the north, it has nothing to do with harvey. we've got a cold front to the north, you can see a couple of showers associated with it. the big deal the colder air that's going to be behind it. and then we turn to harvey, you can see it spinning, some strong storms out ahead of it in towards the parts of the southeast. this storm system has the potential and his had -- tornado watch in the yellow. numerous warnings, i can see it right here there, we've seen a couple of tornados and damage in this area. it's flash flooding and a tornado threat in that region. eventually it moves to us. when does it do that. first, as i mentioned. we have the cold front, here it is to the north, 7:00 through the night. watch out, here you go around 10, 11:00. there are some showers coming through ahead of that front they push down to the south and bring in the northerly winds and really bring in some cooler numbers. tomorrow is going to be raw day across our region. we may get a mix of sun, a little b

sunshine count yourself lucky, i don't expect much of it. here comes harvey. here comes the rain from harvey, saturday morning, 9:00, most of this is light rain. i expect to see some of that light rain just about all day off and on on saturday, heaviest rain right now, looks like it will be dc to the south. some locations picking up over half an inch to the rain. there will be periods, still a good idea to take the umbrella. if you have plans to be out on saturday, outdoors. sunday is going to be the better day. if you're thinking what day may be better, going to be sunday. still seeing shower activity around the region. down there towards the beaches. if you're headed towards the beaches watch out. high of only 68. cloudy and cool. late day showers will become likely tomorrow night. it will be on the cool side. we're talking about another storm. it is irma. went from a tropical storm to hurricane quickly. now, take a look at it

the atlantic. look at the eye, i think this is a category 3 storm. the latest advisory, however, came out of the 11:00, the next one comes down, had winds of 100 miles. that's a category two, now, it's expected to become a category 4 hurricane as it makes it's way towards the island. the lesser antilles and possibly close to puerto rico. it could go to main and could go to texas, a lot to look at, guys, this is going to be 7 to 10 days of watching this. so i don't want you to take anything that you've heard, oh, it's going to hit the east coast, oh it's going to hit the gulf coast. we'll continue to watch this for you and i'll give you the latest as we continue to get here in the storm center. umbrellas, yeah, you'll need them. much nicer on sunday and monday, labor day, looking good. with more on what you can expect for your labor day weekend, lauren joins me at 4:45. >> thank you so much. new ta

>>. now, at 4:30, new video from the coast guard, crews taking an ax to the roof of a home, breaking in to rescue the people inside. this video is from beaumont texas, that city just lost its water supply, forcing the evacuation of a hospital earlier today. while in houston, door to door searches continue to make sure nobody is stuck in their homes. the federal government is promising to get people back on their feet. fema working on a plan to house tens of thousands who lost their homes and congress voting on a hurricane aid package, we think, by next week. here is a look at another water rescue today. in this case, 78-year-old matt was stuck in a tractor. you can see it right there, that became submerged in high water, fortunately, though, emergency crews got him just

boat and we hear he is doing okay. whur troy johnson is here with today's talk around town. we are all comparing this to katrina. we're hearing this is actually the largest u.s. rescue -- rescue effort by the red cross in u.s. history. what are your listeners saying. is it triggering a lot of katrina memories, as well. >> you hit it right on the head. 12 years ago we were locked in front of our televisions watching this amazing history unfold in front of us. a devastating history unfold in front of us. and, again, here we are in the same place. think about this fact. there's enough rain that has fallen on texas to fill the chesapeake bay. >> unbelievable. >> and we're talking about a swamp of land that will cover the distance between new york and boston, a huge area, so many people effected by this storm and listeners are saying that, you know, after they remember what happened to the super dome where people were route

many people died in that situation. they're happy, at this point, that we aren't seeing anything like that, fortunately, at this point. i spoke to renee who went to school in new orleans. now she lives in dc and she told me the sight of the flood waters in houston brought back a lot of memories for her, especially the struggle that many friends of her endured in katrina. this time she tells me the aftermath of harvey feels different. >> when i see the images of the people working together, it really shows that through all the devastation, humanity really shines through. you saw people of different ethnicities, of different ages, of different backgrounds all working together towards a common goal. and that goal was to just make it out of their homes to safety. and so i hope that when people see images like that, they are encouraged and i hope it

people together. >> now, renee tells me she expects houston and southeast texas, she expects they'll recover. even with her optimism. she believes it's going to be a tough road for african-americans, that's why the federal government's response is really going to be important to this whole thing. >> let's talk about that. the president was there this week and vice president pence is there right now. what are your listeners saying about the white house response so far, good, bad, indifferent. >> a wait and see, mode, mr. trump has been to texas. what i heard from folks they were concerned they didn't really end that moment didn't really address the people who had been effected by the storm. the president is expected back this weekend, mr. pence, is in rockport today, one of the hard hit areas and folks were telling me that was good to see. there was a sense of some people i spoke to, a sense of disconnect. they haven't, yet, seen the consoler in chief. they've seen president bush, president obama in similar situations where you had

devastation, where you had this situations. they were on the ground and they were putting their arms around people and you haven't seen that yet. they're hoping that mr. trump will do something similar and something much more personal. >> i think we saw that with the vice president. >> he was touching and holing people's hands. >> that's important. >> from what i heard from people, they want to hear and see somebody who is really in there and understanding what they're going through. >> you know, getting back to katrina, we learned a lot from katrina and how to respond in the past 12 years. but your listener had to leave so many people had to leave new orleans and had to spread out and they couldn't go back. >> that's right. >> i wonder what's doing to happen to the hundred thousand and how many people in houston are in the texas area that may not be able to ever rebuild. they may not be able to go home. >> and when you look at it. this is just the beginning of this catastrophe. in the grand scheme of things just the beginning. katrina, people were displaced. they couldn't come back to new orleans, some people are still building their homes

orleans. i spoke to a woman from dc who lives in houston about an hour ago. she said it was easy for her to apply to fema. she got her fema online, but interacting with a human being is a whole other story. the waters are receding. she went into her home. she told me she walked into her garage, five feet, six inches of water is where the water mark, that's how tall she is. >> oh my goodness. >> it's really going to start hitting home for a lot of people. when they finally get -- >> thank you so much. thanks, troy. >> we appreciate it. >> well, a donation, as small as just $10 can make a difference of people in the gulf who need base basic supply. search harvey help on our nbc washington app. >> let's get an update to see what harvey is going to bring as the remnants of that storm that reach us as early as late this evening, early tomorrow morning. >> probably tomorrow night. we've got something else that's going to hit us first. you can see the showers up arou

front drips through tonight. behind it we see winds out of the north northeast. that's going to be during the cooler air. and then the remnants of harvey move in tomorrow night into the day on saturday and that, too, will be quite nasty as we are expecting a lot of shower activity. one thing we're not going to see is what we're seeing down around memphis. flash flooding, tornados for us. this storm will be a memory, as far as the strength in it once had. we're not going to see much at all. scattered shower activity. coming up at 4:45. we're going to break it down for you. what are you expecting this weekend. if you've got plans, we've got you covered, we'll take you day by day and show you what to expect. >> the redskins arriving for the final preseason game in tampa. >> a lot on the line, sherree is live at the stadium and she's in an interesting spot, sherree. >> hey, guys. >> reporter: yes, we are here in tampa for the buccaneers game. this is, definitely, a chang

scenery, you can say, compared to what we're use to at fedex field and the team is going to have to play in the shadow of this pirate ship. in 1998 in this entire part of the stadium is made to look like a 19th century pirate village. during the game, the cannons you see here go off once, six times from the bucks score a touchdown. here at the stadium, not too long ago. quarterback kirk cousins, he won't be seeing any action tonight. he's focused on week one, dj square showing off this style. tonight's game a dress rehearsal for the backups hoping to make this roster, in the roster trimmed from 90 players down to 53 on saturday. so if we showed you these cannons, hopefully these guys out here keep those quiet. you have to take a look up on the pirate ship, a beautiful view and you see the team actually warming up ahead of tonight's game. we'll have a lot more headed your way at

more 24,000 current and smokers and discovered they were more than twice as likely to quit. the odds of quitting increased, the more they used the e cigarettes. the success rate was highest amongst smokers who used e cigarettes five days in the previous month. >> but as summer comes to a close, many have made travel plans for the holiday season, but did you look too soon. 6 million americans are their airlines tickets and another 8 million have made their hotel reservations. but they say the early birds may not have gotten the best deals. their new report says the best time to buy christmas tickets is in early october and thanksgiving prices typically remain stable. >> helping the people effected by harvey is as simple as dining out. we're going to show you some of our local restaurants or giving some of the profits to the people along

should be a okay, then we turn our attention -- a lot of tornado warnings in parts of alabama and mississippi, this storm will move our way. for us, it's going to be a rain event and this is what you can expect tomorrow and really tomorrow, that's from the frontal boundary. look at the cool temperatures, high of 85 today. tomorrow, 15 to 20 degrees cooler, 64 at 9:00 a.m. 67 by noon. 68 by 4:00. not going to be very nice at all. chance of showers tomorrow evening. as i mentioned you're not going to be sitting outside tonight. we've been racking our brains trying to figure out exactly what you need to know for your weekend. >> doug and i were talking earlier. people getting married this weekend. it's a big weekend for that, obviously, with that day off on monday for labor day. if you're sticking around this region, if you can see, this is a forecast for possibly wedding or if you've got outdoor plans. it is going to be wet and
