is it another one of those hold on your hats? >> i don't think we'll have a lot of wind with this line that comes in later but we have the potential of seeing a lot of rain and lightning. that's how -- i always like to say that we've got to kind of quantify with every severe weather event being a little different. this one, a lot of rain and a lot of lightning, slightly different story for tomorrow. let's head outside and see what's going on. again s atmosphere starting to bubble up and temperatures throughout the area, we are reaching the low 90s in a lot of neighborhoods and it is awfully stifling out there because the wind today pretty light. right now at reagan national airport, it's out of the southeast at 3 miles per hour but this is a moist wind too for our area.

valley moving eastward, those we women have between 5:00 and 7:00 p these could bring isolated heavy rain. and there's your stronger line and this thing is holding together pretty well. we'll see what happens when it makes its way over the mountains but i do think when it does, look at the lightning with this storms, clark dz burg, down to charleston, we'll see a lot of rain between 7:00 and 11:00 p.m. stormy, 84 to 81 degrees, temperatures will drop, but as soon as they drop, we're going to see them rise a bit too by tomorrow morning. 76 to 77 degrees. it's going to be humid and tomorrow morning we still could have a few showers around our area. what's causing this rain again, the same old stationary weather system, watch this, more cooling storms for tomorrow. more coming our way even for saturday during the morning before it heads down to the south. so for the overnight period we have a risk of severe storms making their way eastward with some heavy rain and a lot of lightning. then again tomorrow afternoon, right across our area.
