winchester, cooler at 58. leesburg, 64. district 67, annapolis right now checking in at 66. ok, let's fire up the graphics. yesterday, 85. the afternoon high temperature, the average high is 89. so obviously we were a little cooler. due to the cloud cover that moved in pretty quickly yesterday morning. some higher accumulations within some of the downpour. so here's the composite, notice a little bit of cloud cover left over on the back edge, it's closer to the surface without moving off to the east. that leftover cloud cover will continue to push out and clear out of here. then this afternoon, we'll have patchy, fair weather cumeluss clouds so look forward to. so a very pleasant weekend. we're going to squeeze in a couple of nice days before we get into an unsettled weather pattern. we have our nice days, behind yesterday's low pressure system. northwestly flow pulls in that cooler, dryer, less humid air up from canada and even the upper midwest. it pushes our way and we reap the benefits for it. but the timing is perfect for over the weekend here. now in the next week, tha

winchester 79 and in hagerstown 79. ocean city is 89 right now. most of today will be fine if you're headed down to the beach, but the thunderstorms will get there too by the late evening hours. and here is your satellite radar. waking up with just some clouds. even a little sunshine to start the day. but out to the west, we have this frontal system with an area of low pressure developing off to the south and west and that will ride up and over the washinon area later today. so again, with a very tropical air mass in place and some lift in the atmosphere. we have the makings of some pretty good thunderstorms. at least potential for thunderstorms out there today. and because of that we're under a light risk here in the washington area -- area, for severe weather, for hail and cloud-to-ground lightning. so be on the lookout for it. and the area of low pressure unusual for this time of year but it will move eventually off to the north and east and dragging with it all of that energy. so we'll see showers break out around here by mid to late afternoon

middle 60s in winchester and even 70 culpeper. here's all the sunshine and we will have it awe day long. don't worry. if you are taking today off or if you can sneak out early it would be a great weather day to do it. it is fantastic outside. highs in the middle 80s. a degree or two cooler but when you factor in the fact the humidity is on the low side it is a bottle it up type of weather. tomorrow a seasonable high of 88. thunderstorms by the evening and more likely overnight and scattered thunderstorms and hots weather in time for thursday. angie had to go home early but we have traffic backup, good morning to kris. >> start with an accident 395 northbound in virginia. it is taking away the left lane and causing delays back to the mixing bowl. a half hour right now. i recommend an alternate route if you have one. heading over to 66 eastbound. we are jammed from 50 to 495. a little stop and go. get a break around 123. still about 15 minutes. go to the graphics and check out the district. 13rd street is closed at i street due to a

the 50s in parts of the region, a cool, comfortable start to the day. 55 up in frederick and at winchesterat 59 degrees at this hour. let's take a look at that satellite-radar. want to show you there is not much happening out there. we have high pressure in place across our region. look at the clear skies. you will see a cloud or two here or there but for the most part, skies are clear. any precipitation that is occurring is well to the north. so light precipitation across new england. some precipitation out across the my west and then well down to the south. now, your surface map for today, show that to you later, bright sunshine and a nice afternoon. high about 84 degrees and then your five-day forecast, we're looking at highs tomorrow, clear skies tonight. comfortable temperatures. 64degrees. than your five-day forecast, tomorrow, anothenice day. thursday, 83. friday, 85. how about that? that looks good. saturday and sunday, however, warm and humid. highs will be up around 90 degrees. i think saturday, most of saturday will be dry. but humid and then sunday, 88 and chance of showers and

hagerstown and winchester still in the 70s. winchester is 75 degrees. ocean city, it is mild right now, 84. could be a shower or thunderstorm today but i think most of the weekend, both saturday and sunday, should feature fairly quiet weather with highs in thmid to upper 80s each day. here is a look at our satellite radar. you probably saw the thunder and heard the thunder -- heard the lightning and saw the thunr last night. it's pushing off to the north and east. see the cloud cover back into west virginia and western maryland, some of that will sneak in here. we won't have a perfectly sunny afternoon. and as this moved through, this upper level energy, we could see a few more showers or thunderstorms get kicked up in the atmosphere. so we can't rule out the possibility of a scattered shore or thunderstorm late this afternoon and during the evening hours. once we get this out of here, it will be quieter for saturday. it will be hot. by tomorrow afternoon the temperatures will be in the low 90s. this afternoon, bankrupt -- partly cloudy skies and on the

the numbers show refreshing 60s and even 50s in winchester. 70 dc. 72 fredericksburg. we really span all the temperatures we could for this time of the year. the satellite-radar loop. plenty of sunshine today. partly cloudy later in the afternoon. wow, our highs today going to warm up to 85. air quality is yellow, which is moderate. i have the forecast that looks in to the weekend when i see you next. >> good morning, everyone. ready to kick off the 5:00 hour. happy wednesday to everybody out there. 270 live from 121 not tracking the delay yet. it usually starts around 109 area. 95 and bw parkway, clear to powder mill and beyond. moving in to northeast dc. right now no delays to report on inbound new york avenue between the times building and bladensburg road. 395 northbound is looking great. shot past duke street to the 14th street bridge. the volume is light. to wrap it up, 95 northbound in virginia past backlick to the mixing bowl lanes are wide open. over to you. >>> tomorrow dc councilman marion barry is scheduled to appear in court over his arrest in though stalk

and in winchester, virginia, they are down to 65, and were 90 today. and that's a difference of temperature spread, and looks like a pleasant evening. the official high is 88 at reagan national, and that's right on the money, for this 13th day of july. the record was 100 in 1954. and look at the pollens, and i expect this number to go down, as we continue to see dry weather. no rain and down 2-1/2 inches and that grass pollen is squashed down. and there is active weather in the carolinas and off to the west, and in fredericksburg, with a high pressure over night and with a pleasant morning. and tomorrow when you wake up, some in the 50's and 60's downtown. 86 is your high. and wednesday warmer, and touch of humidity and scatter thunder bombers, on wednesday, and some storms you see on the maps. no real rain makers. >> ok, we will take that. a break from the script during president obama's speech this afternoon. >> tonight on nightline a shocking story of a murder that left 16 children orphaned. and check this out. >> our economy -- oh, goodness. >> and

at 81 degrees fairfax and fredericksburg, 79 winchester, 80 degrees frederick. delightful evening, cooler weather up in pennsylvania the continued trajectory of air moving of the great lakes has the pattern which has effectively cut off the flow of hot stuff into our area. it is like squeezing toothpaste out of the tube. the get a little bit out, and that is how the warm air has been coming. every time it comes, it gets cut off by the jet stream. that pattern has been repeating, repeating, kind of like me. there we go with the clouds. that is all we have. storms off to the south and west because the high pressure is building into the atmosphere, keeping us cool and dry. tomorrow and high. -- tomorrow and friday, the wind takes on an easterly flavor keeping the school. fa amount of sun tomorrow, more clouds friday. for the weekend, the wind turns out of the southwest, bringing heat and humidity, upper 80's. the cold front likely to bring evening time thunderstorms. beyond that, sunday and monday, it will depend on how far south and east the front goes. 54-64 in t

in winchester, we're at 70 degrees at this hour. a look at the satellite-radar picture for our area. you can see some of of the clouds that are around. i think we'll have a fair a sunshine during the morning hours but as the day progresses, certainly expect those clouds to continue to thicken up. out to the west, this is the rain activity that is associated with a cold front. a lot of it is tracking to the north right now so no big concerns about morning precipitation. some of our views are to the north and west, you might see a shower this morning. as this progresses through, we'll get an increased chance of shower activity during the afternoon and nightti hours. so the forecast for today looks like this. some morning sunshine but then plenty of clouds developing. a 60% chance of scattered afternoon showers and thunderstorms. high again today, i won't say again but high today near 90 degrees. then for tonight, mostly cloudy skies, chance of some continuing scattered showers and thunderstorms particularly during the evening, mainly

winchester and culpeper down to 59. 63. fredericksburg 66.ow pressure pulling through new england. we have this moisture keeping things unsettled there. the next system to the west to western tennessee with moisture in to indiana. this will afc us more tomorrow. in between the two systems no real kicker. that's why today an isolated thunderstorm but as that gets closer a better chance of thunderstorms especially in the afternoon and evening. let's look at the seven-day forecast. taking you through the weekend. 87 this afternoon. thursday, tomorrow, will be in the mid-80s an maybe even cooler than that if we get enough cloud cover earlier in the day. by friday we dry out. saturday hot, mainly dry and 92. sunday and a chance of thunderstorms still warm with a chance of an isolate thunderstorm possible. >>> 13 before the hour. good morning, angie. >> that's right. 7:00, so close. we will help you get there. let's start with a fly of 95 northbound where we have a bit of congestion. looking at 16 minutes from the prince william parkway to lorton.

current temperatures range from 70 in winchester, to still 90 at national airport. 89 at bwi. it's a little muggy outside. a cold front will be approaching during the day tomorrow. that will be the trigger mechanism for the storms in the afternoon on sunday. as soon as that goes by in the evening, things should clear up and i think the monday morning commute will be just fine. but just about every day next week, we'll put a chance for a thunderstorm in the forecast. hit-and-miss storms. the temperatures will be closer to where they should be this time of year, upper 80s to around 90. so a very typical d.c. summer forecast for next week. >> thank you, tony. appreciate. >>> three bald eagles back in their natural happy tat. tonight they were released by the wildlife of virginia. one of them was destroyed, another had punctured knees. >> i don't know if i want to stand right there whether they release them. i would give them -- >> give them a little room. >>> we have nats info. >> yes, an unfortunately, it may not be the best nats info. would one of the family's positives be slip

west 79 at wynn winchester.his cool pattern persisting on the east coast just about everywhere. 78 in atlanta. that far south in the 70s. only 69 in chicago. but as is typically the case when one part of the country is cool the other part is hot. the west coast is baking. 93 degrees in boise and 113 at the top of the hour in phoenix. we are watching a little disturbance dropping down in the upper levels of the atmosphere out of the great lakes and moisture coming up from the gulf of mexico. those two systems will combine to give us a chance for a couple of showers on monday and tuesday. same pattern will persist with little ripples in the jet stream giving us a chance for a shower or thunderstorm. but the temperatures rather mild for this time of year. low 80s on monday and tuesday with a 30% chance for a shower and thunderstorm. gets warmer on wednesday and thursday but still below the seasonal norm and again 30% chance for some rain both those days. we will get into the upper 80s at the end of the week on frid
