let's send it over to justin berk. >> my parents tell me about the 50s. they say it was -- good music. 5:30 on the clock. taking a look outside now, harbor cam looking westbound. we have a little of the predawn light just backlit here. the buildings. starting to pop out here with the backdrop. clouds to the west and south. let's check out the easterly view from catonsville, 65 degrees, a light wind from the north that will turn to the northeast. that will help to pile in more clouds. that will help to lock down our temperatures. 65 in catonsville, that's an ano, anomaly because most of us outside the beltway in the 50s. including the airport. we increase the clouds this afternoon. that comes with a breeze. our two-degree guarantee of only 78 but pleasant today. >>> 5:31. let's check the roads with kim. >> we have a couple of incidents working the beltway now. outer loop past wilkens avenue that earlier crash still has the two right lanes blocked. you will see police activity out there. traffic does slow from about frederick road. earlier crash on the inne

let's go to justin berk. was that recordbreaking or what? was kind of cold. >> it's pretty cold. it's really interesting. 10 years ago today we set the record high temperature of 101 degrees. yesterday's record 102 set back in 1999. i say that because the low temperature that day was the same as yesterday's afternoon temperature. just for a complete slip, reversal of fortune. 58 degrees, not a record but we're approaching record territory. if we slip another notch or two on the thermometer we'll be mighty close. 63 easton. 67 pax river. there's some typical summer temperatures in through southern maryland but we're on the fringe of this canadian air mass that continues to dominate us. you can see the clouds on the lower eastern shore. we're clear and that allowed our temperatures to drop. even patchy fog developing this morning. 55 to 60 on the thermometer. as we head through this afternoon with lots of sunshine, low humidity, we should warm it back up to near normal with a high of 85. that's our two-degree guarantee. more on the upcoming we

>>> now here with the weather is justin, berk? >> that was broken, too. glad you pulled that out of the memory bank. talking about cover, you may want to crawl back under the covers. comfortable morning. if you had the windows open and nice break off the air conditioning check this out. at 5:40 in the morning, latest number, 63, at bwi marshall. nice, pleasant, comfortable. low 70s in southern maryland but we continue to point out, york pennsylvania at 49 degrees! wow. kim's jaw is on the floor right now. no doubt that it's a chilly start. we continue with this cool canadian flow. not quite record lows this morning. mid-50s to mid-60s around the area. it's warmer by the bay. 86 this afternoon, mostly sunny to partly cloudy, but tonight we could set a brand new record low. we'll talk about that coming up. >>> 5:40. pick that jaw off the floor. >> i'll do my best thank you. we have a really quiet start to your tuesday commute. not a lot going on, on the beltway as we check the west side between liberty road and route 70, things running smoothly. the closure

let's get to the weather now with justin berk. good morning. >> good morning. we start off once again pleasant conditions. in fact, a little warmer than it was yesterday but nice and comfortable and generally clear. check out our view now from umbc in catonsville. we had clouds overnight but they just got away. 67 degrees now on that southwest corner of the beltway. let's check it around the region. head to ellicott city, in the old valley section, 59 degrees. same story towson on the top side of the beltway, that location at cromwell valley elementary school is milder. 64 eldersburg. by the water it's currently 70 edgemere. 72 rock hall. a wide range but average of 65 to 70. mostly sunny start to the day. we'll build in clouds and a small chance of showers or thunderstorm with our two-degree guarantee back up to 87. that is near normal and it will actually get cooler for the rest of the week. more on that coming up. >>> 5:31. here's kim with a check of the roads. >> thank you. as we check the jfx southbound, things running smoothly between northern parkway and

now to justin berk with the weather. >> what is the deal with the overnight thunderstorms?ke you to annapolis, a storm rolled through an hour and a half ago blowing across the bay and falling apart. there's more rain from virginia. look at that mess. in manassas, it's coming from western dc, heading to rockville, looks like howard county, fredrick county, carroll and west side of the beltway could get hit with this over the course of the next hour. watching out for morning rain, maybe thunder. temperatures only make it to 82 with more storms this afternoon. >>> 4:59. first peek of the roads with kim. >> not a lot to see now but things are clearing up as you make your way northbound, 895 harbor tunnel, they were doing construction, two-way traffic was getting by on the southbound side, that project has since been reopened. same with the bay bridge. left lane closed on the westbound span. that's recently reopened as well. not a lot to tell you about on the beltway at this time. traffic is light and smooth on the outer loop at liberty road towards route 70. back to you. >>> go

we're going to get to the news in a second but first, justin berk for a quick peek at the weather. >>peek here. we're starting with the low 70s in most spots. last night, big storms rolled through. it took all day, now we had storms roll through anne arundel county and eastern shore hitting severe limits in the afternoon. then we had to wait for the evening for most of us to get wet. that's what happened on the west side 11:00 last night with a thunderstorm rolling through howard and carroll and northern baltimore county. that blowing through the area left us with clearing skies though it doesn't look like it on the satellite imagery. most of us will clear out, mostly sunny start, 70. two-degree guaranteed high of 89. with some scattered showers and storms popping up yet again during the afternoon. >>> 4:59. let's check the roads now with kim brown. >> good morning. i'm getting word there's a tree down southbound york road right afr old york road. that has york road closed there so be aware of that. also, overnight construction around the beltway, exit ramps closed 695 at security bou

let's get you started with weather with justin berk. >> good morning. we're just before 5:00 on this tuesday morning. we are looking outside as relatively quiet conditions. it's a bright moonlet night. full moon in play. 59 degrees, mostly clear in towson. that's one of the cool spots. 64 eldersburg. 70 edgemere. 73 rock hall. so a wide range of conditions across the area. 71 officially at the inner harbor in baltimore. most of us spending the day in the 60s. a little bit of patchy fog but we can pretty much eliminate that as the main player. though a cold front will approach this afternoon, there will be a scattered shower or thunderstorm. high of 87. then we will cool down for the rest of the week. we'll talk about that coming up in a bit. >>> 4:59. let's get a first check of the roads. here's kim. >> thank you. traffic light at this hour. some overnight construction projects should be wrapping up in the next hour. eastbound bay bridge right lane closed for construction. the inner loop at 97, the two left lanes closed at this hour for construction but

justin berk. >> you you didn't let him finish -- it's book on tape. there gotcha. >> in spanish. >> with pictures. >> yes. >> lots of pictures. waiting for that, too. >>> outside, we have stevenson university hooked up, 56 degrees, an indication that once you're just outside the beltway, especially in the valley locations it's chilled back. so we're down to 56 degrees. that is an important mark, that would put us at record territory at least at the airport, just a few miles away. check out the beach, it's 67 now in ocean city. want to compare that with harford county, 52, compared to 58 fallston and 62 havre de grace. widespread this morning. we'll get to the two-degree guarantee of 87. >>> let's see what's happening on the roads with kim. >> traffic smooth on 83 southbound from pennsylvania through to about the beltway. however, we have a couple of incidents in the city to let you know about, still working that crash east fairmount avenue at north linwood. also 95 northbound approaching whitemarsh boulevard, that disabled vehicle remains on scene. we

>>> here's justin berk with the weather. >> good morning. i want to take you back to a little time lapse of yesterday. as we take this full screen and show you how we started cloudy and occasionally it looked threatening across the inner harbor, yesterday was a day that actually turned out dry for most of us. a lot of places i went people were saying where's the rain we keep hearing about? this is an environment that doesn't promise rain, doesn't guarantee rain but it can produce some spotty showers in the afternoon. if you don't happen to have one at your location, whether you work outside or not, it doesn't mean that you are going to not have it some place else. 65 degrees this morning at roland park. looking at one shower pass to the north side yesterday, dime-sized hail in northern baltimore county. that is out of here. patchy fog this morning. 20% chance of a thundershower popping up this afternoon. so just keep the umbrella handy, two-degree guaranteed high of 86. >>> 5:30. let's see what's happening on the roads with kim. >> traffic i

here's justin berk. >> we needed rain, we got some rain. it made for a muggy start.emperature actually bumped up a degree in the past hour, 73 now in baltimore. 60s to the north side. they actually cleared out york county north and west. even patchy fog from there because of the rain yesterday and clear skies overnight but for us, clouds and leftover rain this morning. we'll back it up 12 hours. watch the storms that blew through. the storms that really prompted the severe thunderstorm watches and warnings. the ones that actually dumped about 3/4-inch hail in howard county and about golfball-sized hail in poreses of harford county yesterday. inch and a half of rain, damaging winds, that was yesterday, right? we've got the conveyer belt pumping in more moisture this morning, lower eastern shore. we've had a few spotty showers so far and yes, there's a stalled cold front back there that is going to help to regenerate more showers and this line of storms likely to fire up after 3:00 p.m. that will dwindle down during the evening. we'll re-fire more around the bay tomorr

here's meteorologist justin berk. >> 6:44.his morning's low, we drop back to 58 degrees. 54 was the record low. it was in the 50s from easton all the way through york. even at 63 in ocean city. well below normal. not much recovery yet. they are at 64 at this hour. 60 in baltimore. definitely a chilly in the air and with the sun now fading behind increasing clouds that is actually a little bit further to the south, thicker because of this storm system. you'll see the thing chugging off the coast. it will increase the winds out of the east today. that in and of itself would hold down temperatures but we drag in more cloud cover and develop more cloud cover throughout the day. that is why we hold our two-degree guarantee to 78 degrees. that is actually two degrees lower than the mark that norm gave you last night but still within that two-degree range. i just believe the cooler start and increasing cloud cover will hold us in the 70s. below our normal expectations. 61 through tonight with some clearing. and tomorrow, holding in t

. >>> meteorologist justin berk, if we're heading for the hills or the beach, what will we find? >> looks like showers and storms. by the way, megan may need a whole week for that. a little muggy. we've got ourselves temperatures ranging from a cool pocket of 64 towson in the valley section by the way. that's the cromwell bridge area. 76 degrees in arnold. most of us pushing around the 70 degree mark. while we're looking at a mix of clouds and sprinkles around the area, there's also false echoes showing up. some showers are real back into the mountains. we should stay dry this morning. this afternoon, we have to look out for strong and severe thunderstorms. after a high of 89, we'll talk about the weekend coming up. here's kim now with a first check of the roads. >>> as we check around the beltway, things are quiet right now. traffic is running smoothly on the beltway. route 25 after black rock road is closed because of debris on the roadway, we're working a crash in the city. looking at the beltway right now, this is the outer loop on the west side at liberty road. jamie, back t

. >>> we're going to look at weather with justin berk. a little bit of rain moving in?that's right. we're watching it on maryland's most powerful doppler radar at 6:15. you can see it's chugging up the bay now. from cambridge all the way up to easton. we're looking at hefty rains. also watching it pushing its way on up from calvert county on in through anne arundel county. in fact we can take you in a little closer, if you're watching us near shady side, it's heading up in your direction and probably passing to the west side of annapolis, maybe crofton and even bowie or laurel could be getting in on some of this action. while it's not quite there yet in easton and st. michaels it's getting close and we're watching the track of the heavy rain, extending towards cambridge, even lightning strikes there in portions of caroline county. it's good news because they need the rain. we all need it and it's pushing its way basically from the lower eastern shore and trying to head up in our direction. there's that cluster we were focused in on. looks like it's trying to close in on

let's go to justin berk. >> thank you. 6:12. might have been a little cool at the pool but this morning it's even chillier. first off, fog advisory through 9:00 a.m. that is carroll, fredrick county, points westbound. had pretty thick fog formed. it's not widespread but there are spots where visibility is pretty low. locally temperatures check out like this -- 55 in york, pennsylvania. 60 hagerstown. we're in that range with 59 here in baltimore. it jumps to 64 in easton where they've had clouds most of the night and into the early morning, beginning to break up the clouds. 71 now in ocean city. as you can see that cloud line really just clipping the lower portion of the delmarva, with the rain skirting just to the south and it's clear skies, otherwise patchy fog mixed in on the north side. upper level low pressure system pretty much what we've been dealing with the last couple of weeks governing our weather pattern here. it dominates the feature with the northwesterly flow and bringing in the chilly air. that is why temperature

middle of the week. >> weather now with justin berk. >> 5:08. wake-up window at the bottom of the screen. just want to take maryland's most powerful doppler radar across the border into virginia. we have one lone shower. considering the flare-up in baltimore and carroll county last night with winds at 40 miles per hour and dime-sized hail, we'll watch this atmosphere produce maybe isolated showers. this is near fredericksburg, it will pass to the south of dc and doesn't look like it's close to baltimore but if we follow that track it could be passing anne arundel county during, let's say the 6:00 or 7:00 hour. we'll watch that. otherwise, right now the inner harbor 70 degrees. we have a muggy start. some patchy fog to the north. where temperatures are in the jucial 60s. we'll have a -- are in the upper 60s. we'll have a partly sunny skies morning, chance of a shower, 86 degrees. if you don't get wet, don't get mad. just a small chance today. >>> let's see what's happening on the roads with kim. >> quiet ride southbound on 83 from pennsylvania, t

here's justin berk. it's been so nice lately. i think so. >> let's go to the beach, huh? >> yeah. >>> 6:15. the sun is coming up off of the atlantic and over the shorelines here in maryland. 65 degrees and north east wind at 12. it's going to hold temperatures down along the shoreline. you are traferring that cool air and water temperature onto the shoreline. that will hold our temperatures in the upper 70s, maybe low 80s in some spots today. we'll get you back to the beach forecast in a moment. officially down to 61 now at bwi marshal. the mountains back to our west and overall it's low 60s. not that much of a difference. generally, clear skies this morning. we take you back northwest, cluster of thunderstorm as long the upper level pattern. the clouds may filter into baltimore, but we're not expected to have the storms today. we remain on the cool side of this pattern and may lean in towards the weekend. a shift to the wind could get heat and humidity back in there. first things first, the high clouds begin to stroll in because of the storm comex to the north and west.

justin berk. >> 6:30. i think megan said this morning she comes to work for a distraction. >> right. >> just don't talk to rob. you guys can go ahead and think i'm calm and cool. >> he's the mess. we're very nervous for you. this morning, outside, maryland's most powerful doppler radar, we've been watching some rain push through the west side. we had showers earlier on in through anne arundel county and passing off the new jersey shoreline. we're watching this little band of rain, doesn't look like there's much lightning with it but we're watching this band of moderate rain passing to the north side of reisterstown and through westminster and looks like we have this heading over towards the hereford zone. looks like parkton and pretty boy getting a little wet this morning along the 83 stretch. overall showers this morning and chance of showers and thunderstorms through midday and this afternoon. our high temperature this afternoon will be 82. a little lower than our two-degree guarantee because of all the

let's go to justin berk for a look at the forecast. >> reporter: 6:44. i want to do a time lapse because we have a great shot of the full moon going down over the western sky, now watching the sun come up over the eastern sky at umbc in catonsville. a few clouds but mostly sunny for most of us, 65 degrees, winds out of the north at 6 miles per hour. that northerly breeze to hold the humidity down, may also provide a few clouds mick mixing in during the afternoon. 65 parkville middle school, also a bit of a gusty breeze. officially 62 in baltimore. that is coming off of yesterday's high of 88. yesterday, warmest day of the week, now we settle back with the below normal pattern. the source of air coming from pennsylvania. they are in the lower 50s. cool weather will follow. as we have just a few clouds mixed in we're essentially calling it a mostly sunny to partly cloudy afternoon with the two-degree guarantee of 82 degrees but it just will be pleasant and that breeze at 5 to 15 miles per hour. tonight we'll settle back down into the upper 50s. low to mid-

these stories and more coming up on our 6:00 hour but first let's send it over to justin berk with at the first forecast. >> good morning. look what i found this morning. >> yes? >> found the sun. it's coming up over the eastern sky off of umbc

here's meteorologist justin berk. >> here's your morning zen, whatever you're doing, stop and come to the tv. randy, want to thank him for sending this shot. the rotation of the earth is just too fast to hold a close tight shot of this. the moon was officially full last night. you might as well call it full this morning. absolutely gorgeous. we're about 10 minutes from sunrise but over the western sky you can see that full moon there. that is beautiful. of course the kids may be howling today. that is a whole other story. generally we're looking at conditions, 63 degrees, winds currently calm. what an absolutely pleasant july morning. and what an absolutely gorgeous july day we have in store. 66 easton compared to 56 up towards york. that covers the spread across the area. we'll get up quickly between 65 and 70. sunshine followed by a partly cloudy afternoon. and a pleasant breeze with our two-degree guarantee of 82 degrees. >>> 5:31. let's go back to the roads. >> i'm getting word of a road closure, that is in westminster. route 482 at lefters church road. that is closed due to an ac

. >>> and our man with the weather, justin berk. >> we're in the upper 80s. temperatures near normal. by the way, you're going to hear about this i'm sure coming up on "good morning america." the pacific northwest has been baking. seattle, washington, set their all-time high yesterday. seattle, 103. why do i mention that? it seems easier to take. 67 in western howard county, one of the cooler spots. we're looking at clear skies this morning in baltimore. 73. feeling like 77, a little steamy. we're dry now on maryland's most powerful doppler radar. the radar will get much more active as we head into the afternoon. watch for the storms to fire up much like they did last night where we had showers in carroll, howard and northern baltimore county erupt after 9:00, 10:00. there's a chance of more showers and storms popping up through this afternoon. and overnight we may improve our chance of rain coming through tomorrow morning and keep that chance throughout the day friday. our two-degree guarantee gets us to 9. just a little -- 89, just a little above normal wit

here now with the weather is justin berk. >> liked it so much, i figured i'd show it to you one more time. we take you back to mount airy. we are looking at the clouds beginning to fill back in, even though we've had clear spots across the way. 77 downtown baltimore also watching those clouds making a return into our sky view. there is a hazy start, but they are going to deal with more sun this morning in ocean city at 75. all right. let's see what's happening across the region. we have a frontal bond dry back to the west. there's more behind that and we expect the showers to start to develop just before lunchtime. it could be severe. we'll go for a high of 89 degrees and watch the storms continue through this evening and tonight, kim now with a check of the roads. >> still dealing with the fuel spill on the northbound lanes at 695 on the bw parkway. we check around the beltway, we don't have any problems to let you know about. if you are going downtown, keep in mind, the artscape road closures start in effect through sunday. mount royal will be closed between charles street and nort

>>> justin berk. >> good morning. 6:43. we're taking a look outside now starting off this monday in ocean city. they are overcast now. warm 71 on the boardwalk. the airport checking in with 75. winds out of the northeast, a little bit of and undertow, upper 60s to near 70 degrees. we have orange shading in the southern portion of the dellma have southbound -- delmarva southbound. once you head up to central pennsylvania, they are 52 in altoona. they are clear and under the influence of canadian high pressure. this cloud line across the bay, that means an improvement. even if you're waking up with clouds. this system continues to dive its way off to the south and off the coast. we're on the fringe of this cool pattern here. it does appear as if we'ring ? to stay generally -- we're going to stay generally dry. we're watching fast level winds in the mid-portion of the atmosphere, after sunset, before midnight could bring in showers. out of here by midnight. we're clear and chilly tomorrow morning. then dry tomorrow on in throu

. >> we'll get to all the stories we just mentioned earlier but first, justin berk with a look at thether. >> good morning. 4:58. monday the 13th which means -- monday the 13th. good morning. we take you outside where we have a thin vail of high clouds but otherwise, call it clear because you will see the moon, stars and we'll see the sun coming up. 58 towson and westminster. 59 ellicott city. 68 edgemere. 72 annapolis. we're dry on maryland's most powerful doppler radar. and as we go through the day we're looking for the wide spread of morning temperatures, going to an afternoon reading of 85, that's our two-degree guarantee. one tick before 5:00 a.m. the roads with kim. >> good morning. traffic flowing smoothly around all the major highways around the area. however, we have a couple of road closures, that's for overnight construction on the outer loop at whitemarsh boulevard, expect to see that right lane and exit ramp blocked. also 95 southbound past route 175 when you approach route 100, two left lanes closed for construction, they reopen later in the morning. 695 at liberty road,

. >> justin berk. >> >> what am i going to do with the factsy football team this year? >> good morning. we take you back to the coldest spot we can find in maryland, in garrett county. bennet road elementary school in oakland, 45 degrees. that is back in the mountains, right? let's check locally. umbc in catonsville, 64. beltway, milder, and the sun coming up is going to warm things up in a hurry but look at the wind, northwest at 8. that is a constant flow of cool air and yes, out of the northwest. the split between the mid-60s between the beltway and the bay versus the 40s in the mountains. most of us down in the 50-degree category. ellicott city now 54. live update on the screen. 54 in towson. back up to 61 in churchville. overall we have a cool morning, sitting at 60 at bwi marshall. we'll probably get the new update at the top of the hour and maybe between hours dropping a mark below that. but overall near road low, the source of cool air will keep us comfortable in afternoon. clouds not likely to build until tomorrow night. and thursday. but today mostly sunny and

justin berk. >> good to have you back. >> thank you. >> good morning to you. we've got a few clouds trying to slip through the area now. we're trying to get the sun up here. parkville middle school, 65 degrees. we go downtown baltimore, you can see the clouds slipping off into the distance at 72. now check out the rest of the area. towson 57. 57 ellicott city. even back towards frederick. yet by the way it's 67 in edgemere. 65 in rock hall. big spread across the region this morning. we're going to go generally throughout the 60s to near 70 as we start off the morning hours, we're generally looking for sunny to partly cloudy skies today into the afternoon. our two-degree guarantee 85. let's see what is happening on the roads now with kim. >> thank you. traffic is looking good early on this

. >>> let's look at the weather with justin berk. good morning. >> good morning. straight up 6:00. we've got ourselves a very warm setup. in fact a little muggy this morning. i want to take you back to stevenson where we have a little fog. and we had a shower last night roll through carroll and northern baltimore county. and there may be fog in those spots that got that overnight rain bath. we got 70 degrees now in stevenson. also in cockeysville and churchville. 73 parkville. on the bottom side of the beltway, 73 glen burnie. we're clear now on maryland's most powerful doppler radar but a partly sunny sky will give way to just an isolated storm this afternoon. 89 is going to come with some sticky humidity and it's going to feel warmer than that but we'll actually increase our chance of rain as we head through tomorrow. >>> 6:00 a.m. if you have not heard yet, it's kim brown's birthday. >> thank you. traffic lights still out in the baltimore county area, probably from yesterday's storms. you can expect to see the lights not working at the baltimore national pike and the intersectio

. >>> here we go with our weather, here's justin berk. >> 5:39. taking a look outside. a couple of things to factor in this morning. number one, temperature. warm. currently 7 a degrees. that is not a -- 75 degrees, that is not a downtown number, that is the airport. 75 easton. 81 ocean city. let's factor in the humidity. what does it feel like? 79 to 80 around the bay. that's before the sun comes up here at 5:39 in the morning. feels like 87 in ocean city. we've got the real humid weather in place and mostly cloudy skies. showers passing to the west side. we've already had a few overnight and likely to have a few more throughout the day. at any point in time you could develop heavy rain-producing thunderstorms, so look for the dangerous lightning, listen for the thunder and definitely be on the lookout for the possibility of some localized flooding with the heavy rain-producing storms this afternoon. our high temperature today 82. let's see what is happening on the roads at 5:40. here's kim. >>> as we check both the harbor tunnel and fort mchenry tunnels, no problems t

here's justin berk. >> the guy is washed up. let's stop covering him. >> it's over? >>> our wake-up window at the bottom of the screen. our, look at this -- for those of you that missed summer, for those of you that weren't complaining it was not warm enough, here you go, it's a little muggy for the muggles out there. 72 degrees in baltimore. 80 in ocean city. there's some summer stuff for you we have not seen in a while. showers and storms on the lower eastern shore by the logo blocking it but it's still coming down. a few showers coming into the mountains. so in between, we may develop showers late morning. i had to adjust this 12-hour forecast. we're near 70 and we have a chance of showers running through early afternoon. the sun pops out later today with temperatures soaring to about 89. that is the upper limit of our two-degree guarantee. if the sun comes out sooner it's a possibility that committee could be aiming into the -- we could be aiming into the 90s. we'll try to keep it at 89 for those that don't like the heat and humidity. >>> 5:3. let's go to the map

here's meteorologist justin berk. >> if you missed yesterday we've got today.today we have tomorrow. and we may even have the day after that. so let's start out this morning, cold front came through. we slipped down to 63 degrees in baltimore. 56 up towards york, pennsylvania but the other direction we still got warm air, southern maryland now, 73 degrees in pax river. actually had showers there in southern maryland, lower eastern shore, overnight. that is our cold front. and slowly we're going to start to ooze in cooler temperatures. 65 to 70 for the wakeup. if you're watching now you're already up but once we get out the door we should warm up after the 6:00 hour. 82 is our two-degree guarantee this afternoon. light breeze and partly cloudy. >>> as you make your way southbound on 95 from harford county to the 69 a/895 split, traffic running smoothly at this time. however, we have downed power lines at marriottsville road, closed in both directions at the howard county and carroll county road. police are on the scene and will post detours. southbound harbor tu

with our first look with justin berk. >> good morning. our our wake-up window at the bottom of the screen. want to remind you, again, when we have a chance of some storms in there it doesn't guarantee we're going to get wet. it's pretty much what happened yesterday. a lot of disappointment because we didn't get the rain even though it turned out to be a really nice day. big storm blew through last night dime-sized hail near mount airy. rain in portions of carol county and baltimore and harford county. there's fog there this morning. and we'll expect partly sunny skies to give way eventually to another round of isolated thunderstorms later today. 66 now with patchy fog in stevenson. we're dry on the top side of the beltway by the bob davidson ford lincoln mercury in parkville but we're generally looking at, again, patchy fog this morning, upper 60s, to our two-degree guaranteed high of 86 degrees. i've thrown in the 20% chance of a thundershower which means 80% chance it stays dry. i would still take the umbrella in case. >>> let's see wha

let's find out, justin berk. >> hot and near normal but hot we have not had in a while.e're looking at mostly cloudy skies in downtown baltimore which is a good thing because it will cut down on sun glare for the commute but temperature currently in the inner harbor at 74. you're in the 40s and 50s just yesterday and the day before. we start off at a mild and somewhat muggy 67 towson. 65 ellicott city. that is the cool spot but low to mid-70s around the bay. overall official number at bwi marshall, we just missed the record yesterday at 589 but this morning -- 58 but this morning we start at 71. while we're watching showers fire up lower eastern shore, delmarva and across the coast, another band pushing its way into the mountains doesn't have a lot of umph to it, and showers across central pennsylvania, southern appalachians. this line may get more active after 1:30 especially north and east of baltimore but we'll give the model the possibility of developing showers. take the umbrella and plan for something possible midday. tomorrow, increasing clouds, staying warm, mugg

. >>> let's look at weather, here's justin berk. nothing like that when you were 7, right?> never. 6:14. outside today. we got ourselves a warm humid one and 75 degrees. same story up toward new york and down towards norfolk. mid to upper 70s on the eastern seaboard. we've already had showers roll through earlier on. those of you in anne arundel county probably woke up with thunder and lightning. that passed through cape may and now near atlantic city, new jersey. we also have rain on the west side. it's been falling apart with heavier storms that did blow through northern virginia in the last couple hours but thunder and lightning passing their way on in through south central and western sections of pennsylvania. this is part of a band of rain and storms that will continue to regenerate as we head through the day. give or take the time frame, we generally got the plot midday with more showers and storms. there could be locally heavy rain producers, flash flooding a possibility. and yes of course the dangerous frequent lightning and thunder. heavy rain continues through the

." >>> let's find out about the weather now with justin berk. >>> 6:16. halfway through july. check out these temperatures. head back across this part of the bay, 60 in baltimore. i mentioned earlier just two degrees off the pace of the record 58 set back just 10 years ago. we could get close to that as we dip back maybe in the next half-hour before the sun starts to do its thing. york, pa, 47 degrees. that is chilly. and the chill continues to flow in across the area. look back towards altoona 48. 53 pittsburgh. some places across the great lakes will struggle to reach 70. we'll get there before lunchtime, though. but we've got this cool flow out of the northwest and that will continue for today and in through tomorrow. in fact our forecast model highlighting the clear skies and near probably record lows tomorrow morning. tomorrow afternoon sunshine followed by increasing clouds. that is the gray shading you see here. the whiter colors, that's thicker cloud cover towards the mountains by 5:00 pp. showers arrive through western and central pennsylvania and western maryland. th
