. 51% relative humidity. south wind. we'll get up to 42 in the next hour. barometer has been falling at 30.00. around the state temperatures ranging from 36 in oakland to 41 toward cumberland. 34 hagerstown. 44 on the shore. immediate metro area 36 wister. 38 belair. we have 40 degrees columbia and rock hall. 43 kent island. 43 annapolis. winds are bringing in a milder flow. chilly. enough to sustain a snow flurry activity. without the help of the sun we'll rely on southerly winds to take us into the low 40s. we could squeeze that out over the next hour or so. much has been evaporating before it hits the ground. in the last hour we are seeing showers making their way from washington county over to frederick and carroll and baltimore county. the two systems we are watching, one behind the other, a quick clipper system moving across. there is one behind it we'll see move through tomorrow. there is another one behind it that will move through new year's day. they are all going to come through breezing by only bringing us as much as you are seeing today. no accumulation. as a matter of f

into the 50s with south-southwest winds. 10 to 20 miles per hour. at times gusting 20, 25, 30. those winds will put temperatures maybe even into the lower 60s south of town with a spotty light shower as we head into the afternoon hours. 54 by 8:00. 43 in reston this morning. in sterling and great falls. in college park, 46. lots of mid-40s, alexandria down to fort belvoir. 47 in baden. 45 crofton. and laurel, one of our cold spots right now at an even 40 degrees this morning. reagan national is at 45 with mostly cloudy skies. but some breaks south- southwesterly winds at 8 giving us a slight wind chill of 41. we've got the dew points which are holding now at 34 degrees. the air has become a little more moist. the real dampness in the air is with the warmth from detroit back down toward houston. 50s, 60s, even 70 in houston. look at all of the 20s and low 30s. this rain is coming up from texas through income kentucky up toward new england where it turns into snow in maine. it is just not a lot of cold air to work with. as has been the case the last several weeks, the storms continue t

the airport. winds out of the south at around 10 miles per hour. we're going to see another band of moisture come through tomorrow. so, not only unsettled today. we'll see more rain tomorrow and it will become a little more heavy and widespread. here's a look at your future cast. some scattered showers for the rest of the day. make sure you have the umbrellas handy. then you can see tomorrow early morning, we've got more moderate to heavy rain coming through. and then also cold front coming through which you can see the rain/snow line setting up wednesday night where i think it points west and north of town, could get a little bit of snow wednesday into early thursday morning. i think generally, one inch or less as far as accumulations are concerned. in the immediate d.c. metro area, not too concerned about that wintry mix. highs today though, check these out. 63 in downtown. 60 this annapolis. 64 in culpepper. same deal for leesburg. winchester also lower 60s. luray, 63. we should be in the lower 50s for this time of year. a lot of locations 10 degrees above the average high. next

bridge, easton and back through the naval air station a little mildler air. wind's have turned south on us and this souther labryses will not warm us up all that much tonight. it'll keep us from keeping much colder and into your day on friday. temperatures set up to get much warmer. that lights out breeze now that's making the wind chill more noticed. through the day tomorrow the south wind will work in our favor. i look for about 50 in the afternoon. around the city. i want to show you the regional picture. this is a disturbance off the great lakes, a little unsettled waiver coming through. enough to trigger the snow showers, again there is the back side of this, little boundary here. if it holds together yet you could see a few more flakes fly later this evening. it'll be cold enough. you can see most of the snow and winter weather tracking to the north into northern pennsylvania and upstate new york. chilly air hung out all day because that mild air while knocking on the door remained in virginia and the carolina's that. will move in and warm us up a solid 10 or 15-degrees, just a

a wind chill to discuss. wind out of the south and southeast at 5 miles per hour or less. by 7:00, we're back down in the mid-40s. by 9:00 tonight, that will drop off. we'll have a low about 40, maybe upper 30s in town with the mid-30s in the suburbs. more cloud tonights that tend to keep a lid on how far the temperatures will drop. we've been watching showers out to the west. as they get toward the state line, the whole area has been fizzling, losing upper level support. plenty of clouds streaming in. switch it over to doppler, light sprinkles now between newmarket and woodstock tracking toward luray. er coming out of moorfield as well. isolated sprinkles is the only concern we have. temperaturewise, these are the wind chills and not much cold here with 30s and 40s. lots of 50s, even near 60 in lexington. our local temp running in the mid to upper 40s. great falls is 45. 46 for haymarket and manassas. 50 degree reading in college park. crofton, 51. columbia, 50. upper 40s, montgomery county. much of prince george's county and even here in washington. reagan national sitting at 48
