4th. this marks the 50th year with the theme celebrating the circus and migration. still underway for the big stage in front of the u.s. capitol where this year the beach boy and four tops will perform as well as the national symphony orchestra. once again, the fourth of july parade will bring bands to the city from around the country and the grand finale of the fourth will be the fireworks which we are told this year will start promptly popping at 9 minutes after 9:00 and 30 seconds. it will last for 17 minutes. always a big concern for the area is security. when you have massive events like this. >> as recent incidents have shown in the united states but around the world, vehicle attacks are increasing potential and risk for large events with a lot of people.

we have a robust plan in place. sam: he said at this point there is no credible threat for this fourth of july celebration. the biggest concern is the temperature. it will be hot. the word is hydrate, hydrate, hydrate. we have more coming up on the story at "abc7 news at 5:00". when we will look at the security, the crowds and transportation. reporting live from the national mall, i'm sam ford, abc7 news. alison: sam, thank you. you mentioned the weather. this is really the kind of weather we want to see come 4th of july. clear, perfect for fireworks. but we have to get through the weekend, too. stormwatch7's chief meteorologist doug hill has the forecast. how is it shaping up? doug: it is looking okay. typical summertime. a couple of days with a higher chance of thunderstorms some days through the weekend. the next lower chances

not excessively so. look at the numbers now. a little above average. now 89 at reagan national and reston. 90 nedricksburg. 8 -- 90 in fredericksburg. 90 now in woodbridge. the humidity levels are creeping up. tomorrow you will notice the humidity more than today. no showers locally but a few out west at 81. they will end before they get close to metro area. in the areas west of 81 a cooling shower. the forecast a low drop in temperatures through the 80's tonight. brief look ahead. 92 tomorrow. 93 on saturday. good chance of storms. 91 on sunday. we talk about the fourth and the next ten days in ten minutes. nancy: thank you, doug. happening today the revised travel ban going into effect. president trump having to revamp it after courts blocked his first one. that happened again but the supreme court put an end to that with some restrictions. ahead at 4:30 we will break down exactly who will be allowed to enter the country come 8:00. that is when the ban is

enforced. a lot of reaction pouring in after what are calling a mean-spirited tweet from president trump. nancy: this was aimed at cable news anchors and the critical comments on "morning joe." alison: some tough talk about foreign policy. nancy: and the instapoll. how do you describe the president's tweets? self-defense or online bullying? go to wjla.com/votenow to weigh in. alison: meanwhile, our melissa dipane has the back-and-forth on twitter. melissa: another day, another tweet. today president trump tweeted out this negative tweet about mika brzezinski calling her crazy, saying she has a "low i.q." he even commented about her appearance at a new year's eve event at mar-a-largo. folks we talk to say it's an unfortunate new norm. >> it's what we have seen so far in this presidency. everything is fair game. it seems like a total hypocrisy. i don't find it surprising. >> others fear it's a distraction and his plan. t

daughter and everybody else run the country while he makes up stories to keep people distracted because he doesn't know what he is doing. >> i think people should ignore all of this. this is just a distraction from looking at the underlying issues. melissa: this tweet is just one of many not so nice tweet sent by the commander-in-chief. despite his wife's melania's first lady platform to fight cyber bullying. others say the name-calling sends a message to kids like her young son. >> i know trump is kind of mean. >> the president of the united states can be a bully. why shouldn't my 6-year-old boy be. >> he gets in trouble over it. he will get sent to the principal's office but the president can say or do whatever he wants. >> despite her pledge to fight cyber bullying a spokes penn for the first lady said as she says in the past when her husband feels like he has been attacked he will punch back ten times harder. melissa dipane, abc7 news. alison: an hour ago we got

white house about the tweets. take a listen. >> did the president go too far with his tweet in the deeply personal nature? >> i don't think so. i think that the president has been attacked mercilessly on personal accounts by that program. he has been very clear that when he gets attacked he is going to hit back. i think the american people electedded somebody who is tough, who is smart and who is a fighter. that is donald trump. i don't think it's a surprise to anybody that he fights fire with fire. the things that this show has called him and not just him but numerous members of his staff, including myself and many others are very deeply personal. alison: once again the reaction from the white house. you can still weigh in at wjla.com/votenow. we'll check in on that poll throughout the evening. nancy: right now, safetrack is over and it's sending out members of -- some of the members to g

riding through thick and thin. brianne carter is at the columbia heights stop. hey, brianne. brianne: nancy, the riders will see more metro workers out at the stations just like this one this afternoon. that is because metro is sending out many of the employees to thank the riders, sending out thank you notes and a token of appreciation for what they think was enduring safetrack. a year of track work where they pushed three years of track work into one. this is as the union is expected to fan out across the station as well talking to the riders telling them not to drink the kool-aid from metro employees. they say this comes as they are enduring fare hikes and service cuts. we expect that there will be a rally from metro's largest union and the others here at this station. starting at 5:30 tonight. we have much more coming up throughout the evening. reporting live, brianne carter, abc7 news. alison: th

4:00" -- the fireworks recall. nancy: the brand that is blowing up too soon. plus, this -- >> hey, buddy! nancy: the daring rescue at sea. the one thing everybody on board even the 4-year-old that helped save their lives. >> this silver spring building used to sell glass. but now one company wants to use it to sell grass. the story still ahead. alison: ahead at 4:30 today, can you believe it was five years ago today that derecho? power was out and 911 was down across the area. the changes made to make sure critical lifelines are

alison: "7 on your side" with a consumer alert. the consumer product safety commission recalled 36,000 fireworks. impacts the tnt red, white and blue smoke fireworks. there are multiple report of explosions when they are lit. if you have one, don't use it and contact the manufacturer to get a refund. this reminder, if you are using this fireworks this summer which by the way is not

a reminder to be safe. we have all the tools you need at wjla.com to help prevent you from becoming a victim. nancy: medical marijuana coming to maryland. stores will sell the drug. silver spring has the first one and kevin lewis explains not everyone is high on the idea. kevin: if all goes according to plan there will be green inside this vay can't building. both the cash and the leaf kind. chicago based green thumb industries announced they plan to open a medical marijuana dispensary by year's end. pending final approval. executives say they will fare creams, capsules and oils to as many as 150 customers a day. >> i'm hoping it won't work here. i'm across the street from it. kevin: marisol called silver spring home for 26 years and is fearful the

attract riffraff and harm property values. >> honestly, i would like a deli. it would help college kids. they have to walk to 7-eleven to get something done, to get something to eat. >> the dispensary's neighbors ns will include a church, elsalvadoran consulate, community garden, montgomery college campus and early childhood center. >> it's surprising it would be near a lot of to buildings and a school. kevin: it's worth noting there are bars and liquor stores in the neighborhood as well. the state of maryland issued 102 preliminary licenses for medical marijuana shops. as the law reads anyone 21 or older with a prescription from a licensed doctor can buy the drug. in silver spring, i'm kevin lewis, abc7 news. >> hey, buddy. alison: take a look at this. a daring rescue out of

the coast guard was on the scene to save five people after the boat capsized. this happened three miles off of riceville beach. four adults were on board but so was the little 4-year-old. luckily everyone was wearing a life jacket. and was able to cling to the boat until help arrived. nancy: good they are all okay. when an umpire makes the news it's almost never good. but not this time. major league baseball is credited with saving a woman's life in pittsburgh, pulling her from the edge of the roberto clemente bridge when walking to the park for work. he shared what happened after the woman was pulled to safety. >> she said, "you'll forget me after this." i said, "no, i'll never forget you." unbelievable day and i'm glad she can have another day with us. nancy: incredible story there. after that, he said he just wants that woman to know people care about

in utah wants the same opportunity as boys. so they are taking the school district to court to get it. they want to play football at school. right now they are only allowed to play in utah's girls tackle football league. one of the girls involved says playing for her school could lead to a college scholarship. >> if the girls have the same opportunity they would jump at the chance to do so. >> i want it to be there for my cousins and my friends and maybe my daughter. alison: so lauren's father says there is clearly a demand for this. the utah girls tackle football league has 200 members. nancy: wow! alison: if you can believe that. nancy: 200. good for them. that's awesome. alison: yeah. nancy: how about this? amazing video out of iowa. a massive tornado touching down last night. storm chaser capturing the photos as the funnel rips. it passed over the homes, roads and the trees. she says the tornado dissipated after ten minutes on the ground.

significant damage. this is one of many tornadoes that popped up as a powerful storm system moved through the area. alison: doze don't even look real, the maimages. today is an anniversary that few here will forget. five years ago was the derecho. that line of severe storms that started in the midwest and then rushed all the way off the coast. we had trees down, power out for days. some for more than a week. oppressive heatwave at the time. and 911 was even knocked offline. we'll see what is being done to prehaven't it happening again but it was an incredible store. there is talk we are due for that again. what does it mean? doug: things like that, you are never due for. i'm doing a story at a:15 on the -- 5:15 on this. and nathan baca will have the infrastructure effects of the storm. but if you look back how often it occurs it's the

midatlantic, derecho, once every four years. that is a statistical thing. not a prediction. we are not due a storm in those years but historically if you count it up that is how often it happens alison: hope it doesn't happen. it was crazy. doug: it was. 70 to 80-mile-per-hour winds around the area. what is crazy about that, the day it happened on this day in 2012, we set a record high of 104 degrees in washington. the storms came roaring out of iowa across the country. when you hit you think it would cool. huh-uh. look at the days after derecho. the day after 97. 99 on the 1st of july. look through july 7th, 105 degrees. incredible heat. a very hot year that summer. this year we see how it goes. we are stot starting off with the extreme heat but it's early, june. nancy: today wasn't bad after all. doug: nice. tomorrow is more humid. let's run through as many of the graphics we can. beautifu

chesapeake beach. the winds are 10, 12 miles per hour. no small craft advisories in effect. that is good. fishermen and the crabbers and everybody else. the weather will be delightful. the temperatures in the 80's. we will slowly drop. tad more humid. not oppressive overwhelping community. the temperatures are in the average range. that is the average high today, 88. we have been tracking storms along 81. it looks like here in the next hour or two they should diminish approaching the western suburbs here. we will see what happens with that. no expectations that we have any real impact across the greater area. tomorrow is warmer. the metro area will stay dry. saturday is a different story. on saturday we have 60% chance of thunderstorms in the afternoon and the evening. it's hot and humid. 91 on sun

the humidity to team up on us. we are forecasting 90 degrees. there is no significant difference. the moisture in the air will increase so it will feel like the mid-90's. no rain in the monday forecast. we may get a brief break on the humidity. but back on tuesday, the fourth with a chance of a few isolated late day thunderstorms. anything that develops we are confident to be out of the picture by 9:00. wednesday and thursday is typical weather. hot and humid. remaining warm. seasonably so for next week and the next weekend. alison: watching for the rocket launch is like waiting for april the giraffe. nancy: watching and watching. sten scrubbed attempts but it finally happened. there three, two, one. >> lift off. 4:25! the weather is just right

of virginia's easter shore. scientists are hoping to study the ionssphere. nancy: well, that rocket created the auroras. alison: like the northern lights and that was lighting up the sky. flights lasted eight minutes. there is a lot to learn from that. it land 90 miles off the coast in the ocean. alison: coming up next at 4:00, iphone turns 10. you won't believe the seemingly everyday things we do now because of the first true smartphone. nancy: still ahead, a woman runs down a man she says tries to take her purse. now she is facing charges. both sides of the bizarre sc

alison: well, the iphone is turning ten years old today. nancy: wow! happy birthday. alison: of course it's undergone a lot of changes though, throughout the years. nancy: perhaps, though, the biggest impact is how we have changed because of it. i have two around here somewhere. everyone is on them these days. lindsey mastis shows us how the iphone affected us in the past decade. lindsey: a lot of us remember when we got our first iphone because it did change everything. this tweet kind of sums it up. the world was divided into before and after the iphone came in our hands. the other, it's been ten years since my brain

functioning attention span. now i can't even finish a -- others call it alarm's clock most hated nemesis. the thing that kids prefer over toys. because of it we are not memorizing people's phone numbers anymore. that is right. i can't remember my husband's. it's why we are all i believe to take so many bathroom cell phones. nancy: all of us. ten years ago people had a conversation with each other. lindsey: or reading the newspaper at the time. you know? i don't know if much changed in the way of communication. but definitely bathroom selfies, that is our generation. nancy: proud of it. alison: i could do without those. lindsey: yeah. alison: thank you. nancy: next at "abc7 news at 4:00" -- less than eight hours until the revised travel ban is enforced. who is allowed in and the brewing legal battle before the supreme court coming

>> and what dominion energy is doing to keep these standing when the next derecho strikes. alison: coming up at 5:00, ten years after the iphone was introduced we look at cell phone insurance. "7 on your side" tell us if it's worth it tonight at

announcer: you're watching "abc7 news at 4:00". on your side. alison: five years ago today the derecho hit our area. it killed 22 people across the eastern states. it knocked out power to millions. nancy: what has been done to protect your family from the next derecho strike? nathan baca is live in vienna to find out. hey, nathan. nathan: power poles like these are the lifeline to 911 and other emergency services. that derecho storm hit northern virginia power poles especially hard. what lessons have been learned? we went inside the herndon control center where the power company faced some of the greatest challenges needing to restore power to 900,000 virginia homes. power outages knocked out 911 services around the area that led to

companies run the generators to keep the vital lines on. they say the derecho propelled them to speed up the process and protect them from the falling trees. >> we have put lines underground for 600 miles. there will be more to come in the future. >> a lot more has been done and there is live alerts on power outages to customers and the underground power happening now. we will highlight those at 5:00 on abc7 news. reporting live, nathan baca, abc7 news. alison: thank you. what i remember is the unusual factors that came out of nowhere. >> we are tracking it all day long. it came across the entire country. and we could track it on the

it arrived. it arrived on time. it stayed together all those hours. that is what they do. it's what it means. that is the strongest one i remember. we will get to talk about the weekend weather and the fourth of july. this map will show green. we show you at 2:00 where the storms were. they were over north central ohio and steadily the line, these are the radar slices all the way along. it came through after sunset in metro with 70 to 80-mile-per-hour wind gusts reported around the region. a big outbreak. nathan talked a about the effects. this is the imaging with the heavy rain. we could see the winds speeding in. it's done in the books five years

nothing like that in the future. statistically if you look back at the number of the derechos we have had over the years, generally a statistic is once every four years is the frequency. but it doesn't mean it happens every four years. it's been five since we had one. the showers diminish. the heat and the humidity, not oppressive but enough to be uncomfortable for any length of time outside. the weekend, no rain tomorrow and likely on saturday afternoon but not likely on sunday. steve is at the folklife festival and will talk about that coming up. alison: thank you. on the hill a senate committee rebuking president trump's plan to privatize air traffic control. the built reauthorizing the f.a.a. leaves that out. so what is in it? increased spending for airport

improvement. protection from bumping meaning it would ban airlines from removing passengers who already boarded. so far there is bipartisan support. nancy: president trump's limited travel ban goes into effect today. the changes are unlikely to be immediately visible at the airports in the united states or elsewhere. maggie rulli explains. maggie: the first day that the trump administration newly revised travel ban takes effected people are starting to feel the effects. some travelers left stranded. >> the government should reconsider that all the people are human. >> others are ready to fight. my inbox is blowing up with the lawyers because they are ready to come back out. >> president trump's executive order in january calling for a travel ban on the six mostly muslim countries resulted in chaos at the

if someone from a restricted country wants a visa they have to prove bona fide relationship to someone in the u.s. that is a parent, son, daughter, daughter-in-law or sibling. >> it's frustrating that the government can redesign the concept of family. maggie: she plans to get married in fall but wonders if her family is allowed to come to her wedding. >> i was raised by my grandparents. the idea i couldn't have them at my wedding is heartbreaking. >> the administration argues it will help protect americans with terrorists using extreme vetting calling the ban's reinstatement a win for national security. the travelers will have to learn a few more months to learn their fate. the s
