with this. not a ton of lightning, we do have some lightning. let's go ahead and track this out here. we move up toward the north and east. this is where this is going, up toward leesburg. i think it may stay just to the west of leesburg but middle but, 6:57, around 7:25 and waterford, 7:36 if it holds together. i do expect it to hold together as it moves across the area the next hour, northern virginia, still the place for the shower activity over the next few hours and then we could see some more toward maryland, but most of the bulk of the moisture still back to the west as the cold front is back to the west, as it moves in, hour by hour, here we go 8 a.m. tomorrow, mostly cloudy skies, 77 degrees, 85 tomorrow around noon, warm and very humid, a couple of showers around, but the best chance will be later on between 4 and 8:00 tomorrow night, storms likely tomorrow evening, around 83 degrees. that's the time we are taking on the lions tomorrow at fedex field. if you have plans to go out to fedex, definitely make sure that you're ready for that. as far as the exercise goes, showers with some storms late

with in the day, 87 your friday, here is the best weather in the world, saturday and sunday, looking good, both days, high temperatures in the mid to upper 80s. >> thank you, doug. sports coming up. a football game tomorrow night out at fedex. still a lot of talk about rg3, too. team's president, bruce allen, standing behind his quarterback's comments. but first, a look at what's ahead on "nbc nightly news." >> hi, wendy and jim. at 7:00 on nightly news a new poll reflects just how questions over hillary clinton's e-mails may be affecting her stand in the race for president. we are on a greek island struggling to absorb a flood of refugees fleeing isis. and we will tell you about a

so nobody affiliated with the team willing to throw rg3 under any buses, standing behind him? >> they are standing behind. here is the thing, deep down inside, i think we all would agree, robert griffin, iii, he is a good guy. he means well, but he just says

the wrong thing from time to time, he can't stop putting his foot in his mouth. that's kind of hurting him. that's what it s >> a lot of help from reporters who take everything he said. they twisted the heck out of that. that was not cool. >> can't say he is the best quarterback in the league. come on. get set for the home opener tomorrow, i did go to the park today for a coaching clinic that we will talk about later. chained to chat with team president, bruce allen. a lot of talk lately about robert griffin the third and what he should and shouldn't be saying. allen has known rg3 from day one since he has been with this organization. here's what he had to say about the criticism. >> all of these players are part of our family and i take it very personal when they attack any of them. anyone who would question robert's character doesn't know him, the people here know him, we appreciate what he is and he is striving to be the best. the other hot topic this week, whether they will see chris cooley back in football pads. now, allen, a little

non-committal whether he will be back with the redskins, they did say he could sign with another team. former redskins general manager charley casserly also weighed in and he had some concerns. >> when a player has been out for a while, you are always concerned about the injury factor, especially if the person had any injury history in the past, which cooley did with the knee. where is the knee? how is it going to hold up? you can be running in shape but it's not football shape. not out there getting hit and taking that body contact and blow like that not going to be as quick. those are the concerns that you have. i said this on television already. the concern to me, there's too much in the media here. you don't need to be saying three or four people want me and one doesn't. that would be my concern, too, about team chemistry. tomb tomorrow we have you covered from fedex field, myself and carol maloney on news4 at 4, 5 and 6, the redskins postgame report immediately following the

game and our coverage continues on news4 at 11:00. to the diamond we go the nationals possibly turning things around. last night, they snapped a six-game losing streak that also happened early this season back in april, after breaking that xirkd the nats went on to win 18 of their next 22 games. let's hope that the is case this time around. the nationals bats exploded for 15 runs against the rockies. haven't scored that many in their previous six games combined. perhaps the lineup shakeup by manager matt williams something to do with it. james wirth, 2-5, scored three times last night, yunel escobar, batting thrownup, four rbi, including a two-run homer. another late start for the nationals, 8:40, stephen strasburg on the mound. let's head back out to redskins park today. the organization held a coaching clinic for 70 high school coaches across the area. those coaches watched their team

practice in the bubble this morning. over 40 high schools represented from loudoun, fairfax, prince george's county, along with d.c. a two-day clinic for these coaches, guest speakers include bruce allen, charley casserly, joe mcveigh, sean barry and jon gruden, who understands the role the coaches play. >> a huge impact on these young people's lives, huge. these kids need to have some passion, accountability and learnt fundamentals of football and these coaches are responsible for that molding not only good football players but good character, good human beings, good people. >> everybody that ever played the game of football on any level understands the importance of the high school coach and a development of a young mind and getting them on the path that they need to go in order to be successful in life and we are not even talking about football, we are talking about, you know, life skills and character building and building the mind of a young man. >> great job by the redskins, too. >> a quarterback who doesn't think he is the best in the

tonight, feeling the heat. hillary clinton hunkers down as her team does damage control. new evidence that the e-mail investigation is taking a toll as new numbers reveal donald trump now closing in. pleading guilty. a stunning admission from the man whose life story so many came to follow as the face of subway. the dark secrets prosecutors say he's been hiding for years and what the company is saying tonight. desperate escape from isis. nbc news on the front lines of one of the biggest humanitarian crises in modern history. you a harrowing mass exodus to get out alive. and targeting cancer. not by where it's located in your body. instead a whole new way of shrinking tumors. exciting results. you'll meet a woman who is
