Thats our live michael and son. Downtown hovering, dew point in the low 20s, barely dry air mass. Winds out of the north at 13.

Temperatures in the suburbs in the 30s. 36 in bethesda. 36 in reston and fairfax. 38 in springfield. 39 in waldorf. 35 at andrews. Satellite picture radar combined, heres one storm that is going to roll across the lakes, upper ohio valley and into new england and verge with the second storm down to the south. And in fact, this is becoming a hefty storm. Look at all the heavy rain denoted in yellow, red, across coastal sections of louisiana. This is going to take a great track right off the coast. A great track and normally you think wow, got to snow, right . Not quite. Our cold air will be lacking. There will be cold air available to the north of us. I dont think it will get down here until the precipitation lifts out. For tonight, no worries. Clouds will come in by dawn, though, on thursday. You do end up mostly cloudy tomorrow. A bit colder tonight. And a mix is possible well north and west thursday night. By that, we mean i81 corridor, not in the metro.

A bit colder than today. High temperatures around 40. Winds now easterly at 10 to 15. So the next three days, no real problems tomorrow, but we made, obviously, friday, we had this for a while. A yellow alert day. The rain, the wind, and a miserable day. 44 for a high. Theres a slight chance some of the precipitation could end as snow north of town on friday night. Well keep you posted on that. Breezy and chilly on saturday back in the low 40s. But then, milder air rolls in. We are 50 on sunday with sunshine. We are in the 50s on monday with some rain and showers. A break on tuesday. And more rain and showers on wednesday with highs again in the upper 40s. So, in terms of how february seven days could go, thats not so bad. Lets get to the weird news file because they call them the human suitcase. What we believe to be poland where check out this guy, he is really, really broke, or he wants a free train really, really badly. The ticket inspector is on the way, but he is in the overhead luggage rack to avoid them. He hides behind the spread out suitcase there. And he apparently gets away with it, because this video was uploaded to youtube last month, complete with what we are not hearing, which is james bond music. Its enough to make him start collecting tickets before you get on the train. Like they do every other mode of transportation there is. Yeah. Have to stay thin. Yeah.
