especially friday and saturday, you're going to love the weather. we'll just have to get there first. let's show you what's happening outside. we had another 90-degree day today. we're in t that's the 47th time we've done. looking back the last five, six years, numbers are all over the place. the record number of days, 90 or above in 2010. our average is 36 so well above that and we're going to add to that number. we may just get back to the 2015 levels. right now temps, they're ranging from the mid 80s in westminster, very comfortable. 90 in easton and leesburg. 90 in fredericksburg. 89 in reedville as well. upper 80s for winchester. pretty shot on our michael & son weather camera. dew point, 65. that's a key number because the last couple numbers have been in the 70s. that's come down a bit. still a little humid but not bad. making it feel like 91. big time thunderstorms going on tonight across minnesota. storms in ohio. more heavy rains down in hopefully this will not cause any additional flooding but they need to destroy out. look at the moisture streaming in. some of this is coming across the tropical wave we've been watching. by us though, high pressure. over us, upper levels of the atmosphere. that's a direction that does not help clouds form. we need lift to get cloudiness. just not much of that around. tomorrow still with a little bit of an easterly push. that will keep temperatures from getting really hot. i still think we'll pop 90 degrees once again on sunday. it will be a dry afternoon for most of us. if you're watching on the far western mountains maybe you see a shower there. rain chances are fairly low. monday, a little feature coming in from the north. even those rain chances don't look terribly high. gaston, a little area western bermuda. the one we've been talking about for about a week now, still a mess. no organization to it. if it looks likes. just south of key west in to the gulf of mexico. conditions could be more conducive for development so we'll have to watch that monday, tuesday morning timeframe. beyond that we get quite a spread from southwest louisiana as we head in to wednesday and thursday. our forecast for tonight, not bad at all. probably need the acs. but most of us in the 60s. downtown, 73. 74. slight southeasterly wind. also by the bay. probably stay above 70. water temperatures in the bay in some cases are over 80 degrees. 60s, 70s in to the mid 80s by lunchtime tomorrow. another sunny and hot afternoon. kind of like today. not too humid. 87 to 92. as we head toward monday, a late thunderstorm possible. 92. tuesday, 90. wednesday should be the last of the 90-degree potential days because by thursday some relief. 85. friday looks delightful. town. we'll be in the 70s for highs on friday. hello, september. promising. >> if we can just continue that throughout the entire month. everyone is talking about it. san francisco 49ers quarterback colin kaepernick's decision not to stand for the national anthem last night before the football games to protest what he deems are wrongdoings against african americans and minorities in the united states. and it's now drawing a lot of attention especially on social media this evening. here's a sample of what some people are saying. may said, quote, stand for what you believe. kimberley says, very disrespectful. sad, especially when he has young people looking up to him. and matt says there are vastly better, more mature and more effective ways to make his statement. i agree with his feelings, just not how he conducted himself. respect the country and those who sacrificed or you won't be able to effect change. >> a lot of talking about that one for sure. we're starting with right now. saturday matinee in that heat that you were temratures, that't all that was hot at nats paycrke home plate umpires this afternoon. coming up in sports, we'll fios is not cable. we're wired differently, which means we can fix things differently. thanks for calling fios. this is ryan. you can't tell me this cord isn't in. i know it's in. it's in, but it's not working. i'm sending you a link to the my fios app that going to let me see what you're seeing. really? yes, mr. mcenroe... see that cord? just plug it into the connector on the right. so you can clearly see what's in and what's out? oh absolutely. i like that. tech support that lets your technician see the problem over your smartphone. only from fios. there's the view. you've gotta stop and look around a little. come, shed life's layers in asheville. let the child inside you out to play. remember who you are. life is for the taking, not for taking it easy. asheville. discovery inside and out. nationals fans enjoyed a matinee at nats park this afternoon hosting the rockies. second of a three-game set. aj cole was on the mound for washington. he pitched well enough but it's what happened in extra innings that defines this game. score tied at 4, bottom of the 10th for sometimes hot head bryce harper. he had a chance to be the hero but when the home plate ump called him out on strikes, he went ballistic. look. lost his ht,elme said a few choice words. things unraveled from there. in the top of the 11th, the bullpen gave up home runs. here's dusty baker bryce's blowup. >> wasn't frustration i don't think with mike winning. it was frustration over a period of time. and everybody blows up from time to time. just glad we had the extra player that i could put in there. these things happen. >> many in the stands might have been praying for a win. some of them catholic. they got some help this afternoon from the archdiocese. cardinal donald threw out the first pitch. a percentage of some ticket sales will go to catholic charities. the archbishop wasn't able to will a win, but he enjoyed himself. >> it's a great joy to be here and to be apart of this wonderful day in which we're recognizing what the team means to this city and community but also what faith-based activities and faith-based communies contribute to the good of this community. for me it was just a delight and a joy. up i-95 the yankees were hosting the orioles this afternoon and showing little to no mercy. the yankees had plenty of home runs, this one from gary sanchez. history making. it's his 11th in just 23 games. no player has had 11 homers that quickly. the bronx bombers beat baltimore 13-5. game number 3 in the books for washington. third games are always looked at as that all important dress rehearsal for the season. if you had to grade this one though, it might not get high marks. the game saw dropped balls by star receivers, off target passes by quarterback kirk cousins all while the bills rested five starters on defense. all eyes were on the $20 million franchise man after starting throw-9, 17 yards, and an interception, cousins finished up 12-23, 188 yards, and three touchdowns. everybody knows they have work to do. >> it's going to be four-quarter game for the 16 play this season. we're going to have slow moments or slow quarters at times. the key is going to find a way to circle the wagon so we put together a good performance. certainly in the time we had tonight, the body of work was pretty productive but there were moments where it wasn't as good as it needs to be and we know this. >> the look of the nfc east has changed dramatically. quarterback tony romo took a big hit thursday night. results of an mri show he has broken bones in his back. sources tell espn romo could miss six to ten weeks. a quarterback on the nearly hew end of injury is joe flacco. flacco tore his acl and mcl last november. he did not play in either of the first two preseason games because his knee was not 100%. he'll get in the game with a protective brace on h knee tonight. it's been a long eight months journey back to the field. probably easier for him than the average joe. >> not the worst thing in the world. there's a lot of people out there that don't play football and have to get acls redone so to be honest with you, it's probably harder on them to get back to who they once were because they've got to go out there and work and do rehab. my work was rehab. high school football has begun and one of the dominant teams in town is off to a good start. ranked in the top 10 nationally in several polls. stats demolished oscar smith of chesapeake, virginia last night. 42-7. that was the final. good for them. >> i just love to see football back. >> i know. that means it's fall. i don't want summer to be over yet. >> good news. so there's still 90s, right? >> some of us can't wait for ski season to begin either. we've got a little bit of everything out here. soor tomorrow, monday, and tuesday. storm chances stay low. i know it's been dry and we need rain. even with a front coming wednesday, what will be great are the temperatures and humidity levels especially as we head toward the end of the week. friday, 82. that's reagan national. that means some of the suburbs not getting otof the 70s potentially on friday. can't wait for that. >> truly fall. you can always get updates any time on our wusa 9 app. we'll see you back here tonight after preseason football. design, produce, and distribute captioning sponsored by cbs
