and looks like it's sticking for the weekend. >> everybody else has to deal with it, too. it is positively soggy out there no matter where you go. and we have more weekend rain. this next little system, again, is just going to come right down here into the mid atlantic. the midwest is going to sit here this weekend. and there's some indications, i'll tell you this right now. there are some of the models that we look at that want to hold this storm system in for the next several days. most of them think after the weekend is going to get out of here. but there is a couple, we call those outliers, that think we can still be in the clouds and showers and cold temperatures through maybe tuesday, wednesday of next week. we're going to go with the forecast that suggests it gets out of here quicker. we start off with a look at the radar. that's our live radar. now here's i-95. west of i-95. at least for the evening hours, it's going to be dry. there's a chance for showers overnight tonight after midnight. but if you are east of i-95, charles county, that means you st. mary's county, that means you, too, and on up into the extreme eastern parts of prince georges county, anne arundel county, and jumping over the bay. that's where this line of showers still moving through. and notice it is drifting to the east. the individual cells are kind of moving up to the northeast. it's a slow mover. you jump the bay over here. there's a lot of lightning for southern maryland, moving over into southern delaware there. western delaware and eventually this will go across. our friends in ocean city that watch bethany beach, end up getting wet as well. temperatures out there right now, 71 here in town. gaithersburg 64. dropped off the last hour. frederick still at 66. hagerstown 64. right along i-95 for those communities, temperatures are dropping into the lower 60s. curcher cumberland into the 50s. the cold front is moving through and that is what is bringing in these colder temperatures and you go up to the north and northwest, pittsburgh is chilly, 52. detroit is 47. columbus is 50 degrees. this is the air mass for us tomorrow. now, we won't be in the lower 50s, or at least i hope not. if we are in the lower 50s, the forecast is going to be incorrect. it's going to be really, really crummy out there tomorrow. we should be upper 50s to lower 60s for the weekend. and that means tomorrow and sunday, there's a chance of showers tomorrow. it will be breezy, too. it's never going to feel much like 60 degrees and with the rain falling in places, it will be downright miserable if you are outside. sunday, i think a little bit more sunshine. we are still going to be chilly and showers even on sunday. this is future cast tonight at 10:00. line of showers and thunderstorms out to the shore. we watch this because this to the northwest is the storm system that is kind of moving in for the weekend and tomorrow morning at 9:00 a.m., some showers for us. your eyes do not deceive you. this is snow out in the upper elevations. probably won't accumulate to much. above 3,000 feet, they could get wet snow mixing in with the rain. a drying period. but tomorrow evening at 5:00, we have a good chance of showers. widespread around the region. had a little bit better on sunday, but we have a lot of rain pin wheeling around this system. even on monday, we are still calling for clouds and a chance for showers. doesn't look like a lot of rain. for us, maybe a half an inch of rain accumulated. more towards the north and to the northwest. mostly cloudy overnight tonight. a few showers possible. here's what it looks like tomorrow. we start off in the low 50s. we'll warm up into the upper 50s. very little, if any sunshine tomorrow. passing showers will be the rule. and that is pretty much the same scenario on sunday. a little better on monday. but the storm system gets stuck, monday's weather goes downhill and we postpone the dryer weather to late tuesday and into wednesday. stay tuned. >> two weeks straight? wow. >> you are what you tweet. researchpeople tweet happy tweets in the morning and at night. j.c. penney understands you don't
