after we only hit 78 with all the clouds around. we're seeing a clearing trend. high pressure that's centered takeover upper midwest. our winds today are going to be out of the northwest, and that's going to help keep us quite pleasant with lower-than-normal dew points and fresh air over us in august. 60 out at the airport and low 60's on the eastern shore and only in the mid 60's in york, pennsylvania. so taking the statewide tour. almost a spring-like day out there. plenty of blue in the skies. here in baltimore up to 85 as is typical around the bay today but absolutely nice day for you this friday. one of the nicest we've seen so far this summer. surf temperature has dropped to 69 but temperature will be rising by the second half of this weekend. balmy in the waters, 71 in the
