you will be dealing with rain chances later on today. but for now we're off to a mostly dry start. there's the view from over downtown. beautiful day to be outside so far. and rain chances today yes, they're there. but they're not the kind of rain that's going to ruin your whole day. these are going to be quick passing showers we'll deal with this afternoon. and no severe weather expected either. so just rain. 69 degrees at national airport right now. temperatures are definitely on their way up. 64 gaithersburg. 67 in baltimore. lees burg ashburn in the mid-60s now. your running forecast there you go. a nice mild start. temperatures in the 70s pretty much all day long today so that is good running weather for sure. could be dealing with a chance for showers later on though. here's the way our high resolution model picks up on the rain. chance for shower in the bay bridge here in the next couple minutes. with daytime heating, there's a lot of moisture in the

atmosphere. it won't take much to bubble these up. notice how hit and miss the rain chances are. these are not the prolonged rain chances. these are just coming and going. by noon, chances for showers in the shenandoah valley in the metro. most of the rain is going to be basically south of root 50 going into southern maryland. and the rain chances will linger longest along i-95. if you're going out on the bay today, you might actually get rained on two or three separate occasions. rain chances again go down with time. especially the farther west you live or travel with the course of the day progressing. so then there's your rain chances for today. everyone has a chance, but more sustained rain chances today east of i-95. rain chances timing it out, small chances of rain this morning. but by 2:00 this morning you saw on future weather. here's that chance for hit and miss showers. most of them peaking about 2:00 and 5:00. then drying out once again. if you're going out to celebrate

fairfax today, fireworks show should be rain free. though i can't rule out the grass being a little wet at first. so there's that one little shower right there along the river headed down towards annapolis. that's really just about it for right now. then for tomorrow, if you're making the trip down to the beach, tomorrow's going to be the better pool and beach day no matter where you are. whether you're here locally or going down the coastline, showers at the beaches likely for today. so if your friends left you at home for the weekend like they did me it's raining on them today. then for tomorrow, chilly but dry weather and a little breezy as well at the coastline. for us today, we'll start out with clouds. but i think we'll ends up with a fair amount of sunshine for tomorrow. and that is going to be the prettier day this weekend. what about the seven-day forecast? what about summertime? what about 90 degrees? when do we get back to that? not long everybody. it's june in washington. we should be back to 90 degrees or better by thursday of this upcoming week. our best chance for rain is a little shower chance today.

our best chance for thunderstorms is monday afternoon and monday evening. but compared to the long cloudy, cool stretch of weather we've had since tuesday, it's going to feel and look a lot different around here next week. >> wow. it's made it a long week with that kind of weather. >> it was good running weather though, i'll tell you. got extra miles in. >> clearing out just in time for celebrate fairfax. angie pointed out to me during your forecast, she actually had four deep fried oreos last year. >> yeah. >> did you save any for anyone else? >> because he said he never had one. i was like, you are missing out. but don't eat four. because it's one of these things where you're eating it and you're like this is heaven and then all of a sudden, you're like, i feel ill. but it was worth it. >> i'll just go with one. >> i don't want even know what to say to that. four oreos deep fried. >> you don't have to say anything. mental health american wrapped up their annual

on american pharoah as it turns out. that's something that has been a problem for triple crown contenders through the last 40 years or so, having these fresh horses come in after they've run both races and will run all three. so it'll be interesting to see if that plays a part. of course the hype all the talk coming into this and the pressure of doing what no horse has done for almost 40 years. should be a fantastic day at the track. and of course you can only see it right here on nbc. back to you. >> certainly going to make for great television. thanks so much, jay. >> as jay mentioned, you can catch all of the action today from belmont park only right here on nbc4. the coverage starts at 4:30 this afternoon. a lot of folks looking forward to what should be an exciting race. >> so american pharoah? you guys all in? >> my money's on frosted. it's a weather term. that's how i pick it.

>> no triple crown then. >> i know. it's just exciting for the sport for all of us. so weatherwise it looks like we're not out of the clouds just yet. going to be a little bit of rain. >> yeah. we're off to a dry start. the kind of rain we're facing today, it's not those long period of soak rains that ruin your day. it's those 15 30-minute long rain showers. >> well, that's going to do it for news4 today. but you've got something coming up. >> that's right. let's go to cuba. join me next for
