gusting upwards of 39. so that is a nice, cool wind. too. our friends at college park are at 88. satellite and radar showing clear skies earlier, now we're seeing some clouds build in and increasing clouds throughout the rest of the evening, but those clouds are going to give away by later on tonight, so don't worry too much about the clouds. warm temperatures today with some sunshine. watch what happens tomorrow. the hot air moves in here. we are going to get very hot across the ohio river valley, and the south tomorrow, but it's not really tomorrow. again the heat and humidity really come in on friday, could be a chance for some showers. that would help at least locally to downplay some of that heat, but i think everybody will be close to that 100 degree mark.

tomorrow, however, everybody into the 90s. going for a high of 95 in d.c., 92 towards cambridge. on friday, this is the day that we're watching for the excessive heat. excessive heat watch in effect. when we talk about excessive height here, we're talking about a heat index near 110 degrees. that means it's possible tomorrow that means it's probable, and i think it will be very close to that, maybe 105 to 110. can you escape the heat here? i think on friday, maybe a little bit. temperature around 92, with humidity down toward ocean city. 96, though, on saturday, hot and humid, 95 on sunday, the best place to be will be in the water, with that water temperature of 73 degrees. 95 tomorrow, there's that 95 on friday, and the 100 degree temperature on saturday. the report on saturday is 101.

i don't think we'll quite get that hot, but it is possible. sunday, monday, tuesday and wednesday, all staying in the 90s, so this heat wave will tum and it's not going to leave any time soon. >> we're going to suffer. >> for a little bit. for a little bit. get the ac checked right now, if you can. if you don't have ac, find a good friend who does. >> thanks, doug. thank you, doug. new federal requirements are making soft-sided infant playpens safer for children. the new standards come after decades of playpen recalls. the challenge is getting all of them out of homes and daycares even after they've been declared unsafe. as nbc's erica edwards shows us, the recalled playpence have cost a terrible price. >> reporter: home video shows a happy and giggling danny. it's difficult to watch when you realize his life came to an end at just 16 months old. >> my little boy was killed by a
