down south we've got 65 at fort belvoir. up north we've got 66 in columbia and 69 in crofton.e on our michael & son weather camera. a nice morning out there. mostly sunny, 71 degrees. a little bit sticky. humidity at 75%. so the muggies are definitely back. with the heat and humidity, we're going to pop a couple of storms this afternoon. mainly west of town. look at the storms last night that hit and this morning across minnesota and iowa. storms we had last night came out of pennsylvania. they had some gusts 50, 60 miles an hour. river road was closed for a little while overnight here in bethesda due to a tree falling. then down in florida, we had beryl come ashore late last night. tropical storm beryl. we had winds 70 miles an hour. as beryl is moving toward the west, kind of a long -- kind of along i-10. kind of weakening. beryl will make the turn and go toward the north. currently it was moving west at 8. as we get into tomorrow it will make the turn and start moving back toward the east and northeast. savannah by tomorrow evening. then it's going to past charleston, wilmi

belvoir.in the upper 60s to lower 70s today, even though we saw plenty of cloud cover and we saw the rain. a lot of rain just to the north, and west of washington, leesburg, parts of montgomery county, over towards howard county, frederick, over towards the martinsburg area and winchester, all picking up a tenth to quarter inch of much-needed rainfall. and there's more rain to come. we have another area of rain right out here in through west virginia. that's going to try to make its way in here throughout the rest of the evening hours and into the overnight. i do think we'll see isolated showers during the evening and into the overnight hours. but i also think we'll see a better chance of rain during the day tomorrow, especially south and east of washington. tonight, chilly back to the west, into the 40s here, but 53 in fredericksburg, 63 in washington around the metro area, we're staying on the warm side with the clouds. temperatures in the 70s tomorrow, near 80 towards fredericksburg, 77 in

we've got 65 for fort belvoir. alexandria 66 this morning.ne of our warmer spots with 64 at baden, crofton and columbia. again mostly cloudy skies out there. not a bad looking morning, although national at 5:00 we're supporting light sprinkles, 67 degrees with a north wind at 10 miles an hour. the humidity still up there. so it's still kind of muggy and will be today. lots of showers coming across the northern part of the country. in fact, heavy thunderstorms in minnesota. but what we're going to watch is an upper storm that's spinning here over georgia and south carolina. abundant moisture around. it's sort of like in a florida sky the last couple of days with all the cumulous and afternoon storms building. i don't see any reason why we'll see much change because not much has changed here. we still have the moisture, the daytime heating. we'll bubble up some thunderstorms. temperatures around 80 this afternoon. back in the mid-60s tonight. showers and storms waning. tomorrow, friday threats for afternoon storms. mid-80s and even warmer towar

it's 50 rockville this morning and even baden and fort belvoir into the 40 oz.. michael & son weather camera. sunshine on the white house this morning. it's a beauty out there. 55 a few high clouds. and a northeast wind at 6 miles an hour. our barometer is rising we've got high pressure centered up near syracuse, new york. that's giving us a north and northeast flow with the drier air. also keeping at least for the next couple of days these showers down in the carolinas. and also coastal georgia. well, that area of low pressure looks like it's going to try to move up the coast and then might get pushed our way late in the weekend. more likely early next week. today we're looking good. and to tonight clear we'll be back down in the 40s in paw spots but mainly 50s of night. saturday morning, quiet again so a nice sunny saturday. preakness is tomorrow as well. weather looks great for that along with the air show. going to be in annapolis i think for some of the lacrosse games going on. college lacrosse there. the playoffs. should be fantastic for that. but by sunday

in fairfax. 51 centreville and still holding on to 54 both at lovettsville and leesburg and fort belvoir to the south. on our michael & son weather camera, got good visibility now that we've cleared out this morning with 57 degrees. partly cloudy skies. the wind at the moment only 13 miles an hour out of the west, northwest but i expect that to be picking up as well. high pressure is going to build in behind this storm system. but until it gets here, that difference of pressure from the low to the high, that's what's driving the wind. we may just see a little piece of upper level energy behind the system spin out one or two sprinkles here, mainly in the mountains this afternoon. cooler air moves in tonight. temperatures as i said early will dip into the 40s, in fact lower 40s north and west. it's going to be a chilly, chilly night. then tomorrow still a little bit breezy but a nice looking friday. highs should make it up into the low 70s before we get milder for the weekend. temperatures will rebound well up in the 70s. might flirt with 80 in spots by suntsdz. 70 -- by sunday. 70 today.

light to moderate rain instead of heavier rain we saw just around the waldorf area over toward fort belvoirmount vernon. as we widen out there are some more showers. back to the west this is a cold front making its way down from the north. that will come through overnight tonight. i do think we'll see some showers. i think we'll see some storms. maybe between say 11:00 and maybe 3:00 or 4:00 in the morning tomorrow morning and then that frontal boundary moves down to the south. if it moves far enough to the south, quick enough, tomorrow could be a fantastic day. right now latest computer models have most of the rain south of washington but that does include southern maryland, areas around fredericksburg, maybe around quantico and over toward warranton. to the north of washington if you live in northern maryland or west virginia i think you'll stay dry just about all day tomorrow so don't worry about your plans there. but to the south of washington about a 50% chance of rain. the good news is that sunday is looking spectacular. highs in the low 70s. plenty of sunshine. i think sunday is goin
