couple of days. 77 downtown. 75 in quantico and 79 in fredericksburg. so temperatures very mild despite the fact that we've had cloud cover. tomorrow morning, mostly cloudy, mild, a shower possible, but again not much. temperatures in the 60s and 70s and winds southwesterly at 10. by afternoon, partly sunny and warmer. we'll see breaks in the clouds tomorrow and high temperatures near 85. showers and a thunderstorm. winds will turn southwesterly at 10. satellite picture, radar combined, a few sprinkles but for the most part, nothing heavy going on and it looks like that is going to hold tonight and tomorrow and maybe we get a thunderstorm on thursday. all right, next seven days. 84 tomorrow. shower or storm. a better chance on thursday. 86. cooler on friday. we are back in the mid 70s. saturday we changed a little bit. clouds coming in, maybe a shower before the maryland game. we'll try to salvage the second half of sunday.

showers and rain in the morning. high temperatures back in the upper 70s. monday not bad. upper 70s, maybe a shower, and cooler on tuesday, but dry temperatures around 70. >> all right, thanks top. >> one of our favorite segments. gbu. >> watch out for the marching band in this clip. this is one of my favorite clips, just because of the irony. it's our weekly look at the excellent and not so excellent in the world of sports. it's the good, the bad, and the ugly. we start with the good, best catch by a player not in the game. blue jays reliever is over in the bullpen getting ready to warm up when he snags the liner with his hat. which up in toronto, they call a hask. best tennis come by, novak, semifinalist. he is at the net. finally on the sixth one, he knows he is a dead duck, so he leads with his rump and

thankfully fed didn't hurt him, that would be the first injury in tennis history. best accidental interception, the giants, phillips, watch this pass from tony romo. it bounces off the heel of the tight end. the unsuspecting hands of phillips picks it up. it didn't hit the ground and that was lucky. best name, i don't know if you saw this in the re skins game. that is rams player, ah you. it sounds like they are mad at him. got to go through life with au you. notre dame receiver makes a great catch here, but he thinks he is running into his own marching band. you see michigan state marching band and he does a little dive here into them and they just -- that's so classic. i have seen that at concerts where guys dive and everybody just parts. >> that's not good.

>> worst friendly fire, florida state runningback breaks through the line. appears to be heading towards a touchdown. that's his own man, a wide receiver. good hit, wrong team. closest call on a texas return man, jordan shiply. 46-yard touchdown, but merely runs into the bull. you think that's wise to put a 2,000 pound flank steak with horns on him right there in the end zone? because you could be shish kabob in a hurry. and thankfully it didn't happen. the last tournament of the golf season. he needs to make a two yard put and earn a spot in the tour championship. misses it, and then misses the next one. drops to 33rd on the money list. those two puts cost him $100,000 and a place in the year end. >> finally, most vicious hit

in a preseason game. catches kyle octoso with his head down. i'll ask you to watch that again. his teammates didn't like it. i mean, wouldn't you say for a preseason game that that's -- they had to ambulance him out of the arena. he was okay. he had a concussion. i'm just saying, the game doesn't count. can we at least -- hockey is violent, we are going to fight, but save it for october. >> really. yeah. thanks. just ahead, a 3-1 skin treatment that wipes away sun damage, wrinkles, and more. i'll show you how it shows after the break. and we are always on on wusa9.com. tonight's living well segment is next. stay with us. crest whitestrips has created a strip so revolutionary...

we are so busy taking care of other people that sometimes we don't take care of ourselves. >> for those patients, dermatologist, elizabeth offers a series of quick, but effective treatments she calls the skin pick me up package. in sarah's case, damage from a summertime outside with her kids is the priority. >> i have freckles everywhere, all over my face, and that's going to add to that aging that i don't want. >> okay. sarah is a very active mom. she is always outside and it's difficult to apply the sunscreen all the time. we are starting to see the early signs of sun damage. we can treat it. >> first, she injects botox to soften lines. then she uses the laze r, which causes freckles to flake off in about five days. she applies a light to medium facial peel. three back to back procedures

and a recovery period rolled into one. >> for the first two days after the treatment, she is going to look very red. then her skin is going to turn dry and start to peel for the next two days. after five days, she is completely recovered. her skin will look beautiful and fresh. >> her freckles are lighter and her upper lip lines have started to go away. >> it's wonderful. i love it. >> she says the risk to the laser resurfacing is minimal as long as the person isn't tan at the time of treatment. so lose the summer glow before you get it done. total cost for this skin pick me up package starts at a thousand dollars and goes up. then join me tonight at 11:00 for a diet plan that claims to help people lose a pound or two a day without all the heavy lifting. the alleged secret weapon that is all the buzz and its downsides. we will talk it tonight only on 9news now at 11:00. topper, let's go back to you. >> happy fall, everyone.
