We're tracking cooler conditions for the weekend with isolated shower chances.
Today features building clouds and an isolated shower this afternoon and evening, especially south of Charlotte.
Highs are up into the low 70s.
There's a slightly better chance for a few showers as we go into Sunday morning, but still the day is not a washout!
High temperatures are in the upper 60s to low 70s.
Rain chances continue to look highest as we go into Monday and Tuesday of next week, with a good soaking of rain expecting.
Temperatures stay below normal through the first half of next week before we warm up and hopefully dry out for the PGA tournament late week!

CWG Live updates: Some clouds today, with increased rain chances tonight and this weekend
Welcome to updated around-the-clock by Capital Weather Gang meteorologists. Happening now: Highs are mainly in the mid-80s today with moderate humidity and a shower or storm chance late. What's next? Occasional shower and storm odds increase late tonight and this weekend. Be flexible with outdoor plans. Highs may not stray too far from 80. Today's daily digit — 7/10: Mid-80s, some sun and an afternoon breeze that keeps us a bit more comfortable than we would otherwise be in moderate humidity. | 🤚 Your call? The digit is a somewhat subjective rating of the day's weather, on a 0-to-10 scale. Forecast in detail Today (Friday): Fairly bright, despite occasional clouds. Highs are mainly in the mid-80s though the hottest spots may get near 90. It may feel a few degrees hotter given moderate humidity. One or two late-afternoon pop-up showers or storms are possible, mainly north and west of D.C. Confidence: Medium-High Tonight: A few showers and thunderstorms remain possible, and again they may prefer popping north and west of D.C. Sticky lows in the mid-60s to near 70. Confidence: Medium Tomorrow (Saturday): A mix of clouds and sun with isolated to scattered showers possible in the morning, and isolated to scattered showers and storms possible in the afternoon. It won't rain the whole time, and there may be decent dry hours, but keep your plans flexible if possible. Highs shoot for 80 to 85. Confidence: Medium Tomorrow night: Still a few isolated showers or storms possible during the evening and overnight. Skies are mostly cloudy with lows in the mid- to upper 60s. Confidence: Medium Tomorrow (Sunday): Occasional showers and thunderstorms are fairly likely. Skies are mostly cloudy with this elevated rain chance. Highs may only get to a 75 to 80 range. Confidence: Low-Medium A look ahead Sunday night: Clouds, showers and storms may continue overnight, especially before midnight. Moist, humid air continues to keep lows warm, in the low to mid-60s. Confidence: Low-Medium Humid with afternoon and evening shower and storm chances Monday and Tuesday. Monday could be a bit sunnier than Tuesday because of slightly lower rain chances, boosting highs into the low to mid-80s. Tuesday may be stuck closer to 80 due to more clouds and higher rain chances. Confidence: Low-Medium

Northern Lights Forecast: 10 States May See Coronal Mass Ejection Arrive This Weekend
The Northern Lights may be visible in the U.S. this weekend, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Space Weather Prediction Center, which is predicting aurora may be potentially glimpsed from 10 U.S. states on Saturday, June 7. It comes in the wake of a coronal mass ejection — a cloud of super-charged particles — departing the sun on Tuesday, June 3. A CME takes a few days to travel from the sun to Earth, but exactly when it arrives is always difficult to accurately predict. 'By mid to late on 07 Jun, a glancing blow from the 03 Jun CME is expected to cause an enhancement in magnetic field parameters,' reads a forecast from NOAA. 'By mid to late on 07 Jun, G1 (Minor) storm conditions are likely with the arrival of the 03 Jun CME.' It all comes just days after a rare G4 geomagnetic storm that lit up June skies worldwide last weekend, with bright auroras across the world after a 'fast halo CME' arrived. There is currently an Earth-facing coronal hole on the sun — a large hole in its atmosphere where magnetic fields can escape — that is creating a fast-moving and turbulent stream of solar wind to move in the direction of Earth. A G1 geomagnetic storm on Saturday, June 7, may have aurora visible from northern U.S. states. 'Migratory animals are affected at this and higher levels; aurora is commonly visible at high latitudes (northern Michigan and Maine),' according to NOAA, though its aurora view line has the phenomenon potentially visible from 10 states. The parts of U.S. states that could potentially see aurora, according to NOAA, include northern Washington, northern Idaho, Montana, northeastern Wyoming, North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, northeastern New York and northern Maine. According to NOAA, the aurora does not need to be directly overhead. It can be seen from as much as 600 miles (1,000 kilometers) away 'when the aurora is bright and if conditions are right.' That will mean, at the very least, clear skies and an observing location away from light pollution — with a dark northern horizon particularly important. Before heading out to look for aurora, check the latest weather as well as space weather forecasts, including NOAA's 30-minute forecast and the Glendale App. Both services use data from NASA's DSCOVR and ACE satellites, which orbit about a million miles out and measure the solar wind's speed and magnetic intensity. They give a roughly 30-minute warning of aurora displays. The Northern Lights are caused by the solar wind, a stream of charged particles from the sun interacting with Earth's magnetic field. Its charged particles accelerate along the magnetic field lines toward the polar regions, where they collide with oxygen and nitrogen atoms, exciting them and causing them to release energy as light. Wishing you clear skies and wide eyes.

An AP photographer finds a dog resting amid the roots of thirsty trees in the drought-plagued Everglades
MIAMI (AP) — Rebecca Blackwell has worked for The Associated Press since 2007, based first in Senegal, then Mexico and now Miami. Here's what she had to say about this extraordinary this photo? I wanted to shoot pictures that show how above normal drought conditions were impacting areas of the Everglades, a vast wetland ecosystem at the heart of South Florida. I spent many hours over two days driving around to investigate different parts of the Everglades for signs of dryness. Lower water levels were evident in many places, but the grasses and bushes that blanket the terrain can make the effects difficult to see. How I made this photo To get some local expertise, I reached out to Marshall Jones, an airboat tour operator I met a few months earlier who grew up in the Everglades and is involved in environmental protection. I asked him if he would be willing to show me the impact the drought was having in his area. With his airboat tours shut down due to low water levels, he graciously spent two hours walking me through the surrounding area, showing me where depleted canals were growing grass on exposed mud, where normally waterlogged marsh was now dry enough to walk on and where waterways typically navigable year-round by airboat had completely dried up. When we got to this pond apple forest that usually sat in a foot or more of water, I knew I wanted to find a picture there. There was one group of trees set closely together that drew my attention right away, but without another element it wasn't going to make a picture, so I continued following Jones and his two dogs as they explored the area. When one of the dogs went over to lie down on the wet patch of soil amid the trees I'd spotted, I circled back to the framing I'd seen before and knew I had a shot. Why this photo works The root structure of the pond apple trees is so visually striking, and this group has a really nice symmetry. The directional tree roots and the patch of sunlight all point your attention to the middle of the frame where the dog is lying. I don't like the trash present in the shot, but it was still relevant to the overall meaning since it had been exposed by the low waters. For more extraordinary AP photography, click here.
