we get prime dry-aged beef in our store. but when you go to your grocery store, or your favorite meat market i want you to ask them to grind the brisket twice and that will get you close to this flavor. >> grind the brisket twice. fresh ground beef. now, my trick is take your thumb, push it in the middle. this keeps it from falling out. >> no seasoning. >> just grill a little salt and pepper. >> how do you keep it from flaring up? >> although it's a high fat content, a lot of that is going to burn off while we're cooking it. if you start getting flair ups, turn your fire down a little bit. next, for steaks. a flareup will ruin a steak. so we want to take your steak at room temperature, put it on the grill. 10 minutes per side, take it out and finish it in your oven. never cover the grill. when you cover the grill it cooks from the inside out the beauty of grilling is you want it to cook from the outside in. >> you have lots of flavors at your restaurant. a greek burger, turkey. lamb burgers. >> a cuban burger. lamb is made w

east coast is going to dry out over the next couple of days. next week or two, and it looks like all the wet weather is going to be in the northern plains this morning we have showers and storms rolling through areas from north dakota into northern minnesota. it looks like minneapolis will get missed by this batch of storms. but later this afternoon you could deal with strong storms. the reason the weather pattern is switching is that the cold front brought us a dry, beautiful air mass through almost all of the eastern half of the country. and now that that's pushed off the coast, everyone with the exception of florida is going to be dry and looking at just a picture-perfect, beautiful day today. now then central plains is where all the stormy weather is going to turn to. we could see a few tornadoes near minneapolis st. paul area, and minnesota, a little severe weather outbreak late this afternoon towards this evening. even omaha could see a strong storm. the bottom line for thursday, gorgeous from new england down through the southeast. that'

just the opposite problem there and that is very dry conditions.ditions are only going to get better from here. a little breezy but lots of sunshine. we got the rain out of here. yeah, nice-looking five-day forecast. a really nice-looking five-day forecast. here are your rain totals from yesterday. 1/4 inch at reagan national a little more than 1/2 at dulles and bwi marshall, about 1/3 inch of rain. we are thankful for all of it but it should be a nice-looking day. not expecting any additional rain today as we're all done with it. you can see we've got quiet conditions. we do have a couple of fronts coming through. the first one pushed off the coast and the second one which will bring in the noticeably drier air, that will start to push through this morning. conditions will gradually get better. there is the bigger look. you can see the frontal system that brought us the rain showers pushing off to the east. still some cloud cover lingering southern maryland, lower eastern shore. you will probably wake up to a little cloud cover but i think through

the dry casts performed very well. i think they are safe, but i think understanding how they behave over the long-term is important to ensure security and also continuing to work on the safety and security of spent fuel poles is important as well. . >>> you saying for a long-term perspective the dry cast storage, is it an acceptable option or do we need to move forward on regional or national depos tories? >> from my point of view we need to move forward. those dry casts are fine on the decade time scale if you are talking hundreds of thousands of years, there is no long-term guarantee. you need some kind of deep geologic depos tori. >> that's worth a centralized site? >> i believe so. >> within the authorities, they are focused on making certain that either the pool storage or the dry cast storage if fuel remains at sites for a longer duration of time can be done safely. they assessed they have the authority that it needs in order to put in place requirements to make sure that continues to be the case. as i noted earl

so that northwesterly wind, that's that drying wind.d a few gusts between 20 to 25 miles an hour. it will reflect gusty winds and showers. 8:00 right around 69. 60 around 11:00 and around 2:00, 3:00, 56 degrees waking back up to our temperature of 61 degrees. here's maryland's most powerful. we go up north. we have a band of showers, just a very unstable atmosphere aloft, high aloft. that's what's triggering the showers. this will be pivoting from north to south. we will see showers entering the picture after 6:00 going through the rest of the evening. it will go to the north. that will keep us unsettled, the clouds, cool conditions before we break out of this. we'll also keep the chance of breezy conditions into play. the low is keeping temperatures in the 50s to 60s. the real heat back down to the south and west, we will touch upon this. 90s and 100 degrees. so we'll start to warm up across the area. future trend showing scattered showers across the area, same deal for tomorrow with a temperature around 70 to 5 and the trend on wednes

water in a wet year is not as valuable as a water -- as water in a dry year. i appreciate your comments and it will make it a rich discussion come the workshop. additional public comments? >> it does it make sense for water conservation to be part of this matrix? >> yes. we are happy to add it if you go back to the presentation trade what peter did not mention is we show the big effective conservation in 2035 on top of the already low water usage. we will cut demand by 24% total with all the conservation measures. we need to bring forward how we're going to do it. is a lot. >> that's an ambitious program and it would have to be. thank you for that clarification. it would have to be something above and beyond what we are planning to do. i ask the question whether we have less than anything on the table and the answer i got back was no. we haven't left anything on the table with the possible exception that there may be some opportunities because of the automatic meter reading. at the time it was being analyzed, it was an expensive project all by itself. we are d

and so you need -- you don't need the dry casks but you can use them but you do need that spent fuel pool. and we know in terms of safety from recent experience with dry casks, both at the japanese facility in fukushima, and the one in virginia at north anna, where there was an earthquake last summer you guys might recall, those dry casks performed very well. so i think they are safe. but i think understanding how they behave over the long-term is important to ensure their security. and also continuing to work on the safety and security of spent fuel pools is important as well. >> so are you saying that from a long-term perspective, the dry cask storage, is it an acceptable option? or do we need to move forward on regional or national depositories? >> from my point of view, we absolutely need to move forward on national repositories. those dry casks are fine on the decade time scale if you're talking hundreds or thousands of years, you know, there's no -- no long-term guarantee. you need some keep of deep geologic repository. >> which is worth the risk of transportation and a central

the gusty winds help to dry it out. we haven't had any rain in the last few days or so, actually few weeks across the area. because of that we are dealing with most of the rain sinking into the ground and not adding my moisture to the surface. as for june, we're only down less than an inch, but for the year so far, we are approaching 7.5 inches down. keep in mind, we are approaching a holiday weekend where people will be using a lot of grills, camping and fire works. we're ahead of this just bringing you the concern that fire dangers are real if you're going to be out and about. keep that many mind. we'll have -- keep that in mind. we'll have more in just a few moments. now back inside. >>> trop ical storm debby has downgraded to a tropical depression. the storm made land fall in florida bringing more rain and flooding there. more than 2 feet of rain has fallen in some areas and manned tear evacuations -- manned datory evac-- mandatory evacuations are in effect. >>> ron matz is live with more on what eliyahu werdesheim

and it is breezy and dry and breezy. unfortunately for many spots around the north and east bay hills. the reason why heading into at least tomorrow morning we'll see the red flag warning up for the dry and gusty conditions. the temperatures tonight are pretty mild. you may notice especially in the inland valleys, it will be before 10:00 before things finally cool off. some steady cooling towards the middle part of the week before temperatures rebound once again. so the areas you see here in red, north bay, east bayhill tops, we've got the red flag warning up through 8:00 tomorrow morning. but the conditions staying dry into the afternoon, you may see that extended later in the day. check in with christina loren to see if the red flag warnings have been dropped for your afternoon. the pattern we have in place is sinking warming air aloft. the general rule is we see this air warm up 10 degrees celsius for every kilometer it drops. at 3,000 feet we're at 70 degrees. we drop halfway down. now we're up to 80 degrees. the air

we are not looking for rain, and it will be on the dry and breezy side. look at the forecast for tomorrow, low pressure to the north meaning a nice dry breeze and cooler temperatures may only get into upper 70s. and we may not get to 80. and the normal high is in the mid-80s, and we probably won't see that again until thursday and friday. mayory? >> thank you, bob. >>> he is already the most successful olympian of all time, and michael phelps is competing in the olympic trials in omaha, nebraska. and maryland already has phelps fever. high jessica. >> reporter: mary, in addition to everyone talking about phelps at the trial, a lot of discussion was about the t- shirt he was wearing. north baltimore -- excuse me. north baltimore aquatic club feature, and the must have -- mustache he shaved last night we are told w. 14 gold medals, michael phelps is looking to administrator to his collection. >> we all want to be the best we can be, and we want to win. that's how we are. >> reporter: in omaha, the olympic trials continue with phelps going head to head with
