we have to deal with this first full week of july moving into, you know, the rest of this workweek. we are going to look at some heat and also going to look at some rain chance. i mean, it's a typical july kind of forecast here. and so we are going to be dodging a few showers out there tonight it really looks like. you know they are going to be here and there mainly during the overnight, but to the west, happening right now, just a few out there and some more showers and storms tomorrow afternoon, as erika was saying. the showers for the morning commute and showers and thunderstorms for the evening commute. as i would say, we are definitely heating up this week. in fact, temperatures are going to go up into the mid to upper 90s. not there right now. 83 in d.c. 81, manassas. 81, leesburg, 79 martinsburg, it's warm, it's muggy out there temperatures going to drop, not too far, too fast, but going to fall into the 70s as we get into really the overnight. and then we will warm back into the mid-80s tomorrow. but you can see a few showers out there right now, really not affecting the d.c. area may have a few sprinkles here and there, mainly, they are to the west, as a piece of energy is kind of floating over the tennessee valley. that's eventually going to rise to the north and west over western p.a. as we go through to and even through tomorrow. so that's what we are looking at. that's really why i think mainly tonight, those showers and thunderstorms are going to be west until the overnight. then it's all going to start to spread east. so, that's what you can expect. i'm not expecting any severe weather during the overnight. you can have a few thundershowers out there that might wake you up, nothing like we might have last week, still could have a few, especially areas, rain showers south of richmond, some heavy rain showers down there the thing is they are not moving. headed out to nats park, game at 8:00, against the giants you want to go ahead and maybe bring that rain gear. i really don't think you're going to need it but better to be prepared, obviously. clouds feeling it and showers possible as you get into the later inning. time it on out for, start at 7:00 pop-up sprinkles some spots again, south of richmond, we are seeing heavier showers, but as we go through the overnight, it starts to fill in, especially the blue ridge. we get into monday morning. again, i don't think it's all going to be a wet commute out there. but we are going to have a few spotty showers out there, we will continue into your monday afternoon. some of these showers tomorrow afternoon through tomorrow evening could be strong to severe and definitely heavy downpours, a lot of moisture thought that we are working with, but then we get into tuesday, keeping a slight chance of a shower on tuesday, most of us are going to remain dry, get sunshine back it is going to be humid and hot we get into tuesday. highs tomorrow into the 80s, a warm day out there, muggy as well with showers and thunderstorms as we get into the afternoon. so, just be aware of that we get into the afternoon again. some strong to severe and definitely on the humid side. scattered showers and storms i would say anywhere from 1:00 to 8:00, a good chance tomorrow a slight chance on tuesday and then afternoon chances as we get to wednesday, thursday friday. unfortunately, even into the weekend.

match and the cup from the americans. they won on penalty kicks. now the u.s., they did beat japan the following year in the olympics but that world cup loss still stings. these players and coaches though, they realize that tonight has nothing to do with the past. >> i wasn't around in 2011 as part of the staff but i mean i've said this a lot, i don't have a rear view mirror in my life. i always look forward and so it's not about what's happened before for me it's the opportunity to have this amazing group of women that potentially win a world championship. >> we have prepared our whole life
