temperatures for the evening hours. 81 at reagan national and that air conditioner is humming tonight. 75 leonardtown; annapolis, 78 degrees and in baltimore and that is not going to cool off a lot. when you wake up tomorrow, the temperatures are in the low to mid-70s and that is a big change after the last few mornings when we were waking up to 50s and 60s and one or two showers breaking out. off to north and west into central pennsylvania and some are creeping into maryland and virginia and i will put winchester to cumberland and hagerstown. they could creep closer to the washington area overnight. i think generally, we will wake up with a mix of sun and clouds. tomorrow afternoon, the cold front, which brought good thunderstorm activities will come keyser and to the showers and thunderstorms around here. a descent chance. 50, 60% chance of some scattered showers and thunderstorms during the afternoon and if you have plans, don't cancel them. be ready for a possibility of some afternoon showers and thunderstorms. the high temperatures tomorrow, 93 in washington; 93, leopardtown; 89, annapolis and i

here in washington, we are down to 72. -- leonardtown, 62. sat lute radar, haven't had much to show you the last couple of days. that is because high pressure is overhead. it should be a nice day today. there will be a few more clouds than yesterday but the rain shower ask tuft that is out towards chicago will stay well out to our west today and really, our next chance for any measurable rain around here will arrive in the form of some thunderstorms as we get into sunday afternoon and even those will be widely scattered. so this is a really nice bit of weather we are having here. lots of sunshine, warm this afternoon but not terribly humid. winds out of the north at five miles per hour. check out the code orange air quality. that is moderate air quality so take it easy out there. later tonight, clear skies, not as cool overnight. here comes the humidity during the overnight hours. 68. tomorrow, a little more humidity than today. warmer, hot, by tomorrow afternoon, 9 #. there you go, sunshine, moat of the sunday. could be some late day storms.

the forecast for today, more of the same. -- our friend at leonardtown, 72. scattered afternoon showers and thunderstorms. look for a high today of 93 degrees. for tonight, another warm one. overnight lows in the mid-70s. maybe a shower or thunderstorm during the evening hours. you know how that goes, they will be widely scattered. more heat, humidity and afternoon showers and thunderstorms tomorrow a possibility. friday, we're cooler. 85degrees. we'll take that. that is below normal. maybe an afternoon shower or thunderstorm. over the course of the weekend, we're warm again. not as warp as today but it looks like we'll see sunshine. right now, we don't have rain in the forecast. now, let's get to julie wright and get an update on the morning rush hour traffic. >> as you know, fox 5 is monitoring metro and this morning, we do have some problems to report on metro's blue-orange line there at foggy bottom. the entrance escalators are not working this morning. the station remains open. it is the escalators that are not working on metro's blue- orange line. here

leonardtown, good morning, you are 61 degrees. 55 in frederick. off to the north and west, martinsburg, 57. that is almost jacket weather for parts of the area. frederick, 55. open up a little bit and you can see the cool weather across the mid-atlantic. pittsburgh, 61. if you've got chicago on your map, it is 77. there is the leading tongue of the warmer air that will start to get in here as we get into particularly sunday but tomorrow, we'll be back into the 90s. sun you, warm today. we'll hold temperatures down a little bit. i think we'll be in the upper 80s again today. low humidity with plenty of sunshine. >> thank you. >>> let's check in with julie wright for the latest on the conditions on the roadways. >> all right. good morning once again. we'll start off with the crew in sky fox. i believe they are hovering above the baltimore-washington parkway near powder mill road. for you guys coming in and northbound, i should say together and northbound on the bw parkway, you will find traffic volume moving at speed. no intsd to report in either di

back down to the south, though, fredericksburg, leonardtown, both in the upper 70s, as those are the areas that have seen rain throughout the afternoon. live digital doppler showing rain well to the south and east of the fredericksburg area, but still down towards southern portions of st. mary's county, there may be a couple showers throughout the evening, but all in all, things clearing out. and by tomorrow morning, mostly cloudy skies, very warm, humid again with temperatures in the 70s. rain chances only going to increase over the next couple days. i'll show you when i think we could see the most rain coming up in my full forecast. >> see you in a bit. thank you, doug. >>> a wife thought she came up with the perfect plan to sneak her husband out of jail. >>> also ahead this afternoon, sign this horse up for the kentucky derby. an eight-mile chase along a highway is caught on tape. >>> plus, she is nicknamed "the black widow" and won the nathan's hot dog eating contest on the 4th. two days later, alexandria's own sonja thomas joins us in the studio to talk about the >>> this is one

only 80 in leonardtown, but the rest of the area around that 90 degree mark. including clinton, annapolis, baltimore around the 09 degree mark. so its a very humid day. >>> the radar, no rain in our region. we did see rain and still have some light rain in southern portions of st. mary's county, but that is it. if you're thinking about going to the nationals' game tonight, should be a-okay, on the warm side. here's the rain that came through this morning. now looking at the rain to our south and east. that is with that frontal boundary that's just kind of been meandering around our region. came further to the north today. i think tomorrow it will move further north, so giving just about everybody a better chance of showers and thunderstorms. and we'll break that down for you right now. 7:00 tonight, not much going on. tomorrow morning, may see some fog in some locations, but that's going to be about it. look what happens around noon. widely scattered showers and thunderstorms. i think the best chances early would be along the bay breezes down near toward south

right here in leonardtown, up to two inches of rainfall in the center of the system, north of newland. just south of lesby, a storm cell there. we're not expecting severe weather. currently, temperatures in the lower 80s in downtown. 75 in manassas. 82 in leesburg. 86 in winchester. the clouds are keeping the temperatures down for now. dew points, yeah, you feel it in the lower 70s. 72 manassas. 75 in culpepper. so that humid air will stick around through tonight. that means it will be very warm if not mild overnight. partly to mostly cloudy conditions for the rest of today. i think this afternoon, get a little clearing possible. scattered storms stick around this afternoon and early evening. humidity still increasing throughout the day today and the storm chances remain with us all week. but the weekend, not looking too bad. here is a look at the future cast. i think the clouds will start to pull out late this afternoon so we'll get some clearing and again, scattered showers, thunderstorms possible around 40% or so. tonight, should be fairly quiet again. not going to be widespread. a

leonardtown, 73 degrees. not going to see any rain overnight tonight. a slight chance of a shower or two as the frontal boundary to our north begins to make its way down to the south. a couple of showers trying to make their way toward western maryland. that's about it. but these two front, one to our south, another to our north, those will provide a focal point tomorrow to give us the shower and thunderstorm opportunity. i'm not looking for a lot in the way of severe weather. but any thunderstorms that do develop could produce very heavy downpours for a time period. so we could be seeing some localized flooding. very warm and humid conditions remain. as the front lingers, an area of low pressure moves along. on friday, depending on where that area of low pressure moves and develops, friday could be a fairly wet day for some of us. not everybody is going to be getting wet. tomorrow morning, mostly sunnily clear, warm and humid. 67 to about 74 degrees. there could be a few areas of fog in those fog-prone areas. tomorrow afternoon, partly sunny, hot and h

so warm in leonardtown, they don't want to report. 72 in hagerstown. going to be a hot one. low to mid-90s back in the forecast. plenty of heat and humidity and the heat index will probably be pushing 95 to 100 later this afternoon. you can see the thunderstorms are pretty far away here, down south and west of charlottesville. later this affect, with the front that has been hanging out to our south down towards the north carolina, virginia border here, that will waver to the north. as it lifts to the north as a warm front, we'll be noticeably more warm, more humid and that the very summery air mass later today. it changes here as we get into the afternoon. here is your forecast. partial sunshine, scattered afternoon shower or a thunderstorm. 93 your daytime high. warm and humid. muggy conditions, here is your five-day forecast. 93 today. 909 tomorrow. 85, still some scattered thunderstorms on friday. and that sets us up for a fantastic weekend. less humidity around here. right now, it looks great. let's do some on-time traffic with julie wright. she is back in the house. not

we are holding onto that heat once again this morning in the city. 72 in leonardtown. we are starting to get reports of some pretty good fog out there this morning so you wanted to be careful of that. you can see the shower activity. you can seat showers and even a rumble of thunder fading off. the good news is we'll be in for a relatively quiet day. frontal system we mentioned yesterday is just a little bit further south today but it will start to push back on top of us during the day tomorrow. so a day of transition i guess we'll call it. still going to be warm and humid out there. mostly sunny, warm, humid, 90 degrees your daytime high. winds out of the north at five to 10. partly cloudy, warm overnight. 74 your overnight low. there are your winds out of the south at five to 10. 88 tomorrow with afternoon thunderstorms returning. thursday too. friday and saturday, kind of typical july weather, highs in the upper 80s with some humidity and some sunshine. let's -- that's a look at your weather forecast. let's get to lauren demarco with the traffic. >> we do have the c

we are just not cooling off a whole lot. 75 at reagan national. 72 in leonardtown. martinsburg, 63. hagerstown, 66. winchester, 64. we have fog developing west of the mountains. be ready for that. the possibility that fog could be dense in spots, down to about a quarter mile. some light shower activity moving on through during the overnight hours. most of it well south an east of the city into southern maryland and lower eastern shore. high pressure out to the west out in indiana and ohio trying to build in but it is not really going to be successful as the frontal system that we've had wavering around here for the last couple of days is still in the neighborhood. we've got kind of a battleground at the moment but as we get into the moment, we should see a return to plenty of sunshine. mostly sunny skies. warm, humid out there. 90 your daytime high. code orange air quality, another day with moderate air quality. later today, partly cloudy and warm. 74 your overnight low. plenty of humidity when you get up. there are your showers and thunderstorms. they're back by wednesday and thurs

that is not right at 5:00 in the morning. 79 in annapolis, 73 in leonardtown. mountains 69, martinsburg 69 in hagerstown. the futurecast together and take a look and here we are at 1:00. by 1:00 we'll see the showers and thunderstorms kind of fill in. but look what happens later this afternoon and tonight. whoa, by 9:00, 10:00 tonight. some widespread very heavy rain around here at least the potential for it and the areas will be slow movers and the storms could drop a couple of inches of rain in a short period of time. we've got the flash flood watch in our area. by tomorrow morning we should be waking up with some sunshine and a good looking day tomorrow. i think the weekend will be dry with temperatures tomorrow afternoon only in the 80s. so it will get better from here. 86 this afternoon. flash flood watch in effect starting at 12:00 noon today. plenty of clouds out there. there's the showers and thunderstorms back in the forecast. some of those heavy rain producers and wind out of the south at 5 to 10. mostly cloudy overnight, 71 the overnight low. 87 tomo

quickly racing away from areas in southern maryland where a couple of sprinkles around leonardtown.n down in the northern neck, route 360 here. other than light sprinkles, that's it from the overnight showers. temperatures where the air is a little bit drier and the skies have cleared some. the low to mid-60s. we're still in the low to middle 70s with 75 degrees now at reagan national under mostly cloudy skies. winds, drier direction. north-northwest at 7. that will turn southerly. dew point at 65. want to show you this frontal boundary. this things gets close to us late tomorrow into thursday. with this coming toward us. another boundary off to the south. getting a little squeeze play tomorrow into thursday. while we've got the slight chance, real slight chance of a storm this afternoon and there you see them popping up, it looks like tomorrow afternoon, we'll have a better chance to pop a couple of showers and storms and again on thursday as well. looking ahead toward the next three days, today, we've got forecast high 91 degrees with the isolated storm out there. wednesday, some

temperatures, 84 in manassas right now, 77 in sterling, and 88 down towards leonardtown. as far as the evening goes tonight, we're going to be seeing temperatures 78 to about 83 degrees. but there's the big risk. slight risk of severe weather, heavy rain, possible flooding out there. tomorrow, this will all be a memory. this will move out of here fairly early, we'll see some clouds early, but then a nice start with things becoming mostly sunny by tomorrow afternoon. i think tomorrow is going to be a beautiful day, a little bit on the humid side. 86 to about 90 degrees. and as we move through the rest of the weekend, the weekend looking great. high of 92 on sunday. so just watch out out there for the next couple hours. if you don't have to be out, might as well stay at home. >> all right. thanks, doug. >>> still to come on news4 at 4:00, the royal couple is headed for los angeles. we'll head west for the royal red carpet treatment. >>> and a wild morning on the "today" sho >>> welcome back to news4 at 4:00. i'm pat lawson muse. >> and i'm wendy rieger sitting in for jim ha
