reston also at 40 degrees right now. washington at 45. and high temperatures today only in the upper 40s. areas like la plata, mechanic mechanicsville, a shower for the afternoon hours. areas further north like camp springs has a good chance of remaining dry. alexandria, you could be dealing with a shower or a temperature there of 50 for a high today. otherwise, clouds hang on strong today. northern virginia, areas like culpeper, fredericksburg and orange have a better chance of dealing with rain, whereas i think leesburg and manassas will remain dry. for tomorrow, plenty of sunshine, but we're still cold. a high temperature of 43 degrees tomorrow. tuesday, snow will likely arrive during the midmorning hours, i think around 8:00 a.m., and then we'll have the threat of snow throughout the day, maybe mixing with some rain during the afternoon as our temperatures warm to above freezing. accumulation amounts i think will be minor, maybe 1 to 2 inches. any snow we get will melt by wednesday. >> yeah, so that temperature, we're talking above fr

to earlier that for decades have been spinning michel and everything reston and as you as you mentioned here oh the very interesting report recently on how lenient the united states has been with the saudi arabia on this issue but i wonder what is the real reason for saudi procrastination in removing all those vitriolic passages from from their textbooks well first of all like to say that i don't think the united states has been uniquely lax when it comes to raising saudi textbooks in fact i think it's actually done more than any other government in its bilateral exchanges with the saudi authorities on this issue for instance i saw no indication that this was part of the conversation when prince on darren bought a mere putin met last. and moscow. so you know i think there are things other countries can do that having been said the united states has more leverage that it could potentially potentially use with saudi arabia on this issue and in that regard i really do wish the united states would do more well dr weinberg the reason why president putin may not raise davis issue or other iss
