for the rest of the five-day forecast we send it out to marty. >> thank you, bern. let's take a look at the five-day forecast. let's go right to the week's end and the weekend. let's be honest about it. thursday 68, almost 70. friday maybe an instability of thundershower later on. 65, but all things considered really not a bad day. saturday and sunday looking okay. partly sunny with 70 degrees both days. saturday, that's the day of the kentucky derby, that big prep race three weeks from this weekend. we'll go ahead and throw it back inside. >> how about that. don't miss the cbs lineup starting with "the good wife" followed by eyewitness news at 11. >>> the derby is known as a horse race, but some are breaking out their mattresses. take a look. you're looking at the derby festival event and the great bed races at the louisville race ground. >> i hope more than one person took part. >> they need a whole week of events. it started with a huge fireworks show. marty's from there. >> thank

bern. >> that's right. severe thunderstorm watch is in effect for western parts of the state. washington and allegheny counties. but we also have a coastal flood advisory that's in effect for just along the western shore. the strong southerly wind is going to lead to a high tide over night about one to two feet above average. now we're going to put this all together for you and tell you here's the storm coming into our very warm atmosphere. that's sparking the thunderstorms just over these past few hours. but behind it pretty decent band of rain and still a few thunderstorms. even though the thunderstorms come in and there is a chance for severe weather as we head through the evening the rain is going to linger into tomorrow. we'll have a full forecast and what that means coming up shortly. back inside. >>> thank you, bernadette. >>> there will soon be a new anchor on the "cbs evening news" katie couric is set to leave the program next month. he will debut as anchor june 6. he will also continue his work for 60 minutes. >>> top honors at the white house for a maryland educator

stick around for bern's updated forecast. >>> the scouts saved. six stranded boy scouts are rescued from a flooded campground. a helicopter plucked the boys and two scoutmasters from the woods this morning. this happened in arkansas. the scouts were stuck in the wilderness for 36 hours after heavy rain flooded creeks. the boys say they were never scared while they were stranded. >>> one of san francisco's most popular tourists evacuated alcatraz on sunday afternoon. a fire alarm went off on a boat that takes tourists to the island. turns out it was a false alarm. the infamous prison is back open for tours. >>> hitting the pavement to help cure cancer. the maryland half marathon is less than two weeks away and andria explains why anyone can participate. >> reporter: 13.1 miles for a good cause. >> most of my races are cause- driven. there's a purpose for running. >> reporter: the purpose for runner carl is to cure cancer. last july doctors removed a five centimeter tumor from his stomach, but that hasn't stopped him from competing. >> health issues

. >> bern ang says that this week, everyone says it t is nearly meaningless. in the long-term, we do want a strong dollar. you can think to some extent the dollar as a reflection of our economic strength, it is almost like the stock price for the united states of america. but a high dollar also has disadvantages. i mean if you go out and talk to any businessperson who is trying to export goods to other countries, a strong dollar makes their job very difficult. and so the fall in the dollar down about 18% since last summer is actually good for any businesses that are exporting. it is bad for importers. it raises the cost of their goods. right now i don't think as i said i don't think inflation is a huge deal, over the last year. it remains incredibly low. >> it's interesting as you say, because on the one hand every government says they are in favor of a long dollar. on the other hand this government has said, perhaps appropriately so, we need to be more of an exporting nation. >> yes. >> and it is a declining color, a depreciate yating dollar that makes us mor
