Sure, we're looking at another weekend of showers and thunderstorms. But forecasters say the next cold front won't get here until Sunday. Saturday should start out just fine, with a high in the mid-70s and at least partly sunny skies. The showers and thunderstorms aren't due until Saturday night, after 9 p.m..

Today looks even better. Got the day off? Good for you. Too bad for me. You can expect highs topping 80 degrees in the Baltimore area, with plenty of sunshine.

For me, it's highs (and lows) around 75 degrees, with plenty of fluorescent light. If we ever get our Sun weather station data online (after 21 months of pleading; Send help!), you'll be able to click to monitor the temperature and humidity - on my desk in the Sun newsroom, as well as all the conditions outside on the Big Shots' parking lot. What fun, right?  Actually, it would be one of the more detailed and accurate data points for downtown Baltimore.

So how are we doing on the drought front? No change from last week, according to the Drought Monitor map released yesterday. Have a look here. Folks on the lower Eastern Shore are still looking at dry to moderate drought conditions. Northern and Central parts of the state are doing just fine.

The Baltimore Department of Public Works reports today that the three reservoirs serving the city's water customers are now at 92 percent of capacity. Loch Raven is full; Prettyboy stands at 92 percent of capacity, and Liberty is at 89 percent. And there's more rain due.

Here's the radar image showing the big low swirling counter-clockwise in the middle of the county. The arc of clouds sweeping off the southeast of the center of the low is the stormy cold front that kicked up tornadoes yesterday in Oklahoma. Very cool video here.

The same front will bring us the clouds and rain on Sunday. North and west of the low, the storm dropped some May Day snow in Colorado. Here's a video clip.
