our rain will come from from cold front sweeping through and then moving out of the picture. here's the forecast for tonight. mostly cloudy, a few scattered thunderstorms. 67 to 72. take scattered seriously. it won't be a big line of thunderstorms or anything like that. more clouds in the morning, sun in the afternoon. thundershower activity, yes. probably mostly in the morning. northwest winds for boaters in the baby afternoon gusting to 25 so small craft advisories will be out. 86 tomorrow then 80 on tuesday. some of you may not break out of the 70's. lots of nice weather tuesday, wednesday, and thursday. by thursday humility goes up. -- humidity goes up. thunderstorm chances friday and saturday. >> a great ending to a great weekend. >> camden yards was rocking this weekend. the orioles fans got plenty to

white sox for utility man lillibridge and pitcher zach stewart. today youkilis played his final game in a red sox uniform and in the seventh, a drive to center, bourn can't get to it. gonzalez scores. youkilis goes into third with a triple. he gets a standing ovation from the fenway crowd. the ovation continues as youkilis leaves the game. he finished with two hits in a 9-4 boston victory. it will be nearly impossible for michael phelps to top his eight gold medals in beijing and as of now we don't know if he's going to try in the olympic trials that begin tomorrow. the baltimore native has been entered in only seven races but in london it could be more or less. no matter how many races he decides to compete in, the 14-time gold medalist is determined to win them all.
