Currently temperatures coming in in the mid to upper 30s. 38 degrees in washington, 34 in frederick and right around freezing back in winchester. Partly cloudy skies right now throughout the day today, we will have a mix of clouds and sun and again it is going to be pretty blustery with a High Temperature around 43 but that feels more like 33 this afternoon when you factor in the winds. As we look to your weekend outlook, planning to go out for new years eve we will find temperatures in the mid 40s to 30s and keeping it dry if youre going to be outside for an extended period of time, bundle up, gloves, hat, a good idea. Same thing for the redskins game. The game looking mainly dry expect toward the end of the rain showers moving in, you might want to pack the poncho. Traveling this weekend its looking good but we will have plenty of clouds around especially on sunday. Lets take a look at the next ten days. Windy today, a high of 43, a few degrees warmer tomorrow, still breezy, especially during the afternoon hours, the winds are not going to be an issue on sunday with a high of 51. Mostly cloudy skies. As the redskins take on the giants here is what you can expect at fedex field. Temperature around 50, by 6 00 upper 40s. Really not bad for early january and by 8 00 p. M. We are in the mid 40s but there is the chance for some light showers at that point. Rain looking likely on monday, showers now looking likely on tuesday as well but look at the temperature jump here on the ten day, we go from 50 on monday to 60 on tuesday. Still mild but dry on wednesday. So you can get out and enjoy it with a high of 61 and then, guys, look to next friday with a chance for a little bit of a rain snow mix especially west of full weekend in january we will have High Temperatures in the upper 30s with partly to mostly cloudy skies.
