thursday. check out the feel like temperatures. 102, 106 on thursday. that's the hottest day out of the week. and when we certainly could see some thunderstorms roll through our area. so get out early tomorrow with exercise. exercise impact forecast. yes also impact on the air quality. heat and humidity. in terms of storms take a look at tomorrow. isolated storms could be blowing up. best chance once again is areas south around southern areas of virginia. as well as southern maryland. wednesday heat index of 102. 94 the temperature. 96 on thursday. with strong perhaps maybe isolated severe storm coming your way. that's one reason this is a weather alert day likely for wednesday especially thursday and of course any changes to the forecast meteorologist tom curon will be on tomorrow at 4:30. at the end of the week, still 92. but we will see a lot less humidity coming our way at end of the week. nonetheless, temperatures will

continue to run over 90 degrees. so oppressive for midweek. saturday, sunday 94 and 95 degrees. looking dry right now with sunshine at least and then the early part of next week where you're looking at a high of 94. so thursday is the day that i'm most concerned with right now that is still the high heat and humidity. back into that practice of you know -- >> nice and quiet to get some sleep tonight. >> yes. >> thanks, veronica. >> a familiar face back at camden yards tonight but the home team walked off a winner. but first, here's jimmy fallon. >> thanks, guys. tom cruise is here. for a lip sync battle of all battles. plus we have
