understanding. >> police still had to make arrests there. about six people last night. in a separate rally another group supported the officer who shot brown saying the shooting was justified. tomorrow family and friends will say a final good-bye to brown. president barack obama is sending three white house leaders to the funeral. the reverend al sharpton will deliver the eulogy. the service will happen at the friendly temple missionary church in st. louis at 11:00 a.m. we've seen these pictures of police using armored military vehicles in ferguson during the unrest. now president obama is ordering a review of the federal program that provides military equipment to local police departments. the review will look into whether the program are appropriate they will check on the training provided for using the equipment. investigators will also audit the money used to buy the military equipment. later today the naacp will hold a prayer vigil for the fa family of michael brown and the city of ferguson.

could potentially anyway get a little bit closer to the virginia capes by yeah labor day weekend unfortunately. outside on your sunday morning, our weather picture is an improving one for sure. we started out with a lot more clouds than this. now it's turning into a fair amount of sunshine over downtown washington. friendly fair weather cumulus clouds out there today. no chance for rain in the metro. could have a sprinkle or two in the shenandoah valley. temperatures at 73 at nashville airport. the northeast wind which normally is problematic for us from a cloud cover persptive bringing in drier air. the drier air will win but it's going to take the longest to get out to the west. reston town center still full cloud cover out there even though much of the western shore of the chesapeake bay is bathed in sunshine. fort meade 70, gaithersburg, rockville 68, 66 leesburg, 64 in winchester. your sunday afternoon looks good. partly to at times mostly cloudy skies but with more sunshine as the afternoon wears along, there is a chance for a sprinkle or

two west of the metro. your rain chances for today. not much of a threat here in the metro and even where there's a little low chance, don't expect much of an interruption here. just that east to northeasterly wind, sometimes banks up against the front of the blue ridge and brings out a random sprinkle or two. our future weather forecast, it's trying to imply here a little hint of a shower threat, central and southern parts of the shenandoah valley that will wane with time. by later this afternoon even that will be gone. skies will clear out tonight and it will be a quiet start back to work and school tomorrow morning. storm team 4 radar no rain in our area just yet. not expecting any today. nearest rain drops to our south and even much farther to the south puerto rico. saw the video of the flooding in puerto rico. what is tropical storm cristobal has formed the center way down here on the lower parts of the caribbean. the forecast track from the national hurricane center by tuesday, about equal at the same

latitude as miami, florida. by wednesday, off the coast of cape canaveral well off the coast, several hundred miles it looks like. things really get interesting by thursday, friday, the computer models are hinting at the right-hand turn, the right hook to take it away from here. the center line of the forecast cone is well offshore but any time you get any part of the forecast cone to touch the coastline, that means we need to watch it really, really carefully and that's what we'll be doing especially because of the timing of it. it wouldn't be able to impact the mid-atlantic until the thursday/friday time frame into labor day weekend. back to school tomorrow morning. temperatures in the mid to upper 60s. after a 64 degree start your monday planner looks good. full sunshine all the way through the day tomorrow. and if you're planning a trip down to the beach the next couple days near perfect beach weather starts today and continues all week long. so if you're not going back to school but going back to the beach, vacation well chosen.

presidential waters looks more like she's sizing up for a somersault. a book tour with news interviews, check, distancing herself in small or big ways from her party's unpopular president yes, heading next month to iowa which traditionally holds the first presidential nominating contest, you bet. what's significant about all of this activity democrats say is the more she walks and talks like a presidential candidate, which effectively freezes out any other democrats even contemplating a run the more difficult it becomes to turn around and say no. as one democratic strategist tells nbc news a no has to come earlier than a yes. the question is timing, of course. some democrats believe she has until next year to state she's not running. others believe it should be coming before or after the midterm elections. bottom line, democrats want a clear answer sooner rather than later.

temperatures sits at 73 degrees, northeast wind at 8 miles per hour, east to northeast winds are usually problematic. like i said the air off the water is actually a little drier than the air mass we had in place. hopefully that will spell a lot more sunshine by later on today. it could be a long struggle uphill for our friends and neighbors in the higher terrain to get to the sunshine. mid to upper 60s now in the shenandoah valley. front royal 68, luray at 70 degrees, 72 in fredericksburg. hourly temperatures today most neighborhoods in and around the immediate metro will at least touch 80 degrees for a short time. most of the day long spent in the mid to upper 70s. perfect day for baseball. 1:35 first pitch between the giants and the nationals. a mix of clouds and sunshine but no threat for rain at today's baseball game. temperatures will rise all the way to the last out. future weather forecast around here today, here's the reason i think there could be a random sprinkle or two.
