the deal. a couple of showers popped up west of town, so i'm going to keep the chance of showers and thunderstorms in but primarily west. let me start with live doppler 9000. you could see a shower in hagerstown, winchester, front royal. nothing severe, but they have a little pop to them in terms of rainfall. there is some yellow in there. that's half an inch per hour. a little red just south of romney and just to the northwest of woodstock. now, we'll put these into motion and we'll show you where they're going to go in the next hour. they do kind of weaken and diminish a little bit and move sorted of parallel to i8 -- sort of parallel to i81. might get to frederick. but i think after that, they will just kind of dissipate overnight. that said, in the wake of those storms, we could see some more fog, especially along i81 if you're going out there tomorrow. we're looking at a high of 86. still 73. this is brought to you by michael and son. dew point 67. not as comfortable as it was. winds calm. pressure rising. that's a good sign. 30.10 inches of mercury. we're looking at another cool start, a comfortable start. i'll raise temps a little overnight. patchy fog is possible. i don't think we'll see anything widespread but some patchy fog possible. isolated shower or thunderstorm possible once again. a little better chance south of town and then just warm. not hot. we'll see temperatures again in the mid to possibly upper 80s. but really pretty comfortable. some signs of heating up a little bit late in the week and weekend. overnight partly cloudy, comfortable. showers possible wednesday. winds easterly at 5-10. tomorrow grab your shades. 60s and 70s and winds northeasterly at 5-10. there is not much going on with the winds at all. by afternoon, partly sunny and warm. shower. isolated storm possible. mainly south. high temperatures around 85 and winds easterly at about 5-10. next three days we're going to keep it code green for tomorrow and also for thursday and friday. and why not. 86 tomorrow. isolated storm or shower. 87 on thursday. almost hot friday. highs near 90. just a slight chance, a slight chance of a shower. all right. next seven days, i know this is kind of counterintuitive, but i do have a drop on saturday and a drop on sunday. but i also have the word nice. so not going to be that much of a deal these scattered showers. nothing heavy. nothing long lived. so still a pretty nice weekend. near 90, though, saturday, sunday, monday and tuesday. a little better chance of storms tuesday as a cold front approaches. >> okay. we'll be ready.
