ocean city. and all along the coast, down into the 60s. now, what we're seeing with the wind; it has picked up to the southeast. nothing that extreme. but enough to bring in that cooler air. that's one of the things we're seeing out there. temperatures across the country. look at this. the entire eastern half of the country has warmed up significantly. behind that, though, here's where the cooler air is, though. and in between the warmer air and cooler air, here's our next storm. in the middle of the country, it is providing enough energy for severe weather. we have seen an outbreak with it. even at this point, strong thunderstorms on the southern side of this front. but what we're expecting with high pressure in control is for most of that storm to get deflected off to the north of us. so when we put it in motion, looks like this. here's our high pressure just hanging off the east coast. it forces the storm to ride up and above us. during that time, we're going to be having additional clouds sunday. and temperatures really aren't going to be affected all that much. and even on monday, the chance maybe for a shower or two over

the mountains. and some additional clouds around. but then this front gets out of here. and the warm air actually gets reenforced as we head to the beginning part of next week. the way it comes together is like this. winds out of the southeast again tomorrow. at about 5 to 10 knots. tonight, a pretty mild night out there. pretty quiet, also. mainly clear skies. great for stargazingful tomorrow, sunshine. patchy clouds in the afternoon. that's about it. 78 degrees for our highs. it's very comfortable once again. and you'll see some additional clouds on sunday. but nothing extreme. and wait until you see the five- day forecast. this warm air is going to stick around for a while. >> oh, boy, oh, boy. thank you, bernadette. >> we'll be right back. teens are behind bars after a fight at a local mall. i'm gigi barnett, at baltimore county police headquarters. a live report is just ahead. at the super low price of $99.99 a month --
