this morning, patchy frost up in western maryland and northern frederick county. got a report there. it was the tin roof on the barn. not so much the grass blades. temperatures upper 30s. 37 winchester. but no frost there. 38. and 39 even in manassas. 41 in dulles. we haven't been this cold since may 14th. currently, 67 but with light winds feels great. 59 in cumberland and even across the bay low to mid 60s. 70 to the south. outside on our michael and son weather camera, lots of sunshine. a beautiful 67. look how dry the air is. the humidity down to 42%. north wind at 8 miles an hour. it's great outside. high pressure coming in out of the detroit area. chilly air coming down behind the storm system. we've got the cool stuff. we're watching the moisture that's going to be trying to lift out of the gulf coast. into the southern ohio valley. but with that high pressure behind the storm it acts like a block. it will get into kentucky, maybe west virginia by tomorrow afternoon/evening. for us especially south, that's it. the bigger concern will be into sunday/monday t

baltimore and just west into the frederick zone, it's a late october surge and then as we go to western maryland, of course, it's an early october, even late september peak out here. theset up we have now, clear cold nights, that is a recipe for bright fall colors. low 50s out there tonight, it's cool, it's dry and it is quiet on the weather front. how long can this hold up? several more days at least and probably a solid five additional days. we've got one weather disturbance and a second one crossing the deep south right now south of kentucky into tennessee and northern alabama, but this system is set to sweep south of us. we have a bubble sitting over northern pa and that's keeping the mild, dry air coming and helping to kick this out to the east and we sit dry as a result. the dry, clear weather holds up through the day tomorrow. you see that disturbance down into the southern states continuing to stay to the south. oneinteresting factor will be as that system moves offshore and joins with another area of energy, it's possible this can spin into quite the offshore storm as we go from thursda
