the majority of the shower and thunderstorm activity right now in western virginia and right on the virginia-north carolina border some very heavy showers and thunderstorms. it's all moving on toward the east. looks like the majority of the rain will stay down to the south in the bat mr area but there is a -- baltimore area but there is a chance we could see a few showers break out over baltimore. we've seen showers and thunderstorms moving down through the ohio and mississippi valley. here's the line of showers and thunderstorms trying to get organized and making its way in our direction but again the majority of the heavy rainfall will be down to the south of the baltimore area both today and also tomorrow. but then back here we've got some cooler air that's going to be heading in. we'll see that over the next couple of days. right now nothing showing up on maryland's most powerful radar. no precipitation showing up. later on tonight we could see one or two pop-up showers but again it's very unlikely. so as far as making evening plans, looks like the barbecue grill is going to be okay. 81 in car

a couple sprinkles dotting up into the mountains of west virginia and western pennsylvania.and as we roll on into the afternoon a very distinct frontal boundary to the west, will get active like yesterday. high pressure still in control. we're still pumping in the heat ahead of that front but this front will signify cooler air punching the heat out of here, though this thing will come to a halt and probable put the brakes on across the mid-atlantic and keep the chance of rain around once it builds in here. again, that frontal boundary starting to get more active through this afternoon. downtown baltimore, likely to stay dry at least in the 5:00. after that we may get a spotty shower in here. our two-degree guarantee gets us to 92 degrees. northwest we'll pull back a little, 90 westminster. 91 parkton. they may have a shower starting to pop up, maybe as soon as 4:00 p.m. after that, this evening, and overnight, some spotty showers and storms. much like last night, 72 degrees. and on in through tomorrow we'll drop to about 86 with scattered showers, lingering, again with that
