the last 50 days of four inches of rain. we can use rain but not necessarily the weekend. 85 degrees. the dew point, 64. which is a humid but reasonable. there is that easterly wind. here's the reason we have that easterly wind. our temperature is in the 80s and a whole weather front and easterly wind. with that you can see not many spots now into the 90s. where they are in the 90s, way down in brownsville. not only in the 90s but terrible, terrible drought. exceptional drought that continues to give you an idea corpus christi had 37 days in a row of 95 or higher. today corpus christi, texas, heat index now is 102. 37 days in a row of 95 or higher. imagine that. there are -- the old weather front that stretches down along the coast and that's been the focus of the showers and rain that we have missed. look at more rain down around outer banks. if you are heading down to the outer banks of north carolina, there is the area that i think

is more likely to be seeing showers and on the other hand, in and around us, really nothing going on. our -- to get an idea, eastern north carolina. so far this month, 11 inches of rain. there have been really heavy rains. we saw that flooding around the norfolk area. the same time going out. around the bay. beautiful from tillman island. 81 degrees. with the winds out there. and the tropics much of it is still quiet. this is a tropical wave. you can see the coast of africa. that's a possible bill that it could be come a depression. not much going on. a few waves. meanwhile, out on the pacific, that little circulation there, that is hurricane willermo. winds at 100 miles per hour. out in the pacific, things are a little bit more active. for us, over the next few days, while there's a little -- bend like that in the jet stream the overall pattern is still a dry one. and that circulation down to our south, we will keep an eye on that. eventually next week something

may develop. in the meantime, any little's of low pressure stay off the coast which then keeps us on the drier side with that easterly breeze. and if you are heading out for the beaches, out there, i think, with the onshore breeze, temperatures will only be in the high 70s. around town tomorrow, high 80s. and near90 on sunday. but reasonably comfortable. a nice warm evening. temperatures, 80 to 85 degrees. if you are having a little dinner and outdoor cafe, beautiful evening for that. no rain showers and no thunderstorms around. tomorrow morning, some of that patchy fog and low cloud may be around with that easterl wind but once again, i think we will be seeing a lot of shine and a nice afternoon with more blue skies because once again, we will get a little bit of that ocean air in on us. and uv index is 8. make sure to latszer up the sun block. even though we are into the middlef august. temperatures mid to high 80s and tomorrow evening another very pleasant saturday evening. sunday, too. a lot of shine. lot of events going on this weekend. day by day, the temperature will

it is tough to tell how good or bad a pro-football team is during the preseason where they don't play their stars. >> even the guys that d play, play a series or maybe three. it certainly was not a polished performance by the redskins last

night. outscored 23-0. out in 500 yards to 196 yards. outhustled as well. we did learn a couple of things about the 2009 version of the burgundy and gold. depth is going to be a problem if some of the young guys don't step up and step up soon and maybe offensive line coach joe bugel was right. starting offensive line might not be as bad as we thought. first play of the game, jason campbell looking for devin thomas. he wasn't open. dumps it off. backup running back. look at the back of his jersey. it actually said bettis in jerome bettis. perhaps a sign of things to come. still first quarter. ravens ball. flacco getting serious help from his second year running back, ray rice. he shakes london fletcher which you never see happen. 345-yard gain. that sets up a ravens field goal. second quarter and the second team offense now in for the redskins. todd collins, backup qb. looking over the middle.

kind of pressure here. gets away to kelly. kelly makes a tremendous grab. he had three catches for 25 yards. he had three catches all of last season. redskins starting to move the ball now. few plays later. davis stripped. second fumble in the game. this time the redskins don't recover. the ravens recover. it was a costly turnover. davis said that it was the first time he has ever fumbled twices in a game. the ravens would capitalize. troy smith make something serious things happening. look at his pump fake. phrases kevin barnes. then justy harper scores. 19-yard touchdown. the redskins are shut out 23-0. jim zorn trying to stay positive. but not pleased with the effort from some of his younger players. >> i think our young guys, you know, figured out that, you know, they watched this gaem all

their lives. they finally get a chance to go out there and play it. and think it is going to be just like -- just like it was before. and it is not just like it was before. it is intense. it is -- exact. and it is passionate. and it is emotional. and i felt like some of the young guys saw from -- some of our veterans that played great, i think they saw that they are going to have to pick things up. >> felt good. but at times, you know, i have to read faster. that's one thing i noticed. read faster and react better. you know. but that's -- the first preseason game that's what it was ball, getting it out of the way and get ready for next one and keep improving on the game. >> overall brian orakpo, rookie defensive end, linebacker, i would have toy say was bright spot for the redskins. he will get a chance to chase michael vick around this year after much debate about his landing spot vick found a home in philadelphia. vick met the media and at the

eagles practice facility. in front after packed house today. vick was remorseful and when talking about his involvement in dogfighting. after spending 18 months in prison, vick feels like he is in a good place with the eagles and will back up donovan mcnabb, quarterback, at least for now and no qb controversy in philadelphia. mcnabb endorsed the move and vick is anxious to get things going. >> you know, i think -- you know, everybody deserves a second chance. you know, we all have issues. we all deal with certain things. and, you know, we all have our own set of -- in our life. and, you know, i think as long as we -- you are willing to come back ask do it the right way, and do the right things and you are committed, then i think you deserve it. but you only get one shot and at a second chance. i'm conscious of that. >> i'm just really happy that things turned out this way. i'm proud of the philadelphia eagles. i know they didn't do this as charity measure.

they feel like mike is going to help their football team. and be a weapon for them. but they also stepped out to give a man a second chance. and i think that's important. >> former colts head coach tony dungy has been vick's mentor throughout this process. vick gets a two-year nonguaranteed contract from the eagles. it will pay him $1.6 million in thfirst year. eagles have an option for a second year at just over $5 million. he will be eligible to play in the regular season. no later than week six. the eagles' week seven opponent the redskins. on monday night football at fedexfield. redskins players found out last night during the game michael vick was not only coming back, he had signed with the eagles. now, all of them, very glad to see him back with the team. maybe not necessarily in the nfc east but glad to see him back. >> when you think about it, you think about him and mcnabb, two

similar style quarterbacks, that i think what they will do, relies on the offense for his wildcat maybe, line him up as a receiver positions and try on get the ball in his hands. for them, i'm sure they will use him in different situations and i don't know the situation as backup quarterback, i think kyle was hurt. so, you know, gives him an opportunity to be their backup. >> he will be very difficult. i think that it will be interesting to see how he works into the eagles, you know. unfortunately he is in our division. he has been out a couple of years. i think a guy like that is going to be so fired up and i'm excited that he's -- he's able to start progressing back in. i would say this. that he is with an excellent football coach. he will get to learn from some tremendous veteran leaders. and i think donovan mcnabb is hanging out with donovan and will be able to help him work through some of these. i don't know what he will have to work through but i know it will be difficult.
