lightning, frequent lightning coming through with this area. folks, if you can hear the thunder, it's way too close, and you need to get inside. you know that for sure, and the little ones if they're outside playing, inside too. london town, this one cell we're watching around prince george's county, around anne arundel county, heading toward london town in the next nine minutes and tillman, 52 and then eventually st. michaels. those are not the only storms out there. you can see how big this complex is moving southeast at 20 miles per hour. and then there is another area that's just down to the south. it's around charles county, around king george county and it's moving toward areas like montrose and st. george island. the impact with this, frequent lightning, damaging winds, and

anne arundel county. howard county, too, in baltimore. and to the south, for king george and for stafford county. and this goes up until about 6:30 or 7:00 or so. so remember, turn around, don't drown. we're seeing some awfully high rainfall rates out of these thunderstorms coming through. but it's definitely cooling us down. unofficially, up to the 91. now we're seeing temperatures in the 80s. and overnight, the first time they have dropped this low since early wednesday morning. i'll have more in a little bit. >> all right. thank you, veronica. as norway mourns those killed in friday's bombing and mass shooting, suspect anders bravic was in court entering a not guilty plea, despite the fact he admitted to carrying out the attacks. jay gray has the latest reaction now from oslo. >> reporter: a very important day here, two developing situations surrounding the tragedy. let's start with the courtroom. the suspect in court today, and, again admitting to the killing spree. but saying he does not deserve to be punished. these are his words. he said it was done because he had to stop cultural marxism and also muslim domination across western europe. he also tried to read from his manifesto, a 1,500 page document, but the judge cut him off during the session. he will be held for eight more weeks, four of those in isolation. and then there will be another hearing. another story developing here is all of this. take a look down the way here. and you can see this growing memorial. thousands of people, in fact, 150,000 people pouring into the downtown oslo area today. all of them bringing with them flowers or candles or poems. at one point, very touching. a bunch of emergency medical personnel parted the sea of people, walked up to the memorial, many of them crying, delivering flowers. there was a rousing ovation for the men and women. and then spontaneously, the crowd began to sing the national anthem here. it was a moving moment. there will be several more. they're beginning to understand in this city and across the country that this is going to take some time to get through. that's the very latest here in oslo. i'm jay gray. now back to you. >> and the death toll in the norway attacks now stands at 76. a 7-month-old baby boy who disappeared friday is now safe and sound with his mom. this is video of the mom arriving at children's hospital

prevent a government default next week. steve handelsman reports now, time is running out. >> reporter: with a week left, president obama was with latino activists at midday, on the sidelines. after a weekend of failing to cut a bipartisan deal. >> believe me, the idea of doing things on my own is very tempting. >> reporter: he still wants a plan that hikes taxes to avoid deep medicare cuts. >> the best way to take on our deficit is with a balanced approach. one where the wealthiest americans and biggest corporations pay their fair too. >> reporter: but balance looks dead for now on capitol hill. house speaker boehner is proposing raising the debt ceiling and cutting spending $2.5 trillion in two stages. with a vote now and another in 2012, no tax hikes. that's the republican offer. >> we laid out a framework. no new taxes, and we will not raise the debt limit more than we actually find cuts. >> reporter: senate democratic leader reid would hike the borrowing limit $2.7 trillion through 2012 with matching cuts, no tax hikes. >> any serious debt reduction plan must include revenues. but in the interest of preventing a default, we can have the fight on revenues later. >> so now all of the republicans have to do is say, yes. >> reporter: house democrats said just make the deal. >> find common ground, lift the debt ceiling, and let's restore stability in the lives of our citizens. >> reporter: but both parties' proposals, running just through next year, guarantees the spending and tax hike will dominate the 2012 campaign. right now, default looms so large that secretary of state clinton today in hong kong had to reassure the chinese who hold $1 trillion in u.s. bonds that a debt ceiling deal will get done. i'm steve handelsman, news4, capitol hill. and the republicans are holding a news conference right now. let's listen in. >> we're more concerned about the policies and where this country is going. this plan today is one that the speaker sat down with the other side of the aisle in the senate. it's one that we have worked together that would make some current cuts, put some caps in, for long-term. to put us on the right path. it brings up the argument, and the -- where the republicans are here, wanting a balanced budget. the opportunity to have it. i think what has to transpire now is the president has to change his ways. the president has to start putting people before politics. >> well, it's july 25th, and many things have not changed. one, it's over 800 days and the senate under harry reid have yet to pass a budget. they have yet to pass a plan to deal with the debt crisis, much less one before august 2nd. the president of the united states has yet to put forward a plan and can only make it even more clear that what he is focused upon is the next election. >> and the back and forth continues there. the republicans speaking now. meanwhile, in other news today, an unattended bag triggered a security scare at new york's kennedy

57 days during the season. this happened during the off season, so i think there was a minimum amount of fallout, but they got an awful lot done in the final analysis. >> reporter: for football fans, it's welcome news. now the league is hustling to get ready for a season that starts in just 45 days. in the meantime, the players have to drop their lawsuit and reform their union, which they

what's going on? >> what's going on is that you can actually get dehydrated when in the pool. people don't think about this, because the usual signs of dehydration are not there. you're not spread spreading, but you can be thirsty. and there were plenty of swimmers because they were slow, fatigued and dehydrated. so you need to watch out for that. you have seen a lot more complaints about headaches too. of what's going on there? >> headaches is primarily because when you jump in the pool and get the water up your nose, you know how that stings and that's a big reason for the headache. what happens further, it's not the same composition as normal water that goes up your nose. so it stings. but what people really need to be aware of, this actually makes you more predisposed to get allergy. so if this is a time of year where you would get allergy, don't be jumping in the pool without your nose plugs on, because you'll just make it worse. worse headaches, worsening allergies. >> you deal with a lot of allergies. you also deal with asthma, too. is this an issue in the water? >> this has actually been a controversial issue. swimming has always been the perfect sport for asthmatics. amy van dike in 1996, olympic gold medal winner, so that proves you can have asthma and do a sport. but what the controversy has been, asthma, a good sport because you're breathing in humid mied air or a bad sport because of the chlorine? it's 100 degrees out, chlorine pool, a tremendous amount of air trapped, and it affects not only the swimmers but also the spectators. so the parents were getting an awful lot of respiratory symptoms just because of the high levels of chlorine. >> something we don't think about. we all know there is risks to athletes in the heat. is there risk to swimmers too? >> there is. and there's an unfortunate example of what happened last summer at a swim meet where a competitive swimmer was swimming, it was 105 degrees and the water was 87 degrees. that's not cold enough to cool you off. the same way we give football players a break, we've got to give swimmers a break. they need to go inside the air conditioning and cool off. because you can get heatstroke, and unfortunately, you can die. >> whoa. okay. we also hear about sunburns. but you're hearing about some sunburns catching people by surprise. >> i had a bunch of patients come in last week that all thought they were allergic to their antibiotics and they may be on aeblts for things like acne medication. what happens, when there is that little label that says don't go out in the sun, it means it. because what happens is you'll get a worsening sunburn than you're ever meant to get. so be careful with that. >> a lot to think about. swimming is not just fun. >> no, the only one it's good for is the eczema patients. a great place for eczema patients. wonderful to get hydrated, clean from the clorn, and be out in the vitamin d. sun is good for eczema. >> we know that. thank you, dr. jackie. >> you're welcome. >> barbara, over to you. >> thank you. coming up on news4, the flip-flop dangers. what doctors say the problems are that are sending many people to the e.r. and months before the ♪ ♪ rockin' around the christmas tree at the christmas party hop ♪ >> oh, boy. can santa help us beat the heat? i don't think so. but, hey, radio station washington fm is playing christmas music on its website all week as part of christmas in july. >> i guess it's kind of a nice idea. the station hopes people will cool off by listening to their favorite holiday hits. >> you know, i always have them on my dial and i'm always thinking, oh, boy, october is early. but july? they do it every year. >> maybe if you start thinking, you know, snow, let it snow. >> it will just seem cooler. well, we've got wild weather shaping up out there, veronica. how are these storms looking now? >> still pretty intense, guys. there's a lot of lightning out there. in fact, some prolific lightning coming through parts of the area. let's talk about the temperatures, too. because we're cooling off, not like christmas, not like december, but 79 the temperature after a high temperature today of officially 91. the heat index at 8 2 degrees. folks, those numbers really down from where they were earlier. the humidity at 83%. you can see the numbers throughout and look to the west, 81 in cumberland, 82 degrees in petersburg, west virginia, where that heat index is currently mid 80s to upper 80s. it's been a while since we have seen the numbers this low. but, again, it's storms that we're talking about, anne arundel, prince george's county until 4:45, you're under a severe thunderstorm warning. because you can see right there, the intense lightning that's coming through. and there a chance for some high winds. up around 40 to 50 miles per hour. these cells headed to the south and east, toward deal in the next 17 to 28 minutes. i've been concerned about this cell to the south around brandy wine headed toward farmers fork in the next 39 minutes. bethlehem fork in the next 55 minutes. that one has shown some indication of some very strong winds, too. and we've got some flash flood warnings out there, too, for king george, stafford, charles, howard, anne arundel, prince george's county, baltimore, all until 6:15 and 6:30. so remember, it only takes about 2 feet of water to carry your car away. but the big cooldown, that's the story. some cooler and drier air behind this weather front. it will be moving through the area during the overnight period. so we've got a chance, even as this line passes, to get some more strong storms, i think, until just past midnight. but that nice, refreshing air will be coming in tomorrow. expect some sunshine, low humidity will still be up around 90 to 93 degrees or so tomorrow. but this is going to hang on for yet another day through wednesday. so two days of some really nice, summer weather coming our way tuesday and wednesday before it all starts climbing again. that high heat and humidity for friday, and especially saturday. so thunderstorms likely, flooding possible. we've already got some flash flooding out there now. flash flood warnings posted. 85 to 78 degrees here for the evening. for tomorrow morning, we're talking about mostly clear, cooler, 65 to 72. and then for tomo
