it is 76 in chestertown over on the eastern shore. cool readings out in the western maryland mountains, and it will be chilly out there tonight. only in the 50's in the afternoon out around the creek this afternoon. they may hold on to some of that tonight but than clear out nicely during the day tomorrow. east of the mounds, we expect clear skies to develop as we get through the evening. the east of the mountains. overnight lows range through the 50's. there is yesterday's cold front, and you can still see some of the strong storms offshore. the next cold front will move in rapidly, but this does not have much moisture with that at all. it will move through here sunday night and monday morning. behind it there is more cool if not cold air. it is cold enough for rain to mix with snow in parts of montana and the northern rockies this afternoon. the seasons are changing, especially up to the north of us. the front slides down into virginia and we get back into a dry mode early next week. there is not much rain in the forecast until mayb

chestertown up through galina. statewide these numbers not looking too much different unless you are way out west to oakland. that was cooler in oaks city. most of the area was sitting into the heat this morning. there is no doubt about it. as we look at the numbers now, the heat index numbers as we speak still feeling close to 100 in easton. still feeling like mid 90s out there for us. the winds have been steady out there. out of the south. bringing up that warm humid air. that will continue tomorrow but we will begin to see the winds shift a little bit as the cool shift way out here in ohio. it will take awhile to get in here. we think by midday this front crosses the area. we still warm up across the sunshine. but as we go into the night tomorrow, things will begin to cool off behind this cool front. it will push the hot weather pattern out to the east and allow that cooler weather to flow in. much cooler air arriving behind that. you can see we keep the rain just about nonexistent. we can see an isolated shower

chestertown, 68. 69 in rock hall. this is the satellite picture. a warm front is moving in. it will turn hot and this afternoon. the cool front will move in tomorrow morning. this warm air will provide mostly sunny skies that hot and humid conditions, especially for this time of year. it is officially a fall. a southwest wind about 10 to 15 miles per hour. we have matthew. matthew is down in the caribbean moving towards central america. it looks like kathy will spend some time down there. it also looks like matthew or some other storm developing in the caribbean make it close to us or across florida or somewhere around the eastern seaboard by next weekend. here is the forecast. lisa is way out in the atlantic ocean. sunday, monday, but into tuesday, matthew would change from a tropical storm to just a depression over the yucatan peninsula. there is a lot of rain down there. we will hear stories about flooding. matthew or some other storm by next weekend may provide some rent for us. our forecast does not go out that far. it only goes out seven days. 92 today and humid. 84 to

shore, we have more rain and you can see all the way from the northern parts of eastern shore down to chestertown. it's eased up now and the start south, you can see over the border, there's more rain and more rain in this. it's going to continue. we have flash flood warns until 4:30 and until we saw the heavier rain -- that's in the darker green and because of this pattern continuing. there's a chance for more to occur. here's the situation. the rain moved in yesterday and it seemed heavier at times and the waves will come up from the south and they'll come up from a few passes. and the winds came from the south east and they're out of the west. and that's because the band has pretty much set up over the appalachians heres. and we have coastal flood warns in effect. and temperaturewise, the temperatures have gone up and we got up to 77 and we're at 75 now. and here's the cooler air at 63 and in the 50s in the mountains. we're not going to change much through the first half of tomorrow. this brings around rain and thunderstorms an it continues to push off to the north east. it will leave us later

chestertown across the bay is 73 degrees. you can see the effect of the front across the bay. pittsburgh only 51. chicago 52. milwaukee 44. and up at international falls, 37 degrees. we're not going to get that chilly. but chilly air is pushing in. the key to this whole thing is the front moving in. here it is out to our west. we'll be settling to our south and stalling in southeast virginia. then a couple waves will be moving along a sfront. so we bonet really get into that cool air up in the great lakes because we'll be too close to the front. we will push down this warm, humid stuff just far enough south to make things more comfortable by tomorrow. the thing is, with these waves moving along its front, they will pull in moisture off the atlantic ocean. that produces clouds and that ups our chance for rain eventually. we'll see the front approaching. still unseasonnably warm but not as hot as yesterday. 83 to 87 the high. west winds at 10 to 15 miles per hour. look at the sunset time. sunsetting before 7:00 in the evening. small graft advisory out -- small craft advisory out
