FORECAST-PHC

THIS WEATHERCAST HAS BEEN PREPARED BY THE ABC7 WEATHER STAFF.

FORECAST-WXWALL

BRIEF COOL DOWN TOMORROW

Just like we anticipated Tuesday was sunny, dry, and warmer. That explains our week ahead pretty well, but there will be a couple speed bumps along the way.

The main speed bump will be felt by early Wednesday, as a few light showers will be possible as our next cool front slides through Southwest Florida around 7:30 AM.

The timing of the rain will be close to sunrise Wednesday, but the showers should be gone by the mid-morning hours, leaving us with sunny skies for the remainder of the day. Once the front clears the area, temperatures will stay fairly cool through the day as winds become more northerly behind the front; most areas should only reach the low 70s for daytime highs.

By Wednesday night into Thursday morning, we'll have another round of temperatures in the mid 40s across the urban corridor and even some mid to upper 30s deeper inland.

Thursday will be another cool day with highs only reaching the low 70s under full sunshine, and then we'll spend another night in the 40s and 50s as we head into your Friday morning.

FORECAST-WXWALL

BRIEF COOL DOWN TOMORROW

Just like we anticipated Tuesday was sunny, dry, and warmer. That explains our week ahead pretty well, but there will be a couple speed bumps along the way.

The main speed bump will be felt by early Wednesday, as a few light showers will be possible as our next cool front slides through Southwest Florida around 7:30 AM.

The timing of the rain will be close to sunrise Wednesday, but the showers should be gone by the mid-morning hours, leaving us with sunny skies for the remainder of the day. Once the front clears the area, temperatures will stay fairly cool through the day as winds become more northerly behind the front; most areas should only reach the low 70s for daytime highs.

By Wednesday night into Thursday morning, we'll have another round of temperatures in the mid 40s across the urban corridor and even some mid to upper 30s deeper inland.

Thursday will be another cool day with highs only reaching the low 70s under full sunshine, and then we'll spend another night in the 40s and 50s as we head into your Friday morning.

A STRANGE CASE TONIGHT.

A REAL ESTATE AGENT IN VIRGINIA IS FACING CHARGES FOR STEALING WOMEN'S UNDERWEAR OUT OF HIS CLIENT'S HOME.

IT WAS ALL CAUGHT ON TAPE.

REALTOR STEALING UNDERWEAR-PKG

This is just creepy.

Take a look at this home surveillance video. Arlington Police say it shows 60 year old real estate agent, Stephen Brumme, walking in a bedroom. The suspect steals women's under garments from a home, he's supposed to have shows to potential buyers two weeks ago.

"Can you describe your emotions after you saw the suspect on your surveillance video? Really. My emotions were anger because it's going through our personal belongings."

The homeowner installed motion activated web cameras when he and his wife went out of town.

He looked at the video after after his wife's underwear items went missing. You can see the suspect search through drawers, finally finding what he's looking for. Police say he also stole several clothes from closets.

"She's upset that her personal space was violated, basically, for somebody else's deviance."

"How unusual is this? It's the first I've seen something of this nature."

Police arrested Stephen Brumme. Tonight he's out on bail. We notice he's wearing a wedding ring in the video, Maybe the suspect stole underwear for his wife or a relative. We tried to get answers at his house in Silver Spring Maryland.

"We're just trying to get his side of the story. Perhaps you know something about this? I have no comment. Is he a thief that steals women's undergarments ma'mm. I have no comment."

Police believe this isn't Brumme's first underwear heist, and there could be more under the realtor radar.
