about what's left across the area, zoom in and ee the most areas around the beltway, pretty quiet. looking down to the south and east now, around clinton area and northern charles county and through southern prince george's county. that's where some of the heaviest cells are left. but no severe thunderstorm warnings. let's talk about the damage. bob? >> well, we have had, veronica, the thing that has been unusual about this line, it has been moving through so fast but the tops -- the depth usually when we see thunderstorms, they can be up to 30,000, 40,000 feet on doppler. we are seeing tops only about 10,000 feet but with still a lot of spin in the atmosphere. that was the reason for the tornado warnings. fortunately, no reports of any tornadoes but there have been strong winds, winds gusted to 75 miles an hour, montgomery county, also around clarksburg and late damage reports, homes and a barn damaged in new market and frederick county. and also, in carroll county,

there has been damage. and this is clarksburg. look at the wind gust there. 60 miles an hour. wind gusts in clarksburg from some of the networks. also, in the eastern shore, there have been strong winds there. those storms are now heading over towards the eastern ore. there you can siever only can a has been here on top of things since early this morning. the extent still of that watch but looks like, i think, this is probably the batch that's coming through now. heading into prince george's county. not anyightning with these storms. that's the other feature because they are so shallow but still are moving very rapidly with a lot of spin. >> the heavy rain earlier today, i believe we have that tape out northwest d.c. because the neighborhoods there, you can see some of the winds picking up a bit. again, hour and a half to two hours ago. lot of locations seeing as much as a half to three-quarters of an inch of rain. this, again, out od.c. what'st d.c. what's left for the evening, still what we could have some pockets throughout this area.

throughout our viewing area. get something moderate, perhaps even heavy rain. that's what's going to be coming in much later now. probably after 6:00, 7:00 p.m., taking us through portions of the overnight period. which should be over with by morning. that's some of the cells, some of the moisture that's still sitting down south over southern areas of virginia, moving through. 9:00 and 11:00, thunderstorms. severe weather. 71 early tomorrow morning. we are going to start with inform. so really think that the severe weather really over with, at least the worst of it. hot, humid weekend. we will talk about the possibility of a little bit more thunder coming our way this weekend. jim? >> all right, veronica, thank you. coress is racing to fix a problem. a program said to be so successful that it is running out of money. the government's cash for clunkers program is credited with helping to sell 200,000 vehicles in less than a week. now the government's scrambling

if it were tru probably not in her name and papers not in her name yet. unless have you her on speed dial there is no way to confirm. finally, we dissected this and raised the question a day later. "people" magazine which is one of the places that talks to kate gosselin all the time. they had a source tell them no way is she moving that far from her kids. her kids are up in pennsylvania. so it is not true. radar online later retracted and said she changed her mind. point being don't go looking for kate gosselin around here. i don't think it will happen. >> so we won't be watching for her. >> no. don't. >> a lot of folks are watching the cast of "the real world d.c.," what's the latest with them? >> the reality tv series has been around almost 20 years now. typically the cast members, these are some kind of contrived group project to keep them busy when they are doing the series. this time they are letting them get real jobs, just like in the real world. and we know that one of them is interning for the washington blade.

the severe thunderstorm watch remains until 9:00 p.m. but thinking national weather service may take this down early. let's pan around the area because -- because down the water, near oxon hill area and national reagan airport, a weather watcher or viewer that called in and said that the thought they possibly saw a water spout. so, you know, this is one of those days with lots of spin in the atmosphere again. lots of spin, lots of change in wind direction with height but this has been a lot of low-level stuff. didn't see a lot of lightning with it when it raced through, 35 to 45 miles per hour. this line that's now mainly east of the area. let's go ahead and zoom on in, right around the beltway. 495. you can see a lot of the activity just some showers with some imbedded moderate rains left around clinton and wall door much area, further down to the south. we do not have any more severe thunderstorm warnings or tornado warnings in effect. you n see around the stafford

overcookedburger and it will be dry. neither of which we are looking for. i think, also, people have a tendency to over or underdress the burger. one of the thingse stress is to certainly get the right proportion of things on the burger. if you only want ketchup that's fine. be cognizant and put the right amount on there so you don't have ketchup dripping all over the place or be aware of what you are doing and why you are doing it which is true, cookation cross the board. certainly home cooked to burgers. >> we saw the tomatoes, lettuce, everything. you get from area farmers markets and that's som khing that everydy hbocatome sn do on ththr has become a om rmisth basereom's a rmer's >> absolutely. omi , me >> absolutely. i lucky t we e acklu t at this du seheng, ,ason ring the season, summer, we ge%95t o of the time of the produce we use at the restaurants from local farmer's markets. an ammish cooperative we work with, blueberry hill farms, foggy bottomarket we go to on

veronica johnson in storm center 4. you are looking at a roof out of carroll county. it was ripped off from today's storm. this line blowing through here between 2:00 and 4:00 p.m. and pretty large area of the roof that was ripped off.

we already know that the ijamsville area up through frederick county there with some extensive damage and a lot of trees down in that location. those were the areas earlier today as the thunderstorms came through. wind gusts up to 70 to 75 miles per hour. so a lot of damage in that area further north there. there's some of the video out finksburg, maryland, with our chopper. also some damage reports around montgomery county with the wind gusts up to 60 miles per hour. this was just north and west of the clarksburg, maryland, area. carroll county, nine large hard wood trees down and, of course, the other damage that we mentioned earlier out of ijamsville. loudoun county reporting one-inch hail in the lucketts area. today we were up to 90 degrees. now much, much cooler. still quite a bit of humidity and moisture out there. so what's left here for the overnight period, i think, more

showers will be around. there could be isolated thunder. i think a very lower risk of seeing severe cells around. there's that line, d.c., moving through charles county. that's about it. then we will see a few more filling in a little later. again, just some generally showers with isolated thunder. nothing severe. fog starting the day tomorrow. and meanwhile, we will see a high tomorrow of around 88 to 90 degrees with storms mainly west of the area. pat? >> thanks, veronica. in news 4 your health, migraine sufferers may want to visit the plastic surgeon. doctors at two land medical universities successfully used botox to relieve my rain pain by applying botox directly to the nerves consideredeadache trigger points. the only problem is botox wears off. the same study surgeons went in and removed those muscles that was a permanent fix. 83% of the patients who got the surgery say that they had fewer migraines. researchers in the uk say the anti-viral drug tamiflu is
