degrees in the city. just amazing how warm we are at 11:00 at night. i don't see temperatures going down all that much over the next few hours. high temperature today did get up to 96 degrees a little earlier. that heat index reached 103 a little earlier today. and this is the exact same numbers that we're going for during the day tomorrow. however, i think the low will be a little warmer than where we were this morning. 88 with the heat index of 93 at this hour. it all has to do with the dew point. any time it's 70 or higher, it is very oppressive, and that's what we've seen over the past couple of days. that's exactly what we'll see the next couple of days. i want you to notice this too. 73 in fredrick. a lot of times you hear urban heat island. that's the heat island right there around the district. because of that, that's where the cities are. that's where the asphalt. it takes a lot to cool temperature downs there. that's why we have the heat index in washington of 93.

you might as well put this from 12:00 to 6:00 in the afternoon, because it is going to be hot all afternoon long. you'll think about taking a lunch outdoors tomorrow. you may want to think again. look at the heat. it's continuing. hazy, hot, and humid. 97 on your wednesday. 98 on thursday and friday. as we make our way into the weekend, we're still talking about the heatwave continuing through saturday. and most of the time when you have heat like, this you need something big to break it. a lot of times it comes in the form of severe weather. that's exactly what we're predicting for dion saturday. could be some severe storms with a high temperature coming in around 93 degrees. so once again, we'll continue to watch that for you over the next couple of days. but we are in for at least next five days with that big-time heat. >> not pretty. thank you, doug. coming up in sports with the help of his dad, bryce

harper also impressive. this his longest homer of the first round. 471 feet, although i don't know how accurate these measurements are. he had eight. he advances to the second round. his brother brian with the mustache very pleased. looking like rollie fingers. but the star of the opening round, yoenis cespedes hit several into the upper decks, 17 in all. look at that guy. think he is having a good time? harper battling it out for the title. in the final round. it was a fresh start for the participants. harper had eight home runs. he hit eight in every single round. a huge hug from his dad/pitcher ron. but would it be enough to beat the a's slugger? not on this night. cespedes was off the hook. nine home runs in the final round. harper had to settle for second. so yoenis cespedes your 2013 home run derby champ getting a little love from harper there. afterwards, bryce's dad.
