well, you are doing your back to school shopping and make sure that you are getting the most for your money. experts say before you hit the stores you need to set a budget and figure out what you can afford to spend and make a list of what you really need. when you go to pay, pay with cash. and stick to the budget. if you do go with credit and know that you don't pay it off, go with lower interest. and when it comes to store credit cards, it's best to stay away. they typically come with sky high interest rates but payday loans come with loans topping 400%. and never shop when you are hungry, tired or rush people make impulsive purchases if they are pressed for time and not feeling their best. and we hope you buy a few

we had a gorgeous day and had an evening out there to enjoy. take a long walk and get the dogs out of the house. enjoy this and take in fresh air. 76 degrees. humidity low and 35%. dew point is nice. the day is getting shorter by the way so that the evening walks will be shifted up a little bit as we go later in the month and into september. show you the beach, and we roll forward and you can see that in ocean city we have some sunshine early on. the clouds are then fighting their way back at times. it didn't stop the crowd from taking the beach. how about the beach forecast tomorrow? we have a pretty good start. we have some bright conditions in the morning and clouds will thicken into the morning and could be a shower by 8:00 or 9:00 tomorrow night. the index we'll show as moderate. keep storm shield handy if you are heading to the beach.

it's in the palm of the hand, if a thunderstorm warning pops up late day sunday more than likely, you will have it with it. temperatures across the state, mid-70s and low 70s at the beach. no not bad and low humidity with a light easterly breeze. we'll keep the easterly flow through the weekend. as a result, humidity will ramp up on the east wind and could help fuel a shower by late saturday night. again, primary chances coming in on sunday. right now we do see clouds streaking into the state out of the south and east. these are not rain makers, the closest near the outer banks. in the meantime. high pressure controlling from the midwest. we have some humid more active weather trying to drift more and may make it in by the second half of the week. looking at the future trend, the progress will be slow but the rain is shifting further north on saturday.

i don't think it makes it in but the clouds will. into the day on sunday, hit-or-miss shower activity. it looks like a pretty good bet. a lot of the rain may stay offshore but it could wrap with on and off showers on sunday. maybe not an all day rain. tropics looking more active. one big disturbance here. you can see it crossing the yucatan of mexico. you can see if that's a named storm. aaron is now a tropical disturbance. we'll see if she can redevelop in the southern open atlantic. tomorrow, not bad. 80 degrees for the 2-degree guarantee. maybe a late shower tomorrow night, but the best chance of rain will be on sunday lingering into monday. seven-day forecast, warmer. and you know, i love the taste of fall but i'm not ready for summer to be over. good news is it's only mid-august. we have a chance for 90 again as we go towards wednesday and

thursday next week. >> we're not talking about big storms on sunday and monday? >> no. i think some hit-and-miss rain. i think outdoor plans and a big barbecue and maybe shift it up to saturday. >> safe bet. >> thanks. stick around. after world news tonight, here's what you will see on tonight's show. >> in the market to buy ray lewis' house, you may want to bring an interior designer with you. and training could become a baltimore ninja. that's coming up tonight on "the list" at 7:00.
