away from us. elsewhere things are quiet. the north side of town it'st ngieheylutar n mheanylardand nog on. but a chance for showers and thunderstorms overnight. let's switch it over to the weather computer. take a look at the three-day trend going through the rest of the weekend. showers and storms will stay with us off and on through tomorrow it looks like. i don't think it will be a complete washout on sunday but a pretty good chance for rain. slight chance for showers. specifically for tonight the chance for shower or thunderstorm it's going to be muggy. the temperatures will drop down close to 70 degrees. during the day tomorrow, chance for showers and storms. but a peak of sunshine will get the temperature to push into the 80s. southwest wind at about 10-15 miles an hour. at the top of the hour, national airport 76 degrees with a dew point of 70. that's pretty thick. it feels a little soupy outside. other temperatures basically upper 70s to around 80s. 79 in fredericksburg.

74 at bwi. but 80 degrees at the top of the hour in hagerstown. here is the weather setup. the front that came through yesterday and triggered all of the weather is stalled off to the south and we're watching another system coming in from the west. another front dropping out of the great lakes. and this is the one here that is going to give us our showers and thunderstorms on sunday. right now it's producing showers and storms from detroit all the way back down to atlanta and dallas so it will slowly march its way towards us. that will stall keeping the slight chance for a shower in the forecast. it looks like it will clear up on tuesday. temperatures are going to stay about the same all the way through the middle of the week. mid to upper 80s. there's going to be some more thunderstorms on wednesday. and then i think we're going to string three dry days in a row. how about that. thursday, friday, saturday and it will get kind of warm going into next weekend with high temperatures around 90 degrees. but fairly decent chance for rain tonight and probably on sunday as well. >> okay. thanks, tony. fairfax county is beating out two canadian cities to host

as opposed to nothing. >> and the big thing, no injuries. with all due respect, tony pann, the redskins didn't need our esteem weather man to tell us it was really, really hot out there. temperatures reached the upper 80s but with the humidity as tony likes to call it soupy. it was feeling like mid 90s. and when you combine those temps with a growling practice, not everyone was able to make it all the way through. dehydration was an issue. williams who is working to get back into play and was just one of the weather's casualties and it afflicted a significant aguys. >> we had eight guys on that list. guys that are in tremendous shape. guys that are working to get in tremendous shape or whatever. i just think it's a matter of the heat and paying attention to what your body is telling you. so it's not a major concern. >> all right. and join us tomorrow for your

complete camp coverage. our nfl manager is going to be in to weigh on. >> a guy who was recently an unwelcomed subtraction. he did an about face and decided to come back. he'll be back on the field practicing with baltimore tomorrow. >> baseball and in a season the nationals have been called many things. but we will skip the negatives because after tonight one pirate rookies call them charitiable. the nats on the verge of losing four straight. and this popup to left should be a sacrafice fly. and that's about all he does. he doesn't come up with it. he comes home. the nats lead 1-0. but then a rookie takes over. first inning against craig stam enz. how about 4th inning tyler gone. a 3-run shot. and they went 4-five. three homeruns. the first pirate to do that at home since 1987. needless to say the nats lose

11-of. red sox at the orioles david hernandez on the mound. he wasn't bad. but kevin was better. his 19th of the year. he went four for four. leading boston to a 4-0 victory. united taking on the dine mow in houston. -- dynamo in houston. they would have to score a lot to win this one. bryan ching his second goal of the game. 3-0 houston. it should be over but it's not. down 4-two. a meal yoe the header here. but that's about as close as united could get. dynamo wins it 4-three. tiger woods would be the first to curse but woods was something to prove has become an issue for everyone else. tiger's first tournament since the british. this is the third round. tiger started the game tied for 5th. by the 17th he was one shot behind. cutting for the fringe.

draining the birdie. he has to share the lead. and the leader his fourth shot from the fringe no good. he double bogeyed that. so tiger has the lead. to the champion tour, former terp the chance to take the lead here. this is a 20 footer. and it's good. fred funk enters the final round with a one-shot lead over greg norman. >> way to go. all right. what does it look like? >> thunderstorms coming in later tonight off and on. all day tomorrow, i think. high near 86. >> okay. thanks a lot. have a good night everybody. we'll see you back here tomorrow. >> goodnight. hmmm... well... naaa... yeah! calculating for getaway. ♪ find your way to a perfect destination at busch gardens... and water country usa... where family-fun surrounds you... and world-class rides astound. start at buschgardens.com.
