mississippi and louisiana. now parts of the country that are parched with drought will get some welcome rain out of this system up through central missouri and illinois, the bread basket. we could see scattered showers, rain we don't need but scattered showers coming in as early as our labor day. here's the trend. showers drift further. we're still dry, great start, hot and maybe a few more clouds holding temps down. showers will push east. the front dipping down, so a frontal boundary will help push that shower act in our direction by monday. hurricane kirk is to the north, not a threat to lnld, a more ominous look storm leslie. the projection is to stay in the open atlanta eke waters, be a storm. tonight 65, mostly clear. we stay rather mild but more humid. tomorrow 94. it will be getting hotter, hot are down the city. >> you may want to cope an eye on maryland's most powerful radar. >> thank you. whether you want to track a major storm like isaac or figure out what the weather will be like, we got you. well,

we're finally getting a break in all of the areas that have been hit in southern mississippi and down toward new orleans. now we're getting beneficial soaking rains over much of the state of arkansas as the system has tracked where we wanted it to just to the west of little rock. that pretty much means the west side of the storm is the east side of the storm. unfortunately for oklahoma and kansas, much of this is not heading your way. as far as the path goes, over the weekend, it will be a slow jog. anywhere from missouri to illinois to indiana and maybe eventually ohio and kentucky, you'll have increased clouds, cooler weather and a chance of rain and in someases some beneficial rain here, too, and that will be especially near the areas of missouri. the forecast, as i mentioned, it's hot. many areas in 290s. from chicago, ohio valley to the east coast. that's a look at your national forecast. now here's a look outside your window. baltimore and detroit and a lot of these areas, you wonder if this will be one of the last really hot days. usually the cold front comes out one after anot

mississippi. while this may be a minimal hurricane, when you get those sorts of rains, there's going to be widespread flooding. that will be a problem. not like katrina because the levee system much better than it was. this is a weaker storm from katrina. it won't have the storm surge katrina did but maybe 10, 12 feet along the mississippi gulf coast and the moisture could mess up our labor day. we might be seeing some of that here. by saturday morning it will be in st. louis trashing toward illinois andeanian as we head toward sunday. we may get some in over the weekend. that's why when i showed you the seven-day, we had some questions as far as our competence level in when those showers and -- confidence level in when those showers and storms may arrive. tonight the drier air moves n. cumberland 59. 61 hagerstown. we'll get to about 70 here. tomorrow looks fantastic. high about 85. some spots will stop in the low 80s, jc. so this is going to be one of those days if you can have a long lunch or g
