Gwen Tauber standing by with one last check of weather before we head out of here for the Sunday
edition of this newscast. What's going on Gwen? Well we're ending the weekend with less humidity
and more clouds than sun and a few passing showers. Take a look at our satellite radar.
Frontal system that moved through yesterday has stalled to the south of us and could spark some
storms across central Virginia to the south in the Shenandoah Valley. Other than that,
mostly everybody will stay dry without just a passing sprinkle. We're heating it up as we
get into the week. We start off with a comfortable Monday at 84 degrees and less humidity but that
all changes from Tuesday to Friday as we get into a heat wave even into Saturday and Friday and
Saturday a chance of some severe storms in the forecast. By the time we get to Wednesday,
it's going to feel like it's more than 100 degrees plus with the heat in DC as it starts to kick in.
So just remember all your heat safety tips. It will not be as oppressive as the last heat wave.
That's at least a bit of good news for you but it will still be heat that we are going to have
to monitor very closely for you and that we do want to make sure that you realize all the same
things we told you last time to do. Don't leave pets or kids in cars. Check on the elderly. Stay
very hydrated. Lots of water. Wear light clothing and no strenuous activity outside. So in the
meantime, enjoy today the end of your weekend and tomorrow. Very comfortable and just be weather
alert, guys.
