>> over wine and salad, she answered questions about the organization providing fetal tissue to researchers. typically for a fee. >> i would say it is probably anywhere from $32 -- depends on the facility, what's involved. >> congress announced it will investigate. >> i don't care how much political weight planned parenthood throws around this town. no one is above the law. >> but planned parenthood said it is following the law it, provides the tissue legally for scientific research with consent from patient and no financial benefit. any fees merely are to cover costs. point the doctor made repeatedly. >> planned parenthood blasted heavily edited video as the work of extreme anti-abortion activists, david deleadon --

coming our way looking ahead to the weekend which we will get to. let me take you back here to the humidity thing. we talk about the dew point. what is measuring moisture content in the air. current dew point is 55. basic rule of thumb is the lower the dew point the drier the air. when you get to about 65 degrees, for dew point temperature, that's when you start to notice the humidity. >> so comfortable outside perfect hair day, storm scan3 watching the retreat thankfully of all of that nastiness that rolled through yesterday with the heavy thunderstorms and the lightning, but off to the west you can already see the combination of some storms that continue to, well definately pomeling iowa early this morning, starting to fizzle somewhat. but this is what is eventually going to be moving our way. talking tropics couple of waves to discuss here, across right near the equator. but we're not expecting any kind of tropical activity even though this would be your typical breeding ground, for this time of year. it is to has just been quiet season, in part, due to el

nino. but, that said, we're not worried about any tropical development in the next, say five to seven days, so that's certainly good news. one thing you got to keep in mind here hitting the shore points guys, today specifically there is moderate risk for rip current. we always want you to swim near the lifeguards anyway, but specially when at moderate risk, just keep, take it easy out, there make sure you keep close to the lifeguards right? sunny, nice day out there the high of 78 at the air shore point, sun block required, of course, and we're going to keep this nice theme going by tomorrow. eight a degrees under the sunshine, then we heat it up. take a look. three days straight of 90 or above. and that does officially make it a heatwave. that's what we're forecasting right now see if the temperatures actually verify there, but yes some heat and steam returning to the forecast. but, back to today this is great day to be a meteorologist, because it is so nice outside. i like bringing you good news. but we let some aspiring weather forecasting try their forecasting at the crayola experience, take a look.
