on 9 futurecast it doesn't look like that's going to happen. this afternoon just a couple of so thety showers developing right along the i-95 corridor and points west. the best potential for those showers to develop this afternoon will be between 95 and 81. clouds overnight tonight. that of course is going to keep things on the muggier side. a few sprinkles and showers developing again by noon on monday. i think 9 futurecast is underdoing the threat on monday. so monday is a yellow alert day. today just a green alert. we have that potential for a sprinkle or shower. as i mentioned before, mainly in the mid-afternoon hours to around dinnertime. as the sun goes down we will lose that instability. today's high 84 degrees. on monday potential for showers and possibly a thunderstorm at any point during the day. the best potential for that between noon and 8 p.m. on monday. a high of 86 degrees. tuesday we are back to the green alert. we might have a early thunderstorm. we will get close to 90 degrees on tuesday before the cooler drier air moves in. in the first alert seven-day forecast a high of 76 degrees on wednesday. only 74 on thursday with lots of sunshine. mike, back to you. >> thanks. coming up, a vaccine to battle ebola. plus, learning more about chronic fatigue. good morning. the ebola virus spread rapidly across africa and took months to contain it. this week the fda is taking steps to make sure that and similar epidemics do not happen here. on tuesday, may 12, an fda committee will discuss the development and future licensing of vaccines designed to stop ebola. several pharmaceutical companies have started working on the vaccine. the fda is looking to update clinical trial procedures. tuesday is also chronic fatigue disorder awareness day. it's a condition that many experts did not believe existed until recently. watch our health alert tuesday morning as an expert from arlington gives us the low down about the chronic fatigue disorder. it's a condition that affects millions of americans every year. i am andrea roane, wusa 9. bo derek returns to tv as she goes swimming with the sharks. we will find out about her new role next. >> and we will tell you why this mom and daughter-separated for decades. first, we would like you to take a look at some mom's day pictures. this one from miss rita. she has an ms. it doesn't have her. >> and this one from ron. my mom is the best. always there to help anyone. i am fortunate to call her my mom. >> and thank you, nicole thomas, are for sending this -- for send this picture for you and thank your mother. >> yes. meredith, thank you. this is me with my mom and we love the washington nationals. boy, you had a great day i love the taste. always smooth, never bitter. my cup of coffee is always awesome when i go to dunkin'. man: i see the steam rising off the cup 'cause you know it's a fresh pot. man: one cup a day for sure. two if need be. and it's usually "need be." dunkin' -- your place for coffee. people of the coffee drinking world, dunkin' has a dark roast coffee that's deliciously roasted just right for a bold start and smooth finish that's never bitter. put down the dark roast you've been putting up with and reach for the one you deserve. happy mother's day if you are just waking up. 7:52. it is already over 70 degrees. a live look at the monument there. not much else because of the fog. >> that's right. well, seaworld has been fighting against a tsunami of bad press and now the once popular florida attraction is trying to stay afloat. >> will they sink or swim when it comes to getting their head back above water?
