it feels like 83 in easton. satellite radar composite shows we have quite a bit of cloud cover out interest. a lot of it is hazy thin cloud cover. and it's still unsettled enough to be bringing us some thunderstorm activity. generally, that is due to the fact that we have a stalled out front along the coast, and that's creating some instability. and so the thunderstorms tend to form along that line and stick around and give us a chance of things of that nature. also, we have a bermuda high. that continues to pump that warm, moist air into our region. off to the west of us, though, we do have a nice ridge of high pressure. that as it comes into our region over the weekend will dry things out for us a little bit. so it's still going to be hot, but it's not going to feel quite as oppressive. here is the forecast over the next couple days. we have a couple thunderstorms around tonight. then we clear out pretty nicely for thursday. and then you can see that daytime creating the thunderstorms coming in in the afternoo

just to the south of easton, 70, 6 in baltimore. it's -- 67 in baltimore. it's clear and 6 in york, the boundary is stuck across the central portion of the chesapeake. look at the flare-up of showfers and storms. basically rain from calvert to charles and st. mary's county, and pushing to the lower eastern shore. cambridge getting hit. may clip the south side of easton, to caroline county, salisbury and out towards the beaches, getting the rain right now. the boundary itself stuck and there will be some meandering throughout the day, as the chance of more rain tries to fire up into the afternoon. circulation pushing through. very similar to what we had seen on saturday evening around here. through the day, again, the tropical moisture sitting off the coast, not from bill, that is in the north atlantic, but we're watching the frontal boundary that was stalled because of bill. still stuck with the warm moist flow on the east coast. cooler, dryer air from the west and the air is going to moderate the next couple of days. for today, two-degree guarantee gets us

easton and north to about rock hall. and i also want you to note in carol and frederick county right now, soon moving through baltimore and harford and cecil county another complex of storms. we're watching, not only watching thunderstorms, but let's go ahead and look at what is barely tropical storm danny. it's a diminishing feature at best. now i still don't want to close the book on danny, really, winds are 40 miles per hour, getting stronger gusts in the thunderstorms, but danny in still out there and going down the beltway, making lane changes unexpectedly, that could happen with the shore. it's a warm river of water that not only passes by the shores, goes across the atlanta and you hear about rainy london, the gulf stream keeps the southern tip of ice land, their ski resorts have snow-making machines. let's go back to the shot. danny about 3 miles per hour and then eating his spinach and good-bye. we have to monitor danny. the forecast today, the showers and thunderstorms persist with periods of rain. 77 degrees i

easton getting gusty winds. next path of the storm. and then more activity coming down out of pennsylvania. so still a slight chains for after midnight a thunderstorm popping up. tomorrow morning, rush hour dry. by afternoon, pop up showers and thunderstorms possible. as we continue to see the heat and humidity fire up through the afternoon. so expecting to see partly to mostly cloudy skies with a chance for thunderstorms. 92 the high. winds out of the west at five to 10. and then it looks like temperatures back to 86 as the front starts to move through. cooling us down to 83 on thursday. and with chances for scattered showers. friday looks like a good start to the weekend. 85 partly cloudy. 85 saturday. with a 30 percent chance of showers. another hot muggy day out there tomorrow. try to stay cool. . >> get this. a bed that rocks you to sleep, and a voice controlled thermostat. it is a test room that shows what the hotel of the future might look like. >> this project room in germany has no light switches. instead censors set the had l

easton at 73. and it's still feels like we're in the upper 80s because of all that humidity that we have streaming in off of the ocean. for the rest of tonight, 67 degrees for your overnight low. mostly cloudy. a couple scattered storms and showers are certainly possible, and that's going to continue to be the case for a little while longer. i'll tell you how long in just a few minutes. back to you. >> all right, thanks, susan. >>> police say it's all in the family when it comes to growing pot in kent county man. and his daughter have been charged with growing marijuana at their homes. 42-year-old erica arminger is charged with growing marijuana plants at her pomona home. jeffrey is also charged after police found pot plants and drug paraphernalia at his house near kingstown in queen anne's county. >>> it was a close call for a litter of eight puppies in baltimore, and now they're all hoping for new homes. earlier this week, these retriever-mix pups were found by two young men in highland town. the

good morning. 72 degrees in baltimore and across to the eastern shore we're up to 73 in easton. 80 on the thermometer in ocean city. still got to check that. maybe give it a little tap because it's been running very hot lately. compare that to 69 and fog if you're heading north up towards york. had showers roll through last night so the pavement may be a little damp. especially north of baltimore we could have a little bit of patchy fog this morning. overall though we're stuck with the clouds to the north, a little break around the bay and lower eastern shore so you may have some sun slipping through around the bay bridge and near annapolis but otherwise as we climb through the 70s in a hurry we're aiming for only 85 on the thermometer this afternoon which is cooler than the last few days, because of more clouds and there will be scattered showers and thunderstorms developing as well. plan for that, take the umbrella and always keep the eye to the sky if you're outdoors at the pool and on the field playing ball with the

right now, 77, 73 at easton, middle river at 72. frederick is also 70. we see easton southward. in the 50's in the mountains. this is that dryer air filtering in right now. most of the clouds in the eastern shore. thin and low. the further west we go. this much dryer air moves in. the stationary front moving in. sliping a little further to the east. that allows that dryer air to move into the area. an isolated shower near denton. thundershower tomorrow, maybe. west to northwest winds 5-10. 84-88, the high. winds from the southeast but not very strong. again tomorrow, we may see a little shower activity to the south. northward out to the west. it looks dry. dry weather will continue right into wednesday. we do see a hint trying to come in to stay to the north of us. on tuesday and wednesday, we do end up into the low 90's. that chance for an isolated shower south of us on monday. temperatures stay in the 80's. but by late friday and saturday and sunday, we could see some showers and thunderstorms. >> looks good for tomorrow night's game. talking about the orioles playing in chica

down to easton, heavy showers. and down to the south, still more activity from cambridge down to hoopersville. and a little in the southern portion of maryland. another batch to the mountains across to the west of us. so in between, we're kind of stuck with not much. there may be a few widely scattered showers. but there are chances between now and the weekend of some more scattered showers. along with more humid conditions, but not all that hot.

across the board ranging from 72 in easton to 82 in ocean city. go the other way, they are down to 66 in york, pennsylvania. either way you slice it, thick fog this morning. then we'll see sun followed by increasing clouds and i think we'll have showers developing this afternoon. better chance late in the afternoon through this evening with our two-degree guaranteed high of a very sticky 8 5. let's see what is happening on the roads with kim brown. >> we don't have problems to let you know about on southbound 95 as you make your way down from harford county through to about the whitemarsh area, whitemarsh boulevard to the 69 a split. however -- 695 split. however, system working a crash, at bel air road at cotrington, that remains on the

high temperatures today 89 in baltimore. 88 in easton.emperatures right now have fallen to somewhat more comfortable levels. 77 still in baltimore. 72 in easton. it's still in the mid 80s in ocean city. satellite radar composite shows we had a lot of high thin clouds throughout most of the day today. we do have a cold front that is sliding through the state in the overnight hours tonight. it's taking its time. it is going to get through there. when it does, it's likely to stall out to the south of us, and that's going create enough instability that we'll have these little areas of energy that continue to ride along that front. and that creates the threat for thunderstorms and showers. and that's going to last as long as that front is stalled out. we're looking at most of the week there. 72 overnight tonight. mostly cloudy. showers and thunderstorms around. for tomorrow, a high of 87 degrees. warm and sticky. showers and storms around, at least in the afternoon hours. and here is what it looks like for the next seven days. that trend conti

over a hundred already in ocean city. 96 here in baltimore. 97 in easton and even out in the mountains in cumberland, 90 degrees. 81 being the relief right now in oakland. so the heat is already on. it's only going up from here and for more on that, we're going to send it out to marty. >> reporter: good afternoon, everybody. just a quick little story. i was shooting a propromo for a challenge. i was at a golf course in baltimore county this morng not even an urban location. we couldn't drink enough water. this is one rough, tough day. this is the hottest day of the year so far. let's take a look at the numbers. what is forecast, what it should be, what the records are. we're forecasting a life 97. an overnight low of 70. the normals are 86 and 65. the record 100 set 109 years ago in 1900. the record on the chill side, look at that. it was 54 degrees on this date at the very end of that last century. got some good news for you. when we deal with this one more day and pleasant weather comes our way during the mid week and week's end. but this is going to be one very, very long and sticky

feels like 86 easton. feels like 95 at the beach.so definitely a good beach day at least for the morning. then the afternoon thunderstorms are going to roll through once again. so overnight we had mainly cheer skies. we saw the high thin clouds starting to move through. last couple hours. they are going to continue to get thicker. and we're going to be seeing more convection and more daytime heating and on and on and it spurs the thunderstorms and showers in the afternoon hours. take a look, there they are for thursday. here they come for friday. here they come once more for saturday. the chance each afternoon until the front moves through on saturday and then once it does things get a whole lot better for us. drier and a little cooler as we head into sunday. so the second half of the weekend will be considerably more pleasant. now, that frontal system and the trough over top of us creating our headaches is actually a friend in disguise because when it comes to hurricane bill out here in the atlantic it's a big nasty major hurricane

a little drought situation was trying to develop but an inch and a half in easton so far today. on maryland's most powerful doppler radar, highlighting the fact they've had more rain, light showers now but some thunderstorms could re-develop this afternoon. we'll be right back with our two-degree guaranteed forecast after this.

and 73 in the path of the storms. 73 in baltimore, 86 in easton. right now, it doesn't feel like it. it feels warmer than that because of the humidity that's building. it still feels we're in the mid-90s in easton. in hagerstown, it feels like we're at 90 degrees. no watches and warnings for the immediate area or for the state. they keep popping up here and there up to the north of us. we're seeing flash flood warnings for parts of pennsylvania in york and lancaster counties because of the thunderstorms. they're the pop up variety. what's happening is you have the heat and humidity. things just get more unstable and atmosphere can't hold it. you get the storms developing that go through and dump a quick quarter to maybe a half inch of rain wherever they land aand they cool down a bit. it goes on its merry way and pops up somewhere else. temperature huff wise, baltimore 77, but look at laurel. you can tell they just had a storm pass through. they are quite a bit cooler that be, say, annapolis, which is still in the 08s. what we're looking at for the

easton at 90 degrees. a look at the heat index, easton feels like 105. 100 in dover. feels like 96 right now in downtown baltimore. the tropical atlantic, take a look alternate what's going on behind our logo. yeah, there's hurricane bill. very strong storm, but not as strong as yesterday. it's lost a little bit of power. psyche where it is in relationship to florida and the carolinas. still way out in the atlantic here. the national hurricane center still thinks bill will curve to the north as a category three or four storm. right now 125 miles per hour for the winds. still a dangerous storm. moving at 16 miles per hour, but as it moves northward it will run into cooler water which means it will limit it a bit. it's not threatening the continental united states though. it's turning. a few clouds around today, but lots of sunshine. that moisture flow continues to give us all that humidity up the eastern sea board, which is giving rise to the shower and thunderstorm activity, which is currently showing up on maryland's most popular radar. the activity in pennsylvania i

we're down to 82 now in easton. and 83 now at bwi. satellite and radar pictures, boy, we cleared off nicely. we had fair weather clouds today. that's what we're seeing here. almost no precipitation. one straight shower in calvert county. we'll hoe you the weather-maker that will play a little havoc for some beach areas, especially as you go south of ocean city, again, down toward virginia beach, the tidewater, toward cape hatteras. that's where we're watching active weather. but the storm system should stay not just south and east of us. but high pressure over here over kentucky and west virginia that is sliding steadily east. that should keep it at bay, just barely south and east of us. we're look good not just in baltimore, but toward the beaches this weekend. let's take a look at the forecast in detail. again, watch as we go into saturday afternoon. you see that weather counts for richmond. not much, though, across baltimore and ocean city. then as we go into the day on sunday, a hotter day on tap. i think we'll get a lot of sunshi

, just south of easton getting a few scattered showers.hese showers out in west virginia will not bother us. we're going have a mostly clear sky tonight. right now maryland's most powerful radar indicating some pretty good heavy shower activity right there. as you can see around the black water, salisbury getting scattered showers. but ocean city looks like they are precipitation-free. temperatures right now, from the storm center weather net, live data, 80 in potomac. 80 in reisterstown. northeast at 79. galena at 80 degrees. 79 in denton. and cambridge currently at 82 degrees. but they all cool down quickly because showers are in the neighborhood. as far as the forecast for tonight, all of the showers stay south of the region. during the day tomorrow, lots of sunshine, more heat comes back into the weather picture, and that's going to build even into wednesday. mostly clear, cooler. overnight low down to 64 degrees. but litter than that. don't be at all surprised to see a 59 or 60-degree overnight low. during the day tomorrow, lots of su

let's look at temperatures around the state. 70 baltimore. 74 hagerstown. 70 in easton.re seeing some clouds around. they are high thin ones so they should burn off and clear out pretty nicely later on this morning. let's look, there's the 12-hour forecast, around 70 degrees most places as we wake up. noontime we're looking at 85 degrees and mostly sunny skies. mostly sunny still for us this afternoon. a high of 91 degrees. so another muggy one for us. another hot one. that is going to continue on into tomorrow. >>> let's see what's happening on the roads with kim. >> thank you. 83 southbound is running very smoothly from the pennsylvania state line us a make your way to the beltway. so is 95 southbound coming down from about the harford county line through to about the whitemarsh boulevard area, running without problems incident-free this morning. however, we have a couple of lane closures, because of some overnight construction projects. that should be getting picked up probably in the next half-hour to hour or so. that is 395 southbound approaching 95, right lane bloc

and for the most part, down around easton and over toward ocean city. we're starting to see some thunderstorms. and they are going to continue through the afternoon. just a very active storm system in place. again, flash flood watch in effect for much of the area through late tonight. with all of that said, here are your temperatures right now. 76 degrees at bwi marshall. moisture still very high in the atmosphere. 87% relative humidity. northeast wind at 7 miles per hour. 29.97 and falling is the barometer reading. and around the state, temperatures ranging from about 66 in oakland to 87 in ocean city, where it's still pretty warm. folks enjoying this very calm and pretty mild saturday. or saturday will be that way as well. but this very calm storm moving in. and i said calm storm. because this is really going to be just a disjointed mess moving through. that's all we can call it. danny is a disorganized storm. and we're going to be showing you how that's going to impact us. the storms from 2:00 on saturday, just below, the outer banks to about 2:00 p.

that's about as hot as it has gotten today. 82 in easton. and as you head toward philly, even cooler. 75 degrees where it is cloudier. the forecast, a pretty good day to get out on the water tomorrow. looking at a high tide, just about 1:00 tomorrow afternoon. low tide just about 7 p.m. light east breeze through the day. and the water temp right now still about 80 degrees. so it is warm out there in the bay waters. look for sunset just after 8:00 tomorrow night. satellite radar pictures close in view here. again, if you look closely, there is not a lot of rain. some really isolated pop-up showers. but of course the biggest one passing right through the heart of downtown as everyone gets ready for the game. that's how it goes sometimes. hey, at least it's blowing out in time for kickoff a little later this evening. and your satellite broad picture here showing really the most active weather is actually offshore, out over the atlantic ocean right now. we have a broad area of high pressure back across the upper midwest. and you do see the showe

it feels like 100 in easton. 102 in dover. 106 at ocean city. feels like we're up beyond the mid 90s. and that's what makes it dangerous to us. it's hard to breathe out there when it gets that soupy. the radar shows mainly clear skies throughout the day most of the day today. we have a few clouds starting to move in now as we head towards the evening hours, and a couple of showers. we have a lynn of showers and thunderstorms that is trying to make its way over the mountain range in the west. we'll have some of it coming into our region. most of it is going to pass to the north of us along the mason dixon line, the most likely place to see the showers and the thunderstorms possibly developing. but for the most part, most of us are going to stay dry. as we wide ten picture, you can see clearer skies along the coast to the south of us. this is a large area of high pressure. this is what is keeping that area clear. it's also bringing the warm temperatures, the heat and humidity right in out of the deep south up into our region. that's why it feels s

they're already down in the low 70s. 88 in easton. it certainly means it feels hot because the air is so juicy. the heat index is showing us as feeling in the low 90s. it feels like 98 in easton. you can tell they haven't had any storm activity yet. composite shows high thin clouds throughout most of the day across at least the northern part of the state that continues to spread across the region. we're seeing a little bit of thundershower activity. that is mainly to the north of us, mainly to the west. seeing it down to the south of us. therefore, if it's all around us, we're likely to see it in our area too. there is a big area of high pressure that is swirling around here along the atlantic ocean, off the coastline. this is what pumps all that warm, moist air into our region. things are a little unsettled, just because of the amount of juice, so to speak, in the atmosphere. we have a cold front that is right now in new york, that is making its way down into maryland. as it does, we'll be seeing that tonight spark a couple of shower

an eastern shore couple's brand- new car was stolen right out of the garage of the dealership in easton. the car was recovered, but as abc 2 news linda so reports, the couple's record deal far from over. >> reporter: elizabeth and kevin weiss never thought they would be stuck driving a rental just months after buying a brand-new car. >> i feel like we're being punished for someone else's negligence and someone else's crime. >> reporter: back in june, elizabeth took her car in to the dealership in easton for a repair. as she was waiting, the unthinkable happened. a man walked into the garage and drove away with her car. >> and the general manager came and got me and told me that he had bad news. he pulled me into his office, and said that a car had been stolen from their lot that day, and unfortunately it was my car. that it had never happened to them before. but it was my car. >> reporter: almost weeks later, police recovered the car, and the suspect had allegedly used the car to rob a jewelry store. and it had also been involved in an acnt

that's officially at the airport. 91 in york. 94 in hagerstown. 92 in dover, delaware, and 91 in easton. that's currently where we are right now is the high temperature of the day. but the heat index, when you factor in that humidity and the dew points, that's where it becomes unbearable. 99 in hagerstown. 97 in winchester, virginia. 100 degrees is what it feels like in baltimore. 103 in easton. it feels like 110 in ocean city. you can expect everybody in the ocean, or at least finding a pool if they're at the each right now. satellite radar composite shows mostly clear skies throughout the day. today that will continue to be the case for us for the next hour or so. then we're going to see a few more clouds moving in. we do have a line of showers. a little bit of thunderstorm activity. right now it's on the other side of the mountains. some of it may make its way into our region. if it does, it won't be until later on tonight. as we widen that picture, this big clear area down to the south of us, that is the high pressure that is just pumping this warm southerly air. it comes in right o

rock hall 72. 74 in easton. and dover, delaware right now 76 degrees. here your forecast for the overnight period. mostly clear skies. and during the day tomorrow, we'll see sunshine. but a pop-up thunderstorm is possible. and then on wednesday, another shot for showers and thunderstorms making their way into the region. basically, next 24 to 36 hours going to be on the warm and humid side. mostly clear, mild, 72 for the low. but it's going to be cooler than that in the suburbs. that's your low in the downtown area. tomorrow we've got a daytime high of 91 degrees with mostly sunny skies ball. few pop-up p.m. thunderstorms are likely in the area, because of the heat and humidity. that's your 2-degree guarantee for tomorrow. the extended outlook for the next seven days. the 91 tomorrow followed by 89 with scattered showers and thunderstorms. the front will bring in cooler air for thursday. then on friday a little cooler. saturday partly cloudy, 83. the sunday and monday again, chance for isolated thunderstorm activity with a high of 85 degrees. check in w

it feels like we're in the upper 90s in easton.an city, maryland feels like we're above 100 degrees. satellite radar composite. high, thin clouds for most of the day today. that has helped prevent our temperatures from climbing up into the 90s. instead we stayed in the upper 80s today. you can see the thunderstorm activity popping up to the north of us there along the mason-dixon line. they're to the south and to the west of us. that means we certainly have the chance. the atmosphere is just unstable enough that the daytime heating can fire things up pretty well. so we may see a couple of thunderstorms around the region tonight. also, there is a front that is well to the north of us that is making its way down towards maryland. as it does, it comes through tonight. we're looking at an increased chance of thunderstorms, really late into the night, right around midnight or so, in the early morning hours of tomorrow. that front as it passes through, that is most likely to stall out just to the south of us. and that still affects us. w

it feels like we're up in the 90s. 98 in easton. it feels like over 100 in ocean city. satellite radar composite. lots of high thin clouds around for most of the day. it didn't really block out the sun completely, but it did help keep our temperatures down a little bit from where they were yesterday, and then we have a couple of the storms that are forming well off to the west of us and the north of us. we're seeing a line of thunderstorms. a lot of activity down to the south of us. it's all around us. chances are we are likely to see it as well in our area. so be aware of that tonight. big area of high pressure to the south of us in the atlantic ocean. this is what is keeping us in this type of weather. it's just pumping. it acts as a heat pump really. it pumps the warm, moist air up into our region. that's going to continue to be the case. we do have a cold front that is in new york state. it's slowly making its way down into our region. as it does, it's going to bring us a bit of relief, and then it will stall to the south of us. when that happens, that's going to ke

temperaturewise we're looking around the upper 70s to low 80s across the region. 81 easton. ocean city at 87. it will be a great beach day there the heat index makes it feel like 96. 92 feels like in easton. feels like mid-80s in the center part of the state. we have mostly clear skies now. the clouds will be developing and moving in throughout the afternoon hours. we have a trough that is stalling out over the mid-atlantic region. that is going to create the increased chance of thunderstorms and showers not only this afternoon but then a repeat for thursday as well as for friday afternoon. so, that is sort of annoying but that trough is going to keep us safe from hurricane bill. hurricane bill out in the middle of the atlantic now, approaching the caribbean, very well formed storm, very deep in pressure. you can see it really well developed, the eyewall, a howj storm and grown immensely in the past couple days. it's now a category 4, winds sustained at 135 miles per hour, gusts as high as 161 miles per hour. there's the track it takes. towards the mainland united states. th

temperatures right now have settled down somewhat, 79 in easton. 86 still in ocean city.a warm, sticky night for us. satellite composite shows we had a few clouds around moving into this evening. and there is a line of storms that just sort of bubbled up, came across the region, now over on the eastern shore. soon it's going to be out of there. we're looking at another half hour to an hour before it's cleared out. beyond that, we're looking at the slight chance of a couple of showers and thunderstorms still possible in isolated areas as we move into the rest of the overnight hours. as we widen the picture, you can see as we head into the rest of the forecast, things don't look too bad. we'll have a front that is moving through by tuesday night. so we're looking at a repeat tomorrow night of what we're seeing tonight. and then by wednesday, things aren't too bad. we're looking at partly cloudy skies. most of the activity as far as showers and thunderstorms will be to the south of us. as we head into the forecast for the overnight hours, tonight we're looking at 72 degrees
