[00:00:00]there is a live look at the WJZ Outback.

[00:00:02]Again, your lawn, your garden, probably got to get to work soon here. It's going to be shooting up here. So, it's time to cut the grass. All right, let's go from there to a little bit more of a Oh, wow.

[00:00:12]Eddie, you did good. All right, our producer Eddie said we're going to scrap Ocean City and go to Havre de Grace, and I know why. Eddie, you didn't disappoint me. That is a beautiful shot there here on a Thursday morning. Scrapping a beach shot on a Thursday, it's a risky move, but he did it. All right, let's take a look at the shot here in the studio. We are looking at a gorgeous day ahead. A gusty breeze, humidity levels are dropping, and it is just the beginning of a really winning stretch of weather that will carry us from a fantastic Friday, upper 70s, sunshine and refreshing, to a beautiful weekend ahead. It looks like sunshine, low 70s on Saturday, mid 70s on Sunday, and all weekend you're in your comfort zone. You can thank the cold front that's crossing the area as we speak. You're going to see a blue line appear here, and it's now south of Baltimore. So, with this front hitting the road, that means we are hitting the comfort zone here for the next few days, and really making up for some lost time in terms of the weather department. Our morning temperatures right now, 67 in Chestertown. It's 67 in Annapolis, 63 for you in Odenton, 65 in Columbia, 69 in Owings Mills, and 63 in Bel Air. Our falling humidity levels really is the secret sauce here of making this such a beautiful stretch of weather. Not only will it be comfortable during the afternoon, your sleeping weather at night is much better shape, and you don't need to run the air conditioning, which means you're going to save a few dollars as well. So, kind of that perfect recipe coming into play. 78 in Highlandtown today, 78 in Hampden, on your corner up in Mount Washington, 78°, 79 in Curtis Bay. Temperatures across the state in the mid to upper 70s. What you don't see here is the gusty breeze out of the west and northwest at about 15 to 35 mph. This is why you're never sweating today, and this is why the air will feel so good here by the time you're coming home from work and school.

[00:02:00]Clear and crisp tonight, a star-lit sky, temperatures in the mid-50s with increasing cool winds out of the north about 5 to 15 mph. 55 your overnight low in Elkton, 54 Bel Air tonight, 58 downtown Baltimore City, 57 in Glen Burnie, 55 your overnight low in Stevensville, and you're going to be seeing more and more of the moon, too, overnight through Sunday when the full moon comes out for our visual pleasure. All right, our pleasure tomorrow is a beautiful Friday, 59° at 7:00 a.m. By lunchtime, we're approaching the low 70s and upper 70s here for a fantastic Friday, a makeup for a last week's Friday, which was not so hot. 72° on Saturday, 75 on Sunday, a gorgeous outdoor weekend across the state. Monday, just a chance of a shower here. There is a weak system up to our north that will be spinning around some spokes of sprinkles and showers. So, the worst-case scenario looks like maybe a shower here on Monday, nothing too heavy. As you move into Tuesday and Wednesday of next week, now we're starting to get a little concerned here, right? We have so many back-to-back dry days, and it looks like this dry pattern may last all the way through next weekend. So, again, it was good that we had the rain, good that we had the good weather, but we also need the rain as well.
