we've got 40s still at the pax river air station. easton, d.c., culpepper, 36. with low 30s. freeding actually cumberland and hagerstown down to winchester and luray. when you factor in the winds gusting 25 to 35 miles per hour. now, we've got wind chill issues. wind chills down in the mid- 20s. comparison to yesterday, that's what makes it feel so bad. yesterday morning, we were around 60. right now, 36. partly cloudy skies out there. dew points 24. the wind out of the west- northwest at 9 gusting to 20. there goes the storm. this thing is racing quickly. in interior, maine, upwards of ten inches of snow from this while coastal areas are seeing the rain. behind it, the winds are being -- the northwesterly winds bringing in the colder air will say good-bye to this. it all quickly leaves giving us a good day today with lighter wind and high pressure built in tonight. should be a fairly quiet night. another front comes late tomorrow. that will cool us off again for saturday. so, today, mid-40s. breezy in the morning. lighter in the afternoon. 25 to 35 tonight with light winds.

even pax river. upper 40s, 49 degrees. i think these areas down to the south and off to the east will see slightly higher readings today topping out in the low 50s. now, we had that wind around since early this morning, weak weather system came through. picked up the wind. i have seen winds gusting as high as 30 right near the bay. but those subsided a bit. up to 30, though. right now inside the beltway for d.c. 29 miles per hour gusts being reported in hagerstown. breezy day for us. winds subsided. later on, during the evening hours we will drop down to 46 degrees by 5:00. sunset at 4:52. we will be look at scattered clouds and picking up more clouds as we get -- to the midnight hour. 38 degrees, though, i think by around 11:00 p.m. or midnight. it will not be all terribly cold, you know, tonight with the wind still stirring atmosphere around. you can see the white. those are the clouds. those are the high clouds. lot of spots down to the south around charles county and st. mary's county in the clear. radar is quiet. but

right now really close to that high for the day. 49 here, 51 still in pax river. we have a lot of clouds around. 39 in oakland. there's been a couple of sprinkles and that's about all we expect to see. 48 up in cumberland, locally, the dewpoint is up in the 20s. there's still a lot of dry air around so there's a lot of precipitation from these clouds. they're going to make it to the ground. i mean it's a mild night again. 44 bell air, and westminster. now this morning was quite chilly. 33 this morning, that's below normal and a lot of frost in the area. this morning it got to 32 degrees finally at the science center. this is the first morning that they've gotten to freezing. that is like the longest growing season the long time area has had in a long time. technically. it's the time between first and last frost of the year. that's a very long season. 50-22. the average now 44-37. the record 66 in 1931 and six in 1989. no winds here at all. but it's been a southerly component all night long. that will continue across the aridondaks. rain ahead of temperatures in th

by the way, pax river, you guys got down to 28 in southern maryland as well. right now, we've warmed up nicely. 48 degrees at reagan national to 52 in fredericksburg. it is on the chilly side for sure up to our north cumberland is at 37. hagerstown is at 40. frederick not reporting at the moment but they're likely in the low to mid-40s there with 48 from andrews and also across the bay. in washington at this hour, we've got 48 officially at reagan national. mostly sunny skies. a little bit of a breeze out of the north-northwest at 15. if you're right over there, wind chills are running in the low 40s right now. the barometer has been fairly steady all day sitting at 30.45. high pressure is in control here. in contrast to the southwest and central part of the country, quite a dip in the jet stream. you can see the spin around san diego, rain, mountain snows here. jet stream coming across texas and mexico. this storm is producing rain in arizona, new mexico and colorado and utah. rain for the central part of the country. extending in toward the ohio and tennesse

even down to pax river, too. watch out for the patchy dense fog mainly south and southeast.e fallen into the 40s west. at 50 in town with low, mid-50s south and east of us. as we look at the forecast highs, upper 50s to a few spots in the lower 60s. rain returns tonight. could be heavy at times. i'll have more on that and the christmas outlook in the next 15, 20 minutes. right now, monika is in with timesaver traffic. i'll bet there's not too much construction left. >> no. there is not too much construction left. i was watching the construction workers, in december, the weather is pretty good for those who have to do that, especially overnight. overall, things are look great. on the outer loop of the beltway heading south at 66, traffic was being detoured on to the westbound side of 66, everyone was turning around at nutley street and getting back on to the beltway. they're cleaning that up right now. otherwise, on the northside of town, things are looking great. let's take a live look at the beltway at university boulevard. all of the construction cones moved. no problems t

those guys tell me there is frost as well with 32 down at pax river and locally, 33 at reagan national with partly cloudy skies. winds are calm. so, we don't have a wind chill to discuss and dew point 28. barometer, slowly falling off so that's good when the pressure changes are slow, it feels better on the ole bones. look at this in the country. northern part of the country is quiet. the southwest is being hammered by rain and snow from l.a. we've got rain. snow in the mountains of los angeles. snow in the mountains of arizona, new mexico, colorado. some of the snow totals will be in the one to two foot range at higher elevations. look at the rain continuing there. and you know, for skiers out west, this is fine. when there is a big dip in the jet stream like there is here, it rises in the east. that keeps us mild. it keeps the jet to our north and west and the storm track takes the storm up toward the great lakes. it doesn't bring it here. so, for us, we end up on the warm side of the equation. a lot of people are ok with that. if you're hoping for snow, this is not a parche that is
