tony perkins, good to see you as well. >> we've already seen at least a part of tony. >> redskins, caps, ravens, not a bad weekend for the area in sports. >> we'll be listening to redskins talk all morning long. >> yes, you are. i'm sorry. we'll try to limit it. awards-winning with weather as well over the course of the weekend. that will continue today. we'll have a warm day today. i think today will be warmer than yesterday was and we could set a couple of records across portions of the viewing area. let's start with the satellite- radar. not a lot to show you. we saw one blip show up up to the north and then a couple little spots here and there popping up on the radar. nothing of real interest with those spots although there will come a point where we could see a couple of showers. i'll tell you about that in a little bit. it won't be during the day today, i don't think. current temperature, 64 degrees in washington. i got to add that. 62 at dulles airport. 69 in ocean city. your forecast for today, lots of sunshine. i think more clouds will build in during the course of the afternoo

let's get a look at the forecast with tony perkins. >> it is not going to be a bad day. it will be cool like it was yesterday. but we've got improving conditions on the way. we'll see warmer temperatures starting tomorrow and then as we head towards the weekend as well. let's take a look at radar. we do have a couple of light sprinkles here and there this morning. they are widespread and not numerous. just a couple of spots here and there. can you see out to the west, we have some precipitation. farther out to the west out near the mountains is where we're seeing some more significant rainfall but that is not going to work its way in here. the best we'll do for today are a few sprinkles here and there but plenty of clouds hanging around. current conditions being reported at reagan national, 54 degrees is your temperature. the winds have calmed down. they are now coming to us out of the southwest at three miles per hour. your day planner for today, lots of clouds around today. mostly cloudy skies. temperatures again into the low 60s. we hit 63 yesterday. that is what we t

police. >>> let's check in with tony perkins and look at our forecast for today. another great day yesterday. >> it was a fantastic day yesterday. all of a sudden it's left me what our high was? 83? >> 80s and sunshine. >> well we'll have sunshine today. not the 80s though. look for highs in the 60s to around 70 degrees today. let's check the current temperatures around the region as we get off to a cool start. right now here in d.c., the current temperature is 54 degrees. got 55 down in quantico. and also 55 in cambridge, maryland. 46 in gaithersburg. 51 in dulles and culpeper virginia coming in at 52 degrees at this hour. here is a look at the satellite radar for the region. we have pretty much a mix of clouds and sun this morning. to the north sunnier skies. to the south more cloudy skies. and as the day progresses we'll get more sunshine working in here as the clouds suppress down to the south. got scattered rain showers across the southeastern united states. those won't impact us today as we expect high pressure to control our weather just for today. that cha

high tony perkins. >> good morning, not a bad start to this tuesday. a mix of clouds and sun out there. not too bad as far as temperatures go and i think it will be a decent day. there is a chance for showers but still a decent day. >> and might be the last kind of warm day. because i don't think 60 something is warm. >> no it is not. we call that mild, cool to mild. let's start with the satellite radar composite. we do have clouds over us. a mix of clouds and sun. not a bad start to the day. we had some rain overnight and some lightning showing up now. this is in new jersey. and we've been watching the showers and some thunderstorms move across pennsylvania into new jersey, although northeastern maryland was in on the action not too long ago. but they're having thunderstorm active the now in portions of new jersey. temperatures across the region, we are at 64 degrees. it's in the 50s elsewhere. 58 in baltimore. 56 at dulles airport. 57 in frederick, and 57 in fredericksberg. your forecast for today, partly sunny skies, some clouds around. scattered af

. >> tony perkins is here with more on this day. it's going to get better, right, tony? >> certainly. not that much better. we'll getting off to a cool start. we'll see temperatures warmer than what they were yesterday morning but still cool air in place for us for today. let's take a look at the current temperatures this morning. 51 currently in washington. 51 at annapolis. gaithersburg at 48. quantico 44. the cool spot is manassas at 41 degrees. it was 39 there not too long ago. i won't even say cool. downright cold toward manassas. here is a look at the satellite radar composite for the eastern u.s. we are seeing a mix of clouds and clear skies during the morning hours. and i think we'll see a fair amount of sunshine during the morning but then more clouds that you see out to the west will build in later on today. we believe that precipitation stays out of the area for the most part. so the forecast for today, another cool one. we'll see our highs into the upper 50s and low 60s. skies will become more cloudy as the day progresses. look for a high in manassas of 60, bo

let's say good morning to tony perkins as we get our first look at the weekend forecast. >> it will be a good weekend forecast too. >> a big payoff after all the rain and the really cool temperatures we had. >> we get the benefits now of all of that. we'll go through today and the weekend and into the beginning of next week too. we'll show you was

let's check in with tony perkins and say good morning

going to be a great day today weather-wise and tony perkins is here to tell us the good details. , tony. >> you're right. a great day and a great couple of days. we'll show you the satellite radar for the region. stepped outside a short time ago and we do have clouds out there but the sun is breaking through and we'll see more sunshine as the day progresses. this area of low pressure that's been impacting our weather for the past several days is the culprit and that's pulling the cloud cover away from us slowly but surely. temperatures across the region, another cool start to the day. 51 degrees right now in washington. 49 out of dulles airport. baltimore is at 50 degrees for the current temperature. today, here is what we're looking for. skies becoming mostly sunny. it will be breezy. you can get some gusty winds gusting up to 20-25 miles per hour later on today. but a lot of sunshine and a high of 73 degrees. not bad at all. we'll have more on the forecast coming up in just a little bit. >> nice. >> yes, it is. >> thanks, tony. >>> let's check in with julie wright and check the

tony perkins has the forecast. we are watching moisture. >> we have clouds, precipitation to the west in the form of rain and we are likely to see the rain over much of washington during the course of the next couple of hours, actually. we will take a look at that. let's show you satellite and radar. this shows a considerable amount of lightning over south central virginia now. i was watching this earlier seeing lightning. that is showing much more than earlier across south central virginia and portions of northern and north central carolina as well. we are not expecting all of that. we cannot rule out the possibility of a thunderstorm later on today. as you see, this precipitation is off to the west of the washington area near front royal you are getting showers there and that will move in here later on. current temperatures around the region, we are in the 50s here. 57 degrees in the district. 54 dulles airport. 59 in fredricksburg. 48 right now in baltimore. here is your forecast for today. cloudy and cool with

good morning to tony perkins. >> good morning, everybody. today as far as the weather goes, you want to bring the umbrella with you. we are likely to see rain showers across the region as promised. let's take a look out there. satellite and radar with more clouds than we had lately. those clouds will bring rainfall. you can see it to the west starting to get closer, we think, by later on this morning during the next few hours we will see rainfall move across the region. and tucker was saying a few moments ago, could be a few thunderstorms later on today. we can't rule that out. that is a possibility. get set for a fairly wet day. current temperatures around the area, cool day, 56 degrees in washington. 47 in baltimore. 45 in frederick. 52 dulles and in fredricksburg, virginia, it's 59 degrees. forecast, simple. cloudy, cool, rain developing. high around 60, maybe 61, 62 depending on where you are with periods of rain and a thunderstorm possible. we will have more details in the forecast coming up. >> i don't want to see you faking any injuri

let's say good morning to tony perkins with a look at that forecast. >> hello. not bad. as promised, things begin to improve today. they began to improve yesterday as we saw a little bit of sunshine during the first part of the day. today, we'll see more sunshine and warmer temperatures. >> sounds good. >> we'll take a look at the satellite-radar o my way into work, i had a brief sprinkle. tucker opportunity believe me but i did. you can see showing up on the radar just a little bit of activity primarily up to our north. we do have some clouds out there this morning as well. fear not. we'll see lots of sunshine as the day progresses. current temperatures around the region, another cool start to the day. 53degrees in the nation's capital. fredericksburg is at 54 degrees. tull less airport, it is cool, 49. ocean city, 53. your forecast is simple. mostly sunny skies but mostly sunny skies overall today. breezy at times with winds maybe gusting up to 5 or 30 miles per hour. 73 degrees. >> that does sound nice. >> that is 10 degrees warmer than yesterday. >> and more sunshine

tony perkins has perhaps the best news of the day for us. >> it will be a great day again today and the next several days are just going to be perfect across our region. >> i think this is probably the nicest time of year. >> many people say that. many people say that. they would agree with you. let's start with the satellite- radar composite where there is not much happening. it is quiet. i got nothing to show you. there are no clouds out there. no precipitation, no fog or anything like that. a fine start to the day. with the lack of cloud cover, of course, our temperatures, the heat that we got yesterday and we did get into the 70s, radiates out so it is cool. take a look at the current temperatures around the region. most of you are in the 40s. 48 in baltimore. in d.c. being they are reporting 58 degrees a little misheed wrfght of the area being in the upper 40s. 57 at participation. forecast for washington for today, mostly sunny skies, a mild afternoon, 76-degree. if you like that kind of weather, will like the next three or four days. i'll she that to you coming up in just a littl

let's say good morning to tony perkins as well. >> it was nice yesterday. >> very warm. got up to into the upper 80s, 88 degrees at reagan national airport. today will be warm but not as warm. we'll get into the 80s, most of us, but it will be the low 80s as opposed to the mid and up upper 80s. some of you had some overnight thunderstorm activity late last night and during the overnight hours. all of that precipitation is now well off to the north an east across the northern portions of maryland. nothing happening right here in the washington area although now there is a little blip showing up on the radar. i'm looking at our hd radar. i don't see anything there. there couple of showers up to the north. actually rain. i won't say showers but rain up to the north and east. current temperatures around the region. we are in the 60s. 64degrees here in washington. 67 at dulles. 65 in baltimore. fredericksburg is at 60. frederick, maryland is at 63 degrees. your forecast for today, another warm one, not quite as warm. partly sunny skies with some scattered afternoon showers, m

tony perkins is with us. >> it is a moist start to the day, a little bit breezy and cool. kind of like waking up in london this morning. let's look at the current temperatures around the region. we are only in the 50s this morning right now, washington, our temperatures dropped off to 53 degrees. 53 out in annapolis. 5 # at dulles airport. pardon me. 52 in frederick. let's take a look at hd radar. -- 52 out at dulles airport. not etch is seeing some rain but most of you are at this hour. more rain off to the west. this rain is coming in from the south and east and moving up to the north an west and will continue to do so not just during the course of the morning but during the course of the day today as well. here is your forecast for today. overcast with rain. it will be breezy and a much cooler day. shouldn't say much cooler. we were in the 60s yesterday. but today, we went -- we won't get out of the 50s. in d.c., 58 should do t that is cool. >> the rain will make it feel a little bit cooler. >> and the breeziness. >> thank you. >>> let's check in with julie wright to ge

. >> and it is time now for a special edition of ask the weather guys as the great tony perkins and i put our enormously large heads together to answer your questions. >> today, we are asking the questions. me is why. new james webb space telescope, the successor to the hubble being will be able to peer farther back in space and time than wave ever been able to see before. joining news from the god tarred space flight center in greenbelt, maryland is am amber straughan, the lead scientist. did i get your last name correct? >> that's right. >> thank you so much for joining us this morning. we've been mentioning this. this telescope is scheduled to go up in about 2014. we've been mentioning that it can peer farther back in time. we are explained this concept relatively recently on the show. i don't don't know that we did a good job of that. we are not going to look back and see abraham lincoln walking around or is disciples or anything, right? >> we will see a last farther than that. just to put it in context. everybody knows and loves the hubble space telescope. it has revolutionized o

we'll say good morning to tony perkins. >> happy to see you. we have cool conditions across the area. we are going to see a rather pleasant day today. it will be breezy and we can not rule out a stray shower later today. not bad though. the satellite radar, we have got the nor'easter that brought us rain showers yesterday that has pushed off to the north and east appropriately enough. we have clouds over us this morning. i think we will see a fair a sunshine for part of the day, but clouds are definitely going to be hanging around. i think we will see thicker clouds during the afternoon hours or maybe some of those showers that you see out to the west there, maybe some of them may make their way through our region. not many, but some could. >> current temperatures, 52 degrees here in washington. so it's cool out. 50 at dulles, 48 in baltimore, 50 in frederick and 50 in fredericksburg. your forecast for today we're going to call it a partly sunny day, breezy. winds out of the north ten to 15 miles per hour. they could gust up to 30 miles per hou

. -- we say good morning to tony perkins as always. >> today will be a calmer day. we are getting off to a cool start. still wet out there t will be wet for a while with all the rain that we got yesterday. the rain is moving out of our region as we speak. let's take a look at radar. we'll show you how things are shaping up this morning. a completely different story as the rain showers. still a lot of rain out there but it is all off to the north and east and continues to push north and east. you can see there are a few more showers down in southwestern portions of virginia. i can't rule out another couple of showers maybe in the morning hours. here are the current conditions being reported at reagan national. current temperature, 62 degrees. relative humidity, 84%. it is still breezy and will be for a good part of the day. here is your day planner for today. morning clouds, a few more sprinkles and showers here and there. then the rain ending. it is ending as we speak as a matter of fact. gradually, i do think we'll get some sunshine a little bit later on today and

let's say good morning to tony perkins with a look at that forecast. feels nice so far. >> not too bad. we are seeing a few her showers pop up right now right mere baltimore. let's take a look. we'll start with graphics and show you the radar images. can you see quite clearly as that rain begins to pop up right there just north of washington right around baltimore including a little bit of heavy rain to the east of baltimore. so we'll keep our eyes on that. wave been watching the rain showers move across northeastern maryland but now, that is extending down towards the washington-baltimore area. so we'll cape our eyes on that throughout the course of the next few hours. right now, reagan national airport reporting a temperature of 65 degrees, relative humidity at 78%. winds are out of the northeast at sick your forecast for today, partial sunshine. there will be a fair a sun but more clouds building in as the frontal system begins to make its way through here. our high today, one again, above normal, not as warm as yesterday. we'll be in the low 80s to

tony perkins is here as well. let's say good morning to him as well. >> good morning to both of you. not a bad start to the day. >> we have to stop saying not a bad start to the day. how about a good start. >> it is a good start to the day. much cooler, that is the main thing you will be noticing today. we'll start with the satellite- radar composite for the region. if the way of cloud cover, there is not much going on there. there are a few clouds coming through the area. more clouds down to our south where there is some precipitation as well across the carolinas. not here. we have ahad a cold front come through. that will usher in cooler, clearer air for today. here is a look at the current temperatures around the region. we're in the 50s for the most part. 59degrees here in washington. 55 in baltimore. 55 out at dulles airport. frederick, maryland is at 50 degrees at this hour. your forecast for today after a cool front has come through. we'll see lots of sunshine and a much cooler day yesterday into the 80s. t

in fact, prominent social conservatives like tony perkins and mike huckabee have complained over thes. what jim demint did by coming out and talking about this, what others have started to do is if you can't beat 'em, join them. they've been unable to get the tea party to stop the tea party's momentum. and so now they want to co-opt the tea party's message. because the bottom line is is that the movement itself, the energy in the conservative movement is around the tea party, which is about limiting the size and scope of government. i mean, jim demint calls himself a limited government conservative, yet his idea of a limited government is one large enough to be policing the sex lives of our public school teachers. i mean, the idea is completely and totally insane, and it completely flies in the face of what the tea party movement stands for. >> do you think you're going to get a chance to vote for on the republican ticket for president next time a candidate who does not pander to this wing of the republican party? >> look, i think that we're going to have a lot of great candidates in

let's check in with tony perkins to get a look at the forecast. >> it is a wet forecast. we've got rain across the area and nothing like what we had last week. don't worry about that. we do have light to moderate rain showers and cool temperatures across the region as well. it will be a cool day. take a look at your current temperatures. here in the district, we are at 52 degrees now. 5 # in annapolis. 52 down in quantico. let's see. how in winchester, it is also 52 degrees. -- 52 in annapolis. the precipitation is mainly light to moderate rainfall. what's happen something can we go to hd radar? there you go. can you see some rain showers. a couple of spots of heavier rain but for the most part, this is light to moderate rainfall across the region. here is your day planner for today. it will be cool today as we go to max 2. we'll see cool conditions across the region. do we have max 2? our temperature are going to be in the 50s today. rain, cool, breezy as well. that is a look at what is happening with the weather. more coming up later. >> you know it will impact the traf

the first came from john cornyn, as you know, went and spoke to log cabin republicans and when tony perkins of the family research council objected cornyn wrote him and said "part of my job is to reach out to those committed to defeat senate democrats this november. the log cabin republicans," that is gay republicans, "are doing just that." governor mitch daniels said this about social issue "the next president would have to call a truce on so the called social issues. we're going" meaning republicans, "going to just have to agree to get along for a little while until the economic issues are resolved." are social issues off the table in. >> no, and both the gentlemen are friends of mine and i work with them on many issues, but i would say with all due respect on this, they're absolutely wrong. i would say that governor mitch daniels you know, it's not our side that has declared war on social issues. i would love to call a truce on it. the reason the social issues are in such play so many years is that others have declared war. there's a major movement going on in this country that changed t

. >> reporter: some conservative advocates, including tony perkins of the family research council, say they want the policy to stand as is. >> this would be detrimental to the military's mission at a time when our military is stretched. this is not the time to begin a radical policy change. so, i think the fact that this judge is essentially saying she knows better than military leaders what's best for our nation's military is very troubling because that actually is a threat to national security. >> reporter: in the meantime, a pentagon review of how to end "don't ask, don't tell" is still under way, and due for completion in december. >> warner: for more on all this, we turn to mark thompson, "time" magazine's pentagon correspondent. mark, welcome back. so parse this for us, the new order that came out today. there was a briefing. what uses s this going to mean in practical terms. >> basically margaret, we're going back to the status quo ante with one big difference. from now on if you're a gay person, they want to kick you out, it's going to take the service secretary to sign off on

. >>> and check in with tony perkins. accurate when it comes to knowing what is going on out there. >> and i'm not going to worry or stress about it. >> good. >> you're right. >> and if we say 79 and hits 81, is that a bad thing? >> not a bad thing. >> a great weekend across the region and start by showing you the current temperatures at the area airport and that is a cool start to the day. 55 degrees at reagan international airport, dulles, 46 degrees out there and bwi marshal coming in at 50 degrees. temperatures across the united states, pretty much what you would expect them to be and that is 40s and 50s for the most part, 60s in albuquerque. miami, the warm spot, of course and that degrees from and look at the eastern u.s. and rarely do you see it this quiet and nothing is happening in the eastern u.s. because of a large dome of high pressure sitting there and prohibiting the weather from developing under it and that is going quiet. not just here but across the eastern u.s. the next few days and your five-day forecas

we have tony perkins with the forecast. >>> the weekend looks calm and comfortable. very nice. we will show you in a bit. let's star off with the satellite/radar. we -- let's start off with the satellite/radar. we have a mix of clouds this morning. the nor'easter that brought us over 1" of rain is now moving across new england. we are seeing some of the cloud cover. we will get a bit of breeziness from the system as well. we have clouds across western maryland. none of those have made it in this morning. we think in the afternoon, we will have a chance of a shower or two popping up. temperatures are cool out. 51 degrees out in washington. 46 in baltimore. 47 at dulles. the forecast for today showing partly sunny and breezy. winds gusting up to 20-30 miles an hour later. stray showers are possible. the high of 66 degrees. we will have more coming >>> 66 '66 is a very good year for me. and hopefully my parents. >>> let's go out on the roads with julie. >> it is busy out there. we have the lanes partially blocked at north capitol street. traffic is squeezing by to the left. the po

let's check in with tony perkins and check on the weather. >> it is not a bad forecast. it will be a warm one today. maybe record-setting heat in parts of the area and warmer than yesterday. let's look at what is going on out there. we'll start with the satellite radar composite. not much to see. there are clouds here and there. there have been a couple of blips showing light sprinkle here or there. but for the most part we are dry. and in fact i think most of that activity is wrapped up. a couple of clouds here and there but we'll see mostly sunny skies for the bulk of the day today. currently our temperatures look like this: 63 in d.c., 60 at dulles, 63 at patuxent naval air station. there are cool spots. 57 in frederick, and 59 in baltimore. your forecast for today, expect a lot of sunshine and a hot afternoon. highs today in the mid to upper 80s in parts of the area. we could set some records, although i don't think we'll set a record high in d.c. the record here is 90 degrees. that's a look at weather. now for an update on traffic we go to julie wright. >>> we're ch

. >> let's head over to tony perkins who has a pick-me-up. >> yes, i do. and it's better than i am. it's time for the my first 5 photo of the day. >> you were right. >> look at this. i love these kids with the redskins gear. this is amazing how tiny they make it. this is cheyenne. she's getting ready to cheer with daddy. >> look at that baby. >> and keep her cheering dad because maybe that's what took us over the top yesterday. we need her cheering all season long. >> she's decked out, like the leggings and the bib. >> she has the attitude too. >> with the little typier, the little onesie. adorable. >> she's very cute. thank you for sending that in. to send us your child's picture, just go to myfoxdc.com and click on mornings. let's look at the graphics. we start with the current temperatures around the region. we remain at 52 degrees. 52 in washington. 52 in leonardtown. dulles is at 51. baltimore is 50 degrees and in manassas it is 50 degrees at this hour. here is a look at the satellite radar composite for the region. what we are seeing right now is -- here we go. old on. the com

. >> and tony perkins is in place to tell us about this wednesday. >> i've been in place for minutes.okay. >> satellite radar is what we're going to start with. i'll show what you is going on out there. i agree with you, nice and crisp and pleasant and it makes the fall tolerable. today we have clouds and temperatures again below normal but we have changes coming. it's a mixed bag this morning. you saw some sun breaking through here and there. the moisture that we're seeing is out to the west. i don't think much of that will makes it way in here. we have seen some showers out towards winchester, front royal, places like that. it's been light rainfall just a little bit. most of the rest of the area has been dry and i suspect that will be the trend i would not rule out a shower or two later on today about that's about it. there is your area of low pressure. this is the main thing impacting the weather in the northeast and the mid-atlantic. current temperatures around the region. we remain at 54 degrees here in the district. 51 in annapolis. gaithersburg is at 48 degrees as it manassas.
