that feels nice and refreshing, 82 in manassas and martinsburg and 84 now in luray. on satellite and radar you can see a few clouds off to the west of us, but overall the pattern is very dry. hurricane cristobal is well out to sea. you can barely see any of the clouds from that system on satellite and radar as well. so that dry air is dominating because of high pressure centered north of us. it will drift off to the south and east in the next 24 hours. what will happen with that, it will turn the winds to a more southeasterly direction and allow heat and humidity to start to come back along way warm front friday. by the time you wake up saturday morning just partly cloudy, but you will notice a little bit of an increase in the heat and humidity as we head into the later morning. saturday afternoon thunderstorms firing up north and west of the beltway. we can't rule out a quick stray storm saturday. sunday looks more active. you can see the front really starting to push in and more cloud cover arriving as well. it's going to stay hot and humid. so those elements all c

and near 80 for martinsburg and frederick.at reagan national as we look at the current conditions, 77. they had a light shower as of noon. but the dew point is up to 70. it is really sticky outside. there's a lot of humidity. that's not going away any time soon. the futurecast as we go through the mid-afternoon, 3:00 southern maryland still dealing with scattered showers down toward richmond. there are the showers and storms in the mountains that are going to try to move toward the shenandoah valley. still we're holding on to a few showers south of town for the late afternoon. as we head to tonight, things will settle down. tomorrow we're looking at more showers and storms mainly west of the blue ridge for the afternoon. trying to sneak down a little bit closer to us late in the day. but thursday i think we'll have a better chance of storms as a system approaches. thursday may have to be a yellow alert day. 86 today. that may be optimistic. the spotty showers and the storms west. most of that will be along and i-81. 70 tonight

a little bit of orange showing up on the east of winchester and martinsburg and hagerstown. further south, a fair amount of yellow once you get past manassas. all of the activity to the north and the east. it's hard to storm track because it's running into dryer air and it will be tough to see when it gets across i-270, but it's already in rockville. it's already in tyson's and it's already toward gaithersburg. so, yellow alert tomorrow for thunderstorms. heavy downpours and damaging winds are possible. getting more concerned about that. that will be a 4 to 8 time frame. morning and evening commutes will be wet. and then grab the umbrella and allow extra time both going to work and coming home. here's the future cast. tomorrow morning, nothing crazy heavy. by 6:30, some showers. there will be heavier activity tomorrow morning west of town. out toward winchester, laray, and i-81. by 8:30, look at the orange and yellow. a good solid line up i-81 toward hagerstown. light activity, but enough to cause roads to be wet and slow you down. look what happens. by 1:00, look at all the

it is 87 in martinsburg, only 82 in leesburg and manassas where the showers are moving through right a very thin line of the showers. basically it's along route 66. look at these dew points back up to the oppressive levels in manassas with the dew point of 70. once you reach that 70-degree level, that is where you consider it so oppressive for your body to cool off when you would have that. so we have system number one, that's the cold front. then system number two, it is what's called short waves that are going to continue to track mostly to the south of the metro area, but that will keep the chance for a few showers and storms in our forecast. as you're waking up to tomorrow morning, still dry, though on the muggy side, that's for sure. you can see the showers and pockets of thunder rotating towards us as we head through the afternoon. the targeted time for that between 4:00 to 8:00 p.m. for the most part. but heading into early tuesday morning, some showers that are still possible. on tuesday, we will continue to see that chance for showers and storms. overnight tonight, partly to

right now it's 83 at andrews. 84 in frederick already. 82 in martinsburg and winchester. and 84 degrees in both orange and luray. on satellite and radar, you can see the cluster of showers that positived through early this morning. this is a 12-hour loop. we're back in the clear but here comes the bigger complex of thunderstorms moving through ohio right now. not all that activity is going to hold together as it makes its way over the mountains, but on 9 futurecast, just in time for dinner or heading home from work, we have some yellow showing up here on the map in southern maryland, yellow indicating the possibility of a thunderstorm there. green is generally a little bit quieter. you just have some showers, maybe a quick burst of heavier rain but most of this is not going to be very significant the way it was yesterday. as we head into the overnight hours, still looking at some rain, possibly a rumble of thunder. 6:00 a.m. friday morning, we're back in the clear but more thunderstorms approaching. you can see that line starting to make its way toward the 81 corridor and

overnight tonight, we'll dip down to 61 in a few spots like martinsburg and hagerstown and frederick.l get down to 64 degrees tonight in manassas and orange as well. so not too terribly bad. a little on the cooler side as you head up into the mountains of course and there's that chance for some fog. a chance for a few showers in ocean city on saturday. highs remaining in the mid- to upper 70s. bethany. so the further north you go the less chance of showers here. 79 degrees on saturday. 78 on sunday. and in the beltway, we have the better chance for showers on saturday as i mentioned before. sunday, a chance for a stray shower as well. 84 degrees on both saturday and sunday. after today's high of 86. in the first alert seven day forecast, a warm and dry day on monday. before the threat for scattered showers and thunderstorms comes back on tuesday and wednesday. a warm front lifting through 679 notice no big surge -- through. notice no big surges in temperatures. thes at or below average for this -- temperatures at or below average for this time of year and that's good news for ac bill

did have cloud cover during the day today and clouds continue to move in from the south. 82 in martinsburgeal hot weather to talk about. we have not seen a very hot summer. we have been on the mild side if not the cooler side of things. few showers down around fredericksburg. most of this not hitting the ground. you notice a storm around virginia beach. big-time storms in the area. severe thunderstorm watch and numerous warnings. all of the showers to the west staying to the west. would not be surprised to see this boundary making its way across the region. maybe a few showers but i think most of us on the dry shower. here we are at 6:00 tonight. about an hour i don't think that will be happening. works its way back to our region. i think these will be well down towards the south if they develop at all. tomorrow morning i think we will see a couple of showers and that is all they will be, light showers. it will be shower activity through the day tomorrow. could be an isolated rumble of thunder. most of this will be shower activity during the afternoon. we will see a lot of clouds on our tu

we could get 3 inches or more in the orange zone and red zone from martinsburg, frederick, hagerstowno westminster and south of there a half inch to about an inch of rain likely, so it's welcome rain. each day this week the day with the greatest chance of rain is tuesday, tomorrow. after that a small chance maybe of a lingering shower wednesday morning and maybe a zero chance of any more rain thursday into sunday going forward. temperatures will be cooler than average. highs tomorrow with that rain, only the upper 70s to around 80. then with the sun back and lower humidity returning on wednesday into the weekend, each day it's going to be just beautiful with low humidity. highs in the low to mid-80s. morning lows comfortable in the 60s, so another extended line of days in a row where we'll have lower humidity and cooler than average weather in august when we're usually sweltering in torrid heat and humidity. not this year. >> how do we luck out? >> i know. >> and what does it mean for winter? >> who knows, we may be paying. or maybe it's warmer. stay tuned. >> thanks a lot. >>> comedi
