temperatures by the time that precip gets here are going to be that critical range, once again. now, we're at 41. pretty nice. west/southwest winds at 5. dew points low. 41/22 today. the average is 42. and 20. the record, 72 and 5. around the region, 39, 38. 41, 42. mid- to upper 30s. you can see, just north of the area, with temperatures in the mid- to upper 30s right now. by the time midnight arrives, with any precip, it's going to be a real close call. that's why we think, from let's say, columbia, northern baltimore, northern harford, northern cecil. those areas north and west are going to see light, freezing rain. or light freezing drizzle, late, late tonight. and early in the morning. maybe a little snow as well. a little sleet mixed in. south of the city, nothing expected except just chilly rain. very light winds and they have been out of the south and southwest. keeping us rather mild today. this big rain chill. there's the snow in texas and oklahoma. the cold air is just drilled southward. right now, only about 25 in dallas with light snow beginning to end there. they had snow in central louisiana. they had flakes near houston. almost on the gulf of mexico. amazing stuff. further east and north. it's all in the form of light rain and rain. as i said, the bulk of this moves off the coast. and looks like tomorrow, by late afternoon, things begin to wind down. as the storm passes, it may just get chilly enough in the upper levels. might see a few snow flurries tomorrow evening before it totally clears out. one thing is for sure, it's going to be dry and clear sunday. there goes the low with warmer air. let's call it cool for the weekend. but not super cold. in fact, it will be a bit of a warmup before we get cold next week. northeast winds, 5 to 10 knots. tonight, later on, some light mix developing. and then just rain by dawn. 30 to the upper 30s to 40. anything the morning changes to rain very early. and clearing late in the day. or by early tomorrow meeiv -- tomorrow evening. upper 30s once again. >> getting used to it. >> it's not going to be that big of a deal. but late tonight, could be freezing rain. >> okay. thank you, bob. still to come
