so, we're looking at this storm is going to roll through middletown and frederick and myersville ands storm, this has hail in it. just to the south of sharpesburg and hail also in this part of the storm and this is going to move off toward lovetsville and into north western montgomery county. you know that okay, i'm in north western montgomery county, i could get a big storm here in the next hour or so. so, it certainly has some heavy rain. there's no doubt about that. we're looking at rain fall rates 1 to 2 inches per hour and this is a storm we'll concentrate on. moving to the southeast at 18 miles per hour and here are some of the areas it might impact or it will impact. pleasant valley at 6:30. pine hill estates at 6:37. so if you're down in this area, you have time to actually go out and put your umbrella down, if you put your umbrella up and if you hear thunder, you can be struck by lightning. you need to get away from these storms as well. the warnings continue until 6:45. we will keep you posted. we are looking at hail with that one storm, that's pretty much a given. the rest

some severe thunderstorm warnings that got posted in parts of frederick county and not to far from middletownlestown and on through washington, frederick and jefferson county and to the southeast, gusty winds, the usual and with some severe thunderstorm warnings. the one-inch hail from stevens city and that is not far from the winchester area and those are not widespread and get you in tighter as you can see the communities in the vipir system and this is affecting sharps bug and that cleared out of shepherdstown and to harper's ferry, a little of that and where we so some brighter colors, the hail and some of the storms not here are capable of producing hail to some sizes of quarters, winds between 40, 50, and 60 miles an hour and so let's go ahead and show you some of the weather maps here. i want you to see that as we put this in motion, not everybody is getting those thunderstorms and -- and we hope as they get closer to the area, they're going to fizzle out and take the energy away. because it's been warmer, that is why we're seeing the activity and we'll have to continue to monitor. the

me talk about the mild temperatures close to 70 right now in edgemere. 67 to be exact and 61 in middletown and 63 degrees in hanover. and as you step out the door this morning you don't need the coats but you need the rain gear. i will show you that in a second. but winds will be on the light side stagnant with the humidity. a humid day on tap. the radar is dry right now but take the rain gear with you because going into the afternoon showers and thunderstorms possible to pop up in the forecast. and that will continue even as we go through the next several days here. so again we are pushing the repeat button and like we saw yesterday around 7, we did get rainfall across the area. and once again for today, moo of the -- more of the same. let's take it hour by hour for today. by 8 a.m., temperatures right around 69 degrees. 75 degrees by lunchtime for today. and if we get a few peeks of sunshine, like we did yesterday, we could hear a rumble of thunder but today right around 78 degrees and more sunshine means temperatures closer to 80. and let's check of the abc timesaver traffic with lauren

laurel at 65 degrees, more 65s in chestertown and also middletown and goldsboro manufacture the same. waiting for the cold front the slice through the area. once it does high pressure will move in here and another cold front bringing some showers and thunderstorms to the forecast for tomorrow. and you can see it here on future trend, this is what i was talking about say around 2:00 and beyond, that's when we'll be seeing some thunderstorms and they could be on severe side. all right now a check now of the abc2 timesaver traffic with lauren. >>> good morning lynette. we have an accident in harford county to tell you about but first i would also like to wish daniel scott a happy birthday. very happy birthday. 21 always a good one. and another birthday greeting to our morning show producer, wanita powell whose birthday is tomorrow. she's off so we definitely wanted to wish her a very happy birthday and have a great day. getting back to the accident in harford county it continues to shut down route 161 at castleton road. the accident has cleared but there are fallen power lines in the are

basically 60s all across the board and look at the low 60s in centerville, chestertown and middletownse to the mid-6 os -- 60s. that's what we are -- 60s. that's what we are dealing with this morning and temperatures more seasonable this afternoon. we have the winds. a little on the breezy side out of the south at 5 to 10 miles per hour. this is the rape fall pushing in through the morning and afternoon. the heaviest stuff tomorrow morning the commute will be on the dicey side slow. and we work into wednesday, we will be seeing some more showers possibly in the morning and then we clear out nicely behind that. so it looks like good timing once again as we head towards your weekend. 73 is for today where whoa should be for this time of the year. feeling more like summertime with the humidity out there. but look at the game day forecast. heading to the game tonight, could be a little dicey out there. but scattered in nature. temperatures coming in around 68 degrees. winds out of the southeast at 5 to 10 miles an hour and here's 7-day forecast as we will get into the 80s heading into the

middletown coming in right around 65 degrees. now, we do have some patchy fog to talk about this morning. once again we had it yesterday, we only have about seven miles reduced visibility in baltimore, five in fredrick, three in york and also hagerstown and five in winchester. watch out culpepper you have a big goose egg there if that's where you're traveling to this morning. future trend picking up on not a whole lot. i'm going to put it into motion and you can see that cold front that's going to work its way through. that's why we have the chance for some showers is and some thunderstorms to pop up just in time for your commute home. but lots of sunshine will return as we head into tomorrow and also friday and this will continue even as we go into the weekend. so if you're heading out to the preakness, black eyed susan day looks stellar. 85 degree ss what i'm going with today. we have that sun/cloud mix, that scattered shower or storm. also it's going to be a little bit humid out there. tonight that temperature coming in at 55

already cooling down in middletown right around 56 degrees. and 68 in edge mere right now. 66 in goldsboro. and also centreville. so it's going to turn out to be a nice day on tap and the reason why is high pressure is going to do its thing. just briefly though. that's why i say hurry up and get out there and enjoy the bay because another cold front that's going to move through and that's going to be bringing us some stormy conditions tomorrow afternoon. tomorrow evening. and this is the line of showers and thunderstorms beginning to work its way in here as we go into the afternoon. and it will linger possibly into saturday morning some showers in the forecast. and then high pressure builds back in briefly as we go into saturday afternoon but that is what i'm going with today. 84 pleasant warm. nice, you jective and that's what it will be for today. let's get a check now of the abc2 timesaver traffic with lauren. good morning. it looks good in my forecast but the roads not so much. >>> not so clear up in northern harford county where a crash h
