 Good morning, I'm John Aaron. I'm Michelle Bash. Teddy Gelman is our producer. The top story we're following, there is no relief from the oven that's baking our region. The National Weather Service has upgraded its heat advisories to an excessive heat warning for part of the area beginning at noon today. This is for the immediate D.C. area. The rest of the region is under an excessive heat advisory. The National Weather Service meteorologist Eric Taylor says this long stretch of sweltering heat is coming as the region is also dealing with serious drought conditions.
