rain possible by dawn, lows 38 to 46, winds northwesterly10 and quite frankly, most everybody holds in the 40s tonight which is even warmer than it should be during the day. all this crazy warm weather and the longer days now, we have more than stefan hours of daylight, which is kind of a signal -- 10 hours of daylight, which is kind of a signal for the plants to start doing their thing. reporter: a lot of folks here in bethesda, some wearing flip- flops and shorts. with this warm weather you've got the flowers fluming and trees, but it doesn't feel -- blooming and trees, but it doesn't feel so pretty with a lot of folks having to grab for their allergy medication. >> my eyes are bothering me, teary and itchy. reporter: the allergies are coming early as well as the early flower blossoms. >> i can't breathe. i can't smell anything. reporter: several weeks earlier than usual some trees are blooming like maple, apricot and some types of cherry trees. >> it's definitely out in the ample. reporter: allergists in the washington area report patient

northwesterly winds howling near the coast. watsonville, 55. a little bit of a break.onday night, tuesday, and then another chance of some showers tuesday night, wednesday morning, and then we should dry out for a couple of days. >> thank you, leigh. >> valentine's day. don't forget. let's talk to shu. pebble beach was up for grabs. >> mike: like a pack ten championship. charlie wi. stanford, by tiger. today's final round at at&t ex-it was an old-school feeling with tiger woods and phil mickelson paired together, both hoping to chase down charlie wi. the most beautiful finishing hole in golf. charlie wi looking to win his first. he four-putts and that opened the door for the superstars. lefty locked in from the get-go. check out his approach on 5. sticks it. birdies that up and three of his first five holes. then on 6 for eagle. moved him to 5-under after 6, putting the pressure on tiger. woods responds on 12. nothing but net for birdie. tiger has chance to gain two shots on lefty, unless, of course, mickelson makes this 35-footer for par. and he buries it. grits his t

north/northwesterly winds at 10, the dewpoint only 29, so a nice, dry day. we do have a system coming tomorrow that's going to bring some light snow and rain. that rain is generally going to be south and southeast of d.c. north and west of town light snow and some of that could be breaking out even by mid morning, places like winchester, hagerstown, up toward fredrick. roads, though, will be mostly wet. that means warm today, relatively speaking. tomorrows temps will be upper 30s to near 40. late in the day between 4:00 and 9:00 when the snow is coming down, the sun angle goes down lower, that's when we could have issues with slick spots. snow totals a trace to as much as two inches mainly on grassy areas. but some sidewalks and driveways, some back roads and we head into the evening hours get a little accumulation on them, don't be surprised, just take it easy. this is the storm tomorrow, it's already in the central plains. you see some snow with it, that's the blue. the rain is green across kansas. we've got some freezing drizzle in areas of nebraska and s

that said the winds will turn and become northwesterly after midnight.ere's what we know and for the most part i am looking at conflicting data, but i think these will pretty much stay true. you can keep your saturday night plans. it will start as rain about everywhere and change to snow late morning, early afternoon sunday and the critical times no matter if it's a direct hit or glancing blow will still be between 11 a.m. and 8 p.m. on sunday. one reason derek and i were talking a minute ago why we aren't going to do accumulations is because we don't know the exact track of the snow and it may end up snowing with temperatures at 35 degrees and it's very hard to figure out how much will stick when temps are above freezing. we'll zoom out to the four corners. some of the moisture and energy will be that storm. this will dive into the coastal portion of texas and gulf of mexico and move northeastward. good news, though. it's producing rain in west texas, something they've seen very little of in the last 14, 15 months. most of our showers are gone. we're lo

but in the meantime, we are looking at that northwesterly flow. go throughout the day, that's going to be picking up the winds as we go into the afternoon i say about 10 to 15 miles an hour and it will be breezy. the temperatures i am forecasting which i will show you in a second will feel chillier. future trend picking up on the clouds this morning. but also, picking up on the rain that's poised to move in as we go into your thursday. you can see it an all rain event but further to the north they are going to be getting snow in northern pennsylvania and also into new york. this slides off and then we will dry out as we head into friday. a much better day before that potential system works its way in for the weekend. temperatures coming in at 53 degrees but with the wind that i talked about from the northwest today, it will feel chillier than that. yesterday, we were out of the southwest and it bumped the temperatures up. yesterday we came in at about 56 degrees. and i think we will be a little cooler today due to the flow of the wind. yesterday,

we've got a north/northwesterly breeze around 15 to 20 miles per hour. it does feel a little bit chillier with the breeze. it is above freezing throughout the entire region from western maryland into west virginia, where it's in the mid to upper 30s, to the shenandoah valley, upper 30s to near 40 there. from the shenandoah valley east, we are in the low 40s to mid 40s throughout most of the region. it's in the upper 30s montgomery county, though. and in much of fairfax county, the low 40s as well as prince george's county. as we look at the last 12 hours, we had a weak front yesterday that shifted our wind into the northwest, that brought in somewhat cooler air after we reached the 60s yesterday. we're not going to repeat that today. it will be cooler, highs generally in the mid and briefly upper 50s. we'll have lots of sunshine. sunrise at 6:43. a look at the evening planner in ten minutes. danella, good morning. >>> good morning, construction in some areas slowing you down a bit. if you're taking i-66 eastbound to the beltway, you have construction blo

we will have a light northwesterly breeze. tomorrow's temperature, well, not so bad. i think you might like it, coming in right around 52 degrees. we still will be above average. let's get a check now of that traffic with angela. good morning. lots of fog out there. reporter: good morning, lynette. you are right, a lot of fog out there, especially downtown right now and crossing the chesapeake bay bridge. we'll get to some live shots in just a moment. first want to update you on two situations on the roadways. first that fire we mentioned in the city, overnight business fire, lafayette and dukeland. city police now say they have shut down lafayette and ash burton for an investigation as well. so expect slow traffic in that area. now, traveling northbound on i- 95 through hartford county, we're looking pretty good here at maryland 152, but once you get to 543, police are still diverting traffic as northbound lanes are still closed. we're saying route 40 or route 7 as a good alternate. hopefully they'll be outta there soon with that overnight tractor-trailer incident. a

lows 28 to 38, winds becoming northwesterly at 10. we'll come back and talk about a milder tuesday and also a turn to winter on wednesday. >>> coming up republican presidential candidates turn their attention to tomorrow's races in colorado and minnesota. we'll have the latest from the campaign trail. >>> also ahead see why a consumer group says this popular baby stroller could pose a potential safety risk, more on that. >> reporter: i'm scott broom at the university of maryland with a bagful of stink bugs. when i come back, i've got some good news and some not so good news about them.

this will keep the northwesterly winds flowing in out of the upper midwest which will continue to drop the temperatures. eve as the sky -- even as the sky clears out, you can see that big dome. we're watching this weather system coming out of the midwest. this, depending on the track, could bring us a decent round of showers saturday night into early sunday, perhaps some wintry showers for western maryland. overnight down to 32, clearing skies, getting colder overnight. mostly sunny and a bit colder. your forecast we fall to 34 with clouds on the increase and staying chilly. here's the seven-day forecast. as we look ahead, we will cool things down. we'll cheap that chance for showers saturday night into early sunday rand dry weather next week as things get call and it looks like on the mild side again. that's toward next week. kelly? >> february is black history month. today there was a celebration at the university of maryland. faculty and students viewed a 15-minute documentary on wall perked carter. carter was instrumental in baltimore's civil rights movement. his daughter, delegate

winds will become northwesterly at 10 to 15. next seven days.rsday there are your rain and showers, but still mild. friday we first name the week strong with temperatures generally in the 50s. and saturday, we're still in the mid 50s. and then we're looking at the possibility of a coastal storm on sunday. looks like most of the models now in agreement that a storm will develop off the southeast coast. they diverge. then we're back to the 50s on president's day. this was last wednesday, hard to believe. this was up in frederick where they had 1 to 2 inches. if it was a very nice shot. if you want to send in a best shot, go to wusa9.com and include your name, location, and description. >> is there a worse case scenario? >> just thought i would try. >> tuesday, dude. come on. >> back to you guys. now to the capital where there's renewed optimism for the payroll tax cut. gop leaders are willing to extend the breakthrough the end of the year without finding ways to pay for it. >> the 2% tax cut averages out to $1,000 per family. and while striking a

indication of our front coming through that will shift the winds and begin to bring in colder northwesterly breeze ease overnight into the day tomorrow. you see the high temperatures 66. this was a nice mild day running some 15 degrees above average. tomorrow a reality check as we see low 50s from reisterstown to arbutus struggling in the 50s, points north of baltimore, maybe never out of the upper 40s, low 50s toward the southern end toward edge water. our satellite radar pictures are clear tonight. they will clear to start the day tomorrow. this front comes through dry but it will drop the temperatures and the overall east coast pattern is a quiet one for february. cooler, drier air marching in behind that boundary that comes through and into the day tomorrow but no precipitation. a few showers off the carolinas. dry into your tuesday from tuesday night into wednesday, still dry. as we go toward wednesday morning upbegin to see our next weather maker out toward ohio. that will come in toward mid-wednesday into wednesday afternoon looking for some heavy showers, a few downpours, a second s

and we do have a northwesterly wind which is usually a cooler wednesday but we topped out very similarhat we did yesterday. at this hour with the sun setting we are starting to drop. we have a lot of 30s out there to the north and west. we're also hanging on to 30 degrees but we're going up in the next few days. there's a storm passing to the south of us which may bring some clouds by tomorrow but that looks to be about it. it's that next front which is going to change up our weather pattern a little bit in the middle part of the week. behind it much colder air. we have the mild air that's going to move our way. this is how it works out for us. there's been a lot of areas in the upper 70s today in georgia and south carolina. initially we're going to get some of that milder air starting tomorrow. then that front comes our way on wednesday. it does have colder air behind it so we may see rain or snow showers with the front as it passes through. it will knock down temperatures but very briefly because the second half of the week we're going up to 50 degrees. southwest winds at five to 10

northwesterly wind at about 10 miles an hour during the day. just a bit of a breeze this morning. there was a snow last night at 6:00 and it did turn over briefly here in the district but it didn't amount to much. the streets thankfully stayed wet just about everywhere. generally wet streets. clear skies this morning and temperatures are down below freezing, in fact down to 24 in hagerstown and it's 30 in winchester. south and east of town we guilty mid 340s now from -- got mid 30s now from tappahannock to eastern. again a couple of slick spots and again 27 up in gaithersburg and it's 31 in springfield and columbia and baden this morning at 33 degrees while looking outside the michael & son weather camera, nice and clear. white house lit up there are. they're there 24/7 working. 34 degrees with a windchill of 25 thanks to the wind at 10 miles an hour. there goes the storm from yesterday. and i kind overhated to call it a storm. -- of hate to call it a storm. system from yesterday. not too much behind it but a front is going to be invading the midwest here today and that thing is g

as we go into the day tomorrow we clear things out, a big day of sunshine with a northwesterly breeze, bringing in some cooler air. i still think we'll be well into the low 50s but perhaps not the mid-50s. we'll trim three degrees or so off our highs. highs have been tricky all week. our trend into thursday, we bring in our next rain system. it could provide wintry weather. for maryland south it looks like a rain event on thursday but tonight just a few light showers really not bad as you take your sweetheart out. mostly sunny and tomorrow night down to 35. as clouds increase, could see a late overnight shower. better chance through thursday and then a dry friday with sunshine. saturday looking good. we're watching sunday the collapse for another mixed weather system. we'll keep you posted on that. >>> he told us with this -- about this promotion. if you showed up at q do ba and kissed at the counter, you can buy one meal and get one free. so there you go. kiss at the counter at qdoba and you get two for one. >> in about nine minutes they will be gathering at the gopher hole. all eyes

northwesterly winds brisk over the higher hills.ok for partly cloudy conditions throughout the day on sunday. and then we'll bring in a slight chance of showers monday -- sunday night and monday, and this is mainly north of the golden gate bridge. clear tonight. temperatures north and east bay, cold, mid-to-upper 30s. 40s and mid-to-low 40s near the bay as well as the coast. half moon bay overnight, 40. this is the front that moved through this morning. this is the clear patch we're in right now. you can see the secondary storm system to the north and west. the bulk of this system will stay to the north but it will just skim right buy us, just enough to wring out a few showers. here's a look at the futurecast. at 11:00 tonight we might seal the clouds increase, and the rain will stay off the coast. 2:00 tomorrow, we'll see some sunshine. and then we'll cloud back up. this is 1:00 a.m. monday morning. you can see a few light showers north of the golden gate bridge in through morning hours on monday. that is about it. after this syste
