so today is going to be the dry day.the last of the dry days and then we will get some much needed rain. since september. .77 below so we need that and over 4 inches for the entire year. as we look at the satellite and radar back off towards the west this is ahead of the cold front that's marching in our area and chicago is still going to be getting wet weather for today and well possibly thunderstorms across the area. this is what's going on at surface. you heard me talk about the cold front and this is where it is back off towards the west and it will move closer to us going throughout the day and cross through heading through the weekend bringing us plenty of rain especially heading towards saturday. but in the meantime, we will warm up for today as we have the area of high pressure just off into the atlantic and we are getting the southerly flow and with that we will have temperatures close to 80 degrees so that's actually above average. now speaking of temperatures this morning, i am going to call it seasonably cool

we are going to stay dry. speaking of the dry weather.s is a great day to get out there, do the morning jog, an afternoon, or evening jog. things are looking good with the high temperature around 69 degrees for today. this will be the type of day where you can get a great photo, send it to www.abc2news.com. and a check of the seven-day forecast, doesn't that look great? the fall picture behind the seven-day forecast. we look that and we will not start the warming trend until the end of the week. now, a check of the traffic with mike. >>> yes. let's do it. nothing is going on thus far. just a couple of issues. there is a car fire at highland avenue. otherwise the shot at 695 it is looking good this morning. and north of 695, as you get out towards white marsh and things are looking good. eastbound at 40, this is the west side of town. and 28, there is construction related delays this morning. so your drive times, go. because it is looking good. southbound on 95, towards the 695, that split, that is a 7 minute ride. the toll plaza on 895, t

a dry direction. and actually it is a moist direction, thester hes are dry and the northerlies are not nearly as dry. these are good -- the easterlies are dry and the northerlies are not nearly as dry. these are good conditions. all of the other conditions are on the good side. including this one. high pressure over the west coast, giving us record temperatures, it now weakens, shifts to the east and that opens the door to cooler temperatures. in fact, cooler by 15 degrees. the westerly winds, the winds not dry and not that strong all good news for firefighters. we will have the forecast with more good news coming up. >>> another major fire in the bay area. this one in sonoma county. it started as a brush fire and then moved to a factory. it started around the same time on mount diablo. we have new information on what happened, linda? >> well, the good news is the firefighters say they now have it fully contained or should be fully contained in the next couple of minutes. 180 firefighters from a dozen

overnight, the dry air takes over and our lows are in the 40's and 50's.and low-to-mid 70's for the rest of us and the same forecast temperatures for tomorrow with more sunshine and warmer wednesday and there is the warming trend, thursday, friday, saturday, and sunday, flirting with 90's inland and mid-80's at the bay and 70's at the coast. >> you do not want to do this if you are hit by a car you do not want to chase after the person who hit you but we have been reporting on the hit-and-run accident in marin county at lucky drive southbound 101. the person who was hit gave chase and now they have ended up at broadway in san francisco so if you are going to be in that area watch out for police activity. do not do that! at the dumbarton bridge westbound 84 at the high-rise we have a stalled vehicle blocking one lane. to the south into san jose we are seeing slowing northbound along 101 at 37 miles per hour and the speeds top out at san jose airport and outside we go, a look at the oakland maze along westbound 80 approaching 580, bunching up a little bit al

this is a very dry air mass. and because it's so dry, there are a few sprinkles down to the south of us, across portions of virginia and west virginia. even though they look like they're headed this way, they're running into that brick wall of dryer air. we have a few clouds here tonight. but tomorrow, once again, high pressure in control means more pleasant and mainly sunny skies for the rest of the week and even into the weekend. vic? >> thanks, bob. let's check on the roads now with kristy breslin at wjz traffic control. hi, kristy. >> hi, vic. hi, everyone. things are not looking too good on the beltway. especially on the inner loop. average speed, only about 35 miles an hour. on the west side inner loop, stop and go there, from 295 past liberty road. northbound 95, there is an accident at the beltway, on the northeast side on the rosedale side. that has traffic backed up to the fort mchenry tunnel. as far as accidents go, still plenty of them out there. in anne arundel county, fort smallwood at whitecoast ro

this place is dry, but it's not parched - why is that?old water flowing down the west side of the continent keeps the areas directly next to the coast cool. that's why the average temperature in san diego isn't that much warmer than san francisco over 400 hundred miles to the north. the cooler the temperature - the less evaporation. but there is another bit of nature's magic at work here. when the cold water comes into contact with hot, dry, summer air it forms fog. fog blankets these slopes during the summer, bathing them in light mist - nearly immeasurable but enough to keep it from baking like a desert! all the winter greenery means that food is available for animals at that time of the year too. and when you get those winter rains and you start to get all this flush of growth it's not just the plants that bloom, when the plants bloom and the thing greens up, the animals come out too. animals like brush rabbits, desert cottontails, california ground squirrels which are just absolutely everywhere out here. and birds - the rabbit up here

continuing to bring in dry air.ow pressure sitting over eastern portions of canada that is just dragging this nice, dry air mass croogzy across the region. we have that spin up to the northeast of us. because of that spin, the air is being drawn down to central canada, which is a long way from any water body. it's dry, cool. you can see, nothing around our region. or clouds southwest of us. these will pass south of the region tomorrow. there may be some clouds in the sky tomorrow afternoon. unlike we've seen the last couple of days. so you may have seen some clouds physically south of our region. where there might even be some sprinkles in our region. not talking about a lot of rain. maybe light sprinkle activity down in that region. for the most part, there's that area of low pressure that is going to move south of us. pleasant conditions, with big area of high pressure. see the model showing a little rain down there. actually, one of the models has a low pressure developing on the east coast. somewhere there this

and the hot, dry conditions have firefighters on their toes. these bay area firefighters just returned to the east bay after spending two weeks battling the rim fire near yosemite. now they're gearing up for a high fire danger weekend, right here at home. >> so this weekend is going to bring a warming trend, a drying. and what's going to happen, it's going to be approximately 20 degrees warmer. >> reporter: with triple-digit temperatures in the forecast, coupled with the dry vegetation throughout the bay area, firefighters say everyone needs to be on guard. >> anything from a campfire, open flame, cigarette, something that potentially can get into these dry fuels, the potential is there, definitely. >> reporter: and things are already heating up. we found plenty of folks looking for ways to beat the heat, including taking an ice cream break. >> reporter: looking forward to going to the pool a lot. that's fun. but he is sort of hard to deal with. >> reporter: and we're back here live where you can see it is already near the century mark here in

it will be breezy but all in all we have a dry forecast. let's check on the traffic with lauren. >> well, the airport this morning, no delays on 95 or 195. 97 also going to be a great day. we have 63 miles per hour a long the northbound lanes at 100. very easy ride this morning as you push up to 695. the beltway, the west side no problems whatsoever. 55 miles per hour on the outer loop at interstate 70. and as we head east over the beltway, remain nice and clear: nothg get in way as you push down to 95. normal drive time of 11 minutes to travel up to 83ment if you are heading downtown, the jfx, this is a live look. and just a normal 11 minute ride the from the beltway down to fayette street. that is your time saver traffic. >>> the jurors in the rockful death case with michael jackson -- will get a chance to rebut the defenses closing arguments. katherine jackson filed a lawsuit against age live. she's accusing them of hiring the doctor. >> glee airs tonight and fans of the show wonder how death of a main star will be dealt with on the show

and we still have dry air in place. so although we have the cloud cover out, there i do believe that we should stay dry as we go through the rest of the day. especially as we have the dry air in place. so we really have to policen up the atmosphere -- moisten up the atmosphere before any type of rain moves in here. the future trend goes into motion. it will pick up on the fact that we have a coastal low that moves in here just in time for the weekend but the good news is, it looks like it stays far away from the coast. that is definitely good news. we will not be dealing with any type of rainfall. as of now, each though we need the rain, a lot of you don't want it on the weekend. 75 degrees is the high temperature for today. and make sure you do send us a photo. tweet it at abc 2 weather, and the forecast looks pretty good as we head toward the weekend. let's get a check of the traffic with lauren. >>> well, lynette, we have been dealing with fog in frederick all morning. but good news. it is tarting to dissipate. that

first, keep it dry. as i mentioned earlier, mold grows in moist places so make sure your carpets, window sills and walls are as dry as possible by letting them air out or wiping them down when they're wet. open the windows. while this can help dry out a bathroom, it also brings fresh air into the home. while it's true there is air pollution outside, the air is often of better quality than inside our homes. so, make sure your window is open to allow for plenty of fresh air to circulate. remove piles of clutter. pests like mice and cockroaches love nesting in clutter including paper and boxes. keep your counters clean. sweep and wipe up any grease or crumbs so they don't attract pests. avoid using cleaners that contain harmful chemicals. for example, products with ammonia and bleach or strong fragrances. though some people think the smell of bleach means their home is clean, no smell is actually better because strong scents can trigger asthma or other reactions. there are safer products and methods out the
