now weather, complete forecast and the first warning of severe weather. >> taking a look outside right now, it is warm and a little humid out there. here's tim williams to tell us more about it. tim. >> you know, the humidity has definitely been a factor over the last few days. the dew points have been high

which typically for us means a summer-type pattern, dew points in the mid-60s usually gives you the tropical feel. look at the current conditions. we are looking at temperatures around 82 degrees, 66 the dew point. all of the relative humidity says 52 that's deceiving because when you add an 82 temperature with a 66 dew point, you do feel that mugginess out there and at the times during the afternoon when the sun has broken through the clouds, it heats up very quickly and it can start feeling a little uncomfortable very fast. winds are from the west- northwest at 10 miles per hour. the barometer at 30.01. across the area temperatures are ranging pretty much around that 80-degree range. we have 75 in oakland, the cool spot. 82 in hagerstown, 84 on the shore and 81 in elkton. around the immediate metro area, temperatures reflecting winds coming in from the west, warming us up. the northerly component helping to usher in clouds. larger system out to our west will bring in first warning doppler radar and give you an

idea what is sitting off to our west. the ohio valley is playing host to a large low pressure system that's trying to ease its way in here. currently high pressure still kind of dominating our forecast. this is going to start making its way in here by saturday. what we are going to see in the meantime, however, just a slight chance of showers, just like we had yesterday if you were in northern baltimore county, up toward hat ford or cecil counties, you heard rumbles of thunder late yesterday evening and in the bigger picture, this shows how this is shaping up. we do not have any rain area wide but this is going to start to make its way into the region. tomorrow a pretty nice day but it won't be long before tomorrow evening we start to see a chance of this system starting to ease its way in. by saturday into sunday we see a better chance of rain. it's a matter of timing. the sooner it gets here saturday, the sooner it gets out of here on sunday. if it takes a little while to get through here, it's going to take a little while to get out of here. so we are talking about of course early portion of the weekend, not being too bad. we likely see some showers on

saturday afternoon as a warm front lifts through, the disturbance itself will likely lift largely to our north and west but it's going to drag on across the mid-atlantic and tomorrow not a bad day but we will start to see the shower potential improve by saturday and again we look to see by sunday afternoon we will start to see some better, clearer skies. small craft advisory goes in effect tomorrow and stays in effect through saturday morning. a northeast wind on the bay tomorrow from 10 to 15 knots gusting to 20. sunset today is at 6:59. it looks like this for the rest of the night. 64 degrees the overnight low, partly cloudy, cooler, less humid than it has been, and then tomorrow partly sunny, we will see the sun but the humidity will drop 75 degrees and then we will start to look for the rain moving on through and we will talk about the timing of that as it progresses. >> thanks a lot. >> yeah. a reminder to be sure to tune into cbs's prime time lineup at 10:00, the season premiere of the hit drama the

that's good news. although we are still expecting rain coming in this weekend, right now things are quiet around our region. we had a couple of little sprinkles in the eastern shore earlier, but that front has gone through the renal pretty quite -- pretty quiet. a lot of rain over indiana, ohio, going to take a little while to get here, the sooner it gets here, the sooner it gets out. right now might see rain moving into our general mid-atlantic ridge and by saturday afternoon, tomorrow should be cooler, with partly cloudy skies only in the mid-70s tomorrow and it will be drier, so pretty nice end to the week but looks like saturday afternoon and saturday night will be quite wet at this point. denise. >> thank you, bob. let's check on the roads right now with sharon gibala at wjz traffic control. hello, sharon. >> not so nice on area roadways, plenty of serious accidents on major roadways. first of all one on 95 southbound at the beltway, blocking the right lane causing a backup, also a crash on the outer loop at washington boulevard blocking the left lane with a backup there on the
