direction. i think the light showers best chance to see any of that action will be south and east of the i-95 corridor. i push this lineup just a little farther to the northwest, just in case we get some sprinkles in that direction, but most of us, especially in the interior, are dry tomorrow and we may even get some peeks of the sunshine wondering where the sunshine has gone so this weekend improving more as we get into sunday will take out those showers there just breezy for us with more sunshine in store and chilly temp we do have some more mild weather on the way for the middle of next week, but it comes along with some very wet weather as well. we'll get to more details on that in just a few minutes. >> anchor: 7 news now turns to a pipeline protest. people chaining themselves earlier today to the td bank in downtown crossing voicing concerns about the controversial dakota access pipeline. >> anchor: td bang providing funding. that's why they are there. tip caputo live with more on
