by the time we get into saturday, it will come back. very nice day. low 80s on friday. partly sunny. then almost hot. going to feel hot relatively speaking on saturday of the isolated storm possible. high temperatures upper 80s to near 90s. weekend will be heating up a little bit. if you're watching hd you can see the weekend. all right. tonight overnight in detail partly cloudy. cool. mid-50s to mid-60s. that's really unbelievable. winds out of the north east at 10. saying this the past four or five days feels like a vermont summer. this is what you expect up there. temperatures in the 60s. 66 in gaithersburg. 68 in fredericksburg at this hour. tomorrow morning partly cloudy and mild. 60s and 70s. some 50s very early. winds north easterly at 10. by afternoon, clouds will be on the increase but still a pleasant day. high temperatures low 80s.

winds easterly at 10. clouds will come in and keep temperatures down a little bit. don't think we will see any showers. we will look at micro cast. tomorrow morning as the commute gets going. few clouds but dry. get into thursday quite a few clouds because the winds turn earl and we talked about this the past couple of days. sends kind of low level clouds our way. we could see a couple of showers tomorrow with this kind of pattern. don't think we will see any in the immediate metro area. i really think most will stay on the other side of the bay just a lot of clouds tomorrow but temperature wise very nice. clouds on friday. and clouds kind of linger into friday morning. even throughout the day on friday. but not much in terms of green blobs or showers. couple of showers down from fredericksburg and that is it. the clouds will do us a favor and keep us cool. so who is going to complain about that. satellite picture. radar combined. we see some big storms in parts of the plains states. big storms to the south and some showers off to the north and we will talk more about that as we get into the end of the weekend.

some of those showers could roll in here. all right. next seven days. low 80s tomorrow. clouds come in. no showers. then 83 on friday. so temperatures are great the next couple of days. inching up on saturday near 90. maybe a storm. maybe a shower on sunday. in the mid-80s. much better chance. this held true yesterday for storms on monday. maybe some big storms. then we cannot escape the 90s forever. 90 on tuesday and perhaps mid- 90s on wednesday which would be the hottest day of the year. >> april moves on but the memories remain. >> exactly. >> thank you, appreciate it. >> we like to think that sports is immune from politics. we know from bitter experience it has never been true. >> no and the honduras soccer team in town tonight and you know they were thinking about the political unrest that's going on in their country. not sure how they were able to focus on soccer. how honduras did at jfk tonight

likely asleep when the woman approached him, shot him in the head then twice in the chest then again in the head before turning the gun on herself. police also learned about the state of her mind leading up to the shooting. >> she had told friends and associates that her life was messed up and she was going to end it all. she also recently learned before this day she believed steve mcnair was involved with another woman and that too participated in her state of mind, we think. >> meanwhile police released this video tonight of the woman's dui arrest from last thursday night. steve mcnair was in the car at the time but not charged with any crime. he bailed her out of jail later that night. >> we transition back to sports. if you went downtown tonight to watch tennis you walked away disappointed. if you went as many do just to stare at anna.
