we will have some northeasterly winds. so this is a cool direction for us this time of the year but not down right told at all. not quite that 88 which is our average high. right now a pair of sixes at reagan national airport. northeasterly winds are blowing at eight miles an hour. temperatures dropped to 59 in baltimore. 57 frederick. leesburg 64 and 62 in quantico. the weather today look at it. pretty nice. partly cloudy. not as sunny as the last couple of days. 82 on friday, tomorrow to kick off the weekend mostly sunny and saturday a pretty nice warmup. ramping things up to 89. saturday on the lookout for a couple of thunderstorms and better chance of getting wet on sunday. high pressure is a fair weather maker and that's the case today but sometimes when they are to our west or one across new york state and new england that will pull in northeasterly winds and that is moisture in the form of clouds to the ocean is slightly cooler weather. thisaway we are facing today. nothing to write home about. folks in the carolina

they have an east/northeasterly wind coming off the ocean. there could be a little bit of a rip current because of the wind flow but overall pretty good shape statewide. our two-degree guarantee of 82 degrees this afternoon. with sunny to partly cloudy skies and i think as megan would put it that is just stinking nice, or stinking cute. >>> 9:02. back to you. >> every morning we start with our top stories. this morning we start with baltimore city federal lawsuit against wells fargo. a u.s. circuit court judge denied wells fargo's motion to dismiss the case. baltimore city is accusing the mortgage giant of unfairly targeting minority borrowers setting them up with loans they say were destined to fail. the just cited new affidavits submitted by the city from former wells fargo employees as being sufficient proof to proceed with this case. the next court date is now scheduled for july 20th. we'll keep you posted. >>> it's a bittersweet day for the people at the john steadman station in baltimore in downtown baltimore. the engine left the statio

but again i mentioned the northeasterly winds. this time of the year it is a slightly cooler direction for us, not really cold but it does help to suppress some humidity and keep the temperatures in check for july. the middle of july high is normally -- today is normally 88. not going to happen. we will enjoy the northeasterly component to the winds. pushing a couple of clouds by. no rain drops, though. we have been rain-free the last several days. not the case yesterday. let me tell you about south carolina, did you hear, rainfall record amount of rainfall, crazy rain. a little recipe across mississippi, georgia and alabama. an then a batch of storms up the middle and upper midwest today. this is helpful for the crops when it doesn't contain hail. it gives them a good drink of water. des moines there will be delays there. travel weather, it is summer. you are coming and going and heading on vacation maybe. let me help you out with the weather forecast. boy, is it going to be hot in dallas, 103. the same for phoenix and vegas. gre

we will thank northeasterly breezes today. that will do it. keeping the bermuda high over bermuda of all places. can you imagine that? the upper level winds are locked up in a pattern where it is stormy over new england and the deep south and we are in the between phase of the giant storm tracks. we have been enjoying dry comfortable weather. here's the case and point, right now 68 dc. patuxent river 71. culpeper 70. north and west martinsburg 62. gaithersburg and frederick this morning in the middle 50s. it was open the window type of weather. we will have that again tonight. tonight a few more clouds sneak in with northeasterly winds but still a delightful day. we will take the temperatures up to the lower 80s. the average is 88. when you have low 80s and low humidity in the middle of july, in my opinion it doesn't get much better. angie has the traffic. >>> good morning, everyone. i have been busy twittering away. i have all the traffic available on-line. oh my goff is my name. hope you can follow me. 95 northbound in virginia. an extra 20

high pressure giving us the north and northeasterly wind. weather system that will slowly start working its way for saturday and then stall south of the area for the weekend. you probably notice there are a few isolated showers and have been trying to set up in the mountains of high spots west to easterly wind and what's called upslope, it allows the clouds and showers to rise. generally dry air across the area. during the overnight period, i'm thinking partly cloudy skies and throughout. and there might be some breaks early tomorrow morning. sunny breaks more towards the east and generally a partly sunny day and looking like a quiet day for tomorrow, too. so here is a look at your forecast. visual forecast, mild conditions. few clouds around. temperature is dropping from the upper 70s to the mid 70s here over the next couple of hours. down to the low 70s by midnight and to start things off, tomorrow, tomorrow morning, it will be warm. 62 to 67. sun is up at 5:52. so looking like a dry day tomorrow. and another day where temperatures will be

that is why we're getting that northeasterly flow with that low moving up to the northeast. as it continues to move away shs we'll get a bit of drying in here for tomorrow. so tomorrow a bit of a break for your wednesday but thursday another front moves on through here with a better chance of rain coming through in the afternoon and again off and on through the day but a better chance through the heat of the day. we'll start to see some drying out by the weekend. timing is everything and that's a good thing for us this time around. sunset today is at 8:28 and a knot east wind shifting to the southeast with a 10 to 15 knot wind. 78 degrees is your bay temperature at thomas point light. today forecast 80 degrees, mostly cloudy and humid with a thunderstorm possible. tonight down to around 66. early thunderstorm possible and the clouds will break. tomorrow again a bit of a break but again, chance of thunder showers around. partly sunny and then for the next five days up to 86 on thursday, 86 on friday. starts to dry out for the weekend. 86 and 86 for both days. overnight low do

we can thank northeasterly winds for flexing its muscle and helping to shove the humidity to the south. look at that humidity. it is only 45%. a nice low reading. as we reach for upper 80s here. closer to the water with the northeasterly winds pushing the cooler temperatures of the ocean on shore, highs will be tempered here. 81 ocean city and 84 lewes, delaware. 72 is the water temperature. warmer here in the chesapeake. temperatures in the bay 79. an your high today at solomon's island is 82. kris sneed is forren if angie and he has the traffic. how's it looking. >> little rough but it is starting to clear. we will start with the water main break. van doren is closed at vine street and will be closed through the morning rush. you can not access eisenhower from van doren. this is causing delay unless the area. moving to 395, slow from the beltway up to seminary road and pentagon to the 14th street bridge. an extra 10 to 15 minutes there. the inner loop live at little river. slow braddock to 66. that's about 15 minutes, but it is starting to clear. should be done with that in the next

so partly sunny tomorrow with the northeasterly wind. friday, northeasterly wind, too. high 83 it will be slightly humid friday, more humid saturday with showers and storms. and coming through the area mainly during the afternoon, sunday right now, the front should be out of here. probably lingering showers in the morning on sunday. but with a front moving out in a drying you on. another chance for showers and maybe a little bit of heat by mid week. wednesday. so the 90s are gone but we have them posted for wednesday of next week. >> thanks, veronica. >>> it ruined many a vacation. in 2007 more than 50,000 people were treated for injuries related to care sxwrg lifting very heavy luggage. >> an article in the july issue of washington woman magazine and on washington woman.com offered a few tips on ways to lug your luggage safely. >> whenossible pack items in a few smaller bags instead of one large one. also, as with any heavy lifting you should bend at the knees and lift luggage with your leg muscles and not with your back and waist. and carry luggage as close to your bo

the thing that will be different today compared to yesterday is that we will have a northeasterly wind trying to push iglyhtcooler air in and a few more cloud cover in patches. other than that i don't think much trouble. 65 is our starting point. it is 58 in baltimore. 62. good morning, southern maryland. the game plan, partly cloudy, refreshingly comfortable with 50s and 60s. this afternoon partly cloudy and nice, lower 80s and tonight partly cloudy and mild, 60s. so kind of the same old same old. air quality in the good category and by lunch a pair of sevens. so nice i hope you can get outside and take your lunch out and enjoy the nice weather while we have it. it is the middle of july and we haven't been flirting with 100- degree heat and humidity and those code red days and what not. they have been absent, too. good news for new england. they are drying out today for a while at least. thunderstorms over my shoulder coming to the central great plains but again we are kind of sandwiched in this beautiful dome of high pressure between a big upper low to our north and all of that activ

the northeasterly wind is helping keep temperatures down. the northerly component is bringing in cooler air. temperatures across the region in the mid-70s, we'll say 72 in oakland. 77 in cumberland and elkins. 72 with the breeze off the water at ocean city. and 75 in dc and in easton. around the metro area, we mentioned the nation's capital. we have the state capital at 73. 76 at bwi marshall and 73 on kent island. again we talked about winds coming from the northeast. as long they're coming from the north and a little off the water, we're getting some moisture, that's helping to add to our cloud cover today. it is a light wind. and it's going to just keep a bit of a refreshing feel in the air. as you look across most of the state, pretty clear as far as the satellite picture shows. hardly any clouds out there. we do have clouds off to the west and then some just along the coastline. what we're keeping an eye on is something marty showed earlier. a system to the west is going to be moving this direction. what it's going to do -- first it's g

a northeasterly flow. the high is up into new england and we are seeing the flow, the clockwise flow of air around it bringing us that colder air. again we will watch clouds building up in the overnight hours. we do have some moisture down to our south, some showers and storms down toward -- out to the carolina coastline and some of those clouds are riding the coastline right on in. we do also have a bit of a disturbance out to the midwest that is trying to make its way in here but the high pressure is pretty solid. we will not see much of that getting into our forecast during the next day or so. we will see some of that influence by saturday into sunday with afternoon chances of thundershowers, but as you see much of this dissipates as it gets closer to the mountains over the ohio valley and into west virginia. so we are not really seeing too much of a problem as a result. but we are going to see warmer temperatures and more humid conditions built in by saturday. the front will start to approach and we wi

low temps in the 60s and winds northeasterly at 5 to 10.doppler 5000 and this is what's on radar right now as we speak, helsyav activity from la plata down to fredericksburg and west and more activity out in the panhandle of west virginia. this is our future scan. going to weaken a little bit, but everybody is going to get a little shower tonight between, say, 8 and 9:00. not as heavy as what we're seeing south of town, though, by any means, and this has been hefty down in st. mary's county and southern sections of charles county. 2 and a half inches of rain last three hours. heavy activity from just south of woodbridge down toward fredericksburg. broken up a little bit. put this into motion. this pushes away and then activity pushing from the east side of 95 to the west side between woodbridge and stafford. a little bit more to go before everything kind of fizzles out later on tonight. look at also to the north and west of us. this is not particularly heavy except between slainsville and down 50. eventually toward cumberland, will cross 68

that will be slowly moving off so we will still have that northeasterly breeze and bringing a little bit of ocean moisture but the real humidity will be coming in as we get on in to the weekend. so for the evening, to begin, it will be partly cloudy. temperatures into the 70s with still very, very comfortable air in on us. tomorrow when you get up and head out, partly cloudy in the morning. once again, a comfortable morning with the temperatures dipping into the low 60s to about 67. begin to notice a bit of the humidity as we get into tomorrow afternoon. nothing too bad. for the wshgsd beach and boating, here is the way it shapes up. i think we will see a slow moving weather front that brings off late day thundershowers going out sailing. and some great sailing weather, though, on saturday because of that wind from the south-southeast. 10 to 15 knots. late in the day, again, keep a weather eye, weather ear peeled for thundershowers. some of those may be lingering out to the beechs. they will be scattered and the beaches also. general lay good weekend coming up. and just for you well,

yesterday, 90 before the front got through here. 83 on the shores of ocean city with a light northeasterly wind today. as far as the bay goes, winds out of the west-northwest at five to 10 knots. waves only a foot. almost bathtublike water temperatures in the upper 70's. 99, record high, set on july 13, 1966. as well as three other times it was tied. this is the most recent. the record low of 55 set back in 1978. and 66 is where we should be. tonight just a little bit cooler than that. especially in our northern and western suburbs. upper 50's to low 60's. just the slightest chance, especially to the south and the dell marvia, of an isolated storm. there's a presence to the front that will push south of the carolinas tomorrow. that will allow for high pressure. the clockwise flow to build in. what's going to happen later this week is that front will re-emerge. that means more humid conditions by wednesday. better chance of maybe a late night thunderstorm as the front will start to move from the great lakes through on thursday. still, it's going to die out before it gets here. a 20% chance

more northeasterly. so that will push in maybe a couple of clouds.nd slightly cooler weather in the lower 80s and upper 70s are forecasted for ocean city tomorrow, 77. what do you say we put the forecast in writing and help you plan the rest of the day and the next seven. it is looking pretty good. today 85. there's a slightly cooler weather tomorrow. a few more clouds. friday back up to 86. over the weekend, we got two things to think about. the hot day is saturday. that's also most likely the rain-free day and sunday scattered thunderstorms and next week in the driver's seat with fantastic weather, 85 and 86 on monday and tuesday. don't change that dial. we are not done yet. the 9 news 9 news at noon continues after this. stay with us. n ( crack of bat, cheering ) not playing with the kids? not on these legs. poor leg circulation. doctor says it's p.a.d. peripheral artery disease? hmmm. more than doubles your risk for a heart attack or stroke. so i hear. better ask your doctor about plavix. plavix can help protect you from a heart attack or stroke.

watch the northeasterly push, could throw some showers off the coast of the delmarva tomorrow afternoonping portions of the metro area with the chance of a shower. this will reinforce some of that cool air but still relatively pleasant, nothing in terms of real heat to be found. yesterday we hit 88 degrees. today it will feel much cooler, only 82. as our two-degree guarantee, mostly sunny and just pleasant. tonight, down to about 59 outside the beltway. could be cooler north and west. low to mid-60s doubt and by the -- downtown and by the bay. tomorrow, chance are a stray shower, near 80. and showers and storms possible late friday and into the weekend as temperatures climb to about 85 on saturday. 82 on sunday. >>> let's check the roads with kim. >> thank you. if you're coming from owings mills, southbound 795 is running smoothly with just a little bit of light volume as you make your way down to the beltway. still dealing with road closures in the counties. marriottsville road remains closed in both directions, between driver road and henrington road at the howard and carroll county l

we had a northeasterly flow which kept us cooler than average. for tonight here is the situation. temperatures dropping down into the mid 60s, under partly cloudy skies. and a few -- by early tomorrow morning, the upper 50s. then tomorrow the winds shift. they become more southwesterly and becomes more hume and i had temperatures climbing into the mid 80s. and 87 degrees here in the district. then we have a chance of seeing some thunderstorms tomorrow afternoon especially west of town. and, in fact, some of them could be on the strong to severe side around martinsburg and areas north and west. then as the evening goes on and as the front sweeps through, that's when we have a chance of storms in the beltway. if you are heading off towards the bay or beach tomorrow, looks like a great day. temperatures in the mid 80s. a little bit cooler out to the beach on saturday. but still very nice. on sunday that's when we have a chance of a shower or storm during the morning hours. so here is the extended forecast. tomorrow 87, more humid and, again, chance of late-day storm. on sunday a chan

the northeasterly wind is what we had yesterday. it took until the afternoon to build up the clouds. so a little nod of the head with norm lewis. hit the two degree guarantee yesterday. i think we'd be stuck in the 70s and overshoot that mark. we'll be close to that. we're looking at temperatures close to 69. the storms have the potential of building in clouds this afternoon that hold the temperature down a tad bit. we are expecting temperatures to warm up over the weekend but that would come with a slight increase in humidity something we haven't had much of this entire summer. we're look at clear to partly cloudy skies. we pull it up to the north and there is a complex system here with big thunderstorms erupting across the northern plains. they've been responsible for some intense hail, golf ball sized hail to baseball sized hail erupting with the storms yesterday. they will probably get active and do the same thing today. otherwise, today we stay dry. the forecast model indicating we have high clouds leading into this great shadi

that's because high pressure is dominating and the high's creating that northeasterly flow which will keep our temperatures in the low 80s today. very comfortable for this time of year. but here's the frontal band. you can see the front is producing some really active weather. we do have a slight risk of severe weather across the, oh, looks like the upper midwest for today. then tomorrow ahead of that frontal band we could see some severe weather across the panhandle of maryland and west virginia so something that we'll have to watch as we head into tomorrow. so, if you're heading out toward the beaches this weekend, let's see, ce tomorrow out toward annapolis and cambridge, it will be a really pretty day with temperatures in the lower to mid-80s. men see of sunshine. again, it will be a bit more humid out there. as we head into sunday, we could have an afternoon shower or thunderstorm. likewise out toward the beaches, temperatures on saturday a little bit cooler, basically around 80 degrees with a mix of sun and clouds. as we head into sunday, a little bit warmer with a chance of a s
