frederick and areas to the west, for the west, leesburg, 57 to start. 61 to start in la plata and around waldorf maryland thanks to high pressure to the north of us that will be making its way eastward. high clouds tomorrow. it's going to be a beautiful day. sure is going feel very nice. sunday low humidity around the area. but with an east and southeasterly wind you can see areas in white. that's where there could be clouds. another weather front making its way east and southeastward but drying up as it does so. so i don't think we're going to see any rain from it. the first part of next week, we'll just get a few clouds. tomorrow morning, clear, terrific start 52 to 62 degrees. tomorrow afternoon another delicious day with that low humidity. comfort zone 77 to 83 degrees. there's a look at sunday's forecast. there's not going to be anything being done by dad except relaxing outside. very nice conditions. high temperature on father's day 81 degrees. let's take a look at the four-day forecast. it's on tuesday with high heat hits us. 90 degrees to 94 wednesday. 90 on friday. >> all right.

that's the number in la plata. 72 in leesburg, and 7 0 over in winchester. the heavy rain has been up across new england all morning and into the afternoon. boston just can't get a break. and here's what i'm keeping my eye on. let's take a flight to the west, over the great lakes. this little spin in the atmosphere is rotating around a parent storm. this is the big storm that sent that cold front through here yesterday. i think tomorrow it's going to try to stir a shower up, but it should mainly skirt by along the mason dixon line and points north. so i do believe most of our monday will -- excuse me, sunday, will be dry and nice. and if you're headed to the beach tomorrow, we're looking at a mostly sunny day at ocean city. the water temperature is 68. and they're looking at a high tomorrow of 78. here comes that little trough i talked about. by tomorrow morning, we're all clear and good to go. it's the afternoon where a few showers try to fire up. this map looks more ominous than what we're going to see. most of the day dry, but keep a weather eye to the sk

currently 84 in man fan sas but you go to -- manassas but you go to la plata where you saw some pretty good thunderstorms go through, you've cooled down in the 70s. 70s for winchester as well. and these storms will continue through this evening. still some could be pretty strong and severe. here's a look at the futurecast. later tonight, some lingering storms maybe in southern maryland and also points east of town. maybe also north into frederick and hagerstown. then after midnight, things really start to die down. and then we make way for the cooler air and also drier air. so we'll notice we'll be able to breathe a little better by saturday morning as the humidity will drop. tonight, though, still some more scattered thunderstorms mainly before midnight. some will be strong or severe. lows 66 to 74 degrees. in downtown temperatures cooling down into the lower 70s. 67 for leesburg. 68 in culpeper. tappahannock, you'll get down to 69 degrees. then for tomorrow morning, we start out really nice. partly sunny and less humid. air quality is code yellow which is moderate for the afternoon.
