has not made in previous election years. we'll be watching his 11:00 news conference where he's expected to lay out his intention. christmas is more than six months away, i can't think of christmas. u.p.s. is making changes to the holiday shipping. cnbc's landon dowdy has that and more. i guess it's no too early to plan ahead right? >> you can never plan ahead enough. u.p.s. plans to get rid of shipping discounts on oversized packages this holiday season and possibly year round. "the wall street journal" reports the move could hit consumes who would have to buy their items at a store or pay some of the shipping charges. oversized items don't fit on to the conveyor belts at the sorting centers requiring more work and it takes up more space in the trucks. so eun, looks like we'll have to get some smaller christmas gifts this year. >> good things come in small packages. >> that's right. tom kierein is here to tell us about this heat wave that won't go away it seems like.

>> yeah, here it is day six of our heat wave and it's going to continue this afternoon. we'll get above 90. the feels like temperature near 100. your hour by hour forecast right now, quite a bit of cloudiness over the metro area. temperatures upper 70s and by 8:00 it will be near 80. by noontime, near 90. and then by mid afternoon ought to be hitting the low 90s. it will feel like 100 with the humidity. then some thundershowers will be rolling through. by late afternoon mainly just south of the metro area, can't rule out an isolated storm right in washington on the nearby suburbs in maryland. but looks like virginia is going to be the main threat zone. moderate to low impact for the afternoon commute as the storms do roll on through. the main threat of these storms will be from high winds. very small chance of any tornados or hail and a moderate chance of maybe enough heavy rain to cause some ponding on some of the low-lying areas and on some of the ramps. some of the high winds may cause some tree damage. this tree was damaged by a bolt

of lightning that split the bark of the tree from the top all the way down to the bottom. that was posted on my twitter page. post your photos on twitter, facebook and instagram. then a break comes tomorrow from our high heat and humidity. lower humidity, cooler day on wednesday. beautiful june day tomorrow. we'll be in the upper 80s during the afternoon. then more humid again on thursday. highs, mid 8 0s. maybe a morning shower. up near 90 on friday with a possibility of some afternoon storms. over the weekend right now saturday is looking wet. the remnants of tropical storm bill coming right over our region with some showers and thundershowers in the mid 80s. drying out on sunday. hot again up into the mid 90s and could get some storms. alexis, how is the commute? >> we have that serious accident that police are dealing with in gaithersburg. sam eig highway between diamondback drive and fields road is closed. your best alternate for this area is route 28. again due to the serious

accident that up had earlier this morning. elsewhere on 270 very slow. heading out of germantown. yeah, germantown. and then heading towards the beltway, 66 is slow out of gainesville and manassas. after route 50 all the way to the beltway. 395 at glebe road, earlier crash is on the shoulder. has been cleared out of the way. looks like the volume has eased a bit there. then the accident on the inner loop ramp was reported, still no delays in the area though. back to you. >> thank you. if you hope for a less crowded commute on metro this morning probably not going to happen. about 100 eight-car trains are not on the rails right now because of safety inspections. doors on the 4000 cars opened up, causing metro to pull them out of service. the 4000 series would return this week, but news4 transportation adam tuss says they won't be running today. metro doesn't have a time line for when the cars will return. in a few hours tropical

storm bill is expected to make landfall in the eastern part of texas. now, we now know they'll probably pack winds of up to 60 miles per hour. storm team 4 meteorologist tom kierein says the storm should make landfall later this afternoon. four to eight inches of rain is expected to fall today and that means flooding is a big concern. especially in the same areas that were under water just a few weeks ago. officials in galveston county have already called for voluntary evacuations and dozens of school districts have cancelled class for today. 6:55 right now. tonight, the women will make their third appearance in the tournament. they're hoping for a win and that means we'll go up against power house brazil in the next round of play. good luck. you can join the crowds at the

world cup watch party at national harbor. it starts at 5:00. organizers will show two matches. japan play against ecuador and then at 8:00 team usa as they play nicaragua. 6:56. here are four things to know on this tuesday morning. in d.c. the man accused of taking a family hostage and then killing them is in court. daron wint is saying he hired a new attorney. a hearing about the massive data breach at the office of personnel management. as many as 14 million federal workers' private information was compromised. d.c. police are looking into the shooting that's happened overnight on 28th street on naylor road in southeast. officers found a teenager suffering from a gunshot wound. he was taken to the hospital in critical condition. just moments from now the woman under fire for pretending to be black will appear live on the "today" show. matt lauer has that exclusive interview with rachel dolezal. >> temperatures near 80 and by noon, near 90.
