easton 88. dover 88. hagerstown 82 and 85 in york, pennsylvania. charlotsville at 87 degrees. temperatures right now, close to 70 in baltimore. we are at 72 or 70 rather in easton and 72 in the patuxent river. 65 in dulles and 61 now into york. so the dew point is what we will talk about today. that's what's going to make it feel so fasty outside. once you get the dew points in the -- so nasty outside. once you get the dew points in the upper 60s, you are feeling it. 70s is going to be feelingoppressive and you can see that in dover around 71. and by the time we go through today and tomorrow week might see some of the dew points in the 70s. satellite and radar not picking up on a whole lot. we are dealing with mainly clear skies. and mainly clear skies going to translate into lots of sunshine as we go through the rest of the afternoon. now, high pressure is still in control of our weather. and that's basically what's pumping in all the heat and the humidity as we go through today. and also tomorrow and by friday, we will get a little bit of relief but temperatures are going to

close to 70 in baltimore. 70 in easton. and patuxent river at around 72 degrees. 67 in charlottesville. now the moisture big story because if we didn't have the moisture out there or the humidity out there, then we wouldn't be feeling so bad. so these moisttures or dew points close to 70. that means that air is really saltry and we are going to be feeling it as we go throughout the day today and also tomorrow. the satellite and radar is not picking up on a lot. we are dealing with mainly clear skies translating into sunshine going through the remainder of the day. and then we will have a little bit of change in the forecast. but in the meantime, high pressure pumping in that heat and also that humidity. future radar not picking up an whole lot but it will pick up and the line of thunderstorms going into the afternoon on tomorrow and lingering into the evening and also maybe even into friday. so for today, the temperature coming in right around 96 degrees. we have the hazy sunshine out there. we have a heat advisory and we h

winds have been light and our temperatures comfortable. 82 in baltimore. 81 in easton. creeping up in southern maryland, most of us seeing a comfortable humidity level. tomorrow maybe more sunshine early in the day. satellite radar picture showing some active weather, mainly to the west out -- towards west virginia. then as we look up into the new england states, a couple showers towards new hampshire, could it hug the coast and bring a couple showers? possible. i don't think it is likely. we have the hot ridge building across the east. that's going to make a move over m maryland. look for noticeably hotter weather towards midweek. our future cast and terms of rain chances slim into the day on monday. a hit or miss shower possible. going into tuesday, a sunnier scenario but heat surges in tuesday into wednesday. overnight, down to 62, partly cloudy, a slight chance of a shower and a slim chance tomorrow. we'll call it mostly sunny. a passing shower at times, cannot be ruled out. seven-day forecast, looking ahead, what do we see? heat. one word. wednesday into thursday,

even though we were above average, easton around 82.er 84 in hagerstown and winchester and york, pennsylvania around 83. lows this morning, 62 in baltimore. so a little above average. 61 in winchester and oak lan at 59. -- oak lan at 59 and 56 -- oakland at 59 and 56 for york. today a. different day because we have an air quality alert. it's a code orange and the air is unhealthy for sensitive groups. you can see the areas in the orange. the eastern shore looks pretty good except foresees i will county under the code -- except for cecil county under the code orange air alert. 60 at the inner harbor. once you get into the 60s, you can feel the humidity a little bit. still feeling comfortable back into york and also in frederick and hagerstown, winchester more of the same and culpepper. the dew points will go up as the humidity will increase going throughout the day. especially tomorrow and the day after that. satellite and radar picking up on what's going on. things looking good. lots of sunshine moving in. but we are going to watch for

lastly from easton dujali, what steps have been taken, if any, to address the visible deferred maintenance for our parks? those are three questions. is there anyone that would like to respond? >> i would be happy to talk about the deferred maintenance needs in our park. our park has over a billion dollars of deferred maintenance needs. we're very happy for voter support in 2000 and 2008 for two park bond measures where you made a dent in our needs and started to see beautiful buildings and pools. we have another bond hopefully slated for 2012. we also used open space funds and money set aside each yore for deferred maintenance projects. with that said this gos to a fundamental resource challenge in our parks. but i think we're making the most of the opportunities we have and i would ask folks for your support of the next bond measure in 2012. >> thank you. ed harrington, general manager from the public utility commission. >> thank you, supervisor. this is a question why don't we turn off lights at nighttime, more energy efficient in our buildings? we are spending money every single year in
