welcome back, everyone. jessica kartalija, here at the national aquarium. i want to remind you, it is members night here. and i want you to come out and check the black reef tip exhibit. for more on the weather forecast, meteorologist tim williams is standing by live outside, with wjz's mobile weather lab. but first, we're going to send it inside to bob. we had the rain move through the region. it's now cleared the city for the most part. up to the north/northeast around harford county. moving quickly out towards northeastern sections. from madonna toward delta. that's where it's headed. from the city on south and west, it has pretty much cleared out. tim is live downtown. with a look at tomorrow's forecast. tim? >> reporter: well, folks are finally starting to come out. it's starting to clear out. then here, as bob mentioned, timing is everything. those showers are moving on through. could see another round tomorrow. we start tomorrow in the low

70s. we'll go up to a daytime high in the mid-80s. again, showers potentially through the afternoon, back down into the 70s again for tomorrow night. folks coming down here, expecting to see justin timberlake and jay z. i think they were a little confused. but they are going out to the concert now. for the next five days, sending it in to bob. >> tim, you can come out now. it's okay. 87. showers and storms tomorrow. could be heavy downpours, flooding areas. possibly tomorrow. 88, looks like saturday afternoon, we begin to dry out. warm up a little bit. down in the 60s. so it gets a little dryer. looks like a pretty decent day on sunday. but monday and tuesday, slight chance of a scattered shower or thundershower, each and every afternoon. monday, tuesday, into early income week, actually. for the beach, looks like a lot of sun tomorrow. maybe a shower. but the best chance comes on saturday. and maybe still a risk on sunday. temperatures around 80 or 81, 82. water temperature, at around 71

ring and a new mega millions contract. but he'll be throwing passes to some unfamiliar receivers, counting on guys like newly acquired visan shenko and untested. and tight end dennis pitta is out with a hip injury. >> you love those guys when they're here. and it's pretty easy to realize the fact that they're not here. what are you going to do about it? you gotta move on. and like i said, we've got a lot of talented players out there. i think we feel really good about what we have to do. and we're just excited to do it. >> he expects to see flacco in tampa bay tonight. but backup tirod taylor. flacco told me, he's looking forward to getting hit in a game. the ravens would rather he not in a game that doesn't count. kickoff coming up at 7:30. it is a day of rest for the baseball birds. orioles have flown from san diego to san francisco after

they won two from the padres. they're going to open a weekend series with the giants in san francisco tomorrow night. now, the giants won the world series last year. but their world has since collapsed. they're in last place. and the o's will try to keep them there. former orioles mark reynolds was out of a job. he was designated for assignment today by the cleveland indians. he was under a one-year contract for $6 million. had a hot start. but then reynolds has struggled to the part they let him go. he hit 60 home runs in his time here. speculation abounds now about the o's maybe bringing reynolds back as a designated hitter. he did help the o's break a 14- year play-off drought last season. tiger woods hasn't enjoyed a major golf round. enjoying a round in the pga championship near rochester, new york. woods birdied this hole but had two birdies and finished pretty poorly. here, double bogey on the final hole. tiger woods, first round of the

pga round championship. one over par 71. that is six shots behind the leader. jim furyk here with a 40-foot birdie putt on the hole. part of 5 under par 65 for furyk. tied for top spot, whose day ended after 10 rolls. about half the field yet to finish that first round. and there's rain, we hear as well, down at tampa bay. so we'll see how that affects the ravens tonight. >> they'll play it through. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
