again 33 in gaithersburg, 34 in leesburg, 35 in manassas by this time tomorrow. then by 9:00 we're back in the 20s in the suburbs north and west and around 30 down as far south as la plata. wind gust tracker, 8:00 tomorrow, this may be overdone, but you get the idea. these are winds out of the south and west, 26 mile-per- hour wind gust is possible. by 1:00 winds could still gust 20 to 25 and by 6:00 winds from the northwest gusting over 20 miles an hour. they will subside tomorrow night. for tonight clear skies to partly cloudy skies and cold, low temperatures 24 to 30, winds southwest at 10. by morning mostly sunny and cold, 24 to 42, winds picking up after about 9:00 or 10:00 southwest 10 to 15. by afternoon it will be breezy but not as cold, high temperatures 40 to 45, southwest winds become northwest winds 10 to 15 behind the front. the front goes through dry. oakland will have flurries, only 29. jump the divide, 37 in cumberland, 40 in hagerstown, martinsburg and winchester, mid-40s for culpeper, low to mid-40s for warrenton, manassas, 43 in leesburg, bluem

we get into saturday night, 17, leesburg at about 7:00. let's jump ahead now to sunday night into monday on our futurecast. clouds in place 9:30 on sunday. we'll put this into motion. here comes the motion. yes, the arctic air is leaving, but at the surface is where the problem is going to be. the magenta is freezing rain. falls as liquid and freezes on contact. probably won't see a flake, could be icing in the morning monday, thus the yellow alert for the morning commute. tonight clear, breezy, very cold, late wind chill 0 to 10 above and low temperatures 8 to 18. those are actual temperatures. on the day planner temps don't go up much, 19 at 11:00. this is full sun and 22 with sunshine at 1:00. the next three days, we're looking at some afternoon high clouds on sunday, 38, but a pretty nice day sunday and morning freezing rain on monday, yellow alert, temperatures back to around 40. i think the warm air will win, but freezing rain during the morning commute. next seven days, dry and cold on tuesday, snow showers possible wednesday and th

futurecast 10:00 tonight already 19 in gaithersburg, 21 in leesburg and manassas. single digits early morning and back up to 10 in gaithersburg, 11 in leesburg, 12 in manassas, 13 in la plata. these are not wind chills. by 1:00 tomorrow, upper teens and low 20s in full sun. winds will subside tomorrow afternoon. so while it will be very cold, it will not be windy. by 6:00 we're in the teens again in the suburbs, but low 20s in d.c. 8:00 mid-teens gaithersburg, manassas, culpeper upper teens headed for the low to mid-teens again tomorrow. futurecast, widen this out a bit. sunday at 9:30 clouds in place and temps right around the freezing mark and by 6:30 in the morning monday you see the magenta there. that is freezing rain. this is not a snowstorm, nor a classic ice storm, but that said we're still very concerned about the morning commute on monday, thus we've issued a yellow alert. not concerned about snow, just a freezing rain event. so tonight clear, breezy, very cold, late wind chills 0 to 10 above, temps themselves bottoming out 8 to 18 above. day planner 16 a

leesburg lower 40s. maybe 43 in reston and mcclain. 40 in andrews, maybe 45 as you get in to charles county and southern maryland. and the temperatures are still pretty uniform. 34 in annapolis without any wind to speak of. so there is not a small craft advisory. now we'll break it down, these are city temps. 32 to start. you'll be in the 20s to start. 34 at 9:00. and 42 with the sunshine at 1:00 p.m. okay, so on saturday, yellow alert, no surprise there, mainly rain with a little bit of snow and the polar plunge fest that will be so cold and miserable. but a good cause. 40 for the high. 44 and pleasant on sunday. but then the clouds are return. next seven days. the reason why the clouds were returning on sunday is because of a clipper approaching our area from snow showers possible on monday. i'm not sold on the track of this just yet that they might dive up to the north. but in the wake of the clipper, much colder on tuesday and wednesday lower 30s. sunshine next thursday and back in the mid-40s. >>> t
