to wonder is this october or early december. in fact, we could even see snow in the mountains over the weekend. but things are still growing in some of the gardens and we want to remind you at my fox

to be fun elling into town as we sgoe -- funneling go town as we go to the weather map. high pressure is going to start that process. about 20 degrees colder tomorrow than it was today. and this cold sayre going to hang around for -- air is going to hang around for the rest of the week. we're going to be watching a little rain that i showed you on true view right before the break. that will get into town late tomorrow night. most of the day tomorrow will be dry. showers could be coming in around dark or shortly after and hacking around off and on -- hanging around off and on for the next several days. i also want to let you know it will be cold enough that a frost advisory has been posted for the mountains and washington county, parts of the panhandle of west virginia, down west of interstate 81. watch for the scrapers tonight. you could be getting frost out there. and in the white areas which go all the way up to pennsylvania, that's a freeze advisy. so you're going well below three it degrees in the -- 32 degrees in the area. so the leaves out to be changing but the growing season just about over now. especially for areas out to the west. in spite of this, we still hit 73 degrees today. a little bit breezy. and, in fact, we're still seeing breezes out there. dulles at 22. we've had a front go through. the cold air is now kind of draining into dc. and it will be a little bit on the chilly side tonight. we are in the 50s. headed for the 40s. in fact, probably 45 degrees here in the district. we're already seeing a lot of 40s and 30s now up to the north, and that's the kind of cold air that will be supplied to us over the next several days. specifically i think 39 degrees for martinsburg. west of martinsburg it could be colder. 42 for a low in gaithersburg. 44 for manassas. columbia ought to drop to about 43 degrees. and that's just the beginning of what we think will be a fairly cold week. so instead of 73, tomorrow's high only 54. thursday only 49. that's not the low. thaingz the high temperature. -- that's the high temperature. friday 50. the rain doesn't get going until thursday. the clouds around today as the frontal system was coming through, but a lot of sunshine too. a very pretty day. the clouds will thick en towards morning and later in approximate the day some of the rain we're seeing out here to our west will begin to roll into town. and will is also a huge storm affecting california. they're going toet 2-6 inches of rain. especially central and southern california. future cast, what about rain for us. showing the clouds that will be around during the day tomorrow. it looks like showers will hold off until very late but we'll have a few around at this time tomorrow night. we go into thursday and we're talking about off and on cold rain, mostly showers. not the heaviest stuff. but it's possible that this stuff could turn itself into a coastal area of low pressure and that would affect us throughout the weekend as well. and so that means we keep rain in the forecast on a daily basis. again, 54 tomorrow with any showers developing later in the day. probably after 5:00 or 6:00. but wouldn't be surprised if there were a few around for the evening rush hour. thursday 49 and then we keep that nasty pattern. he is cancelling the golf plans. i hope it's not right. i don't want to get
