to four could be major hurricanes, which means over category three. that is not to say that any of these make landfall, but that's and active season for sure p if this verifies. let's talk a little bit about that season because as we get going in june we don't see very much out in the the tropics typically. prime time for hurricane season is august and september with the peco curing right around september 11. as we get busier this is when we'll be tracking sometimes multiple storm at once which is why they get names. so we will follow that closely for you. meanwhile we know tomorrow is going to be another beautiful day and temperatures will likely be similar to where we were today. i'm going to go 84 for reagan but near 80 for the suburbs. a beautiful friday with again the breeze back. speaking of the dry air, you can see the disirches the city holds onto the heat a little bit thanks to all the buildings and the concrete.

scoots down east of hagerstown, but it doesn't last long. a after the sun goes down those go away. but there is another batch of a little bit little weak i am prulses through pennsylvania that could spread a few overnight showers into the early part of saturday. there could be a couple more downpours, frederick, you may see some of a. but as we get closer to morning most of those are gone with the exception of a few little stragglers around the time of the sun coming up and then the rest of saturday is looking dry. heres here's your weekend forecast. we've taken the thunderstorm pockets out of saturday. we're going to go with the dry forecast with the exception of the overnight activity. eighty-four, that's new and i am profited. sunday if we see the thunderstorms it will be later in the day. a late shower or storm possible as we're a little bit warmer on sunday when the warm front goes on by and a temperature of 85-degrees. this is the weekend set up. saturday afternoon not
