back. but it would bring us comfort if we can help spare other mothers the pain that we will feel on mother's day. and every day for the rest of our lives. >> the ad was made by second chance. a campaign aimed at changing dangerous gun laws around the country. fulton asked people to contact their governors. george zimmerman originally was released by police because he claimed self-defense in the shooting under florida stand your ground law. he is now charged with second degree murder. the head of jp mohr dan chase apologizes for risky chance that lost the company $2 billion. he says the move was quote, grievous and self-inflicted. dimon is regarded as one of the most sound in the financial industry. dimon will talk about the $2

billion loss tomorrow with david gregory on "meet the press." the $2 billion loss caused jpmorgan chase to take a big hit on the market. its stock fell 2% on the week. the dow fell 34 points yesterday but 83% of the dow's drop was because of jpmorgan chase. the bank's market value lost $14 billion the most in a single day in at least 28 years. it's a bad sign. signs marking a street named for one of the founding families of fairfax may not be spelled right. but fixing the possible mistake isn't as simple as remaking the signs? >> reporter: the name game is playing out on sager avenue. there are several street signs and address markers all nearly identical. the road name spelled out s-a-g-e-r. that's how residents spelled it

for decades. >> that's the way it is right there. >> reporter: but officials may need to make a spell check. >> i never heard of that until you told me about it at this moment. >> reporter: it comes down to one moment. that e. >> my name is william sagar. >> reporter: william sagar says his ancestors are a.j. and anna sagar. the couple pictured at the fairfax museum and visitor center. the two are buried at flint hills cemetery. notice the spelling on their gravestone, s-a-g-a-r, no e. but the name is not only that way in stone, it's in black and white. in this document from the virginia general say semibly and in the 1870s, the fairfax times appointed a.j. sagar was appointed a judge. they want the city to correct the signs. >> i hope for history's sake that they consider it. >> reporter: the fairfax museum is in the original fairfax

elementary school house. that property was donated by the sagar family, but the museum spells sagar like the signs, s-a-g-e-r. the proper spelling may be difficult because way back centuries ago while the record keepers may have been good, they may not have always been the best spellers. >> the lack of consistent written records and you go on phonetic spellings. i could see how it would happen. >> reporter: the city has not decided what the proper spelling is yet. but some of those on the avenue is taking the name dispute in stride. >> i'll just change my address labels. >> fairfax officials aren't sure how much it would cost to replace the signs. it will be up to the city council to make a final decision. knowing just how much protection you're getting from the sun rays may be a little confusing this summer. the fda is giving sun screen

makers until december to relabel their bottles to show just how much protection a lotion gives. the fda ordered the changes last summer and new bottles were supposed to be on the shelves next month. in the future, lotions that protect against both uva and uvb rays will be labeled broad spectrum. uva rays are linked to skin cancer and for now look for zinc and titanium. >> and it's the time of the year to pick up the sun screen. >> it may be a good day at the beaches. let's go to chuck. >> a little bit of chill left inside the water. if you're just going outside to enjoy the sun good news in the

front royal and toms brook has made it into the 60s. getting close to 70 in charlotte hall, maryland. for today all sunshine through this morning. and i think really for most of the day. sunny and warm today. temperatures well into the upper 70s. a lot of spots may touch 80 degrees for highs today. no threat for rain on saturday. nearest rain drops to us are across parts of tennessee and georgia. but these are drying up as they come through. the air mass in place is really dry. as these first round of rain drops try to come in, i think they're going to evaporate. those will not all evaporate here. those will be our next chance of rain here that rolls in as we get into monday and tuesday of the upcoming week. so high pressure has led to a great start to your weekend. a veil of thin clouds drifting in overnight tonight. here we are at 9:00, a mild

night with a cirrus deck coming on in. by tomorrow, by noontime on your mother's day still dry around here. and i think plenty of sunshine in the front half of your day tomorrow. further down to the south and west. later on into the day, i think there will be a chance especially west of the blue ridge into the mountains of west virginia, have a chance for a shower there. in and around town tomorrow, i don't think we have anything to worry about. rain looking more and more likely into monday and tuesday. here's the forecast for today. beautiful, bright, and sunny and delightful today. highs near 80 degrees. for tomorrow, mother's day, a lot of sunshine early on. taking mom out to brunch tomorrow after sunday services. good weather for that. a few clouds tomorrow afternoon. and there's a chance of a couple showers late in the day probably not until after the sun goes down and primarily out west of the d.c. metro area. with all that in mind, here's the important forecast. 79 today with full sun. and a small chance of a shower

there. monday and tuesday looks like it will be the best chan for rain all week. as we head into the end of the week and into next weekend, looks like we'll stay dry as well. i'll be tweeting about the weather all day. you can join in and i'll answer questions and tweet back out specific forecasts. good race weather in darlington, south carolina today. someone was asking. >> i've covered some races in darlington when i worked that way, and mike tells me you promised him beautiful weather for darnstown day. >> if that's today, 100% chance of good weather. and tonight either winter continues or summer starts for the capitals. rangers take on the capitals tonight in a winner take up a game seven. capitals had a 2-1 win wednesday. and braden holtby is even me excited now. he became a dad.

benjamin hunter holtby was born. he 22-year-old says it's an exciting time but he is focused on the win. >> it's a great day. mom and baby are doing great, but now the focus is on hockey. circumstance is different, but it's still is the same game. still hockey. the main thing you learn when you turn professional is separate personal life from hockey. that's what we're going to do here. >> tonight's winner goes on to play the new jersey devils in the eastern conference final. you can catch the game on the nbc sports network. the puck drops at 7:30. so far this season, the nationals have been a streaky team, but it appears their offense is heating up along with those temperatures. >> that time desmond was not running. bernadina goes right center. see you later. >> it's out of here. roger bernadina helped washington's cause hitting a two-run home run and an rbi single in the first two innings.

that was all gonzalez needed. washington's lefty went five innings while striking out nine. they win 7-3. these two teams are back at it tonight in cincinnati. bryce harper went hitless last night but he was the big story for another reason. harper needed ten stitches for this ugly looking gash over his left eye. apparently in frustration, the 19-year-old swung a bat at a wall, the barrel came back and struck him in the face. it's still unknown if he'll play today. they're calling him bam bam. a traffic alert for metro riders. you won't have to worry about station closures this weekend but still expect delays. trains will single track on the red line between tacoma and for or against clen and between van ness and dupont circle. and on the orange line between eastern market and cheverly. you can expect 20 minute delays

school. there's sort of a clatter and a -- as they go through. and they sort the recycling. they've also equipped the school with sort of urinals that don't use water. dry urinals. who knew? and the kids have some great suggestions in sunday's kids post for ways that all kids can get green. >> our kids call it being a planet pal. >> absolutely. >> next a program to help special needs children do something that for most kids they take for granted which is to ride a bike. >> in tuesday's kids post we look at a program called lose the training wheels which is remarkable. a couple weeks ago it was in fairfax county. it equips bikes for kids ages eight to 12 who have learning disabilities and have been able to ride a bike with training wheels but not been able to master without the training wheels.

in place over us, that's going to eat up all that first wave of rain drops as they try to come up the spine of the appalachian. the rain across arkansas and louisiana, that will have a chance to interfere with our forecast as we get into monday, tuesday time frame. for now high pressure, great start to the weekend. and 99% of us will be dry for 99% of the weekend. a few high clouds streaming in late tonight. sunshine will be dimming out during the course of your mother's someday. i think any real shower chances stay out to the west of washington then roll in. tomorrow will start with the sunshine. later on in the day. probably not until after sundown for most. then once we get the sun down, rain drops become far more

likely. rain looks a solid bet now on monday and tuesday. both could get an inch of rain across the area. we need it. we're five inches behind in rainfall for the year. this soaker will be what the doctor ordered and help get rid of the pollen. the grass pollens are starting to come in. follow me on twitte twitter @chuckbell4. >> at least most of the rain is going to wait to the work week when we like it sfp. >> no one cares if it rains on monday. >> thanks, chuck. the time right now is 10:19. it's one of the hottest events right here in washington. i'm talking literally. a preview of the award winning chili you can preview. and a real life prescription for love. the love potion some say is no joke. does your phone give you all day battery life ?
