Rain, rain, (not totally) gone away: Anticipate some sun after an evening of scattered showers. The week ahead appears to be more of the same, with thunderstorms and/or cloudy skies expected most days. Memorial Day is not looking clear.

LEADING THE MORNING NEWS:

  • Tampa beat the Caps 3-2 this weekend in a very tense game. (Sound like groundhog day?) For Monday’s game, Uber has agreed to pay for the metro system to run an hour late.

  • The backlash against Washingtonian’s botched “I’m not a tourist” campaign continues. Dozens of black residents gathered at Union Market on Sunday to stage a photo shoot of their own, all wearing T-shirts that say “NATIVE.”

  • D.C. still maintains some of the highest unemployment rates for black residents in the country, topping 13 percent, a study published last week shows. A black person in the District is eight times more likely to be out of work than a white person.

  • Mayor Muriel Bowser was a no-show at a mayoral forum on Saturday, where candidates discussed gun violence, education reform, and affordable housing. One notable attendee: Attorney General Karl Racine, who isn’t running for mayor, but reportedly asked to participate anyway.
