him. the search did not turn up exsploe explosiv explosives. >> attorneys for the three men say they have cooperated with the fbi and they are not terrorists. federal officials believe the investigation derailed one of the most significant terror plotsince 9/11. new today a sobering warning from the top u.s. commander in afghanistan. his message? we need to do more. send more troop in the next year or the u.s. will probably lose the war. the warning comes from a confidential report written by general substantialtanley mccry. despite reluctant from some democratic leaders, president obama said he will not make a decision until he has absolute

voters that say they will definitely cast their ballots in november. he led by 15 points last month. and deeds made up ground by winning over voters in northern virginia and getting more support from women. new york governor david patterson says he is running for re-electi re-election. this is despite the democrats asking for him to drop out of the race. patterson became governor after eliot spitzer stepped down. and some democrats fear that patterson cannot win next year and could drag down other democrats. and a highway near baltimore will remain closed for a couple more weeks after a water main break. part of the highway was washed away. 100 homes were completely flooded and hundreds more lost

power. 70 of the houses have been deemed uninhabitable. what a mess. >> yeah, and that gives you some indication of how much water we use on a daily basis. here we have not had any water falling from the sky. wonderful weather over the weekend. it continues here on this monday. lots of sunshine around at this hour, but off to the west, the live view from the sky watcher camera, we are seeing increasing clouds coming in from a weather system.y one more really very pleasant day, and these are the final hours of the astronomical summer. still time to get to the beach. the water is sugh for swimming. the clouds are beginning to build over the washington skyline. right now at reagan national, it's 70 degrees. 11 of the last 14 days have been

great for all the high school and college football games. and then there is a slight chance of a shower, and highs in the 70s. >> the warm days and the cool nights, the leaves are going to start changing soon. any idea of what kind of color we will get this year? >> the first -- it all depends on the first par of the turnover will depend on how much moisture we have in the ground for those trees, so we swril to keep an eye on it. there is enough moisture around now. we could have a colorful autumn. >> a lot of raking soon. >> yeah, and the best time of year. thank you very much. let's go to steve and the news4 traffic network. >> more trees actually than cars on the road near the toll road on 28. keep in mind there is a work zone in the dulles airport les

as you head eastbound away from the airport. it's blocking one of the airport lanes heading inbound. could slow you down briefly. and then the bottom of the map, you will see cones. they are doing roadwork on the inner loop of the beltway toward alexandria. the through lanes are a better bet for you now. and the traffic over there, it's not too bad. traffic near 210 to get to the bridge. once you are on the bridge, as you can see, it looks good. back to you. checking sports this midday, the redskins heard from fans at yesterday's home opener. and the team's seeming inability to reach the ends zone. some of the players after the game echoed those sentiments. players had two different ways of looking at the wind though. >> the redskins continue to live dangerously. two points or 12 points or 20 points, it's still a w.

the relief in the locker room still outweighed the frustration of not being able to find the end zone. >> we will have to score points to win football games. it's tough. i thought everybody was frustrated on our sideline, and it's something that we are going to have to continue to address. >> yeah, we won. but we won in such a ugly fashion, you don't even take pride in that win. this is a great team. hats off to them, and everybody knows that. this was not the same team we saw last week on film. but at the same time, when you play the way we played and give an opportunity to the team back in the game -- >> yeah, and to run for 300 yards and pass for 600 yards and win by 50, but we moved the ball effectively, we just did not produce any red zone. and a win is a win. i am going to take this one and be happy with it. >> there is different opinions in the lock room. a win is a win mentality or we

would have liked to win this more demonstratively. >> i fall in the category, we came out and got a w. we will do better tomorrow. i fall in the category, we can get it corrected. >> the good news, it does get easier. the reds skins on the road in detroit taking on the lions team that lost its last 19 games dating back to 2007. that will do it from fedex field. sending it back to you. here is a wobbling hook for them to hang their hats on. this is the first time since 2005 they scored fewer than 10 points and won. this weekends's redskins' game was the first time the fans had to deal with new rules at the stadium. tailgaters are now restricted as to where they can set up their tailgating parties. no matter when they get there. those that need more than one spot to use are shuttled to the

back of the parking lot. d this frustrated some, because they used to come to the stadium early in the morning just to get a good spot. >> we have a longer walk. >> we have had the same spot for ten years. ten years! all of a sudden they change the parking on us. >> some of the parties are like block parties. the new rules are also to ease traffic congestion in those parking lots. >> pretty frustrating for them. >> yep. >> when you think golf, you think tiger and not fox. a colorado man caught a thief swiping golf balls from his putting green. he grabbed a camera and here is what he caught. he was expected to catch kids in the act, but it was a hairless fox. he takes one ball and comes back for another ball. sometimes it tries to grabwo balls at a time. so far it has taken a total of 80 balls from the makeshift

green. wildlife experts think this fox is just collecting balls to pass the time. >> and he probably has a set of clubs over there in the corner, and is taking shots when the owner is not looking. >> pretty sly guy. but no hair. >> and he learned he could not put two balls in his mouth at one time. >> they are pretty smart. >> i guess they are pretty smart. still ahead on "news4 midday," concerns from nurse around the country trying to avoid a flu outbreak before the h1n1 vaccine is available. and then we will take a look at some of the big winners. and then first a look at what is hot on nbcwashington.comes.
