counselors with a life connection counseling center say 50% of their clients are in recovery from interrelated affairs and one counselor said and i'm quoting here in the last three years we have seen an increase in internet affairs the whole affairs thing is off the chart. a lot of the blame falls on sites like facebook where it is easy to reconnect with old boyfriend and girlfriends, high school

madison agency. one of my producers told me about this site this morning and i was shocked. their slogan pretty much say it all. life is short, have an affair. and this site is essentially a facebook or e-harmony for people who want to cheat and you can't see it here. but they have even have an ashley madison iphone app. so all of you cheaters can get your infidelity on the go. i know you are wondering who uses the site? the 4 million members, that's who. 4million. the site has seen the membership double over the past year and it is not just men, female membership is up 30% in 2009 alone, but i tell you when i first saw the site i thought nobody is going to log on to ashley madison, 4 million members. that pretty much says it all. >> wow. now we understand why the tabs of private browsers have come up so the spouse cannot snoop on the cheater. >> holy molely. >> moving along. >> weather wise we are in for big weather changes. we will be flirting with 70 degrees this afternoon.

and west of town, likely you will be in the 30s by tomorrow morning. here we go. we are watching a few clouds early but all of this gray, which looks like clouds is actually a cold to the ground. one thing the satellite does at night it looks at the temperatures of the clouds to determine where they are and the lowest ones get confused with the ground. 43 manassas. that's the chilly spot.

subtropical jet, all headed toward us. this morning, pretty quiet. a system off shore and another front to the west. first look at microcast nine and you will notice the clouds are passing from time to time today. no big deal. as we get to tomorrow the clouds thicken up and may see rain south and west by afternoon and look at the mountains tomorrow night. we have a chance at the highest elevations to see a wintry mix up there. thursday morning and then by thursday more showers start to approach the region. i think it picks up on friday, saturday and sunday and we see that on the seven-day forecast. with temperatures after today just drop off 54 for tomorrow, with a shower possible. 51 on thursday with a shower and cold rain on friday, saturday in to sunday and 6:47. good
