internet doomsday when thousands of americans could lose internet access because the dns changer virus. the fbi busted the hackers behind it and set up temporary servers to provide temporary access for infected computers, but those servers expire after midnight. this site will let you know if your computer is infected. some frightening video of an ak row bat falling off a tight rope in central china and surviving. he was walking more than 650 feet in the air with his eyes covered and then he flipped. he fell when he was almost at the end. he survived. wasn't seriously hurt. he later told chinese television that he felt faint and slipped because of the winds up there. glad he's going to be okay. speaking of winds, we had some winds moving through our area along with some thunderstorms.

>> quite a bit of wind and hail action today. our threat r for severe weather, not completely gone, but it is starting to diminish. the strongest thunderstorms are now to the south of the d.c. metro area and are heading southbound. down along the the northern neck, you are still very much so under the gun. right around town, things have settled down a touch. everybody bringing their boats in off the potomac after a sizzling hot day again today. 102 at national airport. our streak of hot weather though, the best news i can give you, it is coming to an end. one of our coolest 6:00 temperatures in weeks. 86 now at 6:00. dew point at 70. winds out of the west averaging 10 to 15 miles on average. and current temperatures, how about this. 79. again on down, fredericksburg

with 97 an hour ago. 73, rain cooled degrees there. record heat again today. 102 at national airport. that was a daily record. that makes four days in a row. 100 or higher. the only other time we've equalled that was july of 1930 and we've now add 11 days in a row. 95 or higher. that has never been accomplished here as long as we've been keeping weather records since 1874. what about tomorrow? going back to work. start-up temperatures, low 70s. temperatures up to the mid and upper 80s and can't rule out one of two rumbles of thunder, but no severe weather. severe thunderstorm watch goes until 10:00 for these areas shaded. montgomery count, but you can see on radar, northern maryland, things are settling down and by far, the strongest in southern maryland. this is running right now out

over the southern part of the chesapeake bay, so be on the lookout for that. this one here is gone out of fredericksburg, but is headed down towards montrose. be on the lookout for this one to the south of port royal. and more thundershowers towards the blue ridge. but all this is coming to an end as the weather front settles more southbound. it will hang up around the virginia, north carolina border and just sort of wait around a next several days. clouds will hang around and shower chances will linger. we will not be 100 degrees anytime soon. welcome news. headed down to the beach. not the best week at the beach. highs only in the low to mid-80s with clouds and shower chances, but a cool, cloudy week at the beach might feel good after the ten days we've had. lows in the low 70s. tomorrow, cloudy, cooler,

showers likely but only a rumble or two of thunder. check this out. highs in the 80s all week long. no triple digits. >> love that. okay. coming up in sports, things get wild and it's not necessarily good for the home team.

nats going into the all-star break. time to take a rest. >> i bet dave saying let's keep playing. going right on through. day-to-day life of baseball, we may just be taking for granted what kind of season the nationals are having. had a chance today to win the 50th game in the first half. only the yankees and rakers have more. think it's too hot, that's a clown question. nats and rocky, bottom four. one on for desmond. he is the only thing hotter than the weather these days. he leads all shortstops in almost every offensive category. top eight, nats cling to a 3-2 lead.

gonzalez on the mound. first and third and gonzalez bounces it past solano. gonzalez' first wild pitch of the season. tied at 3. top nine, clipper pitching. runner on third. throws his first wild pitch of the season. the first run clipper's given up since may 16th. bottom nine, two outs cht desmond on third, flores, chance to be the hero. betancourt delivers, blows him away. nats fall 4-3. but they go to the break with the best record in the national league. >> we had our opportunities and but it was great first half and proud of the guys. we battled him. i feel real bad on that one for sam because i mean, his record's not indicated what kind of first half he's had.

he's been outstanding. >> they've been doing a great job all year. they've been you know, having our backs in tight situations earlier in the year. you know, this one got away and we've got to move past it and focus on the second half. >> meanwhile, orioles trying to finish their seven-game road trip above .500. he rushed it to left. 20-year-old kid could be the rookie of the year and mvp. his 12th of the season. 3-0 angels. this one to pujols. that's his 14th. angels win 6-0,. people like to say 30 is the new 20 and if that helps you sleep at night, good for you, but those people are not professional athletes. after dominating tennis for almost a decade, roger federer is beginning to wonder if he'd never win a grand slam title

again. he was just too old. not even 31 yet. going for grand slam number 17. andy murray, looking for his first. first set, federer serving the far court. off the return. the backhand, gorgeous drop shot. literally looking for the early knockout. probably heard that wind past his ear. pretty good for an old guy though. after he wins the second playing with a roof closed now, they played 26-point, 20-minute game. federer converts on his sixth break point. takes the set 6-3 and control of the match. serving for match point. federer will come to net and murray's return goes wide. federer wins, his seventh wimbledon championship. he'll regain his top spot as the top-ranked player in the world.

>> i think i played some of my best tennis in the last couple of matches. it's worked out so many times over the years at wimbledon that i play my best in the semis and the finals. i couldn't be more happy. it feels great being back at the as winner. i feels so familiar. playing in the finals. it's a great moment. >> 31. think he might be over the hill. in golf, webb simpson has four bogies today costing him the shot at a win. tim potter jr. and troy kell currently in a playoff. meanwhile, the u.s. women's open. does not look back. on 11, birdied this hole every single day. she would tap in for another bird. 6 under for the tournament. tough week for the americans.
