also watching it pushing its way on up from calvert county on in through anne arundel county.fact we can take you in a little closer, if you're watching us near shady side, it's heading up in your direction and probably passing to the west side of annapolis, maybe crofton and even bowie or laurel could be getting in on some of this action. while it's not quite there yet in easton and st. michaels it's getting close and we're watching the track of the heavy rain, extending towards cambridge, even lightning strikes there in portions of caroline county. it's good news because they need the rain. we all need it and it's pushing its way basically from the lower eastern shore and trying to head up in our direction. there's that cluster we were focused in on. looks like it's trying to close in on baltimore. over the morning commute we could get rain. as we're watching this semitropical system. i keep saying that because on the wide satellite picture we had outflow clouds last night. it looked like it was trying to take on a signature as it has a tropical feed extending all the way do

far southern calvert county and portions of st. mary's county.ut most morning sprinkles are on their way out. temperatures on their way out the door, upper 60s in the western suburbs, to low 70s around town. up near 90 earlier today, before another chance for thunderstorms rolls in late this afternoon. tomorr, i think will be our hottest and driest day of the week. tomorrow's high up near 92 degrees. >> chuck, thanks for the warning. let's head to virginia. 95 northbound loaded up out of triangle, checking reports of an accident on the ramp from 234 to go north on to 95. so heads up. if you're continuing your trip elsewhere this morning out at the woodrow wilson bridge, no worries. i-270 reported to be incident free. earlier had report of an accident, inner loop of the beltway, one of the extra ramps to georgia avenue, police are headed over to check on that. >>> how you can own the vacation home of one of d.c.'s most notoous criminals. and going the wrong way and out of control. the horrific crash that killed eight people including a number of c

but so -- if you're watching near the coast line there around annapolis down towards calvert county you're looking eastbound you will see some of those storm tops there but there is nothing around the metro area and it should stay dry for the rest of tonight. let's switch it over, take a wider view on the radar. you will see a more significant system moving off the carolina coast. this is the one i thought perhaps would clip us during the day today. and keep the temperatures down a little bit. but it stayed far enough south that we didn't get in on the main activity, with this storm. so behind it the air will be coming out of the north and that is usually a dry wind for us. and i think that will be the case during the day tomorrow and tonight. 86 degrees downtown. 84 in hagers town. 82 in winchester. the air is really dry. relative humidity is only 29%. so as soon as the sun goes down, the temperatures will fall very quickly. so that is why i think it will drop into the 50s in the suburbs by tomorrow morning. and during the day tomorrow, high pressure will be in control. and that means qui
