it's moderate humidity there. it's high humidity in southern maryland and dew point at pax river 76. great falls, dew point 70 there with hardly any wind. temperatures on the eastern shore mid 70s. great day at the beaches. out in the mountains, low humidity there. in the last six hours, watching high clouds coming in from the west from a cluster of thunder showers drifting down to the south. that's moving into kentucky. you can see how it developed this morning. really developed into quite a cluster of thunderstorms. now this is heading to the south. these thunderstorms stretch all the way back onto illinois. could have flight delays around indianapolis as well as st. louis later on today. ahead of this front we've got a lot of humidity building. this front will be drifting through us and plowing through the region tomorrow. as it goes forward the next 36 hours, you see the colors where we could get showers and thunder showers as that front does come through. likely shower and thunder shower activity. behind that

humidity is at 93%. the wind out of the south is bringing in that humidity. it is going to be sticky today, tomorrow, and even as we get into the middle of the workweek. it is definitely going to feeg feel very august-like outside. let's look over at the radar picture. we can see a few rain showers and thunderstorms to the north of us. we could still see a rowing shower push its way through -- roague shower push through the eastern shore. what it is doing, it is pushing through the atmosphere and adding to the humidity. unfortunately, we are dealing with both the heat and humidity. it is all coming from the southwest. right now 76 in annapolis. 76. 73 in hagerstown. it will be a decent day down at the beach. a little bit on the hot side. overall it should be pretty good. we saw 83 degrees for our high yesterday, but today we're expecting 95 as our high. for monday, 97, and 95 for our tuesday. when you factor in the hude midity -- humidity, it is going to feel like 90. here's a look at those heat independent sees. -- indices. it will feel a little better down

hazy, hot and humid. you can see outside, it's quite just hazy out there because we have all of the low-level moisture coming in from the south. right now, 79 degrees in the distri district. that's a warm start to the day. a good launching pad. and the big picture looks like this. 83, st. louis. and basically, west of the rockies. that's where we have the cooler air. and the pattern is changing east of the rockies. and then you factor in the humidity, andt will feel like the triple digits from many locations. you can see a heat advisory in chicago, and down towards cleveland. a heat warning for tomorrow for the city of philadelphia. on satellite and radar, here is what is going on. the pattern has changed. over the last couple weeks, this has been a pattern. a trough out east. it has been cooler than average. the jet stream is switching. it's a see-saw. and this is allowing the really warm weather to push into the area. this will last for two to three days and then we will cool things down again. closer t

a lot of heat and humidity pumping in. we have relief, but it is going to be out toward the great lakes. it will stall out there on monday. we will continue to bake throughout most of the day on monday and tuesday before this front finally starts to arrive by tuesday evening bringing with it scattered thunderstorms and a little relief from the heat. so for today, partly cloudy. 91 and 96 degrees. whenever we talk about this much heat and humidity, we have to talk about afternoon thundershowers. i wouldn't change plans because of that, though. they will be very, very scattered and isolated. 97 for monday. it will feel close to 100 in some locations. the break occurs late tuesday night. wednesday a decent day, partly cloudy, 89 degrees. thursday, friday, and saturday temperatures holding steady in the mid 80's with a chance of thunderstorms. >> that's what i like about jim. he's like a glass-half-full kind of guy. >> yeah. >> coming up, the good news on the housing market. >> consumers not spending like they used to. the sec

that's an indication of humidity in the area. near 70 it's swellering humidity.it's rather humid farther to the south and east. the dew point is a comfortable 64. the temperature is now at 79 around the neighborhood network. eastern shore now mid-80s. it's steamy there and steamy at the beaches all the way down to the outer banks. the temperatures in the mid-80s. baja to the mountains it's only near 70 this morning. we see our showers out of the ohio valley ahead of a cold front in the afternoon and trigger passing thunderstorms. they don't anticipate any strong storms, perhaps some brief passing heavy downpours with thunder and lightning. before that, highs near 90. might have a rain delay for the nationals and marlins tonight at nationals park. first pitch 7:0. by then should be in the low 80s but could have a passing thundershower through the rest of the evening. maybe a shower lingering tomorrow morning, too. tomorrow afternoon partly cloudy. could have a passing shower and thundershower south and east of washington tomorrow in the afternoon. then partly clou

still not too humid on saturday. perhaps by saturday night is when the humidity will really begin to move in. it will be hotter tomorrow up around 90. into the mid and perhaps upper 90s on sunday and monday with hazy sunshine and high humidity. wednesday and thursday, maybe storms around. we'll see you a monday. have a great weekend. >>> if you you are out at the bar this weekend, take a good look around because the way the person next to you holding their drink could say a lot about them. a british psychologist studied 500 drinkers and divided them into different personality types. first, there's the peacock. these people lean if while pushing their glass away. it symbolizes someone who is confident and arrogant. then there's the flirt, someone who holds their glass provocatively and wants attention. the fun lover holds his drink loosely in front of him and enjoy as good time, but beware of the ice queen she holding her drink firmly with one arm across the body and does not want to be bothered. that's new 4/midday.

really humid out there.ith the heat and humidity it feels like 100 degrees right now here in the district. tomorrow, it could reach up to about 105. because of this, the weather service has issued a heat advisory for tomorrow from noon until 10:00. that is for a good part of the region. and you can see up and down the east coast, we'll see more of the same with the heat advisory stretching from the carolinas all the way up towards, looks like northern new jersey. all right. again, 95 locally. feels like 100. that's the story all the way back towards the mississippi river. it's very hot. up and down the east coast. we basically have a big ridge of high pressure in the upper levels of the atmosphere. you can see how the moisture is pushing up and over that area of higher pressure. there's that little disturbance right there. as this makes its way southward. it could affect us and bring us some active weather. especially north and east of the belt line. so here's future cast. basically high pressure will be the

feels just a little bit warmer because ever the humidity factored in -- of the humidity factored in. not talking a major heat index because the clouds are kind of locking us into a bit of a cooler zone blocking out some of the sun. a northeast wind when it's been blowing has been bringing in just a bit of a cool component. there's less humid air off to our northwest. that's trying to move on in here. as a result, the moisture of air is going to present the chance of thundershowers. it's really not going to be able to move on through here. the problem is high pressure well off the east coast. high pressure trying to build in. it's not allowing this front to move on by. the result is that this front will stall. it's going to stall just off to our east and it's going to be close enough that it will allow a few ripples to move up and create just a few chances of showers in the afternoon. the less humid air though eventually does move in here by the weekend. temperatures will drop. we stay very close to our average of about 86 degrees for this time of year. the front stays to our south. t
