of days here, right on into the weekend. we've got some mild temperatures, cold temperatures, a chance for a little bit of snow, a chance for rain, a couple of other things too. out there now, a nice mild night. if you're just getting back in from taking the dogs for that walk, before you had to come and check out the winds out of the north at nine miles per hour. that northerly wind will bring the temperatures down. so will the clearing skies. 42 in warrenton. temperatures now are still about average or even above average for this time of year for high temperatures. as far as the rain is

i know for sure, this is going to be a weak one, not going to be a big system at all. i'm thinking flurries to the north, sprinkles to the south. no road issues. i am not anticipating any road issues at all. but could we see an hour or two of snow? that's something that i'm watching here, some of our northern zones. it will still be warm enough that anything would melt on those roadways. 47 degrees on monday. look what happens next tuesday and potentially heavy on tuesday into wednesday. 63 degrees for high temperature wednesday. this storm system again has a lot of question marks too. does it stay on the warm side or does it bring in some colder air? we'll have to wait and see about that as well. it does look like it will be a little colder behind us. this forecast is very, very
