breeze today. winds picked up near 30 miles an hour. little gusty. we are awaiting word however tomorrow. looks like the national weather service out of sterling, virginia, may put out a report looking at the high temperatures number from the month of july and it may be that july was the warmest july on record. that would follow on the heels of the warmest in history. 86. not bad. we will take that. we had 21 days out of 31 in july that the temperature was 90 or higher. this is really kind of nice. cooler than average. 88 the average high. 82 today. there it is. the cloud cover it will be with us tomorrow. that will keep temperatures in the low side. actually keeping temperatures from falling too quickly overnight tonight but most locations 70 to 75. a chance of a thunderstorm tomorrow. clear skies tuesday. very nice. but 92. here we go. mid-90s wednesday. mid-90s thursday. looks like the threat for a late day thunderstorm will be with us almost each and every afternoon too. we break down the day like this. cloud cover throughout the first part of the day. 68. that's actually cooler than the average low of 70. some low 60s are out there. and you get into around garrett county and western maryland 50s for an overnight low. no one is going camp out there. hopefully they have a coat. 86. few late day storms. current readings. some areas picked up rainfall today. light in its intensity. a few heavier downpours. 73 baltimore. reagan national. then you gets to around 70 in cumberland and oakland. 61 degrees. i want to show you our titan 9000. a little bit of movement. not much going on. a few sprinkles. looks like one shower making its way up the chesapeake. a nice little downpour in toward anna rundle county. run through the numbers in the forecast for you. live doppler. want to show you this as well. go back to the forecast numbers. those are the ones we want. partly sunny skies. mild temperatures. now, some areas that may have picked up a little bit of light rain. some light patchy fog but winds are light and so fog can develop in the usual spots. but 62 to 59. nice. 60s in the suburbs. then 83 to about 87. late day storms widely scattered. nothing widespread but maybe a good downpour here and there. monsoonal flow out to the west. as we are look at most of the heavier activity with the exception of the peninsula of florida got to go over to the pan handle sliding down into the ohio valley and some sft cloud cover spilling in too. but most of the activity in our region was just here and there as we talk about it. it looks like high pressure which gave us a pretty nice couple of days. cloud cover keeping us mild. we had some dryer air. well, this area of high pressure is going to slide off the coast and park itself for about five days. that means it is just far enough to the east that we will be in this return flow. therefore, humid humidity levels will start to increase. flow out of the south, southerly wind then lose the daytime heating and lose that threat for thunderstorms. so again, midday late in the day is our best chance. but it is not going to have a widespread effect with anything severe like we had a week ago. but highs tomorrow. things are looking pretty good. 86 for the high temperature. 88 average. numbers are a blessing. mainly because of the partly sunny skies. tropics for you

the next 24 hours and could develop into something tropical like the next tropical depression. it does not have a very well defined center core at the surface seeing some areas, the red colors, colder and higher cloud tops and some of the early models want to take it just north of the island and maybe towards south eastern u.s. we will keep an eye on that. if it does develop into a tropical storm the name will be colin. seven-day forecast. chance of late day storms here and there. big story for tomorrow partly sunny skies with us. temperatures slow to rebounds. then the sunlight comes in on tuesday. 92. then the humidity increases wednesday, thursday. maybe the next chance to have pleasant weather will be next weekend. it will be interesting to see if july is going to be the warmest on
