the 80s. low to mid 80s across the board. headed to around 90 for daytime highs. we drop once we get storms in her but they'll start popping up 2:00 in the northwestern suburbs and linger south and east from there. i'm going to keep a chance of a shower into the late evening, even into the overnight, as well. if you're headed out to nats' park, justow there could be rain delay. hard to say there's going to be one at 7:05 as they take on the phillies.a few showers north and west th.ough western maryland we've got a frontal system that kind of goes all the way back down towards kentucky. so, again, a few showers and thunderstorms possible as that frontal system s ks south a little bit. sunshine now, but more clouds later. let's go ahead and start this. you can see by 2:00, here's some of the storms developing. 2:30 or so. and theycontinue to push towards the i-95 corridor. 5:00, just in time for the evening commute, of course. and, again, heavy downpours are ssible.o be p then we'll continue with

lingering chances into the overnight, maybe a shower or two tomorrow mornior. but then m showers and thunderstorms tomorrow afternoon. we do it all over again tomorrow, because that front is parked there, not going anywhere. it's going to stay right arou the mid atlantic. so what are we looking at for today, heavy rain creang flooding concerns and damaging winds, also a big factor. small hail possible. i don't think that tornado threat is all that big. tomorrow, 87 degrees. another hot and humid day. again, lingering shower in the morning and more scattered storms in the afternoon. so hwednesday, another cce for some showers and thunderstorms. temperatures lower on wednesday. back in the low to mid 80s. i think we could have a chancet oughout the day of seeing some showers and thunderstorms on wednesday and then also some showers and thunderstorms possible ikursday, ly in the afternoon. friday, dry with lower humidity. we'll show you thekend comieeng
