>> reporter: now is a torrent of help. >> it's awesome. . it's why we live here. >> wow. >> tough for the folks in washington. >> and the forest fires are doubly bad. you have to avoid the fire, but it leaves the hillsides completely unprotected and as a result it makes mudslides more likely out there. tough stuff for our neighbors in the pacific northwest. for us, we do have a bit of a weekend challenge to get around in the form of cloud cover today and a risk of showers as well. i think if you're trying to pick on which day is better, tomorrow will be a better day than today from an outdoor weather perspective anyway. there's the look over downtown early this morning. cloudy skies await you almost no matter where you live. and if you're one of the lucky few you'll get a sliver of sunshine later on this afternoon. but i think sunshine is going to be hard to come by this afternoon. 73 at national airport today with 76% humidity. winds are light out of the east averaging 6 miles per hour. on the whole the weather impact on your day will be somewhere between low and moderate. more low than moderate. rain chances are actually at about 60% for today, but no heavy, heavy rain is expected. if you're going out this afternoon, baseball game time, the nationals and the giants. first pitch at 4:05 this afternoon. cloudy skies for sure and a risk of a shower. i don't think there's going to be as much of a threat of rain delay. your weather picture will be improving a bit. on the whole, you'll need your umbrella from time to time today, but it will not be a washout. there will be plenty of usable dry outdoor hours between the rain chances. one cluster north, one south of us, and another stream trying to come straight down interstate 270 right now. so the rain right now at the moment is in frederick county, maryland. it's moving to the southeast. you have the best chance of seeing a little rain here in the next bit. and down to our south and west. showers moving in culpepper, those will be making for a wet start in fredricksburg this morning. little bit of light rain just on top of the north side of dulles international airport right now. that's drifting into northern fairfax county. little bit of light rain in your immediate future here over the next hour and a half to two hours. here's where we are. full cloud cover out there at 7:00 this morning. any rain we get today will be light. by 10:00 a.m., sprinkles in northern maryland. as we go through the afternoon, the overall coverage of the rain will start to diminish just a bit. then a little back door cold front will turn our winds back to the northeast. that will bring in drier air. by 11:00 tonight, the rain should be over and skies will be trying to clear out a bit. and by tomorrow morning, still a partly to mostly cloudy start. by tomorrow afternoon, things will be starting to improve quite a bit. so for today, cloudy skies, indeed, all across the region. there will be a chance for showers at almost any point in time throughout the day. redskins and ravens play at 7:30 tonight in baltimore. i think that game is going to be dry. couldn't completely rule out a drop or two as the game is getting started, but on the whole, there will be no reason for a skins loss. >> what's your prediction? >> 20-17. >> wow. okay. you heard it here first. >> i'll forecast anything. >> just forecast the good stuff. from the red carpet to the food, hollywood is getting ready for a big night. the last-minute preps ahead of the emmys on monday night. plus news4's i-team caught bike crimes in action. the best way to keep the thieves anticipation is growing right now for the 66th annual primetime emmys. the show airs monday night. >> it'll definitely be fun.
