sun. let's take a look at temps around the area. warm but nothing like this weekend. 82 now. the cool spot, there you go, right down on the beach. because the winds have been primarily off the ocean at 72. pax river, the winds off the bay at 78. 84 in cumberland. hagerstown. elkton at 80. locally, temperatures still around the 80-degree mark. as you can see, d.c. at 84. southeast winds become more southerly this weekend. and eventually probably southwest. that's going to transport pretty warm temperatures that are going on. memphis now, 90. 87, detroit. most temperatures down here, around the 90-degree mark. it looks like we'll probably get to about 90, maybe. it all depends if we get a bit of a sea breeze in the afternoon. temperatures may hold to the upper 80s. but it's going to be a humid weekend. nothing like what we've seen so far this swing. it's more typical really of july. 88 now in atlanta. and 86. thunderstorms around new orleans now. and some of those areas. now, down in the southeast of us. watching an area of disturbed weather that could become a tropical depression. sometime this weekend. can't really see too much down there. but it has a little spin with it and thunderstorms with strong gusty winds already. that looks like it's going to actually head down toward the savannah, jacksonville area, where they could probably use the rain. doesn't look like it's going to impact our region at all. for the time being, generally clear skies. over the weekend, a weak front passes to our north. it will bring slightly cooler temps to new england. but we'll stay in the heat and humidity. all weekend long. next front probably won't get to us until tuesday night. and then we'll see thunderstorms and a trend toward cooler temperatures by the middle of next week. but the next three days, it's going to be hot. south winds, 5 to 10 knots. bay temp around 72. tonight, 66. with partly cloudy skies overnight. that's a warm night. 90 degrees tomorrow. at least 85 to 90, with partly sunny skies. humid. chance of shower, only about 5 to 10%. so most areas will stay dry, all weekend long. but a few spots will have an isolated shower this weekend. >> okay. thank you,
