Gwen Talbert joins us, of course, again this morning. And we're starting to see not only the breezes in the air, but the leaves are starting to come down. I heard some rakes in the neighborhood yesterday, so it's going to be that tune real soon. Getting closer to Halloween and you start seeing the leaves. Yeah, I kind of like that part of it. Well, it's pretty chilly out there, Tom. And the chill is on and not going anywhere anytime soon, so get used to it. We've got a chilly start to a very sunny day. That's the other side of the story, the sunshine, which is going to be sticking around. Forty-five degrees this hour with plenty of sunshine. Winds are coming in from the north at about 10 miles an hour. Those winds will pick up a little later, so a little bit on the nippy side. Ridge of high pressure, large and in charge, but also watching this little bit of disturbance here off the coast, which has the potential to become a nor'easter. Now, model's not quite in agreement just yet, so we're going to keep a close eye on it to kind of see what it does as we get closer to the end of the week. In the meantime, 32 degrees in Martinsburg, 31 at Cumberland, 38 at Hagerstown, 37 at Culpeper, Fredericksburg at 41, Leonardtown 46, but a cool 35 for Gaithersburg, and 36 for Westminster. We have cold weather alerts in place, freeze warning and frost advisory these expire at the nine o'clock hour they kicked in early pre-dawn this morning and if you have any plants hopefully in this area that you've taken well care of them because sensitive vegetation certainly at risk here as well as could cause some problems for some outdoor plumbing so keep that in mind all north and west of the Beltway so plenty of sunshine right across the board for today and it's going to be a day where temperatures are going to be below the seasonal average into the low 60s. Oh yeah, a jacket or a sweater for sure. I'll have more coming up a little bit later with that full seven-day forecast for you. Gwen, we thank you so much. Eight away for this Sunday morning.
