look at laurel high school in northern prince george's county. temperatures are on the warm side. a lot to admit to. upper 80's at the 6:00 hour across the region. the almanac payment for the final day of august. 88 and 65 are the high and low. looking back over the hot summer, this is meteorological summer, june 1 to august 31, the fifth warmest summer on record. impressive. we had a total of 45 90-degree days. the hottest day of the summer was 98 at reagan international july 19. it's partly sunny and haze out there. southerly wind. dew point temperatures are higher and it is feeling like 88 degrees after 6:00. the showers have been per analysis tent and are jent -- persistent and gently drifting south. this cluster has been in the area for five hours. but it will rain itself out.

that is it for the rain across the area. otherwise partly cloudy and muggy with the temperatures in the mid-80's. still 89 in fredericksburg. dew point from 60's to the 70's. that moisture in the late summer makes it feel muggy. that is why a week or so ago it was warm and dry. not so much now. the heat index values the way it feels now feels like 92 in fredericksburg. 90 at dulles and manassas. 88 in washington. 89 degrees in baltimore. the satellite shows the cloud cover moving out quickly. it goes away. a lot of sunshine. all the rain south and east moved offshore. that is that. we will set to the hot and the humid conditions. chance of shower and a storm wednesday to friday. tonight is partly cloudy and muggy. 67 to 74 degrees. tomorrow, partly cloudy, hot and humid. temperatures are 93 degrees. by the time we get to wednesday we introduce chance

of shower and thunderstorm. 30% chance. 93, hot and humid. friday better chance of showers and storms with the front. if the front goes through the area as we suspect that is the entire labor day weekend will be partly cloudy with temperatures in the mid-80's. i will take that. >> what a day with the redskins. "as the skins turn." robert: exactly. is this the end of rgiii in washington? jay gruden says it's not. is it beginning of a new era? i'm sure kirk cousins hopes so. a look at the new redskins starter ne

robert: as recent as saturday, kirk cousins was the backup. less than 48 hours later cousins is the starter for 2015. but not because of rgiii's injury. according to jinny gudmendsen this was based -- according to jay gruden this is based on performance. he never said that rgiii wasn't good enough but told us that kirk cousins was best for the job. is it the end of rgiii on washington? here is jay gruden today. coach gruden: i think it is a combination of things but

certainly trying to see the field better and recognize the defenses better and coverages, pressure, movement in the pocket. all of those things contribute to protecting the football. the longer i play the more reps i get, the more practice and the game experience i gain i will be a much better quarterback when it comes to protecting the football. leon: that is not jay gruden by the way. robert: that leaves kirk cousins. he came in camp understanding the role as the backup behind robert griffin iii. according to the depth chart cousins was number two. saturday, he put it in the bread basket for ravens terrell suggs so accuracy hasn't always been great. here is cousins on making that improvement. actually it's jay gruden. coach gruden: yeah, i do. shoot. like i said, nothing against robert. i like robert as a quarterback. no doubt about it. his future is with the redskins is what it is. i anticipate kirk taking the job and running with it. his job as a backup quarterback or third string quarterback, whatever it is, is to get himself ready to play.

the door is not shut on rgiii. robert: i have to work on my accuracy. u.s. open, serena williams hoping to become the fourth woman to accomplish a calendar grand slam. for her sister venus she had a tough time with monica puig but she pulls it out. match point in the third set. the forehand winner. she is fired up, of course, after. that venus is the oldest woman in the singles field and she advances 6-4, 6-7, 6-3. final note the nats will play the best team in baseball tonight. cardinals. gio gonzalez will take the mound. first pitch is 8:150. that will be a tough one. mets play phillies. a leon: cards have had their number for a while. doug: tomorrow is first day of meteorological autumn. steve rudin at 111 :00 will tell you how long the hot weather will continue. leon: be her
