also warren, frederick county, and clark county in virginia as well as washington county and frederick, you have a severe thunderstorm warning. those are going to go until 5:30. let's get in more specifically. i want to show you the immediate areas that are under the gun right now. so they are showing you who has the severe thunderstorm warnings. it's not every part of those regions. we had a few down to the south. they just dropped all of the warnings that were in effect down around the northern neck. there is plenty of lightning with these. that's the main thing people need to be aware of. the only report in addition to the lighting is the fact there are tree limbs. some o r producing hail, like this one you see not too far from colonial beach. that is going to be crossing the river and heading on up to your north and watch these up in washington county, too, they are moving slowly to the southeast, dropping heavy rain. you know they have the lightning as well. hail will be the big story, heavy rain as they move on through. as you can see, it's not for everybody. but our entire regio

heat index of 100 in frederick . it fuels the heat driven thunderstorms. this compared to a couple of weeks ago we don't have the sheer aloft, the change in wind direction altitude. any storms we see will be more general strong thomas that could provide damaging gusty winds. these are healthy storms you see on the visible satellite view. they don't have the rotation that supercell rotation we see a lot of times in the late spring and early summer. this continues to press in through the rest of the eveningment see a line of showers and storms through 11:00. outthey will be pushing out the heat bubble of high pressure we have been searing in the last couple of days. that's good. behind the line tomorrow, we will clear out nicely, comfortable tomorrow night in the 60s, no humidity. a huge change. saturday looks beautiful as well. mid to upper 80s with almost no humidity. tremendous improvements. evening scattered storms, some could be strong to severing too many, few clouds, less hot, less humid, we like those kinds of lesses in our would. tomorrow night 63.

another warning is in frederick county until 5:30. a blot of lightning with this. you can see where these are just east of boone borrow, very heavy rain along route 15, back to the west. right along i-81 here, if you live in haguers ton, this storm is moving your way. yet another storm just to the south and west, that one not severe right now, but will most likely bring areas of martins burg pretty good rain. >>> another severe thunderstorm warning in effect for steven city. this is the storm here over steven city that's produces very heavy rainfall as well as winds gusting upyards of 50 miles an hour. this storm will move through winchester over the next, say, 20 minutes or so, then it's off toward the millwood region. be ready, this will move along route 7. if you live in louden county, these storms of not very far off. this is all part of a very large system making it's way in. look at the thunderstorm watching from new york all the way down, new jersey, philadelphia, delaware, down through virginia. all with watches throughout the afternoon. this is the line th

the warning in frederick county has been allowed to expire. now the focus shifts back to the flash flooding. we have some thunderstorms that are severe indicated by the orange outlying counties. that will track to the northeast through the potomac into charles county. you have not seen the last of a yet. this is the next sellable watch moving into southern maryland. >> look at this rainfall. mount airy has 3.1 inches of rain so far. that is where we have flood warnings. sue land has picked up 1.5 inches. this is through 11:00 tonight. they are stretched out well into north carolina. >> it is not often that the storm prediction center issues a moderate risk in washington. today we have the set up that indicated the severity of the situation and what to expect for this. heavy showers starting to organize in the shenandoah valley. we still have an ongoing severe thunderstorm warning around cumberland. even frederick county virginia included in that, but most of it is dry at this time. >> explain the colors to people. >> the purple is a severe thu

especially up into frederick county, up around damascus and that area. we have got reports of tornadoes, of trees down of funnel clouds. this is a funnel cloud, and this 16th jefferson city and frederick county, about 5:27. funnel cloud about 500 to 1,000 feet off the ground. we talked about this earlier. it is not always the fact that the damaging winds actually make it to the ground. sometimes they do, sometimes they are at the very tops of the trees which is actually good. you don't want them all the way to the ground. another funnel cloud, no damage, buddha mass cuss and monte months county, 2:33. that was one of the earlier storms. now we see in prince george's county, rather, we also have reports of wind damage around clinton. that was at 5:04. they have strong winds and heavy rains and quite possibly some flash flooding. this is more damage in loudoun county about 2:00 this afternoon. these are just the ones that are in. we are going to more than likely see another round of storms as we go through the next two, three hours because of the next roun

now frederick pabst enjoyed his career on the great lakes. so he remained a captain for two years until he finally retired and bought an equal half interest in his father-in-law's brewing company for $21,000. again, a large sum of money, especially when one considers we were in the middle of the civil war. so at that point. he starts his career as a beer baron. but of a very small brewing company, pabst brewing company was making 3,000 barrels of beer a year. he took that company from this, very modest start, to a brewing company that was considered the world's largest lager beer brewing company in the world by 1890. brewing in excess of 1 million barrels a year. heave always retained the title of captain. as kind of a, a friendly m lly reminder of his earlier days, and i think people in milwaukee enjoyed to call him captain pabst. no longer a captain of a great lakes steamer, a captain of industry in milwaukee and milwaukee society. this bust in particular was done by a florentine sculptor, a sculptor arrived in milwaukee in the early 1890s

we have a flash flood warning for frederick county, maryland until 1:15. let me show you a couple other things. i'm going to zoom in to exactly where this is right here. this is tyson's corner right now. let's show you our weather camera right on the front lawn here. this is a tree that is down. you can see the car with the blinking lights. this is between us and homeland security across the way here. not exactly sure which employees' cars those are. and now let's look at video from tyson's corner that was shot just a little while ago. the storms came in with the 50, 60, 70-mile-an-hour winds and a ton of lightning. i have seen numerous people call. they have been on my twitter account and facebook saying i have never seen lightning like this. i counted in ten minutes and this was just in frederick county maryland an hour ago, 1100 lightning strikes in ten minutes. that warning if we go back to the radar includes the eastern shore. so if you are thinking we will head out to ocean city or the beaches right now you want to give that a couple of hours. not a

i should say that my interest in black confederacy merged out of frederick douglass. i've given one talk on it and i felt like wearing a bull's-eye because it's so combustible. especially, you know, seriously, i don't know -- i mean, there are very new liberal whites who acknowledge any black fought for the confederacy. here's douglass. it's now pretty well established there are at the present moment many colored men in the confederate army doing duty. not only as laborers but as real soldiers. s muskets on their shoulders, bullets in their pockets ready to shoot down loyal troops. to destroy the federal government. again -- yeah, go ahead. >> blacks fighting for the unions, very different implications than fighting for the confederacy. >> yes. >> but i feel like it's still almost categorized as heroic in here and in the other. >> yes. >> was there any benefit or were they fighting as slaves? or did they gain anything from this? >> that's -- so the question is, your question assumes you believe william johnson's account of frederick douglass' account. it's a great que

and in frederick, widespread rain. you will see more rain developing to our southwest today lifting northward into the metro area. that's why it will be occasional. a little damp outside. a few embedded moderate showers as well. you will see about 1/2 intraday overall. not quite as heavy as we previously anticipated with this system. there's a cold front off to the west. high-pressure behind that giving us sunshine tomorrow. and lower humidity. the cold front moves through tonight. breeze behind that tomorrow. it is a refreshing breeze. futurecast shows it's not going to be raining everywhere all the time today. it will be sporadic in terms of the rain even into the nighttime. it will clear out tonight and tomorrow. by thursday morning, i have another chance of light rain 30%. that is mainly because there could be drizzle. we will have a northeasterly flow off the a atlantic. that will keep temperatures in check, but it will start our thursday with clouds and a chance of patchy drizzle on thursday. otherwise, here is t

we're seeing them up across northern frederick county getting up toward caroll county, approaching frederick and thurmont. so we're going to watch those areas as well for just a couple of very light sprinkles this morning. temps are in the mid- to upper 60s. it's 67 in sterling. manassas 66 in prince william county with 67 in spring field. 67 also for alexandria and rockville. 68 up in baltimore this morning. as we look outside, just a little bit of light. we're not quite from sunrise here. cloudy skies and a southerly wind at 8 miles an hour. your barometer rising slowly 30.13. big dome of hot ware from the great lakes back to -- hot air from the great lakes back to texas. the jet stream, this is where we're fining the most active weather. on the edge of this dome of high pressure, this is where we're seeing the bigger thunderstorms. some of them have been riding through the great lakes and coming through new york state. we've been on the tail end of this the last couple of days. you'll notice the clouds are sinking from the northwest to the southeast. so anything that forms again wants to

out toward the west we're watching more storms, frederick and a tornado warning again. that's set to expire around 6:00. this is the latest radar, maryland's most powerful radar showing an intense band of rain. we have been watching rainfall rates between two to four inches of rain. we've been seeing the flooding concern moving so slowly. the storm of the most severity is to the south of glen burnie. you can see where it is a tornado warning. we'll put a storm track on this. this is the storm that's capable of producing a tornado but also capable of producing a dangerous cloud to ground lightning and some large hail. we'll switch over to the live sweeping radar. i want to zoom back down into that storm that is set to move toward the north and east at 20 miles an hour. it's going to bring it into parts of the harbor at 6:23 and bethesda at 6:23. if you live in a town or region that's close, you need to seek shelter, get into a basement if you do have it, better safe than sorry. as this storm will roll toward the north and east we are expecting dangerous lightning. let's

sumter frederick douglass is really emblematic. he's by this point, if not the most respected, one of the most respected abolitionists and probably the most famous because of his brilliance as an orator and a writer. here's for douglass on how to end the war. you end slavery immediately, you arm blacks. 10,000 black soldiers could be raised in the next 30 days. they would be thrilled to fight. in fact, he says by preventing whites from being soldiers, which lincoln's call for 75,000 troops does, he says, you're only fighting with your right hand. by ending slavery and arming blacks, you can tap into this vital black power and quickly and easily vanquish the confederacy. yeah? >> one thing i noticed especially in the douglass reading from this week and how it contrasted with the other douglass reading we did, he's taking on much more of a national identity. >> yes, very much. does that happen only after secession? >> yes, that's a great -- douglass becomes kind of national spokesperson for the abolitionists and for the north, really

as close as frederick douglass ever comes to abandoning his faith and national ideals articulated in the declaration of independence is immediately after reading lincoln's inaugural address. he plans a trip to haiti. he travels to see if in fact what he read about and if it is he's going to move there immediately and encourage others to do the same. with lincoln as president there is no way the nation can come close to achieving national ideals. now he doesn't go to haiti. doesn't go on this trip. anyone know why? of course not. harper's weekly. this is from the perspective of confederates. so lincoln right after he gives the inaugural address goes to the white house. the first item of business is

this is route 15 and that's frederick. it's going to move across into frederick and probably in between new market and urbana. not severe, but the red is rainfall rates of about an inch per hour. there are pockets of heavy storms out. that's why we issued a code yellow. back to these storms, they've weakened towards prince george's county and anne arundel but south of upper marlboro, some moderate rain and now some rain over toward shady side. we still see showers and storms back toward harrisburg up into pennsylvania. we'll keep the chance for showers and thunderstorms in till about 10:00. temperaturewise primarily in the 70s, 76 bethesda and great falls, 74 springfield, 77 chen park, 74 in beltsville. so -- college park, 74 in beltsville. so early thunderstorms, a wet commute possible for some of us tonight going home and a fabulous friday, grab your shades, warmer and nice, hot sunday, but still nice. for tonight showers and thunderstorms ending around 10:00, clearing and cool, low temperatures between 54 and 64. let's

if you factor in the humidity, 108 downtown and 112 in frederick. anything over 105 is kind of dangerous. you need to sort of be careful if you are outside, even if you are doing normal things, you can have problems doing with this type of heat. so, tomorrow. at congressional. an isolated thunderstorm is possible. we'll say 99. maybe wishful thinking. 96 on sunday. better chance of a thunderstorm on sunday. so, here's the deal. the record, we broke two of the three records. we, the record high at national was actually 104. drink lots and lots of water. i mean, more water than you think you need. get out of the full sun and of course eat light meals. digesting when you're hot is very, very hard on your body. what about the outside story? excessive heat warning. that means heat indexes between 110 and 115. we just showed you a bunch at 112. that's why we are under the excessive heat warning until 9:00 tonight. we'll probably see a warning again tomorrow. right now we are under a watch for tomorrow. now in terms of the record, we broke downtown record

and that's a warning for frederick and washington county. we mentioned them outside of the viewing area. this has to move through. the first part of the area will see the storms and that line will be moving into baltimore county. so dangerous thunderstorms moving toward the east. i want to put a storm track on this to give you an idea of how long it's going to take. this is -- going to put a line track on this to show you. this is what's called a bow line last it moves toward the east. charles town 7:13. as it pushes toward the east we'll be watching this but expecting some damaging winds as this line pushes off through the area. we'll continue with the tornado watch that's up until 9:00. everybody is susceptible to seeing a possible tornado until 9:00. then we'll focus it. it's a dangerous line. we're still expect the lightning, damaging winds and large hail during the course of the creaser night. so, again, right now we are still under a tornado threat for just about everybody. as we go into 8:00 we lose the daytime heating and will shift

sue in frederick always sends great pictures. she captures these in frederick. she has a nice area overlooking the horizon. a beautiful picture of a little shower in the distance. and then it turns into a rainbow. thank you for capturing those photographs yesterday. i will have plenty more to share through the morning. there is the sun rise over washington. good morning. nothing but sunshine to start the day, with low humidity. it's just like the past couple morning's with comfortable temperatures in the 50's. low 50's for most of us now. 51 in martinsburg, 52 and gaithersburg, 54 in manassas, 61 at reagan national along the water, 61 at lexington park along the water. 85 at 3:00 p.m. for the high temperature with a good amount of sunshine. mostly sunny with patchy clouds developing. the average high is 82. five days in a row this week the afternoon high temperature was below average. that will change starting today. we were one degree above average yesterday. mid 80's today. low 90's by sunday with a chance of humidity and rain on tuesday. now police and. >> lo

we are looking at carroll county and frederick county points back off to the west. and also to the north, so if you are sliding towards maybe pennsylvania this morning, you are going to be on the wet side and stormy side. thunderstorms are lots of lightning around elizabethtown, york and york springs and nasty storms and all this is liedingaross i-81 as of now. but as you go out, be careful for that. the thunderstorms are moving off towards the north and east atabout 60 miles an hour. biggest threat gusty winds and damaging winds and hail the size of quarters. i will keep you update on this as we go through the rest of the morning in effect until about 5:00. and now we are going to zoom in and talk about the fact well, we have some heat to talk about and we can see the areas shaded in the orange. the heat advisory in effect at 11 until 9:00 this evening. more details coming up but let's check the abc2 timesaver traffic with lauren cook. a littles abouty on my end what does it look like on the roads. >> reporter: we have breaking news where there's a two-alarm fire t

it feels like 100 four in downtown baltimore and the heat index is 107 in frederick. we talked about the heat relief, showers out near chicago are hundreds of miles away so we have to deal with the heat tonight and a good deal of tomorrow as well. the shade helps a little bit in the heat. >> right behind me is this glorious people and your problem wondering -- is this gloriaous pool and you are probably wondering why is empty. we had to turn away some families who were here in their bathing suits. in the meantime, many of us are trying to stay cool by turning up the air conditioners and the ge says they are ready to accommodate. john and his kids know how to beat the blistering heat in their north baltimore home. for thousands of people across maryland, blasting their air conditioner in search of relief may put a tremendous amount of strain on electric grid. officials have activated the emergency conservation program. much like last july when many customers were without air conditioning for hours in an effort for it bge to alleviate the strain on the system. >> it is

the flash flood warning from montgomery county and the district and up towards frederick county. we had a tornado warning in effect until 6:00 here and that has been allowed to expire. very good news there. no longer seeing the rotation from that storm. not going to worry too much about that. what we are going to worry about, the potential for the flash flooding and you can see walkersburg and then farther to the south, look at fairfax county. fairfax county hit very hard and will continue to be hit very hard because these storms down in stafford county moving up. i-95 not a good place to be this evening. if you're thinking about heading out, hey, i'm going to go down to the south or trip to d.c. to try to check out the nationals game. don't try to do that. i'm telling you right now, a very tough time for you along i-95 and then look around fredericksburg, this line of storm has been intensifying and a ton of lightning with these storms and no severe thunderstorm warnings yet but you can almost guarantee you we'll see severe thunderstorm warnings down around this area, too, as bo
