skies and it's gloomy outside right now. northwest winds at 15 miles an hour. already breezy. going through the day, look at the temperatures. we're talking about mid to low 60s as we go through the afternoon. so it's going to feel a little different today. we're going to keep the gray skies in the forecast. a chance for maybe a light shower today. it's not going to be anything impacting the nats game. that's at 8:08 tonight. temperatures will be around 60 degrees throughout the game. the drizzle will stay in the forecast today and tomorrow. we'll talk about a weekend warmup and when we'll finally be dry straight ahead. happ goes back to the wall. and that ball is gone! a grand slam home run in the 8th. and a stunned silence falls over wrigley field. >> yeah. that silence soued

nationals park, which is always great. keep in mind, however, if you are headed to the game, metro is not going to be staying open late tonight. so that's going to affect a lot of people here. now, these are the tweets that adam tuss got last night after he reported that metro would not be staying up late. the majority of people not happy about the situation. they're trying to figure out how they're going to get home after the game. this game may very well go beyond when metro closes. just something to keep in mind here. now, if you are going to the game, here are some things to know. first of all, it gets under way at 8:00 tonight. the pitcher has not yet been named. the d.c. circulator bus talking about transportation, that is an option for folks. they're going to be actually staying open later than usual with service until 1:00 in the morning. a lot of people

uber and cabs as well. you just saw chris hoping to get tickets here. he came early, early. there are tickets available online from brokers if you're willing to pay. they are not cheap. standing room only, we found tickets for a hundred bucks. but you have to stand up for the game. lots of excitement. this place is going to be jumping in a matter of hours. back to you guys. >> absolutely. people would say, it's worth it just to be down there part of the excitement. you can't sit down anyway. megan, thank you. the countdown is on. we're hours away from the grand opening of the highly anticipated wharf along the southwest waterfront. >> that's right. it's a brand new beginning for an area with a long history in d.c. this is what southwest waterfront used to look like. used to serve as the main commercial waterfront here in the district. but look at it now. one of d.c.'s most ambitious development projects, retail, entertainment, restaurants and rental properties. here's a
