gorgeous day outside. no complaints. >> we're talking about this, happy about it, yes, all the shots are so clear. there is not even any haze in the air, which is so not typical -- for a 4th of july weekend. now we do have some of the changes coming, but at least today it is fantastic outside. let's show you what is happening outside as far as the satellite radar. most of the day is spectacular, in the last couple of hours esaw a thunderstorm or two filing up between allegheny and washington counties. now we still could see a shower or thunderstorm as the winds happen through the night, the winds turning to the south, the front approaching the area. but not everybody is going to see that. the other thing happening with the southerly winds the temperatures are up. 87 degrees right now in baltimore. 80 in hagerstown. it was warm yesterday. and the dew points were very, very low. warm again today, the dew points back in the 50s at least. tomorrow, though, they will be back in the 60s, we'll feel the

muggy weather, and it will still be warm. we did top out at 93 for the high, the average is 86, almost the entire forecast, we'll be above the average. let's show you overall what is happening. out to the west it is getting a little bit closer. so the chance of showers and thunderstorms as we head through the evening hours, then tomorrow the front gets closer. you see there is not a lot to the front but it is still there. so tomorrow, scattered showers and thunderstorms. not everybody is seeing them. but monday, the front pushes off to the south. you see it is still in southern parts of maryland so close enough for a chance of showers and thunderstorms in baltimore, the better chance the further south you go, the front will stall there for tuesday. we'll see the same idea on tuesday, so the way that comes together for a forecast you see the humidity building tomorrow, continuing into the 4th of july. and with the front passing through scattered showers and thunderstorms tomorrow, still the chance on monday, but not

all day. so out on the water, southwest winds, five to 10 knots, be more careful about looking for a thunderstorm. tomorrow, the isolated thunderstorm is possible, down to 66, a better chance tomorrow. we'll see highs, 91 degrees out there with clouds and showers and thunderstorms. still a chance on monday, high 90 degrees, and with the front off to the south. oh the chance on tuesday, get a little bit of a break, look how warm it remains this entire week, andrea? >> thank you bernadette. and hopefully the o's will have a good weekend. a good 4th of july weekend. >> they got off to a rough start last night but that doesn't mean that is the end of the world. o's, braves, we'll show you how they did in atlanta. it was not good at all. that and more your way just as soon as we get ,,,,,,,,,,,,
