>> good evening folks. talking about rain making the way into the baltimore area. it took all day to get here. i am not complaining. because we saw a lovely day out there. with temperatures in the mid 80s. looking at some sun and clouds. now the clouds have thickened up a bit. and we have a line of showers back to the westover parts of carroll county. starting to make the way over to baltimore county. northern baltimore county. and they are seeing lightning and thunder associated with it
10:37 pm
as well. zoom in closer. westminster getting rainfall. steady. through carroll county. moving into baltimore county. so reisterstown and owings mills will start to get rain and north of cockeysville, probably next half hour to 40 minutes. not a fast-moving line of showers. but definitely there is some lightning associated with it as well. as we have instability out there. in the last hour, looking at the lightning count, 385 strikes. so nice aggressive line. but nothing severe. just average garden variety thunderstorm making watt through the area. timing this, we can look at the composite view here. showing the motion of the storm as it continues to move along the frontal boundary that will continue to push through. stretching anywhere from harrisburg on down. up toward allentown pennsylvania still looking at that rain that will continue to push across pennsylvania. and through maryland. back to the west still remaining showers. so not totally out of the thick of things as we go through late overnight, so do not be surprised to hear rain on the
10:38 pm
roof. one or 2:00 hour. hd skycam downtown. dry conditions right now. clouds thickening up. winds out of the south at five. keeps us on the warm track of things. right now 74 degrees. that humidity level goes up a bit as the moisture builds in with the shower activity off to the west. and we will continue to see the southerly flow again tomorrow. and until the front pushes through late afternoon. and once it pushes through, it will drop our temperatures a bit. as cooler air moves in from the northwest. you can see the front here associated with the system. as it continues to push across the area that systems brings us the showers through the night tonight. and then by tomorrow, maybe a slight chance for a shower. there it is right there. that cell that continues to push off through. and that will continue to give us that chance for a little bit of rumbling of turn and rain over the next hour, hour and a half. as we time this out. future scan shows that activity pushing off to the east. tomorrow, sun and clouds with a chance for maybe a pop-up shower. 20 percent chance. as we get through the afternoon. but, i think, things start to clear up as you can see on the
10:39 pm
model data. clouds thin out later in the day. and i think shape up to be a pretty nice start to the weekend. as we start to get through the next couple of days here. so here is what it looks like for eastern shore. slight chance for a shower. temperatures at 84 degrees. and then for the central portion of the state. temperatures right around 80. and then it looks like only a 20 percent chance for a shower as the front continues to move from the north bringing our temperatures down a bit toward the weekend. and then also start to try out toward saturday. so going with mostly partly to cloudy skies tomorrow. and temperatures around 83 degrees. maybe a brief shower in the mid-morning, to afternoon. and, i think, it will be widely scattered if we get anything. and five-day forecast shows more sunshine on friday. temperatures at 72 degrees. and 68. slightly cooler there as we get on saturday afternoon. with sun and clouds maybe 30 percent chance of a shower. and sunday about 40 percent chance for some showers as well. fox 45 news sky watch weather at your fingertips. i-radar available at foxbaltimore.com.
