see more warmth coming from the west and southwest. we'll also see a better chance of showers and maybe thunderstorms over the next few days, primarily in the afternoon and overnight hours on friday, saturday and sunday. maybe even lingering into monday, before we start to see some clearing. but we can use the rain. we are down for the year and the month. so far for the month, we should be around this time of the month at just around an inch and a half of rain. we've only seen about a third of an inch. so the deficit is a little more than an inch for the month. we are down about 8 inches for the year. so we can use any of it. just hoping it doesn't come in with any punch like it did to weeks ago. and we'll keep you posted. we'll have your complete first warning forecast coming up. >> a spectacular sight for people living in manhattan. take a look at the alignment that is being called manhattan hinge. it took place just before 8:30 last night. it happens when the steady sun aligns perfectly with the city's grid of east-west streets.

of a choice. 85 degrees to about 90 over the next few days. but the difference is going to be the humidity levels are going to go up. get used to a very july-like feel. south/southeasterly winds. 85 degrees. dew points very low. still a comfortable thursday afternoon. we'll have a complete updated we'll have a complete updated first warning forecast,,,,,,,,,, i'll have the $4 everyday value slam with... bacon.

off the 2-4-6-8 value menu. welcome back. we're looking at a temperature today, pressie much our target for where we normally are this

time of year. 88 is our average high. 64 was your overnight low. 67 was the average for this time of year. so again, right around the normal highs and lows for this time. year. nowhere near the records of 97 and 53. but we are still in a comfortable zone, with the dew points still pretty low. we are looking at temperatures that are very much on target, along with the heat index for the actual temperature. let's show you this here in just a second here. 87, our temperature, just dropping out of 87. at the science center. we have 79 right now in oakland. 81 in cumberland. 84 in elkton. 77 in ocean city. and 85 is at bwi marshall. around the immediate metro area, all of this pretty much in that mid80-degree range. 83 in rock hall. 85 pretty much across the board everywhere else reporting this afternoon. south/southeasterly winds, at 5 miles per hour. just a delightful breeze. higher gusts at elkton.

10-mile-per-hour winds in easton. bringing in cooler air off the ocean and the bay. again, depending how far to the east you are. but the heat index, not changing. that 85 is a true 85. because of the dew point being down in the 50s. so it's not too tropical out there. but what we are cawmp watching are several different dynamics to our forecast. high pressure is starting to weaken its grip on our forecast now. it's been responsible for all of the dryer conditions and the sun and the clear skies we had. but this stalled front that extends back to houston really is just close enough that it is still casting some clouds in our direction. and it's going to also allow -- this high is going to allow for some of that rain to move on into the region, heading into tomorrow night. and then into saturday. another dynamic out to the west. it's a very weak front that is moving in across the plain states. it's going to get here by sunday. that's going to bring ahead of it, warmer temperatures. temperatures are going to go into the low 90s. and that will bring us a chance of rain i lingering into

monday. so the chance of showers will with us through the weekend. no washout plans. but there could be a pop-up shower or thunderstorm. 8:33 is your sunset time today. south winds on the bay, 5 to 10 knots. tonight, going down to around 70 degrees. partly cloudy but seasonably warm. partly sunny and very warm. and then we stay in that 90- degree range really for the foreseeable future. >> okay. still to come tonight on wjz's eyewitness news. new hope in a cold case. the discovery years after a woman's murder and the connection to the occupy wall street protest. wild situation. two powerful chimps escape from the california zoo. see what happens. controversial case. more evidence released in the trayvon martin murder. what it reveals about the night the teen ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

with no justice. but sources say it isn't necessarily a direct link to her killer, acknowledging the match could be a coincidence. they've long suspected this man, demetri shien land is responsible for sarah fox's death. >> i am not the murderer. people like me are not murderers, okay? >> reporter: police say there is no match to shineman. he's always denied involvement and last month brought a letter to police, saying sarah fox has spoken to him from beyond the grave, naming a juilliard faculty member as her murderer. police say they still aren't sure how this new dna evidence will factor into the case. >> police say they're still working to match that dna evidence to an actual person. they say it doesn't match anyone currently in their database. police say excessive speed played a role in a deadly crash in howard county. the single car crash happened early this morning in columbia. police say the 17-year-old driver lost control and went off the road and struck a tree. he died at the scene. three other young men in the
