it. let's take a look at what is happening on the ier i radar which is much easier to say. up to the north and east, we have been seeing some shower activity at the cecil county. the western part of maryland had showers earlier that is why i put that graphic together. now it has moved off to the north and pennsylvania so i didn't really need to show it. to the south, we have a little bit of activity toward charles county and also moving through just south central part of the state in general. most of the activity has stayed offshore. we put thing into motion, you will see the heaviest rain that has been up close to the low pressure center. we are also going to get a low front moving in our direction. that will bring the warm air at the surface with moisture, too. that will create a lot of instability, especially when you have cooler air aloft. take a look at the picture, you will see that we have the low pressure center moving to the north. that is what we were referring to -- with low pressure center moving to, again a warm front moving from the south and more instability so afternoon, evening showers and thunderstorms, especially. could have a shower this morning but a better chance of a thunderstorm would come later in the day. the latest activity off in new england if you're headed in that direction and back to the midwest with the next low pressure inner moving t -- centg to the north and east. you can see the showers moving through today and tomorrow. this coul would be an afternoon evening type of event each day through the week. a lot of moisture coming from the south. that is the humidity that will accompany thing and the cooler air aloft with the low pressure. that will shift toward the east making for all the ingredients you would need for the afternoon and evening thunderstorms. 72 degrees with cooler temperatures. north wind at 6 miles an hour and the humidity is at 71%. dew point is at 62, meaning the humidity is with us. 72 degrees in baltimore and in d.c.71 degrees there and 70 in salisbury and cooler in oakland at 54. look for the temperatures to climb toward is 70 degrees. a 5-10-mile out the northeast shifting toward the southeast. showers this morning but also the chance for a thoorm i thundn the afternoon when we get up to the 80 degrees. back to the west, 80 degrees with an northeast wind and the showers with thunderstorm chances later. 67 degrees for the overnight low, can't rule out an evening thunderstorm, still but showers continue, looks like into the overnight period. 84 degrees with tomorrow's high period with the humidity. 85 for thursday, 86 for both friday and saturday. can't rule out a thunderstorm until maybe saturday morning. then we start to dry out for the weekend. 87 looking better for sunday but still humid and definitely hotter, 86 and the chance of rain returning on monday. and we want to let you know, that you can always go to fox baltimore.com and click on i radar, you can use fox 45 powerful radar to track incoming storms. the tools will let you see when the rain and thunderstorms are over your house. go to foxbaltimore.com and click on i-radar. now candace dold is back with the traffic edge. >> reporter: thanks, steve. we do have some new trouble to talk about in baltimore county, but before we get to that, we're going to tell you about your speed times. so far so good, the 695 exit moving toward bel air, it's up to speed there and on 95, traveling at 65 miles per hour. if you're traveling along the jfx, we're looking at a 52-mile per hour drive. i did just see a drop and it's slowing down to 47 miles per hour wrapping toward 70 on the jfx. and on the 95 exit traveling at 62 miles per hour, so not doing too bad through howard county. the trouble comes in the northern baltimore county, we do have an accident on the southbound lanes of 83. it's right at mount caramel road. you will want to use york road as your alternate route. so crews are just responding to scene and will you start to see all of the flashing lights. once you get toward the beltway, though, it's going to be in the green on the beltway from towson, all the way toward parkville and

hospital sprechizing in breast cancer, a job she has had for 7 years, every day through the same doors ready for work. >> about 3 -- stitch please. >> reporter: but this no ordinary day. today, the doctor is the patient. >> running in the door. >> reporter: she is having a biopsy, does she have breast cancer, the very disease she has committed her life to fighting? to be black, a woman and a surgeon makes lisa new man a rarity in this country. as a young surgeon in brooklyn, new york lisa newman notices coming alarming in her patient. >> it was heartbreaking every day in the clinic to continuously be seeing african-american women that seem to be disproportionately a flicked with breast cancer and worst stages of disease. >> reporter: even worse, this cancer was a different, more aggressive type. it's called triple negative breast cancer or tnbc. the statistics are appalling. black women are twice as likely as white women to get tnbc. why so deadly? when breast cancer is diagnosed, doctors look for three markers that show where the cancer is most vulnerable and help determine how best to fight it. but the markers aren't there with triple negative breast cancer, making this type of cancer very difficult to treat and more likely to return. >> can you really have no way -- targeted way to fight triple negative breast cancer. >> that's correct. in terms of care, chemotherapy is all that is available. still ahead this morning, the latest on the death of nfl star steve mcnair, what tockcology results say about his state of mind before he was shot. and signs the

meteorologist steve fertig and see what we can expect. the flag was blowing there, a nice windy morning. >> not too bad around here, a 5-10-mile-an-hour wind. the plow is from the east and that brings more moisture, that means humidity. that lends itself for a chance of showers and thunderstorms in the afternoon as we get into the warmer part of the day. we're seeing showers around this morning but not prevalent as we expect them to be later when they will be more scattered around moreover the area. low pressure coming up from the coast and the low moving up later as well. that could be bringing us a chance for showers and a chance for a thunderstorm. not as bad as it will be in the midwest. offshore you can see heavier down pours there. here 72 degrees starting out, 71 degrees in d.c. 72 in
