Taking a live look outside.
Beautiful sunset there, which I know Jen loves so much.
Despite the weather, if it's good, it's bad.
Something that always can put a smile on your face, Ms. Jen Delgado.
Yeah, that's right.
You know, I just like my sunsets in the 8 o'clock hour, Sydney.
That wasn't good enough for you?
It was a good one, but I like it at like 8:48.
You know, tonight, 6:26, so it's happening pretty soon, Sydney.
But certainly, today was a nice end
to the afternoon after starting off so cloudy,
as well as a cool afternoon.
afternoon today we actually made it up
to the 60s here's a view outside this certainly looks
like fall and it feels like fall we check
the airports right now our temperatures are in the
50s we have mostly sunny skies
and soon we will have mostly clear skies throughout tonight and
that will allow those temperatures to fall
into the 30s we had a cold front that came through
yesterday brought us a little bit of rainfall
but we do have a freeze warning and this is in effect
until 9 a.m and this is also an area of a frost advisory
so that means temperatures tonight are
going to get near 33 degrees 32 degrees
and that means all those sensitive plants out there well
they are going to be in danger all right
so we look at the temperatures across the area
53 degrees right now in Gaithersburg 54
in Leonardtown we're pretty much pretty steady
throughout the DMV but we go to the north we have
the numbers already in the 40s Binghamton right
now 40 degrees 50 degrees in New York as well
as 50s across parts of the Midwest but look how much
we've dropped behind that front.
I love to see a temperature change, you know, either the positive or the
negative. But look at this.
They're 21 degrees cooler in New York as well as here in D.C.,
almost 30 degrees cooler than this time yesterday in Raleigh,
where high temperatures were in the
80s. Now, as we look at your conditions for today and the high,
it was actually 62 degrees. That
came in after midnight. We've been falling throughout
the overnight hours as well as the
afternoon. We picked up a little more than a tenth
of an inch of rainfall. And our peak wind,
surprisingly was actually 34 miles per hour
so we look at our satellite and our radar you can see
that clearing trend there is a boundary system
as well as that cold front now the problem is
we're going to be watching that because it has about
a 20 percent chance of development it will continue
to pull away but it's going to be kind
of hanging out right along the coastline close to North
Carolina but as we look at the tropics
and we track it for you it has as I said a 20 percent chance
of development over the next seven days.
It might throw in a few more clouds around as we go through
your Monday and Tuesday, but eventually it'll pull away
as we get into your Thursday and Friday. So
now we're going to talk about the temperatures.
I said going down like dominoes. We're going to be
in the 40s at midnight tomorrow morning.
Our temperatures will start off in the 30s, 37 for
a low in Gettysburg, 38 in Quantico,
warmer to the east of Interstate 95. And then we go into
Sunday afternoon. High temperatures near 60 degrees.
Some areas stuck in the 50s, but 60s not
bad. Monday morning when you're heading out the door,
we start to moderate a bit. Our temperatures
will be in the upper 30s as well as more 40s.
But as we look ahead for your seven-day forecast,
tomorrow afternoon, 61 for a high.
We start our warming trend as we head into your Monday,
partly sunny. Sunny and warmer on Tuesday, 68 degrees.
And then sunshine around through the
end of the week as long as that low pressure
system pulls away you can put away those
umbrellas for a while but you got to carry the coat
so it's a trade-off Sydney, I'll take it
I'm good with the coat over the umbrella, me too and thank you
