quantico you are the exception with 79-degree reading. you share that with winchester. the game plan today in purcellville 87. also the goal in warrenton and 85 for spotsylvania. if you want your forecast for the next three i'm fine with that. let me step out of the way and show you. more sun tomorrow, 85 and 90 for the hot high on wednesday. the average, right around 88. the winds have been variable but basically speaking the humidity has been kept out of the forecast and down along where the stalled front is across north carolina we have some strong to severe thunderstorms across southeastern virginia last night. and looks like that will be the place where they stay out of reach here. then as we follow the front it bends to the north and west through southern missouri and arkansas. that's for the latest round of thunderstorms is blasting through. around here we have sandwiched between that system and a weak front across the northern adirondacks and new england. up here there is where they will have rain. here partly sunny. in between the systems means the air will be

right now quantico 77. it is 78 in dulles. 79 in the district. today in arlington, 82 and heading back to amissville 80 this afternoon. maybe some mid-80s for king george. 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

notice down in southern marynd, just about a third of mclean, a third in quantico, so some people did get some rain. kind ofplitting it up over the area bit by bit. bigger picture, some numbers outside. 82 in fairfax, frederick at 84. right now 84 in culpepper, 379 in fredricksburg. our numbers as far as the pollen, low for grass and weed, but the mold still in the moderate category. temperatures are fairly simple. this front has been blowing across areas slowly, keeping up with the clouds. obviously cooler temperatures. looking for some sunshine to break through, more scattered storms, especially southeast as this front slowly works its way through. it should be moving out tonight will go partly cloudy. tomorrow, aartly sunny day. we can't really rule out rain completely. but, tomorrow quite isolated. onfifth edging off to the east. our next one building in from the west. maybe a little bit of a lull here. so maybe a dect day. 86-79 this afternoon. as we go to bed time, 78 degrees. wake up tomorrow, right arofrd 70 degrees. looking beyond the future, just a stray storm near 90, and a

over temperatures ranging from 80 in quantico to a cooler 79 in annapolis. 88 in frederick. 81 winchester. martinsburg 82 and manassas 84. when you factor in the humidity the heat index already at 96 in fredericksburg. feeling like 89 in washington and 90 at andrews air force base. a steamy afternoon. here we go. a couple of things to talk about. little feature across nebraska. that's one. the other thing is all of this moisture across arkansas, louisiana and mississippi. the two of those will get closer to us tomorrow and that will help to give us a better chance of showers and thunderstorms than what we are seeing today. the seven-day forecast looks like this. 91 today. a slim chance of a storm. scattered storms tomorrow and 897 by thursday and friday around that 90-degree mark with isolated afternoon thunderstorm. and then over the weekend upper 80s and still a storm possible on sunday and monday. it is travel tuesday. we will have that coming up when 9 news now at noon returns. it's a revolution in pain relief.

cooler in quantico at 82. a bit more in the way of cloud coverage and a couple of gusts from dulles through frederick towards hagerstown. not a big deal. up towards the north, mason dixon line the dewpoints have come down. you can see still quite humid with dewpoints in the low 70s. that's just really humid. north of the front there is much, much drier much more comfortable. as the night goes on the drier air will continue to push southward. all is quiet on digital doppler. earlier thunderstorms south of fredericksburg. 94 down towards rally. memphis, 92. you can see the front right here. the front's actually going to push on off to the south for the next couple of days and then eventually it's going to lift back to the north in the form of a warm front. that won't happen until wednesday. until then, for tomorrow and likewise into tuesday, high pressure coming down from canada the main weather player keeping with us a couple of clouds. mostly sunny to partly cloudy. warmer on wednesday as the front pushes thro

the atmosphere up to 79 degrees and again we will be working to the lower 80s. 81 frederick. 78 quantico and 75 annapolis. this stalled front will be lurking just off shore. it is providing just enough instable in the atmosphere and a southwesterly flow off the gulf of mexico where it is not going to be too hard to get showers to develop this week. in fact, right in to the weekend. so, i can't say any one day will be a washout, but it will be maybe kind of like a florida day where every day there is a chance of a couple of showers and thunderstorms. i want to give you a heads up about that. if you are flying to arkansas, louisiana, maybe new orleans later this afternoon, be prepared for some thunderstorms that might slow you down, might delay your flight. as for numbers around the rest of the country, how we compare in the lower 80s which is cool for our usual high this time of the year. minneapolis 75. 109 phoenix. today in boston, only 68. how about that seven-day forecast. let's talk about it. we will be in the lower to middle 80s today. tomorrow starting to warm up. notice tomorrow a

again, 71 here in the district. 72 at quantico.own into the low 60s in the shenandoah valley, into the 50s and possibly the low fists. dew points in the low 50s. so the air is really dry and comfortable. the dew points have really dropped in the last 24 hours thanks to a cool front across the area. 71 right now locally. 62 out in cincinnati. 65 in chicago. you can see it's pretty cool from the district all the way back into the ohio valley and up towards michigan. all right. so there's the frontal band that came through yesterday. it did bring us a few light rain showers and isolated thunderstorms. now the front is offshore. the big player comes tomorrow, will be this area of higher pressure. it's going to build into the region. we'll see lots of sunshine. it will continue to create that northerly flow which will continue to bring in comfortable weather. then we're going to start to change things up. tomorrow the front slides offshore. as we head into monday and tuesday, a wave of low pressure will start to ride up the frontal band

off to the south, in fact, dewpoints have gone up from quantico down towards charlottesville. we have a front here. south of the front it's still very warm. very humid. dewpoints there are in the low 70s. north of the front there feels much more comfortable, dewpoints in the 50s. 81 in raleigh. 85 in memphis. we have a front right here that's coming down from canada. it's sagging southward. we have a wave of lower pressure riding along that frontal band. tomorrow it's going to stay to the south of us and move across far southern virginia and north carolina, bringing them some showers and thunderstorms. again, central virginia we may see a popup thunderstorm or two. everybody else stays dry as high pressure continues to dominate. over the next couple of days, the front stays to the south. that's where we're going to have the showers, the storms and the active weather. for us high pressure will be the main player. it will bring us a mix of sun and clouds for tomorrow and for tuesday with temperatures in the mi mid-80s. by wednesday the front lifts back up to the north as a warm
