it's overall coverage. we're not talking about a big deal with these showers coming across or whether there's a thunderstorm here or there it wouldn't surprise me either. i do that want to zoom down and show the radar another way because way back out to the west we're beginning to see a little bit of it show up but all dry right now for i-81 and then inside of i-81 up and down i-95 p-the commute is not going to be -- it's not going to have any problems with this chance of showers because it looks like it's going to end up being just too late to be a big deal. it's 79 in town right now. baltimore is 80. westminster and frederick up there in northern sections of carroll county and frederick county low to mid 80's there. dulles sitting around 82 degrees or so, culpeper 81 and fredericksburg has made it up to 83 degrees. here's the evening forecast. 78 degrees or so, so pretty close to where we are right now, even at 7 o'clock, some clouds coming across. by 9 o'clock, i put in a shower. we'll have a few showers out there. again, maybe a rumble of thunder here or

but it looks like that's going to be widely scattered if it& even happens. by 11 o'clock, temperatures are down in the lower 70's, again mostly cloudy, a chance of a few showers coming across and i have to at least leave a chance of a shower in the forecast overnight tonight. but futurecast is not all that bullish at all over showers overnight. again, some this evening. by tomorrow morning, o 7:00 a.m., we should be dry with all of the rain such that it is off to the east of us, okay, so it looks like the morning commute should be fairly dry. question is, where is there going to be some patchy fog? i do believe we'll have some tomorrow morning and that eventually lifts and creates some clouds. so we won't start off completely sunny. we'll have some clouds, we'll have some fog and then as we progress through the morning hours, more and more sunshine and then by tomorrow afternoon it really does look nice. we'll have good amount of sunshine and temperatures are going to be local to mid 80's across the area. here's the deal for the weekend. we say weekend questions. really saturday right now is

going to happen. we think mix of sun and clouds. temperatures upper 80's to low 90's and the the low 90's depends on how much in the way of sunshine we get or where or when a few of the showers come across. there's a chance of a shower or a thunderstorm on saturday, there's no doubt about that but it doesn't look like it's going to be an all day washout. so really hot on saturday. here's the deal. you see this front to the north of us. sunday we're just not real sure how far south this front is going to push, okay. right now we're putting it right across the area, which should keep us in d.c. and the dmv in the 70's, probably the upper 70's, okay. everybody to the south of the front will be in the 80's and the 90's. farther north into the colder air you will mainly be upper 60's, low 70's. but if the front gets a little stronger pushed to the north and goes a little farther to the south, that puts most of us into the cooler air. so, while we're expecting that temperatures for sunday will be in the upper 70's,

could go a little bit different. it could be a little warmer but it could be cooler as well. so right now we'll go 78 degrees sunday. it's pretty much where we were yesterday so we haven't changed. sun and clouds a few showers possible. upper 80's to low 90's around here for saturday so that's going to be a real hot day. tomorrow clouds and fog, 69. we're already 80 degrees by lunchtime. 5 o'clock we're 84 degrees for a high. it looks gorgeous tomorrow afternoon. little hot and humid on saturday with a spotty thunderstorm around maybe a shower as well. 78 on sunday. again, give us some room here because this may change a little bit. we may have to lower that. i may be able to bring that up a little bit by tomorrow as well. we'll keep trying to figure that out. p.m. thunderstorms on monday, 85. sunny, cooler on tuesday, 78. sun and clouds wednesday 76 and it does look like towards the latter part of next week and then thursday, friday time frame, pretty good little system comes through and they bring us some good rain. right now it looks like we may end up with an inch to an inch and a half. i know it's a long way away but it looks like a pretty moist system
