and now, from washington's leading news station, this is "news4 midday." good morning and welcome to news midday, it's friday, may 25th, 2012. it appears the traffic in our area is going smoothly right now, on i-95 south, traffic is congested by still moving and on 50 east, the traffic is flying. well hundreds of thousands are expected to be behind the wheel today, one of the most popular places will be the beach. news4's megan mcgrath is live at the bay bridge, which is expected to be busy all day with traffic. megan, good morning. what's it looking like out there? things seem to be moving.

>> reporter: actually we're this good shape here at the bridge. i'll step out of the way, you can take a look for yourself here. that's the eastbound span here. you can see the traffic is heavy, but it is definitely moving. they've opened up the other span, the westbound span, to two-way traffic. so we now have three lanes that are actually traveling towards the beach, that's helped them keep up with the pace, the increase in volume here. how long they'll be able to keep up, that remains to be seen. it's a busy day and eventually we are expecting gridlock. >> you've got everything. >> reporter: with the necessities all packed, it's time to hit the highway and hundreds of thousands are heading to the beach. >> i just feel like you're supposed to go to the beach on memorial day weekend. especially to dewey, i've been there the last four years for memorial day and it's fun. >> reporter: katie welch topped off her gas tank and doctor with this fillup, she walks away with more money in her wall et.

>> it's a huge difference. more money to spend at the beach. >> reporter: gas prices are 20 cents below what they were this time last year and they're still falling. >> every week since easter, over seven weeks, we've had consistently down, down, down. >> reporter: while down is good when it comes to the cost of gasoline, there is one negative, the lower prices are inspiring more people to drive this holiday weekend, so the roads and bridges are expected to be packed. the key? travel during the off-peak hours. i. >> cannot stand traffic, i make sure to get up early and i think i missed most of the traffic. >> we leave at 6:00 a.m., any time afternoon is traffic is and you miss the whole day. >> reporter: now a lot of people work a half-day on this friday or their offices allow them to leave early. we're expecting things to pick up later on this afternoon. the rum of thumb here is if you get too late of start and you

don't want to stand in the gridlock traffic, then it's best to wait until after 10:00 tonight to try to cross the bay bridge. so you've got to kind of decide what's more important to you, sitting in the traffic and getting there sooner or having a more relaxed trip by waiting and leaving the house later. now with more on traffic, we're going to go to danella sealock. >> on i-95 it's looking slow already if you're making your way past lorton, when you start to see the volume pick up. i can tell you as you continue southbound getting closer and closer towards the occoquan, really jammed in that area. but you're moving, 35 miles per hour, 40 minutes to get from the beltway to quantico. as megan mentioned, looks good on route 50 eastbound, drive by and say hello to megan, you're nice and clear. a live look as you make your way past the bay bridge, back to you. >> say hello to megan. thank you. and taking a look outside right now, it seems like a great

day in the making. we see some blue out there, certainly a lot better than it was a couple of hours ago, tom, good morning. >> good morning, this morning around the region we had a lot of clouds, but over the last hour and a half, the cloud cover is beginning to break up, we've got great weather for the getaway, if you're about to hit the road. all around our region, sunshine is breaking out. on the eastern shore there's still clouds after you cross the bay bridge and head off towards easton and cambridge. but then sunny from there, farther east. salisbury over to ocean city and the atlantic beaches, down to chincoteague, beautiful with sunshine. and temperatures are beginning to climb now that the sun is breaking out. 77 at reagan national. we are hitting the mid and upper 70s throughout much of maryland, virginia and west virginia. they've had a lot of sun this morning, it's hitting upper 70s, low 80s in many locations. charlottesville up to 80. for the rest of the afternoon. a few clouds coming through.

warm and rather humid, we should be making it to the mid to upper 80s by the afternoon. feeling like summertime heading into the member yeorial day wee. we'll look at the beaches and the forecast heading back home next week, that's all coming up in a few minutes, barbara. >> thank you, tom. new today, the first-ever private supply ship is on its way to docking with the international space station. taking a live look now at the dragon x spacex dragon capsule, the iss has sent out a robotic arm to grab the capsule and bring it in for docking. the dragon has more than 1,000 pounds of food, clothing and supplies. it's scheduled to return to earth next thursday. eventually space x hopes to use the capsule to shuttle astronauts to the space lab. well, six months in prison, that's what one of mayor vincent gray's aides is facing for his role in scandal surrounding the mayor's 2010 campaign.

howard brooks pled guilty in court yesterday, he admits he paid suleiman brown a minor mayoral candidate, who claims gray's campaign paid him to attack then-mayor, adrian fenty. according to court documents, brooks and at least two others funneled money to brown. just as marian barry tried to move past one controversy, he might have to address another potential problem. barry met with leaders of the asian-american community to address disparaging comments he made last month. while discussing racial tejss inned u.s., he used a term for polish immigrants that's also considered offensive. the comment comes as barry pledged to be more careful in choosing his words. he says he wants to work with groups from all backgrounds to make ward 8 a model for diversity. well today republican senate hopefuls in virginia will debate for the last time before voters head to the polls, former governor george allen is considered the front-runner to

win the june 12th primary but he'll have to get past tea party leader, jamie rapke, minister ew jackson and bob marshall. allen is trying to win back the seat he lost to democrat jim webb six years ago and the gop winner will face former governor tim kaine. our time right now, seven minutes after 11:00, coming up, 33 years ago, hisdy appearance revolutionizeded search for missing children. today the man who accused of his death will appear in court. and six months after a florida mom went missing, the family says police are making progress. and suiting up for summer, the best swimwear for all body types. stay with us, we're coming right stay with us, we're coming right

new information this morning on the charity started by a former penn state football coach accused of sexual abuse. jerry sandusky founded the second mile, and once was a public face of that charity. the charity is now asking a judge to allow it to transfer programs and millions of dollars in assets to a texas-based youth ministry that serves abused and neglected children. the people running the second

mile say the charity has been financially crippled by the child sex abuse scandal. sandusky is charged with more than 50 counts of sexual abuse involving ten alleged cases with children. the man arrested in the killing of a 6-year-old who vanished decades ago is expected to make his first court appearance today. this comes 33 years to the day the boy disappeared in new york city. etan patz vanished while walking to his bus stop. new york police arrested 51-year-old pedro hernandez yesterday. police say hernandez admitted to luring the boy into a building, choking him and dumping his body in the trash. >> hernandez described to the detectives how he lured young etan from the school bus stop at west broadway and prince street. with the promise of a soda. >> and hernandez will be arraigned for second-degree murder today. patz was the first missing child to appear on a milk carton.

well lawyers on both sides of the trayvon martin case are asking the judge to keep some of the evidence private. the evidence includes cell phone messages from george zimmerman, phone records from martin and witness information. normally, that information is part of the public record under florida law. both sides say releasing this information would make it difficult to find an impartial jury for this case. they also want a chance to review all of the evidence before deciding what the public should be allowed to see. today, jurors in the john edwards trial enter their sixth day of deliberations and they don't appear to be close to a verdict. jurors asked to review all 500 plus pieces of evidence, including details of money given to edwards during his 2008 presidential campaign. legal experts say the fact that the jury has requested the evidence again means they aren't close to agreeing on a verdict. orlando police say they're making progress in a search for a missing mother of three. police have created a special

panel of 45 investigators to reexamine the evidence in michelle parker's disappearance. she's been missing since november 17th, the same day the episode of "the people's court" featuring her aired. parker and her ex-fiancé dale smith junior were on the show to settle a dispute over a $5,000 engagement ring. smith has been named as a prime suspect in her disappearance, but hasn't been charged. parker's mother and sister made a stop on the "today show," they say they hope smith is not responsible for parker's disappearance. >> since day one i have said that enter is if there is any other leads, that we'll follow them. unfortunately, there's just only one out there right now. but -- it would be very unfortunate to have those children grow up and be told one day that their mother disappeared because of their father. >> so far, orlando detectives have recovered michelle's phone and her car. but nothing else. well right now, hurricane

bud is closing in on mexico. the storm is expected to make landfall today and it weakened a bit overnight and is now a category 2 hurricane warning with winds up to 102 miles per hour. the storm could dump a foot of rain, causing flash flooding and landslides there. starting today, virginians can prepare for the upcoming hurricane season and save money at the same time. emergency items like batteries, flashlights and first aid kits that cost under $60 will be exempt from the state's 5% sales tax. gener generators that cost less than $1,000 are also exempt. the tax holiday lasts through next thursday. we'll have to ask tom if he thinks it's too soon to think about all that. i guess not, with bud out there churning. >> and for us, our concern is usually in early, mid september, late september, early october, our normal time of having any threats around our region. today after the morning clouds broke out, the sunshine is

beginning to heat us up. there's a partly cloudy sky over the potomac now, live view from our hd city camera everything is quite green from the rains we've had recently and it is rather humid, too. it's feeling like a summer-like morning. 77 at reagan national. dew point, a steamy 69, typical mid-summer humidity. a light breeze out of the south. we'll have the southerly flow with us through the rest of the day. over the last 12 hours, the wake of those overnight showers left some low clouds this morning. they're breaking up, still a little cloudiness on the eastern shore there from central delaware down to near cambridge, up towards east and still rather cloudy. but east of there, center ice and sunny from cape down to chincoteague, a beautiful day at the beach right now. lots of sunshine, heading to the mountains, it's beautiful, too. western maryland, much of the shenandoah valley, into west virginia, temperatures right now are climbing into the 80s already now up to morgantown,

west virginia, it's 80 degrees, where the clouds have been lingering, it's cooler, mid and upper 70s throughout much of northern virginia, much of maryland and around the bay. over the last 12 hours, we can see a close-up view of the satellite showing breaks in the clouds all around our region and we'll have that situation through the rest of the afternoon, just a few clouds coming through from time to time. weak area of high pressure off the atlantic seaboard is going to be pumping in rather humid conditions on that sourly and southeasterly flow. mid and upper 80s throughout much of the region. higher temperatures in virginia, low 80s by mid afternoon. tonight if you'll be heading out this evening, we'll have a partly cloudy mild evening. temperatures in the low 80s by sunset. which today is at 8:23. by midnight down to the low 70s and by dawn tomorrow, down into the 60s. and heading to the beaches? well the water temperatures are just in the mid 60s. that is chilly. and that's going to play a factor in the weather at the beaches this weekend. with an onshore flow.

examples with you and we want to take a look at some of those. the first one you say will help to minimize the hips and thighs, a lot of us need that. >> this suit is by karla coletta. called kaleidoscope. it's got the sheer mesh in the center and has the matching skirt. this is a great skirt for anyone who is a little bit large in the hip area or the thigh area zwlxt she doesn't have to worry about that. >> no. >> but there are a lot of us who do. that's great to have the skirt as well. then you can wear it when you're on the pool deck or in the sand and then just drop it. >> you can wear it even if you're going to the lunch in the cabana or you can also wear it in the pool, if you're a little bit more self-conscience. this suit is also nice if you're a little busty. because it has an underwire in it. >> that's very nice. all of her suits are made with underwires, which gives us a little bit added support. >> that's really gorgeous and great color and a beautiful

model wearing it. the next one you say features color-blocking, what will this suit do for snu. >> this is a beautiful suit by eres from france. eres has a unique way of creating their suit. there's absolutely no support in this suit. as you can see, it looks fabulous on her, but it will look fabulous on anybody regardless of your figure flaws. the color-blocking here is really nice, because the bottom part lets you minimizes your tummy or your hip area. where the black band right in the middle accentuates and gives you a smaller waistline appearance. the colors are fabulous. they look great on just about anybody. especially on cat with her red hair. >> so the color blocking will help to minimize parts of the body. does it sort of streamline because you're looking at the color? >> what it does is as you can see on this one, the bottom is a

little bit darker, so that will make your bottom look a little bit smaller. and it brings your attention up to the bust area. the aqua in the straps is also great because it then brings your attention up to the shoulders, what every woman really wants to do is maximize their positives. and minimize the negts so whatever you feel your figure flaws are, even if you have great shoulders or whatever, this -- >> will work. >> gorgeous, we've got a couple more we want to show, so let's move along and bring out our next one. tell us what this suit is good for. >> this suit is a tank eveni, if you're very long-torsoed. many many of us have just had baby or have put on a couple of pounds so this little skirted bottom is very nice, because it covers up the hill area. but yet, it's a little bit sexy. the top can be converted into a bando, so you don't have to worry about any line, tanning

lines. and what's nice about this is that you can buy this suit in a medium top and an extra small bottom if you need to. >> that will make a big difference for a lot of us, that's really great and it can cover the tummy if you've got one. which she hasn't got, thank you so much, that's just beautiful. tell us about the next suit that's coming up. >> the next suit, she's wearing a cover-up by island company. this is a great shirt, you can multitask with this shirt. it can go on top of a bathing suit or on top of a pair of jeans and can you can wear it out to dinner or for some lunch. underneath she's wearing a shoshanna suit, they come bust-sized, we carry suits up to g-cup, so that is good and again you can mix and match the bottom. >> i was going to ask you about that. so the size and the shoes are

just fantastic. in fact if we can bring all the models back out and we can have a quick peek at the shoes they're wearing, they won't go on the beach, but they'll go poolside restaurants, cabana as you were saying, great-looking shoes, fabulous idea and of course, we've got the flip-flops over here are always a good idea as well. flip-flops for the beach in all kinds of designs, thank you so much, silla, for bringing the models and showing us how to make ourselves look presentable on the beach. >> thank you for having me. >> you guys are great, thank you. >> coming up in the next half hour, a midnight mystery, where two wounded men showed up this morning at almost the same time. plus -- >> the preakness and triple crown, will be on the line. >> a threat to the crown? the serious charges a potential triple crown-winning trainer is facing. and tom kierein back with a look at the forecast. great weekend for those bathing suits.

>> reporter: fairfax county police spokesman say they're still trying to figure out exactly what they're dealing with here. now they know that they have two victims, stabbing victim and a gunshot victim. but they don't know exactly what led to this happening. now the gunshot victim showed up here at a fairfax county county courthouse just before midnight last night. police say he was transported there by a friend who was trying to help. he told police that his stabbing happened in chantilly. he is now being treated for nonlife-threatening injuries. then shortly after that, another victim shows up at the fair oaks hospital. but this man is suffering from a stab wound. he also told police that his stabbing happened in chantilly. but police say beyond that right now, neither one of the victims are being very cooperative, so they don't have a lot of information. but they do believe that these folks knew each other and that this may have resulted in some kind of an argument that happened at a chantilly bar. it's very strange where they both ended up. but because neither one of them

are being very cooperative at this point, police say they don't have a lot of information to go on. at this point, we have no suspect information and no information about possible arrests for either one of the victims in fairfax county, i'm tracee wilkins, news4. and elderly man is in the hospital after being burned in a kitchen fire. it happened just before 10:00 last night at the home on old meadow road in mclean, virginia. firefighters say the 91-year-old suffered third-degree burns. he was taken to the hospital with life-threatening injuries. the cause of the fire is under investigation. just how much of an impact is president obama having on the efforts to legalize same-sex marriage in maryland? check out the results of a new public policy poll. according to that poll, 57 of likely voters in maryland say they'll vote in favor of same-sex marriage if the issue makes it on to november's ballot. 37% of likely voters say they're against making the marriages legal.

the 20-point margin was just 12 in march and pollsters say the shift is almost entirely due to a change in attitude by african-american voters. maryland lawmakers may have to wait until next year to decide whether to expand gambling in the states. republicans in the house of delegates say they oppose a special legislative session to address the gambling issue. they say special sessions should only be called in times of true crisis. earlier, governor martin o'malley said a special session could be held in july if a group discussing gambling reaches an agreement. lawmakers are thinking of allowing table games in maryland casinos and allowing a seeno in prince george's county. a warning in prince george's county police if someone calls you claim that you've just won millions of dollars in a sweep stakes it may be a scam. they say con artists just scammed a 70-year-old out of thousands of dollars, they told her she had won 2.5 million dollars and a new mercedes if she gave them $8,000 in gift

cards to cover the cost of taxes. fortunately the woman's bank became suspicious when she withdrew $8,000 in cash. they alerted police who froze payment on 11 of the gift cards she bought. >> i think we have a good police force and it was pure luck, maybe the good lord was on our side. >> police say they fear there are other victims out there who are too embarrassed to come forward. well today we're learning the details of how you can say good-bye to the godfather of go-go, chuck brown. thousands of his fans are expected to attend a public viewing and memorial next week. the viewing will take place next tuesday at the howard theater from 11:00 a.m. until 10:00 p.m. the memorial service will happen next thursday from noon until 3:00 p.m. at the washington convention center. chuck brown died last week at the age of 75. he had been suffering from pneumonia. our time is 11:38, still

blame it it on face time and skype, chin implants surged in 2011. it surged more than breast augmentation, botox and liposuction combined. dr. steven hopping joins us with more on why people are choosing this surgery. what is the reason? i'm heard that it's face time and i can tell you, when that face time picture shows up, even if i'm not punching to pull it up, i don't like what i see, either. >> this was a big surprise in the study. these are not the most common
