i'm charlie crowson. >> i'm megan pringle, thank you for joining us. it was really wet out yesterday. >> it was a soaker out there. lynette what's in store for us today? >> well, the rain has pushed out so we have been getting the best of both worlds. we had the rain move in while you were sleeping and you might not have even known it happened. as we look at maryland's most powerful radar though, here's the proof. right there. pushing out of the area but right now we are dry. and that's going to be the scenario for the rest of today. now we're stepping outdoors this morning. this is what you're stepping out to. temperature in jess up 52 degrees right now. good morning to you. woodbine you're at 53 degrees and 52 in edgewood. close to a half inch in jess up and .35 in woodbine and edge water, .34 of an inch. right now the winds are sustained out of the northwest at about 5 miles an hour in a lot of spots imto about 10 -- up to about 10 but some gusts out there during the day up to about 25. this is what we're work welcome this morning. we had the patchy

. >> i am charley crowson. let's get to it with meteorologist lynette charles and a check of the forecast. >> let's talk about what's going on because we have a carbon copy tuesday on hand just like yesterday. mild and breezy and mostly cloudy and dry as of now. maryland's most powerful radar is picking up on that but we have the chance for showers to work in there as we go into afternoon hours. and especially tomorrow is going to be a wet wednesday on tap for us. but right now, temperatures are quite mild this morning. coming in right around 59 degrees so we are close to 60 in easton and 58 degrees in frederick good morning. millersville you are at 60 right now. we have that southerly flow that southerly wind at 5 to 10 miles an hour. we are getting gusts up to 15 to 20 miles an hour. the breezes will stick with us going throughout the day and i will detail when the rain gets in here. but let's check the traffic with lauren good morning how are the roads. >> reporter: good morning. well, so far so good out on

i'm charley crowson. you saw megan out live, also linda, but a beautiful start to the day. >> it is. we can say that because the rain finally pushing through. last night some thunderstorms popped up, some severe across charles county, also pg county and even into anne arundel county around 10:00. but those are out of here and we are left with dry weather on maryland's most powerful radar. now, the dry conditions may stick around, but there is a possibility that we could see some scattered showers and storms this afternoon. right now, though, in the wake of the showers that passed through yesterday evening, well, we do have some patchy fog out there. so we're looking at reduced visibilities once again, unfortunately, but we just had an update from six miles to seven is miles, so things will begin to go uphill the way -- the further we go into the morning hours. now, three miles of visibility in york, four in hagerstown, five in york right now, and we're looking at 10 in easton. but i think that might go do
