felony. >> some humidity moving in and there's also a chance for showers. amelia is coming up next. >> to be young and to sign up to be a donor, isn't just an ordinary thing. >> an organ recipients say

tomorrow morning, specifically our commute looking like? >> there's going to be areas of fog and drizzle. that could slow the morning commute and it's going to be humid, not only tomorrow but tuesday as well. our high today was 75. tomorrow a little bit warmer and this is one of those weeks you need to find your umbrella and keep it handy. you might even need the big rain boots. we only pulled those out a few times. tuesday night into early wednesday, heavy rain potentially in the forecast but much needed rain. rain is most likely later in the day on tuesday into early wednesday and a little bit of uncertainty in the forecast toward the end of the week on into next weekend. tomorrow the weather having a low to moderate impact on your day. patchy fog and drizzle early and scattered showers and maybe even an isolated thunderstorm around later in the day. not a definite you're dealing with rain tomorrow but the risk is there. temperatures in the 60s and 70s. 70s currently in washington. here's a school day forecast at the bus stop. temperature around 67 with the

fog. it's humid and muggy and temperature of 74 and by dismissal, kids could be dealing with scattered showers and maybe a thunderstorm because of the increase in humidity, highs tomorrow near 80 degrees. so the humidity levels, where do they fit tomorrow and tuesday? kind of in the sticky area. tuesday though at times it could even feel a little bit oppressive as far as the humidity is concerned. something we don't often talk about in fall, future weather showing you rain chances. here we are at noon. isolated showers and otherwise cloudy skies maybe peaks of late day sun tomorrow. notice the widely scattered light activity on monday. not necessarily the case on tuesday. patchy fog once again, early in the morning, look at what approaches at noon. areas of heavy rain tuesday evening for that evening commute. notice the bright colors down around fredericks burg. something to keep an eye on. high tuesday of 80 degrees. and as far as the severe risks are concerned tuesday, pretty low risk we would see any high

winds or hail or even a tornado. what we'll be focused on is heavy, slow moving areas of rain. that could lead to isolate d flash flooding concerns tuesday evening. wednesday still some areas of rain likely and breezy day and noticeably cooler. high temperature on wednesday of 68 degrees with plenty of clouds. we'll keep thursday dry for now, high around 70. friday high of 72. the chance of showers and next weekend i have to say has big question marks in the forecast. temperatures in the upper 60s. on the cool side tracking a storm system but it's exact position with the computer models, it's all over the place. i'm putting in the chance of rain but i do want to stress next weekend could be a chilly, windy and rainy one. something to keep an eye on. i have new information coming in all the time. we'll have the latest updates after football and views of the superer lunar eclipse tonight. >> reaction from bryce harper and jonathan papelbon after and jonathan papelbon after their

here in vineland, home of progresso, we love all kinds of chicken soups... but just one kind of chicken. white breast meat chicken every time. so if you're not going to make your own chicken soup tonight, do what we do...make it progresso. you say avocado old el paso says... zesty chicken and avocado tacos in our stand 'n stuff tortillas . (record scratch) you say stand n' stuff tortillas old el paso says... start somewhere fresh

boy an exciting day after all for the nats. >> you know, the irony is they had a promotion yog ga in the outfield after the game. maybe it would have calmed things down. showing fight what the nats fans wanted to see instead it reduced to teammates fighting. and today on fan appreciation day no less, push came to shove and more between bryce sharp harper and jonathan papelbon. he hoped the nats would spend the rest of the season together as a team. so this instance steps from the bottom of the eighth, as he walks back, papelbon is chirping at him, seems to be upset he didn't run out the fly ball. as harper hit the dugout they exchange words and papelbon then lounges at harper, his neck, pushes him into the wall and the two have to be separated by teammates, matt williams said papelbon will be suspended.

and meanwhile, papelbon, top of the ninth, game tied at four. takes papelbon deep to center for a two-one homer, phillies win 12-5. after the game, papelbon owned up to it. >> first of all, i'd say i'm in the wrong. i'll leave that up to our manager. i grew up with brothers and he grew up with brothers. i view him as a brother with mine. sometimes in this game there's a lot of testosterone and a lot of intensity that spills over. >> he apologized, whatever. i really don't care. next six days keep doing what i'm doing. like brothers fighting. hopefully move forward and do what i can the next six days and play the game. >> glad i'm an only child. now to the hitting in football. the cowboys know all too well

about the physical nature of football. two wins but two lost stars to injury. tony romo forcing the cowboys to turn to the quarterback -- wins just 5-16 as a starter, eight consecutive losses but who's counting. first cowboy drive, big help from the running game. looks like he's going to get stopped, right? no, wait a minute, he breaks the tackle, my voice lost, cowboys would lead 21-7 midway through the second. that's nice but back comes atlanta, down 11 in the third quarter. this was a big connection today. matt ryan, jones. back to the 45 yard touchdown, jones two touchdowns, 164 yards receiving, falcons trail 28-25. now same score in the fourth inning this time atlanta knocking on the door. freeman finds the end zone and falcons lead 141 yards and atlanta comes back to beat

dallas, 39-28. eagles play the red skin next week today looking for the first win against the jets. second quarter, sproels, he shows off, breaks free for a 89 yard punt return for touchdown. eagles up 10-0 and lead as much as 24-0. fourth quarter now. it's a 10-point game. eagles have the ball. ryan matthews, fumbles the ball and jets recover and now suddenly remember the big lead, things look dicey for the eagles. but the second play of the next jets drive, fitzpatrick's pass, going to be tipped and intercepted by jordans, eagles win 24-17. philadelphia improves to 10-0 all time against the jets. to baltimore for the ravens, never started the season 0-3, facing bengals, wild ending,

flacco to smith, ravens are ahead. smith 13 receptions, 186 yards, two touchdowns, as impressive as that was, it wasn't enough. aj green was even better. he catches the touchdown pass and gives bengals back the lead, two tds receiving, they win it 28-24. all right, to st. louis, i wonder if the fire marshall signed off on this. pregame pyrotechnics, that's a fire on the field. yeah, charred turf no fun to play on. steelers beat the rams 12-6 in a real barn burner. but ben roethlisberger is out four weeks -- ben roethlisberger is out four weeks because of injury. >> always a treat to have you. let's get one final check on the weather. >> we have a lot of weather going on this week. we have some fog and drizzle tomorrow morning. potentially scattered showers

and later in the day, it's humid tomorrow, warmer, high around 80. tuesday, high around 80. and fog tuesday morning. as we get into the afternoon and evening hours, we'll be tracking heavy rain and downpours, maybe even some thunderstorms. >> get the umbrellas out and goulashes handy. "nightly news" is up next. we'll see you again after sunday night football. good night, everyone.

tonight, god waits. the apology by pope francis, as he meets with victims of sexual abuse by the clergy and others. a day of painful realities and joyous moments as hundreds of thousands come to see and hear the pope on his final day in america. heating up. tough questions and changing fortunes as hillary clinton once again defense her e-mail use, and carly fiorina comes on strong. tonight the new number in our latest nbc news poll. lifesaver. it reverses overdoses of heroin and other drugs. one big pharmacy chain is making it much more available over the counter, but not everyone thinking that's a good idea. and the francis effect, how he is energizing the ch
