and with that there could be showers and thunderstorms in some spots, especially out of the south- southwest wind and this is what is changing. the area of high pressure is off the coast now to allow the weak front to get closer and squeeze out the showers and storms. the problem is the front is not moving fast and in fact, it could just bog down over the mid-atlantic the next few days and so that is why we can't eliminate a shower or thunderstorm for the forecast e next few days. just the scattered variety and feeling humid and more of a classic july feel is feel to the day tomorrow. we'll show you a few clouds around in the overnight hours and maybe, we watched scaered showers in the afternoon. can't rule them out in the morning as well. most of friday, we wait until the afternoon to find hit-or- miss showers and storms and saturday for the most part, looking good at this point and 8 a.m. tomorrow, mostly sunny, 70 degrees by noon, 82 degrees and under partly cloudy skies and if we're going to see showers tomorrow, most likely -- likely they would hold off until later in the day. can't eli

tomorrow, more of a south/southwest wind. more water late in the day. night, look at the cloud cover. just a few high, thin clouds. up across western maryland. and across to the city. you'll see these high, thin clouds. about 35,000, 40,000 feet up there. out to the west, showers and thunderstorms. kansas, minnesota, dakotas. lots of activity up there. most of this will head to our north/northwest. but extending from the southeast into indiana. a warm front. that is going to bring us increased humidity. late tomorrow night. maybe after midnight. may see a pop-up shower or thundershower after midnight. by thursday, we should be in the more humid air. it's going to be pretty warm. maybe into the mid- to upper 80s in the next couple of days. it will be warmer. more humid. and when you get those two together, you have a risk of scattered thundershowers developing. same will probably hold true on friday. even into the weekend. that front out to the west is going to get hung up across the mid-atlantic region. we probably expect a little low pressure to roll a

south-southwest winds 8-10. and again, humidity up again just a little bit.a little earlier i mentioned el nino has taken hold. warmer waters in the eastern pacific warmer than usual. that changes the weather patterns and what happens during the summer time generally in an el nino situation is caribbean tends to be a little on the dry side and we haven't seen much in the attempt of -- so it may be the el nino and the wind currents that it produces kind of suppressing that hurricane potential down to the south. also tends to be a little wetter in the great basin area of the west we haven't seen much of that right now but nonetheless looks like el nino is starting and will be right with us during the current months. here's what our future cast looks like so rain chances increase for scattered storms overnight and we dry out for a little bit but the front will be south of us. so maybe an isolated shower or thundershower. monday looks dry but as we go into monday inc. yet another weather system goes in and the rain chances go up again. so our seven-day forecast l

will begin to see hot -- the humidity beginning to come in and as our winds turn more into the south and southwest. and there are some showers. we have beenretty dry. i think as we enter thursday morning especially the chance of a few showers, we may see a few more pop up during the afternoon, too. then we will be back to sunshine. little bit more humid sunshine. as we get on into friday. meantime, for the remainder of the evening, it is just wonderful. clear skies. delightful. our sunset, losing a little bit of sunlight each and every day. temperatures only around 80 degrees into the 70s. once again, another great evening for a little outdoor barbecue or dining al fresco. tomorrow 50s to mid 60s tomorrow morning. another fine day. more in the way of cloudiness. uv index high. it will be code orange tomorrow. there may be a bit of light winds with a bit of pollution building up. temperatures in the high 80s to 90 degrees. tell you more about the week ahead later. back to you. >> bob, thanks for the good news. the results are in. and the closest golden local debate yet voters on nbcwashington.com h

south to southwest winds blowing at six miles an hour and the humidity is 81%. ttle bit of a squeeze play going on. we have activity far to our south. stays our of reach. this front that will be approaching us and it has a couple of showers but the main core to stir the showers up is that big low. it is still spinning over the eastern great lakes. it hasn't changed. so that's going to spin showers closer to that front but i think those showers will stay out of reach. this weather pattern across new england, i'm getting married next month, has been terrible. it has been raining all the time. hopefully we will get that pattern lift in but it has been a benefit to us. it is keeping us comfortable with low humidity. we will see that again today. put the forecast in writing and show you the satellite-radar loop. ensures we are ready to go. low humidity, i'll take it. here's the seven-day forecast, everyone. middle 80s today. by thursday a little cooler, 81. clouds on the increase with that front nearby. i don't think we will have enough dynamic to get the showers, but

large area of high pressure building, winds shifting in the south/southwest.ring in heat and increased humidity. in fact, looks like an oppressively hum day on saturday, highs near 90 degrees. a few clouds in and out. and then on sunday, mostly cloudy, weak low pressure coming through may bring us some passing showers so it should be a bit cooler but still a rather steamy day. then drying out a bit first part of next week and no big heat wave on the way. that is the way it looks this morning. >> thank you, tom. >> count our blessings. thanks very much, tom. >>> let's go to jerry edwards, take another look at the roadways out there. problems being cleared up on 66, jerry? >> absolutely. good morning. as a matter of fact, show you a live picture of the improving news along interstate 66 westbound out in manassas. the accident which involved that tractor-trailer and another vehicle completely over to the shoulder, lanes open westbound. eastbound picking up some volume now as you begin the commute out of haymarket. but eastbound no troubles reported. let's see wha

the big heat down to the south and southwest again. 100 to 104 degrees. llas to phoenix right now, phoenix, arizona. so we have an old stalled out weather front south of the area. that will continue moving away. high pressure giving us the north and northeasterly wind. a 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 th
