And the final boundary recommendations, that vote is expected to come sometime in the evening.
All right, Mel, thank you. Let's take a live look outside now this morning as we take a look at our weather and traffic on 5's live look out towards Eastport and Annapolis, Maryland. Looking nice and peaceful out there this morning.
Are we going to see a pretty sunrise? I'm looking forward to that because last week it was pretty cloudy and gray.
I know. We had a lot of gray last week. This week, a lot of sunshine, which you're going to want some cloud coverage out there eventually.
Today will get hotter, maybe not quite that humid, but the heat will start to build throughout the daytime.
So temperatures right now, we're currently in the upper 60s, low 70s. It feels very refreshing because we don't have that high humidity around.
But again, it will get hotter throughout today's daytime. Let's take a live look at radar and not a whole lot happening out there.
We'll keep things dry for another day. Rain free, storm free throughout the afternoon as high pressure kind of builds overhead.
So plenty of sunshine. We are going to heat up. Humidity will kind of build back a little bit.
It's not going to be that bad outside, though. Mid 80s by noon, low 90s by 5 p.m.
That heat and humidity starts to really get going tomorrow. So much more on that potential heat wave coming in that seven day forecast in a couple of minutes.
Stephanie? All right. Thank you, Taylor. We do have some construction to tell you about.
I-95 northbound main lanes and Stafford between Virginia 630, that's Courthouse Road, and 610.
Traffic is getting by in the right lane only. Slight delay at this hour.
And then the outer loop morning side there, construction between Allentown Road and Ritchie Marlboro Road.
With traffic getting by there in the right lane only, moving about nine minutes at this hour.
One more for you here this morning. I-395 northbound. Morning commute, that is in green.
That is between the Beltway and 14th Street Bridge. Jacqueline?
Well, Steph, the death toll from a massive fire at a bar in Bangkok, Thailand, has now risen to 30.
The fire broke out just before midnight on Sunday.
More than 70 others were injured, including dozens with critical injuries.
Investigators say most of the victims were found in windowless bathrooms where they likely tried to escape the flames.
City leaders have launched an investigation into the cause of that fire and ordered safety inspections at similar venues.
The U.S. launching more strikes against Iran overnight.
The strikes actually coming up after the Trump administration reinstated a blockade on Iran in the Strait of Hormuz.
Iran responded with attacks of their own.
Meanwhile, the U.S. Central Command says American warships will start enforcing the new blockade this afternoon.
President Trump also looking to charge other ships for safe passage.
This would end decades of American policy supporting free navigation in the seas.

President Trump will be addressing the nation this week regarding claims of the 2020 presidential election and those claims that it was stolen.
Now, according to reports, the president plans to reveal declassified intelligence detailing a foreign nation's plot to interfere in the 2020 presidential election in which he lost.
President Trump expected to be joined by CIA Director John Ratcliffe, FBI Director Kash Patel, as well as Homeland Security Secretary Mark Wayne Mullen.
It all comes as the president continues to pressure Congress to pass his Save America Act, which would require voters to show proof of citizenship and a photo ID to vote.
Thursday's address is set for 9 p.m.
This day is after Lindsey Graham's sudden and unexpected death.
His younger sister, Darlene Graham Nordone, will fill his Senate seat for the remainder of the term.
Graham's sister, picked by South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster, will be sworn into the Senate tomorrow and temporarily hold the seat.
Graham passed late Saturday in D.C. from an aortic tear due to cardiovascular disease.
The 71-year-old served 23 years in the U.S. Senate after succeeding Strom Thurmond.
Graham was in the middle of his fourth term when he died.
A special primary election will be held next month to pick a Republican nominee to replace the late senator on the ballot for November's general election.
Whoever that candidate ends up being will have just two months to campaign before facing off against Democrat Annie Andrews.

Taylor?
You're going to have at least extreme heat start to build in across the area this week with the next potential heat wave.
I'll have much more on how long it's going to stick around coming up after the break.
