10:49 pm
because yes, friday is fantastic, enjoy it, a sunny warm day, probably warmer than today was. i bet we get into the mid-70s. we've been saying we need rain. i know you don't want it on the weekend, but beneficial showers possible saturday. there could be a thunderstorm in the afternoon. it doesn't look like they will be severe and not all day, but some rain. i'll show you the timing in a moment. there's a second part to the weekend forecast and a separate rainy system that could affect us sunday. i've got to tell you the sunday storm looks like it's trending farther east which means less rain for us. so what rain we get sunday will depend on the track of the coast air force base but the trend tonight is for this to maybe affect -- track of the coastal, but the trend tonight is for this to maybe affect us a little bit, sunday dryer and cooler in the low 60s. today bwi getting up to 70 and
10:50 pm
dulles 69 degrees. tonight we'll find our temperatures dropping, but slowly thanks to the fact that a wind from the south is developing and that's going to keep us not very chilly tonight. our current temperature as you saw here, 62 degrees. we're all over the place when you look at the east. it's still pretty warm east of the mississippi. you get up towards chicago where they've had a lot of rain today it's 45 degrees, international falls 41. we get the warm stuff, but eventually this cooler air will get in here for sunday and probably for monday as well. so we'll be all over the place like we have been this april. tonight it's clear skies. all the clouds push down to our south. here's one of the reasons why chicago is so chilly. we have an area of low pressure moving through the great lakes and i want to get in closer to show you that there's some snow up there, too, in parts of michigan and they're also going to see this moving through wisconsin. green bay is about to get some wet snow passing by. cold enough we can still see that happening in april. around here that's not in the
10:51 pm
cards for us tonight. we'll probably drop to 50 or 51 degrees, some 40s in the suburbs, but a few spots, more than a few, staying near 50 degrees overnight. we'll watch for clear skies and perhaps a little fog later tonight. a great day tomorrow, sunny, mild, at least 74 degrees, maybe warmer in some spots, but we start off chilly at 57 with a bit of fog. by noon we're up to 69 degrees, lots of sunshine and by 5:00 73 and a mild friday night. i think a lot of outdoor tables will be booked tomorrow. quantico could get to 72, manassas 73 and manassas 76 degrees, but as we look at our service map with high pressure off the coast bringing us in the south wind, that's why we have the nice day. frontal system approaches saturday, brings in showers, potential for a thunderstorm. that will probably linger through the afternoon. i wanted to quickly show you the futurecast because a lot of
10:52 pm
you have soccer practice saturday morning. friday is dry. we'll see clouds increase friday night. it looks like saturday morning is dry. if you have things to do outside, that's the time to do it. by 1:00 or so we start seeing showers coming in, maybe line of thunderstorms along 95. by 6:00 that movings out, but our next shower is -- moves out, but our next shower is tracking east for sunday and significant rain just missing the east coast. we'll continue to watch that trend. i'll feel better about that sunday forecast by tomorrow as we see one or two more runs of the guidance. tomorrow looks like the best day of the next several, rain badly needed saturday, 74 degrees. i'll show you how much rain we could potentially get coming up on the news edge at 11:00, but only 62 for sunday. tonight the capitals helped draw even with the bruins in the 1st round playoff series. >> but they'd have to do it without their top playmaker. sports director dave feldman is
