let's get right to meteorologist howard bernstein with your forecast first. howard? >>> good morning. right now growing into effect a heat advisory covering the washington and baltimore metros, especially away from the bay, down to fredricksburg, culpeper, up to frederick and leesburg, montgomery, prince george's county, fairfax. this is borderline for the weather service but it's early in the season. today we're looking at some temperatures which will make it into the lower 90s. that's a big storm blast that caused an early cancellation of the memorial day concert on the mall. they got some of it but had to pull the plug on it to get people safe. lots of sunshine. there's nothing that's developed just yet but temperatures with the bright sun really responding. all to 86 in baltimore. 85 southern maryland. fredricksburg 88. we're sitting at 84 degrees. when you factor in the humidity, that's when things get a little more difficult. a lot of people will be outside this afternoon whether at a parade or barbecue. we've got indexes already high. feels like 88 in washingt

howard bernstein with you. no problems this morning even through midday but it's going to be the late afternoon and evening hours where we're going to be concerned with the threat of strong to severe storms. here we are at 9:00. temperatures upper 60s and partly sunny skies and might be mostly cloudy for a little while. may see some storms far, far west of us here. noon isolated shower out west of winchester, we'll be partly to mostly sunny. into the middle of the afternoon, 2:00 notice some storms starting the fire here out to the shenandoah valley. out towards some of the higher elevations, they start to move east by 4:00 and could be toward culpeper and maybe getting close to manassas and hay market. and by dinner time. oh here comes some strong to severe thunderstorms scattered throughout the region. mike? >>> rgiii gets if early practice at redskins park. >> and bryce harper once again lifts the nationals to a victory. kristen berset has highlights in your morning sports. >> good morning everybody. you kno

right to meteorologist howard bernstein, he's got your forecast. howard? >> the weekend is not looking all that bad with you we have to get there -- but we have to get there first and the problem the severe weather threat we have today. the areas in yellow you see, they believe all these folks including much of our region has a threat for severe thunderstorms with damaging wind gusts or large hail possible in the strongest of those storms and you can see it includes us, the whole i-95 corridor. you get out west a little bit the threat isn't there but we've been watching this one cluster of storms, it's weakening. it's diminishing but it's right on top of us and it still has quite a punch coming through the metro and a few new storms fire up toward frederick right now. and that's headed toward oh, woodsboro, walkersville, maybe over to new market moving east/southeast. but the storms near washington now and by the way nothing is severe. no warnings, no watches. this is sort of maybe the first of what could be two or even three rounds in spots i think before

that means howard bernstein along. big boomers yesterday. big boomers today?> there will be a few, especially out west toward the mountains, i-81 and if you're headed to eastern pennsylvania you might return into that as well. >> this affects our barbecuing plan. >> i know. you better be watching radar. you can download our weather app and that's a great thing for your iphone or your android device. you can find that at wusa9.com. we are definitely going to see the heat one thing for sure. with that the national weather service has issued a heat advisory from noon till 9:00 p.m. for the entire washington metro region. over by the bay and the mountains won't be as hot, as humid. so the heat index values won't be as high. therefore not under the advisory but drinking plenty of nonalcoholic fluids and ac will help you out today. here's our memorial day planner. we're talking about temperatures this afternoon in the mid-80s by 1:00. so very warm now in the upper 60s and 70s. 90 by 5:00. some isolated thunderstorms. perhaps a better chance out toward i-81 and then

she's already very busy this morning and it's only 5:00 and howard bernstein, things are quieting down compared to yesterday. >> we are not rocking and rolling but there are some storms that pushed into eastern maryland. up north you might get a visit from a shower or storm the next couple of hours. we are cloudy. a little mist in areas, some fog in the mountains. temperatures are in the 50s to low 60s well south of town. we've got 64 by 9:00. 74 by noon. we'll start to see sun earlier today with temperatures with the sunshine getting into the low to mid-80s. there's a chance you'll see a storm later on. the storms this morning developed up north and pennsylvania. you can see them dropping into northeastern maryland. they're also hanging around toward pittsburgh and the pike, bedford. this is getting close to howard county north of i-70 so we'll be watching that over the next few hours. let's go to monika santami 5:00 a.m. time saver traffic. >> thank you so much, howard. it's a good news, bad news situation. the good news is that the accident that happened at about 3:30 this morning o

olga breese in for howard bernstein this morning. lots of sunshine but some clouds moving on later on this afternoon. temperatures should make it into the up ir80s, near -- upper 80s, near 90 degrees for high. rain alive by your drive time home. looks like a cold front moving through later on tonight. >>> in sports, the nationalses are in first place in the national league east despite being ravaged by injuries. >> first place is pretty cool. hopefully tonight things are going to start to turn around from the winning perspective. that's because michael morris is going to make his first rehab start. he will play in single a potomac nationals. he has not played a single game in the majors all season. if things go according to plan, he could be at nationals park as soon as this weekend. let's keep our fingers crossed for that. the nationals could have used his bat yesterday for sure. they're facing the miami marlins. they scored six runs. marlins beat the nationals. >>> lacrosse, the college championship for lacrosse is back home in the

howard bernstein, where have you been? been in the back doing weather stuff. >> i missed you. >> i'm here for you, mike. we've got rain waning quickly across montgomery county, northwest d.c. we'll likely see showers and storms this afternoon. a pretty picture there with some of the clouds breaking up east of the capital. i love this type of morning for those sorts of shots. our day planner mid-70s by noon. partly cloudy conditions. maybe a shower then but a better chance of showers and storms really this afternoon and this evening with highs in the upper 70s to around the 80- degree mark. big time showers once again overnight produced some heavy rains and another 1.2 inches for charlie in catlett and fauquier county. over five inches of rain the last two nights so it's no wonder with areas even more than that in prince william and some of the flooding reports we've had with the road closures, that we've got a flood warning for prince william county and manassas park till 10:00 this morning. visibility just a little bit of

. >> howard bernstein, what do we have? sunshine do you say? >> you've got it. sunshine and a little wind too. we don't have the clouds. we don't have the rain. we've got temperatures around 70 for a high. and we are looking up as we head toward the weekend. mother's day sunday. and any of your outdoor plans all looking good. here's a look at our day planner for you on this monday morning with temperatures going to be running into the mid-60s by noon. upper 60s at 5:00. a quick look outside. you see how nice it's looking there. good advice i can't. we have the -- good visibility. we have the rain pulling away from us. it will be raining a little bit this morning up if new england but they'll be clearing out. in the 40s in harrisonburg. we're still in the 50s. upper 50s here and the patuxent naval air station, 57 degrees down there as well. today sunshine, kind of breezy to windy. you'll have gusts 25, maybe 30. highs in the mid-60s north to around 70 here in washington. 5:28. the lovely monika santami is here to let you know about your morning commute. >>> thank

. >>> we start with howard bernstein in the forecast.nd, a soggy start to the workweek. >> looks like today and tomorrow. i put on twitter we had to evacuate because of the fire alarm because we had a water leak and somebody wrote "very monday." i thought that was quite fitting. we have rain moving into the area. some folks seeing rain for hours off to the west. we'll have showers the next couple of days. we need the rain. we're about five inches in the hole since the beginning of the year. you see a couple of raindrops on our camera looking outside. got temperatures right now in the mid-60s. 67 at noon. some light rain at reagan national with 5:00 temperature right around 70. so i think highs today 70, maybe 71. they're not going to move much. we're in the low to mid-60s most spots although upper 60s all the way up and down. we've been watching the moisture move from the south and west. quite heavy some of the rain showers in west virginia. locally you see the breaks here off to our east and into charms and prince george's county. look
