Yd a state of emergency has been declared in virginia. Ared a tornado was reported in there town of waverly which is whi i southeast of richmond. On three people including ading toddler were killed there. He a man was killed afte after a funnel cloud. Clo storms caused flooding inoodin maryland and d. C. Maryland a there are Power Outages but crews have been workingor overnight to restore those Power Outages. And we said it earlier, gary, it is definitely the calm after the storm as holly mentioned. Yup morning. One thing that surprised me u yesterday the extent of theent t storms that went up into thein t northern and northwesternthwestr suburbs. Bu thats what thats the onehe thing that really surprised mepd yesterday. Not the extent of thet of t tornadoes or anything liketh lik that because we could see thatee coming yesterday. Thats why we kind of made ofad such a big deal out of theou t chance for some severe sev weather. Listen, were all the stormtm has basically passed and werenw kind of waiting on the windsinge top start kicking up which whi they l already starting to seego some winds kicking up back to the west. The west well talk more about that moret through the morning hours. Urs. Gaithersburg is 48 degrees. 8 ee look how mild it is. D it in the city were 53. Baltimore is 53, too. Now, to be perfectly honest with you, temperatures today tod are going to be real tricky t because were going to warm upam to an extent and then were going to start cooling off this afternoon. Well call for temperatures to m be i think well cool off alo little bit over the next few nt hours and then well warm upen r again. So, well go for temperaturesema generally low to mid50s for f a time today. Just keep in mind that latert l on today the temperatures willte now. Look at new york city. Y. Its 56 and you think thatsts crazy, boston right now is 61 degrees. Deg so, its a lot warmer inr boston than it is in richmond rn at 48 there and you notice the e colder temperatures on thetures other side of the mountains or basically the western side ofes the storm. Were on the warm side of thedeo storm here obviously were on the warm side of the storm. Sto big snows back out through the midwest and of course weved had all the severe weatherofsevw thats passed on by. The weekend forecast, isecas i something to look forward tofod here. Re 46 degrees on saturday. Atda that has not changed. Cng a few clouds i think possible on saturday. Atury. 59 on sunday. So, weve inched that a little l closer to 60. 59 degrees for a highigh temperature. Ure. Listen, some of you will be over 60 degrees, lower 60s onn sunday and some of the guidance is suggesting that well be even mid 60s out 60s there in places so we might m just continue to inch that up a little bit over the next bitrh couple of days. D storms off to the east now riding all the way up into newp england. Thats why boston is so warm war now. Theyre getting the warm airr ahead of the storm. Storm center of the storm is out ofs t ohio dragging in all the coldd temperatures. Te still a lot of snow is fallingal from michigan all the way down into ohio indiana and wrappingna around into west virginia. Ir as the storm is turning andning moving to the northeast, it will drag in the colderin t c temperatures for us. So, today were basically icly well basically haveasicalave temperatures up into the 50ses5 or so before its all said andd done and once we get into theet lower to mid50s temperaturesem will come down in the afternoon, okay. N, o so, there is also a, ere possibility of a few showersrs later on this afternoon. Afterno mostly sunny tomorrow and 43. A4 46 with a few clouds on saturday. Darn near 60 degrees onn sunday, mostly sunny there and well be in the lower 60s on monday. Thats the last day off february. Bruary. Were in the lower 60s. 6 then were 54 on tuesday and t were back up to 60 middle to 6l parter of next week. Xteek. So, pretty mild stretch hereetch for the next several weeks.
