dulles, 57; bwi-thurgood marshal, 54 and we won't be getting that warm tomorrow. the clouds are coming in overnight and then we have a little bit of precipitation that is bringing the rain to the area first and then maybe some snow to end the day. it's 46 in gaithersburg, 55 degrees in the district and it's probably going to be mild again tonight. the clouds are coming in. we're thinking 37 degrees in the district and don't be shockd if you're in the 40s in many areas overnight. and so, warm today and mild at night means roads are probably going to be okay. no matter what we get thrown our way tomorrow. can you see the clouds are coming in right now and there is no precipitation. we have to fly to the south across north carolina to find the nearest precip and this is heavier as you look to georgia and to alabama and miss sippy and a little bit of -- and mississippi and some snow around oklahoma city and wichita and that is the snow we're going to watch and it will start around this area as a bit of light rain tomorrow and that is probably in the mid- to late morni

we reached 46 degrees at reagan; 43, dulles and 45 at bwi thurgood marshal. the temperatures, two to five degrees below the seasonal average for the day and we're looking at temperatures that are in that range right now, actually. 45 at d.c. and with 44 at fredericksburg and baltimore and 43 in dulles. cooler to the north, though, 37 in frederick and 39 degrees at hagerstown. overall for tonight, 36 for your overnight low and mostly cloudy. fog developing. we had originally thought there might be some passing showers and that is taken out of the forecast and there is some news tomorrow. i will have the details later. back to you. >>> coming up on the news at 10, the latest on the oscar pistorius -- pistorius investigation. >>> and a california family is fearing the worst after a couple goes missing. >> and coming up later, the pet owner's worse nightmare. a routine dog walk sends this guy to the pet er after an angry property manager sprinkled a dangerous condiment on his lawn. the news at 10 will be right back. hey. they're coming. yeah. british. later. sorr
