tomorrow's looking a little bit better. but today you may be dodging the drops just a little bit. first thing this morning, nothing more than a spot or two of drizzle around town. those are headed down towards the inner harbor. so rain chances are highest to the inner harbor. dense fog advisory to winchester along the shenandoah valley. but not much going on around the city of washington just yet. temperatures in the low to mid-60s. 65 in washington. highs today upper 70s to near 80 degrees. so that's in the plus column, for sure. but we will have chances for rain coming up later today. not everyone's going to be hit. highest rain chances will be along into the east of i-95. really annapolis down to southern maryland. high rain chances there. low chances across parts of the i-81 corridor. rain chances near 50%. tomorrow drier weather. we'll talk about that coming up.

puerto rico's healthcare system is on life support... putting three and a half million puerto ricans at risk. it's an outrage.

puerto ricans are us citizens and pay the same medicare taxes, but receive only half the federal healthcare funding as the other 50 states. the headlines tell the story.... "unfair treatment from washington"... "thousands without medications"... "it's a crisis that could imperil the whole economy." president obama must act now to protect care for three and a half million u.s. citizens. before it's too late... changing how you prepare for surgery could help you post-surgery. for years doctors have said not to eat or drink anything the night before an operation.

the idea was to prevent getting sick from anesthesia. but as doreen gentzler reports, doctors are finding fasting could be doing more harm than good. >> reporter: when robert frieze found out he would need to have part of his colon removed he said it wasn't the surgery he was afraid of. >> the concerns were around the interruption of things going on you know, the kids all the activities. you know, i wasn't sure how long it was going to put me out. >> reporter: but what robert didn't realize at the time was that his doctor was using a new approach to help him recover more quickly. something called enhanced recovery after surgery. >> we're doing this to make the patient feel better to get home and to recover quicker. >> reporter: enhanced recovery involves a series of steps before during and after surgery. it includes anesthesia drugs making sure patients are up and walking around after surgery,

and most importantly loading up on carbohydrates before surgery. >> well, we just again looked at all the problems why people were staying in hospital for a prolonged period of time. we looked at starvation and nutrition. and we found there's an impact by starving the body by inhibiting it from receiving things as simple as glucose or carbohydrates. >> reporter: the doctor now has his patients drink 20 ounces of a sports drink like gatorade about two hours before the surgery. that combined with the other measures is helping many the hospital faster. for example, those who have abdominal surgery typically spent five to seven days in the hospital. with this new protocol, they're now leaving after two days. >> there's no reason to starve before surgery. it might not be as appetizing in that you're not going to have a large meal but you're going to be able to drink a carbohydrate

drink that with satiate your appetite. >> reporter: the doctor says robert frieze left the hospital after about three days after the surgery. >> i was just happy to get out of there quicker. >> and that was doreen gentzler reporting. right now doctors at georgetown are using enhanced recovery. but they're finding it can only benefit patients undergoing all types of operations. we're waiting to learn the latest on the condition of a woman who was hit by a flying bat at a baseball game. >> this is a broken bat. bat goes flying into the seats. the ball goes to second. >> so this happened in boston at the redskins/ sox/athletics game last night. the bat hit the woman in the head. she was bleeding heavily, screaming for helps. paramedics rushed out to see if

she's okay. they're not sure yet how serious her injuries are. that's one of the dangers there being part of a sporting event like that. >> it wasn't too long ago -- what was it? a couple weeks ago somebody was hit by a pitch. yeah. and there is a safe net to an extent, but when you're in that front row, i mean, you are vulnerable. >> and stories of pucks going out and hitting folks out of the rink. >> anything can happen. okay. rain not done with us yet, huh? >> not yet. but no washout coming for today. so there's some good news. and the second half of the weekend is looking better than the first. and we'll be back into the upper 80s to near 90 degrees before you can say didn't june start off on a cool note. it was very nice for those of us running around the afternoons. these afternoons have been perfect for running. another good one coming up today too. you will be a chance for rain hit and miss this afternoon. we're off to a generally dry

start this morning. there are a couple of showers out there. and locally dense areas of fog first thing on your saturday morning. but it's a pretty picture over washington this morning. a nice calm finish there on the potomac this morning. 65 at reagan national. have that wind come back around to the north by later on this afternoon. not going to be all that gusty. temperatures now 63 in gaithersburg. baltimore is at 62 this morning. manassas to bristow to culpepper in the upper 50s. and martinsburg as well. heading out to the pool today. well, on the whole, a pretty good pool day. temperatures moving back up near 80 degrees today. as long as you can miss the bit of a rain chance out there not a bad day to be outside. not full sunshine, so you won't necessarily have to worry too much about getting a little sunburn. here's future weather. by noontime, that's when the showers start to get going here. what you're going to notice on

rundell county. everyone has the better rain chance coming up later today. an area here keeps things unsettled. for tomorrow, a cloudy start. then summery weather comes back as we get into the early parts of next week. highs near 80 today with hit and miss shower chances. near 80 tomorrow as well. i think tomorrow will be mostly rain free. thunderstorms are highest monday afternoon and evening. should be out of here by tuesday. we'll be back up near 90 degrees the way everyone likes it in june. >> so a lot of these afternoon activities that are happening later today not worth canceling because not a washout. >> wouldn't cancel it. just hit and miss rain chances. >> the son will like that. it's his birthday party. >> already two? >> already two. where does the time go?

piece in the top and then you put some bricks down so it sits up just a little bit. and then you have to get rid of this. some guys, the men will tell you this, use a hacksaw. and that works, but it's just a bit much. so what i did is i used these clippers and it worked really well. it took no time at all. ta-da. how easy was that? not the prettiest edge, but it did the trick and took me 15 seconds. this is so easy. that goes there. and then you go to the hardware store and you get one of these things. they cost about 2 bucks. they're these flexible drains. you can bend them and do anything you want with it. you know it's easy. just go -- this bends right

down. if it needs to be longer, just adjust it. and ta-da! rain barrel. i have achieved rain barrel. if you don't like the white ones, you can find other styles at your garden center or on the web. you don't have to have a gutter. i have a green one not connected to a down spout. it captures water that rushes off the roof. you're not going to collect every bit of it, but in a good thunderstorm, this thing will fill up. and when you're ready to water your plants you take the hose, go down here and screw it in right here. and there's your spigot. and then you turn it on and the water will rush from this and water your plants. it is just too easy. you know? wendy rieger, news4. >> too easy. and so much fun. i mean who ever knew installing

afternoon. rain chances today highest along and to the east of i-95. now, everyone has a chance, but rain chances will be higher today along to the east of i-95. annapolis and the eastern shore better rain chances there. here's the way future weather handles it. the rush of rain chances here could see showers in the shenandoah valley as well. but with time generally more rain chances will linger into the afternoon along the chesapeake bay and the eastern shore. things should settle back down. and tomorrow is looking like a drier day for sure. earlier this morning here's a couple of lonesome rain drops this morning. these are headed towards i-75 here over the next little bit. that's the only rain chances out there for the next hours or so. rain chances coming back in later on with daytime heating. with the beach weather a lot of folks are cramming all this stuff into the trunk right now to go down to the beach. showers likely along the

coastline today all the way down to ocean city. but better weather for tomorrow and for monday. a little on the cool side though courtesy of this number here. ocean water temperature still only 62 degrees. get into the ocean carefully. it's a little on the chilly side. for tomorrow clouds around to start. but i think sunshine is back by tomorrow afternoon. and then much more typical weather of june comes back after that. near 80 today with hit and miss rain chances. again, you're probably going to have to deal with rain once or twice today. but the odds of you getting any more than 30 to 60 minutes of rain total are fairly low. back up near 90 degrees by wednesday, thursday, friday of next week. so there's a little bit of everything for everyone. >> then those of us who really like it hot. >> yes. not me. >> i'm with you. today you're going to hear the rumble of history on the railroad tracks in manassas. holding its 21st heritage
