we are standing at 84. 84 elkton, 84 easton. guess what, the average high today is 84 degrees exactly. 76 in oakland and 78 ocean city. dc now coming in at 85 degrees. locally, low to mid 80s. once again, these are normal temperatures for this time of year. the humidity is in the moderate range. if it was higher you would be sweating throughout. we have a little line of broken showers and thunderstorms from wilmington south of philadelphia. it moved through west chester. they had penny sized hail for a few minutes. that line just on the maryland, delaware border into the maryland, pennsylvania border. one cell there just south of delta moving to the southeast. may just pass east of bel air. another one by lancaster. the winds are all over the place. tomorrow we see a change back to the north and northwest as a hard to diffuse up to the great lakes. ahead of it we may see some scattered storms, probably a better chance tomorrow than we saw today. south it's hot and humid. that's why we've had a lot of scattered storms. just some

calm winds across the airport and up toward elkton, but a light breeze around the rest of the state.of a southerly component around most of the area. that will help temperatures climb up here over the next few days. yesterday got to 83 degrees. today we call it 86. here's the low pressure system driving away. warm front leading the way. cold front is following. it's a combination of those two that will stir things up enough. cold front brings the lift and the spin in the atmosphere as it starts to turn things up. that will bring the thunderstorm potential for tonight, tomorrow, and tuesday. behind it things are to clear out. next chance of rain will be until next saturday. our sunset today at 8:35. small craft advisory with winds gusting up to about 20 knots. 86 degrees today, 67 tonight. chance of thunderstorms in spots through the evening. partly sunny and humid with thunderstorms through tomorrow. 80101 say, 84 and 86 on thursday and friday with overnight lows in the low 60s and upper 50s. >> still to come on eyewitness news sunday morning. it's line week in maryland. we have a sp

elkton has a 12-mile, northwest breeze. first of all, for florida, going to get a lot of rain. some areas could see 4, 5, 6, 7 inches of rain over the next four days. this tropical moisture moving to the north and northeast. some of it will stay offshore. but we think we'll get some of that moisture in our region. in addition, a cold front out to the west will be pressing to the east. these two combined looks like a pretty good shot here of rain. at least most of friday. may linger into saturday. all depends how fast that moves and how much of this moisture actually gets inland. we'll look for a pretty wet end to the week. and probably a start to the weekend. and then it will dry out somewhat, we think, on sunday. look for a pretty wet friday right now, based on our current models. tomorrow, beautiful, sunny day again. with high pressure in control. cool night, sunny afternoon. a little warmer. the front approaching from the west, yes. and our moisture from the south. for the time being, thursday, probably staying dry. but friday, all of that stuff comes together to give us rai

elkton at 76. locally, mid- to upper 70s. still low humidity. normal high today is 80.and it's just about where we got to. looks like tomorrow, we'll have a few more clouds, however. and a little more humid tomorrow night. maybe a scattered shower or thundershower in the area. southeast winds, currently bringing some of that moisture in off the delineatic ocean. that will continue to increase as a disturbance. it may become a tropical depression briefly. but it's heading across florida. got a lot of rain east of the center. the actual center is way out here in the gulf. kind of broken up. but could become briefly a tropical depression. it's going to bring a lot of rain to north and central florida. and southern georgia and the carolinas. because mainly what we think is going to head offshore. most of the heavy precip, eastern shore, may get an inch or two of rain. may get more. to the west of us, the front to the west. that will be approaching the western sections of the state, with heavy showers, particularly in the mountain areas. in between here. heaviest rain south

still warmer in d.c. 75 in elkton. and by the way, annapolis and kent island, at 71 degrees. right now, we have a bit of a west wind. tomorrow, the winds are going to start to shift more to the southeast. eventually, they'll start bringing in moisture. dew point will start coming up. and we started see something clouds here by thursday afternoon. now, by thursday night, it's possibility we could see a shower. best chance this week will come, with this front coming from the west. it's already got shower and thunderstorm activity, with warm air ahead of it. and this possible tropical system we showed you a minute ago. heavy rain for sure in florida, moving across the florida peninsula. maybe offshore, maybe inland. whatever is going to happen, it's going to bring moisture in our general direction. some of it may be shunted to the east. some of it may be held across the ohio valley, as we showed you that graphic. we may be in the ripoff zone, but i would prepare for a decent amount of rain here possibly on friday, with both of those things kind of coming together over the genera
