it's sunny and then it will move out and come back for the weekend. make it stop! it won't stop. we got down to 37 at b.w.i. we missed the other records in the area. but it was a chilly start. you got the sun up a few hours. the sun is so strong even at the low levels of the sign in may. that the rapid warmup occur. with that said, it is 63 degrees in northwest washington. through the day overthe city we enjoy bright blue skies. but late afternoon, the clouds starting to show up. high clouds south and west. more will develop tonight and become cloudy with a chance of rain by morning. pollen count. big numbers. low reading on the weeds. mold spores in the moderate range on monday. temperatures across the area are well below average. six to ten degrees below th

may. only getting cooler tomorrow. we'll be stuck in 50's with the rain. we should be in the lower 60's for wednesday to make it milder here. as far as the country goes or the eastern half, everybody is in the same game here with the cooler than average temperatures. even places like raleigh and charlotte. last week in the 80's day after day. they have cooled down as well. all due to the big area of high pressure overhead that gave us the gorgeous sunshine. center line moving out to open the door for the approaching cloudiness and the areas of the showers in the frontal zone. it is stretched out far from east to west and a warm front that will develop off the coast. this means prolonged period of clouds with occasional rain tomorrow morning. maybe 6:00 or 7:00. this commuter model with the steady rain over the city by 7:30. period of rain throughout mid-morning and the afternoon. it may break briefly and then tomorrow night come in again with the steady and the heavier downpour south of washington area. even wednesday morning we have rain to deal with here. we are thinking timing wise, by the time we hit

improvement. as far as how much rain will fall, computer models say over the next 48 hours we will get close to an inch and more. fredericksburg and leonard town. .9 in annapolis. same here. lesser amount if you get farther north and west toward the pennsylvania line. as far as tomorrow, cloudy skies and rain. highs at best of 58 degrees. winds turn northeast. raw day. 70% chance of rain on sunday. through the midday. tapering off and ending in the afternoon. 64. partly sunny. 70 thursday and friday. the weekend, mostly cloudy. 60% chance of rain. mid-60's on saturday. 30% chance on sunday. of course you go to work monday and bright and sunny again. leon: of course. alison: maybe it will -- doug: might as well laugh about it. nothing to do about it. alison: maybe it will change. doug: it could. alison: something could happen. doug: it probably won't but it could.

leon: "7 on your side" with health matters and the quest to communicate with children with the most severe form of autism. michelle marsh is here with promising news. michelle? michelle: yeah, this is offering families hope. the idea started with a father in washington state, who saw his daughter react like never before after getting an interactive elmo doll. a rare genetic mutation leaves 4-1/2-year-old lucy developmentally delayed. unable to speak, she only began walking this school year. she also has autism. but her parents noticed musical toys seem to hold her attention. then a relative gave lucy a talking elmo doll. >> in the beginning of the video, she is trying to get him do the song and dance. she does a hand waving thing. and she ge

can see her go in for the kiss. michelle: the tech savvy dog made therapy robots. >> the robots are drawn to them. they have sort of like really advanced toys. he and his wife misty formed a non-profit organization called robo-starter with a goal to raise enough money to purchase therapy robot for lucy's school. the teachers and the therapists believe it could be effective tool. >> i would love to for her to say hi one day. michelle: the robots cost between $700 and $7,000 a piece. they are costly. robo-starter held the first fundraiser this weekend. the youngmans are trying to raise enough money for her school district to use the therapy robots for other special needs students as well. we could see if it's success in term of the fundraising it could open the door up for other kids struggling.

michelle: it is. but the fundraising, the go fund me pages really bring people in. so we will keep track of it to see where it goes. is that once word gets out somebody will to to make it expensive. alison: look at this picture. you can't teach an old dog new tricks but this shows us an effort to teach a new dog. the parents didn't expect him to show the video to the dog. no idea if the puppy learned from the video. leon: who smarter? him or the dog? alison: he was captivated. leon: he was sitting. he got it. alison: step one. lesson one.

>> after pulling mail from the drain he decided to find a source that led to the sewer. all the mail in this wagon is stuff he pulled out. pepco bills. even a check. >> it looks like a $10,000 check to somebody for work and services rendered. sam: the postmaster didn't say who was responsible. we learned that the regular mailman had been off. back just today. >> somebody is in deep trouble. sam: now just so you realize that catch basin still has a whole lot of u.s. mail in it. the postal service is trying to work something out with d.c. water so they can open this up and retrieve the mail. in fact the postal service issued a statement this afternoon saying that the postal inspector is investigating. and that the postal service will make every effort to retrieve and deliver the mail.

on three other sections of the track. the trains only go 45 miles per hour on the red line between grover and dupont circle. the orange line between rosslyn and minnesota avenue. silver and the blue lines between rosslyn and benning road. this follows a directive by the f.t.a. to try to reduce electrical power drawn by the trains. metro says the restrictions should about have significant impact on service. all of this comes ahead of the general manager's safe track plan expected to be finalized this week. in arlington, brianne carter, abc7 news. leon: millions of people are buying into a fitness tracking trend. you strap a band on your wrist and count a step toward a healthier you. allegedly. but what you might not realize is that data that is collected could one day show up in court.
