should be. average high now is 80. here is doppler right now. a lot of activity in pennsylvania and in the mountains. locally, though, been tracking a couple of lone showers that have been near the metro. you notice over the last hour things have really kind of weakened significantly expect for this guy right here in southwestern montgomery county. it's packing a punch. it's not severe, but there have been torrential downpours in these showers today because of the juicy atmosphere. you can see is north of potomac. over towards great seneca highway, this is moving to the northeast. over towards falls orchard in a few minutes. rockville 6:50. brookeville at 7:13. it's moving about 20 miles per hour or so. the biggest stuff, more active where we've got lightning and thunder in the mountains of west virginia. is moving northeast west of romney approaching fort ashby right now out of the more field

area. there is a cluster of lightning to the northeast. cumberland east. maybe berkeley springs over the next 30, 40 minutes if this moves right into towards allegheny county out of west virginia. locally what a pretty night we have got in washington right now. great afternoon to be on a sailboat. still 86. with the dewpoint at 70, feels like 91 out there. winds out of the south at 13 miles per hour. and temperatures still toasty. especially in fredericksburg. 88 degrees there. some rain cooled 70s here for parts of the shenandoah valley. across the bay 84 in easton. 92 today. seventh time this month we have been 90 or more. last year we hit 90 once in the month of may. in 1991 we averaged 73.0 degrees. our records go back to 1872. if that holds, and i think it probably will, the new record 73.2. a record we probably didn't

want but we have the warmest may in washington history. hot and humid one more day. that's going to be monday. yellow alert day monday and tuesday because we will have afternoon and evening thunderstorms on monday. much cooler by tuesday. in the 70s. and more showers tuesday. so right now we will keep the yellow alert going. you can see the moisture from really mississippi. we have one cluster of moisture in pennsylvania and new york. so a lot of available moisture for some heavy downpours. that's the case tomorrow afternoon and evening. here is the futurecast. morning is quiet. midday things are going to start to pop. mid to late afternoon, evening, some heavier showers and storms. some could be lingering tuesday to wednesday depending how far south that front gets. and even that's a little bit in question. 66 to 74 tonight with the isolated mainly evening showers and storms. otherwise, warm and muggy. tomorrow morning partly sunny. warm. humid. we are going to rise quickly into the low-to-mid 60s by lunchtime and then the afternoon showers and storms. some could be severe to highs

85 to 90. on tuesday more showers. especially south. wednesday more showers. in the 70s. we head towards the second half of the week we will warm up. with that front nearby, what's left of it, can't totally eliminate the shower or thunderstorm chance. nats will be back. we have the games on friday night and saturday right here on wusa 9. >> okay. like howard said, it's been a tough road trip. it continues today. tough weekend continues for the nats. been a month since we have seen what you're about to see, gang. cincy treating washington with disdain. bring out the brooms. the tr
