welcome back everybody. this is the rain that's making its way through the state right now. we have a few different areas that we are talking about. few different areas here, and around pittsburgh could be a few rumbles of thunder with brighter colors just to the south of g right there. we want to open up a little bit more and show you some lighter rain over to the north of

bellaire. we have a few different areas where there is probably thunder going on as well. just to the west of salisbury heading west ward to elliot. this one making its way toward the bray toward the western shoreline. we had that rain come down last night. it came down heavy enough that there is now a flood warning in effect. we'll get to that in just a moment. but take a look at this rotation, it is all pivoting around the state. you notice the rotation around the state means that that's the center of the storm and it's drifting off to the south. at this point we do have this flood warning that's in effect. until further notice around the river, because the river is running a little bit over normal and it is going to take some time to come down. fog is probably going to form, in addition to that, some drizzle is possible. and the clouds are going to stick around.

72 in baltimore right now, 73 in d. c. 73 in hagestown. 75 is where we topped out, look at where we started out. very warm 66 degrees. we're not dropping very much tonight either with those clouds around. so here's that storm as we said. look at that pivoting action. it's weakening as it does so. so as long as it's around, we do still have a chance for showers and clouds in the vicinity of this low. by tuesday it is out of our hair by now. it is very interesting until we get to the weekend. it could become a tropical storm or maybe a tropical depression. that's something we're going to be watching. eventually this could factor into our equation and drift to the east. the forecast as we head through tonight. rainy drizzle around.
