still 20% of classes had to be canceled. if the shut down continues, officials say more classes will be canceled. >> we have very talented military staff here as well. we were able to put plans in place by what we had military factory covering some of those classes, that's only sustainable for so long. >> many of the language classes have to be canceled during this shut down. >> the government shut down isn't shutting down your expenses. several area businesses that were stepping in to help out and we are happy to share the news. here is another one. free oil changes, tire reptations and inspections to furloughed federal workers. they will make the deal available to all the vehicles they service including hyundai, nissan, and toyota. >> we understand how tough it is. is. >> you didn't have to buy the car from them even.

the deal will continue until the government is back open for business. have you to bring in your federal id and the vehicle must be in your name. try telling karen to hold off because of the government shut down. that's not going to happen. fema had to bring back furloughed workers to prepare for the storm it's expected to reach hurricane strength by tomorrow. 86% of the staff was furloughed. no word on how many will be brought back to work >> all right. locally here the weather story has been more heat. normally this time of year on average we struggle to get to 70. today easily above 80 just about everywhere. still at 80 or above at baltimore. humidity still high and way higher than average and set to get more humid tomorrow. hazy sun today, tomorrow will probably we hazy as well. in the big picture, the main weather player is karen as she

continues to strengthen. a strong storm in the southern gulf. we will have more on her straight ahead. just know for the rest of the evening it'll be partly cloudy and hazy with a mild start in the morning. >> i will use the word shut down. the court in essex had to shut down because of a sewage leak. it was work being down onlines this weekend but no word on if that's to blame for the leak. police call it the cost of doing business. >> and it's apparently real big business with some officers making double their salary what the city is spending. >> reporter: crime doesn't stop when it's time to clock out and that means police in baltimore have a ton of overtime. the city police department said they spent 25 million in overtime last fiscal year. we found the total is actually much higher.

tonight at 11 we dig into overtime spending for the men and women who protect you in baltimore. some of them are making a chunk of chain bringing in tens of thousands of dollars. does all that work put safety at risk? we raise the question with city leaders and police we know that the police department is not the only place where the city spends a lot of overtime. we know that across the board different agencies also have this issue and we brought in mary pat clark. overtime it's a big concern. you are always looking to cut expensions. we are talking about millions across the board. how difficult is it to cut down on overtime? >> right now, in my district for example, i'm begging for overtime in my district northern, northeast because we have a lot of police officers are leaving the force and we

need more and more patrol in our neighborhoods to prevent crime. that is going to take overtime because we don't have enough people to go around i'm begging for it. >> it's a real balance. it's a balance of what you have to spend because you haveo answer to the taxpayers and also for safety. >> safety comes first. when it comes to the police department, right now, in baltimore, we eat the overtime. i certainly know that i do in my district just to get the police patrols and visibility into the neighborhoods, to prevent the crime that are happening. >> and this is overtime for the police department. that's where we are focusing on. >> of course. >> across the board all city departments, you see overtime based on what we analyze we see them in wastewater management making double. people in it, people in transportation, does it alarm you when you have people in the city making double their salary? what does that say about the need to fill positions?

>> it says we better get to training people to do the kinds of jobs that require overtime so that we can hire new people to pick up the slack. they come in at entry wage, they have been trained, they can do the work. what happens, for example in water waste -- again, i'm the one who says look, you may be -- your shift may be over but this water main break is not complete. that other crew is not here. please stay. that happens all the time. all over baltimore city and county where we also take care of the car, there are special jobs in a division like water wastewater that we have to few experts in. heavy machine operators, people licensed to drive heavy equipment. specialists. we don't have enough and they -- we need them for the

overtime. really, in that case what it gets down too is we need to hire new people who are experienced or trained by us to learn these jobs, get licensed and certified so we aren't spending the overtime. now when you are talking about other agencies where people are sitting behind a desk, a lot of -- again, what happens is that there are some people who can do certain, like revenue work and they are needed. other people just can't do it as well. so they get overtime we need their results, we need what they have to say. we need to look at the big picture which is, who is training? successors or partners in these jobs who can eventually pick up so that everybody is on a regular salary. >> and it's a concern

financially and of course as we are talking about for safety, that's one of the issues we will address tonight in our investigation at 11. stick with us for more on police overtime. thank you. >> thank you. >> a lot more to this story. she will join us tonight ono abc 2news to break it down for us. remember abc 2news is on tonight at 11. that story after the season premiere of scandal. >> that's a great story. she is a senior in high school >> how morgan's coach made adjustments because of her skills. . >> and remember to get that flu shot even if it's 85 and sunny. . >> sure it has. it doesn't feel like it yet. 83 at pwi, 12 degrees above average. 85 the two degree guarantee.

see what it would be like and the first time i put her up she had five goals in one game. >> reporter: a great coach letting his player succeed. >> never had a player who was that potent at putting the ball in the net. >> i'm seeing a pretty heavy course load this year. i'm taking five ap classes and then my one elective. >> reporter: she has her plans made. >> i plan to go to carneige hall university. >> reporter: straight a's, straight to the goal and a coach who says she should be and is the belaire honda athlete of the week. >> she is good. ill tell you. do you know an amazing athlete? you can tweet me. >> all right. health alert. we have the first confirmed case the seasonal flu this year. personal was in the hospital

with the news. now they are recovering. it's a good reminder of the importance of get that vaccine. everybody under the age of six months is encouraged to get it. if you believe you have the flu, health officials say to stay at home. get some rest and call your doctor. >> we have heard all the warnings, medications don't work for most sore throats and over using them can make them less effective. researchers say doctors are still over prescribing them. doctors were the academy of family doctors say they only treat infections caused by bacteria, not ones by viruses, many times patients demand the drugs and doctors have to decide how to deal with that. they point out that some over- the-counter cough medications can help with bronchitis. would you think of eating a breakfast with 900 galleries? some women are being told that can help them get pregnant. they can have problem was

humidity up. more summer like into friday and saturday. 84 tomorrow afternoon on a southwest wind. bay water temperatures still warm at 71 at thomas point. temperatures across the state at the monta round 80 degrees. little cooler in ocean city. 72 there at the ocean city airport. dew point numbers will climb tomorrow. it's muggier than normal for this time of year. we get almost summer like humidity in here as we go into the friday afternoon time. friday evening plans look great. should be rain free but dress like it's a summer evening. future temperatures in to the morning. tomorrow into the mid60s. i think a little more sun should breakthrough the haze tomorrow and by the way even warmer saturday. we go mid, even a few upper 80s on the map as you go toward dc and uthern maryland. we peak the heat into saturday. a couple of showers, knocking on the door of western maryland. into ohio, they will diminish past sunset.

all the active weather set to stay to the west. high pressure continues to set just south of maryland. it's shifted further off shore. that southerly humid wind will continue to increase tomorrow here in maryland, the high just a little further east. the stalled front to the north could focus showers over pennsylvania but i think they will stay north of maryland. most of the area looks dry most of the day tomorrow. you see a few showers over pennsylvania tomorrow afternoon. then they diminish. then our attention turns south and west. frontal boundary just starting to develop by late saturday and then a great amount of moisture starting to come up that front into late sunday and monday. there it is tropical storm karen looking more and more impressive, cycling right now and the track of karen ultimately will come on shore as a strong storm. maybe a weak category hurricane toward the gulf coast on saturday afternoon. then the moisture running up the coast, getting into

maryland by monday afternoon. we get the weekend with just a little time to spare. tonight 60, tomorrow up -- around 84 for your two degree guarantee. i think some cloud cover. next couple of days we will warm up, sunday looks dry but then by early monday morning we could be looking at rain and even more rain into the day on tuesday as karen combines with that front and changes the weather pattern. we will be back with more after this. you, uh, here for the interview? yeah... is that...? it is!
