4:49 am
days to enjoy so the timing is good. 61 at dulles. 61 in gaithersburg. culpepper at 61. 59 in winchester. if you notice, there is quite a bit of humidity in the air and that is translating to a little bit of fog with the calm winds. be aware patchy fog could be a possibility but i don't think it will limit you. culpepper is down to a third of a mile, so watching that closely. two-mile visibility in manassas so some spots will see that fog. the wind has a westerly component today so we will stay in this warm sector. we have this very potent cold front across the nation's midsection today and that will likely trigger severe weather in minnesota and iowa. that is going to be heading our way. about the same time, the tropical storm will come up from the northern gulf coast and likely make a hook to the right. karen now producing winds 65
