Hi, everyone. First tonight at 10, a fall warm spell with temperatures in the 80s today across the D.C. region. And it's only going to get hotter from here. How hot? Well, Mike Thomas has an idea. He's here with the first check of the forecast. Yeah, we can be ready. Record territory tomorrow, if you can believe it. We're talking about temps that could get in a few neighborhoods at or above 90 degrees. D.C. could make a run for it, but we favor kind of more upper 80s here in town. But yeah, even upper 80s would be a record high here in D.C. The standing records 87 and that's what we're forecasting for tomorrow afternoon we hit 82 today that's 11 degrees above this seasonal average was a cool start we won't have that tomorrow morning in fact we'll be quite the mild start uh to your day to your Wednesday across the DC area we take a live look outside this evening nothing really happening in terms of sky conditions in fact mostly clear across the area 71 degrees at Reagan National right now Dulles sitting at 70 BWI, Thurgood Marshall sitting at 71. Some of these areas were in the lower 60s by this time last night. So it gives you an idea of humidity. If you step outside, it's not the summertime levels, but you certainly notice it. And that's going to keep temperatures from falling back quite as quickly here during the overnight hours. There's your satellite radar. I'm not tracking much on it again.

After the work was completed, the pool started to peel, leading to allegations, unfounded allegations, of vandalism. I have no comparison. I don't know how it looked before, so. But when it fills up, maybe it'll look better. I hope it looks better than it did the last time. You think it's time money well spent? No. No, I don't. They should have not touched it to begin with, is how I feel. But it's beautiful. Federal prosecutors later conceded it was that botched installation and not vandalism that led to the prolonged closure.

The Vatican revealed that surgeons removed the lower lobe of the Pope's right lung today and confirmed he has adenocarcinoma. New tests to confirm the diagnosis had been suspected from earlier testing. Oncologists say even though the nodule is cancerous, they're optimistic about his prognosis since it was removed early. When we see a small nodule in the lungs and it ends up being a cancer, it often can be a blessing in disguise to remove that cancer before it has a chance to grow or to spread. More biopsy results are expected to come in tomorrow. The Pope will remain in the hospital for the time being.
