commute. the afternoon shower or thundershower is possible. we'll have less activity tomorrow than today. and not hot all week. that's good news. we don't see any 90s through the week. in fact, very few mid-80s through the week. all right overnight, we'll say partly to mostly cloudy, cool again. some patchy fog. 58 to 68. winds are out of the northeast at about 5 to 10. by morning returning partly cloudy and pleasant. 60s and 70s with light wind. so dry in the morning and no showers in the morning. by the afternoon, we need to keep a chance of the shower or thunderstorm in. notice this though. highs are 80 to 85. winds are out of the southeast. a pretty nice day on tuesday. and we might need your umbrella and your shades. we'll break it down, 6 -- 76 to 80 by noon with a slight chance of the shower or thunderstorm. not very stable tomorrow. so more likely just a passing shower as opposed to thunderstorms. the next thee days, green,

green, green for tuesday, wednesday, thursday. and that was a little smaller. so the shower or storm is possible on tuesday and wednesday. but temperatures are great. low to mid-80s. 80s on wednesday, 84, 85 on thursday. a better chance of showers on thursday. still not a big deal. the next seven days. we're looking at friday. a leftover shower, but still holding in the mid-80s. you cannot beat that and then on saturday, they had drop in. i always reserve the right to remove that. only monday. temperatures in the mid-80s. but it will be nice in their 90s. >> we like it if it goes away. >> yes, that's why i put it on out there. >> yeah. it will be very nice. new tonight at 11:00. student survivors of the earthquake in japan are wrapping up their tour of the united states. and here in d.c., they are in our country to learn more about the events of 9/11 and hurricane katrina. the kids visited new york and before coming to d.c. as they hope to take home lessons from our tragedies here in the state to help cope with their own

he wants the grand slam. he's going for it. a shot to the left. just beautiful shot! just shot short to the warning tracks as ey left 9 runners on base here at this point. this game is going to extras right now, still tied up, 4-4, the bottom of the 10th. and not some good news on the injury front for the nationals, the top draft pick. and he reinjured his elbow. and he may surgery. he'll have it examined by the same doctor who did the surgery. baltimore in arlington, texas, here is the rangers that we were talking about, game tied at one a piece. he breaks it open. he singles to the left for cruise and then the second one to beat the throw. that will be a great sack fly for you tonight, beating them 5- 1 the final. the pre-season football is all about building team chemistry and working out the

kinks. good thing that they will have two more pre-season games because they have a lot of work to do on both sides of the ball as they got back to work here today and trying to fix what is not working. rg3 looks less like the franchise quarterback tonight and more like a rookie, holding on to the ball for too long, trying to make things happen. but we heard how quick of a learner he is, as he plans to learn from them. and once you stop trying to make a play, that's when you start playing with fear, so i'm not going to play with fear and, you know, i will learn from that. to me it is very simple to learn from something like that. it is just something that happened in the game as you need to learn from it and move forward. >> and it will be lights out for the buffalo bills that cuts a veteran pass rusher today, sticking with their two younger guys. this would have been the 28- year-old's third year in buffalo as he finished the last two season on injured reserve. now, he was in the best shape of his career. so guys it will be interesting

whether or not he decides to retire or if somebody else picks him up. injuries can kind of plague them a little bit. >> they just paid him to go away. >> exactly. we'll be right back.
