thank you very much for coming to pax river today. eremenko: i think uavs of the future will certainly be able to exhibit increased levels of autonomy. but i think if you were to ask most autonomy researchers, or most ai researchers about whether the rise of the machines type scenario is a real concern, their response would be, "we should be so lucky." in fact, if we could get little slivers of that kind of adaptive and cognitive capability into systems, that would be a very significant breakthrough over where we stand today. mcdonough: i've flown about 2,000 hours and the missions that i've flown seldom go as planned. there's a lot of pieces that you cannot plan for. karem: nothing can replace the human being in a tactical environment saying what to do next and why not this and why not that. karem: an airbus 320 with 150 passengers goes into a flock of canadian geese and needing to land... karem: "i can't do it-- i'm going on the hudson." you want to be in a robotic 320 in that situation, or do you want sullenberger to land you? beca

it will be rather cool, damp with a lot of clouds. 46 in leesburg, 43 in pax river. as we look at the radar, we don't have to go too far to start to see where the rain is. it's just back through the west. rain will be trying to make its way in here through the day tomorrow, but what has made its way in is the cloud cover. the clouds continue to persist and will pers through most of the day tomorrow, and then eventually they'll give us some rain, some much-needed rain at that. high pressure dominating today. the clouds have now moved in. the mild weather we've had, it's going to stick around. we'll call tomorrow might, even though it would be fairly cool. we're still predicting temperatures to be about 50 or higher in many locations, so even with that northeasterly wind, we'll be on the mild side. with the shower activity with the cloud cover, it's going to feel quite cool, and you'll need an umbrella. not a washout tomorrow, but we will see shower activity. thinking about a quarter inch total precipitation. just enough to make it wet around the region. then on saturd

still 55 in southern maryland at the pax river naval air station. but 39 in winchester and hagerstown with some of the windchills here dropping into the 20s already. looking outside, great visibility. we're doing much better. 50 at national airport. humidity at 52%. the forecast calling for clearing today but a windy, colder day. mid-40s. we'll see some mountain snow showers. 29 tonight. late tonight, early tomorrow some light now or snow showers, flurries especially south of town. we only get to 33 tomorrow. still windy with the northwesterly winds over 30 at times. by saturday 36, less wind. sunday it's going to be in the low 40s, 41, with a chance of a flurry. 50 by tuesday. back to the mid-40s on wednesday. monika, we saw some of the high water out west, northwest of town causing issues for a lot of people. >>> that's right. we keep getting messages from loudoun county saying they received up to 3 inches of water. they're saying please do not attempt to drive through any roads that you think may be flooded. turn around, don't drown. flooding and

warmer air as normal down to the south. 45 degrees in fredericksburg. 43 towards pax river.ch what happens. trying to make its way our way. now we did see some of this come over earlier today. we saw a sprinkle or two. that was about it. the atmosphere very, very dry. and bottom half of the atmosphere. anything that was falling wasn't making it to the ground. i think that will be the case with this little blach of moisture here. this batch of moisture trying to make it farther to the north. i don't expect much with this. i think we will be dry throughout the rest of the evening hours. lot of you are waiting important snow. hey, we are already through december. is the winter over already? don't think that just yet. month of december this year, we only had .2 of an inch officially at the airport. 82% of our snow falls between january and march. so there's still a very good chance we are going to see snow here coming up in the next couple of months. i think it will be the latter half of january because the first part of january looks a little bit on the cool side to start off.
