region right now. temperatures with some sun really jumped up, 81, in hagerstown. 77 in the nation's capital. 70, ocean city and easton. we're at spha 73 -- at 73. east winds keep pushing that water from the atlantic ocean toward our region. across the bay. still have some advisories for some -- maybe some minor flooding along the coast over the next 12 to 24 hours. because it is low pressure that is still sitting offshore. it's much weaker than it was. but it still has a return flow here that is bringing the wind and the flow from the east to the west. that means it keeps pushing this moisture over the top of our surface. this low is also going to kind of congeal over our surface. we we have a good chance of getting some rain here. all because of two low pressures. one to the west. one off the coast. between the two, some areas. as you go to the north, new york, pennsylvania, new jersey could see a couple of inches of rain. we might get a half inch of rain possibly.

northeast winds of the bay. may gust as high as 25 knots. small craft advisory. yes, periods of rain. a little drizzle here and there tonight. 60 for a low tomorrow. maybe getting up into the upper 60s with periods of rain. so cool thursday headed our way. vic? >> okay. thanks a lot, bob. appreciate it. we're going to check in right now with some breaking news, with sky eye chopper 13. what's going on? mike perry? >> reporter: yeah, vic, we are in churchville, harford county. this is off. bram bel drive in churchville, where apparently a street sweeper has rolled into a home, causing severe damage to the home. it is not clear whether anyone was driving the street sweeper at the time. you can see, lots of clearing going on here. and they have a new bedroom window off the front of the house. >> looks like a remodeling project. thanks, captain mike perry. still to come tonight. this metal statue, honoring the ironman, vandalized and
