continue as we go through the evening. you can see it. we've had lots of clouds out there as well. the temperature around 57. yesterday, we had rain, but at least it is not cold or chilly. humidity is 93, the winds are calm. visibility is reduced. we have about five miles of visibility. as you head out, take that in consideration. for today, we started off good. we had a little sunshine but then the clouds started to roll in the area. we went throughout the day, the clouds thick inned up. speaking of the rain, you can see this big green swath of rain. you can see a couple yellow up, just to the north of bel air, into harper county and you will need the rain gear even as we extend you into tomorrow morning. as we go in the afternoon, off and on showers throughout the day. the highs nice, the inner harbor around 70, 69 in annapolis. can you imagine if we had more sunshine. the temperature really would have soared. we'll have more of an easterly component to the wind tomorrow, we'll be in the 50s, the cloud cover will be around keeping the clouds, keeping the sunshine and the temperatures down. so as we look at the satellite and radar you can see this is working its way toward the east, toward us. as we go through the rest of the evening, we have a cold front, that's the culprit as usual, so this will slide in here as we go through the next several days, but again we have tomorrow, we have tuesday, and we also have a chance on wednesday for some rainfall across the area. the future trend showing you what is going on, doing a pretty good job of it as we wake up tomorrow morning, we'll have the rain really falling. it will be a rough commute, make sure to take it easy on the road. we'll see more of the same into tuesday. by tomorrow the temperature will be 53. again i emphasize tomorrow morning on the way to work, things will start to taper off, but not ruling out a chance for showers in the forecast and see possibility for showers, the temperature coming in around 45. the clouds will be out there. we'll have to wait and see if the rainfalls from the clouds. here is a check of the 7 day forecast here as you break out the pad and pen. i know you have big plans here. we see the rain in monday and tuesday, and by the time we hit thanksgiving, we are nice and dry with the temperature coming in about 54. noise and seasonable, we remain dry with temperatures in the 60s. late night tv, we have all seen the "seen on tv" products for next to nothing. they are supposed to make products easier. >> products like the style snap, easy as 1-2-3, but you have to ask yourself does it work? >> i'm hoping that style snaps will help me hem my children's clothes without taking them to the cleaners. >> reporter: trips to the cleaners take jill hack to the pack, whenever she gets her kids pants, they pays twice. >> if you buy a pair of pants for $15, that is what you can do for jeans, then it is $15 or $20 to hem them and they are not a bargain. >> a fast

leg. you pop it open, and you put one right here. and you put one right here. >> reporter: even with better instructions ryan's jeans proved troublesome. >> i don't think i'm convinced this is a wonderful product. they are all apart on my jeans. >> ryan gave style snaps the thumbs down even after following the instructions correctly. jill says while style snaps may be a worthwhile investment for lexy the product makes going the tailor appealing and less of a headache. >> i give the indrugses a "d" they were dumb. they didn't work well. they don't stay snapped. >> not exactly a ringing
