00:00This weekend, we're going to be a lot warmer for the second leg of the Triple Crown.
00:05We're talking about the Preakness, and this year it's going to be held in Laurel, Maryland,
00:09instead of at Pimlico due to an ongoing construction project.
00:13Regardless, temps are going to be up.
00:15It will turn more humid, though, and this time of the year when the humidity sneaks up,
00:19we begin to think about the potential for some spotty thunderstorms around.
00:23Now, the best chance for showers and thunderstorms on Saturday afternoon and in the early evening
00:28will generally be south and west of Laurel, more in Virginia, parts of West Virginia.
00:33We're going to have to keep an eye out on radar, though,
00:36because there's potential for a stray shower or storm to potentially nose in close to Baltimore, D.C.
00:41and the Laurel area around post-time, most likely farther south and west.
00:46There will be a lot of clouds. It will be a lot warmer out there.
00:48So at midday in Laurel Park, we're looking at around 79 degrees, a lot of clouds out there.
00:554 p.m., the AccuWeather Real Field temperature will be around 83.
00:58We're forecasting a mostly cloudy sky, peaks of sun at 81,
01:02and a good deal of cloud cover into the evening.
01:04Post-time is at 6.50 p.m.
01:06We expect to be right around 77 degrees.
