>> some areas hard hit and others spared? >> there was some pops in southern and central virginia, calvert county, prince george's county and we saw a shower through anne arundel county that was hefty at times. right now we are calming down. at least the doppler radar is quiet. i noticed a heavy downpour along i-70 north of frederick

but that should pass on through in the next 30 minutes or so. right now most of the action we're seeing is out toward the eastern shore. there is still a little bit around rehoboth, bethany beach and heading out to sea. right now the camera looking good. mainly partly cloudy skies for the overnight and clearing up toward sunrise but for right now, looking fantastic. temperature at ronald reagan airport at 75 degrees and we scoured out a lot of the humidity with the next worth west so we don't have too much of a heat index to deal with at least for the overnight. currently sitting in the 70s around the beltway. we will begin to push on down into the 60s for some of the northern and eastern zones later on tonight. the loop of satellite and radar shows what is moving off to the sea and we still have action in virginia, raleigh, and toward north carolina. overall a partly cloudy and muggy start to your sunday morning. we'll see some gradual clearing through midday and early afternoon. so if you have any plans before

so they've been putting in good work the last couple of days. and then the redskins offense has been getting all of the recognition, mostly thankfully to rg 3. but the defense deserves just as much. hear why they think they'll

>> one of the biggest competitions unfolds during training camp will be at the wide receiver position. the redskins acquired pierre garcon and josh morgan this off season and leonard hankerston and the veteran santana moss. and now they have added dameen brisko off waivers on friday and today he joined the competition in action. he led the tampa buccaneers with six touchdowns last season but now he is ready to make the most of his new opportunity. >> when you get released if a team you have to start over and that's the type of league we

are in it. we are professionals and everyone is good. so got to go in to camp expecting nothing is promised, to go out there and give your all. >> the redskins defense was their strength last season despite several new additions. they rank 13th in points allowed per game. that was a big upgrade from the year before. and this season a majority of the squad is back and according to them, they are even better. >> our personnel this year has grown together. not as many new faces as last year, a couple in the secondary, but the front 7, we are just lucky to play together and everyone is a year more experienced and a year better on the defense. >> and after 1 years in the league, former redskins full back mike sellers is hanging up his cleats. when the team cut him back in may he was the longest tenured player still on the roster. he reportedly will make the official announcement on monday. >> one night after getting

shutout by a rookie pitcher and seeing the six-game win streak snapped, the nats rebounded tonight in a big way. zimmerman going 6 innings and striking out six and the nats bats backed him up. cory brown filling in for a sick bryce harper. top of the 4th, cory brown gets the first hit of his procareer and it is a good one. a bomb to left center into the bullpen. nats on the board first. four batters later, tyler moore gets in on the action of the two run shot. the brewers add a run in the bottom of the inning to make it 3-1 but zimmerman fired back in the 5th. jordan zimmerman picked up his 8th win as a national and after the game davie is happy with the new guy cory brown. >> it is fun to see the guys have a good game. and he's been playing good. he hadn't got his hits but he looks better than he did last

year. >> orioles hosting the red hot oakland. in the 4th, out of the park. athletics have won nine of the last 10 games and take this 1, 6-1 the final. the results were known this morning but it was still exciting. men's 400 individual medley relay pitted the most decorated olympic swimmer against the world champ. we take you -- we have some photos for you. michael phelps set the world record in the 400 im in beijing and at that time said he would never swim it again. but he did. and in a quest for 7 medals. unfortunately, this wasn't one of them. fellow american ryan lochte bolted off the starting block and was never really challenged. lochte beat the pack by more than 3 seconds this morning. michael phelps finished fourth and off the medal stand. the women's basketball team is more of a favor to win gold than the men.

today the four time gold medalists got off to a sloppy start against croatia, struggling the first three quarters of the game. a week ago they beat croatia by 54 points and today just 25. 81-56 the final in that game. >> and the lady's soccer team breezing on through. in a match that yielded 30 fouls, abby wambach cruise into the quarterfinals -- 3-0. >> and back home,ib re heme oth, a nice goal. and d.c. united ended in a 1-1 draw. got to love soccer. >> m&t bank stadium the host of a friendly this afternoon between ham and liverpool. here is the best chance of the

match. harry cain sends the ball toward the goal and aaron hill ends it in a 0-0 draw. >> so do they come back angry like michael jordan and pounce this guy? >> in his post race interview he said he was so frustrated and had a bad race this morning and this afternoon and for the finals so i think he's never liked the 400 im. he dropped this from his training program. so i think the rest might work but this is not his event. but it is weird not to see him somewhere on the medal stand. >> got it. want to recap for us. >> great first half of the day for us tomorrow, watching for showers and storms late in the day that could impact some of your afternoon and evening plans. we'll keep you posted. >> thanks for watching. you can get your updates any time at wusa9.com. we'll see you back here tomorrow.
