chuck bell is here now. already into the 70s for us. >> yeah. as advertised. each day is getting a little warmer and a little more humid than the one before. this trend is just going to keep on going here through most of the rest of the week. by the time we get to the month of june things may start to cool down a little bit. looks like the rest of may is going to be at or above average by quite some distance. i have been mentioning this in the last week or so. looks like we're on track to have the second warmest may on record. warmest may on record was 1991. but we have been keeping track of the records here since 1874 and all indcations are -- indications are this will come in second place. the second warmest may in 140-plus years. outside right now, 75 degrees. not a heat index below 80 degrees, but once we get above 80 with all the humidity, the heat index will be above 90 degrees. so have your lightweight colored clothing ready to go outside this afternoon.

a few 60s on the map, but low to mid 70s. it will be a quick warm-up just like it was yesterday. up into the 80s before lunch time. highs between 86 and 90 degrees with heat indexes up in the 91 or 92 degree range. it will be a steamy afternoon. you can see lots of showers and thunderstorms during the overnight hours out west. these are across west virginia. that little batch going to be going into southwestern pennsylvania. but there's a little ripple in the atmosphere down here. you can see these showers that are fading away with the loss of daytime heating. i think that little ripple comes over us during the peak of daytime heating this afternoon. as a result we could be facing the possibility anyway of some strong to severe thunderstorms. we are into the slight risk from the storm prediction folks. here it is on future weather and our computer model here isn't all that impressed with the storm chances here. very hit and miss coverage. i think it may be underestimating just a little bit. nonetheless, rain chances today

remain high. 70% chance for rain and a pretty good chance at least one or two of those storms could be on the strong to severe side. so keep a weather eye to the sky today. keep your storm team 4 weather app fired up and ready to go. 87 tomorrow. rain chances dropping tomorrow. on into friday. but temperatures well above average all the way through the weekend. monday june 1, finally some cooler air comes back into the picture. good morning. we still have the work zone sticking around. between landover and annapolis road that right lane is blocked. looking good at father hurley boulevard. 95 at 212, a little more volume. no reports of incidents there. route 50 out of annapolis toward the d.c. line looking good as well. 95 after the prince william parkway all lanes are open. 66 out of centerville looking goodall the way toward the beltway. no reports of delays. i'll be back in ten minutes with
