robert griffin iii is ready to work. says he is fortunate to be playing in the nation's capital. >> it is a blessing. nobody gets a chance to come to the capital city of the united states and be the quarterback in that town. i definitely look at it as a blessing and the fans are starved for success but the players and the locker room are starved for success as well. they want to show people what they are made up. >> he said he is the football mask over the total body of work. >> adam caskey is here and 72 degrees. >> record-challenging key to this afternoon and a record high as 103 degrees today. at least 100 degrees today. temperatures will fall slowly the next couple of days. we will take a look at the radar in a few seconds but the temperatures look like this. cumberland has some rain and are 64 degrees. there's a chance of a few severe storms later this afternoon. it looks at the temperatures will be near 100 with the heat index 105-109 degrees. we have a heat advisory in effect for the vast majority of our viewing a

can i talk a little bit basel iii? it came up in a conversation yesterday with a small desk medium-sized bank in colorado. with dodd-frank, we established lower limits. either it was a tenor $15 billion sized institution and if you are above that, you have many more things that you have to do whether it is dealing with derivatives or the like. as i understand it now, these basel iii regulations that could become world wide regulations are going down to $500 million and it would take into consideration lots of smaller banks and we are -- they are fearful that it will dry up their liquidity. >> certain parts of basel iii are being proposed. there are some basic capital definitions. the idea is to make sure that small banks and will banks are well capitalized. many of the aspects of basel iii do not apply to small banks. things like derivative of books are not relevant to small banks and their other roles such as the international leverage ratio which only applies to the larger banks. >> i want to impress on you, if i cou

of course, the spotlight on robert griffin iii. fans clamoring to see him up close.s the first day we got a chance to see him practice with the entire team. now, he wasn't as sharp as we saw him during mini camp. he did throw a few ducks at receivers, but after every play way go over to offensive coordinator kyle shanahan, get a little bit of coaching before moving on. all in all, a pretty good first day at school. and his teammates were equally impressed. they feel like the offense is in good hands. >> he's got his hands full. he's got a huge task ahead of him, being the leader of his team, but any time you got a guy like that who not only is talented, but also wants to win what cares about him and has a work ethic, you set yourself up for good things. >> he's a very composed young guy. he's ready. he's definitely the total page. >> later in sports, we'll take a closer look at r g iii and all that pressure that he's under this season. plus, brian orakpo poking a little fun at the new star. >> i'm sure he can take it. >> looking forward to that. >>> still ahead -- >>

robert griffin, iii is now officially a redskin. rg3 missed the last two days of camp trying to work out those final contract details, but the redskins tweeted out this picture of rg3 this morning signing on the dotted line. after that he joined his fellow rookies in ashburn on the practice field. rg3 signed a four-year deal worth $21.12 million including a $13.8 million signing bonus. rg3 will make just under $400,000 in his rookie year, which is the rookie minimum. the holdup was deciding what happens if he is released. if that happens before the four years is up, rg3 get paid the remainder of his deal. now redskins also with 3rd round punish joshua rebus which means every member has now been signed. we'll have more details at 6:00. >> that is kristen berset, not fish, kristin -- not -- fish, i i'm -- a big warning through shelve and we'll track them all for you as -- cheverly and we'll track them all for you as we have declared today severe weather alert today. >>> a small rally in front of the wilson building today for d.c. mayo
