let's get the weather with justin berk. >> 5:30 now. our wake-up window at the bottom of the screen hinting at some flurries. we'll show you that on the radar. we had a band of flurries come through overnight. now sitting to the south of baltimore. crossing the bay bridge to the eastern shore. even salisbury in ocean city getting in on what looks like two streamers, aligned with the wind direction out of the northwest. that is from the source of moisture of lake erie and a little enhancement in the atmosphere to carry some of that stuff just in the form of flurries, nothing is going to accumulate from these on down to the delmarva and out towards the beaches. 26 in ocean city. we're at 26 in baltimore. 24 hagerstown. so not much variation along a very long distance. and wind chills are ranging from the teens to 21 by the beach. we mentioned the beach because it's so unusual to get snow flurries there. but that's the case and we could have more flurries either this morning currently to the south of baltimore and popping up in the afterno

so first, let's go to meteorologist justin berk. >> all right, justin, good morning. >> reporter: we passed high tide three hours ago without flooding so no big deal, right? we are following ocean city 4 to 5 foot waves, 77 degrees and rain. yet another report j. just offshore, 15 to 21 foot waves. now let's show you what the ocean looks like. there is a squall line just offshore. i can tell you that it's actually started to push the water back up. i said the tide was peaking about three hours ago. the water is being pushed ahead of that squall line. occasionally you can see some of waves breaking at 10 feet or so, and we've got some spray you can see the influence of strong winds at the top of some of those waves blowing that basically from north to south. the sea is getting angry. you have to ping-pong your shot in either direction to see the strong waves. fred, go back the or way. we've got one that just broke right there. we have 10 to 12 foot waves coming in. the beach itself here at 18th street is holding up well. we had flooding problems where we lost sand in the 100s yesterda

. >>> first let's get to weather with meteorologist justin berk. >> good morning. 5:59. we're taking a look at headlines. there's a lot to talk about, at least from a weather perspective. first off, it's mild but quite humid as showers build back in. we have a look at some drizzle and some periodic rain as we head in through just this morning alone. and probably continuing into the afternoon. summer is not done yet, even though temperatures pulled back recently. we're back in the mid-90s by mid-week and we could be talking about tropical storm collin, on the verge of naming the third system in the atlantic this season. we'll talk about that in this half-hour. right now maryland's most powerful doppler radar, bel air not there yet but kingsville, perry hall, got some rain and looks as if we've got this stuff pushing around the beltway, cockeysville, towson, downtown baltimore, we've had stretches through glen burnie back in through howard county, ellicott city and columbia. and that trip on 70 could be getting pretty wet as it pushes north towards eldersburg and reisterst
