This is war wick, rhode island. A couple of people had minor injuries. Theyll be fine. It is thought a thunderstorm weeks ago weakened the tree and it doesnt fall. They didnt have any storms today. I never heard of that. It happened all the time. Thats why a lot of our trees in this area will be weakened by one storm and the next storm comes through and takes them on over. Even a small amount of wind. Today, none of that. Look at the high today. 96 in d. C. 97 in frederick and in leesburg. Warrenton at 95 degrees. Only place that did not experience 90degree heat today was annapolis and right along the bay, the bay breeze coming in along the afternoon. Makes it feel pretty nice. And helps produce showers and isolated thunderstorms. Most of those of course baltimore. A very nice evening. 80 degrees. Dew point at 68. Still on the humid side. But if you are to walk outdoors right now, dont do it. I still have 2 1 2 minutes of my forecast. But if you were, it would be quite nice. 76 in martinsburg. And a nice cool spot. And as you move to the rest of the overnight hours, there are a few hours back towards petersburg area. Now you notice moisture starting it move our way. Cloud cover, showers. Just on down to the southwest. This moisture is trying to move our way. Itll move here fairly slowly. Earlier this afternoon i thought most of us would stay dry tomorrow but now a better chance i think after couple showers and storms. Not a lot. Tomorrow, not a washout, dont expect that. But take a look. Tomorrow, 8 00. Nothing going on. Your commute is aokay. Watch around the noon hour. Showers around the mountains. Thats what we talked about earlier today. I think these clouds will keep us cooler tomorrow. Most of us with scattered showers and few storms. These are not big time thunderstorms. There could be locally heavy downpours. Maybe lightning. But they arent very strong as they move on through. Most of them moving across the region. They he could affect your evening rush. Wednesday i think a better chance. Wednesday morning not much. During the afternoon more scattered variety storm during the day wednesday and even a better chance on thursday. High temperatures tomorrow, into the 80s. To around 90 degrees. 90 in fredericksburg, around culpepper. Maybe 90 in d. C. But im going 89 because im an optimistic type of guy. Tomorrow afternoon, exercise, getting warm quickly. If youre going outdoors, maybe thats the cautionary period. If youre out walking the dog, no problem. You may need the umbrella late in the afternoon. As far as temperatures go for the next few days, temperatures go down. 85 on wednesday. 87 thursday. 86 friday. As temperatures drop, rain chances increase. 40 wednesday. 50 chance on thursday, thats i think the best chance as the front moves on through. Right now the weekend looking good. If you are thinking of head together beach one more weekend or to the mountains, both days, saturday and sunday looking okay. A chance after storm on sunday. Excellent. All right, still ahead. Aarp keeping their eye on this one. Dont call it a come back yet. Dont call it a come back yet. Chris coolly talking about a i was about to head to thecheck.
