right it's a beautiful day ahead for us and a beautiful start look at this wonderful shot this is our camera at the warp I'm telling you uh if any of those boers decide to go down the water today good decision light winds plenty of sunshine just a day to be chilling out there it is going to be fantabulous as I like to say sometimes as we're serving up some sunshine and a pretty nice day on the weather Buffet so the weekend is looking good it's mild it's cooler than it has been the last couple of
days I don't have any 70s to talk about but I do have a pretty nice day both today and tomorrow as we start next week we're going to see some Gusty winds so it'll be hanging onto your hat weather by Monday and guess what spring making an appearance finally arriving on Tuesday with a little bit of a winter feel what does that mean well just that it's going to be a lot chillier chilly this morning at 48 degrees with some sunshine winds are from the north at 8 miles an hour and that is a light win
d so nothing happening in the wind Department nothing happening on satellite radar either we had rain yesterday rain last night overnight that's now moved its way out and left behind some pretty nice drier air for us to enjoy it's 46 degrees at C pepper this hour 45 at Manasses the same at Dallas gathersburg at 43 Cumberland has warmed up since last hour to 40 degrees 49 at Fredericksburg and we have 49 degrees at Annapolis and also uh you know our temperature difference has been pretty signific
ant but if you take a look at what's going on here you can see to the West those temperatures only in the 30s and that's on the back side of that frontal system that's moving through and so for us right now compared to yesterday we are anywhere from 8 to 22 degrees cooler this hour and that's an indication of where we're headed because we've had the 7s we're now going to be in the 60s for daytime highs so a little bit of a difference there so here's a look at those winds from the north northwest
as I said they will be light today so not too much to talk about in the wind Department 60s for daytime highs secondary front will come through as we get into Sunday so we'll see a few more clouds on Sunday but not too much but then as that system moves its way out and a ridge starts to build in we're going to see those winds pick up as we get into Monday and that's where those Gusty winds are going to come into the picture but at least we're going to have the sunshine right and here's a look a
t for today your planner by midday 57 degrees with all the Sun and then by the 65 degre by the 5:00 hour 65 degrees it's just going to be pleasant and Mild so when once again I'm encouraging you to get out daytime highs low 60s as we go into Dallas and Manasses and Fredericksburg cooler to areas of our North Northwest hagertown Martinsburg Winchester all kicking in at 59 degrees 66 in the city and 57 for Annapolis if you're chilling by the water now those cherry blossoms we are at stage five how
exciting is that Peak Bloom just around the corner well how's it been in the past here's a look at years past where we've seen Peak Bloom 2018 April the 5th all the way to 2023 where was actually March the 23rd so little bit of a difference there but we are going to keep our fingers cross because the weather so far has been holding up pretty good as we get into tomorrow and into next week seeing some rain showers coming over the higher elevations on Sunday nothing that's going to cross the I95
Corridor though just over the higher elevations the alagan and by Monday could see also some snow showers there for them and that'll be at the West Virginia Panhandle right along the alagan front not looking at any of that moving East either maybe a stray flake or something but nothing to be concerned with that's going to continue into Monday before it's all said and done here's that 7-day forecast for you I've got a leprechaun dancing on Sunday perfect weather for St Patrick's Day all the outdo
or festivities warming up to 57 67 degrees it cools down as we get into Tuesday first day of spring only in the 50s chance of maybe a few showers at the end of the week for your Friday at 59 so Embrace and enjoy we've got some pretty good condition from now right through until Thursday and what better weather to get out and just enjoy those cherry blossoms we're keeping the temperatures pretty good hopefully it won't get too cold for them we're
