like that. >> there you go. >> we didn't have to work too hard to find that one. it isn't going to be all that bad but it is going to be a lot warmer. we will have this return of humidity which we haven't had for a little while. we had a nice break from it around here but it's going to come back out of saturday and sunday, the worst humidity day is going to be sunday. it looks like that humidity will linger into monday too. not that you won't feel it tomorrow. it's going to be a little bit sticky out there but it definitely looks like sunday is going to be the more humid of the two. not bad today, though. 86 degrees. lots of sunshine. nice blue sky. relative humidity stayed in check so that was nice and comfortable. dulles was 84. bwi marshall was only up to 83 degrees. if you were lucky enough to be close to the bay, it was even cooler than that where temperatures stayed in the 70s most all day today. 89 tomorrow for a high. i think some of you will crack 90 degrees. it's certainly going to feel warmer than 90 about the humid -- with the humidity out there. it will be up to 90 on sunday. a chance of scattered thunderstorms late day and into the evening both days. it doesn't look like we're going to have widespread strong or severe thunderstorms. it just looks like some garden variety typical summer type thunderstorms late in the day. i should say too where we get some of those thunderstorms, there's going to be potential for some heavy rain. 89 for a high tomorrow. just about the same on sunday. 90 degrees there. 90 on monday. but notice for tuesday and wednesday of next week, we do begin to get a little break from the heat as some cooler air is coming down. high pressure is shifting off shore. we're still protected by the high pressure tonight. but as it scoots a little bit farther to the east, we begin to get return flow so it reaches down and pulls the humidity out of the southeast so that's coming in. big thunderstorms out here in the plains tonight. one complex moved out this morning. another one is building late this afternoon and this evening. very, very unsented weather is coming out of that area and humidity well to the south of us. and that's what's going to come rolling in here over the next 24 to 36 hours. a few clouds overnight tonight. fairly mild, though. temperatures will stay in the upper 60s to right around 70 degrees. a little bit more humid tomorrow. you'll definitely feel it and we have the chance for the late day and evening thunderstorms. high temperatures upper 80s and the lower 90s. and once this warm front comes through tomorrow night or late tomorrow night into tomorrow night, that's when i really think we're going to begin to get a lot of the humidity surging into the area. the higher dew points, it will feel much more muggy on sunday. again scattered thunderstorms in the afternoon and evening both days, even into monday, too. and we'll be waiting on that relief next week. we get a little bit cooler. lindsay is coming back with sports. you'll want to stick around for what she has to say when the edge continues. stay with us. the nats try to keep their winning streak intact. plus the world

team. scoreless in the second half when south africa took a 1-0 lead. it was a good moment for the entire team who did their own version of the macarena. for some reasonable i like this version a whole lot better. but mexico would rally in the 79th minute. raphael marquez would score to even the score. france and uruguay played to a scoreless draw. in redskins news the team has signed half of

players and rest up and start camp. >> tonight the nationals are in cleveland to face former manager manny acta. it's the first time acta will face the team that fired him last season. they'll get to see the nasty stuff of stephen strasburg in the rookie's second start. remember austin kearns? he wreaked havoc tonight. that one is gone a three-run shot. kearns hitting over .300 and his power numbers are back. another homer from kearns in the 4th, his second of the night, 7th of the year already. kearns hit under .200 with the nationals last year. now in the 7th, it's kearns again bidding for a third home run. this one he drives to the opposite field. nigel and roger collide but morgan makes the leaping catch as they both crash into the wall but the nationals cannot avoid the loss. their three-game winning streak is over. they lose big time 7-2. the mets in baltimore tonight, jason fay with a shot to center. look at adam jones. he's on t. makes the big back handed save. this
