in that 90-degree range for the next few days. we have 100 or so. the record for tomorrow. we'll be right around 98. they have 103, the record for sunday and monday. temperatures will number the mid-90s. so our advice to you is to stay shaded as much as you can. take the water. take the spf up as high as you can. and it doesn't mean that you can't be fashionable doing it. bob will have your complete updated first warning forecast coming up. >> you hit a fashion high note there. tim, your tie goes with your hat. you look fantastic. first warning weather coverage continues live in druid hill park. mike hellgren has more on the health dangers when it gets this hot for so many days in a row. mike? >> reporter: mary, it is miserable out here today. they temporarily closed the druitid hill park pool. all of these people have been waiting here for an hour. just for the chance to be cooling offer. >> reporter: it's hot. sweaty.

weekend that brought the woman up. and with it, -- brought the bottom up. and with it, the dead remains from the algae bloom. >> the green is from the algae, right? >> dead algae. >> dead algae. and if there is a smell, that's from the sulfer on the bottom. >> reporter: it is still just a symptom of a bigger problem. >> all ties back to the fact that there is basically a dead zone in the harbor. no oxygen in the water for the fish and other animals. and it all ties back to too much exclusion in the harbor. >> reporter: not the kind you can see and trap, but nutrient pollution, like nitrogen from fertilizer and air pollution, which feed algae blooms. alex demetrick, wjz eyewitness news. >> now, when the algae originally died off, it triggered fish kills in the harbor. the color change is not expected to do the same, fortunately. >> i was thinking of something like in chicago, they dye their river green. not the case here at all.

oh, the cooler the heat, right over central maryland. particularly these urban areas. i was just looking at the temperature on the beltway. what do you think the temperature on the beltway is? that's the road temperature right now. with that sun heating that black top. 134. 134 degrees. well, obviously the air above it is going to be reflecting that as well. so it's really an unnatural environment. away from the city out in some of the wooded areas, temperatures only reached the low to mid-90s today. even right now. martin airport by the water. it's only 95. but at the airport, check it out. 100. 100 in hagerstown. 104 in d.c. that's a new record for june. 86 oakland. 85, ocean city. the dew point dropped 1 degree.

if it were 55, it wouldn't even be that bad out, honestly. but it's 71. and that is really, really close. the 100, however, with that dew point feels like 109. so yesterday, even though it was 96, it felt like 91. today, at 100, it's up to 109. 112 in d.c. 95, ocean city. and 107 over in easton. and we have advisories, yes. excessive heat warning. excessive heat watch. heat advisory for almost the entire region. obviously through tonight. and again, during the day tomorrow, because we'll still have warm temperatures, upper 90s tomorrow. high humidity again. dew points, in the low 70s, maybe. that means it's going to feel like 100 to 105 at least. west/northwest winds. there have been a couple of thunderstorms this morning that came through the area. it did cool things down temporarily in those regions. to the west of us, another complex of storms is moving

generally toward the ohio valley. late this afternoon, it was somewhere over ohio. so i do think we have a chance, in portions of the area, of getting another thunderstorm overnight tonight, into the morning hours, which actually, would help to cool things down. because at least, it cools the pavement. and in the woodland areas, where there's grass, it is caused by evaporational cooling, temperatures to get somewhat lower. this weak front through the area. there is less humid rain. it's still going to be generally above average. temperatures northeast winds, at 5 to 10 knots. bay temp, 76. chances of thunderstorm overnight. 72 with the rains. otherwise, probably 82 downtown. 98 tomorrow. not quite as hot as today. and could be a spotty afternoon thunderstorm. tomorrow, going down to the beach. yeah, it will be definitely cooler down there. upper 80s. weather temperature, about 72 degrees. i'll take it. >> absolutely. thank you, bob. still ahead at 5:00. it's better than deodorant. the new treatment for people
