Im Investigative Reporter russ ptacek. Helping you plan your day, wusa9 first alert weather. I believe i speak for many of us when i say i hate these meses to pieces. We have a very nice forecast tomorrow. Things turn more unsettled in the second half of the weekend, but at least theres plenty of time to get outside the next 24 to 36 hours. Lets start with a live look outside, our live michael and son weather cam, a beautiful short as the sun gets lower in the sky there, gem shot as the sun gets lower in the sky there, the jefferson memorial. Dew point 64 fairly comfortable, could be much worse in the d. C. Metro area this time of year. Were accustomed to having dew points in the 70s and the sticky atmosphere. That is not the case tonight. Right now its 81 degrees in frederick, 84 in martinsburg, 86 in leesburg, 83 in la plata, 86 in fredericksburg. On satellite and radar you can see where were dry today, just a couple sprinkles developed west of the beltway, nothing big. It was a very calm day for most of us especially when you compare it to yesterday, the flooding rain and a big mess. As we look at 9 futurecast heading into saturday morning, just a few clouds drifting through, should be a calm morning and the winds remain light as well. A few thunderstorms will develop west of the blue ridge as we head into the afternoon saturday and maybe a stray storm passing through the immediate beltway area going into saturday afternoon and evening. Its sunday that looks more unsettled. You can see it here on 9 futurecast. The initial line of thunderstorms started to push through as we head into midafternoon sunday. A stronger line of thunderstorms that could produce some Severe Weather arrives monday. So sunday a little bit unsettled heading back to work. Thats when things really unfortunately get nasty. Overnight tonight just partly cloudy skies, not as muggy, 63 to 70. The good with that, the lower amount of moisture in the air means youll get a good view of that supermoon. Its a full moon. Its as close to the earth as it ever gets. It wont look bigger, but it will look clearer and brighter than your full moon usually does. On saturday morning well have a nice pleasant start because of the lower humidity, 60s and 70s under partly sunny skies. By afternoon just an isolated thunderstorm possible, a seasonably warm afternoon with highs between 85 and 90 degrees. I think youll be able to get outside and enjoy it. Sunday its starting to get more uncomfortable, 92 degrees for the high, an isolated thunderstorm possible, especially as we head into the Late Afternoon and early evening. Most of us will stay dry this weekend. Its as we head into the workweek that well really get unsettled. That cold front as it moves through monday could produce maybe some severe thunderstorms and that possibility stays with us tuesday as well. Notice highs are still in the 90s tuesday, but after the front moves out beautiful weather returns for the middle of the workweek. Right now our Washington Nationals are atop their division. Despite that one recent study says the nationfans have stellar relationship. In todays inside pitch we had Holden Kushner find out what nationals fans thought about their relationship with the team. Reporter this study right here from Emory University says that being a nats fan is akin to being in a miserable marriage. Im happily married, but i decided to look for some married people and ask them what their relationship is with their spouses and with the nats. Look, nats fans are happy. Its a calm relationship. I dont think miserable is the right word. I think im comfortable occasionally, a little disappointed, but we love it. The study is saying being a in the fan is like being in a miserable marriage. I think thats completely bogus. Reporter both of them look like theyre in a completely happy stable relationship, but i bet deal down youre miserable. Only when the nats lose. Reporter are you in a miserable marriage . No. We love each other, great marriage, fantastic. Reporter you wouldnt know what a miserable marriage is. Maybe you are in a miserable marriage with the nats. It does seem like you guys are in a bit of a miserable marriage, though. Is that true or false . Were newlyweds, man. Things are all right. Reporter just wait. Well, i havent had to go to the couch yet, so i think thats a good start. Reporter take that, Emory University study. Nats fans are in a happy warm loving relationship, not a miserable marriage. For wusa9 sports im Holden Kushner. The emery study is based on how attendance changes based on team record and ticket prices as well as fan sentiment on twitter the past two years.
