things of that nature. >> reporter: the dry, windy swl to blame for an 18-acre fire. up to 100 firefighters battled the five-alarm blaze that tloed the evacuation of 60 nearby homes in the joppa town area. residents were allowed to return after the all-clear was given three hours later. in bowie, a family's easter cookout turned into a nightmare when the grill ignited a tree near the family's home. >> they were grilling out in the driveway. with these dry conditions, the heat transferred over to that cypress tree, went up very quickly. extended into the roof of the garage to the house and eventually into the house causing anywhere between 50,0$50 and $100,000 in damage and displacing the family. >> reporter: those windy, dry conditions are being felt in virginia as well. in warren county, a controlled burn went out of control burning three acres before firefighters brought it under control.

reporting live in college park, i'm jane watrel, news 4. >> well, storm 4 meteorologist chuck bell joins us with an update on that red flag warning that most of our area is under. >> no doubt about it, chris. you can see on our map all the highlighted counties here are the red flag warning counties. that's pretty much all of the metropolitan washington area out to the shenandoah valley into pennsylvania and out into the eastern shore as well. high fire danger. no rain anywhere on storm 4 radar right now. it's a very mild sunday night in progress. so more breezy weather ahead for at least tomorrow and tuesday. some needed showers coming our way, at least for most of us. and it may actually feel more like march than april this week. i'll talk about that and show you the seven-day forecast coming up in a few more minutes. >> okay, chuck. see you then. a family in prince william county says their neighbor is a hero. he got them out of their burning house yesterday. this fire broke out down the

before the first shooting. referring to the two-year anniversary of his father's murder in tulsa. though it's unclear what it means, another entry posted friday says, in part, if something does happen tonight, be ready for another funeral later. police say the victims of the shooting spree did not know each other and while all were african-american, it's unclear what, if any, motivation there may have been. >> i've heard questions about hate crime. folks, this is where the really tough work starts in an investigation. it is very premature to talk about hate crimes. we have yet to analyze all the information. >> reporter: keshia harris rushed to the aid of one of the wounded. >> it was really calm in disbelief. they couldn't believe they got shot. just happened out of nowhere. >> that was charles hadlock reporting. court records show that alvin watts was charged for assault and battery in 2009, but that those charges were dropped.

. a massive gasoline fire on a california highway gave the appearance that the road stefl was on fire. it happened overnight when a car slammed into the back of a gas tanker truck. the truck hit a guardrail and overturned. was carrying 9,000 gallons of gas. it took two water-dropping helicopters and some 150 firefighters over an hour to put out the blaze. officials shut down two freeways but both have since reopened. there were no major injuries. the driver of the car that hit the truck was charged with driving while intoxicated. gas prices are rapidly rising across the country. the average for a gallon of regular is up to $3.93, and it's even higher locally. and you pay even more if you have a car that takes premium gas.

that has lots of drivers considering switching to regular to save money. but experts say there are a few things you should know before making the switch. first thing is to check your owner's manual. if your car says it requires high test gas, then you have to put it in. if it recommends it, then they say you can try regular. >> as long as your car does not ping, it doesn't start knocking under acceleration. that's the biggest difference between the different grades. >> experts say you may get poor gas mileage with a lower grade of gas so any savings at the pump could be lot of on the road. metro fares are still going up, but not as much as lots of riders thought. metro's ceo richard sarl says next year's operating budget will need about $16 million less than they originally anticipated, thanks in part to reductions in spending. and improved ridership outlook. that means the metro board will

and those who got up early were not disappointed. they witnessed a spectacular sunrise. across town, thousands filled the washington national cathedral to capacity for easter services. and the first family walked from the white house through lafayette park to easter services at st. john's episcopal church. and the obamas are gearing up for a yearly tradition. strm the annual white house easter egg roll. this year's special guests will include julianne moore and forrest whitaker along with olympians dominique dawes and michelle kwan. d.c.'s blue high school band will perform. more than 35,000 people are expected to attend. this is the 134th white house easter egg roll. it started back when rutherford b. hayes was president. it's a great time. kids love it. what kind of day are they going to get? >> good day tomorrow. will not be raining. any rain chances tomorrow look like they'll be holding off until much later in the day.

that's welcomed news. the one thing they will have to deal with a little bit anyway, is a breeze. fairly stiff wind again for tomorrow afternoon. i don't think it's going to blow the easter eggs around. some of the kid maze has may ha bonnets displaced. look at the money shot thoef north side of the white house. just an absolutely beautiful picture. they've already turned the lights out at the white house for the night. we're sneaking in a late night picture here. looks a lot better when it's not all bathed in the bright lights out there and the american flag, old glory flapping proudly on top of the roof there. still brightly illuminated. they keep the flag lit. that's a good thing. from our city camera view. there's the national cathedral right there up at the intersection of massachusetts and wisconsin avenues. not too far from right here at the friendly peacock. 60 degrees, at 11:00 at night down at national airport. the northwesterly wind still averaging 10 miles per hour. and those winds out of the west and northwest again tomorrow. but more in the 15 to

25-mile-per-hour range. it will be a fairly stiff breeze tomorrow. temperatures right now mid to upper 50s north and west. upper 50s to near 60 around town still. and still low 60s across parts of central virginia. it's going to be a mild night. off to a mild start tomorrow morning. upper 40s and low 50s first thing in the morning. just a couple of clouds around. plenty of sunshine nearly the day. clouds come in later on in the afternoon. breezy for sure. i think any rain chances hold off until late in the afternoon and into the evening time frame. here it is on storm 4 radar. nothing to worry about tonight. dry tonight and dry for your work and school commute in the morning. this area of low pressure over the canadian maritimes, that's going to move southwestbound and that's going to keep a pockest cold air aloft. that's an important part of our forecast because the cold pocket of air put a little sunshine into the mix. we'll bubble up some clouds tomorrow and a chance for showers as well. so not too chilly to get your day started. breezy for sure.

monday morning sunshine. but monday afternoon clouds, maybe a few passing showers through here late tomorrow afternoon. here we are at midnight tomorrow night. then dry tomorrow night into early tuesday. but then another little trough of low pressure with that cold pocket coming back in. could bring a few showers just to our north on tuesday. and another better chance for some showers right here where we need them. get some of the pollen out of the air coming up on wednesday. most of the upcoming week looks cooler than average. overnight, partly cloudy. not as chilly in town or bayside. overnight temperatures mostly in the 40s. one or two spots might reach down below 40. then for tomorrow, highs in the mid to upper 60s with morning sunshine and afternoon clouds. and a chance for some showers in here late in the day tomorrow. plenty of clouds tuesday with maybe a spritz or two of rain. better chances of rain on wednesday and then dry it out, staying cool through at least thursday. highs in the 50s, tuesday, wednesday, thursday. back into the 60s friday and early next week, sunny, warm and dry. >> that is good news.
