unsettled for the next day or so. as we wait for that cold front to move on through. don't put the umbrellas away just yet. right now from the michael & son weather camera, we have quite nice. we have cloudy skies and we will get some breaks in the cloud cover around sunrise but temperatures should be 70 degrees in town for the rest of night. we're not going to budge too much with the southerly winds then by tomorrow morning things will improve as we start off the day with a good dose of sunshine. so for memorial day another hot one yes. unseasonably high heat moving up into the upper 80s and close to 90-degrees by the afternoon and we have a code orange air quality alert for tomorrow as well. it will be unhealthy for the sensitive groups and a few showers and storms are not out of the question for tomorrow afternoon and evening and a better chance of rain on tuesday. for most of us for the short- term forecast though looking

pretty good overnight. partly to mostly cloudy. that patchy fog should develop during the early morning hours and the suburbs and areas middle 06s. closer to town closer to 70- degrees with the southerly winds but that's going to keep temperatures fairly uniform. only talking the upper 60s from manassas through frederick and out toward the eastern shore as well. tomorrow afternoon, looks pretty good through midday. i would say even late day is not too bad heating up to 90- degrees but late in the afternoon and evening around the 8:00 hour we should see some of showers and storms begin to develop. before the rain tomorrow though most of us will get close to 90- degrees. in fact forecasting nigh 90 to -- now 9091 for reagan -- 90 to 19 for reagan national airport. the futurecast just predicts the approximate timing of the moisture. by tomorrow at noontime if you have any outconsider plans, we're pretty much in the clear

here in the immediate metro area but late afternoon and early seeing, similar to what we saw today but the better chance of rain for us is going to come on tuesday and into wednesday. notice as that front slides on through, we will start to settle in with some westerly and northwesterly breezes and that's going to cool things down for us at least get us back to normal out of the 80s and back into the 70s by the weekend. if you are heading to the shore tomorrow for memorial day, looks pretty good. temperatures move up into the middle 80s and waves at 1 to 2 feet on tuesday as well i think tuesday afternoon we have the opportunity for a little thunderstorm to develop. things looking great at the shore as well. temperatures moving up into the upper 80s to near 90-degrees. the water temperature improving as well. close to 60s -- 65 degrees right now. short-term forecast, not too bad. it's hot for the next two days with a possibility of rain each day. but on wednesday, everything changes. cold front slides on through. and that means behind that front we settle into lower 80s
