All that and more coming up at 6 00. And a real weather roller coaster. Cool tomorrow and then very warm and then we come crashing right back down. Could see a winter storm next week. Well talk much more about it. Thats a nice shot and now your storm team4 forecast. Were looking at the forecast over the next couple days. Ups and downs. We have some great weather, some nasty weather. Weve got it all over the next few days. Right now its not too bad. Temperatures into the mid to upper 30s today. Right now were down to 36 degrees under clear skies. Winds out of the north at about 15 miles per hour. That northerly component to the wind always going to give us a cool wind. Windchills in the 20s. So its chilly. Already down below freezing, gaithersburg, urbana. Around 34 towards fredericksburg. King george, around 38 there. Temperatures are going to fall tonight. Well get below freezing once again. So we will see some slick spots as weve seen the last couple days, the last couple mornings but not a huge deal. Storm team4 radar all clear. No rain, no snow to talk about. Actually going to be pretty tranquil, pretty quiet as we move through the next couple days. I am watching a frontal boundary. This time a warm front is moving in. The region. Here are the clouds from that warm front. Its going to move like this across the area. Behind it its not just warm, its downright hot. Kansas today just shattering records. Up to 90 degrees in parts of the area toward western kansas and thats the kind of warm air we have moving into our area. By this time on saturday, temperatures will be some 25 degrees warmer than they are out there right now. So some very good numbers. Now overnight tonight it will be quite cool. Down to 26 in the city. 20 back to hagerstown and 23 in leesburg. Waking up to friday on a cold note. It will be rather chilly all day even though temperatures may be a little warmer than they were today. It will feel cool because of the cloud cover. 27 degrees tomorrow morning but then a lot of clouds during the afternoon. Temperature around 42 degrees. Most areas upper 30s to right around 40. As we move on through the day tomorrow, the impact still on the low side. No significant weather to talk about other than the fact that we are going to just be feeling on the cool side. So that forecast is low for that impact forecast and really we dont get into moderate or high until next week. This weekend is looking great. This weekend is also looking warm. And that sets the stage for our next storm system. Still watching next week. This is the pattern the next few days. That warm air comes to the midatlantic, down to the south. Very, very warm air, but tracking the jet stream here, weve got the northern branch. The southern bramnch, it producs a little piece of energy down to the south. Two branches come together down to the south. Now, where do they come together . How strong is it . Where does our storm go . Is it too warm . Is the storm inland, out to sea . Theres so many questions with this storm, tough to create a good forecast for this far out but the pattern is right for a storm. Rain or snow will be likely. Stay with storm team4 over the next couple days. We will continue to refine this forecast. Should have a much better idea by saturday night into sunday. Look at that weekend forecast though. 63 saturday, 60 degree
