today, get ready for tomorrow. it will be much more noticeable and with that increase in humidity, it will leave thunderstorms popping up in the afternoon. not widespread, no the a wash-out but one or two could pass on through. maybe even have moderate rain with them. summer is going to continue to roll into town this weekend. of course, many people consider memorial day the unofficial start of summer, even though it won't officially start until later june when we astronomically switch to that with our summer sold. 86 at all three airports reported and slowly dropping but not quickly. most places are still in the mid 80's. dc is still at 86 degrees. i feel like i'm blending in with this map. and why so hot all of a sudden? has a lot to do with where blue h is for most of the month of may, it was up here to the north. now to the south. it pumps in a different wind direction and we're definitely feeling that southern

bit of small hail with them. we're not looking for much in the way of severe weather. you can see by that 10:00 that's moved on through. you're going to want to watch between 3:00 and 6:00 for a few passing pop-up thunderstorms tomorrow afternoon and we may do that again on friday afternoon, although it does appear as though there is as much activity on friday. let's take you forward with temperatures because tomorrow morning, we're going to get a jump start on the heat. it could be as warm as 74 degrees at 8:00 in the morning in dc. 68 for manassas and dulles. take this to the noon hour, 87. that's going to be a hot one. certainly today was very warm too. when you factor in that human, it will feel a little bit warmer. and by the time it's tony perkins tomorrow, we're back to the low 70's. definitely a hot one. as we look on the our holiday weekend, mike showed you this a few minutes ago but you saw this just a little bit ago. we got to watch with the possibility of a couple storms popping up sunday and monday. last stop, your seven-day forecast and we will continue to show you all of this. we need to get over the a
