perhaps down toward culpepper. but right now i think most of us should be okay, at least by 9:00 but your afternoon grilling may be interrupted by a passing shower or storm. i will see you in a few minutes and we will talk about the rest of the week and the seven-day forecast and more storms. >>> today marked america's 235th birthday and with the threat of shower thousands will pack the national mall for a day full of festivities. armando joins us live with the preview. hi. >>> the good news right now for those thousands of folks you spoke about is at its overcast and that means they won't turn into baked potatoes at least any time soon. if you want to take a look, it's not that crowded out here on the national mall sa. few folks have staked out their prime real estate right in front of the monument. that's where they will get the best view of the fireworks later on tonight. now the action right now is on constitution avenue. that's where the national parade is going on from 7:00 to 17th street and that just kicked

to give you some sense of that, james ireland is jailed in culpepper. where he's jailed actually in the 19th century became a baptist church. it's sort of interesting. but these baptist ministers realized this was part of their witness. they could be in jail and preach from their jail cells, and people would come and listen, and they'd get more converts. james ireland goes to the window to preach to the crowd, someone urinates in his face. john weatherford is preaching from his jail cell in chesterfield county, he reaches out his arms, he's praying, he's got his arms out the windows, men come with knives and cut his arms. he had scars until the day he died. in a number of cases people would gather to hear preaching and anglicans, presumably, would ride through the crowd. if you've ever had a horse come at you, this is dangerous, it's frightening, and they would particularly beat the living daylights out of the blacks in the crowd, free or shave. free or slave. so this is the kind of thing that's going on. well, this heightens the question, it's an impor

activity this morning, moving to the north and east, roughly south of front royal and north and west of culpepper making its way north and east we don't know if this will hang together and get into areas, parts of our immediate viewing area but we will keep watching it there is lightning associated with this storm. it is not severe but it is a little thunderstorm activity. well, away from the district. >>> all right to the graphics, regan national, 77 degrees, relative humidity 82% that makes it very uncomfortable, muggy outside. winds light out of the southwest, 3 miles an hour. the forecast today, i bet you can guess, hot, humid, high into the low to mid-90s another above normal day chance of afternoon showers and thunderstorms here and there. look for a high in town, 93 degrees. >>> that is a look at the latest on the weather now the latest on the morning rush hour traffic here is julie. >>> summer in full effect that is why we got lighter than usual traffic volume on the roads southbound 270, heading out to the scales typically at this hour this would still be a bumper to bumper drive. not th

they're now just coming right into western culpepper county across the culpepper county line now into rappahannock county, they're getting a few showers there. then on the west side of the blue ridge in page county. these are advancing toward warren county. and farther to the south another area of light rain around charlottesville. this is heading off to the north-northeast. it may make it into the metro area perhaps in another couple of hours. right now near 70 degrees in the suburbs and rural areas most of the region. near the bay mid-70s and in washington mid-70s as well. out of the mountains, a bit cooler this morning, mid-60s, west virginia. we've had the winds shifting to the south-southwest bringing in the humidity. it's going to be with us as we get through the next several days. you can see it in the sky there over in washington off to the left. and off in the distance is anacostia. on the horizon to the right is arlington. we've got that thick summer haze all around the region and maybe a passing shower midmorning. otherwise quite a bit of cloudiness. during the afternoon, l

dew points, yeah, you feel it in the lower 70s. 72 manassas. 75 in culpepper. so that humid air will stick around through tonight. that means it will be very warm if not mild overnight. partly to mostly cloudy conditions for the rest of today. i think this afternoon, get a little clearing possible. scattered storms stick around this afternoon and early evening. humidity still increasing throughout the day today and the storm chances remain with us all week. but the weekend, not looking too bad. here is a look at the future cast. i think the clouds will start to pull out late this afternoon so we'll get some clearing and again, scattered showers, thunderstorms possible around 40% or so. tonight, should be fairly quiet again. not going to be widespread. and the threat for severe weather, very, very minimal. but it is a slight possibility we can maybe have an isolated, severe storm go through but for the most part, it really should be more of a rainmaker and some heavier amounts of local downpours. highs today around low 90s for downtown. manassas 92, fredericksbu

culpepper at around 706789 so the saddle height and ray -- 70. so the satellite and radar is not picking up on a lot right now. we have the focal point for showers and thunderstorms along the stationary front. the warm, moist air coming up ahead of it. here's severe outlook. you can see it for southern maryland and the slight risk the storm prediction center has us in damaging winds and hail will be the biggest threat if we see that this afternoon. we will keep you updateded on that information. looking at -- updated on that information. more of the same into thursday and friday. temperature wise, today, coming in right around 92. hot and humid once again. those showers and thunderstorms are possible even as we go into tonight with the temperature coming in right around 70 degrees. and by tomorrow, we are going to do it all over again with the temperature staying around 90. let's send it over to tonya with traffic. >> reporter: good morning. penn line train 401 is 6 minutes late. all the other penn and camden line trains are on time. 895, no prob

culpepper around 73 as well. and we have patchy fog across the area.and satellite and radar not picking up on a whole lot right now. again, we are mainly clear but what happens is we will have a cold front that's trying to push closer to us. but what's going to happen is once again is it's going to stall out a lot of stationary fronts and with that, that's the focal point. as we go through afternoon today and also tomorrow, behind that front, though, yes, we are getting drier air in here. just in time for the weekend. and future radar showing you what's happening asway go through the afternoon. you can see the chance for showers and thunderstorms to pop around us once again. and then tomorrow, it's going to be the better chance for the showers and thunderstorms. we could start in the morning and then get another round as we go into the afternoon saturday looks magnificent. nice and dry. today, that temperature coming in right around 91. we have the hot, hazy and humid conditions and scattered showers and storms. by tonight, 71. continued sticky again w

that's going to be the trend over the next few days. 79 in hagerstown. 73 in culpepper. leonardtown, 73 degrees. not going to see any rain overnight tonight. a slight chance of a shower or two as the frontal boundary to our north begins to make its way down to the south. a couple of showers trying to make their way toward western maryland. that's about it. but these two front, one to our south, another to our north, those will provide a focal point tomorrow to give us the shower and thunderstorm opportunity. i'm not looking for a lot in the way of severe weather. but any thunderstorms that do develop could produce very heavy downpours for a time period. so we could be seeing some localized flooding. very warm and humid conditions remain. as the front lingers, an area of low pressure moves along. on friday, depending on where that area of low pressure moves and develops, friday could be a fairly wet day for some of us. not everybody is going to be getting wet. tomorrow morning, mostly sunnily clear, warm and humid. 67 to about 74 degrees. there could be a few areas of fog

we felt it yesterday and the day before and we will continue to do so. 70 in dc and culpepper around 73. the satellite and radar is not picking up on a lot as of now. under mainly clear skies so we will get sunshine. the clouds will start to build in going throughout the day. and that's going to be setting us up for showers and thunderstorms scattered in nature into the afternoon. we have the cold front back towards the west that will drift off toward the south and east and then it will stall out going into the afternoon. that will linger into tomorrow. and that is going tonight focal point for the showers and storms. but there is dry air behind the cold front that's going to move through. and it has perfect timing because as we go into the weekend, things will start to be much better. now future radar showing you what's going ongoing into the afternoon, evening and we have that chance for scattered showers in the forecast for us and then that will continue and be more likely as we head into friday. so friday is going to be a wetter day on tap. saturday looks good. sunday looks good

sure to have the low beams on. 69 in baltimore for a dew point temperature and 70 in washington and culpepperund 7 3. so once again, we are dealing with that very sultry balmy air. the air quality, yes, we have a code orange in effect once again everywhere except for theeastern shore. that -- you should limit your outdoor activity if you have asthma or lung disease. we are dealing with mainly clear skies. the cloud will move in more as we go into the afternoon. and also the chance for showers and thunderstorms waiting for the cold front to approach. but what's going to happen is it's going to become a stationary front and stall out and that will be foe -- the focal point. dry air moves in here into the weekend. future radar picks up on the chance for scattered showers and thunderstorms in the forecast for today. and then more likely as we go into your friday. saturday looks good once again. and today's temperature coming in right around 91. and hot, hazy and humid with the scattered showers and thunderstorms in the afternoon. tonight, temperature right around 71. and it's going to be sticky.

here are the dew points i want to show you because they are high. 71 degrees in dc. 70 in culpepper.er 60s into baltimore and frederick and check out easton right around 7 3. so when you talk about the 70s, upper 60s oppressive outside. we have a code orange so we are definitely looking at some very stale air out there. we are not getting any type of momentum or movement out in the atmosphere and that's why we have the code orange. so if you do have asthma, lung disease, limit your outdoor activities today. satellite and radar not picking up on a lot as of now. but we will have a picks turf sun and clouds as we go throughout the day. and i believe as we go into the afternoon, we will see more showers and thunderstorms popping up. and this is what we are looking at. we have the stationary front that's going to be the focal point if the showers and thunderstorms do pop up. we have a slight risk for damaging winds and also hail. those will be the biggest threats if we get strong storms, the storm prediction center has maryland, southern maryland in that. so we can see future radar picki

right now culpepper is at 72 for a dew point. we look at the air quality alert, we do have this in effect for today. but everybody is not so great especially as we head into most parts of maryland. but as we head over to the eastern shore, that's where you are out of the air quality alert. if you have lung disease, limit your exposure to outdoors for today. especially the outdoor activities. satellite and radar not picking up on a lot. a few showers and storms, but mainly to the south of baltimore around the dc area. that's basically out of here. as we go through time, there's a slight chance for a shower or thunderstorm to pop in the forecast. isolated in nature and it -- pop up in the forecast. isolated in nature. hopefully that will start to build in going throughout the day. going into wednesday, we will have a better chance for showers and thunderstorms in the picture here. that will particular into thursday. for today, though, that temperature is coming in around 90. we will get more sunshine, temperatures will be above nor

we're seeing some showers into culpepper county. just a sprinkle, just enough to get the windshield wipers going a little bit if you are driving out along 66 or toward the south down towards i-95. this all came through a little bit earlier. look at all the rain just down to our south. we escaped this pretty well during the day today. richmond saw a lot of rain out of these storms and even some severe weather. for us, though, we just saw the showers. notice the clearing in behind this system, all because of a frontal boundary that's right now just down to our south. it will move further down to our south tomorrow. that's good news for us. we're going to see some sunshine during the day. we're also going to see temperatures return to the warm temperatures we saw today. temperatures right about 90 degrees. very humid. heat index into the low 90s across our region. partly cloudy tomorrow morning. warm and humid. 66 to about 71 degrees. mostly sunny, hot and humid tomorrow. but looking dry. best chance of shower activity would be south o

dew points in the 70s into dc, culpepper. 73 in easton and 68 in baltimore right now. 67 to york andis how it is going to stay through the remainder of today. the satellite and radar picking up on cloud cover across the area. we had showers and thunderstorms yesterday early this morning and those are pretty much out but looking towards the west, we see another line of showers and thunderstorms and we are going to be getting that as we go into the afternoon. what's going on? we have a stationary front and this front is going to be the focal point of the showers and thunderstorms as we go throughout the day. that's been the scenario all week. we still have the warm feed of moisture across the area. lots of moisture to ring out of the atmosphere. and that's why we will have a downpour, and we could see the rainfall rates rather on the high side. future radar picking up on what i am talking about. you see around one, four and those yellow and oranges and definitely thunderstorms in there. and also heavy rain across the area. than we go into saturday -- saturday and then you see a big smi

more of the same in culpepper. 66 in frederick. the satellite and radar not picking up on a whole lot in terms of the rainfall and showers and thorls and that's what we like to see at this time. going into the afternoon, yes, we have a chance for more isolated to scattered showers to pop up as this cold front advances into a stationary front. it's going to stall out and we will have the chance of showers and thunderstorms this afternoon. and it's possible the further to the east you go. eastern shore and ocean city looks like you will get wet going through the remainder of today. tomorrow looks to be better. but the temperature coming in right around 92. and it's going to be hot and hazy and those isolated thunderstorms are possible in the forecast. and then here's your 4th of july forecast for tonight around 9 p.m. temperatures at 81. the chance for scattered showers and also thunderstorms in the forecast once again for you. heading out and about, take the rain gear in case, but all in all, it looks like it's going to be hit or mi

culpepper at 72. right now, not picking up and aa whole lot a few -- picking up on a whole lot. you know we are starting to see the clouds trying to drift a little bit more to the south and off to the east. we will get a few more peeks of sunshine in here as we go throughout the day. that's something that we will look forward to. satellite and radar picking up on what's going on in terms of the stationary front. and this could be the focal point of more showers and thunderstorms to fire up as we go into the afternoon. we can see high pressure trying to build in behind that front but it's going to be the battle as we go through time. future radar pick up on what's going on in terms of showers and thunderstorms for tomorrow. so we do have a better chance for the showers and thunderstorms as we go into tomorrow. today, just an isolated chance of a shower or thunderstorm in nature going into the afternoon. and then we will do it all over again as we go into thursday. but for today, that temperature will b

culpepper also. also some areas could be seeing fog in those conditions. pretty light stuff. we may have some cells of heavier downpour for this morning. here's a look at our current conditions. temperatures around d.c., it is muggy out there. 74 degrees in d.c. 72 in leesburg, martinsburg, 71 degrees. leesburg also reports some fog this morning. dew points in the lower 70s around downtown. so, again, stayed muggy overnight. muggy once again today. so, warm and muggy morning for your thursday. hot again for today. some thunderstorms are possible for that evening commute. a few could be maybe strong to severe. now, friday, even more storms are in the forecast. here's a look at the future cast. so, for the rest of today, we're looking at partly to mostly cloudy conditions. the showers and thunderstorms threat arriving basically to the north of us late this afternoon and early evening around frederick and toward the mason dixon line. it will be touch and go throughout later today and this evening. and then overnight, should be fairly uneventful. there may be isolated showers. te

points because we have lots of moisture in the air. 69 for baltimore right now. 71 in dc and also culpepperout easton. 7 3. so we are sultry outside this morning. and it's going to stay that way going into the afternoon and evening. the satellite and radar not picking up on a whole lot but i will call a mix of clouds and sunshine i don't believe we will get as much sunshine that we saw yesterday. now, we see a stationary front draped across the area. and with that, that's going tonight focal point for showers and thunderstorms to pop as we go into the afternoon. that warm moist air making its way in here and the storm prediction center does have us in a slight risk for severe weather. mainly into southern maryland. and if we get the storms, the biggest threat will be damaging wind and hail. future radar picking up on the showers and thunderstorms possible into the afternoon. for today and tomorrow we see it and we see it as we go into friday. so make sure you have the rain gear heading out and about. have it in the briefcase. ladies have a little one in your purse. temperatures around 92. i

the 70s into winchester and culpepper. satellite and radar not picking up on a lot. out there as we go throughout the day, we can get a few peeks of sunshine but i will call it mostly cloudy to partly cloudy going through the afternoon and we will see showers and thunderstorms popping up in the forecast as well. and as you check out what he ding on, we have the heat and moisture pumped in. and that cold front is going to slide through but what's happening is it's going to stall out as it hits central virginia and that will be the focal point for showers and thunderstorms to move in going through the afternoon time frame. most of the being a will-- action will stay along -- most of the action will stay along the eastern shore. that's where you will see the wet weather. but make sure you have that rain gear as you head out and about for today. speaking of today, temperatures right around 92. it will be hot and hazy and we will get isolated thunderstorms possible going into the afternoon and this is what it looks like heading through the 7-day forecast here. we are look

gaugeberg 86, culpepper 88, and annapolis 83. and southern maryland you're 86 degrees. it's a nice night. satellite and radar showing us not a lot going on. and the pattern continues through saturday. tonight clear and cool again and open the windows, lows 58 to 68 degrees. around downtown, upper 60s close to 70. and andrews air force base 64. tomorrow morning is a nice start. temperatures in the 60s and the 70s. lots of sunshine. in the afternoon, it's going to heat up and you'll start to feel the humidity go up and the dew points. so slightly sticky and air quality code orange. highs around 90 degrees. and the low 90 downtown. cumberland 86, annapolis 87. also, i want to talk about the autism 5k run on july 4th. it's the intersection of rivers and falls roads to benefit autism speaks. topper shott will be out there early. so we're heating more on sunday, 94 degrees. it will feel hotter. and the humidity going up. the 4 of july holiday -- fourth of july holiday, fourth of july, chance of storms. >>> the team is moving on. >> davy johnson is in charge. he took over the

as well as dune toward culpepper and fredericksburg. out to the east, annapolis, coming in at 85 degrees. around the region, we're not going to see any rain i think today. we're going to see a dry day. the only rain on the radar screen is out toward the beaches, rehoboth, ocean city maryland. there could be more of that shower activity toward the beaches during the day tomorrow. a better chance overall for us to see some rain tomorrow. overnight tonight this is what you can expect. 83 degrees around 9:00. a warm and humid evening. tomorrow morning waking up to temperatures in the low to mid-70s, it's going to be a very warm start tomorrow, humidity creeps up there a little bit, so do our rain chances. i'll come back and tell you when i think we have the best chance of seeing showers and thunderstorms. >>> the barge used as a launch pad for boston's fireworks show monday night went up in flames. the fire was spotted around 5:00 this morning. flames raged for about an hour before firefighters were able to obtain the blaze. the cause is st

culpepper coming in around 90 degrees. manassas around 81.platt ta coming in around the mid to upper 80s. this is going to change right now nothing going on on live digital doppler radar. over the next couple days, i think we're going to see scattered storms, it's all because of a frontal boundary. this front has been draped down to our south over the last 24 hours. light showers yesterday, most of the storminess is well down toward the south in the carolinas, that front will move back to the north tomorrow, we'll see a little disturbance move along it. with that, we'll see a chance for showers and thunderstorms tomorrow. we're not going to see anything severe. kind of what we expect during the month of july in the middle of the summer. partly sunny this evening, warm and humid. 83 to 88 degrees, winds on the light side this evening. warm and humid once again. 66 to 74. 74 degrees in the city, you're going to start off on a very warm note. tomorrow afternoon, partly sunny, hot and humid once again, scattered afternoon thunderstorms, temperatu

dc coming in at 66 and culpepper 73.outside. satellite and radar not picking up on a lot. plenty of sunshine moving in across the area. but you know we are contending with the fact there is a stationary front draped south of the area. and with that, there is a slight chance that maybe an isolated shower or thunderstorm will pop up as we go into the afternoon. but isolated in nature i think we will stay dry and high pressure will do its thing for today. as we go into tomorrow, that's when we will have the better chance for showers and thunderstorms to move in going into the afternoon. and that will be the trend going into thursday and also friday. by today, that temperature right around 90. and yesterday, we had more cloud cover and we held to 89. i wouldn't be surprised if we were a few degrees above that. temperatures above average as we go through the rest of the week and 69 degrees the temperature as we go through tonight. partly cloudy and the humidity is just going to be out there. very stifling and that's what we w

there's one little shower that's just come out of rappahannock county into far north of western culpepper county drifting east. we're near 70 throughout most of the region. mid-70 year washington and by the way and near the atlantic beaches. there is the sky over capitol hill. it's still mostly cloudy. and by 9:00 partly sunny. near 80. by noontime, near 80s and partly cloudy. should be good weather for the game at nationals park. however, late afternoon and evening is when we could have passing storms, and unfortunately, that would be during the time of many of the fireworks displays around the region this evening. so grab an umbrella if you're going to be heading out to that. tomorrow partly cloudy, near 90. getting more humid wednesday and thursday. could get storms wednesday afternoon and again on friday afternoon. over the weekend, only a very small chance of any storms. now, danella, how's traffic? >>> still looking good. i'm checking the local roadways. prince george's county as well as montgomery county looking good. 270 and clain clarksburg, if yo traveling 270 north or south, so

culpepper, 102 is the way it feels there. dover, delaware coming in at 0 104.he rain up to our north, just to the north of baltimore. and another storm pretty big, back towards cumberland, maryland or west of hagerstown, the area of rain i'm watching that will try to make its way to the south and actually some thunderstorms will try to build down to the south and into portions of west virginia and northern portions of maryland. that storm, by the way, around the cumber land area in west virginia is severe. so we're watching out for those storms as they will make their way toward the region. but a better chance of storms tomorrow, as we have a couple frontal boundary, one to the south, one in south carolina and northern virginia, the others developing into portion positive of pennsylvania. we are stuck in the middle, but tomorrow they come over our region and that's why we have a flash flood watch in effect for the day tomorrow for just about the entire area. we are going to see the potential for some of that rain to be heavy at times, maybe 1 to 2 inches of rai

culpepper warming up to 86 degrees. here's angie with your traffic. >. hello, everybody. welcome to the 6:00 hour. it is friday and outside, we've got the yellow light on. we're dealing with some issues early on. let's begin in northwest d.c. where we do have crews on the scene of a fire. this is out on u street near 13th street. the fire, we're being told, has taken place over at steve's liquor store. obviously a big police and fire rescue presence out there. we're being told obviously they're taking away lanes as needed. asking drivers to avoid this part of u street near 13th. no telling how long they plan to be out there. let's move it over to our maps and show you how other parts of the region are shaping up. we begin in virginia and take a look at 66. eastbound travel is moving smoothly. we are seeing a little bit of that volume around 234. over to the maps again and this time, we'll shift our focus to 95. for those of you making the northbound trip, looking good at it, continuing on to fairfax all the way up to the mixing bowl on to 395 heading northbound. on the ou

the relative humidity, quite high. 100% for manassas and culpepper.oward fredericksburg as well. we'll continue again pumping in the moisture throughout the day. temperatures though, as they rise in the daytime heating kicks in, the instability will give us the opportunity to spark some showers and thunderstorms. here it is in your future cast, forecast model, clouds roll in by the 2:00 hour. by 5:00 p.m., scattered showers and thunderstorms for many of us across the region. it will be pretty quick after sunset, we should see things settle down between 8:00 and 9:00. overnight tonight, partly to mostly cloudy. moisture coming in tomorrow as well. so, late day shower and thunderstorm is an opportunity for thursday's forecast as well. highs today, i'm expecting 91 for reagan national airport. about 92 for andrews air force base. most of us will stay muggy tonight as well. we'll hit near 70 degrees for the overnight low. the forecast the next three days, lots of consistency here. around about 90 for each day. high humidity. rain chances each afternoon. w

i think though if you're in leesburg and back into winchester and culpepper, i think the threat of severe weather is just about over. here's why. look at this intense line of showers and thunderstorms from almost baltimore on the east side of 95 all the way to the east in through prince george's county and backcrossing over 95 just north of fredericksburg. these are heavy rainfall makers and a lot of flash flooding going on. so, don't cross a flooded street by car or by foot. we'll zoom in. see the reds here. that's rainfall rates of one to two inches per hour. thankfully, the storms are moving east at about 15 miles per hour. heavy rain in woodmore and davidsonville. also heavy rain upper marlboro. it will head toward shadyside and head off to the east. now, we'll move back to the southwest and this is very heavy rain. i mean just around garrissonville over toward -- south of woodbridge, it is just about to cross 95. this is going to go into southern maryland around charles county, hughesville and the reds again, one to two inches per hour. big time rain. now, we'll back the radar back o

more of the same salisbury. 72 in culpepper. it's very oppressive this morning. the day as well. satellite and radar not picking up much. we are clouds an showers and thunderstorms work into virginia trying to slide into maryland. keeping my eye on that. as we go through the afternoon there's a chance for southern maryland to be in a slight risk for thunderstorms. this will be the focal point for today. stationary front we could see showers and thunderstorms, the storm prediction center has us in the slight risk. damaging winds and hail is the pry parry threat. future radar picking up on showers and thunderstorms going through the afternoon today and tomorrow. and today's temperature will be right around 92 hot and humid and showers and thunderstorms. now over to tonya with traffic. >> reporter: good morning. we have some slow traffic out there. the outer loop is slow between harford and providence. but the but by the time you get to liberty you should be okay. traffic is moving smoothly. taking a look at the maps. 95 southbound between the beltway a 895 is slow.
