and the naval air station at patuxent river. lots of sunshine, low humidity levels, and high temperatures in the low to mid-80s. angie goff, how's traffic? >>> well, maryland, we are keeping an eye on rods. beginning with 270 headed southbound between 109 and 121, we still have some crash activity to wash out for. but overall, the flow of traffic is moving just fine. the next shot is columbia pike and stewart lane. hardly any traffic to worry about. finally, we are flying high above the bw parkway where we're finding headed southbound there's no problems or incidents past 198 down to powder mill. you're watching 9news now. hmmm... well... naaa... yeah! calculating for getaway. ♪ find your way to a perfect destination at busch gardens... and water country usa... where family-fun surrounds you... and world-class rides astound. start at buschgardens.com. it's the all new sesame street forest of fun... at busch gardens in williamsburg. with four family-friendly rides... and everyone's sesame street friends.

and also the air park, 59 in hagerstown, 66 from quantico in fredericksburg, and at the naval air station river, 70. here it's a tad humid but 40s. many areas with dry air especially for july. we normally don't see this. enjoy it because this is, again, a tip -- atypical. with the clear skies, it's a beautiful morning out there. check out the time lapse here this morning. just a few clouds over toward the horizon. temperature running at 65 at national with a north- northwesterly wind at 10. the dew point 47 degrees. barometer now rising at 30.03. high pressure building in. up across the tbreax. a few showers and storms here -- the great lakes. a few showers and storms here. on the edge of high pressure very warm here. temperatures well over 100 degrees from oklahoma through texas. drought conditions in parts of texas now. but there are the big storms this morning across the northern plains. for us, we sit high and dry, but thankfully with the northerly-northwesterly flow, comfortable. temperatures and dew points will be held in check. stow's going to be a great afternoon. here the seven-d

upper 70s and low 80s. 79 winchester and 85 at bwi but only 82 at the patuxent naval air station.eat in the southern plains and it will visit us briefly for the start of the weekend and make a shift in the overall pattern. over the last couple of weeks this trough and the jet stream has been over the east coast. that's why it has been cool and comfortable. this will shift to the west allowing a little summer heat to visit us in the seven-day forecast. again, nothing unusual. 91 tomorrow. upper 80s on sunday. a better chance of thunderstorms on sunday and saturday and then just about every day next week typical summer forecast with hit and miss thunderstorms in the afternoon and the temperatures in the upper 80s to around 90 degrees. the average high this time of the year is 89. we will be pretty close to that mark all the way through next week. no major heat waves or cool downs. like right in the middle. >> now to a team that's not very average and tell you what, you remember the first time you traveled when you were kids. >> i loved it when my baseball team traveled. you remember

and that is out there, same thing for the air station. they are back into the upper 60s and 70s. and the jet stream, they are off to the west and the mild air, the cool air locked up in the great lakes, one of these disturbances, they will pass by from northeast into the jet stream and that will be the thunderstorm out there during the day on friday and again, some of those will be there and it looks like saturday will be mostly dry and an isolated storm and another chance for some more organized precipitation into the day on sunday. so saturday, they are looking like the best weekend chance. temperatures all the way through the middle of next week to stay in the same. upper 80s to around 90 degrees. so tomorrow, that will be a little bumpy again. we'll keep an eye on that. but relatively quiet they knowing. >> we're think for sunday in the morning, afternoon, i think more like late in the day. and then that would be the best chance of rain. >> they will say not a total washout. >> there you go, thank you, tony. back in just a few minutes. >>> we want to hear what you think. send

still 91 winchester. 88 degrees at the naval air station. speaking of cooler spots if you look off to our north west you can see autumn-like air in minneapolis, st. paul. not before an area of low pressure develops on this front tomorrow night and that will give us a good chance for some showers and thunderstorms. but after it passes, it will just be a slight chance i think on saturday and sunday. for the most part it should be dry with high temperatures only near 83 both days. slight chance for some rain on monday and tuesday as well with temperatures staying in the 80s. so, yes, this was the hottest day of the year so far but back into the 80s over the weekend. >> all right. things cooling down just enough for the nats to play tonight. let's hope it is a winning forecast. >> promising to be a very interesting night at nats park. all eyes will be on jim. chicago in town . >>> no team needed the all- star break than the nats. washington beginning against the cubs who make their first an only visit to the nation's capital. they will send john

that's why it feels muggy. 76 patuxent naval air station and 84 degrees in hagerstown. seven-day forecast looks like this. like i said you will see a lot of thunder bolts but don't let that scare you off. it will be hit and miss activity and the temperatures aren't going to change until perhaps late in the weekend. upper 80s to around 90 through saturday and then maybe early next week we get back to the way it was before. we got in to this normal wave is what i'm going to call it. not a heat wave. high near 85 on monday. just typical dc summer weather. >> all right. thank you, sir. >>> get to our weird news file. he is either the coolest dog ever or maybe he wants to roll incognito. check out fay fay a german shepherd and yeah, he's wearing shades. you see his owner bought him the glasses to protect his eyes in china but now he say he will not leave the apartment without them. he starts to howl like crazy. he thinks perhaps the dog likes the attention on the street he gets when he is deck you had out this way. >> he looks cool. >> he does i think he wants to play the sa

baltimore 74 and patuxent naval air station 77. if will not be as busy tomorrow -- it will not be as busy tomorrow. we'll start you out dry under partly sunny skies. it is going to be warm and even though we'll probably have pore clouds than sun, there will -- more clouds han sun, there will are enough sun to get our temperatures up to 84 degrees by noon. i think the high tomorrow will be about 91 degrees. it would be hotter if we had more sunshine and in a few spots that could be the case. in terms of thunderstorms, i think we get a break tomorrow. they will most likely be isolated. action picks up again, though, on friday. let's jump ahead to the weekend, shall we? i'm always ready to do that on a wednesday. saturday about 88 degrees. doesn't look like saturday will be too busy. an isolated thunderstorm still possible. it will be much more likely on sunday, 87 degrees with about a 30% or 40% chance of afternoon storms on sunday. max hd futurecast shows us the activity oving now across maryland. we get a break for the morning. not

low to mid-80s in most other spots. 79 patuxent naval air station. 87 in baltimore and 88 in hagerstown. for the next seven days really no change in the forecast. all the way through the beginning of the weekend the weather will stay exactly the same almost. upper 80s to around 90 degrees a 30% chance of a shower or thunderstorm all the way through actually early next week the temperatures may change, the pattern may change a little bit by the time we get to monday and tuesday but until that point upper 80s to around 90 with a chance of a thunderstorm in the afternoon and i want to emphasize in this situation even though you see thunder bolts that you change outdoor plans. a 30% chance of rain means a 70% chance it won't. and that's the way you should look at it. >> always helpful. thisaway we love about you. >> roger goodell believes in second cast chances. michael vick are going to get one but are teams going to give him a chance. >> i don't know but if one goes after him can you imagine the circus in that training camp. you think that bret favre in training camp was a circus this wil

be in the afternoon.ye and other numbers, the low 80s out west. 82 in wind chester and 84 at the air station once again, everyone will drop back into the upper 60s by tomorrow morning. they are traveling out there in the northwest -- northwest flow that we have been talking about on friday. seven-day forecast, they look like this. a 20 or 30% chance of showers and thunderstorms. a better chance on sunday. looking like late in the day on sunday, another system comes. in another one on tuesday. and then, the temperatures, they really are not going to change all that much all the way through the middle and the end of next week. we'll be stuck in the upper 80s to around 90 degrees. no return of the same kind of weather pattern we had earlier in the area where we were setting record lows in the 50s and 60s. that kind of stuff. just typical weather. at least no big heat waves on the horizon. still not talking at, you know, mid-90s and the temperatures like we can at this time of the year. >> all right, let's hope that, well, all of them are putting on extra sunscreen today for the redskins trainin

same thing at the air station and 84 degrees at bwi. again, everybody settling back into the 60s tonight as opposed to the 50s like the last couple of nights. take a wider view on the temperatures. you can see the sizzling stuff continuing in the southern planes. dallas is 101 degrees right now. 94 in memphis and our flow is coming from that direction. that's why we will keep the warm temperatures around for one day during the day tomorrow. that will change over the weekend. system coming out of the midwest. that is producing thunderstorms around st. louis and back into parts of kentucky. will drift through and a cold front will come by on thursday night. before the front comes through tomorrow, we'll get into the quote, unquote warm sector of the storm system. the humidity will come up on thursday. the cold front sweeps through on thursday night and actually stalls off to our shout and there will be an area of low pressure that will come through friday night and saturday morning. our best chance for a widespread rain will take place. s

to climb i think during the day tomorrow. 79 degrees in culpepper . 74 at vwi. 76 at the naval air stationeverybody will settle into the 60s tonight. heat off to our southwest and the flow is coming from that direction. so that's why we bumped the temperatures up a little bit tomorrow. you can see some activity upstream as well as far as thunderstorms go. we will see a few of those during the day tomorrow as this front comes through then again our best chance for rain will come in friday night and saturday morning. there will be an area of low pressure developing on that same front. the temperatures will fall off. highs expected only in the low 80s on saturday and sunday and no 90s still in the seven-day forecast. we are in the middle of july. hottest part of the year. and not one 90 in our seven-day forecast. still good in that respect. >> thanks a lot. >>> nats breaking in a new manager or is he breaking them in? >> maybe a little bit of both. >> somebody has got to take the fall for it when the team doesn't play well. the new man on the team. we will introduce you him. ravens. how much

really good stuff for this time of the year. 84 degrees in haggerstown. 82 in winchester. 81 at the air station and low to mid 80s down in fredericksburg as well. we expand the view a little bit. take a look around the country, you can see some heat in the southern planes. it has been a hot summer. the southern states have been boiling while we have enjoyed pleasant conditions here in the mid atlantic region. a chunk of heat will slide towards us. we won't get into the core of the heat and it won't last very long. it looks like by the time we get into the weekend, it will cool off. a bit of a change for us. this system here that is producing showers and thunderstorms from chicago back down to memphis will be the one that might trigger a shower or thunderstorm for us through the middle portion of the week. tomorrow, a warm front will be approaching from the west. most of the day is going to be dry. as this front gets closer to us, we will see the chance for a thunderstorm. that is a dividing line, not so much between the warm and cooler air, but the dry and humid air. we will get into that tomor

the temperature may go up there a little bit overnight tonight. 77 at the naval air station. 75 at theop of the hour in hagerstown. during the day tomorrow watch for a cold front coming out of the mountains. should go through hire some time during the evening hours. out ahead of it warm and humid air mass. once that goes by early tomorrow night, it should turn fairly comfortable going into monday morning. the atmosphere's going to be unstable for the rest of the week. there's a counsel disturbances coming in. we're going to put a slight chance for a shower or thunderstorm in the forecast every day next week. this is just really typical d.c. summer weather here. high temperatures upper 80s to around 90 with hit and miss thunderstorms in the afternoon. so don't let that little line of thunder bolts scare you away. it's not going to rain all day each one of those days. typical late afternoon pop up storms are possible into next weekend really. >> all right. thanks a lot. >>> beau, the white house dog known to capture the spotlight. now the first pup's likeness is taking center stage in a

little bit warmer near the water. 76 at the naval air station. all the cities i was talking about recording the low record temperatures was off to the west and south. chicago at 70. minneapolis, st. paul, didn't make it out of the 60s. that's where the flow is coming from. it's going to stick around for a while. this mild air you don't want to call cool. a front stalled on the east coast during the day tomorrow still. and disturbance move up along that front seat tomorrow night into monday. so that's why we put the slight chance of showers in the forecast monday and tuesday. but that doesn't look like a big deal like it's going to affect traffic or anything like that. it will keep the temperatures down. we'll make it back into the upper 80s on wednesday. maybe near 90. but the best chance for rain this week i think will be thursday. we'll keep those temperatures in the 80s all the way through the weekend. no 90s again. low 80s as a matter of fact for the next couple of days. that's good stuff. just like we have had for most of the summer. >> make

currently 80 degrees at the patuxent naval air station. some of those clouds may occasionally director baltimore but the rain looks like it will stay well to the south and west. overall for baltimore, insta- weather plus futurecast indicates mainly clear skies heading into friday morning, producing cool temperatures again. 65 downtown with white east winds at 5 miles per hour or less. high pressure is pushing the cool air down to the coast. it was down in the 30's of there. the cool air is coming down the coast. this storm will try to pump warmer air in our way. he will see another day like today for friday, a mix of sun and clouds with temperatures below normal. saturday morning, storms are pushing into the mountains and spreading across central maryland saturday night. it looks like skies will clear up for the finish of the weekend on sunday. most of saturday, we are ahead of the front. overall, we might have to dodge a few showers on saturday night for the weekend. the thunderstorm is possible with a high of 73 in the mountains tomorrow

live super doppler 7, sh hser chesapeake bay, just to the east of the patuxent naval air station. the storm scan shows shower activity off to the west and south. luckily, i think all we will see is the cluster of showers to the south today. we look at the weekend forecast and the beaches, too, coming up. >>> coming out -- a fraud alert for thieves armed with tasers. >> naughty words on the cover of a local newspaper are causing a big stir. >> also causing a big stir, are beat mania, 50 years after a day be of -- barbie mania, 50 years after her debut. >>> it was supposed to be a pleasant day at the pool/ . >> turned into a lesson of intolerance. >> these are the faces of several thousand on happy campers. >> i was appalled. >> the sign and outside of the swim club encourages new members. but this woman said her membership was revoked, along with 65 children. >> she said water all these black kids doing here? >> she sd it they did not want any black kids there. >> afteregistering on-line and a check of nearly $2,000, when the campers showed up, there were asked to leave. >> the oth

patuxent naval air station is 62.r temperatures are still in the 50s off to the north and west in hagerstown and winchester. take a look at the jet stream. first of all, this heat that is locked in place in the plains, man, brutally hot. portions of texas under a heat advisory for today. temperatures at or above 100 degrees in some of he big cities like dallas and houston. for us, the mild air stays in place as the jet stream is down across our region. it has sunk to the south and has not -- we haven't had anything to push it back up into the north where it would normally be for this time of year. here is a look at the satellite radar picture for the eastern united states. we are dry. we do have the clouds in over us this morning. in fact, reagan national reports mostly cloudy skies at this hour. but there is still some sunshine out there and there will be during the course of the day today. let's look at what the forecast is for washington for today. we are looking for a high temperature in the low 80s. about 82 degr

81 in baltimore at this hour. 82 down in fredericksberg. 82 at this hour at the patuxent naval air station. ocean city is 83 degrees a decent afternoon. it's summer around here and we're going to get a little bit of sunshine. i don't think it's a perfectly sunny afternoon as we'll have clouds moving in from the west but it won't be bad either. most of the afternoon should feature dry weather. we're not expecting much in the way of showers and thunderstorms until tomorrow. this is the recent satellite radar. you can see the clouds moving in from the west and showers popping up into the mountains of virginia. and we'll see if we don't see a few more occasional scattered or maybe an isolated shower or thunderstorm pop up in washington later today. this is tomorrow's weather. this is a pretty vigorous cold front. that will get through here late thursday and friday. so by tomorrow afternoon, i think we'll be mostly cloudy with a better chance for some widely scattered shwers and thunderstorms and some of the thunderstorms could be strong during the day tomorrow. so we'll have to watch that cold

patuxent naval air station is 82. fredericksberg is 82 at this hour. great looking day.ulles is 84. so warmer than yesterday. remember yesterday we were in the mid-80s and then on sunday in the low 70s. so it will feel summery around here, but most of the shower activity should stay at bay for the remainder of the day. a little pop up there, but very light cloud cover across the area. lots of sunshine. that's the cold front reaching back into sections of southeast ohio and pittsburgh. you can barely -- and in pennsylvania, out towards pittsburgh. you can barely see the cloud cover there. we'll see if we don't see a shower or thunderstorm popping up. but again, this is a very, very weak cold front. a few degrees cooler tomorrow. maybe a touch of the humidity out of the air but other than that, it won't change much. and we don't need to. the forecast around here has been nice for the last couple of days. maybe a spotty afternoon shower or thunderstorm and that's about it, and a nice looking day tomorrow. for the remainder of the day, partly sunny skies, thunderstorm a poss

temperatures will rebound back into the mid to upper 80s out there. 81 in ocean city. 78 at patuxent naval air station. so temperatures starting to warm up. nothing like what they're dealing across the mid sections of the country. it's hot across texas and oklahoma. it will stay hot out there. tulsa, oklahoma, 106 degrees. that's in the forecast. and then oklahoma city 106. i think oklahoma city has been more than 100 five days in a row. so extremely hot temperatures across portions texas and oklahoma and arkansas. they have heat warnings. jet stream taking a little bit of a dip. typically this time of year it's up in canada, that's why temperature have been seasonal if not below average for the month of july. this is not forecasted to change. our temperatures will heat up to about 90 by thursday. but again, we'll see some cooler air as we get into the end of the week. what a beautiful day. clear skies across the area and we'll get off to the north and west as we push off into the ohio valley. not a lot happening. high pressure going to build in here for the remainder of today and most of tomorrow. so

patuxent naval air station is at 72. and harrisonburg at 76 and winchester at 64.lite radar composite for the region, not much to show you as far as the radar goes. we'll put it in motion for clouds over us. can you see the louds breaking up so we'll get a mix of clouds and thunder in the course of the day tomorrow. probably more clouds building in in the latter part of the day and whatever precipitation shows up will be widely scattered. forecast for today lookslike this: another hot and humid day stum in the summer pattern, partly sunny skies and an isolated showers. 91 degrees for the high. tonight, warm, muggy, mostly cloudy skies, humid, early shower possible, 73 degrees for the overnight low in town. then the five-day forecast, tomorrow 86, scattered showers and thunderstorms, same for thursday. friday and saturday has the same thing with highs in the upper 80s. that's a look at the weather. now let's get more on the morning rush hour traffic from julie wright. >>> lanes are open across the american legion bridge. earlier accident gone. lanes are open but the

check out the temperatures. 75 in baltimore. 78 at patuxent naval air station. 79-degrees in fredericksberg. i can't believe it's the middle of july or toward the middle of july and we're talking about 70s at 11:00 a.m. 64 in dover. 74 in wilmington. the humidity will stay in check. more clouds in the forecast today. you can see it. here is your live satellite radar picture. you can see the clouds in and out this morning. thunderstorms and a couple of showers out to the west, into portions of west virginia and ohio. kind of picking them out. they're scattered in nature, but nevertheless there is a possibility later today, if you're headed out to west and down to west virginia and western maryland, you could see a pop up shower or thunderstorm. why the cool weather and why we had such a cool july? well the jet stream has been delivering the nice weather around here. the heat stays to the west. more heat advisories in texas today. i think it be 103 down in dallas, texas. and a nice dip in the jet stream. this continues to deliver the mild air around here for another couple of days. more sunsh

some of the other numbers, 91 in fredericksburg 84 at the naval air station. tomorrow, a little disturbance from the jet stream will travel up to pennsylvania. that's why we have the enhanced chance for a shower or thunderstorm in the forecast. for wednesday, as we head through the rest of the week, scattered or hit-and-miss thunderstorms. even over the weekend we have to keep the chance in there. this over all pattern will continue with hit-and-miss storms with heat and humidity. >> i'm kind of missing the crispness that we had. that was so nice! >> i know. we were so spoiled at the beginning of the month, setting record-low temperatures and now -- you know, mother nature always evens things up. >> yes. >>> citizen complaints lead to a big-rig crackdown in northern virginia. >>> plus more evidence that you should put the cell phone down behind the wheel. >> reporter: we all know driving and texting is not safe. but new research shows it's more dangerous than thought. i'm drew levinson in new york. that story is coming up. if we don't act, medical bills will w

patuxent naval air station is 69 at this hour. afternoon high temperatures back into the mid to upper 80s. a little less humidity and a nice breeze out there. la of the cold front fading off to the south and east did bring light showers to parts of the washington area, south of frederksberg yesterday, but they are out of here. and we have nothing but clear skies to the north and west. high pressure in the ohio valley will build in today and for most of tomorrow so next couple of days are quiet. our next chance for any rain showers, this cold front now west of chicago, that will come charging include here by thursday afternoon. so our best chance for any rain this week, and we could use it at this point, will arrive during the day on thursday, thursday afternoon and thursday night with a cold front. nice looking day. mostly sunny and breezy at times. high temperature of about 70 degrees. winds out of the west at 5-15. and very comfortable tonight. 69 for an overnight low. 50s again off to the north and west. winds at about 5 miles

low 80s, it feels very muggy and tropical across the region. 82 at dulles. 76 at patuxent naval air station. 81 in fredericksberg and 78 in baltimore. so afternoon high temperatures will go with low to mid-80s. about 83-84 here in washington and clouds in the forecast. this is just a great, great illustration of what is happening. big storm off the coast, you can see it winding up, just off the del mar peninsula. so if you're headed up toward new york or boston, there will be a soaking rain this afternoon. for us, that's the cold front. we think it will regenerate in this very warm and sticky air mass later today. so we have the showers and the possibility of a couple of thunderstorms in the forecast a little later this afternoon. there is the coastal storm. we'll kick it out of here. and then behind this cold front after the shower this is afternoon, lingering into the evening hours, it will be cooler and drier. tomorrow we'll have drier air in here. so that's the only change. other than that the temperatures the next couple of days will stay well into the 80s. mostly cloudy out there. hum

meanwhile, here in d.c., at 63, 67 down at patuxent naval air station.take a look at the local radar. not much to see here. in fact, the only rain showing up on the radar is well to the south across southern virginia. a couple rain showers may move across extreme southern chesapeake bay. i don't think southern maryland will see anything. there are some clouds associated with those showers and those remain primarily to the south as well. we've got mostly clear skies. here is your surface map for lingering front is well to the south so that is suppressing most of the clouds and the moisture keeping it well to our south. we will get warmer air working its way in here after the highs in the 70s over the weekend. our high will be in the mid- 80s. so the forecast looks like this. mostly sunny skies. warmer temperatures, high about 85 degrees for today. your five-day forecast is not bad either. tomorrow, we uncrease the temperatures. i think tomorrow is is warmest day of the workweek. highs into the upper 80s. lots of sun. wednesday, a few more clouds. there is

temperature-wise 73 at the naval air station at patuxent river. on the bay 72. fredericksburg 70. same with leesburg. and leesburg is one of those sites that seems to run on the warm side. 71 is the current temperature at reagan national with a east northeast wind at five and relative humidity 71%. we have a big dip in the jet over the east. unbelievable for july that we are seeing such a cool pattern going on across much of the east. all of this moisture just off shore here will take a beeline toward long island and eastern new england. for us, though, still going to be a little unsettled and with low pressure riding up the coast that's why we have a chance of showers and that northeasterly flow will keep us with more clouds than sunshine and temperatures on the cool side, at least to start the week. seven-day forecast 82 today with a show mark with better ch of storms on saturday wrath than sunday. >>> >>> hope everybody had a wonderful weekend. we want to help you get started. if you use the red line, expect fewer and slower trains this week through thursday morning's rush beca

we have the readings with the fog. 64 andrews. 70 at the naval air station in patuxent river. 73 reedville. good morning, jan, 70 in fredericksburg. she calls in and tells me about the bay. it is nice down there. look at all the rain in the midwest. that area of low pressure will shoot off to the north and the east. it will not be impacted by it tomorrow but as it trails this front closer to us for friday, or thursday, excuse me for thursday and then that will enhance our storm chances but by friday we will reduce the chances as it pulls away. here's the seven-day forecast. 87 this afternoon. an isolated storm or two. a few more storms tomorrow and 86. by friday back to 87 with isolated storm chance. hot on saturday. i think we poke up to the lower 90s and sunday thunderstorms with upper 80s. we sit at 70 degrees at 6:17. here's the traffic. >> thank you very much, howard. hello, everyone. welcome to wednesday morning. thanks for joining us early. we begin with a beltway alert on the inner loop at route 7 an accident there only letting one lane get by. we have an ambulance on the scene and

the heavrain and a thunderstorm southeastern virginia north h calithe the co 70 at patuxent naval air station we are looking at the g fo earlier. see with the time lapse of how things improved this morning. gog the upper 80s with a slight chance of a thunderstorm this afternoon. angie has been busy this morning. >> that's right. half way through the 6:00 hour. following that tragic helicopter crash. this is what is going on i-70. we know all lanes are open in both directions eastbound and westbound and last report everyone is moving a speed. 60 to 6 a 5 -- 6 a -- 60 to 65 miles an hour and this is between maple road and route 17. amherst avenue is closed in both direction between blue ridge avenue an university. in virginia, 395 northbound really stacking up from duke to seminary. we are estimating that drive at six to ten minutes right now and growing. moving to the key bridge, traffic is very sleight light making its way in to northwest dc but in northeast dc a report of an accident at 13th street and g street. we are also getting delays on the red line because of a situation at gallery pla

oakland 57. 72 at the navy air station pa tux sen river and jan in reedville said 73 degrees. around here it is a hazy morning across washington. talked about the temperatures again around that 70-degree mark in town with a light northeast wind and the humidity is high at 90%. the barometer is 30.10 and falling. a lot of moisture in the middle of the country and some of this will get here. but first hit the mississippi and ohio valley and then will be enhancing our thunderstorm threat as we head in to tomorrow afternoon. here's our seven-day forecast. 87 today with that thunderstorm threat. 86 tomorrow. back to 87 on friday. more thunderstorms tomorrow and i think on sunday than say the rest of the week. hot on saturday. highs of 92. 5:48. 70 degrees. angie has the traffic. >> thank you very much. in you follow me on twitter, oh my goff is my name. not only do you get traffic alert but metro alerts, as well. on the red line expect delays because of a train circuit malfunction outside of the new york avenue station. talking able our roads, though, this is what is going on the o

patuxent naval air station at 72. we'll put this in motion for you. i love this. and clean that is. your cold front that came through yesterday taking the clouds and the precipitation with it. clear skies behind it. now, we have lighter clouds moving in here. there is another front. that is out to the west. let me show you the surface map. shows what is going to happen with that. as this moves eastward, it will like hi trigger some showers and thunderstorms tomorrow, not today. we could see some showers today but tomorrow is when we have a better chance of that as we'll get a triggering mechanism for that as the front comes through. so the forecast for washington for today look like this. partly cloudy skies, hazy, hot, humid. a little bit of fog this morning. scattered showers and thunderstorms. high today about 87 degrees in town. five-day forecast, tomorrow, a better chance of showers and thunderorms during course of the day and evening. high 86. friday, 88 for your high. saturday, we have a chance of aling shower on there but sunday i think somewhat better cha

but it is 76 at the naval air station in patuxent river and 75 on the bay and 75 hagerstown. 72 culpeper, 75 fredericksburg. the humidity is back in a big way. we have 74 relative humidity 64% and a southerly moist wind at 8 miles an hour at reagan national. nationally still an active weather pattern. that ridge of high pressure with the heat in texas suppressed a little bit. look at the clusters of showers and thunderstorms across the south and the carolinas through tennessee. north of i-40 here. all of this is moving to the east and then more stuff to the northwest of that and around here we have the activity that we showed you. again, west virginia, we will see if that holds together but the big story is the mugginess and the chance of thunderstorms returning tomorrow. here's the seven-day forecast. temperatures, well, we are going to have to fast forward to that again. temperatures will jump to 90. tomorrow we will get in to the 80s. i will come back with the seven day in a few minutes. sunday also looks good, 83. we will get that seven day up for you. angie, it is early for a list t

patuxent naval air station, 75. in winchester, we're at 70 degrees at this hour. a look at the satellite-radar picture for our area. you can see some of of the clouds that are around. i think we'll have a fair a sunshine during the morning hours but as the day progresses, certainly expect those clouds to continue to thicken up. out to the west, this is the rain activity that is associated with a cold front. a lot of it is tracking to the north right now so no big concerns about morning precipitation. some of our views are to the north and west, you might see a shower this morning. as this progresses through, we'll get an increased chance of shower activity during the afternoon and nightti hours. so the forecast for today looks like this. some morning sunshine but then plenty of clouds developing. a 60% chance of scattered afternoon showers and thunderstorms. high again today, i won't say again but high today near 90 degrees. then for tonight, mostly cloudy skies, chance of some continuing scattered showers and thunderstorms particularly during the evening, mainly

and that is most spots for them and 85 at cwi and the same thing for the air station.or friday, that is just a slight chance for some rain on saturday. and saturday, they look like a pretty decent day, just warm with a high near 90. then later again, a chance of thunderstorms that go up and then on tuesday again, another piece of energy that will come by. the táfrps, they really don't change all that much, all the way through the seven-day forecast. just typical upper 80s to around the 90 degrees. but tonight, it's not that bad. >> and you get used to it and deal with it. >> there you go, a great way to put with it. >> all right, now, paying for college is not easily, especially these days. >>> still to come, one family, they are looking for a hero to help save the day. there's something big happening at pizza hut. - woooh, nice! - that's a lot of food! now get big meals like our stuffed pizza rolls, pizza mia, the p'zone... and our personal panormous pizza starting at just $5. the big eat tiny price menu. only at pizza hut. - woooh, nice! - that's a lot of food! now g

elsewhere, mid to upper 80s in most spots. 90 in fredericksburg. 84 in winchester and 85 at the naval air station. if we take a wider view, we can see a lot of hot stuff off to our west and south. this is the direction of the flow for the next couple of days. we plan on getting the temperatures into the upper 80s to around 90 tomorrow. and we can also see activity up stream as far as showers and thunderstorms go. we'll put a 30 or 40 percent chance in for tomorrow as the cold front approaches. the front will go through thursday night or friday morning and then after that as we head into the weekend, an area of low pressure will develop and that will give us our best chance for rain friday night and saturday morning. if you are rooting for rain, that's the best opportunity to take the stuff thursday and friday and the high temperatures fall back into the low 80s for highs over the weekend. so still no heat waves in our seven-day forecast and i think this pattern will hold, like i said, for the next ten days or so. no big heat waves on the horizon. >> thanks a lot. we have breaking news to get to n

has been raining it cooled to the 70s. 73 culpeper. 77 hagerstown. 74 bbi but 81 at patuxent navy air station. saturday is the pick over the weekend. i don't think it will be raining owl awl day on sunday but a better chance of rain on sunday. and temperatures in the upper 80s and low 90s through the beginning of next week and a stronger front on wednesday should knock the high temperature back to 85, 86 by thursday and friday of next week. so still a chance of some thunderstorms tonight. i think the threat for severe weather is pretty much over with. >> got to get the pool float and barbecue ready for saturday. >> that's a good call, yes. >>> coming up, mission accomplished. >> after a 16-day mission the space shuttle "endeavour" is back home. i'm drew levinson at the is y coming up. er. ówlaóo fa >>> i'm howard bernstein with theliaing green tip of the day. are you ready for new pillows? don't throw the old ones away. there are things you can do with them. try to use them for a cat or dog or maybe a friend needs them for packing materials or stitch them together to use as a nice quilt. >>>
