no rain no clouds and what we did see was a few clouds during the day today and as we widen out, we've got one storm system moving off the coast and another one coming down from canada and yet another one down towards the south. these are the two that i'm watching. these two here will actually be coming together and as they do they will be moving right into the region. here's the storms one towards the great lakes and one towards the gulf of mexico and the first storm, this one back towards the west is an upper area of low pressure. that's the one that will give us the most rain. most of that may be to the west before transferring the energy off to the coast. this coastal low, maybe a nor'easter but not going to be that strong. we're not going to see that much from this one. however, we could see a rather breezy friday. cooler temperatures for sure, and, yeah rain likely i think on both days. let's take a look at future weather here. one of the trends that we've been seeing with this. the upper level low back to the west. look at the rain at noon and back to the west and even all day. we see showers around the metro area but most of them to the west of i-95.

11:26 pm
with the way the nats started this thing tonight. bott tomorrow four. tanner rock on the mound. braves with a 9-2 lead. a.j. pierzynski lines one past uggla and into right center. four rbi in the game for pierzynski. braves up 10-2. but then a former brave came back to haunt his old club dan uggla. nats down four. the second baseman takes it deep to right center. off the wall. two runs come in to score. uggla into third for the two-run triple. his second triple of the night. nats pull within two runs. so here we are in the night. uggla not done. two on and 2-2 count, a three-run home run for uggla gives the nats a 13-12 lead. five rbi and eight runs. look at that bro hug. bring it in. that was the largest comeback in nats history. >> wow. >> they win it 13-12.
