through our area the front picks up the storm, it turns to the northeast. if it doesn't, it gets pulled in a high pressure pattern switching it to the west. it looks more and more like it will move to the northeast and it could still effect our forecast. entire weather pattern stopping other fronts and forcing others to move along. at this point, it's not looking like a threat to us. take a look at the first warning doppler radar, the front that will effect debby is affecting us, scattered showers and thunderstorms out there. this is a case through the next 12-24 hours with this front going through. the biggest thing, right now, thunderstorm moving off to the east. nothing really strong or severe out there at this point. a couple of thunderstorms, always do have lightening, so you do want to be careful with that. >> >> we'll switch it over and show you sunshine. absolutely spectacular morning around the region then showers and thunderstorms and that will continue tomorrow, as we said

seen a little strength earlier, today, it generally is off to the north and eventually off to the northeast. yesterday, when it took it towards the west, it has been turning more and more to the northeast.ist getting close to land. it looks like in about a day or so, it will slowly start to move, north to northeast. if so, these forecast models are all over the place. i don't know what is going to effect debby. that gets out of there for us tomorrow evening. we start to cool it down. behind that, look at the heat that will return for the sec half of the week. small craft advisories go in effect later tomorrow. forecast, tomorrow, we go up to 85 degrees. look at what happens after that. cool it down for tuesday, but here comes the heat returning the seconds half of the week. adam? all right, thanks so much. >> >> coming up in sports, orioles looking to bounce bat, finishing ,,,,
