mary's county south of leonardtown, we're starting to pick up some activity as well. here's a different look at the doppler radar in motion. i just want to zoom in. you see some of the sprinkles trying to move toward fredricksburg here but it's down in the richmond area where we're really seeing the big thunderstorms that have been falling for hours. they extend from the south side of richmond east, northeast. lightning is now east of richmond, south of newland. that's that little shower south of leonardtown. scattered showers now in st. mary's county. so we'll watch that. i don't think it's going to creep much farther north. might sneak into southern calvert at this point but the rest of us are going to stay dry till maybe this afternoon with a spotty shower. temperatures are in the 70s and some upper 60s like baltimore is 69. it's 68 in winchester. low 60s in cumberland this morning. very comfortable at 63 while here in d.c. good visibility, a little dark at the white house. it's back there on our michael & son weather camera. 77 degrees under partly cloudy skies, n

good morning, 76 in annapolis. -- 72 in leonardtown. we do have some humidity. it will be a warm and humid afternoon and we'll watch the clouds billow up just like yesterday. satellite-radar, couple of features. got an area of low pressure off to the south and east. that is responsible for shower activity across the lower eastern shore. i showed you that, a close-up not other long ago. this will scoot out to sea. this won't be impacting us directly. we have the possibility to see a pop-up shower or thunderstorm this afternoon. off to the north and west, that is a cold front. that will get in here during the day tomorrow t could kick off i afew more showers and thunderstorms and in the wake of the cold front during date on thursday and friday, our air will really dry out. we'll lose the humidity around here for the end of the week although temperatures will be a touch warmer. today, 86. partly sunny skies. we'll see some peeks of sunshine through the clouds. scattered afternoon showers and storms return. kind of a repeat from yesterday. partly cloudy with some ea

temperatures combined with the humidity is making for a brutal night out there. 82, annapolis; 81, leonardtown; 79, monasses at dulles and these temperatures are not falling off a lot overnight. i want to show you the high temperatures today. we're on the northern edge of the worst of the heat and focusing to the south and west. the daytime high, 105 degrees and in to saint louis. puts the nationals down there this afternoon and that is the hottest temperature ever in atlanta today, 106 degrees, amazing. 103 in wilmington. 97 degrees and cooler, hundreds and we had that yesterday. i think later tomorrow, the high temperatures are back in the upper 90s, no heat advisorys and we'll see if we get more for tomorrow afternoon and that is that big thunderstorm complex. that one just missed us. if you were a viewer on to the west, culpepper and to charlottesville, you got in on that thunder action again and severe with a few tornados that developed east of richmond during the nighttime hours and last night, looking upstream. we're quieter into indiana and ohio and a potential of a shower or two and w

we've got 71 at martinsburg, 75 hagerstown and 73 degrees at leonardtown. so ridge of high pressure moving out opening the door for lots of warm air to filter in. by tomorrow afternoon hazy, hot and humid, a chance of some thunderstorms. then we've got a cold front to the west. that will push its way across the region tuesday. that's our next chance of seeing a round of storms as well. so we've got a couple days you'll have to keep your eyes to the skies. we'll get a little break into midweek before we see another run on of storms that will head our -- round of storms that will head our way. tomorrow we could see strong winds as well. so we'll watch that very closely and keep your eyes to the skies if you're doing anything outside. midday tomorrow we'll hit the 90-degree mark under mostly cloudy skies before the storms start to kick in into the hours of the afternoon. by the 5:00 hour we'll be 92 degrees. here's a look at your five-day forecast. so storms in the forecast for monday, another chance tuesday as those temperatures head to the 90s. hump day wedn

not cool overnight or cooling off overnight. 77 in leonardtown and yesterday morning we were in the 60s and 72 this morning in winchester and there is not a lot to show you and we have a weak cold front yesterday and that is firing up some storms late in the afternoon. they dissipated and don't have that much to drive thunderstorms today and doesn't mean we won't have any with an unstable, hot atmosphere and does not take a lot and there is --y that not going to be numerous. one or two isolateed storms and there is no let up in the heat to the west and temperatures are pushing 100 here for days and days. unfortunately, we're a part of that and to early next week, the pattern changes and things are better. this is your five-day forecast, 99 degrees today. 99 and plenty of humidity as well and friday and saturday, the worst of the heat wave and saturday's heat index is approaching 110 and we'll have excessive heat warnings and with that better. >> like a cooldown? >> yes. >> and is there a light off? >> i don't know. maybe. >> okay. >> how many acres today? >> and -- that is good. >> when

leonardtown, 73 degrees.he further you get outside the beltway, a little bit cooler. 71 out at dulles. we did have the showers and thunderstorms that rolled through late yesterday afternoon. they are out of here and we're looking at much quieter conditions at the moment. a sprinkle or two, lower eastern shore. got this little area of thunderstorms up into southern pennsylvania. i don't think that will hold together. we'll watch that here for the next couple of hours. it should be a mostly sunny start to your day. it will be on the hot side with plenty of haze out there. no real features to talk about today. just, hazy, hot and humid today, tomorrow and much of wednesday and than a cold front will get in here second half of wednesday and that will bring us some cooler temperatures for the end of the week as well as a pretty good chance for thunderstorms wednesday afternoon. futurecast, put it in motion for you. here we are at 11:00. just a few clouds moving through. later this afternoon, just a pop-up shower o

plenty of humidity. 73 in leonardtown. 75 in manassas. satellite-radar, quiet right now. may not stay quiet later this afternoon. our frontal system is just to the north. that will continue to sag into the area. more clouds than yesterday. that is a guarantee. will we see showers and storms? certainly a possibility. a good 50, 60, 70% chance we'll see showers and storms later this afternoon. a little cooler than yesterday, much cooler than yesterday, still on the warm side. 92 your daytime high with scattered showers and storms redeveloping. we could have showers and storms tonight with an overnight low in the mid-70s. gradually improving conditions tomorrow. the weekend, look at that, low to mid-80s with a couple of showers around saturday. i think sunday will be nice and 58. >> now, we're ready for lawrmtd. you know you were trying to steal his thunder a little bit there. >> now, we are ready for lauren demarco. >> i got lucky there. i could have been checking my teeth, my lipstick. the accident just prior to 100 is clear so some brief delays but that should soup be get

you'll be fine. 75 in washington. 70 in gaithersburg. 73 in leonardtown. the humidity not terrible at this hour. we have a lot of heat out to the west. that will build in very quickly today. these temperatures are going to jump as mentioned very close to 100 later this afternoon. we call in the ring of fire because the showers and thunderstorms have to work up and around our big area of high pressure that has been responsible for so much of the heat out to the west. yesterday, again, st. louis, 107 degrees. just miserable out there. that heat pushing towards the washington area as we speak and will move in here shortly. got to watch that little thunderstorm complex. that could bring us a little bit of cloud cover here early, maybe a few showers to parts of the area. just a hot and sunny day. late this afternoon, there could be a few isolated storms but i don't think we'll see much of anything. just a lot of heat and humidity around here later today. heat advisory goes into effect at noon through #:00 tonight. it will feel like 100 to 105. -- heat advisory

leonardtown, good morning. you are now 68 degrees.e warmer closer to the bay with water temperatures in the upper 70s and low 80s. september nell radar, much quieter. we had that locally heavy rain out across the district out east in prince george's county towards annapolis and anne arundel county. not expecting nearly as much action today. the frontal system is a little further to the south today. our winds have shifted out of the north and east and you get the winds off the ocean that. locks in the maritime layer and doesn't provide enough mechanism for a little lift in the atmosphere. we are not expecting the kind of showers and thunderstorms that developed hate in the day yesterday. just partly -- late in the day yesterday. just partly sunny today. isolated storm a possibility. best chance of that will be west so as you get out into the shenandoah, you have the best chance of isolated shower or storm later today. then tonight, partly cloudy, calm, comfortable out there. we'll take t70 degrees your overnight low. -- we'll take it.

first time in about two weeks. 79 quantico. 70 in leonardtown. winchester 78. 7 omar continuesburg. nicer weather. showers and thunderstorms, some of the storms are strong on the overnight hours but they are winding down. there is the satellite and radar. what is happening, the front from yesterday is hanging up to the south across central virginia. it will fade into southern virginia during the course of the day and drag with it the moisture. the trend will be to take the rain showers and thunderstorms out of the forecast. i don't think we will completely lose the cloud cover. if you are watching south of washington, the risk of a shower is in the forecast. 85 the daytime high. plenty of afternoon clouds. winds 5 to 10. mostly cloudy tonight. 71 the overnight low. a little unsettled this week. that is code for showers and storms in the forecast the next several days. it won't rain all day. a chance for showers each afternoon. check out the cooler temperatures all week long. we will enjoy highs in the 80s. we will take it while we can get it. that is weather. let's see if julie wrig

upper 80's. 69 degrees in leonardtown. 73 in the district. 71 degrees in alexandria. isolated storms this afternoon. most of the cloud cover is south of our area. it is going through tennessee and north carolina. the stationary front will move north and when it does, warmer temperatures increase chances of showers and thunderstorms. here is the futurecast showing increasing clouds. isolated showers in the afternoon. we will go to the upper 80's today. to my, partly cloudy. -- tonight, partly cloudy. tomorrow we will and the workweek with mid-80's. mostly cloudy skies. tomorrow is the day with 84 to 89 and humidity levels climbing. to the weekend low or 90's your job or sandstorms. -- showers and thunderstorms. go to wjla.com for more weather. it is thursday. lisa baden has the traffic dancers. >> the dulles toll road things working in your favor. even with sunshine in your eyes. extra time to travel because of volume on 66 between centreville and the beltway. 270 southbound is normal between father hurley boulevard and 495. a collision is out of steel city on the way

. >> and 76 in washington and this is some 60s to the west and with that 79 in quantico and leonardtown, good morning, 73 degrees and in baltimore, 68 and that is some temperatures falls into the comfortable range overnight and should be a descent day and it's still summertime in washington and that is from sunday and we're not dealing with rain showers and that is fairly close and that is possible later today with a front this close that we can see a few showers bubble up into the washington area and there is maybe a thunderstorm, too. can't rule out the possibility, but the trend will be to keep most of the shower and thunderstorm activity to the south and we'll be in and out of the cloud cover in washington. and, of course, first north to get to pennsylvania and watching southern pennsylvania. you will see more sunshine this afternoon. why the cooldown isn't jet stream and that is what it's all b. the jet stream, after a big ridge of high pressure is pushing into canada and allowed the cool air to come in and that is going to remain in tact here and enjoy this nice respite from the h

temperatures in the warm zone and still plenty of humidity. 84 in washington. 87quantico. 84 in leonardtownartinsburg. 77winchester. bottom line, temperatures will be a little bit cooler today. upper 80s and low 90s. but i don't know if it will feel great. lots of humidity and possible of a few showers and storms in the forecast this afternoon. a cold front is off to the north here, in central and southern pennsylvania. it's gradually working towards our area. but it's taking its time getting here. moving very slowly. with that in the vicinity, we'll see if we get showers and storms popping up later today. then out to the west, see this mess of clouds and showers and storms to chicago, that will likely get in here late tonight and early tomorrow. remaining rather unsettled the next couple of days with the possibility of some showers and storms, particularly each afternoon. futurecast, the shower activity widely scattered. not as impressive yesterday with the record heat. but still the possibility of a few scattered showers and storms. tonight, could redevelop, and could have some around for
