right now the army ten-mile sirnd way and racers are making their way through the course. >> here's a live look at the 14th street bridge. let's check back with news 4's derrick ward live along the course at the lincoln memorial. beautiful day for running. >> reporter: oh, it's a beautiful day for it, indeed. take a look at race course as it runs behind us here. i think the last of the runners or walkers at this point may have actually gone by. they still had the road closed because there's a significant cleanup. there's thousands of cups, you know, that was water for the runners, so they will have to clean all of that up so these closures will be in place until midday. take a look at the video and what it looked like earlier in the race. 35,000 runners are taking part in this 30th annual army ten-miler and it promotes

health. you'll have to have road closures and the map tells you how the race is run. it started at pentagon and came across the 14th street bridge and traffic is coming down around the memorial bridge. not allowed around the lincoln memorial. these closures will be in place until about noon today and things should be getting back to normal. of course, as we said earlier, we do have the taste of d.c. in town so pennsylvania between ninth and 1th. that will be closed as well but a lot to do down there. live at northwest, derrick ward, news 1. >> thanks very much and a crisp morning for any activities out there this morning and will it warm up, that's the question? >> and will it dry out. storm team 1 meteorologist chuck bell joins you with the sunday forecast. >> good morning. nice view from the tower camera looking down to the south.

check this out, got a plane coming up the river. let's take a look on o tower camera. did he drift out of view already? let me tilt the camera just a smidgeon. another plane load around the river here and they are leaving great weather behind. temperatures are in the cool 50s for out-the-door weather first thing this morning. plenty of sunshine. if you need sunshine in your life after that cloudy miserable day yesterday, get outside and enjoy as soon as "meet the press" is over. nothing to worry about just yet in our fair round but just down to our south raindrops are sneaking in. most of them are going to be eaten up by the dry air overhead and clouds will definitely make it into our area and sprinkles could reach as close in as perhaps just west and southwest of manassas by later on this afternoon. i've updated the hour-by-hour graphic. 10:00 a.m., 55 and later a few

drops or sprinkles. a little chance for some monday raindrops as well and some wednesday thunder. more about that with your seven-day in a few more minutes. >> thanks. this morning u.s. airways looking into problems that caused two of its flights to make emergency landings. airline says oxygen masks deployed on a flight from new york to charlotte, no one was hurt and a few minutes later a u.s. air express flight from greensboro to charlotte also made an emergency landing. the pilots declared the landing because of an hydraulics issue no. one was hurt. >> your favorite airline tweet and the response is almost instantaneous. just who is the wizard behind the curtain? news 4's erica gonzalez explains. >> reporter: look familiar. perhaps this is you, feverishly typing away on social media. now more than ever digital is where it's at, and the airlines

are no exception. >> the speed at which they want information and want answers has really accelerated over the last couple of year, and so i think that really is the challenge. >> reporter: i had to go behind the scenes with a number of major airlines so you can see who responds to your tweets and posts. jetblue, delta and southwest. >> it's our version of a social media command center. >> reporter: recently a man was removed from the plane after releasing the name of an agent who he said was rude. >> southwest tells me that decision was made which local agents. i'm told fliers should not be frightened to express their thoughts, positive or negative and cases like watson should not be experienced by other travelers. watson was offered vouchers and later had his trip reimbursed.

>> kwae of policy that the customer was upset about it. >> this is delta's social media lab in atlanta. @deltaassist is monitored 24/7 in english and has social media specialists in spanish, portuguese and japanese. delta service in the twittersphere in 2008 and now receives more than 3,000 tweets a day. it takes 22 people to hold down this fortt. jetblue came on the twitter scene a year earlier. behind the scenes of this is more than two dozen people that work from home. on a fair weather day, as the couple puts it, they can respond to a few thousand tweets a day. only 15% of tweets get a response and when we do respond

our team does so thoughtfully, preferring quality of responses to quantity. southwest has a similar approach with a staff of eight, and they can do it in about ten minutes. >> all customer relations employees so they have all the training, tools and empowerment to help our customers just like the regular phone rep would or someone who writes in or sends us an e-mail. >> so if you're not happy who or what dictates how much of a voucher upgrade or refund you get, if any? one of these people. one case at a time. >> well, it's not just aviation. according to "forbes" some 59% of companies said that they look for their name mentioned on social media, and this is something that i do every time i send an e-mail when i have a question about any type of company. i'll always check to see if they have a twitter handle because most likely they will fire back a response to that. >> right. >> before they get to the e-mail. >> and why not, because it's their way to communicate directly with you. >> yeah, and then it's in the public eye so then there's even

more pressure to be held accountable and to respond. >> exactly. >> we're watching. >> we do have amazing video that came in overnight. a car gets stuck inside of a home. ahead the crash that's a close call for everybody involve

new this morning. prince george's county police are investigating a deadly crash in riverdale. just before 3:00 in the morning, a car veered off the road and crashed into a utility pole on riverdale road right there. the man inside the car did die at scene. riverdale road is back open now. it was closed for hours while police conducted their investigation. a clinton family is woken up to a car wedged into the side of their houseches look at this video. prince georges county police say just before 1:00 in the morning the driver ran off the road and slammed the car through the brick house. the two people inside of the car

surprisingly were not seriously hurt. two people were inside the home at the time, but they were in a different room. >> now this morning a maryland family needs help finding their sop. this is 17-year-old owen fustay. police say saturday night he left the family home on west college terrace in frederick. if you see him call police. today you can learn more about parkinson's at the washington hilton. the partners in parkinson's event last until 3:30 this afternoon. international pams and breakout sessions on understanding and living with the disease. >> new revelations just coming out about that new case of ebola, the protocoles that the cdc says was not followed and what that means for people in dallas right now. >> plus, chuck says there could be figure changes in your forecast. >> absolutely right. keeping a close eye on storm center 4 and there's a

possibility of october thunder in cases of rape and incest, just like the right-wing republicans in congress. they want to overturn roe v. wade. so does she. "i think roe v. wade should be overturned." barbara comstock even voted with right-wing republicans to require women seeking an abortion to undergo transvaginal ultrasounds. that's all i need to know. i'm john foust and i approve this messge.

we're following a developing story out of texas. a health care worker tested positive for ebola. that worker treated the man who died from ebola in dallas. >> sarah.

>> reporter: good morning, angie. we have learned that this worker is in stable condition. they are being tweeted in the hospital right now and a close contact is in isolation, we're told. we're learning more about how the situation or circumstances rather surrounding when they contracted ebola. they were wearing full protective gear when they tweeted thomas eric duncan on his second visit here to the hospital which began september 26th, and this person was not part of the high-risk pool. officials are now identifying contacts, people who may have been exposed as we await for the c.dc to confirm the preliminary test results of the positive ebola finding. if in fact they are confirmed this would be the first person-to-person transmission case of ebola in the united states. meanwhile, has maas crews are decontaminating the apartment 15 minutes from here. they will return here this morning to continue their work, and they will also check on a

pet inside the apartment. neighbors were identified via reverse 911 calls and dore-to-door visits and the e.r. here has stopped accepting patients while they focus on the newest case and try to learn exactly what happened and how this person contracted ebola. meanwhile, 48 people who had contact with duncan and were being monitored already, no one was reporting any signs or symptoms of ebola there. just this one patient, this health care worker who was reportedly, angie in, stable condition. back to you. >> sarah dolloy reporting live from dallas. >> the head of the cdc says that worker who treated thomas duncan treated him several times after he was diagnosed with ebola. dr. tom frieden tells cbs' "face the nation" says all who treated duncan are potentially exposed. there was a clear breech of protocol. there will be a close look at how taking off the gear because

incorrectly doing so can lead to contamination. the cdc will hold a news conference and a lot to get to there and a lot more questions to get to at that hospital. >> we spoke with "meet the press" moderator chuck todd earlier about the response to the ebola crisis. >> we start to see this bleed into the campaign trail, so to speak, specifically what toss this mean for the candidates as they head into the mid-term? >> nothing like a public health crisis in an election year let alone an election month so you have the ramped-up political rhetoric that's sort of feeding into people's concerns and fears, particularly that live close to the border. >> this has been i would say the disconnect that government has had with the public which is trying to calm the public down and then every time they seem to be winning that pr fight then something happens like this morning. we have a new case. >> chuck todd referencing house

hearings where lawmakers were asking members from the government why can't we close our borders. >> that's at 10:30 right at news 4 today. >> decision 2013. the top two candidates for d.krshlgts mayor could spend a lot of money in the last month of the cape. candidate muriel bowser has $1 million and independent candidate david catania's campaign says they have 865,000 on campaign. bowser is seen as the front-runner but recent polls show her opponent is gaining ground. virginians will be voting for both senate and house of representatives candidates on november 4th. tuesday october 14th is your deadline to register to vote for maryland's next governor. if you can't complete an application in person, can you

fill one out online or mail in an application. >> virginia will receive 4.8 million from federal homeland security funding. fairfax county will get money for hazardous materials, response team equipment. virginia beach will get funds to handle railway incidents. the city of roanoke, the law enforcement tactical response team will also benefit from this. in total 79 projects across the commonwealth will get some money. >> turk our eyes to the weather and outside -- >> we can actually look at the sky today. turn our eye to the sky without getting a raindrop in our eye. >> at no additional charge to you. 100% free sunshine for you on your sunday morning, and we appreciate it after that cloudy day yesterday. nobody in the metro area saw a sliver of sunshine. today though, it's beautiful outside now. you need to enjoy the sunshine while you can, because we're going to be sunshine challenged by later today. tomorrow the sky will not look like this at all. nice and blue.

can't even find a cloud in that picture. there will clouds hanging around out there. just not in this particular camera view but it's a nice looking day outside. runners still streaming over the 1th street bridge and the army ten-miler. 35,000 runners strong and if you want a great day to be running around downtown washington, if you're not participating in the race and you go out biking or running today, good weather for it. 57 degrees already at national airport. the overall impact the weather is going to have on your day today, nice and low. not much of anything. plenty of clouds coming our way. the good news is warmer air will also come with those clouds so tomorrow looks to be a cloudier day but a milder day, and tuesday cloudier and milder still. we're still at 47 in fairmount, 54 degrees in waldorf, laplata and clint op, maryland. hometown forecast, sterling, virginia, beautiful day across the old dominion today. if you're going to go outside and enjoy it. a little bit cool for the next couple of hours.

10:00 temperature is 52 and 63 by this afternoon. clouds coming in, and there will be a chance and just the slight chance of a few sprinkles or showers coming in during the course of the evening. here's where they are on radar. the bulk of the rain is still about five to six hours away and most of it, most, that's the key word in that sentence, most of it is going to be evaporating before it gets here into the metro. that said, the computer model is convinced that this is all going to dry up. here's the way that it looks on our computer model, by 2:00 or 3:00, that whole batch of moisture and the updated computer run shows all completely break up and by 9:00, even though skies are mostly cloudy, the computer doesn't think we have any chance at all for rain today. i'm telling you though a couple of drops here and there cannot be ruled out. you won't need your umbrella because they will be really light. the only places you might need an umbrella today, just down to our south and we have before the raindrops get eaten up. out the door tomorrow morning, temperatures in the mid to upper 50s. a cloudy start and a risk of a passing shower tomorrow and even

if you see rain tomorrow, rainfall amounts will be light. here's the future weather forecast on your monday. there's the green blob, a risk of showers and those lift out during the course of the afternoon and things should clear out a bit beyond that and look how much milder it is, 65 with clouds coming back this afternoon. a whole lot of clouds around tomorrow but not much in the way of rain. as i was saying earlie high chance for a very small amount of rain but thunderstorms a real possibility western afternoon and wednesday night. be ready for that. >> a little mid-week rumble. >> okay, thanks, chuck. death-defying acts before but none like this. what you probably have never seen on a tight rope that nick wallenda is practicing to pull wallenda is practicing to pull

us. >> reporter: even for the great nick wallenda there's a first time for everything. >> there's something about adding that blindfold that makes it taken to another level. >> reporter: nick wallenda is in sarasota practicing for his next stunt, a wire walk hundreds of feet above the windy city. the highlight will be the blindfold walk. that's the end of the journey. the first leg will be just as challenging, he's going to walk high in the sky at a 15--degree angle. >> if i want to encourage and inspire people which is the goal of everything i do at this point of my career i've got to challenge and push myself. >> his image is cemented in his memories with the walks above the grand canyon and niagara falls, but he didn't want his legacy to end there. this is his life's calling to show others they are capable of reaching great heights. >> good luck to nick. the chicago walk is set for sunday, november 2nd. >> and he says he lives his life by three words, three words only
