shape. sunshine returns tomorrow, bright, but brisk. highs around the 60s. pretty much a good deal. not so cool if we have not been in the 90s. low 60s with sunshine and lots of sunshine on sunday. beautiful temperatures around 70. now tonight, showers and thunderstorms, they will end late. again, some could be heavy. a few could be severe, breezy, cooler. low temperatures, 48 to 56. let me show you live doppler. you can access this on our web on wusa9.com. and this is the only storm that we're seeing. mildly concerned about it. everything else is now north of the immediate viewing areas. watching these storms down to the south and the west. and some of these could produce the pretty good rain. and perhaps some strong gusty winds in the next hour around here as they cross 66. but for the most part, we need to focus in on the one storm. remember, this is not tooing long ago. they are moving pretty quickly. it's now crossing the river, up into this area. just to the west side of 270. and it's moving at a pretty

good clip. heavy rain, some strong gusty winds. don't see any hail. but some very heavy rain for adamstown and right around 85. again on the west side of 270. it's pushing off to the northeast at about 30. all right, back to the computer we go. and we'll talk about tomorrow morning. nice. returning partly cloudy, breezy, cooler. 40s and the 50s. with 10 to 15. refreshing wind. by the afternoon, partly cloudy, breezy, cooler. highs around the 60s. again, that's only five degrees above the average. that's 65. and winds are continuing northwesterly at about 10 to 15. here is our future cast. we'll put this into motion. just stop it around midnight. there will still be plenty of showers even into the mid night hours. we go through the night. the chances of the severe weather that will go down a little bit, subside a little bit. some clouds by the morning. most of the showers to the east of us by then. sot roads will be dry. you might have the wet pavement in the morning for your morning commute. but i think that we'll be in pretty good shape for no precipitation falling.
