a wind gust of 20 miles per hour. a big change and a short amount of time with the winds that are diminishing. clear skies, which will be allowing temperatures to drop to the coldest this school year. as you are heading out the door, make sure that they are bundled up as you'll need it on a day like this for tomorrow. it will be a bit milder especially because they won't be a big factor, but just as we are starting to work their way towards us. we're getting the milder temperatures along with the precipitation as we cannot win right now. 21 degrees already in gaithersburg. down to 21 in hagerstown. 25 in culpeper and 23 in manassas. it is bitterly cold everywhere and the temperatures will be continuing to fall overnight tonight. on sattewith the lake affect snow showers that we've had earlier on in the day have diminished as we're going to see the winds continue to relax as we head into the

overnight. but here comes the next storm system that you can see. by the time we get into monday afternoon and early evening, just high clouds that will be filtering on in. but right now it's in the coastal region as they will start to approach, great news for them that they are now thinking that they will not arrive until after the rush hour. the pink is indicating the wintery mix, which will not happen for us because the rain is going to arrive later on. and maybe in the higher elevations by about noon. but the beltway will be staying just wet. not white. however as we head into the afternoon and early evening hours on tuesday, as the rain could get heavy. so tuesday is a yellow alert day because of the possibility of the heavy rain for the evening commute. look at all the yellows, indicating the steady heavy rain and the heavier rainfall approaching from the south. starting to seat pockets of the heavier rain popping on through during tuesday night for wednesday morning. and then on wednesday, it could be a yellow alert as well because of the morning commute that could be wet again. but overnight tonight.

non-factor. the el nino will be involving waters off the western coast of south america. when that water gets warm, we'll see more coastal storms in the d.c. area. this year they are right in between. without the trends, it's the big pickings that will be slim to the basic forecast for the seasonal outlook. >> it's one thing that they are pretty sure about will have pretty big temperature swing throughout the winter. >> ouch times they're going to see the big stream cold temperatures. and the outlook, they're trying to summarize what will happen over that period, becoming challenging throughout the season. >> and we have had some of those extreme temperature erate the highest on monday. 34 was the lowest, which was
