Another picture perfect evening, not really very reminiscent of july. We talk about temperatures. Were about 3 degrees cooler than we were this time yesterday, but more importantly were less humid. Well come back and talk about when the heat and humidity roll in back now on your only local news at 7 00 with a second angle on the breaking news from the last several days. Talking about the lyon sisters taking from wheaton mall back in 1975 and never seen again.

Weve got a lot more to tell you about toni ght. Youre watching your only local news at 7 00 right here on wusa9. Always watching always tracking, wusa9s first alert weather, d. C. s most accurate. You know, you could do a 3 degree guarantee tonight, but it would be really interesting to see what youre going to come up with on sunday. Sunday right now were resisting going triple digits as an actual temperature. We had to issue a yellow alert on sunday because of the excessive heat. We think well see heat indices over 110. Lets live in the present. Michael and son weather cam, now 82, just a gorgeous evening, relative humidity 51 , winds light. It doesnt get much better than this for july. Now that said not as cool tonight but comfortable. You know, we had temperatures in the 50s at dulles this morning and we had 56 at national this morning. Its only the third time this Month National has been in the 60s overnight. Friday warmer but still not humid and then the heat and humidity return and essentially set up camp this weekend. Sunday yellow alert for heat, again high temperatures 95 to 100. 10 00 tonight still very nice, temps not falling as fast or as far tonight but still very comfortable, 69 in gaithersburg and frederick at about 10 00, 71 in leesburg and about 70 at la plata, about 70 in bowie. Overnight a few clouds come through. Im just not buying these showers. Futurecast has been kind of emphatic on these showers. I see some showers across the bay, not necessarily on the west side of the bay. So a mix of sun and clouds tomorrow, perhaps you have a sprinkle if youre in southern maryland, other than that a mix of clouds and sun. By 1 00 weve got 80s, 82 in leesburg, 83 downtown and again well say partly sunny skies. Humidity begins to increase tomorrow, too. 85 by 5 00, 84 in manassas and leesburg, but the good news about the humidity increasing tomorrow, it wont become uncomfortable until tomorrow night and then over the weekend. By 8 00 tomorrow night you can do stuff outside, 81 downtown still, temps in the upper 70s in the suburbs, but its dry, all the showers back in the mountains. So tonight partly cloudy, not quite as cool but comfortable, low temperatures 62 to about 70 with light winds. So on the day planner we have 70 to start these are downtown temps 72 at 7 00, 75 at 9 00, up to 80 by 11 00 and 83 with partly sunny skies. By 1 00 clouds will move in kind of in and out throughout much of the day. So saturday hot again but not yellow alert worthy just yet, low 90s and just a slight chance of an isolated storm, very hot sunday, yellow alert, 908, just a slight 98, just a slight chance of an isolated thunderstorm. Next seven days, it just stays hot, 90s monday through thursday with an isolated storm. Nats in town friday through wednesday. You cannot make it to the ballpark, you can watch nats on 9 tomorrow and also on sunday. If you go to the game on sunday, be careful because temperatures will be in the upper 90s.
