could impact the beach areas and maybe the entire eastern shore, areas the chesapeake east. most likely see showers through the day on friday. high pressure just west of us, we will keep it dry from baltimore westward through most of the weekend. especially into sunday. let's talk about isaac. isaac looked strong this morning, weaker through the eastern central caribbean. now south of haiti. very warm water. a lower shear environment. just what we need to see. getting better organized here. we will see what kind of storm we have in the morning but the power house storm and the track of this will bring it over cuba as a result the storm will weaken and high mountains will probably be flooding rains. the trakas we look toward florida has been adjusted westward more and more so, most of the models pushing it west, further west. as a result it looks like perhaps it's a glancing blow for southwest florida and more of a central panhandle into mississippi and alabama storm if it redevelops in to a hurricane this is way out. this is five-days out. sort of in the land of voodoo for h

let's take a look at chesapeake beach in calbert county where we see a mix of some sun, some clouds thisere, and we can see on the satellite and radar, nothing to pick up as of now, but if you are heading to the tropics, we are looking at a tropical depression. this is number 5. if it does strengthen, become a storm, it will be ernesto. it is poised to move off to the west and it could strengthen as it moves into the western caribbean. as we look at what's going on in terms of moisture, very humid out there, that will continue throughout the day, throughout the evening. can't get rid of that humidity. but we will be dry for the most part. no chance, just a slight chance, rather, for an isolated storm to pop up this afternoon. better chances as we move into tomorrow. for today, though, temperature wise, we're coming in right around 93 degrees. it is going to be hot and humid, so that 93 will feel more like we are in the upper 90s as we head through the day. let's get a check now of the abc 2 time saver traffic with lauren cook. good morning. >>reporter: good morning, lynette. well, route

chesapeake beach, shadyside, diehl, then down around i-95 quantico down through fredericksburg, stafford, all the way to the richmond area, another little batch of rain getting into southern virginia, that may travel east of the mountains and grace southern maryland and the southern suburbs of washington in the next six to seven hours. not a lot of sunshine unless you go back to the west. later today the cold front just down to the south should turn most of the rain off but again down around the lower parts of southern maryland and the eastern shore clouds and shower chances will linger much, much longer there today than out to the west. everybody gets a taste of sunshine back to finish off the second half of your weekend. heading down to the beach, the best day to get there. showery weather tapers off tomorrow. but again the further east you go down to the beaches, could be a cloudy affair this weekend. around town mostly cloudy, rain likely here this morning. rain mainly to the south and east of town by later on today. then overnight tonight showers gradually coming to an end, lows in
