rotating storms and severe weather. there is no watch in e feefct weo stilill have strong thunderstorms toshef owyou on veer d plop 9000. around the city pl ownwesttof the weather stays quiet and will remain so probably for tht re ofthe evening but the ms that prompted the anstan hour ago or ovur and a halfago are push offs er e chesapeake bay. if you're watching in this neighborhood here, right along the coastline, i would be prepared. these storms have had a history of rotation producing wind gusts 40, 50 miles per hour. so while there are no warnings in effect at this time, just keep that in mind and especially for those of you watching on the eastern shore the possibility of those coming across the bay you might even see water spouts over the open water of the chesapeake. the storms are moving pretty quickly. 30 miles per hour. so if it is raining hard at your house and it looks kind of unsettledded out there give it about 10 minutes, 30 minutes and everything should push to

the east over the chesapeake bay. elsewhere things are pretty quiet except up north we had heavier rain up and down the 295 corridor, baltimore washington parkway still a pretty good orm ndi.aroudw another one dwin baltimore city elsewhere thgsai a frerly ie f or soon as that clusr of msves stout over the watery ink vewe can give it the all clear. switch it over and take a look at the three-day trend going into the weekend. it will be warm, humid. the best chance for rain out of the next three days will be friday. isolated stuff expected saturday. mostly cloudy with a chance for a thunderstorm tonight. low temperatures down to 70. partly sunny skies. high temperatures tomorrow near 90. this system will pass by over the next two hours and then again things should clear out. ghe temperatures upper 70s riw t noan stkyicwith a dew point of 68. everybody will settle back into the 60s by tomorrow morning. 7-day outlook looking like this. as we go into the weekend the best chance for rain will be friday and sunday.

at this point if i was going to pick one of the weekend days i will pick saturday just a slight chance for thunderstorms at that time. friday looking like another day. we could see strong thunderstorms and maybe even late on sunday. >> remember yesterday we talked about you just had lightening bolts for all those days and now i see things have changed. >> yes, a little bit. try to focus when you get closer. friday, sunday looking best for rain. thursday, saturday, 20%. weird news files now. people feeding their dogs pork chops and designer sweaters and purses for their dogs. first doggy kysex to >> no. >> match.com not working out. doggy love doll. it is exactly what it sounds like. a company out of brazil called pet smiling has the market cornered on this sort of thing. you see the picture. you know what, i'm just going to stop right there. >> don't talk any more.

in the mail bag tonight big time reaction to my question last night about why people seem to often get more

emotionally upset when an animal is hurt than when a human being goes down. somebody says a human has a choice to do its nasty deed. the human in the wrong place at the wrong time had the decision to be there. anyone's heart would go out to poor dogs or any animals in the very same situation mishandled by humans. >> at least humans have the law on their side, lisa says. when animals are tortured and murdered the legal system laughs it off. you can't imagine how many times i've heard it is just an animal. anyone who has compassion has to fight hard to win any minor justice for animals and it is never, ever enough. i think michael vick might disagree with you on that last point but i do get the point and i will try to take a closer look at this one over the next couple of days. a whole different subject now. we did get this gem from our good friend karen in alexandria. it is called the way i see it.
