we're looking at that really newland, maybe getting into st. mary's county. you may get a couple light sprinkles this morning. then this afternoon annapolis 85. easton 86. 86 for hagerstown and 89, our warm spot n manassas. let's go to monika samtani at 5:00. she has timesaver traffic. >>> good morning, everybody. things are looking great outside. it's light. no problems to report as you head in from southern maryland. looking good on route 4, route 5, route 301, 210 from accokeek up to oxon hill. we'll take a live look at the beltway i believe near branch avenue. there we go. no problems to report as you pass andrews air force base down into oxon hill and across the wilson bridge. let's go back over to the maps and this time to the west side of town. i just checked out all the cameras on the dulles toll road. no problems in from sterling all the way into the beltway. looking good on 66 as well. we'll go through live. if you're planning to head inbound at 66 at route 23, a few people already out trying to get to work on time and they will because all lanes ar

and i just want to say, my heart felt gratitude to paul newland and his family for having the guts tonot just fold like so many people would for fear of economic reprisal. it takes a lot of courage to do what they've done. i hope if there's any way to stand with these folks, you will and you'll be like them in that kind of courage. god bless you, paul and hercules industries out there in denver. >> thank you. >> mike: you're welcome. harry reid is spreading rumors about mitt romney on the senate floor. i've got some things to say about that. i know you're surprised. we'll be right back.

national and 82 martinsburg and the whole shenandoah valley in the 80s. 89 la plata and got 87 from newlandight now and cambridge 89. so you see a very toasty afternoon. and looking outside on the michael & son weather camera, just a few puffy clouds with a hazy conditions. feeling like 94 though. that heat index now the humidity the 53%. but dew points been hovering around 7 # all day. a sticky, sticky sort of air mass is on top of us. just need a little bit more of a kicker to get things going and right now not too much. we have the higher elevationst to the west and maybe a few storms will try to initiate over the next couple of hours. here's the futurecast. not seeing all that much going on. and i think that will be the case today. isolated storms this afternoon. as we get into tonight, going to be a quiet night but a muggy night. temperatures only getting into the mid- to upper 70s here in d.c.. 70ish in the cooler suburbs. now tomorrow morning 5:45 and midday as we pop the showers and storms with the daytime heating. they'll fall apart at night and the same thing will happen as we get

we've got 82 down across newland. 80 in reidville. a very comfortable afternoon here. martinsburg just at 80. as you look outside on the michael & son weather camera, we have high thin clouds giving us a little bit of hazy sun. just a few fair weather clouds out there. mostly sunny, 85. feeling like 86 on the heat index. the humidity fairly low at 48%. we're doing well. we've got the showers and storms in the southwest extending up to minneapolis and northern wisconsin. but it's really been along the gulf coast. northern florida through the carolina coast. look at all this moisture. this boundary has been here for days. when you get a boundary like that, it wants to focus the energy and if it's still there when isaac heads this way, it may be a path for isaac first headed toward florida and then northeast. for us, see the moisture off shore? it's going to stay there for the most part other than the isolated shower or storm we could see for the next couple of days. tomorrow we'll pop some more isolated storms in the afternoon. but by saturday, looks like a little piece

down at the pax river naval air station. 66 coming in from bill in newland. easton 65. looking outside on our michael & son weather camera, a good looking morning. great visibility at the capital dome. there's 72. just a couple of clouds up in the skies. calm winds and humidity 71%. across the region we're fine here. nothing going on. you do see some of the high clouds blowing off isaac across tennessee and north carolina. i expect our weather to stay rather tranquil here as we go through today. a stray shower up toward roanoke and lynchburg. quiet tonight and tomorrow. sunny and turning quite hot. it will be an uncomfortably warm day, highs in the 90s. today a nice day, humidity levels down. low 60s and 70s tonight. tomorrow a hot day, 95. mid-90s. saturday low 90s. chance for an afternoon store. i do think storm chances pick up as we head into sunday afternoon, 85. more so monday 85. tuesday and wednesday well, if the front comes through or doesn't come through, we'll call for a chance of storms and in the 80s. monika samtani now with your timesaver traffic at 4:48. >

warm down there with low 70s from tappahannock, newland. patuxent river as well. scott saying it's a quiet morning and 71 degrees. sunny today, just a stray thunderstorm or to and a hot one, highs generally 90 to 95. it is 4:26. monika samtani, timesaver traffic. all systems a go right now. >>> all systems a go. but i just wanted to show you all this construction on the west side of town usually what i do is i put a construction cone just to give you an idea that there's construction but today i thought i would leave them there so you can see all of the different spots, dulles toll road, the beltway, 66. by 5:00 in the morning so by the time you head out the door if that's where you're going, i think it should be cleared. let's take a live look outside on the northbound side of 395. things are looking great here at duke street to the 14th street bridge. this time to the northbound side of i-95 in virginia as well. no problems out of dale city, woodbridge, springfield and a live look this time all the way up 270 down south from frederick to falls road. all lanes ar

phil in newland 71 this morning. here in washington a little muggy but not too bad, 75.s afternoon mid- to upper 80s. if we get a little more sun we might motion closer to 90. tomorrow will be a hotter day and even hotter on friday. we'll tell you all about the weekend cooldown a little bit later. right now let's check in with monika samtani with timesaver traffic. >> thank you so much. good morning, everybody. if you are planning to head over to the west side of town, you see all those icons behind me. that's because there's tons of construction today, especially on the beltway. both loops i would say between annandale and tysons coarnl. you want -- corner. you want to watch your step. some here on the dulles access road inside the beltway as well. so tons of construction there. let's take you over to the northbound side of 395. no issues here at the 14th street bridge trying to get into the downtown area. you'll be just fine this morning. let's go back over to our maps. want to let you know not only do you have construction on the beltway and here at the bw parkway, bu

bill in newland was 63. bowie 64 in prince frederick. 65 degrees. officially 71 at reagan national. still dark and partly cloudy on our michael & son weather camera. humidity at 78%. the winds this morning nice and light. they are reported calm. high pressure in the middle of the country so some nice weather here. very unsettled from florida across much of the coastal areas here from georgia up through the carolinas. a frontal boundary here. for us we're getting just enough instability with the front nearby that we've been popping these isolated showers. had some overnight that came out of west virginia, out toward loudoun county until they really fell apart. other than partly cloudy conditions, it is a quiet morning out there. can't rule out a stray shower or two. as we get to the middle of the day, still looks all right. watch in the afternoon. we're going to pop these bubbles of green so the isolated showers here and there. lose the daytime heating. really diminished that shower threat overnight. tomorrow afternoon again maybe a stray shower will pop here or there. i think rain c

trying to creep in toward southern maryland now that we're looking at very light sprinkles from around newland. this may not be much more than the lowest setting on the intermittent wiper there as these areas of light sprinkles move up toward the northeast. temps are running in the 60s, even low 70s here in d.c. but low 60s in gaithersburg. a few spots enjoying another very comfortable morning. win chester, cumberland, oakland down in the 50s. bowie and prince frederick are at 66. scott at andrews tells me he's at 64 feeling real nice. again a couple of hours till sunrise. 71 here on our michael & son weather camera. dew point 67. so it's a little bit on the sticky side and humidity at 87%. nationally we've got all sorts of moisture in the southwest. stretched out to the northern plains. the gulf coast area to florida to the southeastern coast seeing a lot of moisture. just like yesterday. the boundary is still there. this flow of moisture off the gulf of mexico still there. not much has changed. that's why we're expecting another chance for an afternoon shower or thunderstorm. here's a look a

even bill in newland checking in with 72. the showers, you can see them to our north and west.ht now they're moving from the west to the east. the front is slowly sagging our way. so we expect these showers to be coming through a little bit later but frederick back toward winchester this morning in toward west virginia, martinsburg now, seeing some of those showers approaching loudoun county. they'll be in montgomery county in another hour or so. this will be the problem for the morning and southern maryland you're in good shape so far. once we get the front through, the sun comes back. mid-80s places like hagerstown and martinsburg. up toward 90 here, maybe 91 toward manassas before the day is over. monika samtani, it's 4:26. you ran into some construction on your way in. >> i did. i have a camera shot of it. i got stuck in construction traffic early this morning. i'm going to get to that in just a minute. first of all on the west side of town, of course there's construction and there's several separate stretches of it through the tysons area, through annandale and even down i
