today and tomorrow will be a set back with the warming day, 61 now at the airport. 57 easton, 49 ocean city. coolest spot on the map today and overall the pattern show a north breeze that will continue to drop the humidity and cool it off rapidly. the freeze warning for northern harry land. cecil, west toward garret. that's where we have very cold conditions, humidity dry, right around the 20% range. here it is for you. most active weather has remained bottled up to the soup. cold front over southern virginia and most of the weather has been no closer than really the north carolina border. down toward the raleigh, durham area. you can seat center of the circulation of the main storm that once upon a time was churning, huge storms in to texas now. more garden variety thunderstorms, second area of low pressure over tennessee area moving in to western north carolina, both areas drifting south of maryland but wrapping in or pulling in cooler air out of the north. out of canada. it'll be much chillier tonight and tomorrow night. we will have bright sun for the game. really not bad by opening day

near 70 now in baltimore, easton, ocean city, cooler 54. out of the south and east. the east breeze will drop the temperatures at times, same in baltimore and annapolis, get the bay breeze with the bay water surface temperature -- any breeze off the water will be a cool one. humidity comfortable. dryer to the west. way off shore of ocean city. cloud cover at the beaches but most of the area -- clear weather in to the day tomorrow. courtesy of high pressure and again mild air tonight. warmer air. we will try to get in tomorrow but a southeast wind flow will probably hold it in the mid- 70s. you can see to the west warmer air that will start to arrive in to the day tomorrow. beyond tomorrow things will change again. a lot of sun. maybe coastal showers, here is the frontal boundary. we could see rain as early as saturday morning and that could persist through the day on and off. maybe a thunderstorm saturday afternoon. this frontal boundary will push through and cool us down for fund still enough moisture we think on and off showers a good bet. i don't think this will b

cool air around ocean city, where the winds have been coming in off the ocean. 68 in bwi marshall. and 67 in easton. and 70 down in d.c. we expect another surge of warm air tomorrow, which is not going to help, with our drought conditions, because that's only going to help evaporate what little moisture we do have in the ground. but that warm air is going to take us into the low to mid-70s for tomorrow. and we'll probably get much- needed rain. unfortunately, it's in time for weekend activities. bob will have your complete updated forecast comingum. >> thank you, tim and bob. the ravens are back on the practice field. the first round of voluntary workouts this off season. sports director mark viviano has more on the limited practices taking place this week. >> well, vic, they are noteworthy. remember a year ago, there were no spring workouts. the rest of the league is open for off season business. and the ravens have plenty to do for the season lady. >>> these practices are not mandatory. and many veteran players do not take part. but quarterback joe flacco was a daily participant. all gearing up f

and ocean city, still warm. at 80 degrees down there. it's like a summer afternoon. 75, easton. patuxent, 66. north and west. and that will be moving in our direction. low to mid-70s. very pleasant temperatures. but once again, it's very dry, with a breeze no rain locally. at least we haven't seen anything locally. but to the west, we'll see a couple of sprinkles. once again, high-fire danger across the region. please be very careful. winds not as strong as they will be tomorrow. breezy. 14 to 15. down to 9 miles opinion an hour. now, there is a system to the south. might just bring us a little bit of rain we hope tomorrow afternoon, tomorrow night, probably. as this front is going to stall out that gave us the cooler air today. there is moisture developing. and running along that front in our region. there is really nothing with it. but we have a chance of getting some of that precip in the area tomorrow afternoon, later and tomorrow evening. before it clears out on thursday. and another chance of some rain. maybe a good chance, i think by the weekend. you see the models showing a little bit

easton. and 63 in columbia. pretty calm across the state. we don't have much by way of any breeze out there. the little we have is coming down in the eastern shore from northeast maryland to ocean city. bit of a northeast wind. around, we'll say 5 to 10 miles per hour in the area, but the rest of the state is calm right now. the rain from yesterday has since moved off the area or off the coast now. the bulk of the rain that remains around the carolinas. what we're watching now is two portions of a system that's going to move in here by saturday afternoon into sunday. most of it coming in from the west and what we're going to see is clouds increasing by monday into saturday. most move in by saturday afternoon, and start to see the tip moving in to the western portion of the state. it's going to take a while to get out of here. saturday night, we could have some thunderstorms or even rain continuing through sunday and then to tuesday before it gets through the area. it's going to happen again, mostly in the day on saturday and through early sunday afternoon. our sunset today. mainly clear tonight, 48 degrees. airport tomorrow, going back up to 70 degrees. we'll call it 74. warm sunshi

ocean city still a few showers, nothing overland though. temperature wise now, 70, the warm spot in baltimore. but on the eastern shore 68 easton, 65 dover and hagerstown at 68. what little wind we have from the south-southeast could cool it off along the water. not a big factor for news humidity. just moderate really comfortable stuff. the pattern is this. last of that disturbance that brought us showers off shore. we are left with the clear sky overnight. clear sky and extra soil moisture means the potential for fog overnight and into daybreak. back to that if you are early morning driver. active weather over the great lakes, some over the coastal carolina's, high pressure over the midatlantic to keep us high and dry. as we go into the later part of the day saturday and into sunday a new weather maker will push in. warm to the south and east. this will arrive in maryland through the day tomorrow. up in to the 70's. more rain, it's not there tomorrow. scattered showers, a developing frontal boundary to the west that. will start to make its way in on saturday during the day. even down into morning we could get coastal showers and into the af
