weigh in on this issue any time soon. let's go to tom kieran for the latest on his forecast. anything looking cooler? >> it's not too bad. i'm in the shade and i'm not moving and the air is moving a little bit. so if you are in the shade, out of the sun, and you have to be outside, it's actually fairly pleasant. here we are, this is our typical hottest period of the year. right now, temperatures are into the mid and upper 80s throughout most of the region. 88 now at reagan national. later today, into the mid-90s. average high this time of year, 89. we have not seen mid-90 temperatures since all the way back to last september. we'll have sunshine, a few clouds popping up. a slight chance of an isolated thunderstorm. a little holter on tuesday, wednesday and thursday each afternoon. small chance of an isolated thunderstorm as well as on friday. an increased chance of showers and thunderstorms over the weekend. as we see this pattern breaking down and changing. so i think this heat wave is only going to last between now into saturday, rather than

several weeks like we've seen in the past summers. it will be breaking down and we'll probably get a break from the high heat as we get into next week. could get some storms saturday and sunday. that is the way it looks, barbara. mosquitos are picking on you? researchers say certain things might make you more attractive to misskitto. they can target you if you've had one alcoholic drink. if you're pregnant. if you're type o blood. if you exercise regularly. or even if you're wear clothes with colors that make you stand out. i don't know what those colors are but i guess bite colors. smithsonian points out this the only applies to about 20% of us. hopefully we are not among those. it sees like it's becoming trendy to get dirty. mud runs are becoming as popular as traditional races. jenna miller, the global
