for tomorrow morning, we start off with mostly cloudy skies. a few rainshowers. but for the most part. i think tomorrow will be dry. most of this is going to come throug during the -- during the overnight hours. then tomorrow during the day. high pressure builds in. clearing skies. sunshine. nice and warm. it will be less humid. so some good news there. temperatures tomorrow, basically in the -- lower to middle 80s. so still quite comfortable. 86 degrees. the forecasted high tomorrow. monday, 87. esy,da86. wednesday. going to start to warm it up during the middle of the week. iny,fact, we can have the first 90 degree reading by the time we get to thursday. maybe a shower, thunderstorm. for the most part. the woke looks pretty quiet. plenty of sunshine. temperatures mid 80s. >> yeah. >> july, come on. >> overdue. thank you, steve. >> still ahead in sports. a giant surprise in san francisco. hakeem has details next. w

the approach you have to have. managing the worst team in the big leagues. and giving the astros all they could handle. top four. adam dunn at the plate. and singles up the middle. and nick johnson. and isn't very fast. sent home. bad decision. michael borne had a great arm. perfect throw. and johnson is so out at the plate. bottom of the eighth. nats, a-4. and lifts one into foul territory. up the right field line. nick johnson is tracking it. anderson hernandez following. no one has got it. ouch. keeps the inning alive. astros would tie the game. top nine. game tied at 5. niger morgan. and going to test his arm. puj rodriguez.

great scoop, tag. harris out at the plate. bottom nine. game tied at 5. i will pause for dramatic effect. there it is. facing jeff blum, the hero. walk off to right. that's it. nats lose it. and you now have the microphone. >> well, we blew another one. our blpen let us down again. our top two guys. but overall. i feel good. guys played hard. we battled back. and up until then. just -- you know, here and there. they're going to fail again. i think the guys have played hard the whole time. the numbers are there. i mean -- take it away. you know, the way we have pitched and the way we have played defense. and we're fine. i don't think that is a complaint here. not from my side. >> always staying positive. in san francisco, last night, giants' pitcher, jonathan sanchez delivered a treat. the lefty threw the first no hitter of the season.

what's remarkable about sanchez's sweet feet, unlikely before last night. sanchez had been pitching so poorly he was relegated to the bullpen. it was there, where he began working on a recipe for redemption. this is giants pitcher. jonathan sanchez. he had a huge night. top nine. one out. edgar gonzalez. trying to barack up the no-reak. keeps the no hitter intact. sanchez, his family are stoked. they need one more out. sanchez, yeah, gets it. strike out to end it. jonathan sanchez. first giants' no hitter in 33 years. sanchez struck out career high 11 batters. congratulations to him. sanchez and the giants. 8-0, in golf at u.s. women's open. really any one's tournament to win. leads by two strokes. after three rounds. we're in pennsylvania. we startith the shot of the day.

and winning the championship. having a child come back as fast as candace did. so that's where she is at. >> well said, michael cooper, huh. >> 63 days come back. got to give it up for the working moms. >> mystics-sparks tonight. >> thank you so much. that's our news. n"nbc nightly news" is next. we'll see you again at 11:00. good night.
