notice these thunderstorms you see around washington, d.c. if they stay on track, they are forecast to come into our area like the city, the metro area, 9:00 at night so sometime around that time. big picture shows you, you cannot rule out a chance for wet weather for your day tomorrow and then the cold air is going to be filtering in behind it could make some of that wet weather into snowy weather. i'll show you how that works out. here you are at 8:30. some bouts of heavier rain from baltimore and washington make their way in but they are spotty. 3 a.m. the colder air is in place. some snow flurries well north and west. then you get to your day on saturday. okay? in the morning hours in comes another system and here we are later in the day and there's a snow chance. it's not definite but there's a snow chance that clears for sunday. right now the models are hinting at the nam saying 0 to saying anywhere from just a couple of tenths to maybe 4 for sparta. i feel comfortable telling anybody you could city a coating it 3 inches for anyone in our area. 50 on friday. i think the mets will play. 44 on saturday. there is the rain-snow chance and again all that snow could be just rain. but i think you're going to get snow mixed in. 45 on sunday. again looks like we're cold next week but the following week we'll do better. >> promise?
