evening, there's a weak system passing by to the west producing some rain showers in west virginia and western part of virginia. most of that is going to miss us, and the only thing it will deposit is a little bit of cloud cover overnight, and that will keep the temperatures a little bit warmer. right now, it's really nice, upper 70s and low 80s. the key to our forecast here over the next couple of days will be the wind direction. in the short-term, the winds have historied to the northeast, and -- shifted to the northeast, and that's why we had a mild day today, and we will have another one tomorrow. as soon as the winds turn to the south on saturday, that's when we will start to increase the temperatures and get the humidity a little bit more into the uncomfortable range. the major player in our weather scenario is this big high pressure coming down the east coast, but right now the flow is producing the east and northeast wind. as soon as the high gets parallel with us and moves off even further, the surface wind turn to the south, and we will see the increase in the temperatures, and then

but that's off to the west in west vrng and back into the western part of virginia. we're starting to see a few echoes here, and if you're in southern maryland, you may see a few sprinkles over the next couple of hours, but generally a dry forecast for the rest of the night. upper 70s right now, 73 in winchester, and 77 at dwi. and here's is the key to the for example, the wind direction out of the northeast at 6. as long as the winds stay out of the east and northeast, the temperatures stay below normal. the major weather player will be the high, and we have dry weather in the forecast for the next 24 hours. over the weekend, that changes a little bit. i put a 20 or 30% mark on it for saturday, and maybe up around 50% on sunday. but look, there's no 90 degree temperatures in our seven-day forecast. that hardly ever happens in july, so i think we will stay in the 80s all the way through at least thursday and friday of next week. >> this is great payback for may. let us hope in august, we don't have to pay this back. >> hope we don't go the other direction, it will be
