the afternoon and evening with deep moisture moving in from the south. i'm expecting the metro capable of seeing between 0.5" to 1" of rain throughout the day and night with eastern iowa likely seeing between 1" and 2" of rain throughout several places. we are going to dry out as we keep moving the evening, but one or two left over showers may still be falling early wednesday morning in far eastern iowa. highs today are only going to be in the mid 50s with lows tonight falling into the mid 40s. temps will stay parked firmly in the 50s through the week and into saturday, but we do have a nice treat in the forecast with highs sunday back into the 60s and possibly a 70 early next week! right now trick or treaters may sneak away with a dry night if you go out early enough, but i do have a rain chance friday night into saturday morning, so keep watching for our changing forecast!

good news for those wanting to travel to d-c. the quad city international offering direct flights to our nation's capital. after a decade- long lobbying effort of local businesses and the government, united airlines was finally convinced to provide a three- year agreement. according to east moline mayor john thodos, the airport "has a military application, but it has a great market for the traveler too." sabrina/1shot the quad cities chamber of commerce said the new airport will also help to serve the rock island arsenal and local businesses, in addition to attracting individual travelers. sabrina and from the nation's capital-- bipartisan congressional leaders and the white house reportedly struck a major budget deal last night.... the plan would raise the debt ceiling and lift domestic and defense budget caps. lawmakers could vote on it as early as wednesday... if passed it would avoid a possible debt default and reduce the chances of a government

shutdown. abc's lana zak has the latest from washington-- " boehner sot having listened to our members and american people we have a budget agreement..... announcing the agreement today, outgoing speaker john boehner. this was a good deal for the troops, the american taxpayers..... the compromise significant: for the first time in a long time, republicans and democrats in washington came together in bipartisan support of a budget agreement without the threat of a credit default or government shut down just hours away. over 2 years the deal will raise spending by $80 billion--that's a 1% increase in the federal budget. cuts will come from other programs such as medicare and social security disability. democrats say it will protect essential social programs. house democratic leader nancy pelosi said in a statement "together, we have found a way forward for the american people." and for boehner, the deal delivers on a pledge made to give incoming republican speaker paul ryan a fresh start. i said i wanted to clean the barn, i didn't want him to walk into a dirty barn full of you- know-what. now the threat of both a government shutdown and a government default are off the table until after president obama leaves the oval office in 2017. sot there will be some

folks who don't like a bipartisan agreement announcing this agreement is a swan song for embattled speaker john boehner, who struggled for years with members of his own party. i like that i see a light at the end of the tunnel. today he is being celebrated. i think history will be kind to this man. ...and i want to thank the speaker for his service. new tag: while there will certainly be members of both parties that critique the deal, house democratic leader nancy pelosi weighed in for the democrats with her support, saying, "together, we have found a way forward for the american people. lz abcn, w time/initial:" sabrina: coming up on local 5 news midday... a superstore chain wants in on the drone business. we'll explain. sabrina: and... how far would you go to test your greatest fear? you won't believe how far

some people went -- all on live t-v!. sabrina: but next -- we're talking the biggest lottery scandal of it's kind. and giving you behind the scenes for a look at how it all might have happened. stick with us.

"you're wathcing local 5 news midday in hd with sabrina ahmed and we are iowas most accurate forecast. this is local 5 midday. we are iowa" sabrina: for the first time since the multi million dollar scam that fascinated iowans, local 5 news takes you inside the lottery to show what's changed since the biggest scandal to ever rock the lottery. sabrina: eddie tipton is a name not many people knew until he was caught rigging the lottery system to collect the jackpot. he was an ordinary guy with a very sensitive job -- protecting the

integrity of the instead, he tried to fix the system to benefit 14-million dollar payday. but could the same thing happen in the future? local five's jack miller takes us inside the iowa lottery... nats -- "it's time for your powerball drawing!" (from oct. 21 drawing) lights, camera, action and -- the most important part -- hundreds of millions of dollars. (nats) it's what keeps so many americans buying tickets week after week. the dream of instant financial freedom. that dream was shared by this man, eddie tipton. the problem is, tipton worked for the multi state lottery association. it runs many drawings nationwide, including the grandaddy of them all -- powerball. (nats of powerball drawing) but behind the action, tipton worked as a security director for the organization, and is known to most iowans through this video. that's him buying a winning 14 million dollar hot lotto ticket at a des moines quik trip in 2010. he already knew the ticket was a winner because he'd already hacked his company's computers. clip 2155 36:55 well this, hands down, was a breach of trust. 36:57 it was an employee who was hired by a vendor organization who took advantage of a secure key that he had to try to perpetrate fraud on the iowa lottery. 37:06

as ceo of the iowa lottery, terry rich's priority is to hold up the integrity of the games in the wake of the tipton case. he makes it clear that tipton was not an iowa lottery employee but rather a vendor. and -- 36:14 it's important to note that in iowa, we never paid. we knew it was a mystery from the beginning, and we never paid. 36:20 the iowa lottery is very careful about who it pays.. like these legitimate winners. that was ultimately tipton's mistake. he tried to get a friend and then an investment firm to collect the winnings. but that wasn't flying at the iowa lottery. clip 2162 49:31 part of our process is to make sure the person coming in to claim the prize is the person who bought the ticket to begin with. 49:36 that custody of the product. 49:39 as v.p. of system operations, hale strasser knows the lottery is a huge target. there's just too much money involved for scammers to ever go away. he says security evolves every day, because the bad guys keep trying different methods. 43:46 you can never rest on your laurels and go 'hey, we're secure. we're good to go. firewall's patched, we're done' and put your feet up. you cannot do that. 43:53 even if eddie tipton's overall strategy of

winning millions failed, his tactic of numbers at the multi state lottery association worked. (nats of jack) local 5 was given exclusive access to its facility in urbandale. it's understated by design. this acronym is the only signage anywhere. once inside, we were led to the place where the action happens, where lottery numbers for dozens of states are drawn. it's surprisingly simple. a small plexiglass enclosed booth where three people systematically produce numbers for a nation of lottery hopefuls. clip 7870 48:16 most lottery numbers are drawn by computers. random number generators, or rngs as they're called. you might not believe it, but these two ordinary looking little black boxes right here are the rngs that draw many of the winning lottery numbers across the u.s. 48:33 the rng's that eddie tipton manipulated have been replaced, as have some security procedures. there are a lot more cameras and than before, double locks and computer chip encoded zip ties on all equipment. (clip7848 locks and zip ties) every process is cross checked by more than one person. 20:41 each of us have a

and there are only four of us that have that. 20:47 the computers in here are not connected to can't be accessed remotely. it's the ultimate influence. but eddie tipton was on nearly a year before the rng was ever happened after his claim the money. eddie tipton was a first rate geek, but a very poor criminal. 38:48 you know, a lot of observers have said that if he just didn't try to claim it himself, away with that. is that true or not true? there's been a lot of speculation. and i learned very early on that if i speculated on what might happen publicly, i was wrong. and so we try to only deal with facts." 39:11 they're focusing on how tipton was caught, and on the future. because lottery leaders know, now more than ever, they have to prove their security to customers every day. 34:38 it's an optional purchase, they don't have to buy one. they have to think that it's fair, that it's secure and that they can win. 34:44

there are more charges possibly ahead for tipton....who was convicted of fraud in iowa... that's because two people he knows cashed out lottery wins in wisconsin and tipton is currently out on bond. sabrina we're back with sam now... sam i'll have your full forecast
