stretch across the area the next several days. 40% chance for rainfall tomorrow on christmas day about a 30% chance. then on saturday, an 80% chance for some rainfall. so that could impact the linc game with the birds and the redskins. as far as satellite and radar right now, we are socked in witness cloud cover. even a rumble of thunder down the shore. that activity offshore right now with that

will be in the 70s. then by tomorrow christmas eve at 6:00 o'clock, the cloud cover clears out of here and as we take a look at holiday travel across the nation for tomorrow, moving toward the west coast, temperatures in la tomorrow 60 degrees. so cooler there than here tomorrow. upper 60s in dallas. atlanta temperatures similar to us for tomorrow in the low 70s. but the bottom line it looks like we will have some airport delays not only tonight but again tomorrow with the clouds. temperatures take look. they're in the upper 50s low and mid 60s across the area and they'll rise we're looking at numbers only bottoming out around 66 degrees for the low temperature and look at the christmas eve extremes. the record low was three and our forecast for just smashing the all-time record highs of 64 degrees is 75 degrees. so just rewriting the history books across the area and look at that seven day forecast. it stays mild but it continues to remain unsettled across the area so no snow but we are looking at temperature that is feel a little more like spring. so i mean some folks like it but others are like, what is going on. >> some are ready for snow. >> that el nino pattern.
