is the recreational be tension to take national wildlife refuge the storm destroyed two parking lots there and carved new inlets into this at the repair work will cost about eight hundred thousand dollars but the refuge doesn't have the money to pay for the repair so the lots are closed indefinitely little bit of rain across the area today just generally couple hundreds in most spots. now you can see pretty nice evening and is building certainly very significant looks like about ten miles or so as i look at the latest observations and the sort of just confirms that we got some clouds around we've seen some breaks of times we're that over the past few hours we've been watching some of the rain that was around earlier today basically fall apart and continue to move off to the east in the atlantic ocean. compare right now to yesterday and we are down and down hills bought twenty three degrees of virginia beach twenty two colder than yesterday in chesapeake. only five fifteen nineteen from smithfield over the areas of the pencil then on up into hampton williamsburg also only six colder so for this evening right now it's mostly cloudy and thirty nine will stay mostly cloudy

out this morning he noticed a big difference when you walked outside at lunchtime or in the afternoon how cold it was compared to early and out entries again will continue to fall will see some clearing at times in the middle the night especially the farther north you go and then that next system begins to build in from the south that there is any stray precipitation out ahead of the main batch wouldn't rule out a spring cold or even a flurry early but again that the odds are that are pretty low. as for the most part we just have to wait for the system to gradually build a little bit of strength later in the day tomorrow and even into tomorrow night. i think late today. it'll hit party hampton roads but the heaviest accumulations are the amounts of rain i should say will tend to be down to the south as we get into friday. tempers begin to moderate the stark old man dubbed way up into the forties so let's take a look then at the forecast for tonight breezy and cold thirty
