8:00 and could be even cooler in some areas. high temperature right into d.c. and 80 in fredericksburg and while it is going to be a warm day tomorrow, look at how we cool down by the end of the week and especially the weekend. so you know, be careful what you wish for. much of this year abnormally dry and we have rain chances every day this week. wednesday, your thursday and friday and they drop at the end of the week and your temperatures, too, into the mid-60s and that's the weather front that comes through on wednesday and we have cooler conditions for thursday and friday and we're watching the storm system. yeah, there are still a lot of uncertain we this and we could be dealing with a lot of wind and rain coming to our area and maybe frost for the early part of next week. guys? >> thanks, veronica. >> prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers in men, but detect it early and it can be very successful. news 4's doreen gentzler reports on new technology that is giving doctors a helping hand into

diagnosing this disease. for men, dealing with prostate cancer, the only way to confirm a diagnosis is with a biopsy, but for years, doctors haven't had an accurate way to do that. >> doctors say that deteching prostate cancer can be tricky. it starts with a blood test, checking a man's levels of prostate-specific antigen or psa. when that level is high a biopsy is the next step. trouble is doctors typically use a ultrasound, and all too often the ultrasound doesn't find the cancer, but now doctors at medricstar georgetown university hospital are using a system called euronap. it combines mri with the ultrasound. urologist dr. john lynch says it's helping to detect abnormal areas in the prostate that they would have missed before. >> we don't want to biopsy everybody unnecessarily. so if we can be far more accurate with the biopsies that's the key. we don't want to do too many

unnecessary biopsies and when we do them we want them to be as accurate as we could possibly be. dr. lynch says this is helpful for men diagnosed with non-aggressive forms of cancer and they would have to have regular biopsies to keep tabs on the cancer. doctors have a more accurate view of the prostate so men did skip those regular biopsies if there's no progression of the disease. so this technology really has two purposes. diagnosis and detection. september is prostate cancer awareness month and you can learn a lot more about the disease on our nbc washington app including the four things you might not know about prostate cancer. thanks, doreen. a once vacant public housing community is getting new life tonight. the old sheridan terrace community is now sheridan station located off suitland park way near the anacostia metro station. check it out. the $100 million project
