gaithersburg is 54, dulles is 61. look at manassas down in the upper 40s now. winchester is 64 degrees. the wind is blowing a little bit out there. some of these spots where the temperature has really dropped the wind has died off. where you're seeing the temperatures a little bit warmer, hagerstown, winchester, elevation difference and wind is keeping them warmer, but they'll eventually fall off into the 50s before it's all said and done. reagan national today almost 80 degrees. we'll be there tomorrow. dulles 77, bwi marshall in the 70s, too. look how much heat there is back out west of us and this is what is feeding our heat, too, the next couple days. st. louis 83. when you look to st. louis this time of year and you see them in the lower 80s and this weather pattern, good bet we'll be right in there for tomorrow here in the district. that's why our temperatures will be up into the lower 80s. 91 for little rock, dallas 85, wichita, 90 degrees. this surge of heat goes up into the northern plains, minneapolis almost 90 and there in south dakota another day wi

gaithersburg, already to the 50- degree mark. 54 frederick. hagerstown 52. quantico 56. most areas in the 50s. look at pittsburgh now, 48 degrees. columbus 54. the cool air all the way down to raleigh, 60 degrees there. actually most of the east coast, just about everybody. even east of the mississippi is a little cooler than normal. look at chicago 57. st. louis 63. little rock 69. how often is it the case that dc is cooler than fargo, north dakota? they are at 70 degrees right now. international falls 68. big area of high pressure right up through the nation's mid section. that's where all the warm weather is. there's a trough of low pressure out west. that is allowing cooler temperatures there as well as the cooler temperatures for us too. this pattern is going to be slow to move. so we will be kind of stuck in this cool patten the next several days. tomorrow with sunshine and 64 degrees. more clouds on wednesday and a few showers. we are back down to 63. thursday looks like we slowly turn the corner with more sunshine. temperature gets up to 68 degrees. on friday we

then another area showers, light showers just to the west of gaithersburg. we'll continue to watch those between frederick and gaithersburg out there right now. as far as what we're going to be seeing throughout the rest of the day. this area of low essure continues to sit and spin. it isinally starting to move to the east. as it does, things will change for us in a big way. look at the temperatures. 57 in buffalo. 64 in new york. but look back here to the west. 77 in st. louis and in chicago. 72 toward atlanta. all of that warm air will start to move our way as th area of low pressure starts to move off to the north and east. in behind it, nice weather. high pressure building in. and then i think we're just going to see a fantastic stretch of weather right on through the early portioof next week. so what can we expect for this evening? mostly cloudy. on the cool side. a sprinkle possible. 56 to 60 degrees. don't be surprised if a couple those sprinkles are on your windshield. for tomorrow morning, clearing skies, sarting off cool. but warming up nicely. 43

centreville is 43. 46 gaithersburg. college park 52 and mason neck 46. look for sunshine for a while this morning. 54 by 9:00 and mostly cloudy this afternoon. highs in the low 60s with a stray shower possible. it is 4:31. happy tuesday. >> back at you, howard. >>> good morning. hope you are off to a great start already. right now 0 no surprise some construction. 95 an the bw parkway, okay. watch for it around 198 and powder mill and 32. let's take you to the beltway in maryland. everything is all clear out here. no problems to report. the live conditions here at university. keeping things going, we take you to construction in virginia. we want you to know in fairfax, southbound 29 an hartland road you are losing a right lane due to ongoing work. everyone here is moving okay. hardly have anyone out on the roadway past duke street and 95, before that, we are looking at a one hour drive out of fredericksburg past dumfries to the mixing bowl. >>> later this morning, fairfax county police plan to interview a man they found severely hurt at a metro station pa

we'll describe it as chilly, winchester will probably head down to 41, gaithersburg 41, showers well in the distance to our west and north. i don't think we'll see them tonight, fredericksburg 46. tomorrow i think we'll head up to 61 in frederick. we'll have some sunshine during the day, but clouds will build up in the afternoon. d.c. 64 degrees, fredericksburg 64 degrees. so clouds in the afternoon, maybe a hit or miss shower here and there and that lightning you're seeing will be well in the distance, believe me. so your forecast for tomorrow, let's talk about what you'll see. we've got an area of low pressure that's been slow to move out, but we do believe that process will begin tomorrow afternoon but a lot of cold air aloft and then the warm sun trying to make those parcels of air rise up and will produce a deck of clouds that could likely produce a shower here and there tomorrow afternoon. it will get a kick from this approaching front. the sun will be back thursday and it looks like things will be warmer by then as well. only a few showers mainly in the afternoon tomorrow, spo
