strong thunderstorms. some of which could even become severe after 2:00 o'clock tomorrow and it looks like there may be a shower maybe a thunderstorm for the first part of the day too for the morning hours. not for everybody. definitely looks like the strongest of the thunderstorms come in tomorrow afternoon tomorrow evening. more hunter storms possible on sunday high temperatures 80. memorial day, yeah, another chance a few more storms possible. we're not looking at a wash out. or anything like that for the weekend just kind of a summertime trend coming our way. 71 at 11am. 75 at 2:00 o'clock today. 78 or so by 5:00 o'clock. winds will be kicking up basically out of the west at about five to 15 miles per hour at least we're changing the pattern a little bit. little bit warmer but again that in thunderstorms. guys, back over to you. >> i'll take it gary, thanks so much. 9:34 is our time right now. memorial day is of course a time to salute our servicemen and women and this sunday the eve of memorial day pbs will air

day wasn't really all that much to you. it was a long weekend a chance to barbecue, indy 500. >> that's right. well i have a lot of military in my family but everybody came back okay so i think memorial day was one of those things that got push back and almost like that was that holiday other people had more importance to them when i first did the concert 15 years ago that really changed it for me. really opened my eyes to how important this holiday is and how important we recognize that and understand that without the sacrifices these men and women since the beginning of our history in this country without the sacrifices they made we wouldn't have the country we have and so when i say it's the most important thing i do, it's because it's allowed me to live the wonderful life that i've had. that's why i just never want to forget that. the least i could do is to give back, you know, one weekend out of the year to -- to kind of thank those who have done so much f

>> right. we all get to do what we do because of who have made the sacrifice before us. so you're the vet. ali this is your first time, right? what are your expectations to be part of this event? >> oh, i'm so thrilled to be here. this is my first trip to d.c. so i am completely blown away with just about everything. i'm so honored to be taking part in the event and to meet joe man taken ya.

of this, summit the music. >> have a nice on the radio. >> you're with rock nation. you can get any bigger than that these days. what do you do when they're appearing on this are you signing them right away, they have the potential to be signed right away? >> i don't think we're signing them right away. it's a process of actually, you know, listening to the music, because anybody can make one good song. so we are in the business of building artists. not just a guy that just can make one song. so they make good song it's a dope song we'll sit with them and figure out what else -- what other type of music they have. and take from it there. >> what is it -- what's the hardest part people need to know about this process. the a lot people i have talent automatically i shall be able to make this happen. what do you think people need to know these artists performers need to know about this process? >> i think the most part that they have the trouble with is they say who is hot now. so they want to sound like them instead of just sunning

themselves. >> yeah. >> they be i sun like this make a song that sound like that work for little uzi it doesn't work for everybody. >> we're having 99 people sun like future k someone sound different. >> there you go. >> just one person. there's a documenary as spec to this, too. tell me about that. >> yes. so as a born and raised d.c. native i've seen like the culture, that the dmv has been able to prosper, and i fell like this was a great opportunity to just say, you know what, i just want to go ahead and show the experience and show some of the people who have great influence in radio and even just locally being able to open the avenues for artists to say hey i just want to have a platform to perform. >> we're seeing some of this documentary. where was this shot? >> it's shot over the span of maybe two or three years. but primarily this year. particularly in dc this is tony reds of course just being able to have the chance to speak with radio and also people like one love massive and even dj flex as well whose had such an influence, so

a chance to talk to everyone and get their did you have avenues for a great experience. >> this sounds like a movement much this is not just a one-time thing. it's a movement. >> right. you go the to think. being born and raised in this area, when i went on tour because i was former artist and you visited all these other cities you would go to these cities and you would listen on the radio and be like, they're playing their local artists there. who is that artist? whenever i, got on the radio myself i said i would play have a platform for local artists to play their music. >> can you say some of the performers who are going to be. >> we have devon white will perform. also, patrice lab will be performing wild with rah the list goes on. they'll all be in the building. >> and for you, rel, why do you think this is so important? >> um, because i feel like it's so many cities have talented artists and they just don't have the right connections. >> the eitzen new, right. >> they don't ninety seven each other. good so i feel like a lot of artists they're good they need collaborators and i

something like this that only has d.c. artists allows these artists to meet each other and potentially work together. >> all right. i'll let you have the last word on the sounds of the summer. >> yeah. i think sounds of the summer is a great experience. because i feel like so often we say we want to have the dmv together but i feel like we have to always encourage that. because it's so easy to work individually and say all right we got this. we got this but we have to -- we have to start encouraging that we're all going to come together. we're all going to all support one another because it's so easy to just say i got it on my own. >> i can't let you go without talking about jay-z and beyonce' you are related to jay-z. >> somewhat. >> isn't what. are you going to tell us about any future plans for a tour or album. >> i'm not going to tell you guys anything. >> come on. >> you guys got to wait and see. >> okay. but there you are in the picture with them. what's your graduation? my college graduation. >> okay. >> so this is like, look, my proximity here to be. oh, my gosh. th

i wish you guys luck with these. the event is -- >> tomorrow. >> tomorrow. what time and how can people just -- five to nip 30:00. there's the address for information there you can go to the website making it happen. sounds of the summer. three heavyweights making sure this is going to be a success. if this is an artist don't miss it. >> i'm curious when are the twins due. >> tell us that and how they're doing. >> if you want to drop some something. >> two boys, two girls. >> boy an girl. >> names. >> ya'll know better than me.
