light rain. nothing dramatic. no scores on thursday. complicated system. a lot of things you see the big thing, the map. weather moves west to east so you think it's no, it's not. alison: what about tonight? doug: not much happening at all. we are in the d.c. split where the weather action stays north and south. we talk about it on the noon news. that is holding true. there is a chance of isolated storm in net met area. better chance is well north and south and west. we'll show it to you on doppler radar. let's start. if i could read it would be better. from winston churchill high school in potomac. next to it you can see the banner and then the moon disappears. clouds and haze move in briefly. through the day it was cloudy. in the afternoon in the heat of the day, the air overhead is dry and stable. that is why we are getting the fair weather clouds, the cumulus clouds. they are more flat than vertical. when you see that, stop you in your tracks. no storm develop out of the clouds. plain and simple. however a little bit more north the weather is different in the this is a zone where not much is happening and not much may happen locally. we'll continue to monitor the storms as the watch remains in effect until 9:00 tonight. the temperatures are gorgeous in the low to mid-80's across the region today. with the temperatures and the sunshine and the breeze making it feel like early june around the area. 85 in washington. to contrast what is happening one of the producers john malone and his wife's cousin lives in vermont and sent us a picture today. this is what was happening in v.a.t. this afternoon. farther enough north on the forth side of the severe weather. cold air, enough to produce snowstorms for them. you can see on the satellite and the radar, there is burlington, vermont. all of that is the cold air here that is pushing this far south. we have warm air overhead. on the boundary between the much cooler air north and the mid-80's. that is why we find this zone of storms farther south and west across high school, west virginia, western virginia we have showers and storms. in the metro keep an eye on this line here, developing across southwestern pennsylvania to state college. if the showers and the storms hold together in the next few hours it is possible. one of the computer models picks up on this. it may be late tonight or overnight. stray showers or isolated rumble of thunder could roll through. for the moment it's northeast and southwest from metro washington. so things are quiet for the next couple of hours outdoors. that bodes well for the nationals coming home to set up a series against the phillies tonight at the park. right now a heavy thunderstorm cluster moving out of harrisburg. that moves to northern delaware. wilmington and south of philadelphia. things will stay quiet for a little while here. the future cast picks up on some of the nuances that you can't see by looking at the sky. you see them from the computer models. the analysis of what is happening in the atmosphere. it makes sense. we get through the late night and the overnight hours we might see showers survive a trip from the west. might see a shower and rumble of thunder south of the city through the early morning. take see how it plays out tomorrow. this model showing a passing shower in the morning. that is in the forecast. most of the action pushes south. thursday more showers will move overhead. thursday may be an old fashioned rainy day around the area. here is the forecast tomorrow. cloudy. lower 60's. we'll see chances of showers tomorrow, rain, likely thursday. we will whittle away at the drought conditions. alison: that is true. thank you. doug: okay. alison: still ahead right here -- a car reported

and what is the best part about being a meteorologist? doug the best part of being a meteorologist is being able to talk to great kids like you and being part of this and hanging out with my friends every night. but back to the first question about the winds, i will do everybody a favor. i could take 25 minutes to explain this. we reduce this to bullet points. how is wind created? i answered the best part about being a meteorolo learn in school the sun heats the earth. most of the earth is water. water heats much more slowly than the land does. so because it is different heating across the earth, the different heating part of the globe causes differences in air pressure and that sets the air in motion. so it is all about the sun. the sun generates the wind when you boil it all down. that is the answer. i appreciate the question. we look forward to the next episode of lunch box weather. leon: all this time i thought it was mexican food. doug: sometimes it is. [laughter] you notice all the pink has gone out of maryland. all of maryland has been dropped from the severe thunderstorm watch. now it's pennsylvania, the eastern shore of maryland. they haven't seceded yet. with the western shore, life-long marylander i can tell you that. game tonight at nats park. a chance overnight that there could be a an isolated shower but that is it. quiet weather pattern with a few showers now an then. we need rain in the next few days. we will get some. erin: hopefully we don't get it for the nationals game. leon: she already introduced herself. erin: what the heck? i didn't expect you to say that. oaf oaf and crosby are meet -- ovechkin and crosby are meeting again. it seems they should have met more than they have but it hasn't happened. in 2009 and the series ocho finished with 14 -- over ove finished with 14 points. and crosby with 13. two guys on the cap played with both and they compared them today. >> what is remarkable is how consistent they are. how competitive they are on a consistent basis regardless of who they are playing. vic said that -- having said that, they both have the ability to elevate the game in >> probably competitiveness. people are right when they say they are polar opposites. especially off the ice. they are completely different guys. erin: capitals head coach barry trotz had interesting thought on the matchup. hear what he has to say at 6:00. the schedule is finally out, folks for the capitals and the penguins for round two. we are waiting. game one is verizon center at 8:00 on thursday. game two is saturday. also at verizon. the puck drops at 8:00 for that as well. then it looks like the caps will travel to pittsburgh for game three on monday followed by game four on wednesday. never a dull moment when the dallas mavericks owner mark cuban opens his mouth. last night he said kevin durant was the only superstar on the oklahoma city thunder which means he doesn't respect russell westbrook at all. last night k.d. and westbrook were asked about the cuban comments and durant said i'll take it from here. >> he is an idiot. don't listen to -- he's an idiot. that is what we got to say about that. he is an idiot. next question. erin: i love it. that is what you call having your teammate's back. leon: i guess he will never play for dallas. erin: i thought the same thing. i thought the same thing to the producer. i guess he is not going to the mavericks. alison: crazier things have happened. leon: up next the new message that the uber riders could get down the alison: one of the great things about uber is you don't have to tip. but it might change because of two lawsuits that settled. transportation reporter brianne carter explains. >> i think uber because of the convenience. brianne: uber lets you get where you need to go without worrying about having cash. some drivers are concerned this app doesn't make it fear the fare you pay doesn't include a tip. >> i didn't know that was deal. brianne: under a settlement reached uber will need to clarify the tipping policy to riders and the drivers. uber says there is no need to tip the "wall street journal" reports it's part of a settlement, drivers will solicit tips. >> right now you may notice when you get in uber there are no signs. but soon there could be a sign like this. clarifying the tipping policy. by unlike their competitor lyft there is no way to add a tip to the app. you have to have cash. >> i never carry cash. i don't have any cash in my wallet right now. it may hurt them. brianne: we asked riders if they want to manage money the next time they are in the back of an uber ride. >> you ride uber so you don't have to have cash. this is supposed to be a cashless system. brianne: the settlement still needs to be approved by a abc7 news. alison: that is all for us at 5:00. but right now at 6:00 we are monitoring potential storms this evening. announcer: now, "abc7 news at 6:00". on your side. leon: we are on storm watch tonight as we monitor the potential for storms moving in. maureen: there is a severe thunderstorm watch to areas north. we wonder what we can expect tonight. leon: chief meteorologist doug hill tracking the severe weather alert. how does it stand? doug: looking good like it has been all afternoon. in the past 20 minutes or so the national weather service dropped all of our part of maryland. frederick and washington counties. maryland that were under the watch. they have dropped that. they dropped baltimore county as well. all the action east and northeast and it will continue in the everything hours. 9:00 is the expiration time for the severe thunderstorm watch. 84 degrees. partly sunny in washington. delightful afternoon. anywhere in the metro area in the next few hours outside you will be fine. maybe, maybe we will see the point of an isolated shower. one of the things we have been watching in the everything is the computer modeling. suggesting that late tonight and the overnight hours one or two left over showers or the isolated rumble of thunder could come through the metro area. so far today everything is split north and east. off to the south and west. all the action moving across new jersey. then passing south. we have been watching the area s pittsburgh and northeast this afternoon looking at the action trying to form up. moves east of the mountain and get to the dry air the showers dissipate. for now things look good. there could be isolated shower or storm late tonight or overnight. but again the best chances of any rain or storms will be well northeast. well southwest. we have a closeup look at the radar and the forecast ahead for the next several days in a couple of minutes. that is the latest. leon: you got it. mobiletrak7 tracking the storms path and keeping an eye on the roads in frederick as rain moves our way. we will check bac
