forecast. right now there's a high cloud deck. if we get sunshine behind that, we will set up the situation i noted before. the possibility for large hail, wind gusts over 60 miles per hour and a chance for tornadic activity if everything sets up just right. just because you have all the ingredients for severe weather doesn't mean you will get it, but we have to look out for it. the highs should be in the low 80's. if you're headed to the ocean, chance for thunderstorms at the beach, especially this afternoon. tomorrow morning there could be rain early that should clear up in the afternoon. once you get beyond early saturday, things should be fine. if you're up real early on saturday, you should see rain.

neighborhoods over the next hour or two, but that's not the severe weather scenario we're talking about for later today. if we get the severe weather, this will park itself in southern pennsylvania. this will create the instability. with the winds changing direction with height, some of the storms could start to rotate, and there's a possibility we could see some tornadoes develop later this afternoon. there's a chance for some large hail and wind gusts over 60 miles per hour. just because all the ingredients are there for severe weather doesn't always mean it's going to happen, but we have to prepare for that possibility. so our forecast, a chance for showers and scattered thunderstorms later this evening. high temperatures in the upper 70's, and lower 80's. a chance for some light rain tomorrow morning, and then it

should clear up the rest of the weekend. if you're up real early saturday, but then skies will clear with highs in the mid 70's. we'll be below-average temperature-wise on saturday and sunday. >> time for a last look at our big story. a crime out of harford county takes an even more gruesome turn. jennifer franciotti joins us with details. >> this story begins two weeks ago. that's when the 21-year-old suspect had an altercation with his roommate at morgan state university resulting in the suspect leaving morgan state. his name is alexander kinyua. he was in good standing there until that incident. he was a third-year engineering student. he moved back home with his family and there was a border renting a room in that house. he is the victim in this case,
