change what we feel. the heat index will pop up. feels like it's 112 in manassas and 108 downtown and 114 in leesburg. 112 in frederick. so, forecast tomorrow, we'll dial it back a couple of degrees. isolated thunderstorms are our only hope. 99 on saturday and 96 on sunday with just an isolated thunderstorm. so, that was the latest. an excessive heat warning goes until 9:00. we'll come back and let you know when a warning will be issued tomorrow. >> take it easy out there. today is not the kind of day many people like to spend outside, but organizers of this year's festival are hoping that's not the case. i'm surae chin on the national mall. despite the dangerous scorching heat, thousands have come out to the festival. >> we are hot. >> nothing like a little -- >> shaved ice. >> to keep from melting in the summer sun down at the festival. >> i don't think our body can take it.

crews are bringing in cranes to try and help remove the rubble from a collapsed warehouse. a warehouse where they believe a worker is still trapped inside. scott broom has been on the scene all day and joins us live with what's going on as far as the progress. >> it is an agonizing operation. you can see the cranes are here. the lights are here. they're going to be working into the night. they are trying to save. 46-year-old warehouse weeker, rowland haggins of washington. >> you see japan, , all of the different earthquakes. they create voids so people have stayed in for weeks. and been pulled out alive. >> he was on the forklift when it happened, he could have barricade the himself inside the forklift. the forklift has a steel cage around it. he's probably in the forklift and probably just sitting and waiting until some help gets to

newspapers around the country all focused on the same story this morning. the supreme court's decision to uphold the affordable care act. at the united medical center, they didn't need to check the headlines. they are convinced the affordable care act will save the hospital and city perhaps hundreds and millions oaf dollars. bruce leshan was there. >> i was -- i don't know how to explain it. >> every adult feels like the supreme court has lifted a huge weight off his shoulders. he is sure now that doctors will treat his diabetes. >> not everybody has health insurance. >> for andrea, it is reloaf for her 16-year-old doctor, who also has diabetes. >> as she gets older, the health providers won't dediscriminate about her preexisting condition. >> for 70-year-old maria reynolds, there's the hope she can finally pay for her medications and the hip surgery she needs.

pays states to expand medicaid to everyone below 133% of the poverty line. it mandates everyone buy insurance, but it offers help to people without enough money to pay for it. folks are searching for shade and hopefully drinking plenty of water out at congressional country club in bethesda today. mike and derek mcginty are over the 18th green in the shade, but boy, still out in the heat. hey guys. >> we are sweltering just a bit. we have the community towel, but it's a little rough here. topper shutt may not want you to know this, but he's not the only meteorologist here. the responsibility of a guy named stewart william. he has been doing that job for 18 years. >> his primary concern is lightning. he's using all the various computers and forecasting equipment. he brings it. they even put out a lightning detector, which measures the electricity in the area. >> we give them advanced warning when we expect the

storm is going to hit and they can clear the golf course and then once we have cleared the golf course, we help determine whether is whether is it safe to go back out? >> not to say the heat isn't a concern. he mondayers the heat and humidity and heat indexes. when it gets hot like this, he warns us that the tour, so officials can accommodate the fans and provide safety as well. >> okay. now a lot more coming up from congressional and if you watch the pga tour, you know that the pga tour is committed to charity. coming up, we'll talk to one of the player who's had a great day today and talk about money being raised to help the needy kids. anita and lesli, back to you. >> thanks so much. coming up tonight on 9news at 7:00. a woman many blame for the appeal. finds out if she will keep her position on the board of visitors. a anita, we'll see you

then. we'll have a lock at this weekend's fare hikes coming up.

welcome back to the at&t national at congressional country club and our exclusive coverage. we are ryan palmer who just got off the course not too long ago. he is from texas. amarillo, texas. >> i heard he's a cowboy fan. >> we let him on the stage anyways. and how did you do?

minus 4 today? >> it was a good day. two bogies. hit great and putted good. yesterday i didn't play very well, but i survived at 3 over. god run today. >> talk about the course, the speed of the fairways. compare them to yesterday. >> pretty similar. the green is firmer with the heat. but this golf course is hard. it is augusta-like speeds and greens. obviously rough stick. but it's, i guess you're looking at a 5 par winner. >> let's talk about your company here that you have along with you. he walks with you everywhere he goes and it's not this easy. talk about it. >> it's cool what d.j. does. he walks with a different player every week. and we talked a couple weeks ago about doing this week. he can explain more about what he does.

he walks walks se walks cerebral palsy. >> now why do you do it? what's the cause? >> you know, the fifth year i have done every event and third year i've had the foundation. i really just want to -- i do it to help raise money for children's charities. to help kids achieve their own goals and dreams. i want to help kids. >> is there ever a time you say it's too hot and too hard? >> i would never do that. these guys are playing for me. i'm going to be supporting them. >> you know, he's walking with cerebral palsy. he does it every single tour stop all four rounds. you're walking 12 miles a week. >> brian, we appreciate you stopping by. and best of luck tomorrow. >> thanks a lot. >> guys, back to you in the studio. >> all right, we'll try not to

worry about that community towel out there. thank you gentleman. still ahead, problems bring part of the red line to a halt this afternoon. we're going to tell you when it was and what happened.

a suspicious package brought part of the red line to a stop today. it was found in the 4800 block of fort cotton road, not far from the tracks. turned out to be nothing.

but buses were carrying passengers between the rhode island avenue and the stations for about two hours. >> after months of debate, congress gave final approval to a massive transportation bill today. the measure approves $105 for transportation projects in over the next 27 months. lawmakers say it will create or save about 3 million jobs. the bill also includes the nation's first federal safety standards and oversight for transit agencies like metro. that provision is a direct result of that deadly crash three years ago. >> tonight is the loudoun county board of supervisors last work session to try and sort out the funding for the silver line. the group has a july 4 deadline to commit to the dulles rail project. and metro is boosting its own by increasing fares. starting sunday, parking fees will go up by a quarter and bus fares by about 10 cents. now the trains are a bit more complicated since it depends on

where you're going. but the lowest fare will go from $1.95 to $2.10 during the peek hours. offpeek, it goes from $1.60 to $1.70. metro will start charging $1 surcharge for any trip that uses a paper fare card. wish you had more time to relax this weekend? you will. you'll have an entire extra second. so make the most of it. and why an extra second? every once in a while, international time keepers feel generous. they add a leep second to make up for a tiny slowdown in the earth's rotation caused by the gravitational pull of the sun, the moon, and the ocean tide. a leap second will be added saturday night at 7:59 and 59 seconds. if you blink, you will miss it. >> i think we need extra time to enjoy this heat, you know. i think that's a good thing. >> maybe it is good we only have a second. >> really. all right lesli, we broke a lot of records today and we still have an excessive heat warning until 9:00 tonight.

so it is still very, very hot. you might think 5:00, 6:00, it gets better, it doesn't. the high temperature occurs between 5:00 p.m. and 5:30. it is still almost the peek heating of the day. let's start with the temperatures, because this tells the story and we'll add in the humidity. 104 at national today was a record. right now it's down to a comfortable 103. 100 at andrews, two digit numbers make me feel better. 102 in frederick and 99 in hagerstown. if you factor in the humidity, 108 downtown and 112 in frederick. anything over 105 is kind of dangerous. you need to sort of be careful if you are outside, even if you are doing normal things, you can have problems doing with this type of heat. so, tomorrow. at congressional. an isolated thunderstorm is possible. we'll say 99. maybe wishful thinking. 96 on sunday. better chance of a thunderstorm on sunday. so, here's the deal. the record, we broke two of the

three records. we, the record high at national was actually 104. drink lots and lots of water. i mean, more water than you think you need. get out of the full sun and of course eat light meals. digesting when you're hot is very, very hard on your body. what about the outside story? excessive heat warning. that means heat indexes between 110 and 115. we just showed you a bunch at 112. that's why we are under the excessive heat warning until 9:00 tonight. we'll probably see a warning again tomorrow. right now we are under a watch for tomorrow. now in terms of the record, we broke downtown record was 101. set in 34. we smashed that 104 and dulles, we knew dulles was going to fall. but their records go back. they have a smaller data base. we smashed that at 102. bwi not quite. 105 in baltimore. record 103.

we topped out. so, here's the deal. tonight, early isolated thunderstorm. although right now, radar is clear as a bell. muggy, lows only 72 in the suburbs. by morning, we're looking at partly cloudy skies. hot by lunchtime. mid 90s by lunchtime and very little wind. by afternoon, an isolated thunderstorm is possible, but not likely. anything that develops could be heavy, but they will be few and far between. high temperatures 96 to 30. that's about 100. the next three days, we're going to go code yellow for the alerts tomorrow, sunday, and monday. 99 tomorrow. 96 on sunday. and 95 on monday. temperatures are going in the right direction. but on the seven-day, they spike up on tuesday and wednesday and go back down next wednesday and thursday. so 96, that's are in town. 98 for fourth of july. pretty good chance of storms on thursday with a frontal

boundary and we go back to 89 on friday with some sunshine. i just got this information. a joint resolution of congress that just passed. this is just in. derek mcginty shorts are illegal. that is just come in. >> a long way to go. >> makes you wish it were funnier. >> your shorts are pretty darn funny, my friend. did they come with batteries? >> my pepco bill is higher than it would be. >> all right dave, you have sports. save me. >> been walking around here all day. beautiful, hot. beautiful back here. the view. hot. we all know that. heat indexes 109 degrees out here. tiger talking patience after a round of ups and downs. the wizards, they are in the news as well. bradley beale in the house. sports is next.

now, 9sports with dave owen. the best sports in town. >> heat indexes up to 109 degrees today. players hoping they are in the morning session so they can take advantage of some of the cooler temperatures and some of the slower playing conditions. tiger woods, one of those guys kicking it off in the am.

had a nice eagle on his front nine, but his back nine didn't start well after missing the fareway. he couldn't convert this put for par, so he fell back to even. he did rally in the stretch. a birdie on his 17th hole. one of two on his back nine. wood shot a 68, finished two under on the day. man of the afternoon was hunter tearing up the course in the afternoon. birdie 5 holes on the front nine. finished up seven under. so let's hear from some of those major players. fellas, speak. >> just one of those days where just be patient. choose something, that would have been a good score and shot 68 today, which was, i thought was a very good score. >> i thought it played yesterday. i think the fareways were slower yesterday than when we finished last night, but the greens were still very firm. >> top of the board. a crowded house. there's 7 under. robert making a move in the morning. 4 under 67. tiger 5 strokes back.

some other notables. plus for the youngsters struggling. local favorite, billy hurlly. annapolis grad at plus one. >> this guy right here is tough. that's brent hennly. caddy for robert, cut his head in the caddy trailer yesterday before the round and needed 40 stitches. but did he call in sick today? nope. duty and a paycheck called. >> i'm glad he let me get back. he played yesterday. i had to get back out here. he shot 78, i may have taken another day off. that's one under, make sure you don't get your bag stolen from you. >> i love the nature valley tag on his head. last night, the team selecting florida guard, bradley beale with the third pick. the guard making his appearance in d.c. today. he is ready to ball with wall. >> i talked before this. i told him, he's like, you may

be right. look to where we are now. i'm really looking forward to t. this is going it be great. i can't wait. >> ladies, he cannot wait to put on that wizards gear. let's wrap it up. 7 under. 5 under on the day. he had an outstanding day. he leads the top of the leader board by 2. tiger woods in the neighborhood. he's at 2 under after a 68 this afternoon. clubhouse report coming up tonight. we will wrap up all of the highlights. for now, we're at congressional live. back to you ladies in the cool, cool studios. >> i hope it cools down for you a little bit soon, too. that's it for us on 9news at 6:00. the cbs evening news is next. anita will see you at 7:00 with the area's only local newscast. wusa9.com is always on. stay cool out there.
