and just in time for the ravens game, it's going to be pretty nice, mainly clear. we're going up to about 46 degrees today. so at 4:25 when the kickoff happens, well, 42 degrees, calmer winds, only about a five mile per hour wind from the west or southwest, actually, and that's going to be very comfortable. just dress for the chilly conditions because, of course, at that time of evening temperatures are dropping. so it's going to be pretty cold before that game is over and done. right now it's pretty cold, 28 degrees is our temperature at bwi marshall, 19 is your dewpoint. south/southwesterly wind at three miles per hour. barometer is building now, getting higher at 30.07. 20 in oakland, 31 in elkton, 30 down in oash obvious city. around the -- ocean city. around the metro area we have 20ss across the board for the most part until you get over towards the western -- that's the eastern side actually. weather people have a challenge with directions. eastern side of the beltway. bel aire over toward rock hall and kent island all in the low- to mid-30s and that's where
