it to make it past westminster toward park ton and continue past the city. after it goes on by, then we're looking at a clearing pattern for the rest of the day, but right now, westminster you will see showers, down toward liberty town you will see the same showers. showers continue to progress to the east and we're going to see them right on past, and you get the idea, down the 140 corridor, the 70 corridor, everyone going to see that over the next few hours or so. right here after it's gone, it's gone. and as don mentioned, tomorrow's forecast looks really, really nice. so here is how it shapes up: looking at 68 right now, temperatures at bwi marshal, we have to hold tight around this temperature, clouds somewhat insulating us. the front will push through and things will stabilize and cool down for tomorrow. 65 is our dew point, relative humidity at the 0%, winds from the west at 5 miles per hour. 29.74 and steady as your barometer reading.

across the state 52 in oakland, 68 in cumberland, 80 in ocean city. you see a disparity where the front has not affected weather versus where it has. cool down to the winston-salemment warm where the winds have been coming in from the southwest over the last day or so. we got to the low 80s area wide. 68 in columbia, and at the airport, 67 in bel air and westminster. kent island checking in at 73. wind from the west will dry us out until the front gets here. the front will push through and then it starts to dry us out on the back edge. the only difference in that westerly wind is the front that's in between right now. but the winds are going to pick up for a short bit and then the front moves on by. as the prison pushes through we will see again a bit of a change over. today staying around the 70-degree range. tomorrow in 60s as a result. 46 tonight, and then tomorrow, not a cloud in the sky, sunshine seasonably cool, 69 degrees our

daytime high. the normal high is 69 degrees. and the only thing i'd say today just early on if you can avoid being outside for the next hour, which i guess a lot of runners really can't, i guess they're starting to l ace up, they have a good hour or two. maybe out run the shower. >> it might feel good in the humidity. >> it really could. still ahead on eyewitness news, saturday morning, the tsunami damage, as it runs through american samoa. hole in one an eight-year-old boy accomplishes every golfer's dream days after brain surgery. first here are last night's lottery numbers. he would get to the mega million numbers in a minute. we hope you had some good luck.

thing. and i think it was cool that i got to go see it. >> reporter: a ones in a lifetime event that scientists say could allow for astronauts or even communities to survive on the moon. >> if there is water found on the moon, that will lead to more questions like is there life on the moon and where did that water come from? reporting at nasa goddard space flight center wjz eyewitness news, babb to you. besides determining whether there is water on the moon, nasa hopes to send people back to the moon. and the cost of this mission is upwards of $600 million. , which i'm told is a drop in the bucket when you consider they could send men up there to look for it again. that would be more expensive. i think we were on yesterday when they talked about the actual cost of transporting even just a gallon or so of water to the moon, it was $600 million for a gallon. it was, you know, just figuratively speaking. i think the best evidence there may not be water on the moon is no grass, no lawns up

there. q. that's true. if you saw a nice lawn you'd say yeah, water. >> does that mean all the husbands will move up there, don't have to do yardwork every weekend. >> we're looking at a decent, you know, pretty decent forecast for the rest of this weekend. today as we've been talking about, if you're trying to get an idea of what we were talking about when we're saying it's balmy and hot and sticky, all that good stuff, go outside right now. just don't turn your tv off of course, but go out sigh right now and get an idea of what we're dealing w the humidity and the moisture level is pretty high right now. the result of the rain that moved through overnight and is now kind of locked in place because of these clouds that you see, the rain and the moisture has not gone anywhere. the front is still pushing through, has not changed our temperatures. so we're kind of locked around 70 degrees area wide. what we're doling with clearing out nicely around the state. much of the rain that came through in the last 12 hours

sore is now down on the lower eastern shore, down around the border, we have to our west and southwest moving across west virginia and kentucky and tennessee the remainder of this line of showers associated with the front. we will not rule out the potential for a shower through the day, but again most of the heavier rain that we thought we were going to get with this has since left. 68 degrees the temperature at bwi marshal, 65 the dew point, relative humidity 90%, winds west at 5 miles per hour, barometer at 29.74 and around the state we are close to about 70 degrees area wide except for out in oakland and 50. 66 in cumberland, 66 in elkton and 80 on the shore, 67 in westminster, 68 in bel air, 72 in rock hall and on kent island and 68 over in columbia. those winds from the west will work to dry us out a little bit, after the rain moves on by. that will be a dry wind that really helps to get rid of cloud cover, starts to dry us out

through tomorrow. we'll see a lot of sunshine heading into the ravens game. this line of storms was a front, warm front followed by a cold front extended from new england all the way back to basically mexico right on the southwestern edge of texas, moved across and has continued to move across over the last 24 hours. we started watching this about this time yesterday and as it started to make its way in. as you see though, the edge of this storm system is moving into maryland, does not really make it over the mountains. you see a lot of the clouds and rain not making t that is why the line we were watching earlier today has dissipated. we can't rule out with all this moisture around that there may not be a shower or so before this is all said and done. our sunrise is officially at 7:11, sunset 6:35. there is small craft advisory in effect through 2:00 p.m. with the winds on the bay from the northwest at 15 knots gusting to 20. the next high tide is 11:39.

they're finding a way to win games with carson palmer and company. >> don't forget you can watch the ravens take on the cincinnati bengals sunday, tomorrow right here at 1:00 on wjz 13. the bengals lost their first game, everybody wrote them off, they beat the steelers. wow. >> then so much is being made -- all of the sports casters, talking about the potential ricky bobby dance in the end zone with chad ochocinco, i have seen taladega nights, i don't know how you translate that into an end zone dance. i bet it can be done. >> hopefully we don't see it. >> i guess we can sit in the chair or jessica's chair. my air looks blond or something. maybe that's how jessica does it. >> jessica is a but net really. >> maybe it's that monitor there. i have dark hair over there. the lights in here are always so different, you know.

they do play tricks on you. we're looking at a nice day, the light we will see is courtesy of the sun after the clouds break later in morning. we have a good bit of cloud cover, the cloud cover is working to insulate us. you're looking there at the red carpet. i believe that is the starting line and probably the finishing point of the baltimore marathon. ron matz joins us live from there in a few minutes we'll check in with him. a good day for a run. actually, it's not i guess in the scheme of things as cool as a lot of runners would like it. it's humid out there, but what we're seeing is in the big scheme of things only one blob of rain moving through north of baltimore city which will not affect the runners. a lot of rain moved through overnight. didn't see a lot of it. you will see trays of it after you go outside, your car or walkway may be damp. then we have a large area to our west. most of that has not been making its way into our region. over the mountains and all it has not quite sustained itself

as it moves across. so we'll keep in our forecast because the system is so extensive extending back toward texas we will keep it in our forecast for the remainder of this day. it will not be a washout of any of your plans. in fact you'll see a good bit of sun in the afternoon. 67 at bwi marshal, 93% relative humidity with winds from the west at 3 miles per hour. temperatures area wide in the 60s, upper 60s to 80 in ocean city, 48 in oakland, the cool spot on the map. looking at temperatures around the mid to upper 60s from bel air down toward rock hall. again that west wind will dry us out from all the rain moving through here. as you see, it extends a good way but it has not made it into the mid-atlantic, a lot lifted to the north and west. remainder that's around is dissipating. you see the clouds but not the rain. it is very close by. scattered showers not out of the question. high pressure moves into our region for the remainder of the next five days after this front

pushes through temperatures cool down. we'll be in the mid-60s for most of the week. so this is how it shapes up with your sunset today at 6:35, small craft advisory in effect through 2:00. temperatures today locked in pretty much where they are now. mostly cloudy just a touch of rain area wide. 71 degrees the daytime highs. 46 tonight under partly cloudy and then sunshine tomorrow, 69 degrees. your five-day forecast is coming up. sounds good to me. still ahead on eyewitness news saturday morning. surveillance video of tsunami waves rolling over american samoa. hole in one, an eight-year-old boy accomplishes every golfer's dream days after having brain surgery. here are some of yesterday's lottery numbers. we will be right back.
