much smaller venue. >> probably today i would have been sitting around, because you are right, times are tough and you can't really go out and do a whole lot like you used to be able to. >> reporter: the move to merriweather is another blow to pimlico. magna entertainment, which owns pimlico, filed for bankruptcy this years leaving the future of the race course in question. britain's famed virgin festival made its debut on thin field in 2006. it was chosen for the track's close proximity to several east coast cities. past shows featured an a-list of talent like the who, red hot chili peppers, the killers, and gnarls barkley. >> we are just so grateful that we get to have this event at merriweather and the people have been so supportive of the virgin mobile festival. this year is going to be spectacular. >> they must be making money on concessions because the concert

was completelily free, and in the past tickets costs $97. tim, we should have played hooky today. >> there's still time. >> we look like buddy holly in weeser. >> 85 was where we topped out. humidity 50% with a north wind at 7. the complete updated first warning forecast is coming up.

well, as late august, early september weeks go, you couldn't ask for a better stretch of weather. 82 did he grows our temperature at bwi. a little closer to 85 downtown. right on target for our average but nowhere near the records of 101 and 45. bottomed out around 70 in the

overnight hours. 83 in ocean city, everyone falling somewhere between those two numbers. around the metro area the immediate metro area looking at 77 in westminster, 81 in the state capitol, 79 on kent island, 76 in bel air. the wind there the north is keeping us cool. also helping to dry us out. tall rain that we got over the last few days, these drier air masses are starting to keep us a little more comfortable, drying tout ground. we did have some clouds out there but we had just as much sun. it was the wind, the breeze from the north that kept us cool. we had enough sun to warm us up but what we're looking at here this is the front that moved through that wiped out all the junk and all the rain that we had out there, and behind it, we're looking at cooler air moving in. high pressure is building in. it's that clock-wise flow that's bringing us that north- northwesterly flow. it's drying us out, keeping rain potential to our south. while that front is still close enough that it's going to bring us the potential for showers

tomorrow, it will drift back far enough to bring us the chance for rain around southern maryland but the cooler temperatures prevail. it will bring us some clouds. high pressure stays in play, and really dominates our forecast. so while we'll see the clouds we really only after chance of rain south of the metro area. we're talking about the extreme lower eastern shore and down around southern maryland and virginia. so we're seeing sunrise tomorrow at 6:34, small craft advisory at midnight and stays in effect through tomorrow. partly cloudy and nice, open the windows and enjoy a break from the ac. 75 tomorrow, cloudy and pleasant. for the next five days, talking about the cool temperatures right there, but let's back this up. 78 on tuesday, 81 and 83 with lows as cool as 55, as mailed as 62. >> sports is

hello, everybody. orioles in the win column today. splitting the series with the indians at two apiece. down at the yards, among the more knowledgeable and informed baseball mind, the little people. are you listening to me, he says? starting pitcher brian m arc t, the is walked one, struck out eight. felix pie the hottest hitter to date. new york yankees here starting tomorrow night. pro football and the ravens, now 3-0 where it doesn't count, in the preseason after beating the panthers and carolina last night. the ravens got off to a relatively bad start on this first quarter series they failed to score after three

tries within the one-yard line. then on fourth down, steve missed what should have been a chipped field goal. but the birds came to light in the second quarter when joe flacco, who had pinpoint accuracy early, scored on this nine-yard touchdown to todd heap. derrick mason catching everything within sight. the ravens scored again, setting up willis mcgahee. all starters versus starters in the first half where flacco was 23 of 28. second quarter, ravens field goal, 17-3 purple bird. fourth quarter, carolina crowelling back on the scoreboard. touchdown with the kid there within 17-10. in the end ravens hang on to win their second consecutive preseason game. >> the defense, twelve best

shot of winning, and i think over this preseason we've tried to throw the ball around a little bit. i think we've done a good job of doing that. tonight was just another example. >> okay, next week, it will be ravens at atlanta. from what i'm told, that's it for now, folks, so back to you. atlanta, may be 4-0 at the end of the preseason, but it doesn't count. could you win all your preseason games and lose all your regular season games. >> maybe giving us a little momentum. coming up, an early morning shooting in montgomery county leaves one person dead and police searching for answers. also, this group of people almost presumed dead, but tonight three missing boaters have an amazing survival story after they were rescued from a capsized boat in the gulf. watch cold case at 10:00 p.m., immediately followed by eyewitness news at 11:00. finally tonight, we have a little surprise for you here. >> actually, we have a little

surprise four here. >> what is going on on the teleprompter? >> your cohorts in the newsroom are conspiring to wish you a happy birthday. >> that's why you had to drop one of your stories. thank you, guys. >> happy birthday. >> producer shauna. >> thank you, thank you, guys. >> thank you, thank you. yes, i live on, i live on. >> congratulations. >> i guess i'll blow this out. >> did you make a
