the 90-degree days. plus, watching for a couple more storms midweek. then a huge cool off coming in for the tail of the week into next weekend. right now, it's been pretty quiet all day long. unfortunately, not the case across parts of the gulf coast, where they have been dealing with the storm system that has stayed stagnant for the past several days. the good news it's starting to weaken just a bit, and will be pushing to the north and east, across parts of the north midwest. also, down there in houston, looking at heavy rains as well. so far out there in louisiana, the entire state

there, no question he would have been number 1, but brock took his talents to the niners. osweiler sacked before he completed a pass. he was 4 of 7, with a quarterback rating of just 65.8. but his texans won. the final score was 24-13. here with the broncos next week then play saturday at mile high. a game by the way you can see right here on channel 20. cody latimer is hoping to play as well

touchdown in his first preseason game. no baseball player is playing better than charlie blackmon. only up with team is playing worse than the rockies. swept in philadelphia, despite the super heroics of charlie. blackman belted two home runs out of the park today. that's five homers in three games in philadelphia. it's also eight in his last nine games. nine gamin batting average of .548, thanks to 23 hits, 14 runs scored, and 14 runs batted in. absolutely incredible. then there's the rest of the rockies. not so good. colorado had 4 errors today, giving them 7 for this series. philly won the series and the sweep, and won today's game 7- 6. colorado has now lost 7 of their last 8. >> certainly not clicking, but, never quit no matter what the circumstances or the odds are. still fight to the last out, and you know, that's what we've been doing. we've come up on the short end, but we don't quit. everyone in the united states stops what their doing when michael phelps swims. but everyone in the world does it when usain bolt runs. the men's 100. the glamour event of the olympics. the race that determines the fastest man on the planet. bolt's owned that title for straight olympics. tonight, the man from jamaica tried to hold off american justin gatlin. thought gatlin had him. i thought wrong. no one closes like bolt. 9.81, to a 9.89. it was that close. usain bolt though, does it again. he is again, the fastest man on planet earth. former cu buff and world laps. on the fourth lap, she was caught and passed by three runners. her time, good enough for fourth

ran a 5 30-mile for 26.2 miles. only good enough for 6. >> i can't even wrap my mind around that. that is an insane amount of talent, still very proud. >> it would take me about 12 minutes to run a mile. so they're annoying, no one likes them, we have sprays and candles to try and keep them festival for the mosquito. >> there sure is, it's happening in russia. and comes complete with competitions like mosquito hunting, and who can get the most mosquito bites. eww. a jury counts, there's a prize for the most bites. this year's winner was a 9-year- old girl. she had 43 bites. apparently zika is not a concern there. there's only been a few cases, and they've been coming from people overseas. not even those kids. >> eww, seriously. welts on the leg and a trophy. switch gears. weather, weather. so we're going to be looking at a hot day in the 90s tomorrow. upper 80s, low 90s for most of the workweek. there's that storm, friday, saturday, bringing us hopefully
