through rts of southeast, parts of northeast. right through the downtown area. i'll zoom on in he it's right along the mall. that's where we're seeing some of the heaviest rain through the downtown area. so here it is 11:00. you have some people coming from a night out, hope they brought the umbrella. hey're going t get wet out there for sure. the rest of the area seeing the severe weather we saw earlier mo off. we have another frontalun bory here and towards the west. this is what i'm tracking overnight. it's getting closeto our area. so tomorrow morning, 7:00 a.m., d.c., southward, looking dry. around frederick, hagerstown, winchester, you have some showers. just shower activity. not expecting stormsrl ea by noon, we'll break out into sunshine, i think. tht, more sun we the better chance we have for storms. temperatures in the 80s. here'00. you want to see a repeat of

today? the best cance today will be west and north of the city. i think tomorrow up around frederick county, loudoun county, towards berkeley, jefferson county, frederick y, countvirginia, has the best chance for some of that severe weather tomorrow. and the front comes through on friday night. so here we are at 10:00. a little bit of a break, and then another round comes through with some heavy rain once again, heaviest to the north and west of the city. south and east you're not going to seeuite asmuch. and then saturday this morning, starting off nothing but sunshine out there. some clds and fog. saturday afternoon, maybe an isolated shower, but most of at sday, really looking good. i think saturday is going to be the pick of the weekend for sure. only 30% chance of a shower. 73 on sunday. sunday a good chance for ra . plain old rain coming up on that would be during the morning

hours for sure into the early afternoon. 77 on monday. monday looks great. and look at tuesday and wednesay, a high of 82. that's the afternoon high for may 3rd -- orrd june 3 rather, not may 3rd. i was making a point and i mesd it up. >> everybody wants to get ou and plant tho flowers saturday. >> for sure. it.got thank you, doug. they got the game in tonight, doug. and steven strasburg makes e history as th nats look to end their slide. >> sports is next. but first here is jimmy fallon. >> ryan reynolds is my guest tonight. music

philly tomorrow. >> sst when thing started looking good for the nationals, the nationals win this game, but one of their coaches losesis job. the pitching coach was fired immediately following tonight's game. could this be the start to more coaching changes to come? washington's pitching is some of the worst in baseball,er start and bullpen included, this comes on the heels of a historic outing from one of their inarters. a delay of over 2 1/2 hours started this one off. but steven strasburg was ready. eight strikeouts. first batter of the game, he strikes out colton wong. to the 4th, cards up 1-0. this catches carpenter looking. that's strikeout six. bottom of the inning, two on and no outs for gomes. he takes this to short. munoz bobbles it, then his throw is off the bag at first. score.cks comes in to an error for munoz. nats tie it.

brian dozier gives them the lead with an rbi groundout in the next at- t. nats up2-1.ng faci the cardspi cher. strasburg becomes the quickest pitcher in mlb historyo t reach 1500 career strikeouts. keep that ball. in the eighth, shawn doolittle with the bases loaded. this strikeoutends the inning. nationals hold on t win 2-1, snapping their three-game skid. after the game, an explanation on the firing, which took place right after the game. w didn't make this move in a day orweeks. so this was something tat davy and myself have been keeping our finger on the pulse. >> i think at this point, we wanted a new voice. a new face. needless to say, we've got some

good pitchers. but we have to get beer. >> even with the postgame news, let's not forget about steven strasburg, making history. stthe faste to ever reach 1500 strikeouts. he'sat above some gre names there, pedro martinez, randy johnson just toname a few. han accomplishments teammates are in awe of. >> i think that's so cool. i can't even imagine 1500 strikeouts as a one inning reliever. that's such a huge number for me. i'm having trouble wrapping my head around it. but for all he's been through, the expectations he came into this organization with, some of the injuries he's dealt with, i'm happyto for him get a milestone like this at home. he's pitching really well right now. >> madeit worthwhile for that rain delay. big ten tournament in lacrosse. john hopkins taking on the terrapins. terps up 4-2.

jared burnhart firing and scores, two goals in the game r him. maryland up 5-2. in the fourth, the blue jays battle back. this is in the back of the net. hopkins takes the lead and they beat maryland 17. next up, they'll face penn state in the big ten championship. my producer is excited about the penn state actio but feels for maryland on this one. >> a high scoring g alright boys, time for bed. listen to your mom, knuckleheads. hand et over. hand whaover? video games, whatever you got. let's go. you can watch vide of people playing video games in the morning. is that everything? i can see who's online. i'm gonna sweep the sofa fort. well, look what i found.
