point we could with the original. >> the good news is, we do have all of the clips that are available. if you want to check them out on wusa9.com. >> it's daunting when you have thousands of tapes staring you at the tape. >> with no idea where they. >> exactly. >> what they did looks really good. >> better. >> not high definition there. >> better is the appropriate term. weather wise i guess better is the term we'll use for tomorrow. we hit 96 today. that's a lot warmer than i thought it was going to get. 96. by far the hottest day of the year so far. by the time we get into the weekend, this pattern of cooling off with just a little brief shot of heat is going to continue. let's start with the three-day trend first as we always do. i think we're going to drop down to a high temperature of 83. and if you're rooting for rain to come in, it looks like friday night will be the best chance. an area of low pressure will pass by over late friday and into friday night. but i think it will get out of here for the weekend with just 20 or 30% chance for a storm on

saturday and sunday toxt night partly cloudy skies. the humidity has gone down considerably. it feels a lot better out there. it's still warm. but after the sun goes down, the temperatures will fall pretty quickly. there's still a slight chance for a thunderstorm, but i think 90% of you watching will be dry for the rest of tonight. a chance for showers and thunderstorms tomorrow. that would be late in the day. if you have outdoor plans in the morning or around lunch time, i think it's going to be okay. but late in the day the area of low pressure will approach and a good chance for rain on friday night. high temperatures between 84 and 89. so about ten degrees cooler than today. here is the weather setup. the air today isn't too much cooler than the air ahead of it but it is certainly dryer. the dew points have dropped into the 50s as opposed to near 70 as they were this morning. and this front is triggering a couple of showers and thunderstorms. so far most of it has been to our north. pennsylvania and new jersey got some rain. but, again, dry around here. still 90 degrees at the top of the hour at national airport. but the dew point is only 55.

that produces a relative humidity of 46%. and that's not t bad compared to this morning. other temperatures dropped down to 84 in fredericksburg with a little rain passing by there, but temperatures if still in the 90s. again, i think everybody will cruise into the 60s by tomorrow morning. it's only 66 right now at minneapolis, st. paul. a little touch of ought up. and a little -- autumn. and a little chunk of that will come down. but not before the area of development comes in and ride towards the coast towards nks where we have the chance -- nks where we -- new york city where we have the chance for a rain. we have a slight chance for something both days with a high temperature only near 83. slight chance continues on monday or tuesday for a shower or storm and then we stay in the 80s in the middle of next week. >> nice. >> a brief bit of heat. >> and then we're back to the same stuff. >> thank you, tony.
