weekend. chief meteorologist doug hill has the latest track on this. it looks like it's coming right at us. doug: it's coming up the coast. it's not coming at us. i will stay southeast but it could be close enough to have effect on the area. it had looked like it would by a out to sea and we'd have sunny and warm weather. it may not happen. let me show you why. computer model gets in line here. one of the major models today started singing that tune, too, once the storm makes landfall up here on the upper florida coast tomorrow night it will take a track to the northeast for the next couple of days. that would have an effect on the beaches, the atlantic beaches, virginia beach, the north carolina beaches. maybe the delmarva beaches. a major impact. can't rule out effects to the area. tracking further west. wet forecast for the weekend. worse at the beaches. clearing for labor day. good news for you there. as far as what we're watching the top winds now are 40 miles per hour.

showers and thunderstorms. now it's moving slowly north and northeast making landfall tomorrow night on the upper florida coast with 65-mile-per-hour winds. come across georgia, emerge back off over the shelf water of the atlantic and be off hatteras. this is the old track from the hurricane center. we think the new 5:00 track could inch us closer to us. the closer it is to us the more likely it is that the weekend will be a little more adverse. this is all the computer model. the center lain of them is right here. through are a couple inch it farther and farther west. the farther west the track goes the more likely we'll be impacted here. needless to say a shot more to share in the next couple of hours. back to you. michelle: because this is so fast moving stay with our entire stormwatch7 team. even when you are away from the team, get the update on all the platforms and th

jonathan: tragic story to tell you about in leesburg. a mother and her 5-month-old baby. hit by a car. the baby we found out has died. michelle: they had just dropped off their older child at school. the accident happening just a couple of blocks from seldens landing elementary school. along riverside parkway and kipheart drive. q mccray is on the scene. what have police shared with you so favor? q: you said it yourself. sadly we know now that the 5-year-old is dead. we got this confirmed from law enforcement and the elementary school which is three blocks away from where i'm standing now. we found out the school sent out letters to the parents letting them know there will be grief counselors for whoever needs them. the accident happened here behind me. this is the intersection and the crosswalk where the mom was walking with her 5-month-old in the stroller when they were hit by a car making a left-hand turn. this is a closer look at

stroller. i was in pieces in the middle of riverside parkway here. this is a nice quiet neighborhood called landsdown but witnesses say it gets busy here in the morning especially around 8:00 when it all happened. peak saw the crash and ran to help. mom was laying in the street creaming for help. the baby was thrown from the stroller and they were giving it c.p.r. a scene they won't soon forget. >> i'm still shivering. i couldn't see the baby lying there. like a doll. looked small. q: again, the baby passed away. the mom is still fighting for her life at the hospital. the driver stayed on the scene. he is cooperating 100% with law enforcement. i still remains to be seen if he will face charges. we'll keep you posted. that is the latest. q mccray, abc7 news. michelle: just to be clear, that was a crosswalk, right, where she cr

q: yeah. yeah, right here behind me. she was in the crosswalk. but we don't know if she had the right-of-way or the car had the right-of-ua. we're trying to confirm that. michelle: thank you. earlier in week the department of transportation released data showing a five-decade trend of decline in traffic deaths ended. more than 35,000 people died in crashes last year. that figure is 2,300 more than 2014. less than four hours ago, maryland's governor signed an executive order pushing back the start of public school classes in the year 2017 until after labor day. that is the subject of tonight's instapoll question. jonathan: weigh in. go to wjla.com/votenow. let us know what you think. that is the website. our maryland bureau chief brad bell explain what the changes mean. brad: with the stroke of his pen by executive

governor larry hogan officially made maryland's summer longer. >> the executive order will require maryland public schools to start classes after labor day and it will require them to end the school year by june 15. brad: the governor hopes to generate $80 million in revenue for maryland business. economic boost for businesses large and small. like ocean city beach rental stand. >> after like a certain week in august, just like all the kids leave. is like the beach is empty right now. it's just crazy. brad: there is vocal opposition to what the governor has done here today. the teachers union and many local school districts say they should have the authority to control the school calendar. the governor says he has the authority to do what he has done. it will stand up to challenge. here in ocean city, it's a popular move.

enough. it's still too hot for the kids to be in school. >> me, i personally think it should be old school. after labor day go back to school. bodies in ocean city, brad bell, abc7 news. jonathan: the so-called king's dominion law in virginia means the kids return to school a week from today in most schools there. we are always curious what do the kids look like when they head back to school? we have seen great pictures. send back-to-school pictures logging on to burst.com/wjla. there is a bubble there and you will see how to do it. just click on the back-to-school bubble to put your pictures there. on the subject of schedule changes, metro safetrack measures are forcing the marine corps marathon to work without the early start to those runners and the spectators that used the metro in past. abc7 transportation reporter brianne carter explains what resources are available for those who need to get in and out of arlington race day and early. what can they do? brianne:

we're at the finish line for the runners on the day. the steps they take to get here this year will look different. in the past, metro opened at 5:00 a.m. to move runners and spectators but with safetrack underway and a moratorium on early openings or late closings that won't be the case this year. metro won't open until 7:00 a.m. the marathon will kick off at 7:55 a.m. like in years past. this year, however, the race start line will stay open for 60 minutes. so if you are delayed getting here you can still get on the race course and get the race underway. the route will see changes as women. less time on rock creek parkway and more times in the street in arlington to get them back across the 14th street bridge so the race organizers can open the bridge up in the afternoon at the dedicated time they agreed to. for the 10k, it will now start 80 minutes later than in years past.

previously the marathon and the 10k started at the same time in different locations. the 10k along the national mall. that will not be the case this year. the 10k will be entirely run here in arlington. to limit dependency on metro they set up shuttle buses for runners and spectators and designated parking areas throughout the region. >> pay parking locations at the ronald reagan building and the international trade center and the ballston common mall will offer additional options for runners in the nation's capital traveling along 66 in the morning. additional pay parking is within walking distehance of the runner's village at the pentagon city mall. brianne: once they realize the depth of safetrack and met with the general manager of metro paul wiedefeld they realized that is not the case. there is question marks in the ai

expected to come out later in september and announce the order of those final safetrack surges, surges 10-15. how will it ill pact the race? we'll have more on that coming up at 5:00. michelle: hepatitis "a" outbreak linked to egyptian strawberries grown to more than 50 cases in four states. health official says three confirmed cases are linked to frozen berries used at a tropical smoothie cafe in martinsburg. they confirm 40 of the viral infections. there have reportedly been cases in maryland and north carolina. tropical smoothie cafe say the contaminated strawberry from egypt have all been pulled. to see all of our coverage on the hepatitis a outbreak go to wjla.com and search "smoothie." jonathan: in race for the white house donald trump is taking a political risk. he has gone to mexico hours before he will deliver a speech on immiat

with. show some respect. later tonight trump will deliver a landmark speech on immigration in arizona. on fox news his v.p. suggested there will be no shift in his position. >> no pathway to legalization or citizenship. reporter: hillary clinton criticized the trip to mexico as a political stunt. >> it takes more than trying to make up for a year of insults and insinuations by dropping dropping dropping in our neighbors for a few hours and then flying home again. reporter: clinton has her own share of issues. approximately 30 new e-mails are expected to be released soon. and a new poll out today finds clinton unfavorability numbers are rising now at 59%. practically tied with trump. mexico's president extended the same invitation to hillary clinton. her campaign says she looks forward to meeting with him at the appropriate time. reporting from northwest, lana zack, abc7 news. michelle: all right. we are following breaking news out of ke

history. >> it is emotional to go back home. >> i'm coming back after eight years without seeing my family. reporter: eric diaz was the first to check in, eager to visit his family now as a proud u.s. citizen. >> i want to venture out. i feel like christopher columbus. >> the send off for telated group culminated with a water cannon salute. a reporter on board. >> we are told of the 150 passengers, 65 of them are regular travelers. the others are members of the media. and we're told the entire crew is of cuban descent. >> making this touchdown on cuban soil that much more significant for the cuban-americans. before this flight it was nearly impossible to visit their families who stay behind under castro's regime. but even now tourism to

programs verses sipping a mojita on the beach? kimberly: it's a special category of sanction countries regulated by the treasury department. in years past they would fine americans who didn't go under the proper license or the proper way. now it's basically the honor system. nobody is cuba is going to stop you. coming up at 5:00 we talk much more about that. who is getting caught for not following the rules? how much the u.s. is enforcing the rules? michelle: you mentioned you have to have a travel license. what is the process for obtaining that? kimberly: i went through the travel company because of the eight-hour requirement of the cultural educational touring. i thought how would i set it up? they did the whole itinerary. this is mine. i wrote notes each day and i'm supposed to keep it with my passport for five years. i have a stamp from a communist country in my passport. border patrol may want you to know what were you doing there? michelle:

very heavy on the freeway. 295 heading south. late to clear road work. i was scheduled to clear an hour ago. so get ready for bumper to bumper traffic. jonathan: thank you. we thought we'd have sunny, mild, warm weekend. we're going to get grazed by a tropical storm. michelle: should we change our plans? doug: you just need to take what the weather team is telling you into your plans as you make them. it's not a done deal we'll lose the sunny weekend. but it's looking more and more likely that we will have the clouds and showers. it all depends how close to coast this tropical storm gets. this is tampa. they moved the game to tonight instead of tomorrow but even with that, this is what it looks like in tampa. more of that is expected tonight. nothing dangerous. but very rainy conditions. i become windier through the day tomorrow. it looks like the focus

going to be the upper panhandle on the northern gulf coast of florida. there are a number of warnings in advance of the tropical storm. a ton of thunderstorms. brewing and sitting still all morning. this is drifting north and then the northeast. steady northeast track. the problem is the past 24 hours the computer models, many of them shifting in the track farther to the north and west. that brings it over land and closer in shore. the official hurricane track will be released at 5:00 this afternoon. some of the guidance is not in the previous track. this is what we've got. landfall across georgia tomorrow night. coming off the hatteras coast, 8:00 saturday morning off hatteras with a lot of winds and rain. then headed nor

spaghetti plot. this is the estimated track off of hatteras. but there are those to the west, those to the east. again. we have to watch it. this is the change we have seen for a past couple of days. keep that in mind. don't change your plans yet. download the app and stay ahead of the weather. so it's not bad tonight. muggy. isolated shower in the mountains. lows in the 70's. tomorrow, the cold front and shower to knock the temperatures down into the lower 80's tomorrow. friday is beautiful. plenty of sunshine. then this. how strong will it be? where will it go? the weekend may not turn out to be sunny and pleasant at all. we'll keep you ahead of the storm. maybe two steps. they's it. michelle: thank you for that. we are tracking breaking news now out of m

drug. reporter: most people who use epipens have more than one around. >> i have one in my purse, one in my bedroom, one in the kitchen. reporter: many are wondering how the company behind the epipen can get away with a huge price increase. >> the simple answer is just greed. companies charge what they can and people make what they can and we'll pay as much as we will pay to take care of those we love. reporter: he is with public citizen and says the issue is systemic. >> we give pharmaceutical companies monopoly powers and we don't give ourselves the power to negotiate with them. reporter: some pin the blame on government. on lawmakers who should be doing more and the federal agents that some say stifle competition. >> the corner door down the street can't
