>> reporter: the bay bridge does have an anommometer. what's more, the state doesn't rely on weather forecasts to take action and protect drivers. they change too frequently. the only plan of protection for drivers on the bridge, during wicked weather, are signs alerting them to the conditions. and during really dangerous storms, the transportation authority can temporarily close the bridge. >> shutting the bridge down prematurely, also has implications. and there's also sometimes life safety associations with that. >> reporter: mdta says monday, it will begin an in-depth review of what happened during last week's storm, and how to improve its warning systems on the bay bridge. at sandy point, i'm gigi barnett, wjz eyewitness news. >> the maryland transportation authority said it is looking into purchasing a realtime weather system. but that device will only track winds at the bridge, not those in the distance. >> that had to be very frightening, going across that

rain. 82 is the bay temp. south winds, 5 to 10. tonight, look for temperatures in the upper 70s. near low 80s or so in the city. and humidity begins to come back. tomorrow, hot, humid. 103. that will break the record. which is only 101. but it will feel more like 110 the afternoon. and that's why there is an excessive heat warning for tomorrow, for the entire region. for the most part. >> all right. >> we'll have to get an update to see if tim made it out of the water. still to come tonight on wjz's eyewitness news. i'm ron matz. it starts tonight. right here. the little italy film festival. and there's something new. the story coming up here on wjz. on the campaign trail. president obama and mitt romney, each pushing their message on the road. and it feels like an oven outside. and it's going to get even hotter. first warning weather coverage continues right after this. ,,,,
