ocean city, it's going to be a great weekend for that. 84 degrees. saturday looking at 86 on sunday. slight chance for a thundershower both days. a little better chance as you go toward ocean city. and certainly if you're headed south of ocean city towards chincoteague, toward say cape charles and the tunnel bridge area, in that direction you're going to find a better chance for thundershowers due to a storm system sitting off the carolinas right now. we'll show you that in a second. high temperatures today 8 degrees from bwi. 85 in winchester. hagerstown closer to 90. ocean city topped out at 85 today as well. pretty humid stuff, but temperatures starting to drop off a little bit. we're down to 82 now in easton. and 83 now at bwi. satellite and radar pictures, boy, we cleared off nicely. we had fair weather clouds today. that's what we're seeing here. almost no precipitation. one straight shower in calvert county. we'll hoe you the weather-maker that will play a little havoc for some beach areas, especially as you go south of ocean city, again, down toward

virginia beach, the tidewater, toward cape hatteras. that's where we're watching active weather. but the storm system should stay not just south and east of us. but high pressure over here over kentucky and west virginia that is sliding steadily east. that should keep it at bay, just barely south and east of us. we're look good not just in baltimore, but toward the beaches this weekend. let's take a look at the forecast in detail. again, watch as we go into saturday afternoon. you see that weather counts for richmond. not much, though, across baltimore and ocean city. then as we go into the day on sunday, a hotter day on tap. i think we'll get a lot of sunshine early. a better chance for a pop-up thundershower in the afternoon. but again, you see the model picking up on most of that precipitation from richmond southward. so again, we're just skirting the bad weather and staying north of it here in maryland. bay forecast looking great again. i highly encourage you to take the boat out again. light east breeze. not even a foot of chop out there. sunrise 6:55 tomorrow morning. overnight tonight, looks like a

great night to head out for your friday evening. partly cloudy, should stay nice and dry. it will be muggy out there. i'm not going to sugarcoat that. sultry stuff overnight. about 88 or so in the heart of the city. a little cooler out towards the beach areas. but it will be getting hotter through weekend. into sunday we go, talking about 90 or so late in the afternoon. and hovering around 90 degrees for terrellly part of next week. but you see, not a lot of thunderstorm activity. so some pretty nice weather here over the next few days. on wall street today, stocks are down, but not as much as they had been after investors were disappointed by reports that consumers continue to cut back on spending. the dow jones fell 76 points. the nasdaq fell 23. the s&p dropped 8. the competition is heating up in harford county, and we mean smoking! the 8th annual maryland state barbecue championship is underway in bel air. all the grilling and chilling happens right in the courthouse parking lot.

justin harper, putting the ravens up 13-0, and the ravens defense picked up from last year, just dominating the skins, shutting them out 23-0. let's take another look outside. pretty evening at the inner harbor. we'll be back with another quick check on the forecast. in a moment. and checking in the temperatures in fort meade, 86 degrees. explain.
