wintertory mix. we're looking at these showers and i can't rule out maybe a passing flake or two. other than that we're not talking any accumulation with this here at all. and it is this frontal system that is the culprit and also in here i want to say we've had reports of some thunderstorms as well imbedded in this. so we have a whole mixture of all kinds of things as a result of this system. so we've got the winds to deal with, we've got the cold air to deal with. that arctic air is going to settle in, temperatures are really going drop. we've got freezing and subfreezing temperatures to talk about. so it's going to be kwoeld in the overnight hours. coldest period of time with this is going to be into sunday morning. we're going to see the showers with it tonight, as i said maybe zwrus a passing flake or two. behind it ridge of high pressure builds in but we have those strong north westerly winds that have already started. plenty of sunshine but don't be

very cold. not only do we have the winds and the dropping temperatures, we're going to have wind chills and that's what it feels like when you factor in the winds and the air temperatures. right now winds are gusting from 36 to even 59 mile per hour wind gusts. we've had reports of winds up to 66 miles per hour at dulles. reports of some downed trees in frederick county and in college park we've gotten a report of a tree down and somebody possibly being trapped in a car. very dangerous winds with this. we do have a wind advisory in effect tonight until sunday noon but we also have a high wind warning in effect tonight until sunday at noon as well. i want to say over the waters there is a storm warning and a gale warning in effect there. a lot happening tonight. here's the line right here. this is evident as to where that frontal system is. temperatures in the 40s ahead of
