Listen live to WTOP for traffic updates on the 8s.
In preparation for Tuesday’s NATO Summit in D.C., crews from a contractor installed tall, latticed steel fences on the sidewalk along the Ellipse near the White House.
A small forklift unloaded pallets of the fencing onto the sidewalk on Monday morning while crews dragged and then assembled the fencing.
Most of the security fencing along the sidewalk isn’t blocking access to the sidewalk. It’s running parallel to the sidewalk to prevent someone from climbing over it. So pedestrians still have access to the sidewalk.
Fencing was already in place around the Mellon Auditorium and Washington Convention Center, where the summit will take place from July 9-11.
A number of roadway closures come into effect on Monday near Mellon Auditorium and White House and the Washington Convention Center.

Excelsior Springs, MO (July 7, 2024) — Mackenzie Cole, a dedicated student reporter and daughter of Jason and Courtney Cole, the founders of the Excelsior Citizen, embarked on an exciting journey early Sunday morning to attend the esteemed Washington Journalism and Media Conference at George Mason University.
Selected as a National Youth Correspondent, Mackenzie is representing Excelsior Springs, joining a distinguished group of approximately 250 students from across the United States for an immersive week-long program focusing on journalism and media. The conference, held from July 7 to July 12, offers young aspiring journalists hands-on experiential learning through decision-making simulations and interactions with renowned media professionals.
Expressing her excitement, Mackenzie stated, “This is an amazing opportunity, and I feel really honored to have been chosen to attend this program. I can’t wait to share what we’re doing with the Excelsior Citizen and learn as much as I can.”
Mackenzie was invited to participate based on her academic accomplishments and demonstrated excellence in journalism and media studies. As part of the program, she will participate in practical learning experiences designed to challenge her to solve problems and “explore the creative, practical, and ethical tensions in journalism.” The conference’s comprehensive curriculum is enhanced by sessions with prominent media leaders, including journalists, CEOs of major media outlets, researchers, and successful recent college graduates.

In D.C., Sunday was the 17th day over 90 in three weeks
![In D.C., Sunday was the 17th day over 90 in three weeks](https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-apps/imrs.php?src=https://arc-anglerfish-washpost-prod-washpost.s3.amazonaws.com/public/7BJ6CPVECMI6TJ3H26VYJLXT5E.jpg&w=1440)
Washington is hot in July, often memorably so. For most of the month, the city’s average daily high temperature is 90. But Sunday was seven degrees above the District’s elevated average.
Perhaps all hot days are hot in their own way. Sunday’s heat, though obvious and apparent, seemed a bit more tolerable, a bit less insufferable, because it came unaccompanied by the unpleasant humidity of the two earlier days.
The heat index, a measure of the special torments presented by the combination of heat and humidity, remained in the 90s. Unlike Friday and Saturday, it made no forays above 100 degrees.
Dew points, which also express the extent and effect of humidity, also declined on Sunday, remaining in the low 60s.
In essence, that meant the day was not simultaneously scorching and steamy. The scorch could certainly be felt, but the frequently moist and vaporous sense of objectionable sultriness, that seemed largely absent.
On Friday, the dew point just before 3 p.m. was an oppressive — if not insufferable — 74. By Saturday at the same hour, it had declined to 70 degrees. That was a descent perhaps not universally acknowledged.
But on Sunday, the difference seemed marked, with a dew point of nine degrees less, at 61.
Such small distinctions make one summer’s day different from another. They prevent each day during a hot season from seeming to merge into the next, as only another unpleasantly torrid extension of what had come before.
But in the main, these have been hot days. On Friday, D.C. Mayor Muriel E. Bowser (D) announced an extended heat emergency that was to remain activated through the weekend and into Tuesday or until conditions improved.
The city encouraged residents and visitors to guard against heat-related illnesses and to check on neighbors.
Officials urged those without air conditioning to seek relief in air-conditioned buildings and cooling centers.
They said people could ask for accessible transportation to a cooling center for themselves or for others by calling the shelter hotline at 202-399-7093 or by dialing 311.
