most of the rain is in pennsylvania and just coming into garrett county off to the west. switching to a wider view, you will see this activity coming in. this one little cell popping up over the airport right now. a lot of rain here, lightning and thunder. this was moving in our direction. the weather is going to change. at the moment, we have partly cloudy skies. temperatures in the 80's, a little cooler across portions of the day. then we got into the 70's near the west of maryland, even the 60's. part of that is rain, part of that is cloud cover holding the temperature down a little bit. more important, the dew points temperature, an expression of how much moisture is in the air. one at they are in the 70's, it is like the amazon jungles, very topical. for the most part, on the day, in the 70's, but in western maryland, two. temperatures dropped into the 60s. that is a little drier air trying to come in with this cold front out to the west. adding insult to injury, this is the pollen count. not bad. the total pollen count, moderate range. when we try out this weekend,

pennsylvania/maryland border, that's where our rain is. that's where it's going to stay for the next hour or two, and then it will start to move toward the south. how far south? well, we'll have to just wait and see. your good night/wake-up forecast could see showers between 9:00 and 11:00. and tomorrow morning, it says rainy there. let's just go with warm. i think it will be rainier as we make our way through the day tomorrow. a flash flood watch in effect for the day tomorrow. i'll show you who has that and when we could see the most rain. guys? >> thanks, doug. >>> metro riders may notice new shorter station names by next year. the transit agency is going through with plans to streamline station names. african-american civil war memorial, for example, could be changed to u-street core dozo. national mall could also be added to the smithsonian station's signage. metro says customers have voiced a strong preference for simpler station names more reflective of locations and landmarks. >>> up in new york, democrats there have picked a candi

all across the maryland- pennsylvania border. that's where we're seeing a whole bunch of shower and thunderstorm act first. just around bel air over to medina, north of hereford park. all across northern park. and a heavier band here you can see around glen rock, maryland line, shrewsbury. that's all moving across extreme northern baltimore county. another storm just to the east of cumberland. so we have storm activity in the region. it looks like the balance there will be just around the maryland-pennsylvania border, south of washington. don't expect to see a whole lot. but tomorrow, the same front is going to sink a little further south. and we have chances for heavy, heavy rain and thunderstorm activity again tomorrow. there's a little more widespread than today, looks like. >> okay, bob. thank you. >>> let's check in on the roads now with kristy breslin at wjz traffic control. >>> the harrisburg expressway, still quite a scene there. heavy congestion in the northbound direction, from shawan to belfast. it will take you at lea

. >> well, in pennsylvania, we're faced with all of the challenges of an older northeastern state. we have the highest number of structurally deficient bridges in the country. although as governor, we put more money into bridge repair than the last five administrations put together, and we made a dent in that. but we still have over 5,500 structurally deficient bridges. each of those bridges is a potential problem, a serious problem. some of the bridges will be weight limited, some of them closed, and heaven forbid some of them will fall. we came this close to having a bridge that supports i-95 through philadelphia buckle because a pier had a crack in it this big, and it was only found by accident by penn-dot consultant who was going for a cheese steak at a place underneath that bridge. it was sheer happenstance. and i-95 was closed for three days. 180,000 vehicles a day go over that. so the cost is incredible. that american society of civil engineers report -- we waste extra gasoline, we waste by sitting in traffic, by going around in detours, damage to our cars by inadequate road

i'm talking about you folks up in the northern tier counties and southern pennsylvania. it's not impossible as this wave follows a stationary front that we could see maybe from 4:00 to 7:30 or cork maybe a passing shower or thundershower. we have a 50% chance. we have this nice flow coming around an area of low pressure. it's making a warm day feel more comfortable than yesterday's warm day. having said that, we got two different things going on here. 84 now with 52% humidity, winds calm. low to mid-70s western maryland, 82 hagerstown. mid-80s washington, d.c., pax river, ocean city. 81 westminster. low 80s rock hall, kent island and annapolis. it's loosely organized, upper air feature. it's just meandering along. the mountains will take some of the power out of this thing. i don't think we have a washout this evening at all. with any luck at all, this is over, said and done with by fireworks time. believe it or not, one this me anders south of the arks skies will clear out to a rather partly cloudy condition. this high pressure will run our weather through the week. thi
