zooming in first to a pocket of showers moving right into the town of leesburg at this moment into aldi along route 50. we're going to see some pretty heavy showers along 29 as well. and then in southern maryland, especially in southern portions of prince george's county where it is raining steadily right now in upper marlboro. in clinton. along 381 and route 4. down through calvert county and dunkirk where we have pretty heavy rain right now. but the heavier rain is still on the approach. and you can see that here as we widen the view and the pockets of heavier rain indicated in the yellows and oranges. even some reds popping through here. but i have the lightning tracker turned on and we don't have any lightning strikes occurring at moment. by the way this green shading over most of the state of west virginia is a flash flood watch and any intense heavy downpours in that area could produce flash flooding. we are not under the same risk because the heaviest rain tray correctory is going to take it to the south of the metro area and not affect us directly. 9 futurecast will give us a lo

right now it is 70 in leesburg and manassas. 64 in gaithersburg.t that's the cool spot on the map. it's 67 in hagueers town and it's 70 degrees at andrews. an satellite and radar you can see that evening round of thunderstorms that we had yesterday. now clearing out and another round of thunderstorms is approaching. moving through west virginia now crossing the border into virginia. and that will set the stage for this afternoon's potential round of thunderstorms. on 9 futurecast, here it is. you can see that line of thunderstorms starting to break up though as it heads over the mountain into the metro area. -- and into the metro area. however we could see a shower as early as the early afternoon according to 9 futurecast. and i think that that's pretty accurate. we could see that line of thunderstorms developing by the time we get to about 2:00. then 4:00 to 8:00 p.m. is the critical time. this is the view of 9 futurecast 59:30. some thunderstorms moving north and west of the beltway. crossing over the beltway just in time for dinner time. whereas

we're at 80 in washington, 79 in gaithersburg and leesburg. manassas coming in at 73. nice sunshine out there right now, but clouds will build back in as we get into the afternoon and evening hours. along with the increasing cloud cover we'll also be tracking some scattered showers and thunderstorms later today. high temperature in washington of 89. that was our high yesterday as well. 88 in leesburg, 85 in annapolis and 90 for a high temperature in fredericksburg. timing the scattered showers and thunderstorms arriving as early as 3:00 p.m. in areas like leesburg, down through other parts of virginia, back around that 91 corridor. as we continue into the late afternoon and early evening hours, those showers and thunderstorms continue to push toward the east. here we are at 5:00, some rain moving through the d.c. metro area, potentially some heavy rain and that could slow the evening commute. notice the rain up into frederick county as well. 6:00, still tracking the rain in the d.c. metro area. that could impact the nationals game. i think a delay would be unlikely sin

high temperature today 83 degrees in fredrick, 81 in gaithersburg and leesburg 83 in fredericksburg,eper and 84 for your high in downtown washington. overnight dipping down to 54 in it couple spots like fredrick and 54 in manassas as well 54 in orange and 53 in martinsburg so nice and comfortable tonight. you can open up the windows might even want that extra blanket if you have the windows open in outlying suburbs. friday you'll wake up to sunshine and that's all you'll see tomorrow a high of 82 degrees looks like a great day saturday still pretty nice partly sunny and a few more clouds and just a little bit more humid with that high of 86 degrees. in the first alert seven day forecast back up to the ance of course for thunderstorm comes back as well. that is your forecast, time again for traffic. >> and traffic pretty busy out there on i95 we are still blocking a lane with the accident we reported earlier at quantico, but here is a live view of the water main break we've been reporting all morning long in alex and are aif you're traveling on russel road, it's going to be between ki

pretty good showers and storms out towards leesburg and fairfax. that is brand-new.the first time i laid eyes on that. still heavy activity west of town. certainly i agree with the fact that it is going to be wetter in the morning on saturday than in the afternoon. i don't know if it is going to be hog wild wet but nonetheless showers. notice to the north showers are thinning out. by lunchtime, temperatures in the 70s. but some breaks in the clouds near leesburg. by 2:00 breaks in the clouds with scattered showers. so it's not going to be a washout tomorrow. typical august day. by 3:30 some showers. by 5:30 some scattered showers again. by 8:00 we see a couple of showers but for the most part it will be drying out for the game tomorrow night in baltimore at m&t stadium. 72 at 7:00, 73 at 9:00. the 70s through 1:00 with scattered showers and a few thunderstorms. speaking of the game mostly cloudy, a passing shower possible. temperature starts out at 7, drops to 72 by the end of the game. very nice sunday, 83. great on monday, 84. next seven days, pleasant on tuesday,

by 8:00, a couple left over stray showers out toward leesburg. for the most part, begin to thin out by 9:00. and then we get into 10:00 hour, probably walk the dog around the beltway. a couple showers down toward la plata. a couple showers toward frederic and that's about it. by 11:00, maybe some lingering storms down toward calvert county. for the most part, after 8:00 or 9:00, things will be winding down. so, day planner. it will be dry to start the day tomorrow. 75 by 9:00. 81 by 11:00 and 86 by 1:00. but dry through the early afternoon. so next three days, yellow alert tomorrow. scattered storms 87. yellow alert. and right now, we'll keep saturday okay. some showers and storms 84. i keep your times for now. most of the storms in the mountains. of course, the big game. the nats in town saturday and saturday night burgundy and gold. should be okay. a few storms on sunday. not a huge deal. an isolated storm on monday and then dry on tuesday and wednesday. back in the mid to upper 80s. >> we have some breaking news right now. a car has crashed in

it does heat up fairly quickly by 10:00 in the low 80s downtown and near 80s leesburg, gaithersburg and manassas. by 1:00 the showers are beginning to form. by and large they'll be west of i-81. a couple could creep over the mountains in the blue ridge. for the most part, get ready for showers storms in romney, cumberland, oakland and petersburg. early afternoon, mid-afternoon hours, storms and showers weakening. everything is green, but getting into winchester, 84 and still in the immediate metro area temps upper 80s to near 90. 5:30:80s, showers dwindling and into 8:00 temperatures in the low 80s. we get residual clouds, but in immediate metro area you don't see a shower or thunderstorm, got to go out toward i-81. by midnight residual clouds nothing crazy. tonight clear to partly cloudy, comfortable, patchy fog comfortable after midnight, should not be a driving problem tomorrow morning, low 60s to low 70s. tomorrow partly cloudy, warm by lunchtime, 62 to 84. by afternoon partly cloudy almost hot, isolated storms begin mainly west, high temperatures near 90, winds light through the da

right now it is 81 degrees in manassas and fredericksburg, 82 in martinsburg and leesburg, frederick also 82 degrees. it's 78 now in annapolis. you can see on satellite and radar this is the storm system i'm talking about. the most concentrated area of rain and thunderstorms will miss us completely to the south. you can see there is moisture behind that leading edge. that's what we'll see on 9 futurecast. you'll really see that rotation here within those showers and thunderstorms. the structure of this system pretty easy to see on 9 futurecast. as we head into the early morning hours tuesday, some showers are possible as you wake up to watch wusa9 in the morning. as the tail end of the morning rush starts to wrap, we'll see those showers pushing off to the south and east. a few more rotating in as we head into the noon time hour, that noon time heating helping to aid in the development of some showers, but again it pushes to the south as we head into the evening commute. wednesday starts dry, more showers and thunderstorms basically west of the 81 corridor, but that same system will

so it should feel nice. 84 in leesburg. 85 in frederick and 85 towards easton with plenty of sunshine. a few clouds moving in from time to time. there's theea 92 on wednesday. but still not too humid. 92 wednesday. 89, thursday. 87 on friday. and here comes the weekend. it's labor day weekend. look at the heat and the humidity. 92 on saturday. 91 on sunday. it is going to be a hot weekend for sure. and we will see a few thunderstorms, i think, on sunday as our front moves through. could see a few more during labor day, too. but not anticipating a washout. these would be typical summertime thunderstorms which means not everybody wi g the but a few could be on the strong side. those seven days, the hottest seven-day period we've seen in august. and that's not even that hot. >> thank you, doug. >>> we have sports coming up, too. nats, not the comeback kids lately. they're in philly.

right now it is 77 degrees in frederick and leesburg. 77 at annapolis. we're the only ones in dc above 80 degrees right now. on satellite and radar you can see how the clouds developed in the afternoon but they did not bring us any rain. rain was well off to the west in west virginia. over here on 9 futurecast, you can see how the high pressure area to our east is going to continue to keep things completely dry. a cold front approaching from the west and northwest will bring us a chance for rain on thursday but not until then. tropical thunderstorm cristobal. here we are with wednesday afternoon. well off the shoreline. maybe bringing high waves to cape hatteras but not for us. then it makes an eastern turn. overnight tonight 56 to 64 with that partial clearing early and then just completely clear after midnight. temperatures will be in the 60s and 70s tomorrow morning under those partly to mostly sunny skies. in the afternoon, high temperatures between 80 and 85 degrees with that low humidity persisting. again on tuesday, 87 with mostly sunny cize. -- s

right now it is 81 degrees in leesburg, but that's kind of the warm number. it's 80 in fredericksburg, 79 in hagerstown and frederick, not a whole lot of variation in our temperatures. on satellite and radar you can see this storm system. it's not big, but it does have a lot of rotation. see that counterclockwise motion? i think that's why we'll see a few showers spinning up towardous 9 futurecast. general -- toward us on 9 futurecast. generally our weather systems come toward us from the west. this will come toward us from the south and you see that line of showers developing just in time for the tuesday morning commute, mostly in southern maryland and that's where the main rain threat will be till we get to the afternoon tuesday, that rain still falling in the southern maryland and northern neck area and then a line of thunderstorms and showers develops west of the beltway in the afternoon tuesday. wednesday we start out dry and then another line of showers and thunderstorms develops, this appearing to be west of the blue ridge, but we can't rule out some o
