disappearing. a little larger picture shows the shower activity that we had over southern portions of virginia, southern maryland, and also down around the outer banks of north carolina that had shower and thunderstorm activity. also around the myrtle beach. it's moved out into the atlantic. but the little troughs of low pressure are going to continue moving along the eastern seaboard, mostly out in the ocean. it will not bother our weather. overnight and the next 24 to 36 hours things are looking pretty good. right now nothing showing up on maryland's most powerful radar. okay. we just talked about dunbar but, we got to talk about poly. got to give them a shot too. 71 degrees. got to have equal time, right? 71 degrees. their high 89. i think something is wrong with their thermometer. but as far as st. stephens school and some of the other temperatures around the region, towson 68. 70 in hanover. annapolis 69 degrees. same in havre de grace 69. 66 in westminster. and eldersburg right now at 70 degrees. as far as our forecast for the

centers and emergency rooms for the treatment of three common illnesses -- ear infection, sore throat, and urinary tract infection. they found while the quality of care at clinics was similar to physician offices and urgent care centers and better than care in emergency rooms, these clinics were significantly less expensive. on average, treatment at the clinic was five times less expensive than in the emergency room. these findings suggest that for certain common illnesses, retail clinics offer care that is comparable to traditional health care facilities at a more affordable price. retail clinics are popping up in more than grocery stores and pharmacies. you can also find some in large retail stores like target, for example. after being stranded at sea for more than a week, a trio of fishermen get a second chance at life. how they were finally saved, and see their happy family reunion. and watch this. you think that's a criminal speeding away from the cops. it's not. why a 9-year-old says he stole
