westminster, 32 a 23 for dulles and martinsberg and while these wind will diminish after midnight once the front gets on through, they will pick up tomorrow afternoon with wind gusting 25 to 30, instead of out of a humid direction, they will be out of the west, which is a drying direction. that takes the humidity way down for tomorrow. and gets our temperature in the mid and upper 70's during the afternoon. i wanted to show you the wind gusts with the south winds watch the arrows, as we go closer to mornings, you can see winds starting to change direction, maybe gusts 15 to 17 miles an hour. by the noon hour, starting to pick up and by afternoon, they're starting to get a little bit strong again and that can help to pump our temperatures up. the fox 5 accu-weather seven-day forecast
