We could really use that rain here, but no rain for the next couple of days and a very dry spell shaping up here. One thing you can do, wash that car. You got that right. Get the car washed and dry for another couple of days and it looks like maybe even for most of the next week here as we move on through the next few days and sunshine across the region and temperature, 85 degrees and low humidity after what was another very cool start to the day. Temperatures around the region and 84 frederick and 79 north pa tuxet river and cooler and 78 degrees over toward annapolis. There is the storm team 4 radar and just no rain to talk about anywhere arne our region. The closest area is down to the south down toward florida and you can see the storm bringing high clouds up towards our region and those are not going to affect us at all. They make keep temperatures up a little bit overnight tonight, but that will be about it and all of this because of a dominant area of High Pressure that really is completely dominating from dallas up toward boston and down to the south and the exception is the area of low pressure down toward the south and that wont move our way and neither will these storms and this is the reason why they have the rain out toward california and utah, but these areas of low pressure that have the moisture are moving way to the north and what that means for us is it is going to stay warm and dry for the next week or so. We are going to see some changes later on into the week, but we need the rain and we are three inches below average. One thing of low pressure does for us, cools the temperature, and 53 degrees tomorrow night and 53 in kull pepper and some areas could get down into the upper 40s and some areas did have some areas of fog early this morning, too and high temperatures tomorrow and right back into the 80s and 86 in wash and 86 in washington and i mentioned the nice weather last and 86 friday and 88 on saturday, but notice down to 80 on sunday and thats when a cold front comes through and then well see some bigger changes.
