lynette that's for you. >> that's beautiful i love it. not -- that's beautiful i love it. >> now maryland's most powerful doppler radar and the forecast certified most being a ret by weatherate. >> thanks. i love that picture. not the fact it's in hawaii butit was beautiful. so speak of beautiful, yesterday, it was beautiful. our temperature came in right around 86 degrees. yes, it's little above average but the humidity was not too bad. now for today, i can't say that humidity will start to move in more and by tomorrow, oh, yeah, we will feel it. but 88 degrees yesterday in richmond. close to 90 degrees. but basically 80sy where. new york around 82 and philly coming in right around 83. our temperatures right now, 62 degrees in baltimore. and 6 # in richmond and norfolk coming in around 66. altuna at 62 right now. and pittsburgh at 67. so, we will talk about the dew points because this is going to be very important especially going through the next several days. so right now we are looking at a dew point at around 60 at the inner harbor.

now back to you and lynette in the studio. >>> all right. a weather alert now and the toll the heat can take on the roads. look at this road in jackson, mississippi, u.s. 49 and that's no speed bump. road crews think heat actually caused this road to buckle. so oh, yes, they are dealing with it and jackson mississippi and we are going to be dealing with heat moving in as we go through the next few days as well. so right now, into baltimore we are at 77 and check out jackson, yes, they are at 80 and they are going to be warming up as they go throughout the day and we will be warming up too and we will be downright hot as we head into tomorrow. the reason why, well we have high pressure building in across the area and this is a surface high sliding to the south a little going throughout the day. but what we are watching is this upper level ridge that is going to be moving across the area and as it does so, that's when it is going to move in the hot air and the humidity as well. othat's -- shall so that's what we have in store as we go through

lynette you are going to she is smiling and laughing. part of the sierra nevada didn't get the member o. look at this mess -- memo. look at this mess in kingville, california. snow coming down so hard, drivers stopped and put the chains on the tires in june a snowstorm late this year is unusual even for this mountainous area of the u.s. >>> now maryland's most powerful doppler radar and forecast certified most accurate by weatherate. >> i am thankful we are not getting the mess california is getting. take the 9 -- i will take the 90s instead of that. that's what we are going to get today. 90 is what i am forecasting. right now, not picking up on anything. all five sweeps are scanning the skies. the temperatures bel air elementary school coming in at around 61. that eu midity -- humidity is at 91% and winds are calm. checking out what's going on with temperatures around town right now, we are at 67 degrees right now in sparrows point so we are on the warm side. 61 in towson and 61 in west friendship. middletown around 58. annapolis is at

i am meteorologist lynette charles. now we should be around 80 for this time of the year for our high. our low should be around 58 degrees. the record low was set in 1996. it was 1997 rather it was 47 degrees. and 99 should be the record set in 1925. it was hot one and we could be setting more records as we go through the middle of the week into the end of the week. highs yesterday came in right around 83. not too bad there. 82 in winchester. york, pennsylvania around 79 and upper 80s in the charlottesville. so as we check out what's going on for the lows this morning, not too bad. you can see we are above average. 63 degrees into dulles and baltimore. 61 in easton and 55 into york. so feeling pretty good there in hagerstown coming in at around 61 and 57 into winchester. so the satellite and radar not picking up on a lot. high pressure is building in. clouds are sagging to the south and high pressure builds in here, oh, yes, we will get more of the northwesterly flow and we will have a nice day on tap so make sure you g

here meteorologist lynette charles. good morning. >> good morning. it's going to be a fabulous day or a marvelous monday. you can see what's happening. so we have a little bit of patchy fog this morning. ample sunshine going throughout the day. temperatures will be warm in the mid-80s and then we will warm things up as we go through in theth middle of the week and humidity -- through the middle of the week and the humidity will return. get out and enjoy today because change is on the horizon. as we look at maryland's most powerful radar, the five sweeps are on. you will see a quiet trend on the radar going through the next several days. perry hall's temperature looking at 61 at perry hall. middle school, the winds are calm right now. that humidity is at 97%. dew points are up a little bit going through the the day and we will hope to get northwesterly flow and that will start to drop the dew points down a little bit. that's going to start to feel a little better. 65 in to annapolis. so once again right now, we will soar up into the 80s. we should be

. >> we will check in with lynette charles and see if we can keep this going. i have a feeling she will say no humidity is on the way but we will find out. >> coming, have you seen this little girl. 10-year-old girl may be the next a caso at -- picasso at 10. a painting prodigy and people are paying big bucks for her work. >> we will tell you about that and great local things happening in the community. reach out and read is a program happening right now giving kids the ability to learn more. we will tell you how to get involved. a wonderful program. dr. drover from hopkins is here. we will hear from him and about the program. >> breakthroughs in cancer technology. breast cancer, there's a new drug helping and skin cancer. two new forms of treatment.

lynette charles fresh off a nice outing and it was hot there as well wasn't it? >> yeah. >> oh. >> we had a fabulous time. but you know what, it's going to be hot today. and we go through the day, sweltering heat is in the headlines and it's going to be hazy sunshine we are dealing with. we have a heat advisory so the heat indexes will be about 100 to 1005. temperatures in the mid-90s and humidity is going to take effect. and we have a code orange for today. the storms and a cool downis on the way. and i know you guys can't wait for that one. so the heat advisories for today, you can see them across the area here. as we check over in the eastern shore, things things are look pretty good in terms of the heat advisory. but we have the air quality so that code orange is in effect for basically everybody. where as yesterday, the code orange was not across the eastern shore. so, things definitely have changed for today. as we check out what's going on on maryland's most power fop radar things are dry and will -- powerful radar, things are dryand will stay that way. ti

let's ask lynette charles night going to be a little on the warm side. yesterday, it would have been a perfect day for the search but we can't complain too much. we have a cold orange but i am forecasting temperatures to be right about 90 degrees. that's not too bad i guess. you will add that heat and humidity especially as we go into tomorrow. tomorrow hot. and thursday as well. the storms possible by the end of the week. so friday we can get showers and thunderstorms in here. so the air quality not so great today. aid code orange and it's going to be unheadlighty for sensitive groups many being see the areas shaded in orange. eastern shore looks pretty good. but cecil you are under a air quality alert. checking out what's going on, we saw a storm popping up in adams county that's diminishing as of now. a little shower and also the showers are starting to diminish into montgomery county as well. things look pretty good. we are not sure if it was hitting the ground because of the air used -- needs to be more moist. so edge mere temperature coming in -- e

i am meteorologist lynette charles. and the numbers for today, the low should be around 59 degrees. the record low was sit in 1977. and it was 43 degrees. the record high now should be 97. it was setback in 1999. and you know what, we are definitely going to be flirting with that today. and where we should be is right around 81 degrees so. we will be well-off that. we are looking at heat advisories throughout the day. and the eastern shore looks like it gets a break with the heat advisory from noon until 8 p.m. this evening. but, the eastern shore does not get a break from the code orange in effect. everyone is under the code orange going through the remainder of today. highs yesterday came in right around 90. so we were on the brink of getting really hot. that actually started it. and hagerstown came in around 82. york right around 85. easton close to 90 at 88 degrees. so our lows this morning not too low. close to 70 in baltimore. 70 in easton. and patuxent river at around 72 degrees. 67 in charlottesville. now the moisture big story because if we didn't have the moisture out ther

i am ol jit lynette charles and things are look pretty good.gh pressure billing in across the area. providing us a northwesterly flow that's going going to bring a little more dry air across the area. so we won't be as humid as we go through the midweek. but all in all it's a nice day. make sure to get out and enjoy it. look at future radar shows a little blip out there. maybe a shower or thunderstorm but that's going to stay to the north and east us as we go throughout the day. plenty of sunshine work or way into tomorrow. and for today, the temperature coming in right around 84 degrees. and tomorrow's temperature at 87 and you can see we will be a little warmer and then tonight that temperature will be at 64 degrees as we work into the 7- day forecast and we can see we will start to warm things up as we go throughout time and by wednesday we will be in the 90s that will continue as we head into friday with a chance for showers and thunderstorms in the forecast and cooling down by the weekend. let's send it over to tonya. >> reporter: an earli

joining me, greg mcbride, and lynette cox.o says -- is now a good time to refinance a home loan? >> if you're looking to refinance a home right now, it's a great time to refinance and an awful time to refinance. it's actually both. it's great because interest rates are so low right now. i mean 4.5% for some borrowers and maybe even a little bit lower. it is an awl time, frankly, because everything has changed in the whole mortgage game. lenders are demanding higher credit scores than ever. you definitely got to have 700 or higher to get the best loan rates an terms. they also want you to have a significant amount of equity. we know home prices have fallen. you've also got to have documentation. of course the job to support the mortgage and also all your your assets, whatever you have to show to be able to say, yeah, i really can support it mortgage. so even though the environment from an interest rate standpoint is very attractive for people who want to refinance, the process of getting a loan from the lender might not be so e
