that i can't rule out. temperatures right now are in the 70s, 77 degrees in washington, gray skies today plenty of clouds we kind of had a marine layer trapped over us as the sun goes down, we will become mainly clear. so it is going to be mostly sunny and dry start tomorrow morning. 67 degrees. in fact, we will be dry through the early afternoon hours 2, 3, even 4 p.m. 11 a.m. clouds start to increase, it's breezy 79 degrees at that point. a high tomorrow of 87. 7 p.m. temperature of 84. and again tracking scattered showers and thunderstorms during the afternoon and evening hours especially between about 3 and 9 p.m. showing you future weather on tuesday, there's still the chance of some showers and thunderstorms mainly during the thorly morning hours, see future weather around 1 p.m. no severe weather threat on tuesday, but can't rule out rain impacting your day. before i get to the five-day forecast, i want to give a quick

shoutout to lake ridge elementary, wonderful second graders, i got to speak to them on -- earlier this week. for tuesday a high temperature of 88. it is still humid outside a 30% chance that you're dealing with a shower or thunderstorm. wednesday it is hot temperature of 90 degrees, could be the first day of our second heat wave, mostly sunny skies, the good thing about wednesday, the humidity is actually going to be pretty low, a dry heat. that's not the case on thursday. mugginess returns a high temperature of 94. plenty of sunshine, good pool day day, use the sunscreen. next sunday erika looks like we will return to the 80s, high temperature of 89. >> all right, thanks amelia. still ahead what a trim crown winner does after the he makes history. plus, the nats inches away
