Good morning. I'm meteorologist Elizabeth Gardner. We have a round of thunderstorms moved through overnight last night, you might have heard it. It has moved out of the viewing area. Now, as folks are heading out and about for their morning commute, we take a look at Future Cast and you can see the back of that rain through by seven o'clock. Most of that should be out of the viewing area. But even after that, we'll have a little bit of light patchy rain. You can see that showing up on future cast there at around nine AM. Once we get past lunch time, we may seeing a few breaks in the cloud, but there could be an isolated shower or two in our southern counties during the evening commute. That could pop up anywhere, but it's more likely down to the south on Tuesday, we're going to start off with partly cloudy skies, but in the afternoon, we'll see a disturbance that rolls through and that's going to bring us a few scattered showers. You can see that between, especially between three and five and then again, closer to midnight. So we'll just continue to see more waves of rain coming through, heading out the door this morning. It is wet in most places that rain though is ending from west to east. Our temperatures will start off most likely in the low sixties climbing to almost 70. By lunchtime, our temperature is heading out the door. It will be a little cooler in the north, mid fifties around, say Roxborough and South Hill and then mid sixties from Fayetville over toward Clinton, we'll see a high of 78 this afternoon. Again, some light patchy rain through much of the remainder of the morning and then a few isolated showers mostly in the south through the Tuesday 64 but a late day shower and then some rain overnight into early Wednesday morning, we see it's going to be fairly cool at 63 degrees. We can watch that. You see the warmer air sliding off to the east and we begin to cool down Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. But then after that, we get a big surge of warmth that comes in on Saturday. I wouldn't get too excited about that because we do have the potential for some showers as well. Durham's home opener, can you believe is Friday? It looks like it's going a pretty day, 73 degrees at around 6 30 in the evening, but we do have a small chance of some showers to keep checking back if you're planning to head out to the Durham Bulls for the home opener it's going to be, it's going to be a fun one for sure. Our high on Friday is 78 so we start to see our temperatures rebounding. And again Saturday, we have a chance of showers right now. We have it at a 30% chance if you're headed to dream or have other plans on Saturday. Keep checking back and we'll be fine tuning that forecast for you.

One little girl and the swift actions of a group with a shared goal helped to save a giant pacific octopus in Washington state.

Like it might be ready to try to make a break for it. Swift action taken by a group of people with one mission, getting this giant Pacific octopus back in the water. They can't survive out of water for more than several minutes. It collapses their gills. That's Annie England with the Padilla Bay Reserve. She got a call from the ranger at Bayview State Park in Mount Vernon last Wednesday about an octopus stranded on the beach anticipating finding such an alive, healthy octopus. England credits a little girl who was visiting the beach with her family for keeping the octopus alive. She was taking water with her little sand bucket and she was filling it up and she was pouring it on top of the octopus. England says the actions taken by that little girl is the best thing you can do. If you ever encounter an octopus out of the water, we would never encourage the public to try to move an octopus or touch it. Um But definitely pouring water on it and calling a local aquarium or uh organization that you know, works with marine animals. She says finding an octopus alive out of the water is not common and says this is the first octopus rescue she and her team has ever done. We had to be very conscientious of where we are putting our, our hands. Um while we are moving the octopus, uh thankfully, we were able to get it into the bin. Uh And then we were able to drag it out octopus rescue. England says she's relieved the mission was a success and hopes the octopus doesn't have to ever experience something like this again. Feeling her way out.
