Ill have your sevenday a man who doesnt stand still. But jim has afib, Atrial Fibrillation an irregular heartbeat, not caused by a heart valve problem. Th utat ps jim at a greater risk of stroke. For years, jims medicine tied him to a monthly trip to the clinic to get his blood tested. But now, with onceaday xarelto®, jims on the move. Jims doctor recommended xarelto®. Like warfarin, xarelto® is proven effective to reduce afibrelated stroke risk. But xarelto® is the first and only onceaday prescription blood thinner for patients with afib not caused by a heart valve problem. That doesnt require routine blood monitoring. So jims not tied to that monitoring routine. [ gps ] proceed to the designated route. Not today. [ male announcer ] for patients currently well managed on warfarin, there is limited information on how xarelto® and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. Xarelto® is just one pill a day taken with the evening meal. Plus, with no known dietary restrictions, jim can eat the Healthy Foods he likes. Do not stop taking xarelto®, rivaroxaban, without talking to the doctor who prescribes it as this may increase the risk of having a stroke. Get help right away if you develop any symptoms like bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. You may have a higher risk of bleeding if you take xarelto® with aspirin products, nsaids or blood thinners. Talk to your doctor before taking xarelto® if you have abnormal bleeding. Xarelto® can cause bleeding, which can be serious, and rarely may lead to death. You are likely to bruise more easily on xarelto® and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. Tell your doctors you are taking xarelto® before any planned medical or dental procedures. Before starting xarelto®, tell your doctor about any conditions such as kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. Xarelto® is not for patients with artificial heart valves. Jim changed his routine. Ask your doctor about xarelto®.

Thats a great story. It reminds you what the season is supposed to be. The selflessness that they could be so thoughtful in spite of their own drama. And life continues. Now were in the spirit weather wise. Beginning to feel a lot like christmas as they say. Weather wise, its nippy out there. I got a report from shirley out of old town, maryland in western maryland. Snowing pretty good out there. Weve had some flurries in frederick. Well have snow showers in spots. If we get any rain showers, theyll be south of d. C. But theyll be cold rain showers. Our forecast, day planner, mostly cloudy skies now after the sunny, calm start. Temperatures i dont think temperatures are going to move much more with the clouds, the snow showers. 42, not 44 for the high. Somewhere where we are right now with rain and snow showers here and there for the next few hours. Then this evening the temperatures drop off and some colder air moves in. Weve got 31 by 9 00. Thats not including the winds. We have winds which are going to gust to 25 miles an hour over the next few hours so wind chills down in the 20s and 30s. Had the rain yesterday. Thats out in the atlantic. Look at this band of snow showers from kentucky and southwest virginia all the way up toward williamsport. This is whats coming across western maryland now. So places like the valley here picking up an inch or two. Not a lot of snow but theyre also making snow. They lost a lot of snow pack at the ski areas last weekend. Theyre building it up now so give it a day or two. Will be in much better shape the second half of the week. Doppler 9000, we have snow showers and flurries from westminster. This is snow, not rain in frederick. With borderline temperatures, they struggle sometimes but even stretching now down into northern montgomery county, damascus, clarksburg over toward dickerson, tuscarora, urbana seeing some of that. Then you have the second batch of snow showers from hagerstown down through just about the martinsburg area coming out of berkley springs there, across the 522. Theres berkley springs. Out toward Cross Junction in northern frederick county. This is approaching martinsburg as i said. Charles town, jefferson, brunswick. Then go down further into the valley from winchester through straussburg out to front royal to woodstock approaching the blue ridge, we have more snow showers there. Then well to our south, south of culpeper now over to orange, perhaps a couple of spring hims moving off toward the east. That will be the case for the afternoon. A few rain and snow showers and windier conditions than what we had this morning. Look at these gusts. Gusting to 25 in oakland, the winds are. 23 in leesburg. Over joint base andrews and also at easton. That just means its a really chilly day with temperatures now at 41 in d. C. 35 in hagerstown. Got the wind, the showers around you. 43 culpeper and 37 in leesburg. Outside on our weather camera, mostly cloudy. It is dry at reagan on. But feeling like 33 with that wind out of the north, north west at 15. And a lot of cold air. Boy, look at the shot of cold air. International falls up to zero. They were 34 below this morning. Missed the record by 1. 6 in chicago. The cold air is coming down for tonight and tomorrow but with the storm system here in the northern rockies, Northern Plains moving west to east, its going to kick that stuff out of here quickly. So well get it tomorrow with highs tomorrow in the 30s but well be back above 40 by friday. So a couple of rain or snow showers. Probably more snow showers than rain showers this afternoon. 44. Up north, though, youre staying in the 30s. Tonight 25. We clear out. Well be 19, 20 in the cold spots out to the west. 36 tomorrow but lighter winds. It will feel better on Christmas Day.
