Here in the District Police have stepped up patrols on the metro system. The extra officers were dispatched shortly after the news. City leaders say there is no credible information about an attack here. They are hoping the increase in security will make the Nations Capital a less attractive target. We stay focused, obviously a Transit System has been attacked. We look at all of our top, what we think could be target areas and make sure they have the resources and visibility they need. I think for the general public you will see an increased visibility, both uniform officers and cars and other equipment out. But theres a lot of things that we do that are not visible to the public and are intended to not be visible and i think that goes for all forms of security. You can expect to see the stepped up security for the immediate future. No warning how long it will last. Passengers coming in and out of dulles tonight could feel the extra security.

In january 2nd men from woodbridge, virginia, they were charged with attempting to provide Material Support to isis, and just last week another man in alexandria surrendered on the iraqi Turkish Border after desserting isis. He produced a virginia drivers license as id. The United States is an enormous target for isis. Its the country that it would like to attack more than any other. Fortunately so far its not shown the capacity to do so, but theres absolutely no doubt at all theres one target above all that they would like the United States. Washington, d. C. Is target within that.

We are back with an urgent warning from the World Health Organization its that the zika virus could soon become a Global Health crisis.

So the expectation across the americas as a whole is many more thousands of cases. Korea reported its first case of the virus. Guys you might want to pea attention to this one. Health Officials Say man flu is because women have two x chromosomes, it makes them hypersensitive. Women also produce extra antibiotics, and men are more susceptible to burial and viral infections.

Have you ever wondered, you probably have, but think about this. How much of your tweets worth . Theres a South African Company that created a calculator that reveals the financial value of your messages. According to this calculator each of katy perrys tweets is worth between 57,000 and 70,000. By the way, i think she is the most followed person on twitter. She is indeed. By the way we also decided to test it out ourselves. Found out this particular account right here, this will get me between 40 and 45 tweet. For me my tweets would be between 35 and 45. Sue palkas on the high end. 45 and 55 per tweet. Compared to katy perry though, were small potatoes. Do we have to retweet information . What it sounds like is the company, somebody can go to say sue we want you to sell umbrellas. If sue sends a tweet out try these umbrellas. Note to self, tweet more often. Hopefully we wont need umbrellas any time soon. You wont need them until friday morning, maybe again on monday. The next couple of days guys, so tweetable. You can see they need another day but when they are referred to as being at peek, it means 70 of the blossoms are out. It looks like 50 to me but it doesnt take much to get them going and craig actually said that during the blizzard of 2016 he would shut his eyes and dream of the Cherry Blossom festival to help him get through the winter. So yes, it is gone fast and now its Cherry Blossom time and the next few days are going to promote a lot of you to get out there and enjoy it. The workweek is going to end with a little bit of rain. We think that will be primarily on friday morning. This frontal boundary thats going to come through will get us cooler by the time we get into friday and saturday. But easter weekend still looking really great. Its not going to be as warm as the next two days will be, its a bargain for march. Sunday also dr, there may be some rain late at night into the first part of monday and that may affect the white house easter egg roll. That is something well be watching. But tonight were watching temperatures stay a little bit warmer than they were last night. Last night at this time we already had places below 32 degrees. Everybody in the 50s tonight with the exception of annapolis at 49. Wont be quite as cold tonight. Winds did get a little bit breezy this afternoon and theres still a little bit on the breezy side but follow the direction of the arrows. Theyre coming up from the south and that means were going to be staying on the warm side. A high of 73 degrees, i dont think were going to break the record unless something goes really wrong with my forecast. Its a real old record, 93 degrees set in 1907. Were mentioning this because thats the alltime high for that month of march. Tomorrow that 73 is going to feel great. Thursday also about 76 degrees and again were thinking that an into friday will really be holding off so that thursday is a great day to get down and enjoy. Weve got a little bit of snow and rain shower activity moving up to our north. We will see a little bit of this high cloud cover coming in later tonight and tomorrow. High, thin clouds around for a beautiful sunrise. Bermuda high. Its literally a High Pressure system centered over bermuda that warms up us nicely. We see this pattern in the summer and when we get it in march and april it usually is a comfortable temperature. Here is that rain we mentioned will be coming in early on friday. But i think the afternoon clears out nicely and were back to sunday shy and breezy conditions and temperatures pretty decent. Overnight we have a low temperature expected of 48 in dc, 45 for dulles, 48 for quantico, 46 for frederick and again a few high clouds coming in no where near as cold as it was. You can see some of those clouds behind me and a few high clouds what youll notice is that lovely warm breeze, that temperature as the warmth returns to the area. 73 for quantico, 66 for annapolis, a little cooler near the water. Leonardtown 72 and gaithersburg 71 degrees. A look at your weekend, still on the dry side and we think High Pressure is going to continue to rule on saturday. Nice easter, but this is the system that well be watching that will come in, we think very late sunday overnight and bring us perhaps a little bit of rain for easter monday. Your fox 5accuweather 7day forecast. Two days in the 70s and a run of days in the 60s but every single one of those days is above average for this time of year. A little bit of rain friday, maybe a little rain monday and our temperature on tuesday right around 62 degrees. So pollen ought to be flying tomorrow so everybody take your antihistamines.
