bit higher in some locations on sunday. that's if the dew points remain up. now there are little showers that have develops this afternoon. once we lose the heating of the day they will die down. high pressure ridging in from the there can. we have systems off to the west. we have that low still over the lower mississippi valley bringing soaking rains, a lot parts of mississippi and louisiana, and then we have our next cold front coming in. and since you think of it as a brick wall of air, nothing can bust into this ridge, so either go around it or just stall off to the west. when you have this moisture linking up at the front, we're expecting soaking rains across the ohio valley this weekend,ed mid-mississippi valley, the lower mississippi valley. none of that will get here. we'll take a look at rainfall in the next half hour. it is very impressive, scary and maybe flooding situations throughout the mississippi ohio valleys. for us those showers diedown. if you want to step out and view the perseid meteor shower. tomorrow morning we make up to mostly sunny skies, partly cloudy in the afternoon. notice one, two, three four little green blips and that's about it. just an isolated

unconstitutional district maps in the upcoming election. this after a panel of federal judges ruled they could. wral's laura leslie joins us live at the state legislative building in raleigh with a look at what this really means. laura. linda, the panel ruled that maps are illegal and would be wrong. the trouble is we're out of time to fix that problem. fixing the problem would require state law makers to come back and approve new state and house senate maps. then elections boards would have to open new filing periods. they'd have to hold primary elections again, and they'd have to allow time for overseas and military voting which is a window of several weeks. there aren't enough days before november 8th left to make that work. however, the judges have left open the possibility that they could call for special legislative elections again next year once the districts are approved. an additional primary and general election would likely cost millions of dollars. bob hall with voting rights group democracy isn't advocating for that but he says there is a strong case to be made. >> it is a fact that we are going to be voting in november in districts that are illegal. now the boundary lines are unconstitutional, so the representatives are not really our true representatives. how long do we tolerate that. >> now this is the fourth set of maps drawn by gop lawmakers that
