and his partner, beefer perry, a couple of 20 something guys who know the value of a hot day. >> i love hot days and on hot days i love to make money out here. every day it's hot. i'm going to make money. >> on a good day we do more than $200. >> i pay my rent all summer off water. >> these cars flying through the red lights. >> i take my time before i step out of this curb. >> that's dangerous, but you just got to be careful. >> reporter: and the heat doesn't bother them as long as the dollar bills keep coming. >> appreciate that, boss. >> one of them right here. >> reporter: then over in the shade beepers surprised me by showing the scars from a bullet wound to the face he took in january. >> i knew i was going to survive. >> reporter: a miraculous brush with death he blames on street life and running wild. >> ice cold. >> reporter: hot weather and water he said is an opportunity to break in a new direction. >> reporter: that was scott broom reporting. we have a little heat thermometer gun out here. check this out on this railing here. 115 degrees. is that right? yes. it is steamy hot and mom is trying to get out with her kids. now let us know what you're doing to beat the heat at www.wusa9.com. we also have more extended pool hours and cooling centers. now i want to toss it back to you guys in the studio. fortunately for me even though it's so hot we don't really sweat out here. we ladies glisten. what do you guys think about that? back to you. >> i think you look great at there. we're going to shift gears to something more serious. the jury is now deciding jerry sandusky's fate. deliberations began after lawyers wrapped up their closing arguments in the child sex abuse trial of former penn state assistant football coach. manuel gallegos has the latest from the courthouse in bellefont, pennsylvania. >> reporter: the prosecution summed up its case against jerry sandusky telling jurors the former penn state assistant coach is a "serial predatory pedophile." the lead prosecutor reminded jurors about the graphic testimony of the eight men who claim sandusky sexually assaulted them as boys. he defended the accusers' years of silence saying they did not immediately come forward because they tried to bury what happened to him and the summation ended with him telling the jury sandusky can't give back their souls that he took. give them justice. find him guilty. sand turnedded an and glanced at the -- sandusky turned around and glanced at the prosecutor as he stood behind hip. some of the accusers were in the courtroom -- him. some of the accusers were in the courtroom and so was his wife. the defense attorney hammered away at credibility of mike mcqueary, the only eyewitness to testify he saw sandusky abusing a boy in a campus show. amendola told the jury mcqueary assumed he saw someone and reminded them that no one ever called police. amendola portrayed sandusky as the victim of overzealous investigators, greedy accusers and a legal system that convicted him before his arrest. jurors must now sort through 48 criminal counts. if convicted, the 68-year-old could spend the rest of his life in prison. manuel gallegos, cbs news, bellefont, pennsylvania. >> the jurors are being sequestered at a local hotel so they won't have any televisions or phones or means of communication with the outside world. they are only allowed to deliberate the case when they're together at the courthouse. a new videotape is out showing george zimmerman reenacting the night that he shot and killed trayvon martin. zimmerman's defense team are the ones who post that video out. the neighborhood watch volunteer brought police to the scene in sanford, florida, one day after the shooting. zimmerman insists it was the unarmed 17-year-old who attacked him. >> he said you're going to die tonight mother [ bleep ] and he reached for it, but he reached like i felt his arm going down to my side and i grabbed it and i just grabbed my firearm and i shot him one time. >> now zimmerman pleaded not guilty to second degree murder charges. the sanford police chief who handled the investigation has been fired. word late today the culpeper police officer accused of shoot and killing a woman has also been fired. daniel harmon-wright is charged with murder in the death poof trisha cook. a brief memo from the department -- death of patricia cook. a brief memo from the department said he is let go due to the investigation into cook's death. the medical university on the campus of george mason university is facing the stomach flu that's sickened at least 40 visiting students. our peggy fox is on campus with more on the outbreak. not the flu and not that kind of flu, peggy. >> reporter: yeah. well, lesli, they went to a nats game last night and came down with a home run seriously. 80 students from around the country came here for a week long conference. 40 of them got sick. at first it looked like food poisoning, but this afternoon the health department figured out that wasn't it. it was something else just as troublesome. >> when we were leaving, someone just fainted. it came on really quick. people just started puking from there on. >> reporter: it was a miserable bus ride leaving nats park last night as several of the few dozen students on board began getting sick. the driver headed to george washington hospital where six of the students admitted. >> her senses were nauseating and headache and stomach cramping. >> reporter: once back on campus more became sick overnight and this morning. fairfax emergency crews took 15 more students to the hospital. >> it was like a dehydration. so you're kind of dizzy and like you have to run to the bathroom and do your stuff. >> and this morning he started getting sick and so he's on an iv. >> reporter: the students, high school and college all, remember in town from all over the kun -- were in town from all over the country attending the week long congressional awards foundation. throughout the morning parents picked up their children to take them home. >> it must have been scary as parent or guardian or family member, right? >> well, it still kind of is. the word we got was suspected foodpoisonning, there's not been a confirmation of that. >> reporter: the mystery was solved this afternoon. fairfax county epidemiologist peter troell said it wasn't food poisoning, but a gastrointestinal virus spread from person to person. >> this is a disease that is spread by fecal oral transmission which is exactly what it sounds like. >> reporter: george mason says it's giving those dorms a thorough scrubbing. how they determined that it wasn't food poisoning was because the kids who got sick ate different things and also kids got sick at different times. now the piedmont dorm is getting a thorough cleaning with beach. i'm told that is what you need to clean this up and also remember to wash your hands thoroughly. i'm peggy fox reporting live at george mason. back to you, lesli. >> you make sure you do the same thing, too. you've been covering that story. the interim president of the university of virginia sat down with members of the faculty senate's executive committee today and after that closed door meeting carl zenthandel hopes to meet with more school campus groups to help the youth move forward. the university is still reeling after the ouster of former university president teresa sullivan and we just learned the university board will meet tuesday to consider reinstating her. we'll have more on this at 6:00. the commerce secretary, john bryson, resigned today. he suffered a seizure after a series of traffic collisions less than two weeks ago. now at first police thought there were hit and run charges involved. bryson is 68. he was found unconscious in his car in los angeles on june 9th after the second crash. bryson took medical leave on june 11th. in a moment you will see models of people who were found dead in our area. they're separate cases. each person was found in a different location in northern virginia and as surae chinn reports, visitors hope you'll recognize one of these people and help police solve a coal case. a cold case. >> reporter: the faces represent three people with no names, cause of death or any leads, but the models also represent breathing new life into cases that have come cold. the first is modeled after a black man in his mid-30s found in 2003 under the roosevelt bridge. he may have been homeless. he had a distinguishing bite because he had a rotten tooth. the second is an asian man in his late 30s to early 40s found at ford's landing way in alexandria last february and the third case is an older white man found in a wooded area in 2006 near fairfax county parkway and eastbound 66. >> everybody out there knows somebody and so we're hopeful that somebody will recognize this person. >> reporter: these are just three of 220 unidentified remains in the commonwealth with no cause of death, but roughly 1/3 end up in homicide. that's about 70 potential killers walking free. >> at least the police have a place to start with their investigation. >> reporter: the likeness of a dead and a new website that has a database of the missing and unidentified have helped solve some cases in virginia. the commonwealth's chief medical examiner says these new tools have become the voice for the dead. she is hoping they will lead to a break in these cases in northern virginia. >> it's kind of a little joke that most people have skeletons in their closet and they're trying to keep them hidden. me, i want to bring all my skeletons out and show them to everyone and see if we can't get them back to their loved ones. >> reporter: surae chinn, 9 news now. >> if you happen to recognize one of those models as a loved one, the first step is contact your local police department. they'll have a dna collection kit. inside there is something to take a swab of your dna and on www.wusa9.com we've got a link to a database with 15,000 missing and unidentified people they hope to match with those who may have loved them. do you love, do you own or have a loved one who owns a 1993 or 2004 jeep grand cherokee? coming up at 5:30 the government safety investigation into these vehicles. >> then a little later on respect your elders, that's a lesson for new york mid schoolers and they obviously never -- middle schoolers and they obviously never learned it. >> reporter: i'm anita brikman live in bethesda. we're trying to beat the heat and the ice cream truck just pulled up, but later in the show why you might not be able to find your favorite treats when the ice cream truck hits your neighborhood. 9news continues after the break. scientists think they've made a pretty amazing discovery on the moon, water. well, it's frozen water. researchers at nasa, m.i.t. and brown university studied the area with lasers testing the natural reflect reflectivity and they believe the bottom of the crater is covered with about 100-gallons of ice. >> how you doing out there, a.b.? >> reporter: i've gone from glowing to wilting, but past that i'm okay. we're here with the ice cream truck, but listen, a lot of kids wait to hear this sound when it hits their neighborhood, but we've got some news about that. the ice cream man will be missing things this year when he makes the round. good humor's parent company is having a bit of a meltdown. unilever says higher than anticipated sales this spring and the imminent shutdown of a factory in hagerstown are leaving it struggling to supply ice cream trucks with some of the most popular treats. specifically the toasted almond candy center crunch and chocolate eclair ice cream bars. the company hopes to have everything back to normal by the middle of the summer. joining me live is phillip michael. how long have you ran one of these ice cream trucks? >> nine years. >> reporter: is this the kind of weather you like? >> yes. everybody comes out. everybody is happy. it's a culture. >> reporter: everyone waits for the ice cream truck in the summer. we're looking at some of your choices. what's the most popular with the kids. show me. >> i will say the cookie sandwich right here. spongebob for little kid. >> reporter: spongebob, cookie sandwich and lime shots and chocolate eclair. some of those we've had missing. now i need one that has no calories. what do you think? >> cream cicle is not too bad. >> reporter: i'm going to stick with that, phillip. thank you so much. i'll enjoy that in a minute, but we're also talking about another issue that's very important, some four-legged friends got a chance to beat the heat hawaiian style today. they were treated to a pool party at a rockville doggie day care, decorations, grass shirts, plenty of sprinklers and a kiddie pool for the pooches. in a moment i'll be tossing it back to you, but i think my ice cream is ready. phillip guaranteed no calorie fizz consume this. back to you. >> if you don't -- calories if i consume this. back to you. >> if you don't get a bomb top, you have not been to good tumor. >> we have our feet in the pool, too, anita. we have a kiddie pool. our pool is kind of little compared to yours. >> it's refreshing. >> it is. >> i think we tied the record high today. >> did we? >> what's the record? >> 98. >> we tied it? >> that's not official yet. >> what is that thing you've got there, top? >> it's a drink, but there's nothing in it right now. >> there's no beverage in there. >> we won't say there's anything or not in there. let's take another live look outside. >> this is keeping the sun off. >> exactly. >> exactly. it's our live weather cam brought to you by michael and son, looking at temperatures still in the mid-90s. the good news is winds are calm and the dew point is in the 60s which is better than yesterday. might remember the dew points were actually in the low 70s, which is uncomfortable. so a little improvement. humidity 37%, that's really not that bad. okay. record high, here's what we have so far. we tied the mark at national, 98 also in baltimore. so it's 2 shy of the record high of 100 dulles 1 shy again, 97, record high 98, both dulles' high and national's high set back in 1988. again nothing official. we'll give you the official numbers in 20 or 30 minutes. 95 now, 91 gaithersburg, 95 manassas, that skewed 99 in frederick. fredericksburg 95 and also in andrews. so essentially mid-90s across the board pretty much. factor in humidity and temps don't go crazy. they go up to 100 at andrews, hold at 97 at national, feels like 98 in manassas, pops up to 103 in leesburg and feels like 99 in fredericksburg. so again we were short a little bit of the heat advisory criteria. severe weather alert day friday, isolated thunderstorm possible tonight, not as hot on friday and then heavy or severe storms possible friday afternoon. good news, weekend looks nice. in the wake of the front it will be less humid. here's our futurecast, tomorrow morning a few clouds, some more cloud cover tomorrow. by lunchtime a few showers popping primarily west of town out toward i-81 and then we get into the afternoon hours, big storms pushing through about 24 hours from now. so we could have a wet commute home and some of those storms could be heavy and some could be severe. right now heaviest storms are headed towards baltimore, but kind of hard to pick out where they'll be exactly. we'll declare tomorrow a severe weather alert day. nats are in town again, what great game yesterday by strasburg, temperatures upper 80s to mid-90s but not that humid, nice breeze. check them out. tonight partly cloudy, muggy, isolated thunderstorm possible primarily west of town out toward i-81. look at temps. these are lows, 70 to 80 downtown and winds westerly at 10. now tomorrow morning partly sunny, very warm, a late thunderstorm possible, even in the morning. the commute will be dry, but by lunchtime we could have a couple storms, 70s and 80s and by afternoon here's the a man event, partly sunny, not as -- the main event, partly sunny, not as hot, thunderstorms possible, some heavy, some severe and temperatures in the low 90s. next three days, severe weather alert day tomorrow, green saturday and sunday and why wouldn't we be? upper 80s saturday and sunday. passing shower sunday. don't change your tee times. next seven days. monday we are looking at temperatures back in the mid- 80s and a stronger cold front, showers and thunderstorms possible. of course, next week is at&t week. tuesday and wednesday bargain temperature-wise, back in the upper 70s tuesday, near 80 wednesday, a couple sprinkles possible, not a big deal, though, and then as we get into next thursday a few clouds for round 1, temperatures in the low 80s for highs on thursday. of course, we do have tickets to give away. >> we do? >> we only have until saturday to log in. it's a sweepstake, not going to ask any tricky questions, www.wusa9.com or go to our facebook page and we'll announce the winners next monday. >> this is a first here. >> you can do any day. >> you know how i like to say it's as hot as a black man's bun ion? today the black man's bunions are fairly cool. the supreme court today issued a key ruling regarding explicit content on television. the justices threw out fines against broadcasters who violated the government's indecency policy. that policy regulates curse words and nudity on television. in issuing the ruling the justices said the government impose unfair punishment for isolated profanity and sexual content during primetime hours. a new louisiana law involving facebook is billed as the first of its kind in the country. the law requires sex offenders to list their criminal status on their facebook or any other social networking page. sites like facebook and myspace have been removing sex offenders from their web pages for years, but the legislator behind the new law says this will cover any possible lapses by those sites. video of a 68-year-old bus monitor being bullied a students in upstate new york has gone viral. kids are just mean. you can see that's karen kline there trying to ignore these students as they shout profanities and taunt her. kline says she didn't realize how bad the verbal abuse was until she actually watched it again online. the comments ranged from her weight to somebody in her family committing suicide. >> i tried to ignore them. that's why i didn't hear some of the stuff because i'm just kind of trying to shut them out. >> we all know middle schoolers are a mean bunch sometimes. empathetic supporters rallied behind kline and raised more than $120,000 for her to take a vacation and although police say pressing criminal charges against students is an opposite, kline says she will not press charges -- option, kline says she will not press charges and leave the punishment to the school board. still ahead time to tee it up, how the simple lessons of golf means a lot more than just learning the sport for some d.c. elementary students. >> a year long 9news investigation into the safety of thousands of late model jeep grand cherokees on our roads right now. in tonight's consumer alert death by fire, auto safety experts say that is what happened to dozens of people who died in fiery crashes involving late models of the jeep grand cherokee. now the government has expanded its investigation into these vehicles and other jeep models. 9 wants you to know why some are calling this a life and death safety issue. for more than a year our lesli foster has been investigating the claims made. >> reporter: the questions surround the safety of the 1993 to 2004 jeep grand cherokees. this is one of the suvs in question. if you look in this cargo area, you will see all the documents senior producer stephanie wilson and i have poured through, but consumer groups for center for auto safety believes the placement of the gas tanks can lead to fires and death, but chrysler maintains its vehicles are safe. >> she was pretty young when she left the house at age 18 and jumped on a plane and went on the other side of the ocean. >> reporter: stacy meyer returned home from england a year older and her family was happy to finally have her back. on a warm july day in 2007 she read some spans from her bible, then set out to -- passages from her bible, then set out to go exercise and take a friend to breakfast. >> this is the friend she was going to pick up. she walked out the door, drove up the hill and about an hour later had the accident. >> reporter: a driver having a seizure lost control on a wisconsin state highway and slammed into the back of stacy's 2001 jeep grand cherokee. >> they ended up smashing into the guardrail on this side '. >> reporter: according to police accident reports and witness statements, the jeep burst into flames. >> we're a family of five. now we're a family of four. >> the people that are lucky survive. there's absolute tragedies. >> reporter: clarence ditlow heads up the safety centre for auto safety -- the center for auto safety. his office headed up the investigation in crashes from 1993 to 2004 jeep grand cherokees. the center used the government's fatal analysis research system also known as fars to make their case. using the fares data the center for auto safety now counts at least 51 accidents where 72 people died in rear, side and rollover crashes and fire was the chief cause of their death. >> you'll have a huge ball of fire and people can't get out of the vehicles before they burn. >> reporter: the center's petition was granted two years ago but only focused on rear end crashes. just two days ago an engineering analysis was ordered of the vehicles. in this office of defects investigation resume it's reported that 48 people died in fiery rear end crashes, but officials pointed out not all the people who died were in a jeep grand cherokee. some were in the vehicle that struck the suv. it is one of the key factors that convinced the officials to upgrade the safety investigation. chrysler's response to the expanded probe is that the jeep grand cherokee is no riskier than its closest competitors. what would you tell people that have this vehicle? >> i would tell them if at all possible get another vehicle. >> reporter: chrysler says 1.8 million of these vehicles are still out on the roads. ditlow wants all of them recalled. auto experts say the problem is where the plastic fuel tank is positioned, behind the rear axle. you can see it right here in this jeep grand cherokee. in the 1993 to '98 models the fuel tank looks like a spare tire well, but this plastic tank filled with gallons of fuel literally hangs down exposed with no protection. a brush guard covers the gas tank in the 1999 to 2004 models. it is supposed to protect the plastic tank in low speeds from brush and other obstructions, but experts say it's not enough. the placement of the tank is simply too risky. >> it's in the crush zone of any vehicle striking it from behind. the vehicle it strikes will push on that gas tang and any number of very bad things can happen -- tank and any number of very bad things can hasn't. >> reporter: in an effort to move the investigation forward the center for auto safety asked the federal highway administration to conduct rear impact tests on a '95 jeep grand cherokee using a nonflammable liquid to demonstrate what can happen when the tank ruptures. >> you'll begin to see the gasoline right there coming out of the fuel tank and it's vaporizing and producing a mist and it's a perfect source for combustion. you can see there's not much damage to the grand cherokee itself, but there's the gasoline. you're surviving the trauma of the crash, but you get burned to death '. >> reporter: chrysler says the crash tests were conducted 20 miles per hour faster than the fuel standard required at the time the vehicle was manufactured. that was 30 miles an hour. fhwa also tested one of the grand cherokee's peer vehicles, thed for explorer. the tests on this 1995 model were tested on higher speeds at 70 to 75 miles per hour and the gas tank did not rupture. we should point out the gas tank in the explorer is placed in front of the rear axle. >> we took a mission trip as a family when she was a junior in high school down to mexico and worked in an orphanage. she just loved it. >> the impact occurred and stacy's car rolled multiple times. >> reporter: you can still see the gas line where fuel poured out of stacy's car here at the scene, but what gives the meyers some measure of comfort is knowing that stacy likely was unaware of what would happen after she was hit. the officials would not talk on camera due to the ongoing investigation and has not given a timetable for reaching a decision, but in their odi resume they say rear impact related tank failure and vehicle fires are more prevalent in the jeep grand cherokee than in non-jeep peer vehicles and just last week the 1990 flee to 2001 jeep cherokee and the 2002 to 2007 jeep liberty vehicles were added to the investigation. those vehicles also had the gas tank behind the rear axle. the agency analysis of its f.a.r.s. data for the peer vehicles and pier jeep models shows a higher incident of rear impact fatal fire crashes for the jeep products. chrysler disagrees. in a statement the company tells 9 news now the 1993 to 2004 jeep grand cherokees are neither defective nor do their fuel systems pose an unreasonable risk to motor safety in rear impact collisions and they say rear impacts resulting in fire are extremely rare. rear impacts resulting in a fire occur no more often in 1993 to 2004 jeep grand cherokee vehicles than in peer vehicles and the 1993 to 2004 jeep grand cherokee vehicles are at no greater risk of exposure to fire in rear end collisions than peer vehicles. as for the expanded investigation the company said we expect a similar analysis of subject vehicles recently added to this investigation which is generally conducted at the engineering analysis stage would support a similar conclusion. >> i just wonder if any of their children has been lost in a car where there was a poor design, you know, how they'd feel about just nothing being done. >> reporter: can you believe that stacy would be alive today potentially had she not been in that vehicle? >> i think, so yes, yeah. >> reporter: now in 2005 chrysler moved the gas tank in the jeep grand cherokee ahead of the axle. the company says they did that to make more room for cargo space. chrysler is cooperating with the expanded probe and says it's important to note that this is just an investigation right now. it is not a recall. >> so since chrysler moved that gas tank have there been any more fatalities? >> well, according to the center for auto safety, no, not at all. they tell us not one person has died of fiery death as the result of a fuel tank in the 2005 models going forward. >> so a lot of those vehicles in question are still on the roads, right? they're more than 10 years old, but they're out there. how, do we know? >> they are out there. just in our area there are at least 23,000 of the '93 to 2004 jeep grand cherokees still registered for use in d.c. and maryland combined. virginia doesn't keep records on a particular make and model and if you go to the consumer section of our website, www.wusa9.com, you'll be able to read comments from the investigation into the 1993 to 2004 jeep grand cherokee. also you'll be able to read chrysler's statement about the expanded probe and coming up tonight at 11:00 you'll hear from a chrysler whistleblower who will talk more about a potential solution and why he says the company knew about problems before those suvs even went into production. >> very much looking forward to that story tonight at 11:00. still ahead we know the price of a college education is heading sky high, fit not there already, but now the -- if it's not already there, but now the price of borrowing the money to pay forked that indication may be going up -- for that education may be going up, too. >> topper is back with the weather details in 10 minutes. if we had a graphic that said shocking news, this would qualify. layer for the adopted son of jerry sandusky says the former penn state football coach abused that young man and he was ready to testify about it at trial. sandusky has six adopted children. 33-year-old matt sandusky issued the statement in the last hour saying he was a victim of his dad's abuse, but he did not go into any detail. jurors are currently deliberating in that sex abuse trial and we will have a lot more on this story coming your way at 6:00. president obama hosted a group of college students at the white house today in an effort to urge congress to prevent interest rates from doubling in 10 days. >> we're 10 days away from nearly 7.5 million students seeing their loan rates double because congress hasn't acted. this should be a no brainer. it should not be difficult. it should have gotten done weeks ago. >> president obama says if the rates double july 1st, it will mean an additional $1,000 a year in interest for the average student. house republicans suggest a payment plan that includes increasing federal workers' pensions over the next three years. i'm anita brikman live at bethesda pool. i have some guests with me including 7-month-old quinn who is ready for the sun. coming up we'll talk about sun safety, pool safety and so much more. the oppressive heat isn't just uncomfortable. it can also be hazardous to our health and we all needed to take precautions even when we're relaxing at a pool like we are here at bethesda pool. i'm joined by dr. david writeman, director of the pediatric emergency center at suburban hospital. we're very laid back at the edge of the baby pool, but what did you see happen a few moments ago? >> we saw a child 2 years old left in the baby pool by herself. mom had gone away just a few minutes and the child was crying very distraught, but it really kind and a half sized to everyone sitting there how just -- kind of emphasized to everyone sitting there how in a heartbeat something can happen. >> reporter: sometimes drownings happen even when parents and others are around. >> absolutely. there were plenty of parents around and no one was watching this kid until she started crying. >> reporter: let's talk about some other issues with the heat, children in cars never. >> even if you're just dropping off a package in the store, children can get -- you can't leave your child in the car even five minutes. the heat levels can turn into an oven and they can get dehydrated and get very ill very quickly. >> reporter: what about hydration when kids are out playing, how important? >> hydration can't be emphasized enough. when the heat is at this level, children can get -- because their body surface area can get dehydrated very quickly. what we typically recommend to parents is that to get them to drink at least one to two glasses of water before going out to play and keep them drinking throughout the entire time they're outside. >> reporter: we also want to emphasize kids need to be taking some 15 minute breaks as they play, but while they're out actually playing, playground equipment, can you talk to me about that. >> it happens every single year. in meet like this what you see is playground equipment, slides, that kind of thing can really get to be 130 to 150 degrees in the sun. when that happens, a kid just has to instantly get up on that slide, go down and they can get a second or third degree burns. >> reporter: you've seen these burns? >> absolutely. we've seen it. >> reporter: finally what about medications in high heat? >> high heat can actually potentiate the effects of medication. they can make the side effects of medication much worse. it really is important if you're spending any time out in the heat and you're on any kind of medication, speak to your doctor first about what you should look out for and what the effects of either dehydration or the heat can be on your medication. >> reporter: thank you so much for joining us and i think the overriding message to parents, eyes always on the little ones. topper, back to you. >> we have good news. the heat advisory was canceled early. that's some good news. the other good news is the heatwave breaks tomorrow. the bad news, it may break with severe weather. let's start with a live look outside, another live look outside actually. i'm live, too. this is brought to you by our live weather cam brought to you by michael and son. unofficially high was 98. the official numbers aren't in yet. 95 now, dew point mid-60s, winds calm and the pressure, i mean the humidity not bad, 37% reasonable and i think that's why they canceled the heat advisory, just was not near the criteria of 105 to 109. the records, so far 98 downtown. that ties the mark. 100 in baltimore. they've only hit 98, too same record with dulles, but so far they topped out at 97, but again we'll get you the numbers in shortly. right now 93 gaithersburg, 95 manassas, 95 leesburg and 92 up towards martinsburg and 94 in fredericksburg. we factor in the humidity and it feels like 97 downtown. feels like it's 98 in manassas, feels like 103 in leesburg and feels like over 100 in fredericksburg and it bears repeating that's why you don't want to exercise this time of night. severe weather alert day friday, isolated thunderstorm possible tonight, primarily west of town. not as hot tomorrow, but with that break in the heat comes a chance for heavy or severe thunderstorms in the afternoon. the weekend looks nice. i just sent a tweet out. right now the time frame of the storms tomorrow between about noon
