It's so hard to believe Thanksgiving 12 days away.
I know, I know.
I mean, where did the time go?
The weather is so cold, though, Jen.
Are we going to be calming down?
Do you see us right now?
No.
Okay, we just went to the graphics.
Do you want to come to us?
Yeah, why don't you come to us?
Yeah, come to us.
Oh, yeah, we're here.
Yeah, here we are. Now we can do the public plea.
Okay, now, Vernon, over there with that
shot. We'll give it a minute to set up. There we are.
There we are. There's Jennifer Delgado.
I'm here. It's proven. But, you know,
we have this conversation sometimes. You know, people
are asking about winter. You know,
we are still a couple weeks away, but the temperatures that
we feel right now, that's typically what we have for December 1st.
It was cold today. It was cold.
It's going to be cold tomorrow. Tomorrow morning,
it's also going to be another day with lows in
in the 30s.
Layer up.
We've got a warm-up on the way.
This might convince your parents to stay a little longer.
The 60s are coming back.
Vernon, do they want to see you too?
There you are.
Nope, they don't want to see you.
Okay.
They've seen enough of you.
I think we need to just see Jen.
You take it over.
We're going to do the graphics here.
Let's pull them up.
Take the graphics full.
All right.
So what we look ahead to right now is that big countdown
for Thanksgiving, of course, 12 days away.
And right now we look ahead.
And the weather is so quiet.
It would be ideal for Thanksgiving to be this week
with the clear skies and the dry conditions.
But as we look ahead for tomorrow,
another day of just breezy conditions.
It won't be as gusty as today.
I'd say about 10 to 20 mile per hour going gust.
But today we got up to 32 out at Reagan.
So we look ahead for us, a dry stretch in the forecast.
And as I mentioned, we are warming things up.
So here's the view outside out at Reagan Airport.
Dry conditions for us.
We checked the conditions out of Reagan, Dulles, as well as BWI.
Temperature 47 degrees out of Dulles.
It feels like 41.
And then 45 is the actual temperature at BWI.
And it feels like 39 degrees.
Yes, that chill is in the air.
And as we look at the numbers across the region,
we're in the 40s everywhere right now.
41 degrees Westminster, 43 Culpeper, 44 Hagerstown.
But what does it feel like for these communities?
It already feels like the 30s for Frederick as well as into a gate.
34 degrees in Hagerstown, 40 in Fredericksburg.
Now, our current winds are coming in from the northwest.
They're sustained 10 to 15 miles per hour,
and with that strong northerly wind,
that makes it feel cooler than the actual temperature,
and this is why we're getting this wind chill.
So these are the low temperatures for tonight.
We're going to drop it down to 36 in Manassas.
41 in D.C., 39 in Quantico, and then 32 degrees in Frederick.
So look at that, going to the freezing mark
in Frederick, 36 in Fredericksburg.
And as we look at storm checker radar, we are dry.
And luckily, we've had a dry day, but,
you know, I saw a lot of people walking around.
And then I also saw a lot of people just kind
of hanging out inside the coffee shops,
trying to stay nice and warm.
Now, as we look at satellite radar.
We have some snow, but it's all the way to the north.
This is that disturbance that has been spinning
and bringing in that cooler northwesterly wind.
Well, when that cooler wind moves over the lakes, again, we're looking
at some of that snow across PA as well as into parts of New York.
Now, as we go through tonight, we will be dry.
We will be quiet.
But I do think there's a chance we might get a sprinkle
or two tomorrow, but the majority of the area will.
be dry, so don't worry about that.
So we look at the numbers, 33 degrees in Binghamton,
as well as 39 Pittsburgh, 34 Beckley.
And then 43 degrees in Boston.
Basically, everybody is dealing with this cold weather pattern.
But as we look at your planner for tonight, we keep those 40s around.
And then tomorrow morning, 45 degrees at 8 a.m.
It is going to be 49 degrees at 11 a.m.
And notice that the moderate there keeps us dry.
But we look at the future cast.
And here's why we're mentioning that.
Notice as we go later on tonight,
trying to pick up a little bit of snow along the Alleghenies.
Clouds start to roll back in for us,
and then they'll be here tomorrow morning.
Then we go into the afternoon.
You see that green?
There's that chance for a few sprinkles to pop up.
Now, the air is still very dry.
It's going to take a lot to really feel
that rainfall and see that rainfall.
So that's why we're seeing just a few sprinkles possible.
Could we see a snowflake out of it as we go into the overnight hours?
Maybe a flurry, but overall, I think we're going to be dry,
and that goes all the way through Sunday.
We remain dry Monday, we'll have more sunshine out there,
and then Tuesday we're dry and we're also going to have more sunshine,
but at least those temperatures will
be a little bit warmer on your Monday.
So for tomorrow afternoon, there's your high 52 degrees in Rockville,
54 in D.C., as well as 52 degrees in Fairfax,
clouds and some sunshine mixed in,
and then through those southeastern communities.
We're looking at 53 for High La Plata,
53 for Prince Frederick, and then 54 for Colonial Beach.
The mountain zones are still going
to be running pretty cool for this time of the year.
49 in Hagerstown, and then 48 degrees for the high tomorrow
in Winchester, and 50 in Front Royal.
So we look at our wind chill,
and we already talked about the wind chill right now.
9.30 at night, 36 is what's going to feel like.
Dulles, 31 in Martinsburg,
but 28 in Cumberland, and then 34 in Manassas.
Then we look ahead in the overnight hours into tomorrow.
Wind chill values will be in the 30s, and by 10 o'clock,
we'll see those wind chill values in the 40s.
So the winds will start to lighten up
as we go later into the afternoon.
And then eventually, those winds will shift to the south this week.
And we'll have high-pressure building back in,
and then we'll see the 60s coming back.
But once we get this pesky low out of here,
that's when we'll start to see that ridging building back in,
which is already taking over parts of the Midwest.
Our temperatures will moderate by Tuesday.
We're forecasting a high of 59.
And then Wednesday, Thursday, Friday,
we're going to be well into the 60s.
So here is your...
Departure for your temperatures
as we look ahead for the next seven days.
Tomorrow still will be cool.
Then we look ahead into your Tuesday starting that warming trend.
Then Wednesday, Thursday, Friday,
we'll see those temperatures climbing by...
Thursday will have highs in the upper 60s and the same for Friday.
So it'll be nice.
Look at those temperatures across parts of the upper Midwest.
They'll be 10 to 15 degrees above average.
And then we jump ahead into Thursday.
That warmth will be felt across parts of Illinois as well
as into Nebraska and then into the St. Louis region.
So we look at the numbers for this time of the year.
Now, typically, we should be at 59 for the afternoon high.
Today, we only got to 53, but with those strong winds,
it made it feel so much cooler.
53 is the average for the start of December,
so we're more than almost two weeks ahead
of schedule with this cold air in place.
And then as we go through the month of December,
it drops down to 49 degrees by the middle of December,
and then January 1st, 46 degrees.
Well, so at that time.
We'll start to go back into the 5 p.m. sunsets.
But right now, it's just cold.
It gets dark early.
Today, we had a sunset at 4.56 p.m.
Now, here is a look at your seven-day forecast.
Tomorrow, 54, after an overnight low of 30s in the 40s,
and then we look ahead to your
Monday and Tuesday, more sunshine returns,
then we go into your Wednesday, that's when
the 60s return.
We'll see those numbers running about 4 degrees above average
by Thursday, very cool mornings.
Wednesday and Thursday morning lows in the mid-30s,
that means the lower 30s out in the
suburbs, even a few 20s, then we jump ahead to Friday,
high of 67 degrees with overnight
low 40 and then we look ahead to next Saturday.
So far, next Saturday looks to be nice, but the good news is we're just
so happy that the weather conditions right now are cooperating
because the last thing that travelers need right now
is bad weather to cause more problems.
So at least Mother Nature is cooperating.
Well, that is a look at your weather forecast.
Of course, we're going to have more right here on Fox Local with Shireen
and Kaylin and Vernon on occasion.
