to mid-50s. as you see pretty pleasant night after a very night evening. a very light wind now. tomorrow the winds will start turning more to the southeast. and that will start bringing in some atlantic moisture and look for clouds to be on the increase. why? because we have two systems not one but two headed our way. this one causing a lot of rain in south florida this afternoon. showers and thundershowers, another one across the midwest. this is headed almost due east so this one actually will be an area of low pressure over ohio that will pass just to our northwest. this low pressure is going to pass up the coast toward the carolinas, could become quite strong. they might see a wind gust over 40 miles per hour. right along the coast or so. there might be some issues even at ocean city by late wednesday early thursday. if that storm kind of rolls up the east coast it could get more powerful. in between that's where i think we're going to be in between two major storm systems. we'll have rain on wednesday, but looks like the bulk of the rain to the west or to the east of us. so we'll get rain on wednesday.

out late at night. by thursday, one left over shower. other wise partly breezy. lows down close to 40 degrees. saturday more sunshine back up into the low 60s. denise. >> thank you bob. coming up another big win for the ravens but more ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
