sports in just a second. they actually had a tough time bringing out the tarp a little earlier. maybe you missed it. high temperature today, 86 degrees. low this morning at 66 degrees. the high right around average. the low, though, below average and the coolest number that we have seen in just about two months. we were waking up to some beautiful numbers out there earlier today. temperatures right now, 73 degrees. dew point of 67. the winds are now calm. some areas could still see some fog back to the west, but right now not too much going on. 64 in martinsburg. as far as the showers, we saw very isolated showers around the d.c. area earlier, but they were heavy showers right downtown. here's a couple more and some thunderstorms making their way across the west virginia/virginia line in new hampshire county to frederick county and then to the panhandle of west virginia just outside martinsburg. you may see some lightning and hear some thunder there, but i'm not expecting this to make it

across the mountains into the d.c. area. don't be surprised, however, to see a few sprinkles tonight. only about a 30% chance of showers off the coast tomorrow. any of those storms could produce locally heavy downpours, though nothing severe. i think thursday is going to be a great day and that's going to lead us into a few more. now we have to take a look at tropical storm isaac. here is puerto rico. if you have concerns down there, i have a friend down there, and he said, you have to watch out for isaac. this storm making its way just to the south of puerto rico potentially. winds at 40 miles an hour right now. it is expected to intensify into a category 1 hurricane. this is what the hurricane center says, by thursday, and that's going to be a key day. then it will pass into portions of hispanola and key largo. it's still protected to be a hurricane as it's on the doorstep of southern florida.

this is a storm we really need to scrub over the next couple days. look at the numbers to the left. 55 in martinsburg, temperatures into the 80s for just about everybody. i think we'll see a lot of sunshine, but you might want to carry the umbrella just in case you see one of those showers come over. 89 on friday and saturday and even the rest of the week and early next week are looking pretty good even though we get back up above 90 monday and tuesday. >> that's okay. the braves are a good baseball team. the nats are better. also, a feel-good movie. it didn't make these

about what he wants to do and he's controlling what he wants the catcher to do more. it's fun watching him. >> mccloud from the a's. holding onto one of two wildcard spots. could we have two teams in the playoffs? the birds in 2 inning. nate mccloud's first of the year puts baltimore at 5. they go on to win it 5-3. they maintain that wild card spot along with the tampa bay rays. wild receiver niles paul making adjustments playing hit end after buffalo. dropped a couple balls earlier on and then caught one of cousins' touchdown passes. he had some added confidence going into pre-season game number 3. >> i wasn't concerned at all.

after the first game, i thought i was spend -- too much concern getting focused on the running game. i needed to take it back to what my bread and butter was when i came here, which was catching the ball. all week i was catching balls before and after, and i tried to stay well in the game. >>
