the area, we just did not receive much rain at all with this. nor wind or anything else. at b.w.i. marshall, the high was 81. rainfall, only .15 inch at the airport and .25 at the inner harbor. parts of cecil county received as much as two to three inches of rain from some of those storms. here is what the doctor looked like this morning at 11:00 a.m. this is about the time there was a tornado in effect for cecil county and parts of new castle county in delaware. the storms themselves reached down to charles county, but it wasn't severe down in this part. they just got a lot of heavy rain. then we advance the radar to this evening. about 6:30 a tornado warning was issued for the delmarva peninsula. it all got started with some

waterspouts. nothing has been confirmed, but there were some strong storms and that lasted for quite some sometimes. things are quieting down now. temperature-wise, we are still in the 70's. until you get up into carroll county and past frederick, temperatures cool a little bit. you can really tell things are changing if about he go to the dew point readings. dew point readings in the 70, a tropical and humid feeling. in baltimore we drop into the 60's for dew points. you can draw a line right here and see where that is happening, and that is the front coming into the area. here is the satellite picture. a few scatter clouds with remaining showers. most of the cloud cover and storm activity is over the atlantic. pull the view back, and there's the front coming in trying to push some of this tropical air out of the area. the thing is, the air back here west of the mountains isn't all that dry either, and it is still warm. there is yet another system out to the west which will be coming in on wednesday. so we partially fix the

situation. our forecast tonight, rain chances taper off. partly cloudy, 67-71 the low. upper 80's to around 90 tomorrow. partly cloudy skies. an isolated shower is a possibility but the exception rather than and the rule. the insta-weather plus futurecast went blank on me. so we don't have that. here sts seven-day forecast. temperatures up near 90 for the next three days. a slight chance of rain for monday and tuesday, better chance wednesday. >> i presume you are speaking of mr. phelps now? >> michael it is. yes. at the world championships, yesterday we saw him in an individual event when he got fired up anne arundel tag niesed. today it is a team thing, and they are wrapping this up in

retirement probably would have taken the field in a hurricane. his self evaluation done with the results telling him he needs to keep on playing. he practiced full speed physically and mentally. the ravens handled his doubt with respect, allowing him to figure things out in his own time, respect for which mason gives thanks. >> it meant a lot, you know, to have your coach come over to your house, and players to call you. it meant a lot. they just wanted to express to me that they respected my decision and they were with me either way. that is all you want. >> respect for the organization also a story for the orioles today, but not in the same kind of light. melvin mora, the o's longest tenured player lashed out at tafe trembley for what he calls disrespect. he says he sits on burch empl bench a lot and deserves

"11 investigates i-team" ran away with the gold, or maybe swam away with it, smashing its own world record. for the week, phelps, five gold medals and the one silver. wouldn't be surprised if the silver is the only one he keeps. the has kell at monmouth park,
