for everybody down on the mall not doing bad weather wise but a whole lot of stuff for holiday weekend. so let's take a live lookout side and get you started on just what you can expect as we move through into the day. now i mentioned yesterday, the better part of today would be fine but we could possibly see some rain and storms, and we are still in that mode of where you can see a beautiful shot out there, we have had plenty of sunshine humid though, is it ever sticky outside and muggy, 82 degrees our high at national, 82 at baltimore, we have had a lot of moisture moving its way through it is sticky and humid out there, 83 degrees at quantico, 86 monassis. 84 martins burg, pretty warm, 83 baltimore, 82 annapolis and 88 fredericks burg. skies, we see clouds rolling in a coastal front advisory as well nothing to do with the tropical moisture or rainfall we are expecting but, it is because tides are going to be just above normal into the course of the overnight hours this is in effect right through until 5:00 a.m. monday. sky conditions we are seeing clouds rolling in we have a cold front to the west, it will be a big player in what happens over the next couple days but right now we are seeing storms across the western region some of those seeing heavy pockets of rainfall i am anticipating some of that will sneak into the dc metro region, just keep your eyes to the skies. a lot of action however, in terms of this frontal system, this will gradually move to the east as we move into the monday, tuesday period we will see across, by monday we will be left with storms as a result and this is actually going to be part of what is going to hell 7 p to bring a lot -- help to bring a lot of moisture from the gulf coast get ready for this, here is a look at tropical storm lee our infrared satellite shot well inland across louisiana right now producing copious amounts of rainfall they have a lot of tornado threats here as well and they are dealing with high surf and the spread of moisture will go up to the tennessee valley and southern portions of the appalachians that will start to push its way to us. here is a look at kattia category 2 hurricane becoming fairly strong and expected to intensify as it pushes across the waters. here is a look at lee it is going to become a remnant low over the course of the next couple days look at the cone where the moisture will trend and then we look at kattia category 2 hurricane here is a look where it starts to strengthen. day 4 it starts to take a turn and we are hoping it continues to turn more east to get away from the shore we are looking at large swells but the moisture from that is expected to push its way through along the coast. spaghetti models becoming a bit together more and bringing it more with a northeasterly turn a lot of uncertainty prior to that. look at this timeline moisture from the gulf of lee pulled in with that frontal system and puts us in a pattern of continual rain all the way through to the middle part of the week without much of a break your 5 day forecast will reflect that. tonight we are talking mainly a chance at some storms in the forecast, be prepared for that keep your eyes to the sky 5 day forecast showing you a chance of rain and storms every single day from that tropical moisture and that frontal system not much of a break there. >> i am hoping we do get a break next saturday wisdom i am the mc in an event called open house at our house it takes in abused abandoned homeless male youth they are having a fundraiser at their facility in brookville maryland, and fox 5 is media sponsor i want to thank hdo tents dc they came through the tents we needed celebrity guests, door prizes, free food and drinks, we have food from saval. chantel's bakery i want to thank everybody rave reviews and i am going to be there and some of my fox 5 family. >> sounds like a great cause. >> it is. >> let's talk football coming up next red skins made their final cut for some of those players that didn't make the team it is not quite the end of the road and the l train is coming up next that is what we call lyndsey murphy. all aboard, she has the answers good afternoon today the red skins were assembling their practice squad. it is reported five players have been added. tackle doug worthing on the cornerback reggie jones. and roister he was a six round pick by the red skins from penn state, he was released yesterday but today he is back, this preseason he rushed 26 times for 110-yards, mike shanahan talks about the process of building a practice squad. i think everybody evaluates different teams, if you feel like that player can help your football team you can claim him. some people are deeper at certain position some people are weaker. so you never really know and your players obviously better than anybody but some times people do their homework and will take a chance and get a player. maryland will kick off the season tomorrow night in college park 8:00 p.m. against miami a new era will begin underneath the new coach, big things expected from o'bryan, miami without 8 players who are ineligible for accepting illegal benefits. >> going to be ready, make sure the back ups there will be ready to take their opportunity, but yeah, we are not really focussing on who is going to play there and who is not. they
