fredericksburg. culpeper, down to four miles. the areas that had the rain today, that's where our fog is really going to set up for early tomorrow morning. the best locations. fog for early on, between 6:00 a.m. and 8:00 a.m. your temperature 78 degrees. a very warm start and a sticky one too. 83 degrees by 10:00 a.m. the fog burns off. get out there early and exercise. 88 your temperature at 8:00 a.m. it's always going to start feeling like we're over the 90 degree mark. the high humidity yeah just like today will allow values, the heat index values to top out over 100 degrees. the weather having a moderate impact on our day tomorrow along with the heavy storms, the slow-moving storms that will come our way starting after 3:00. this is tomorrow. this is 30% chance for the afternoon and through the early evening hours. meanwhile on thursday, this is 9:00 a.m. watch the storms coming in. this is 2:00. strong potentially severe storms up until about 8:00 to 9:00 p.m. on thursday. i think we'll really are going to have to watch for flash

two of the big six come back in jayson werth and ryan zimmerman. the teammates happen to have these guys' back. pick it up in the second inning. zim is at the dish. it's like he never left. that foot looking just fine that double helped drive in bryce harper later in the inning. later on werth at the plate. bases loaded in the fifth. hits to the double play to end the inning here. the nats still on top though. it's 1-0. jordan zimmermann got the start on the mound tonight. really had trouble with only one marlin, and that was martin prada. he went 3 for 3 at the plate and drove in a run. this one right here put miami up 2-1. they don't look back from there. 4-1 your final score. manager matt williams knows his club let one slip away. >> a couple of times bases loaded and one out. couldn't get it done tonight. but, you know, overall i thought some guys put together some good

at-bats. we just didn't come through with that one that we needed. so nonetheless, it's nice to see jason throughout and zim out there. looks like they're seeing it fine. they're swinging okay. >> nationals players have a new teammate on their roster in jonathan papelbon. the former philly will be the new nat closer. he comes to the team after a phenomenal season in philadelphia. he was 17 for 17 in save opportunities. as for drew storn the current closer he played 29 games this year. he'll be demoted. the setup in the eighth inning to get papal bomb. that gave up aa pitcher nick aveta. a much better night for baseball in baltimore. khris davis had himself a game for the o's. bottom of the first, down two. not anymore. crush delivers. that is a 3-run blast. later in the second, more from khris davis. this in the bottom of the second. another long ball.
