now back to ava marie. >> we are starting the day dry as we look toward downtown but there are a couple showers we have to worry about. north of gaithersburg off toward the east. other than that it is hard to tell what is happening. the radar has a hard time when the atmosphere is humid. it causes the radar beam to bend when the atmosphere is tense. those are false echoes there. showers could develop at any time. a better chance into the afternoon pure yet we are starting off warm, 81 downtown. 76 at the airport. the mountains are feeling the cooler weather as we are as near 61 in oakland. this means it is human outdoors. 71 at the airport. mid-70's zero across the short. we will not see a completely dry air just yet. although it is cooler today, highs will be in the 90's by the afternoon. even tonight, we are humid in toward the mid 70's. mostly cloudy skies. are high today is around 92. variable wind, waves about 1 foot. current weather pattern is showing the front trying to make its way here. it is basically selling out across the ohio river valley. it is going to take a couple of da

we'll take our first look outside with meteorologist ava marie and i guess some folks will understand this. we're still under the influence of some of those winds that are bringing some of that rain here to us and probably will for much of the day? >> yeah, that on-shore flow is what kept us so damp yesterday and kept our temperatures down and kept the clouds in and we saw some pretty heavy rain across the area. fortunately, this is going to start to break apart. while we are starting off with that pattern once again, we're hoping to dry out. again, it's the afternoon. yesterday, high temperatures barely made it into the upper 60's and low 70's and with that very moist low coming off the northeast. today we're starting off in the 60's once again but expected to move into the mid 80's this afternoon. fog and drizzle to start off the day. if i'm optimistic, afternoon sunshine, a few breaks for it. you spend most of the day under the cloud cover. at least we're starting to warm things up. this is all great news to get all this rain helping us bring us out of the drought. details on that

first we'll check outside with meteorologist ava marie. good morning. >> good morning. not that bad out there. dew points are in the mid 60's and upper 60's in some spots. it's not bad. dryouts, we're improving things. a little less humid today. a lot more sunshine. we're finally getting away from that hot sticky pattern and at least today, most of us spend the day without any thunderstorms. look outside right now and you can see temperatures mainly around 70 degrees. we've got 72 in catonsville and 70 in randallstown. much more of those you get downtown. 77 is current temperature at the inner harbor. forecast for today, mostly sunny skies. just a few clouds by the afternoon. it's going to be warm in the mid to upper 80's but a little less humid so it actually feels quite comfortable. this is back to normal temperatures for this time of the year. later today, there may be an isolated storm that pops up. we'll tell you where when we come back in the seven-day forecast. >> well, day two of the summer olympics and the u.s. already has five medals under its belt. >> more sw

our top stories in just a moment but first, i want to take a look outside with meteorologist ava marie and may get a little drier today. maybe? >> yeah, it's relatively speaking. it's going to be cloudy for much of the day and hard for that sunshine to break out. we started off pretty cool. 67 the temperature. that was the low this morning at the airport. 71 at the inner harbor. so far, we've had at least a trace of rain reported at the airport and most of that seems to be clearing out at least for b.w.i. thurgood marshall but a few stubborn areas may see fog and drizzle through the next hour. clouds stick around through the majority of the day. and that's as we have that on-shore flow. it's starting to break apart, though, by the afternoon. we may see a couple of breaks for sunshine. highs warm up today to near 80 to 85. we continue that warming trend as we head into the seven day. details coming up. >> a big story this morning as police and federal agents continue their investigation in aurora, colorado. we are beginning to learn more about some of the victims from the killing spree.

let's check in with ava marie. really, i mean, we were talking earlier, it's a big mess out there with all the trees and -- >> it's a mess. it's awful and i think the biggest problem is the heat and a lot of people don't have air conditioning without their power and unfortunately today, it's going to be another bad one. we're expect it to be just as hot as friday and it's still going to be very humid as well. looking at h.d. doppler real quick, not a whole bunch of activity. most of the showers and storms are off to our west. there's still an isolated chance for a storm today. that will be far and few between. look at the current conditions right now where it's very humid out there. 74 degrees. that's what we're starting off with at mostly cloudy skies. humidity is 91%. dew point is expected to be in the 60's to low 70's later this afternoon. that's going to make it feel even more humid as high temperatures reach the upper 90's and close to 100 degrees as you get downtown. heat index could be up to 105. maybe an is
