the 60s after a high yesterday of 92. we're down to 63 degrees right now and this is why. look at that wind. northeast at 12 miles per hour northeasterly wind always the coolest wind we have around here. and of course plenty of cloud cover and some drizzle, too. 59 in gaithersburg, 63 back toward winchester. so everybody on the cool side. not seeing much rain but storm team4 radar, radar really doesn't do a good job of picking up any drizzle. it will pick up rain, of course high ner the atmosphere so easier to see. you can see that down toward southern st. mary's county, toward the eastern shore. but we are still seeing some drizzle, the radar just doesn't pick it up. if you're seeing drizzle around annapolis toward croften and andrews air force base that's why you don't see that on the radar. satellite and radar together showing a front to the north, we've got a storm system back to the west. take a look at this thing. this thing is really just sitting here and spinning back toward the west. what that's going to continue 'do is continue to spin the moisture up as it makes its way

out of the south. that moisture will then combine with that northeasterly flow, that nice, cool flow. that's why we have the chance for drizzle and a few more shower he was make our way through tonight and the next couple of days. future weather also do going do have a tough time with drizzle. there's light shower activity around the area, cloud cover for sure. overnight tonight into the day tomorrow, we'll see more clouds, shower activity, mostly down to the south during the day tomorrow. that's the best chance of showers. any showers that develop will be light. we are not talking any heavy rain. we will see no more heavy rain out of this system. that is all gone. but we will see some shower dist, maybe? rain toward the south. but i'm not expecting a whole lot. don't expect any more flooding icht do not think that will be a concern. the biggest concern is it's cool. average high temperature now 80 degrees, and we are going to be way below that. 64 for a high tomorrow in gaithersburg, 67 in fredericksburg, that coming with plenty of cloud cover. warm? no, i don't think so. should say cool there as we look through the next couple of days. your impact forecast will be on

the low side. showers likely, bring the um umbrellas with you as you step out tomorrow u. may not need it. get the small umbrella because i don't think you'll need a big one over the next 24 to 48 hours. now next couple of days 66 on your wednesday, sketch on thursday. we get back into the 70s, although that's still below average, still more clouds than sun friday, saturday into sundays. then on monday, next chance for some storms as highs get back into the 80s. guys? >> thanks, doug. fake bombs and weapons slip right past airport security screeners. new fallout this afternoon in the wake of an alarming failure by the tsa. plus caitlin jenner continues to set records on social media, and wheaties is weighing in on whether she will be featured on a future cereal box.
