we're not exempt from harvey's rather or a what's left. let's take a live look outside. capitol dome still showing a little bit of blue sky peaking through there. we figured it would take all day and all evening probably for the rain to get here, and in the midst of that, maybe a few peaks of sunshine. that looks like a fall sky to me and feels like fall out there as we've had mostly cloudy skies today. but very, very cool. so your weather headlines as we go into the holiday weekend. as advertised. those remnants will be impacting us with rain starting later tonight. showers are moving in but they're mainly just in our very southern suburbs. a wet and cool saturday on tap. sunday nice improvement by afternoon, might be a slow improvement but the holiday forecast itself labor day looks great. it is 66 in dc, that's our high temperature so far today. 64 baltimore, 66 in annapolis, at least our high temperature for this afternoon, actually i believe it was warmer in the 70's after midnight but y

the idea. cooler air moved in it is locked firmly in place, here's what we're waiting on, a lot of rain out there. just south and west of washington, heavy bands on the east side of the system moving through the carolinas bringing severe weather, there's tornado watch in evict there. but the center of circulation of this remnant low of harvey right over the tennessee valley and rain heavy at times spreading all the way up to places like southern ohio, dry air in place all afternoon, the showers are trying to get in but dissipate as dry air is winning out but once the atmosphere starts to saturate later on tonight, we'll get the showers in, and i'm just thinking the sooner we get the in, the sooner we can get it out. showers and storms towards our south and w the light stuff that comes through, you'll need the umbrellas as you head out but it will not be widespread. we'll wait until tomorrow morning nor that. we get more organized rainfall coming through by this time tomorrow morning, it's dark, it's a wet morning, it's a chilly morning. it's perfect for sleeping

luckily tomorrow is a saturday. waves of showers are forecasted through the day tomorrow. it's nothing really that heavy. but it's just persistent light rain, drizzle, damp cloudy, i'm not telling you on this picture perfect day. it will be a wash-out type of day. rain continues overnight until we see the final remnants by early sunday morning, when you first step outside, it will not look nice, leftover clouds and drizzle but we're hoping we get enough clearing that it turns into a halfway decent second half of the day, best chance of sunshine will be further off towards the west. the beaches are still going to struggle sunday. you might have to wait until monday to get a nice day. rainfall nothing like what we've been talking about in the past days with harvey, that's for sure, only about a half inch to maybe an inch half, some places getting the rain would be south and west of us, down near charlottesville along i 81, there's a slight chance of severe weather with any storms like what we're seeing in the carolinas, that's really a marginal risk

across the bay down into the northern neck but honestly, with the water spout season that we've had so far, i wouldn't be surpriseded to something spin up over the bay tomorrow afternoon. seven-day forecast, again, morning showers giving way to sunshine, 80 degrees. labor day looks great. and then sunny and warm on tuesday before we cool back down next week. that's a look at your seven-day forecast. lauren, back over to you. >> thanks, caitlin. >> controversy at a maryland high school. two dualing petitions are in evict. why students are fighting for the right to wear native american head dress. we'll have a live report next.
