but exactly where that rain sets up nearly impossible. it justen so happ that today the rain fell in very similar places as yesterday. friday is looking gorgeous. saturday is looking really nice too. some good news. sunday is looking mainly dry. we did have some storms in the forecast yesterday for sunday. not the case anymore. you can see noefrn virginia now mainly dry. still rain impacting parts of mmaryland. so light showers out there even in parts of the district. this is future weather. storm at noon notice we're seeing some sunshine out there. and namely dry conditions. i think most of the daytime tomorrow's going to be completely dry. i know a lot of kids are out of school. you want to go to the playground. b think you're going tofine especially during the morning, midday and afternoon hours. once we hit 3:00 p.m. we'll see some thunderstorms and showers develop. we'll be dry around the d.c.

metro area around 6:00 or 7:00 at night. once we hit 6:00 or 7:00 p.m. notice the color showing up. that's the potential for some very heavy rainfall to be moving through the area. at 11:00 p.m. still some showers out there. and then overnight we dryout, only to go through the same song and dance again on thursday. a high tomorrow of 84 degrees. we'll have a mix of clouds and sunshine with storms most likely during the evening hours. just a chance for storms through 4:00 p.m. right now our temperatures are generally in t low 70s after a high today of 88 degrees at reagan national. so again, if you're heading to the pool tomorrow o the earlier the better because these storms really favor the late afternoon and evening hours. better chance for severe storms on thursday versus wednesday. friday it's breezy, ini's e, it's beautiful, and we're going to really appreciate that after a high on thursday of 91. 84 on y.frida saturday we lose the wind but keep low humidity levels with plenty of sunshine, highs in the mid 80s. upper 80s on sunday.

maybe an isolated late-day forecast. really looking forwe nice her. only to head back into the nooifrnlt90s onditions and some storms. >> keep our heads down and hold on until friday. >> we're in summer in washington. >> thanks-a meelia. >> tum coming up the news all nats fans feared and it wasn't l're the slowskys. weike drip coffee, layovers- -and waiting on hold. what we don't like irelying on fancy technology for help.
