Im storm team 4 meteorologist som ara theodore. If you look out in the distance, those clouds are beginning to billow in, marking the transition and the wet weather to come. F for now were at 82 degrees. Well see the humidity rise through the next couple of hours and through the overnight hours and you can see here weve got the cloud coverage and rain, our next system not too far away from us and thats going to be making an impact starting this evening all of the way through your monday. Tonights forecast, im going with overnight lows in the 60s begin overnight. Another thing i want to mention. The big headline for tomorrow will be starting at noon tomorrow, any area in green if you live in these counties and down to anne arundel and down into northern virginia, we are under a Flash Flood Watch and we are expecting a good amount of rain to move through. Lets go ahead and walk through this as far as the time goes. Starting around 2 00 a. M. , i would say honestly, probably after 11 00 p. M. , we start to see the showers impacting the counties and these showers will be on the light side. And then we move through the a. M. Time period and were talking about light to moderate on and off showers as they move through. It will be a damp day overall. Notice how the rain begins to pick up. I think our biggest threat for any storms that may turn severe will be farther south toward Southern Maryland and toward the northern neck, but nonetheless, everyone will be seeing heavy storms and by 2 00 a. M. Tuesday were still under cloudy skies, and we should begin to dry out for your tuesday and this should be a oneday event and lets recap the morning commute. It will be a little bit of a nasty one. We are going to be seeing temperatures to start and it will not budge through tomorrow and it will be difficult for us to make it through the 80degree mark and Storm Chances start to pick up through the afternoon and extend through the evening period and both commutes will be very wet. Prepare for that. Two things to know, if you have dinner plans this evening, youre fine. Its a go. Its not until 11 00 at night im starting to see the showers and humidity will be rising as we head throughout the evening and we are expecting the monday. Here is your tenday outlook. Even though we have the storms moving through your monday, it will just last that one day. Tuesday morning ill keep my eye out for a few showers and temperatures climb back into the low 80s for your tuesday. We move through the middle of the week and we stay pretty dry, quiet and comfortable, but that will be impacting us by next weekend. Thats a look at your storm fios is not cable.

Head coach jay gruden talking to wide receiver josh dodson as he left practice today. Hes being evaluated for a hamstring injury. You remember, missed 14 gigs due to an achilles injury and well have more on the redskins in richmond on the way. But we begin in chicago and relax, summers not over, but perhaps the october review for the, and imagine from the world series hangover, and 15 and 6 from the allstar break and the National League central. The two teams will be in the postseason for now, just the deciding game of of a threegame series. Aaron making his second career start and he will certainly remember Wilson Contreras today. Bottom of the fourth, cubs catcher, and one of his two homers, and you know living this. Cub fans, of course, and they also love it and were talking about lovette in the chicago bullpen. Cubsy, sends been off and check out this guy that catches the foul ball with baby in hand. Risky move. It pays off and who knew . Baseballs are delicious. Make sure you clean that off, though. The little guy feasting on the ball, bases loaded, yeah. Carl edwards, jr. , to center his third career grand slam, and cubs are 94 back home tomorrow for a series with the marlins and max sherzer will be on the mound. The orioles closing out their series against the tigers and i mean, a lot of fireworks in this one. As the hip kid says like to say you can kiss this goodbye, the 25th home run of the season and adam jones, in fact, loves seeing that. 82 rbi for the scope in the American League and the orioles are up 20 and they tell him they call him crush, right . This is why. This is to the bleachers in center, his 18th homer and orioles backtoback home run, and theyre not done. Trey mancini is up next. He struggled with this and its backtoback to back home run, and manny machado, boy, thats run. The center, a tworun shot and manny went 4 for 5 and five rbis and all totaled 123 win over the tigers. Back to the redskins. Its official, so theres no need for deep thought, but its about depth where the redskins preseason game under way, the burgundy and gold released its first unofficial depth chart. Shirley burress has more on a player who a year ago at this time is not where he is now, number one at his runningback, rob kelly continues to fight for the top spot after winning the job over in week eight. He hasnt looked back since. He scored twice as many touchdowns as any other back on this roster and still surprises himself how he got to the top. Nice it was weird, and it was something that i wasnt expecting at all, but when the time came and my number was called i was prepared. Handoff to rob kelly, and kelly scores a red skins touchdown. Everyone is confident in themselves and what they can do and they dont have to worry about knocking them out and all of that type of stuff. A lot of times, nowadays, i want this, i want this, and theyre very unselfish and theyre able to do all of the things that are necessary for a successful back. I think he does a good job, if one person makes the long run, we feed off of one another. What have you this camp. Chris thompson is Getting Better and we look for advice and stuff like that. That was a lie. For real, though, its the truth. I think at the end of the day, hell have access and its a good job of feeding off each other. In the backfield hoping to shine with a starbrighter than another. In richmond, terry burress, news 4 sports. Christy toliver hosting the mercury. Shes taken out a lot of the community and she had 20 points, but no bucket bigger than this one coming up. The mystics at this point are up by one, under 20 seconds to go and toliver drains the offbalance jumper and they won four of the last five games the city open mens final and check out this return from the german and just no chance for anderson as virev takes the first set, 64. In the near court with the championship point, back and forth, but anderson will end up putting it out and sverev, 20 years old, wins the citi open, his fourth title. The good old days when i was young, athletic and rich u but alexander wins the city open. Thank you. That is the news for now. On this sunday night, direct hit, Dozens Injured as a tornado sweeps through tulsa, oklahoma, damaging buildings and knocking out power to thousands and the Severe Weather didnt end there. High stakes. Top officials
