few days. that's going to be your weather headlines out there. it's all about the heat. but what's the difference walking about the h? the advisory? the warning? so many different weather alerts out there. the watch means it co.d happen this weekend we're watching for the potential of dangerous heat. i know that it's going to happen, so this weekend we'll either see the excessive heat watch become an advisory, which is what we have tomorrow, or more serious warning. andvisory means the event is happening and it comes with the moderate risk. erwarning means it's a high risk situation out the. end i do think that especially on saturday,e going to be under an excessive heat warning. if you need another euse to stay indoors tomorrow, our air quality has already been rated poor, code orange out there. this paeshl is trespecially is those who have heart isates, respirry issues, the young and old. you might notice difficulty breathing outside with increased levels of ozone at the surface. by 8:00 a.m. we're already feeling like we're in the 80s. here's your future heat index,

you never want to leave them in a parked car. no amount of time even with the windows down is safe. saturday a high of 100. sunday a high of 99. so we're in storm te 4 weather alert mode through sunday night. maybe storms on sunday. monday, those storms come wi a cold front bring relief. it's still muggy. a high of 91. beaiful, though, bytuesday. lower humidity, mid-'80s. >> okay, we just have to hang on a few days. >> exactly. >> thanks, amelia. >> still ahead, the nats slugger stephen strasburg, you heard that right, slugger strassburg, that right, slugger strassburg, he put on aow sh intlanta a not all water is created equal.
