here in d.c., that's for sure. starting off with a look at the michael and son weather cam and we have partly cloudy sky out there right now, which is really a shame because this is the super moon. tonight and again tomorrow night when the moon actually fully turns full. i know we talked about the super moon last month and this is the time when it is as close to earth as it ever gets. this will be the biggest and brightest moon, just unfortunate that we are not going to get the best view we could have. the dew point, 66. there is plenty of humidity in the atmosphere and the wind out of the south at 6 miles per hour isn't gong to help us get rid of that humidity. those sprinkles that are popping through on doppler 9,000 and another is possible until we get past midnight and then it's

sun gnu sky and temperatures in the 60s and 70s. by the afternoon, high temperatures 84 do 89 under partly cloudy sky. a slight chance for a shower. green weather alerts both tomorrow and on monday.

threat for scattered showers and storms. pretty much at any point during the day. in the first alert seven-day forecast, a stray shower still possible, but things are looking pretty good as we head
