pennsylvania, a little more sunshine up there and a little piece that of trying to come down into western maryland. i showed you earlier how it was just kind of dying as it was moving over into eastern sections of maryland so we don't have to worry about that i don't think either. it looks like those are trying to come across but don't want too make it. mostly cloudy to cloudy at 7 o'clock, still fairly warm out there, 86 degrees. 84 with mostly cloudy conditions at 9 o'clock and 11 o'clock pretty much the same, too. again, could there be a spotty shower late tonight and into the early hours of the overnight. yes. looks like everything should hold off until tomorrow morning. this is a little bit of the moisture associated with cindy, it's really just tropical moisture that came in earlier ahead of the storm. this is 8 o'clock tonight on futurecast. notice how initially it just kind of falls apart. 2:00 a.m. we still look to be fairly dry here. there could be a shower here or a shower there. i think most of what we get will be early tomorrow morning, five, six, 7, 8 o'clock, something like that and it looks like the heaviest

to the north but i think we'll have a wet morning commute. now, look, friday tomorrow evening dry. but if we get enough sunshine, and i think we will and temperatures start to go up into the upper 80's and low 90's, there's the possibility that we could break into a couple of thunderstorms out here tomorrow afternoon, tomorrow evening but most of the rain still wants to hold off. now, this is the real true remnants of cindy coming through. late, late friday night into early, early saturday morning so this is the rain right here that's going to take us to one, two isolated areas maybe 3-inches of rain before it's all said and done but this is 7:00 a.m. saturday morning and it wants to get out of here pretty quickly and then as we get into sunday things look really, really nice so here's the remnants of cindy on saturday. that brings in all the rain and then we end up with much better conditions. seven-day forecast, look at this, 89 degrees tomorrow, 88 on saturday, 84. sunday looks nice. next week at least for a few days lower 80's for ice on
