>> know we're eating into weather. >> gary is a big paula fan. >> we need to take this seriously because it could be dangerous. >> it's going to be hot, you know? just prevent against ek sussive time spent out in the heat if you can tomorrow and especially on monday, too. you know, we haven't had heat like this. so we've had one day as it was a couple of days. 96 so far this summer season at national. believe it or not, we've had a can youle of showers out there. maybe you got a sprinkle or so driving out this evening. that's passing to the east now. some of the louds will linger on tonight. mid to upper 90s tomorrow. i think a couple of upper 90s are possible tomorrow away from the water. down towards fredericks, perhaps manassas and toward charlottesville. temperatures will be in the upper 90s and the heat index tomorrow. don't think necessarily we'll surpass 100 but we'll be right there buing up against 100 tomorrow late afternoon. it will be hotter on monday as it looks like on monday temperatures will get a little closer. the actual air temperature will get a little closer to 100 degrees. again, some folks south and southwest of the metro may be touching the triple digits with the actual air temperature. the humidity that we're gonna have, of course, we'll add probably about three to six degrees more in the feels-like category over the next couple of days. the warm front goes through tomorrow morning. we're going to be hazy, hot, humid. this bubble of hot air that has been so long way off to the west of us this summer will finally make a bit of an appearance on the east coast. again, we've been waiting on this for a while and e've been trending fairly comfortable this summer. that all changes now as this mini heat wave runs into us tomorrow, monday, tuesday. it's looking like wednesday we'll get a little bit of a break from the heat, but it wouldn't surprise me if this number for wednesday doesn't creep back up a little bit maybe 92, 93, as we actual i had start to get into the beginning part of next week. by the latter part of next week, temperatures in the 70s this evening. still 80 for raleigh. here's the heat bubble that extends all the way up into illinois and wisconsin this evening. shus is 89 degrees. the heat index out this at this hour is still 94. the high temperature today in st. louis was 97. it felt like it was between 103 and 106 with the heat index. this is a good gauge city. when the heat is on the run to the east coast, always look to st. louis tosee what they were. they were 97 for the high today. i think for tomorrow, we're going to be right in there as we tend to mirror their high temperatures with this type of setup and the hot air coming from the west. showers mainly staying to the north of us. a little bit of it touched us this evening. very, very late activity. the clouds move on off to the north of us tonight. some will linger, though. 73, upper 60s in the suburbs. very hot, very humid tomorrow. 96 for a high, but with the heat of the day and sunshine, it will feel like 100 degrees. if you can stay in tomorrow, stay in, stay cool, stay in he shade. do all those things. this is only a few days that we have to worry about this, and then it's going to get cooler in the middle to latter part of next week. so do all those things you know to do. plenty of knew id. not the booze, though. water is best, lemonade is obably good, too. 98 on monday. i think monday will be the hottest day of this little three to four-day heat wave that we have coming our way. >> okay. thank you, gary. so we have new additions to those popular bumper stickers that abbreviate popular beach destinations. now there is irq and afg, iraq and afghanistan. many americans have loved ones who have served or are serving there. now one local group wants to make it easier for military families to be noticed. >> it's totally irrelevant if you are for us being in afghanistan and iraq. totally irrelevant at all. what this is about is just supporting soldiers and nothing else. >> today, the group mailed out 5,000 stickers. if you'd like to learn more, head to myfoxdc.com and click on web links. we've all been there beforen the drive through lane weighing the best options for your health. >> what sounds good may actually be bad for you. the proof is in the numbers, and we are breaking down the worst offenders in just three minutes. ntth moms know kids need calcium... but they also need vitamin d to help absorb calcium. withoplait kids, trix yogurt and go-gurt, they get both. yoplait, the one for kids. go-gurt is specially made to freeze and thaw by lunch time?
