today, heat advisory in effect until 9:00. covers everybody east of the blue ridge. if you're wondering why areas down toward the northern neck or lower part of the delmarva, different weather service covers that. wakefield didn't feel this was worthy of to a heat advisory. heat index, 100 to 10 5. i think really 100 to 110 will be a more accurate range. part of the problem today, there are no clouds. blazing outside. baking under the sunshine of the extreme heat and humidity. latest temperatures have come in. we're at 96. the average high is 82, 83. we're at 96 now, i think we're headed to triple digits today. the record is 102. it is 97 in frederick. 95 in manassas. but, the humidity, the other factor here causing the problems for the heat advisory. dew points are way up so the apparent temperature is already triple digits here in washington. fredericksburg, 107. feeling like 100 down at the pax river naval air station. you want some relief, head to the mountains. oakland

3:00. still in the mid if not upper 90s by 6:00. this evening, any time after 6:00 here in the metro, we may see a thunderstorm which would cool us down and bring us much- needed rainfall. as far as
