65 or higher and it's starting to get humid out there and that is feeling pretty nice. you can see areas like manassas and culpeper feeling the mugginess just a little bit and tomorrow the dew point temperatures going to be around 70. that's when you start to notice the humidity and here is your feel-like forecast for the workweek and monday, temperatures feeling like the mid-90s and then we start to see the heat build ask it stays muggy. so by thursday and friday, it's feeling 100 degrees and warmer outside especially on thursday. >> currently our temperatures are in the 80s right now and 88 degrees in washington and it's going to be a nice, mild start tomorrow morning for your monday. 7:00 a.m., 75 degrees and remember, it will feel muggy and not as comfortable as it was this morning. by lunchtime, temperatures will be in the upper 80s and 91 will be our high tomorrow and hit and miss thunderstorms are possible during the afternoon and evening hours. the chance that you're dealing with rain pretty lowt

30%. the best chance will be west of washington. by 7:00 p.m., partly sunny skies and again, an isolated thunderstorm or two around. i'm going to show you future weather pretty quickly, 8:00 a.m., we're dry and stopping in at noon and you can see the time stamp up there. by 2:00 p.m., notice thunderstorms are starting to bubble up and mainly to the west of washington, montgomery, frederick counties and especially back around the corridor. i think if you're in washington or areas off to the east you will probably be dry tomorrow and tuesday pretty much a repeat forecast. the commute tomorrow most of us are going to be just fine, to and from work. exercise tomorrow with the humidity back. the earlier the better. if you're heading to the pool download the nbc washington app and you can get the late of the forecast and radar and you can see if any thunderstorms are developing and get the kids out in time. dinner out tomorrow night and more so than the chance of a stray thunderstorm. it will be hot and you might

contract which would be historic. no quarterback in the league has played two years in a row under the tag, but it's not only possible with cousins. we are hearing it's likely. today, kirk cousins, he signed a lot of items this off season and not just a contract, though, and two sides are still not each close. cousins is not expected to sign long-term, but is open to working out a deal after the season. joe theismann, you know him. he says if you don't work out a long-term deal now you can kiss him good-bye at the end of the season. a lot of speculation, i say please, let's not go through this again next year. they report from training camp a week from wednesday. >> i have a feeling the bars will be packed tomorrow. oh, boy. >> we'll all be waiting for this news. meantime, the washington nationals could be big at the end of games and that picked up two receivers and ryan madson and sean doolittle. either

close. doolittle is a left-hander with a 3.3 e.r.a. including three saves in the season. fans in the area might remember doolittle from his days pitching from the virginia cavaliers where he was teammates with ryan imzerman. the 36-year-old right-hander having one of the best seasons of his career. 2.06 e.r.a., they get max tryman. dusty baker is looking extra happy today. must be loving either the nats trade or the way his team is playing against his former team. two on for daniel murphy and murph, one-ups himself here and sends it down the line and right and it's fair. that's a three-run shot, two homers and five rbis. later in the evening, lynn smacks this one into the seats in right. murphy is loving it.

1-2. >> gets tucker barnhart swing and then he's angry, six innings and five strikeouts and he gave up three runs given up, but they were unearned. top seven to an old friend and his former teammate anthony rendon, and he questions the 19th home run of the season for tony and five home runs today for the nationals. 14-4 winners over the reds and that's what you call beating, folks. cub scouts in attendance. do you know why? not floppy hat day, it's the cubbies in town. i'm making a connection there. on the hill, not a good day for him. the 4-0 lead and chris bryant adds to that and hammers the ball to the seats left center, two-run shot. he had 3 2/3

k quintana had no problem and 12 strikeouts and seven shutout innings and the cubs blanked the birds 8-0. the only man in the hifty r history of wimbledon to ever win eight titles is who? you had to watch tonight, was it marin cilic or do you think it was roger federer? >> rog! >> i think i gave away the answer. the duke and duchess of cambridge came out to witness history from their buddy roger. he had cilic on the run and federer puts it away and he'd take the first set 6-3. second set, this is the trainer coming out for cilic. turns out even before the match he was battling a painful blister on his foot. it's heartbreaking to watch. he pushed on, but with the injury and roger being roger, too much, championship point here and it's an ace. roger federer wins his eighth

player. he has twin boys and twin girls. not all of them were amused with the win today. look at this little guy. >> they're, like, come on, it's dad's 19th grand slam title. look alive! they were just crazy on the inside with excitement. elena delladon out with a sprained ankle. she's out for the year meaning the mystics top two scorers in action and new york took advantage and this one all liberty and they lose
