private plane carrying dr. brantley last the just north of atlanta. inside the plane, multiple layers of protection to make sure no one would ever come in contact with the virus as news helicopters hovered above, police and fbi escorted his ambulance for 22 miles down two major highways and through atlanta take streets, arriving at emory university hospital. you could see clearly from above, first the driver emerged in full protective gear, then from the back, another person in a hazmat suit. and then a surprise. the patient himself, walking in to the hospital with support but no stretcher. inside the hospital, out of sight from our cameras, his family was watching it all play out on live tv. they hadn't known he had so much strength so when they saw that moment, they broke down in tears of joy. do have you any fear yourself? >> no. >> reporter: this is an

infectious disease specialist on the emory team treating dr. brantley. >> the unit where he will be taken care of is staffed with experts, physician experts, nursing experts, in the infection control practices that are necessary to both contain the virus and maintain the safety of both the patients in the hospital as well as the general public. >> reporter: dr. brantley's wife was finally able to see and hear her husband on the other side of a glass barricade in the isolation unit. she said she was thankful to god for his safe transport and asked people to continue praying for her husband and for the people of liberia and those serving there. dr. brantley was in liberia work being with samaritan's purse, the relief organization. he and his wife have young children. last july just before he left for liberia he spoke at his

childhood church in indianapolis. >> i had never met everyone or knew anything about liberia. god has a call on my life. >> that was nbc news's kate snow. ebola kills 9 out of 10 people who are infecked. hundreds of people in western africa has already died from the disease in just the last few weeks. health experts say you don't have to worry about the virus spreading here. this morning we are seeing the first damage reports done by tropical storm bertha. we'll get the latest track from storm team 4 as this system makes its way north. you might need that umbrella later today. we'll get the forecast next.

we're tracking thunderstorm

bertha right now and it's north of the dominican republic. the storm slammed over puerto rico. take a look. it dropped up to eight. inches of rain. it caused landslides. at least one person was hurt. storm is packing i understand up to 45 miles an hour. >> obviously whether see damage like that, we want to know what the effect will be here. yesterday ameal he we were che track. >> the god neod news is this zt storm system is not having any impact on the eastern seaboard. as we head into the early part of the work week, you see how it stays out to sea, potentially strengthening to category 1 hurricane on early wednesday. but by thursday it will already

start to lose strength. so good news there. back here for your sunday, the weather today having a low, maybe moderate impact on your day. we are looking at another cloud-sun mix with some scattered showers, maybe an isolated thunderstorm in the forecast. the best chance for rain is later in the day. here's why. for the most part, a mainly dry start this morning. just light rain up around baltimore. even seeing some clearing back around northern prince william counties. future weather at 8:00 a.m., more clouds around the d.c. metro region. by noon there may be light hit or miss showers starting to develop at that point. 3:00, we'll track some scattered source, maybe an isolated thunderstorm as we get into the evening hours. sunday evening, have your dinner outside before you head back to work, you may not be able to get

that in tonight. for the most part, keep the umbrella handy today. any outdoor plans you have ould be okay. nationals play later today. can't rule out a shower for the game. i don't think the shower will be strong enough to cause the rain delay. tomorrow morning, 6:00 a.m. the weather not impacting that morning commute. temperatures right now for the most part around 70 degrees. 70 in college park. 69 in camp springs. 68 degrees in restin. highs today in the low to mid 80s. 84 for a high today in washington. it was our high yesterday. 83 in leesburg. 81 in annapolis. for tomorrow, more sunshine. partly sunny skies. humid. it is a touch warmer for monday. a high of 87. maybe an isolate afternoon thunderstorm. only about a 20% chance of that actually happening. there could and shower or thunderstorm around on your tuesday afternoon as well, but

more importantly, it is hot and humid with a high temperature around 90 degrees. so monday and tuesday look like pretty good pool days but the uv index is pretty high. make sure you put sunscreen on the kids. for wednesday, a better chance for showers and thunderstorms, a hive 87. the showers though are a good news. that will lower the humidity for thursday, friday, even into saturday. >> 6:13. next up, we have "reporter's notebook" for you. we will be back in 15 minutes with much more of this morning's top stories. good morning. welcome to "reporter's notebook." the mcdonald trial gets under way. federal corruption trial of former virginia governor bob mcdonnell and his wife maureen began last week with riveting details about their finances, their marriage and relationship. there was testimony the couple

was given money and gifts in exchange for help promoting his business. the trial opened up with maureen mcdonnell's attorney saying she had a crush on williams, that their marriage was crumbling, and that they couldn't have conspired as prosecutors claimed to help williams. what are your thoughts about this trial so far? >> there's one word that you left out. it was unexpected. i don't think anyone expected that this would be a defense when they initially walked in. i heard some reporters say that there were rumors that that might happen. but totally unexpected. i think that's why people are shocked. i find it interesting. i just don't know how you can seat couple -- talking about the first couple of virginia -- in cars together, they're driving from north carolina to richmond together and you have photographs of them smiling. their daughter's wedding. there was no indication whatsoever. but the bottom line is, you give

to a wife, who is supposedly not speaking to the husband, and you then testify within expect something from it. what can the wife give you? she's not the office holder. >> michael, people are calling it "the crush strategy." do you think it is a strategy. >> joe mentioned the word unexpected. i would add a different wore, that's desperate. because when you're gasi ingfact of time for these kinds of charges, you have to figure out something. i'm just as mystified as to the strategy as others. to me there is really no other strategy to make other than to do this long drawn. out piece about how they weren't speaking, but is difficult to accept if we understand how couples work. it's a sympathy play. it also points out, if it is in fact true.

bad finances can hamper and undermine a variety of relationship. for that reason, there may and kernel of truth to it but it strikes me first and foremost as a sympathy play and a hail mary pass. >> it is a high-risk strategy. it may be the thing that saves the couple. on the other hand, if it backfires, if people think it is a strategy and nothing more that they'remakering this up, they hadn't heard anything about problems with the marriage, then it could backfire and could be very, very bad. >> what do you think about the images? they wanted to be tried separately. they are being tried together but they have their own attorneys. >> the images of course, the tv shots and everything, shows them arriving. so they get their photo-op. the question again, is, was it contrived? are they not wanting to be seen with each other? or what? i mean there's still the question. about jhonny williams whoategy.

took the stand? he was the star witness for the prosecution. >> he says, look. i wanted access. i don't know what i might have wanted. but whatever it is, i was going to do whatever i had to do. you are talking about you're flying the daughters back and forth. you send the wife on a multi-thousand dollar shopping spree. he testifies she was very happy. you let them drive your ferrari, or whatever it was, from north carolina to richmond. you know, what it also says is that if we don't recognize this, we should -- the governor kick his wife under the bus. >> d.c.'s handgun ban overturned and then reinstated temporarily. a federal judge overturned the ban on loaded handguns carried in public in the district and then put his own ruling on hold for 90 days for give the city time to rewrite the law, or possibly to appeal.

this created a lot of confusion for police and for gun owners and it raised concerns about public safety. dave, even if the city rewrites the gun laws, do you think that will clear up all the confusion? >> that's what the city hopes. there are people in my reporting wondering why the judge did this two-step thing. why didn't he just say, okay, look, this is the law and it is okay to have a gun and right away -- and that's it. but then he came back and said, well, we're going to give you a stay to get your ducks in a row and argue it. because it certainly through every elected official and every reporter, by the way, in washington just about, i think the way the decision was hand was considered are surprising to an awful lot of people. what finally happens is unclear. but one thing is clear -- the district's gun laws are under assault. big time. >> the gun advocates that fought long and hard for this, how big

a win is it for them? >> it is a huge win. it is also an champ of judicial activism. it concerns us that liberal judges are rewriting the laws. in this case an implementation strategy around this issue. d.c. has been the epicenter for this effort to get judges to overturn gun laws around the country. essentially what this judge has done is said that, anybody anywhere in the district can carry a pistol on their hip if they want to. that is very problematic for a variety of obvious reasons. i think one alternative response could and national security or national safety argument. the district is a special place. in some respects, some of the arguments that are placed in terms of public policy for other parts of the country may not necessarily be appropriate here. i don't think it is -- i, for one, do not believe it makes a

lot of sense to open this up where anybody can walk around with a pistol. >> what do you think about people walking on the streets of the nation's capital, packing, with a loaded weapon. >> exactly. i was sitting here thinking, isn't it amazing where we are now? pot and guns. i mean -- not that i'm saying the two go together. but think about this, are you absolutely right. now when you are at a museum, you can carry a gun. or will you have to check the gun when you go in to a museum? obviously you're not going to walk into the capitol -- you can't walk into the capitol with a gun so you are absolutely right. i think michaelle's on to something. the district of columbia is not a state. we want it to be a state but it is not a state. it is a special place. and somebody might play that card. >> we should point out quickly though, in federal buildings, federal property and in the capitol, of all places, the white house, are you still not allowed to carry a gun.

it is just other parts of the city. that creates a problem for police to watch out where people are going. >> we'll be right back. stay with us. 7

lmpl . the general services administration has narrowed the list of possible sites for the new fbi headquarters to three locations. the greenbelt metro, the old landover mall, or a government warehouse and cia facility located in springfield. we expect a decision later this year. what do you make of the full-court press we saw this last week by elect leaders in both jurisdictions by especially prince george's?

>> they're just raring to go ho virginia's one, they'll get it. it could go the other way around. virginia might have one thing to focus on and that would be to their advantage. both sides are convinced that fbi people already live in their districts. they're disputing each other as to how many fbi workers are already around in fairfax. they both claim they're wonderful traffic hubs. you can't miss these places, it is great to get to. it is interesting to see where the judges decide. >> do you think the fact that are two prince george's locations weigh in favor of prince george's county. >> they may actually split support and make it easier for the siding to go in virginia. i think the traffic arguments are interesting.

i think the beltway's crowded enough as it is. but perhaps it is not. perhaps it needs to be more cars there. but the virginia leadership is as savvy as the maryland leadership. you can hold all the press conferences and make all the compelling arguments you want. but if there is a split, i wouldn't be surprised to see this end up there. >> there's no place in washington, d.c. that you can say it is a light traffic hub. >> in the region. >> yes. i'm sorry. in the washington, d.c. region. are you absolutely right. that's why we have a new silver line to try to deal with this. i don't know. i don't have -- i'm a washingtonian. quite honestly, i know, pat, i'm looking at you. i wish it would stay in washington. i find in fascinating that the fbi would not be in the nation's capital. but i don't even think they're

in play. >> no, they're not. >> to be honest. so now what we have to figure out in washington, what do do you with that huge piece of property? >> the deal is, the developer who builds the new headquarters will get redevelop the old headquarters. but documents obtained by news4's eye team show we don't know what the property is worth. >> you have to assume on pennsylvania avenue sooner or later it is going to become a huge shopping, recreational, just like what's happened around gallery place and other parts of the town that have been revived. every indication from the business community is this is going to be a huge developmental success and a huge tax success. >> i think you are right. because donald trump, whatever you think of his politics, is a very shrewd businessman. he's thinking 10, 20 years out. with himopinel the old post

office, he's seeing somebody the average person doesn't see for that corridor. >> the way the city is exploding, you can be stevie wonder and see it. my fear is that the developer will get such a sweet deal that the city will lose out on potential revenue from the texts of whatever the development is rather than if it were put up for an open bid. >> it will certainly be a big boon for whoever gets it. what about the big boon the silver line. it opened last weekend. there are five new stations in virginia. this is phase one. phase two expected to be finished by 018. metro has a lot to celebrate. >> they have a lot to celebrate. this has been delayed and delayed and delayed. it's been a real mess. but i want to point out a strategy piece. think it is brilliant to open this in late summer when there

are fewer people commuting and more people on vacation. so if there is a hitch, it may not be as big a deal. it may not be noticed as much. so they should be commended. and again, i've said this before here and i think we're all sort of in agreement on this -- infrastructure, mass transit, we need more investment in that. i hope that the silver line is a success. >> they're smart. yes, they opened it during the summer but they haven't even put the new trains up. wait until the new trains then get on the silver line. what is so important about this, it is really for the working person. with the jobs out there, people can now get to work. obviously they can go shop. a lot of retailers. people don't make a lot of money. a lot of them are minimum wage. now they have excellent mass transit. >> but david, progress for some means delays and inconvenience for others. if you ride buses or take blue line trains. >> yeah.

there weren't any real screw-ups. pardon me if i can say that on this family show. they had to make adjustments. some of the signage isn't completed yet. as far as a major problem, it seems like it is a good thing that's come. there ought to be a strategy session, lessons learn. for future projects how can we avoid the incredible and expensive delays that have got in the way of the silver line. >> thank you, gentlemen. thank you for being with us. that's "reporter's notebook." stay with us. "news4 today" continues. don't use it, don't drink

it, don't even drooi ttry to bo. the attempt to get this major resource to the public. you might want to get your outdoor chores done nice and early because we could have a wet afternoon. welcome back to "news4 today." we start this half-hour with the chances of rain today. >> talk about timing. what time will we need to head inside. >> we don't even necessarily need to head inside today. this will be hit or miss activity. today it is not a wash-out. but the threat of a shower holds off until the midday hours. the rest of your morning hours should essentially be dry. temperatures in the 60s and 70s. 63 in winchester right now. washington coming in at 73. variably cloudy skies across the area. you can see some breaks in the clouds. by noon we are at 77 degrees.

how warm will it get this afternoon? i'll tell you that and the timing of the rain in just over ten minutes. developing at this hour -- pl imagine turning on the tap. water this morning and the water that comes out could cool. b kill you. >> reporter: the camps waited three hours with 60 other desperate farms to finally get what they came for. one case per family of clean drinking water for 4-year-old todd jr. and his 1-year-old sister, michelle. they live in toledo, ohio where families are waiting in line and living in a state of emergency. >> orderly fashion, please. >> reporter: the water here is not safe to drink. >> i'm very concerned for my kids because i don't want them to get sick. >> reporter: the city announced tap water was dangerous to consume, store shelves went empty in hours.

lines at grocery stores wrapped around the block. some drove from ohio to michigan for a case of water. police called in for crowd control. >> so far there's no real panic but people are very concerned. >> reporter: lake erie, a major source of drinking water for toledo, may have been impacted by a harmful algae. the city's water treatment plant serves 400,000 people, an area spanning 100 square miles. restaurants have been shut down. the university of toledo and the zoo are closed. >> we are issuing this alert because it is above the safe level for ingestion. >> reporter: effects from the tainted water could be crippling. abnormal liver function, diarrhea, vomiting, nausea, numbness. late tonight new precautions in chicago. city officials are retesting water quality in lake michigan. back in toledo, the epa is on the ground. but for families like this, help

and answers aren't coming fast enough. miguel almaguer. >> people can't even boil the water to clean it because the toxin can become more concentrated that way. 54-year-old mall ccolm thom was arrested after finding two women dead after police responded to a call to check on people who lived inside the home. investigators say the women suffered trauma to their upper bodies. police say the murders do not appear to be random. they say it was a domestic case. neighbors are still uneasy. >> you see it on television. you hear about it and then you wake up one morning to the police knocking on your door and you find out that that very thing is going on next door. it is very, very, very unnerving. >> the suspect in the case, thomas, is in custody in southern virginia awaiting

extradition to prince george's county. happening today, family and friends will remember a virginia teenager who vanished a year ago. 17-year-old eelectrl alexis dis after a shopping trip. her body was never found. a virginia man will most likely spend the rest of his life in prison for murphy's a disappearance. a jury convicted randy taylor of abducting and murdering murphy even though her body was never found. this morning a family is planning a funeral for a morton man who died in a car crash early yesterday. police say juan gomez lost control of his car, then hit a tree and died. investigators believe gomez was speeding. they also tell us he was not wearing a seatbelt. this morning we now know what led up to a chain reaction crash in fairfax county.

virginia state police say yesterday afternoon they pulled a woman over and began to take her into custody for an outstanding warrant when a passenger in her car are, anthony mccray, allegedly jumped into the driver's seat and took off. police chased him as he exited eastbound 66 to switch to going westbound. he crashed into one car, which hit another. six people got hurt in the crash. two seriously injured. police then arrested mccray. they say he had two outstanding warrants. we have a scam alert for people. police say a man posed as a water company worker to get inside of a woman's home. once he got inside, the woman told police she noticed several things were missing when he left. investigators say this is the second time in the past week they responded to a similar call. showing force in numbers. message from this group as it tries to keep more families together. plus the protesters who may have gone a bit too far at this demonstration. lawmakers on summer break

we are following a developing story in the middle east. we want to take you live to the gaza strip. seeing a lot of smoke, billowing cloud right there right over the area just about 1:38 p.m. their time there in gaza. several israeli tanks and military trucks have been seen leaving gaza. the move follows israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu's telephone address last night where he suggested that troops would re-assess their operation. nine palestinians died in those strikes. israel says it will not attend cease-fire negotiations that were supposed to happen today in

cairo. we saw an attempt for a cease-fire collapse within hours after a deal negotiated by secretary of state john kerry. >> that's right. reports that at least two israeli soldiers have been killed. the question as we to your knowledge to "meet the press" moderator david greg, is pete a reality? >> i think even the president who is very strongly behind israel said in his press conference on friday it is very difficult to negotiate a cease-fire when hamas just broke this one so clearly. it shows you that the president is not going to put extra pressure on israel to get into that negotiation. i think the pressure point here despite these images of renewed violence is that israel may be closer to achieving its near-term objective, destroying these tunnels. its overall objective of demilitarizing gaza is still out there but they don't really want to negotiate with hamas. i think the big play here is to try to moderate what is the palestinian leadership in gaza. that could play a role for the

united states. that gets into the other palestinian authority which rules the west bank and getting them more in control in gaza. >> what about the analysts who have said that destroying these tunnels will do nothing destroying this rocket war that israel is seeing and that israel can't afford to do these wars every few years. >> first, you are exactly right. rocket fire is very important. neutralizing that threat is something israel often does in the region, trying to degrade threats surrounding it. one of the questions that i'll ask this morning, which is, is there a military solution to this problem. even if israel thinks there is, how much have they lost, how isolated are they? i thought it was significant that the president of the united states was so strongly behind israel, even at a time when the obama and netanyahu administrations do not see eye to eye on a number of issues and after a peace process collapsed, it shows you the united states

is trying to shore up support for israel. >> congress home for the summer, leaving some work undone, including the border crisis issue. when they return do we expect anything to be done? >> no. i think right now you look for the president to try to mitigate the problem on his own. he has executive powers that could end up providing legal status of some kind for those children who have come from central america trying to gain access to the united states. i think he'll try to figure out some way to do that, particularly the children. it is a separate question dealing with the broader issue of immigration reform. he'll do what he can do on his own by the fact that congress has refused to do anything meaningful. >> a lot of these stories you are covering today on "meet the press," including the ebola vir virus. >> yes. we'll have the latest on the doctor who's returned to the united states, our concerns about the ability to handle this as a government and fears about it spreading. there is a lot we don't know

about ebola we'll try to clear up. >> catch david on "meet the press" right here on nbc 4 after "news4 today." hundreds of people marched in rally against deportation of men, women and children who cross into the u.s. illegally. they say the government should focus its resources on keeping immigrant families together. news4 shows us what they are fighting for. >> reporter: they brought their message. not one more deportation to the national mall. they say this movement is about keeping families together. this woman who flilives in pennsylvania with her 3 and 9-year-old girls does not want her husband and children's father to be sent back to mexico. >> i got arrested. i was trying to make a point. >> reporter: so is this american university professor. >> we just came back from honduras. >> reporter: she's marching for her 2-year-old daughter around

thbehie fami in honduras. >> my daughter is half honduran and she has a large family in honduras. >> reporter: 15 bus loads of people came here from all across the country to put the pressure on president obama. >> not one more deportation, everyone. >> reporter: first stop, freedom plaza where two protesters delivered their message high above on flag poles. hour-long climb stopped traffic on pennsylvania avenue and captured the attention of d.c. firefighters, metropolitan and park police, who eventually arrested the man and woman. >> yes, we can change things. we already have. >> reporter: final stop -- the white house. >> so it is political, but it is very intimate. it is also about families. >> reporter: and then back home to fight very personal campaigns to live their version of the american dream.

in case you are planning to take metro today, watch out for track work on the red line. until closing tonight. you can take the green line to avoid the delay. metro's other five lines are all running at normal weekend service. just under 18 hours left to take advantage of the tax-free holiday for school supplies as long as it is under $20. lots of clothing is tax free as long as each item costs less than $100. maryland's tax-free holiday begins august 10th. for details, go to nbcwashington.com and search tax-free. don't litter in the district or face a $75 ticket. d.c. police are reminding people to properly throw away your trash. not just toss it out on to the

streets. for the next month officers will issue warnings in some areas of the district. they're already ticketing pedestrians in certain neighborhoods. starting in september everyone caught littering will be ticketed $75. police already issued $100 tickets to drivers who litter in the district. 6:45. folks look behind us and see a cloudy backdrop. >> this morning the d.c. metro area seeing a lot of cloudiness but very similar yesterday. areas back to the west already seeing a little bit more sunshine. as we work our way throughout the day today, partly to mostly cloudy skies. there are scattered showers, maybe a thunderstorm in the forecast but that chance really holds off until the midday, afternoon and evening hours. again, a few showers, maybe a thunderstorm today. about a 50% chance that you are dealing with some rain. no severe weather in the forecast so that is some good news. as we look to the beginning of the work week, it will be hot

and humid. there are only minor rain chances this week. some people are asking on facebook if we're going to get a steady soaking rain any time soon. unfortunately, that's not in the frat. temperatures now are around 70 degrees. washington coming in at 73. that mass s manassas. 78. mainly dry today, temperatures in the low 70s. into the lunch time hours, temperatures in the mid 70s. as we get into the afternoon, tracking scattered source. high today of 84. that's what we experienced yesterday. chances of a thunderstorm this evening as well. temperature at 7:00 around 80 degrees. the latest check of the satellite and radar, there's nothing on the map and there's nothing really moving into the area. we'll wait to see some of these

police keep in their cruisers and it worked. >> i was very, very fortunate that we were right there. you have a short window to defibrillate someone. luckily for everyone involved we were right there when it happened. >> reporter: the next thing he remembers is waking up in the emergency room. >> they said you were a goner and you were lucky, because the policeman was an emt. and he knew just what to do. >> reporter: harrington says all police are trained to do exactly what he did that day. but he says it's not every day that he gets to have this large of an impact on someone's life. >> he we don't have many of these, certainly not in law enforcement. it is very difficult sometime to quantify the difference we make. every once in a while something like this happens and it feels good. >> give the guy a medal. >> you can see by that video he's obviously working on the guy right there in the middle of the street, risking his own life to do that. >> talk about being in the right place at t[x%#che right timen

having the right equipment and the proper training. heads-up for you in bethesda. >> your commute could get a little easier. do we have your attention? the maryland state highway administration could re-open a portion of cedar lane tomorrow morning that stretches from elmhurst parkway. this depends if the weather holds up and crews can finish their work today. so if it doesn't, you can blame amelia. >> no, thank you. >> you're actually heading offer to vacation. >> for the most part, the weather should hold up. there is a 50% chance you are deal with a shower or thunderstorm. best chance will be later in the day. for the afternoon and evening hours. you could make it through your sunday completely dry. i think it is a great day to download the storm team 4 weather app. get the radar and see what's happening out there right now. expect for today a few showers.

the chance for some in the forecast. again, the time something really later today. as we start the beginning of the work week, it will be warm to hot but more importantly, humid. if you've been outside this morning you've noticed how muggy it is out there. also a little bit on the humid side throughout the day today. there are only minor rain chances for this upcoming work week. there aren't going to be any soaking rains, any rainy days in the forecast. when you do see that chance of rain, what it is meaning, you could be dealing with a passing shower or thunderstorm. i think some of us, especially the gardeners, want to see a nice soaking rain. that's not in the forecast. i'm not tracking any rain in our immediate area. you can see some very light rain starting to show up around howard county. also in parts of eastern frederick county. also my facebook page getting some reports of some kind of drizzly mist around annapolis. most of us are dry this morning

with mainly cloudy skies. temperatures now coming in around 70 degrees. 68 in manassas. 70 in college park. 73 for those of you in washington. your hour by hour planner for today, noon, still mainly dry. partly to mostly cloudy skies today. 2:00, it is humid. there could be some isolated showers around. temperatures in the low 80s. our high today, 84. it will feel exactly how it felt outside yesterday. some scattered showers at 4:00 p.m. 6:00 p.m., some scattered showers still likely and maybe an isolated thunderstorm. any thunderstorms today will not be severe. that means we aren't looking at any large hail in the forecast or any winds that could potentially be damaging. 6:00 temperatures will be in the low 80s. with future weather, i think it is a little bit overdone. hit or miss activity throughout the afternoon. at noon. but then at 3:00 notice some

showers here and there. but it is not a widespread rain. 8:00, potentially some storms moving through the area. by midnight we will return to mainly dry conditions. nationals take on the phillies this afternoon. we can't rule out a shower at the game but it won't lead to a rain delay. i think the game will continue to play even if they see a quick passing shower, even a thunderstorm that would be moving through quickly. low 80s by the first pitch. last out, temperatures in the mid 80s. it will be humid at the ballpark today so keep that in mind. tom tomorrow, hi for tomorrow, 87, partly sunny skies. maybe you are trying to refinish the pool, probably don't do that tomorrow. then on tuesday, maybe a thunderstorm. >> okay, amelia. thanks so much. this morning we now know how long it will be before paul george can even probably walk again. we told you the nba star broke his leg in a gruesome injury.
