let's get started with meteorologist lynette charles. it's looking good megan. >> now into the the afternoon we will heat things up but right now temperature coming in at 64-degrees in pilesville. good morning to you. good morning shadyside close to 70 degrees right now and cockeysville around 73. it's not going to be as windy as it has been but the breezes out of the southwest i'd say maybe around 5 to 7 miles an hour. in urbanna a beautiful sunrise once again. a few clouds nix manager through the day but -- mixing in through the day but through the clouds no type of rain falling from the sky although we need the rain. maryland's most powerful radar will stay dry through the day with maybe a slight chance for a shower through the overnight into tomorrow morning. now a check of the abc2 timesaver traffic with laurencook. >>> through the fort mchenry tunnel tunnel but you will want to use that instead of the harbor tunnel. we have all of the construction that's still going on just south of the toll plaza. or you can also use the key bridg

we have a full plate weather, traffic and news across the board and we start with mike in for lynette charles it's the humidity. >> humidity is going to be a problem. we could do 90 butta the humidity it's a different battle. 77 downtown right now. i think the harbor could hit close to 100 today and again humidity will make the real feel numbers into the triple digits. we measure moisture with dew point values and we have the dew points into the 60s to near 70. so excessive heat advisory excessive heat warnings across the area. look at future temperatures. right around noontime 94 degrees this model is printing out on the way for a daytime high of 97. moving the timeline into tonight's still into the #0s for up and down -- 80s for up and down the 95 stretch. triple digit heat and real feel temperatures between 102 and 107. sporting -- splitting hairs and it's going to be dangerously hot over the next couple days. we will talk about the forecast coming up in a little bit and there's going to be storms in the mix. we will talk about that coming up. let's look

now here's lynette charles with a look at the forecast. >>> we can see what's going on in glen ill right now coming in around 60 degrees. 61 emmettsburg and glen oak at 63. the winds right now they're on the light side. but they'll pick up as we go throughout the day and northeasterly flow at about 5 to 15 miles an hour. but as we step outside in glen oak this morning we are seeing that sun/cloud mix out there and that's what we will continue to see throughout the day. what i am thinking though is that we will get little bit more cloud cover than what we saw yesterday. although we will have some sunshine. as we look at maryland's most powerful radar, as of now we do have all five sweeps on. we are nice and dry and we should stay dry throughout remainder of today and beyond. i'll detail sailabration coming up but right now over the charlie. >>> the festivities are underway for the star-spangled sailabration at the inner harbor and abc2 news megan pringle has a prevow of what to expect when this officially kicks off later today. megan? >> reporter: charlie, it officially kicks off later on
