flavored chewing gum. so i wanted to share the birthday cake gum with you when doing the weather since you drift off and don't pay attention. >> hey, no. >> it's going to rain and storm today, right? >> no coming up today. thank you everybody on my twitter and facebook feeds for the wishes. it's a cloudy way to get the day started right now. but it's already 70 degrees at the airport. these clouds are going to be with us here for the next little while, but there are already indications they are starting to break up just to our west. here we go. here's why we can't keep the tie. you can just about see the numbers right through the tie there. so we're going to try. we're going to keep the tie as best we can. temperatures right now across the area. 65 degrees in rockville. 66 at dulles airport. 66 also in leesburg. 71 now in huntingtown. overall the weather impact on your day is going to be nice and low. there are a lot of clouds. there's been mist and drizzle

reported around as well. it's not going to add up to anything but you might have to swipe the wipers once or twice. we'll jump into the low 80s. that's where we're going to have most of the afternoon today. the clouds have banked up on the front range of the blue ridge mown tins. right there. that's the spine of the blue ridge. it's full sunshine the western maryland and much of the shenandoah valley. so these clouds will break up. there's not much if anything in the way of an organized rain chance. if you're headed to nats ballpark, temperatures will be hovering right around 80 degrees at gametime. need a win over the braves as well. so clouds breaking up today. not much of a rain chance. could be one of two spot showers here. or along the eastern shore as well. but by and large, not much of a rain threat for today or for tonight. clouds may thicken up again tonight. we could be off to a cloudy foggy misty start. but tomorrow afternoon looks great. big weather events going on all over the place.

winter storm warnings in colorado and parts of wyoming. what's going to be a very busy severe weather day across parts of oklahoma and kansas. not much rain just out to our west. keeping a close eye, tropical storm ana here drifting towards the carolina coastline. won't have much of an impact on our weather today or tomorrow. but as this comes on shore, it will get dragged up northbound. rain chances going up monday, monday night, into tuesday. might want your weather app ready to go just to play it safe. for tomorrow better chance of showers bubbling up tomorrow afternoon because it will be just a little bit warmer. and again rain chances up higher monday night into tuesday. here's that seven-day then. tomorrow 85 for mother's day. near 90 on tuesday. that will be our best chance for rain. that is ahead of a strong cold front which changes the seasons from summer back to spring. >> all right. thank you, chuck. well what is your message to mom on this mother's day? the unfiltered words from some second graders to their moms. th

hopefully this isn't news to you, but mother's day is tomorrow. and children everywhere have no doubt have been trying to find just the right words to thank their moms. >> and a group of second graders took on the challenge. they grabbed the pen, they grabbed the paper and now you probably want to grab the tissues. here's nbc's harry smith.

complicated? >> i ended up with one -- and this is what she would say. i don't give a rat's [ bleep ] if you don't want to eat the peas you eat the peas. that's what she would say. >> reporter: in the class the tone was more poetic do you love your mom? >> so much. >> reporter: really? what do you think about when you think about your mom? >> well i think about rose buds. >> reporter: why? >> because they're sweet like her. >> reporter: while we all wish we could be as eloquent as daniel truth is most moms we know would be satisfied with this. >> happy mother's day mom! >> reporter: harry smith, nbc news, new york. >> those are some precious kids right there. coming up next join us for a special program. the women of news4 and myself we honor our mothers. catch our show "from our mothers, 4 our mothers."
