My family and i werent house, when we saw how big the fire was and how fast it was coming at us, when we were leaving theres no way the fire is not getting to the house, the fire is you know, its your back doorstep. Its a scary feeling. The familys two horses were spared because they were sold the night before the fire struck. This time of year you get some fires out there. Because theyre coming off the dry winter and theyre starting the warm up and you get some windy conditions. And you know windy its been around here, even windier in the plains. We saw yesterday on cbs that they were there on the spot when one of the fires was extinguished but then the winds came and reignited the fires again. The fire may be out but you have burning embers in there. They can flash up again. Hey weatherwise, pretty nice around here. Windy too. In spots over 40 miles an hour.

Sunny and pleasant. Temperatur w afternoon. And our averages are still in the low to mid50s. So thats way above average. And the winds west southwest 15, 20 miles an hour and gusty. This evening got plans . Yeah need the jackets for the winds and temperatures with a near full moon in the 50s. Were gusting near 30 in town. Near 40 in martinsburg at 37 and petersburg and davis in West Virginia the higher country, look at at that wind gusts in the mid 40s right now but still a lovely looking afternoon on the michael son camera. 62 with that gust to 28. And the air is dry. So if you are doing any burning, think twice about it. Because with humidity at 22 , and wind gusting near 30, yeah it wouldnt take much to get some fires to spread. 59 currently in gaithersburg. And pax river. And easton. And baltimore. Wiretap 61 in fredericksburg up to of 1 in fredericksburg and in the mountains in the mid 40s in fair it county but you Garrett County but you know near 60 in cumberland.

We may get nothing from that on sunday. These are current temperatures in alaska near 40 below in fairbanks. 45 below in a town called rabbit kettle in northwest canada and it is just starting to sink south now. The edge of the arctic air in International Falls and northern minnesota only 7. So this is moving more east but the rest of that cold . That is going to drop southeast so were going to get colder and just waiting for this storm. You see this little spin here . Its coming through on this moisture on shore in the northwest. Once that passes its going to just drag the cold behind it. The first batch dragged south behind this little system producing the snow showers and the great lakes and parts of ontario. And helping to push the front through that gave us the gusty wind and the showers last night. So on the futurecast, the fine afternoon. Another mild to warm day on thursday. Ahead of this developing system. So this will push temperatures well up in the 60s tomorrow. Friday morning, if you are traveling late thursday night friday morning, i80 in pennsylvania may be in towards southern new england, several inches of snow here but for us well have showers to start friday morning. This front comes through pretty quickly. So that our highs will be early in the day. Maybe in the 50s but eldress for 30s because thats i would dress for 30s because thats the windchill on friday. Then into the weekend cold air in place and this system that weve been watching looks like its going to track way south of us. So im not that concerned about the threat for snow on sunday. Although believe it or not, im watching another system next tuesday. 68 today and breezy and mild. 40s tonight. Tomorrow, breezy and mild and back in the 60s. Early highs in friday. But again, dress for the 30s with the windchills with some morning rain or possibly even some snow showers. Over the weekend, cold. Saturday and sunday. Hey you lose an hour of sleep this weekend. This is the shortest weekend of the year with the time change. And then that chance for rain or maybe even snow on tuesday. We got more coming up right after this.
