It looks like most of the rain will by pass our area. And again, we really do need to see it. Out there right now, just the temperatures have been on the cool side today, but right away average. Average high now 53, were at 52 right now. Temperatures dropping, but not much. Even by 7 00, down to 51. 50 overnight tonight. And temperatures may actually rise toward the morning as it next storm system moves our way. 48 currently in gaithersburg, 51 toward quantico. So cool, but not cold for this time of year. Were right around average. What is not average, the amount of rain that weve seen. Average since september 1st, just over the past couple of months. And that puts us in a moderate drought. D. C. , parts of northern virginia, most of maryland and abnormally dry back to the rest. So we really do need to see rain and we will see a little bit. Radar is try right now, but widen out and back to the west you see this storm. And this is a big storm bringing snow toward the dakotas and look at the amount of rain from chicago all the way down to the south. Some very heavy rain down towards areas of memphis they are in extreme drought conditions. Now, that rain will move our way, but unfortunately, the area of low pressure is a little too far away and that means for us were not going to get biggest impact. Lets take you through will. This. Tomorrow morning, expect showers early for the morning rush. Heaviest back toward the west. 1 00, light showers around d. C. , toward 6 00, but this is just periods of shower most of the rest of the area.

But in the metro area, maybe a quarter inch to a third of an inch. That may be about it. So that is something we will continue to track for you.

Abdul Razak Ali Artan drove over a curb and into pedestrians just before 10 00 this morning. Touchdown who is also making new allegations of voter fraud. He says millions of people in several states voted illegally and that is what cost him the popular vote. Our senior Political Editor is here to give us his insight. Mark murray will get to the recount in a second. But first, mark, is there any indication when the president elect will announce those big cabinet picks weve been hearing about and what are thanksgiving holiday and of course i think what everyone is waiting for is that eventual secretary of state pick. The two frontrunners are former new york mayor Rudy Giuliani or mitt romney. Outsiders want giuliani, but so that is the real battle. So help me out here. Al gore cut about 1200 votes off george bushs total in the florida recount back in 2000. Donald trump won wisconsin by 27,000 votes. What is the point here . You know, i think the point is just for some people who really believe in the integrity of the elections, they say there is no hurt in actually doing a this. And thats what the green partys jill stein has ended up doing. So on the one hand, there is no harm in actually recounting them one more time. But as you mentioned, in wisconsin right now, the margin is more than 20,000 votes. And it just seems impossible to turn that over. Final margin in florida was 5237 votes. Talking about 20,000 votes in wisconsin or 10,000 in michigan or nearly 70,000 in pennsylvania, it just didnt seem possible mathematically to be am to overturn those results. You might make up a few hundred votes, maybe even 1,000, but that is probably about it. So what do you make of trumps claims that millions of the votes were illegal and that it cost him the popular vote . What is the point of his making that claim and is there any Donald Trumps skin that he came out on the short end of the popular vote. Of course the Electoral College is what won him the president. But that tweet yesterday was in the context of losing the popular vote saying maybe i would have won it had it not been for the millions of illegal votes. But there is no evidence that there was some massive voter fraud that occurred in the country at all. And that is very important to kind of knowing this. So when donald trump ends up saying therewere millions of illegal votes, there are no baskets to back that up. All right. Mark, thank you. And keep it right here as this story develops.
