fake or not, that's a lot of shovelling. >> yes. you're right. even by their standards, it's pretty tough. now, as far as we're concerned we are looking at the coldest november day since 1959 and temperatures running, if you factor in the winds, as much as 35 degrees below average. take a look outside and temperatures downtown 32. look at the dewpoint. minus 1. that's pretty low. that is a dry air mass. relative humidity 24%. that's low for us. wind westerly at 15. the winds are going to die down, which is great. that will take the windchills up. but if the winds die down with this kind of an air mass and clear sky, temps will fall like a stone, especially after midnight. 32 right now. 28 in leesburg and 32 manassas. 24 hager town. 25 martinsberg. you factor in the wind and this is the

dog late it will be in the mid 20s across the board. good news is winds will die down a bit. by morning 22 leesburg. i think these are actually high. 25 downtown. if the winds stay up at 15 miles an hour, we will keep in the 20s tonight. either way, coldest so far across the board. tomorrow afternoon a few clouds will come in late ahead of a cold front. temperatures back into the mid-to-upper 30s. that's it. 5:00 about 24 hours from now we are still in the low-to-mid 30s with a few clouds. not going to produce any snow or anything. just clouds rolling through. by 7:30 temperatures low-to-mid 70s. wind gusts tomorrow a little bit more as we get into tomorrow evening and tomorrow night. wind gusts to 30. i think this is a little bit overdone. suffice to say another breezy afternoon. won't are breezy tomorrow morning. it will get breezy in the afternoon and the evening. so for tonight clear and very cold. coldest so far. 14 to 24. winds west-northwest at 10. dulles' record low high tomorrow 38. i think we are going to break that. i think the record low tonight at dellis is 20. i think we are going to break that, too. but the two records at national 33 for the record low high, 18, that's safe. 23 tonight for a low downtown, but 16 at dulles. 16 leesburg and 19 fairfax and 19 in rockville and about 19 in college park. so again coldest so far. day planner. 29

we think a weak el nino. there was a weak el nino the winter of 2002 and 2003. we got a lot of snow. over 40 inches at national and over 50 inches at dulles. but the totals can fall the other way, too, if the supply of cold air isn't there. for example, the el nino of 2006-2007 resulted in less than 10 inches of snow downtown and under 15 inches in the suburbs. so here is the wusa 9 prediction for this winter. we are calling for average to below average temperatures, and average to a little above average snowfall. our area usually gets 10 to 23 inches of snow a year depending where you live. we believe there will be 15 to 30 inches of snow in the d.c. metro area this winter with more to the west, 30 to 50 inches, but up to 60 inches in cumberland and less in southern maryland. somewhere in the range of 10 to 15 inches. okay. so the first snow i'm predicting 12-12. >> that's an inch or more. can you get then on our website. actually, they are not too far off of averages. the cumberland average is 60 inches. that's again for the entire winter. if it snows in april, it goes to that. >> can we hold you to that date, 12/12? >> you were very close last year. >> all right. we are looking at the coldest november day, november day since november of 1959. let's take a live look outside at our weather cam. temperature right now downtown 32, but it's in the 20s in the suburbs. the dewpoint 1 below zero. as i explained to the kids today at brooks cheney middle, the temperature is 32. if you kept everything constant, cooled this air mass to one below, you have 100% humidity. the reason i said that, and i said it to the kids today, we will be watching the doumit -- the dewpoint very carefully. it gives you an idea how dry it is. with winds diminishing it's going to fall fast. 27 in chevy chase. 32 downtown. most of the suburbs in the mid 20s. if you go outside, it feels like it's in the teens. it's going to be kind of cold for a jog. can you do it, but put a scarf around your face. 17 windchill in winchester. 11 windy in cumberland. winds diminish ton. bus stop temperatures 14 to 30. those are the not windchills. those are straight temps. cold on wednesday. we hold in the 30s. we will call thursday, although quite frankly that's cold with temperatures in the 40s. our average high is 57. 8:00 tonight mid 20s. 25 manassas. 24 leesburg and gaithersburg. by 10:00 things don't change much. i think these temps a little high. 23 in hagerstown. upper 20s downtown. by morning i think we are going to see teens in the morning. right now we are going to show on the futurecast low 50s. i think we will see plenty of teens in the morning. the winds die down, you guys really fall. by 8:00 still in the 20s. so the kids need all kinds of hats and gloves at the bus stop. and then a few high clouds will come in tomorrow afternoon. not going to produce anything. just ahead of another front. low-to-mid 30s. 35 downtown. 32 in gaithersburg and also manassas. and notice the winds now from the south. so ahead of the front we get a southerly flow. doesn't warm us up too much tomorrow, but we should make it up freezing. at least in the mid-to-upper 30s. so tonight clear and very cold. coldest so far. 14 to 24. winds die down west-northwest at about 10. record low tonight in dulles is 20. i think that's in the bag. the record low high tomorrow is 38. i think that is also in the bag. 20 tonight for a low in bethesda. 19 rockville. 19 in fairfax. 16 in sterling. 16 leesburg. these are straight temps. 19 in college park. we are looking at 20 in buie and 23 by the water. your day planner. we are in the 20s downtown until 9:00 and 33 at 11:00. 35 with sunshine at 1:00. now, on thursday we go back in the mid 40s. still chilly. and then cold again on friday. only 43. again our average high is 57. next seven days finally 55 on saturday. that's a pretty good -- that's a golfable day. 64 on sunday. upper 60s monday. showers late. still 59 on tuesday, which is seasonal. we come back, oh, i love game night. ooh, it's a house and a car! so far, you're horrible at this, flo. yeah, no talent for drawing, flo. house! car! oh, raise the roof! no one?
