it's the latest in the shakeup of the nation's largest breast cancer foundation. and you still have a chance to win big. no tickets matched last night for the powerball drawing. the winning combination was 3, 7, 11, 15, 28, with the powerball being 11. that next drawing is saturday, the jackpot is estimated around $253 million. and an update on the upcoming hurricane season expected today. from the national oceanic and atmospheric administration. they're going to be taking a look at what's expect for the atlantic in the coming months something i know you'll be paying attention to len et. watching tare necessary -- lynette. watching ernesto down south but keep an eye on what's coming up in the next few weeks. >> exactly. definitely keeping my eyes peeled for that. we have been tracking tropical storm ernesto now. yesterday it made landfall yucatan peninsula and moved

back into the bay of campeche. that's what's going on right now and over is hex hours it could be in here it could restrengthen back into a category 1 hurricane and it is forecasted to slide and make another landfall into southern mexico. but right now the winds sustained at about 70 miles an hour and it is moving to the west at about 14 miles an hour. that's the latest on tropical storm ernesto. lots of moisture around the area once again for today. the dew points in easton 70. 73 in d.c.. and 68 now in baltimore. and i take you outside in manchester where we are looking at the clouds but mainly we have some sunshine. the clouds and sun will mix through today. i think maybe today we'll get more sunshine than clouds. but yesterday, we actually got more clouds than sunshine. and that really did hold the temperature down a little bit but a beautiful shot this morning. get out there and enjoy it. just make sure you hold your breath as you do because it is sultry out there. not feeling too good. as you look at the future trend, we're not taking up on a lot mt. morning time but we have a chance for scattered showers to move into the

picture lunchtime and points i don't understand that. some -- beyond that. some showers in the forecast, but the better chance for wet weather and seen stormy weather comes into friday and all ahead of the cold front that will traverse the area friday evening into early saturday morning. so saturday morning, yes you can be seeing a few showers out there and thunderstorms but then the day will get better as the day goes on. speaking of the day the hour by hour forecast. 91 degrees for a high temperature but with the humidity it's going to feel a lot hotter than that. then the seven day forecast cooler conditions as we go into sunday and drier conditions a slight chance for a shower as we head into next monday. let's get a check now of the abc2 timesaver traffic with lauren cook. good morning lynette. if you are using 95 do expect delays in white marsh all due to the earlier crash along the southbound lanes of the beltway. traffic jammed back to route 43. and the average speed is clocking in at 48 miles per hour. we're also dealing with a water main break in essex. now my facebook friends jennifer just wrote in saying it's been missy franklinned to the shoulder and no -- moved to

the shoulder and not having much of an impact. it's on route 50 at wilshire road. traffic picking on the other main lines as we look at the beltway. that west side going to be pretty crammed on that outer loop. that will continue from liberty road down to route 40. and here's what it looks like in parkville at harford road. inner loop just fine. no problems getting down to 95 but the outer loop that's where it gets tricky up to towson. we are gifting away $600 in free gas. to enter the contest all you have to do is become a fan of my official abc2 facebook page. all of the details at the very top of the pro file and draw a winner tomorrow and every friday through the rest of summer. best of luck to you. thank you for joining us on this thursday. remember, the ravens' pre-game special tonight at 6:30. jamie costello and scott garceau are going to be down at mother's in federal hill. as we go up to new york now for "good morning america," to you? >> you look pretty. >> and to you?
