else. when the rain picks back up it won't stop until tomorrow. jonathan: abc7 has team coverage for you this afternoon. stormwatch7's meteorologist steve rudin breaking down the timing of the heaviest rain yet to fall. >> we have others monitoring the condition. we begin with steve rudin in the forecast for the weekend. washout? steve: i hate to say this but if you thought it was bad earlier in morning and into the afternoon hours, you it is going to get worse moving through overnight. especially when the sun goes down. the rain totals, four inches in gaithersburg. a little over two and a half in riverdale. you can see over two inches in hyattsville. we are probably going to add another one to three inches to the numbers. show you what is going on now. we have active flash flood warnings out there for the district, arlington, alexandria, fairfax and prince george's county. that one is until 6:15. we head in closer. the timing on this is not good at all. these are

slow-moving rain cells producing upward of two inches of rain per hour. there is more on the way and the heaviest rain is later tonight. addison heights, heavy downpours. old town alexandria the ryan starting to let up a little bit. least for right now. widen the view out and show what is going on. all of this out here west of us is on the way as we move to 7:00 8:00 tonight. that is when the rain is really going to pick up along with the potential for gusty winds. upward of 20 to 30 miles per hour along with a few embedded thunderstorms. flash flood watch remains in effect for the entire area. this is through the overnight hours and into tomorrow afternoon. the biggest threat tonight is localized flash flooding. the heavy, heavy downpours. otherwise it's wet, windy and a lot cooler for the day tomorrow. we will give yo

hour-by-hour look at the freshly updated future cast and talk about the beach outlook for the weekend coming up in a few minutes. jonathan: all right, steve. thank you. rock creek along beach drive already overflowing as it almost always does with the storms but there is a lot of water with the rain. kevin lewis with mobiletrak7 in kensington. the park is under water. we have seen it before but this is a little more because of what we've had. kevin: yeah, this is the worst flooding we have seen by far all day long. we are at beach drive and cedar lane, jonathan. you can see this park is fully under water. the water has subsided over the last few hours. you can see the water line here. this is how high it was at the peak. where i'm sitting right now the water would have easily been over my kneecap. maryland national capitol park police shut down the drive. it's closed for miles between rockville pike and connecticut avenue. they have the large yellow metal barricades.

they turn on and hit the brake and honk the horn but the alternative was to send people down the roadway with water on it. not good either. look at the video we got earlier this afternoon around 12:00 noon in wheaton. this is at the intersection of veers mill road and connecticut avenue where the water was standing. so they actually, the montgomery county police shut down the roadway. and caused a lot of traffic concerns. there are also serious issues in olsen and gaithersburg -- olney and gaithersburg. and in wheaton due to the flash flooding. i would put the peak in montgomery county between 11:00 a.m. and 12:00 noon today. since then all the water has started to dissipate. if you come back out to us live here on the other side of the park now, this is the cedar lane bridge. you can see there is probably 18 inches to two feet of the clearance below. at the height of this, 1:00, 2:00 this afternoon we were talking a matter of an inch or

start, that the bridge would become overcome with water. thankfully for our sake, the rain has stopped falling down here kensington. but this is a much different story outside the studios in arlington. isn't that right, brianne carter? brianne: indeed, it is, kevin. the rain once again coming down heavy in arlington. take a look and you can see the folks trying to dodge the heavy rain here. not seeing a lot of standing or the ponding on the roadways in this section of arlington at this hour. but it doesn't mean we haven't seen it earlier today. along route 110 earlier today we saw water starting to pool up. and along the g.w. parkway as well as folks were trying to get in and out of arlington. it was a similar scene was well. once again the rain has started to pick up once again. a number of people are just waiting outside the building to see if this latest round is in fact going to slow down. giving them another chance. you can see a lot of umbrellas. not keeping many folks from walking through here in rosslyn. we will continue to keep

the rain falling once again. reporting live, brianne carter, abc7 news. jonathan: thank you very much. i want to show you something. look at this. water cascading to 395 in springfield. our abc7's jay korff tweeting this video out saying that the ramps were designed to prevent flooding. but there is so much water out there this is the kind of stuff we are seeing now. incredible. if you are out on the roads, please be careful. it's easy to hydroplane with this much water on the road. alison: exactly. take your time. look at this. another perspective. heavy rain decrepitting on northwest -- descend on northwest washington. this is a downpour in the area of 14th street. you want to keep the umbrellas handy all evening long. jonathan: speaking of umbrellas handy, president trump certainly needed his. he was climbing aboard air force one at joint base andrews and when his staff got on board, my goodness, the heavens opened up. it was dumping out there. shortly after that, air force one was on its way climbing up and in the clouds. he was on his way to long island, new york. coming up you w

gathering of law enforcement. alison: stay connected on the stormwatch7's weather alert day. get updates on facebook, twitter, the stormwatch7 weather app and wjla.com. all to help you stay ahead of the storm. jonathan: well, now we know no jail time for the police officer that did that. he rammed a man with the cruiser that he was chasing. you see there is a point of impact. this happened june. ryan hughes explains the punishment for hernandez will face is not what some were hoping for. dash cam video shows the moment the prince george's county police officer juan hernandez gives chase to a suspect and hits the 22-year-old man with the cruiser. today 13 months after the incident, hernandez had been sentenced to two years supervised probation and community service. >> certainly we felt that he deserves some sort of jailtime given the fact a jury of his peers found him guilty of second-degree

reporter: hernandez convicted last month. but june last year, they were responding to call for a suspect armed with a weapon. another officer gave chase on food. but he drove after the suspect with the patrol car. in the sentencing the state said hernandez made a conscious choice to serve and struck the suspect. called it callous and lazy policing. >> he was chasing someone who was thought to be armed. he wanted to stay safe. protect his fellow officers. protect his community and go home to his family at the end of the night. >> a weapon never found. fellow officers heard's father came to his -- hernandez's father came to his defense and said he was a family man and willing to go the extra mile. but the police powers were suspended since he was indict and now the status with the department is pending interim administrative process. in upper marlboro, ryan hughes, abc7 news. alison: the search continues for the man who stabbed a woman in

in fairfax county. this happened yesterday on the jerry connelly cross county trail as the woman was heading to the vienna metro station. we spoke to people today and the attack has them on edge. >> i'll be more careful this morning. probably get pepper spray in the future. alison: the police still do not have a good description of the man but if they get information leading to an arrest in a case there is a reward up to $1,000. jonathan: two days after one person was killed seven others were hurt in the horrifying accident at the ohio state fair. one person part of the injury list who climbed aboard the fire ball ride. this thing broke apart. the rider explains exactly what happened. >> went all the way up in the sky and came back. then it came back and it was too close to the ground. it did it again one more time. that is when it hit the ground. blew off. then the p

jonathan: it was horrible. the "7 on your side" i-team found the rides like this across the country were shut down for further inspection including one that was operating in ocean city. an 11-month-old charlie gard has died. he was in the center of a drawn out legal health battle against the parents who wanted to keep him alive and the doctors who wanted to stop treating him. he suffered from a rare con generative condition that left him with irreversible brain damage. a court ordered him move from the hospital to hos tis yesterday and that is where -- hospice yesterday and that is where he died. alison: this is senator john mccain leaving the capitol after making the deciding vote on last night's healthcare bill. the office says the senator will start radiation and chemotherapy on monday in arizona. mccain plans on being back in d.c. in september. president trump: they should have approved healthcare last night. you can't have everything. boy, oh, boy, they have been working on that one for seven years.

alison: meanwhile the president took time to reflect on the senate's inability to do what the house did. pass the healthcare reform bill. we explain what happens next on the hill. reporter: a humbling realization for republicans. >> i think we have to work in a bipartisan capacity. reporter: finger-pointing from president trump who doesn't have a single major legislative victory. president trump: they should have approved healthcare last night but you can't have everything. boy, oh, boy. they have been working on that for seven years. can you believe this? reporter: through the echoes of protesters who flooded the capitol late thursday. >> we will not give up. reporter: republicans coming up one vote short after senator john mccain returned after being diagnosed with brain cancer to cast the deciding vote to kill the bill. leaving the latest attempts to repeal and replace obamacare dead on the senate floor after seven years of promises and months of

>> that has been the fundamental commitment by republicans in house, republicans in the senate and the president. reporter: so now it's back to the drawing board. this time with more lawmakers open to the possibly of working across the aisle. >> some are talking about tax reform others are trying to continue on healthcare to attract broad g.o.p. support. >> i'm still optimistic we will have another motion to proceed. and all all ultimately proceed. >> there will always be more work to do and congress must demonstrate the necessary bipartisan and a political courage to build on the affordable care act. in northwest, newsom.

about from the "live desk." if you're flying today, you better call your carrier before you head to the airport. this is a look at the three area -- the closest airports up and down the atlantic coast. three in washington, philadelphia and then laguardia up there. the real problem for us right now is that b.w.i. which is having what they call a "ground stop." even if you have left the gate, you have to stay where you are. if you are at the gate you will stay there. they have a traffic management program in place there. that means it's in effect for traffic arriving and departing. it's an issue at d.c.a., which is reagan international airport. if delays are now an hour and three-quarters. interestingly enough, out at dulles international airport, which had two-hour delays not an hour ago they say there are no arrival or departure delays there. so it's a mixed bag

afternoon. better call your carrier before you even go. [sirens] jonathan: coming up next at 4:00, how the little device could stop the crooks at gas stations across the country. >> designating a street one way is sparking a lot of confusion in a d.c. neighborhood. i'm stephen tschida. that story for you in a moment. erin: i'm erin hawksworth live at redskins training camp. only day two and i scored the first sit down with the always entertaining josh norman. hear what he had to say about traffic talk. coming up next. steve: i'm steve rudin. sloppy commute. we have a preview in a while on the show.

alison: a move on the d.c. streets are confusing the drivers. stephen tschida is along a small part of emerson street now one way. steve one way signs went up saturday. a week later the drivers had the wrong way. >> i'm sorr

i was following my g.p.s. >> those on emerson pleaded for the one-way designation saying google sent too many drivers down emerson. >> i knew it would happen but it happened in short notice. no one is paying attention. stephen: the deal is emerson between 13 and 16 is one way. west of 14th one way heading west. check this out. east of 14th one way heading east. >> here we are coming down our usual traffic pattern that we have done for many years. stephen: the folks hope that pretty soon most drivers will get with the designated traffic pattern. stephen tschida, abc7 news. jonathan: "7 on your side" with a consumer alert. card skimmers have been hurting people for years now. a florida guy wants to put an end to that. his name is chris gilpin who invented gas pump century. it doesn't

from working but it sets off an alarm and it sends a notification when they are installed. possibly in some cases catching the person in the act. >> we know paying at the pump is not going to change but we want to make sure that the gas stations are doing more to protect the financial information. jonathan: good invention. the gas stations in florida are already working to install by august 1. good for him. >> it's football weather outside today. jonathan: it is. alison: definitely is for the redskins. jonathan: the rain plays into that. you can sit home and watch someone else running around in it. but it's not stopping the training camp. erin hawksworth is joining us under an umbrella we hope to watch what is happening on the field. alison: hi, erin. erin: believe it or not, it hasn't been raining. it did earlier in the morning but it's nice right now. it's tolerable. it's day two of training camp. i feel like i scored a touchdown because i got the first sit down with josh norman today. we all know about the feuds he

dez bryant on the field. so i was shocked when he had this to say earlier today. >> i don't trash talk. erin: you don't? >> i don't. i don't know where it came from. erin: i didn't know that. that thought it was your thing. >> that is definitely not my thing. it's something that people don't know about me. it never is my thing. it never is how i came to be. never how i am. i step on that field i am better than you. that is not trash talk. that is just what it is. erin: so you are not out there talking at all? >> i'm not saying anything unless they say something to me. that gets me going. if you talk to me -- erin: then you fire back. >> take it to another level. erin: who is the biggest trash talking receiver? whether it's fun or -- >> i will just say they are there. for

owens get your popcorn ready. i'm looking forward to this. whether josh norman is telling the truth about the trash talking or not, you know the division games are going to be a blast this season. jonathan: you know what is funny? you see him jawing somebody on the field. i can't imagine they are talking about the weather at that point. steve: they might be, though. erin: right! we have so much proof. alison: exactly. jonathan: put a mic on him and listen to what he has to say in a game. alison: steve is offended by the comment. steve: they could be talking about the weather! it's really hot outside or about to rain. don't throw that yet. jonathan: that is not happening. steve: no? jonathan: no, sir. steve: good try. we had heavy rain earlier today. if you were out and about driving it was coming down the buckets. it's unbelievable. i haven't seen this in a long time. that's the beginning. i want to show you the latest

this is the heaviest of the rain over the district. arlington, alexandria. you can see the area shaded in red. that is a flash flood warning. that means that the flooding is happening right now. the roadways are beginning to get covered up. streams are overriding the banks so be extra careful. fairfax, alexandria, the district, prince george's county. the rest of area shaded in green. that would be a flash flood watch. anything in green might change over to red over the next 12 hours or so. as the heavier bands move across the d.m.v. get a check outside. head to kensington where kevin lewis is now in the stormwatch7, mobiletrak7. what is going on, kevin? kevin: usually it seems like when we are about to go live that is when the rain starts coming down. in this case, no rain when we were live. we get back to mobiletrack. the rain is starting to fall again here. we are on the outer loop of the beltway right now. clearly traffic conditn.

but it is coming down. we will continue to monitor the situation. we do hear that there is heavy rainfall in and around college park now. so we will start heading in that direction. if we see any breaking weather news we will bring it to you. steve? steve: give you an update where kevin is located. here in kensington on the beltway here. he is heading around the beltway to college park. that is where the heaviest of the rain is slowly moving at this time. we head closer and the flash flood warning continues. addison heights to the district and arlington. if you're familiar where that neighborhood. heavy rain upward of two inches possible per hour. keep in mind that the cells are moving very, very slow. the cloud tops on this just around 20 to 30,000 feet. we have heard rumbles of thunder in the last hour in arlington. how much rain is falling? the rain ra

per hour. you get the point. it's not moving fast. but capable of producing heavy downpours. that will really slow it down for rush hour commute. the rain totals, upward to four inches to laurel and college park around two and a half inches. the jackpot zone, upward of four and a half already. we could add another two or three inches on top of that. we move through the overnight hours. a lot to get through over the next 12 hours. so everything you see to the west of us will advance east. two to three inches are isolated amounts, five or six not out of the question. the flash flooding will continue. there are gusty winds in the mix. it may lead to the power outages. have batteries in the flashlight later tonight when the sun goes down and it's dark out there. updated future cast. pay

timeline. the 8:00 showers across the area. by midnight notice orange and the reds will overspread north and west of us. then it will stay with us for a good three hours at least over the capital beltway. we are expecting the heaviest rain totals dead of night. clear it out heading to early tomorrow morning. tomorrow afternoon we may see a glimmer of sun. this is rehoboth beach, delaware. rain yet to start but it doesn't look good for weekend. the temperatures around 74 degrees. that is it tomorrow. then we see clearing on seasoned. keep you updated on the waves of the wet weather moving through. like i said the worst is still yet to come later tonight. alison: steve, thank you. coming up next at 4:00, residents in maryland waking up to this mess. the hunt for who launched a paintball attack in laurel

over the capital beltway. we gear up for a busy rush hour commute on this friday afternoon. we are looking at the heaviest rain north and east at 12 to 15 miles per hour. that is why it will take some time for it to gradually make the way north and east to chillum at 4:34. arriving in berwyn heightses and laurel in the next hour or so. capable of producing heavy rain. upward of two inches per hour. not out of the question. that is why we have flash flood warnings out there now. everything shaded in red including fairfax, arlington, alexandria, the district, prince george's county under flash flood warning. the rest of area in green. that would be a flash flood watch. likely to change to the warnings as wavers of the heavy rain -- waves of heavy rain move overhead in the next 12 to 18 hours. how much rain, we may s

time the whole system moves out. gusty wind later tonight. 20 to 30 miles per hour. here is our future cast for you. another version of it. 4:30 where we are now. heavier rain moving overhead inside the capital beltway. that is going to continue moving through the dinnertime hours. by midnight tonight, why strongly suggest you have plans that are to keep you out later and if you can get home by midnight, do that. the skies dark and the heavy rain and the roadways. it will be hard to see any localized flooding that could cause big problems moving through the overnight hours. the best news at all it will clear things out tomorrow morning. then through the midday hours. a big improvement on the way. with clearing along the mason dixon line and maybe sunshine on the way moving into the day on sunday. for tomorrow, the highs will only make it to around 75 degrees. we will head to dave lucas at the "live
