humidity is my main point. 78% at this hour of morning. we'll see humid conditions this afternoon. rise for us as we head to the mid-80s. it will be hot, humid and hazy out there. so be prepared. so for today then, our high will be about 58 degrees. you got a southwesterly wind flow 10 to 15 miles per hour. and then for tonight, we are talking partly cloudy skies. still a little bit breezy. southwesterly winds from 10 to 15. our overnight low will be about 63 degrees. here is a lock at the five-day forecast for you. we cool down tomorrow because that cold front is going to move through. we get a little shot of cooler air. so we go about 10 degrees cooler as we head to about 76 degrees on tuesday. an upper level disturbance to bring us some showers by the time we hit hump day on wednesday at 70 degrees. 72 on thursday with sunshine once again but a few clouds click in on friday at 76. today is the day to get out and enjoy t get the sunglasses out. don't forget water. julie, i know you want to be lying out on the deck somewhere. >> is that the advantage of being off work at 9:00 in t

hot and humid, the two key words today. >> there we go, it is all done. don't want to stay inside and do any taxes. hopefully you got them done. you want to get outside and enjoy this weather if you like heat and sunshine. we are beginning with satellite- radar composite and just a few high clouds out there this morning. not a whole lot to contend with. we have a ridge of high pressure off the coast. that will be our key to clearing out the clouds during the course of the day and setting us up for no shortage of sunshine as we head flu into the afternoon hours. you will see things heating up. yesterday was one of those days, 83 degrees at reagan national airport. 86 at bwi thurgood marshall. we are even going to have the same kind of treat for this afternoon. it is currently 67 degrees at reagan national airport. 69 at fredericksburg. 65 for martinsburg. we have the double sixes kicking in at hagerstown. let's take a look at radar. here is the cold front that still has to move its way to the east but ahead of it, still a line of some pretty intense storms

compliments of a nice ridge of high pressure, 53 degrees officially regan national airport, 84% humidity, that is an indication where we are headed unbelievable expect to see it become a very sticky day as well right now, 63 dulles, same bwi marshall, and today we are talking no shortage of sunshine as i said those clouds will give way to bright skies the winds will pick up from the southwest, breezy side, but overall not too bad warm winds will boost our temperature headed for a daytime high of 85 today by the 5:00 p.m. hour about 83 by midday about 80 degrees. i wouldn't be surprise first- degree some of our neighbors -- surprised if some of our neighbors south of dc see their temperatures head to the upper 80s not a bad day i will look at your 5 day forecast with you later on in the meantime, we want to keep an eye on the traffic. >> we have a couple problems to report out here on the roads this morning if you are travelling up in german town area, heads up, great seneca highway, middle brook, authorities tell me they are on the scene of a crash. 270 itself, on the brakes from 109 to

we did have some rain overnight but 60 at bwi, a beautiful shot and 26% on the relative humidity. we have finally gotten to that part of the year where our average high is 60 or higher. annapolis, blue skies of course. ellicott city, blue skies. the trees are shaking in the wind. chesapeake beach. you can see the whitecaps for a good chunk of the afternoon. as the winds let up we lose the whitecapping effect but a blue sky type of day. maryland's most powerful radar scanning clear that should continue to be the case through perhaps wednesday morning when we could see a round of showers early wednesday and then things drying out again for the latter part of the week. frost and freeze concerns for the northern half of maryland. this is going to include kent and car row line county -- caroline county. all points north of baltimore and as you go further west, these bright shaded county, that's a deep freeze, meaning several hours below freezing. bring in the pets, plants and north of baltimore. we're warm and mild and just a light northwesterly wind for the next few hours. we have a f

we have just enough humidity. passing fog by daybreak, early morning driver watch out for this 74 tomorrow. that's a nice warm up and spots like downtown baltimore, maybe upper 70s. 55 with clouds, on, the increase. here is the seven kay forecast, you can see the outlook, looking pretty good, temperatures will be -- only maybe 60 on sunday jamie? that will be quite a cool off. we will keep the chance for on and off rain around through early monday. i know for all the women and guys going down, just realize, you know it could be a little damp and cool. no lightning on sun. that's good. >> even when it rains in ocean city. walking fast. >> body heat. >> that's outstanding. >> listen. was he or wasn't he? that's the question going around. was he here or not? he was trying tout with the ravens to be their third string quarterback but they signed curtis i hear. there was no bowler siting -- and the ravens are quiet on the subject. instead, some stepped up for some question and answer we asked them about the newly relea

wind, low humidity adding up to a red flag warning. more than three inches beyond our typical rain total for the year so really over half of what we normally have. that, plus the wind which is from 25, gusting to 30. so that kind of wind, this kind of low humidity it all adds up to some very, very enhanced fire conditions, so be very careful with any of those outdoor sources of ignition. all right. to the north there is rain over pennsylvania but not expecting that to creep further south. we should remain dry in maryland, virginia and delaware. to the west very little new weather on the map. a brief disturbance riding up the front combined with that flow out of the north. this will mean more cloud cover and potentially a few hit or mills showers. any rain would be welcome, especially through the middle part of the week. any rain that does come down and we saw this on the radar, any rain that falls will encounter dry air at the surface. sometimes they evaporate before we hit the ground, what we call verga. that could be the scenario tom

i hate to say hot and humid only because you start thinking of mid-summer humidity, oppressive levelson't be that bad. but by april standards, it's going to be hot and humid for sure. the showers clear out by late tuesday night. and finally cooler weather heading our way to the second half of next week. tomorrow and the front half of the week, toasty. >> it's a jolt to see hot. >> you've got the call it something. >> thank you, chuck. >> the federal government may actually make money on all the bailouts used to save banks and others during the great recession. in a best case scenario over the next ten years, bailouts could produce as much as $163 billion in profits. it would come in the form of repayment, stock sales, and interest paid by banks, insurance firms, and auto companies. much of that may be used to prop up the still struggling fannie mae and freddie mac. >>> and news of the profits didn't keep wall street from posting their worst week of the year. the dow lost nearly 137 points yesterday to close out the week down 1.6%. the s&p fell 2% on the week. investors are worried abo

the humidity now down to 26%. the humidity now down to 26%. >> good afternoon. if you take a peek outside the window, it looks like a beautiful day. the wind really knows out to ruin that. we have that strong winds pushing across the area and also increase in the fire danger. not much going on on the radar and satellite picture. clouds of of the day but other than that clear right now and baltimore and stretching into western maryland until you get to garrett county, where we first had the clout pushing from the west. there had been a couple of sprinkles. not much going on right now over garrett county but you can continue to see light showers over the next couple of hours. this is all associated with a low pressure system put -- pushing east, at least increasing some of the rain chances through the next couple of hours and into tonight. in fact, a large upper level system pushing into the east and said in place the next couple of days and that is why on and off we have at least a slight chance of showers all the way into the early week. but the storm system adv

minus the summer levels of humidity. humid outside early this morning but has turned into a very nice afternoon. albeit on the toasty warm side. plenty of sunshine and a very strong south to southwesterly breeze. winds out of the south right now. 20, gusting to 26 miles per hour. current temperature at national airport, hottest day of the year so far. 88 degrees already. and that's back-to-back 80-degree days in a row. we made 83 yesterday. we're not the only ones enjoying the warmth. look at this. winchester, virginia, congrats. 90 degrees out there. i talked about it all weekend. i said, somebody somewhere in virginia might touch 90 degrees today. winchester, you're the big winner. petersburg, west virginia up in the mountains, 92. cumberland, maryland 91. 89 degrees in waldorf and la plata. overnight tonight with a mostly clear sky. temperatures will fall back but only into the upper 50s and low 60s. not really a cold start in the morning at all. storm 4 radar has nothing on it around here just yet but there are showe

tomorrow the humidity comes up and the temperature will come up with the warm front. that's going to mean a muggier day and the chance for showers. wepts from the west tonight will be gust. tomorrow close to 70 by 4:00 but with that warmer air comes the chance for showers. more on that and a look to your weekend straight ahead. >>> he told police they beat him. he had blood running from his head to prove it. today when the teenager got a chance to testify against them, he refused. abc2 news jeff hager with the details tonight. >> reporter: their roles in a jewish community watch program landed them in court. the role eli and avi werdesheim played on the assault of an african-american team will not be spelled out by the victim. that teen who we're in the identifying because he's a moan for became des spond didn't and refused to answer. >> i can't hear what the witness said, so how am i supposed to know -- how are we supposed to know how is he responding to it. >> we can't do our job unless we have the ability to hear what the witness says so we can accurately cross-exa

humidity very, very high, including lower eastern shore. cambridge at 94% humidity. when you see that level of humidity and no wind you look for reduced visibility. sometimes that low cloud deck, that strait thus deck can lower. as this gets closer to ground level, 9 in york. not widespread dense fog for the evening commute. especially the hilly areas, you could see spots with reduced visibility. keep that in mind. our main wave of rain passing through. some showers coming through. you could see one disturbance in central maryland now pushing off shore. this could spark a few showers into the overnight. the atmosphere is relatively sthaibl for the moment. we are cloudy and there will be plenty of loment to fuel a few rain showers, not looking for a lot of new rain tonight. here's our whrergt maker slowly pushing out to the west and east. cooler drier weather tomorrow. we're talking 60, 62 degrees. much of the day in the 50s. a nice looking day visually. here's that last round of showers through 10:00. if we see any rain it will be by 10:00, 11:00. then dry and clear.

humidity very high, hoping to fuel the fog and reduced vis.he pattern will be a clearer and drier one. you can see why. our mane weather maker bringing more rain to have va than to maryland. you can see the back edge of this storm cell moving out. it's spark showers to the west. we cro get another pleat dousing and further west we have clear dry weather already breaking out across the upper midwest. this will impact us tomorrow, clear sunny conditions for your friday before we get another weather maker on saturday but that will be quickly and clear us out. this particular storm system is about to be out of here by 10:00, 11:00. here's the trend, hit or miss showers. as we go into the overnight the front clears the area drops the humidity, brings back the sun. great friday evening for your plans. saturday bringing in the chance for showers saturday evening. so saturday night watch for rain, but we think this will be just about completely gone, so sunday looking up. friday, sunday, two best days. overnight 45. tomorrow your two-degree guarantee.

that is humid.t feels muggy. take a look at baltimore, sunshine on tap all day long. that allowed temperatures to rocket back into the upper 80s as they were also there on sunday afternoon but the humidity is stronger today. blue skies over the state capital, blue skies over towson. nothing other than high thin clouds but not enough to block out that intense april sunshine. maryland's most powerful radar continued to scan all clear. that's good. temperatures running mid to upper 80s to near 90 to the west. again, the winds from the south steady 1 -- 5, 10, 15, bringing in warmer air. here's the dew point numbers. we're at 61 for a dew point in cambridge. as you go above 55 you begin to feel it. as you go to 60 it becomes more oppressive, just enough to feel it. to the west we have showers flaring up or have been flaring. they've been skied out -- squeezed out. a big shift in the pattern could mean some real rain around here by the end of the weekend into early next week. in the meantime looks like m

humidity is extremely low and winds continue to funnel out of the north and west. we copped out at 74 degrees and the wind never felt quite that warm. 62 is the average and no precipitation than has continued to be our theme around here. dry and sunny weather. that was the case and a lot of people were enjoying a sunny easter. though a few clouds did roll around and you can see our camera and it's one more camera for you. people were out on the beach and it was breezy. maryland's most powerful radar is all clear. i have been saying that and it should be a fairly wet time of year around here. temperatures were hovering and they will cool off tonight but what we are really concerned about is this, not just for all of maryland but for eastern pennsylvania, all of new jersey delaware, this is a widespread area and so far this spring we need a pattern shift to change things. it is all a recipe for any outdoor burning to turn disasterrous very quickly and even flicking a cigarette butt, that could cause a fire too. humidity will stay bone dry and our chance for rain will

this should move north and allow humid conditions to overspread the area.ou need dry air to get a deep freeze. once we get that slight increase in humidity tomorrow evening, this will be a done deal. take a look at the trend here. it is clear after a frosty start a rapid warmup. then from tuesday night into wednesday chances for showers go up. this is 10 a.m. so we could get a brief chance of showers, but it looks like this will be one of those you blink and you miss it. temperatures, well, running in the 60s and 70s. frost overnight. none of that warm stuff. 35 in the city but north and west we look for frost, even a deeper freeze toward carroll county. tomorrow 67 for your election day tuesday. hope you're headed to the polls after a frosty start. and down to 45 with clouds on the increase. overall, no trouble with your boating weather. all eyes on our opening day friday. 63 degrees with a lot of sunshine around. and so it looks like right now we're set for a good day. we'll try to warm it up more into the mid-60s on friday but that's how things shape up

humidity 41%. winds light from the southeast at seven. it was sun more the most part. no rain, you know conditions really not a bad day. most spot was a quarter inch much of rain. some spots less. we could use rain over here. beautiful shot over the bay bridge marina and at the high school you can see at times the fair weather clouds popping up. then the skies clearing off late in the day. we will get set for a sunny finish to this thursday afternoon. maryland's most powerful radar is clear. off shore, off of 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 y
