and started moving backwards. this was a scary situation in the sugarloaf mountain resort. the resort says about 200 people were on the lift. seven of them were hurt. they're recovering this morning. >> investigators working to determine what caused this house to explode. this is near columbus ohio. look at it right there, reduced to smoke and a pile of ash. you can see part of the chimney still standing. police say neighboring homes were damaged when this happened but remarkably no one hurt. >> that is devastating. okay. we are still welcoming spring with open arms. bring it on. >> it doesn't matter if it's a cool day. as long as it's sunny and doesn't feel like winter. >> exactly. we get back to the freezing temperatures at the beginning of next week. today, not too bad. we have to put up with a little bit of wind. >> but it's dry, right? >> exactly. today would be a good day to get

out and wash the car. fewer puddles and slush left. a lot of the snow zipvaep rised just like this. today some sunshine by the afternoon. all this as we track a weather front making its way through our area on storm team 4 radar here. you can see this is a live scan and nothing to report. different story on the satellite here. you can see a lot of clouds still streaming through. all this cloud cover associated with that weather front that's laid out right through our southern counties right through southern maryland right now, back into areas of west virginia. cloud cover there, i think our clouds will start burning off about about lunchtime today. behind this front, there is some cold air. i think that cold air will wait until early tomorrow morning before it moves in. 38 in hagerstown 28 in state college. 28 in pittsburgh along with that relatively low windchill temperatures by the start of next week. cold overnight and warm yes,

warm and even thundery some thunderstorms late in the week. let me show you what's going on. here is a look at a live view of our temperatures. 38 in gaithersburg and germantown. our temperatures will take a little bit of a dip by 7:00 a.m. by a degree or so. mostly cloudy 47 and rising for 9:00 to 11:00 a.m. with just a few clouds around the area. here is a look at your sunday. cool with a few clouds around in the afternoon. temperatures with light wind the values you're seeing here 25 to 29 degrees, d.c. and fredricksburg, will be a couple of degrees lower. cold start on monday. you'll need the coat heading out or at least you'll have to layer up. we have sunshine for the afternoon on monday to get a couple of days before we get another shot of any rain in here.

the high today going up to 53 in d.c. 52 in fredricksburg. particular plate tax waldorf, 52 the high. cambridge a little cooler 56 57 degrees. not a bad day all things considered. forecast for today, definitely low. we're breezy looking at cooler conditions than what we had yesterday. there it is by lunchtime, 45. by 2:00 48. low to mid 50s by 4:00 today. you're going to again still need a jacket if you'll be heading out. a little different story than yesterday. late tonight dry, we get chilly by 9:00 to 11:00 p.m. with just a few clouds around the area. a look at your four-day forecast rising temperature is midweek, the high of 64 degrees. look at the next couple days dry here. we'll take a look at that thundery warm weather that's going to be heading in toward the end of this week coming up in just a couple minutes. >> thanks v. j. next up is "reporter's notebook," a look at stories

affecting our community. >> we'll be back in 15 minutes with more of your morning's top stories. good morning, welcome tomorrow porter's notebook. i'm jim handly. a lot to get to. let's start with disturbing pictures that got national attention, african-american uva student at the hands of avc officers taken down. the governor and the school president for their part launched an immediate investigation. >> i think without the filling, it still would be an issue and still would be investigated. as we know pictures are very powerful. you see this young man down on the ground his face is bloodied i think the governor does the right thing. i don't think he came out too forceful or too judgmental. he said let's have an investigation. the president of the university of virginia is saying the saechlt she's had a tough year

with the death of heather graham the "rolling stone" article. i think she's probably seeing she should get out in front of this first and ask for an investigation, but i think the tone so far that the governor and that the president of uva and even maybe the state police are taking are saying we'll take a look at this. >> i think the real issue here is excessive force. do you have to use that type of force with a student who, by the way, had already been kept out by a bouncer. from what is being told we don't know until the actual case comes up he jerked his arm away from the officer. there are some people who would say, look cooperate with the police don't jerk and that type of thing. but then the question is do you really have to tackle a person like that and cause the kind of injury. the issue is excessive force. >> the question is is the

response proportional to the provocation, alleged provocation. and there is concern obviously among higher-ups at virginia and people who were there that it did go the wrong way. we don't know yet. we have to know the final analysis. you wonder about the training. these weren't regular police officers. they're alcoholic beverage control guys. i used to talk to gary hankins, a police spokesman in the district years ago of the rodney graham incident in los angeles. he said we wouldn't have done it the way they did, we swarm people come in quietly, try to subdue the person. it strikes me they ought to look at that type of training for more police officers. >> young people some cases can be -- what's the word my grandparents can be belligerent. >> and when you mix in alcohol. >> i like what dave says you

don't have to use excessive force, and i think the president of the university was smart, and i think she's learns and a lot of people have learned their lesson from ferguson and from maybe the university of oklahoma hold off. first is my concern for my student. i think she took a very interacting ta >> u.s. district turn ron may shun stepping down a lot of success with the corruption investigation, although the investigation it was former mayor vincent gray is still out there. what happens there and the timing of all this? what happens to other investigations? >> well, that's the big question. the big question what's going to happen? when is he going to finally have an indictment or show what the results of his investigation are? we're waiting and waiting. now he's leaving and there are still no results. that's the big issues one of the big issues right there, why

did he leave? he says he needed to do it he stayed long enough. he needed to be with his family. >> he's going back into private practice we should say. >> also. mary kay brought this up. she said his legacy will be marred by the vincent gray investigation. she believes he did the right thing by moving forward. by the fact he's leaving it wide open it's turned into his legacy maybe taking a negative hit. they say the investigation is still open. i think leaving and then leaving it open that does leave a problem when many would say his going after mayor gray really cost gray the election. >> vincent gray by the way, maybe wishes he left earlier. loose lips in city paper had a very good article, about maybe his bark was bigger than his bite. yes, michael brown, kwame brown

and the big fish of course was thompson they did some time in jail but vincent gray you're absolutely right. one person said thank you for electth our maying our mayor. the person handling the case will still be there. it doesn't mean vincent gray is out of the woods on this one. >> long-time leader in the district. there's concern for walter font roy's well-being. what do we know about what's going on? there were reports on our air that his house was being foreclosed upon and he's been traveling internationally. what do weberty to say a lot, so i'll be a little more cautious than i normally am. the biggest concern that most people have is really for his family for his wife.

reality is what brought this about, he's the last living person in that iconic photograph of the civil rights act, he wasn't there, the crossing of selma, 50th anniversary, he wasn't there. it had people talking, where is he? not only is he be loved in this town but he's a national icon. >> he is. >> what has a lot of us conned concerned is the judicial wife and family can they be taken care of while people are trying to figure out where is he and how do we get him back to the united states? >> i think, also any time you have big events and those who are of stature are not there, that's going to raise questions. joe has laid out some of the big' investments that happened even the passing of marion barry, with walter font roy not being at the funeral, that opens

up questions to where is he why is he not there? what is his state of being? i think this is a story that's not going to be closed off until we have answers with that. >> like mayor berry, walter the first congressman from the district of columbia was an iconic and extraordinary figure not only for the city but other issues in congress. he was very center in the south african debate changed history with others. it was my privilege and pleasure to cover him for a number of years, always a great and interesting guy. >> he actually went with me to south sudan during the time of -- when there was a civil war. he was one of the few members of congress -- at the time a former member of congress. but when i asked for individuals with a superb reputation to please come we went in the middle of a civil war and he

was very effective in talking to the leaders there. as you know south sudan became a new nation. i'm not saying because of walter font roy, but he certainly was recognized by the leaders in that country. it's not just national local, it's international. people are concerned. it's legitimate concern. >> thanks for sharing that. a lot more to get to on "reporter's notebook." stick with us.

welcome back. mayor muriel bowser launching an effort to connect with tens of thousands of residences. what is this all about? >> i think it's her trying to follow through on her campaign promises that i'll be the mayor of all of the wards. what's interesting is she's really following the footsteps of her mentor adrien fenty. i think most importantly she's

probably trying to reach out to the wards who felt their voices aren't being heard, specifically ward 8. i think that's where she started sending out not only volunteers but people on her staff and literally walking through the community, walking through alleys, talking to folks about the potholes being fixed, coming behind hers were filling potholes. from that sense the approach is the right approach talk to folks, make them feel like the city is working for them. i don't see a whole lot of downside on what she's doing here. >> i agree. as you were talking, i was thinking something that the mayor of baltimore used to do. his name escapes me. >> smokes? >> no. >> schaffer. >> schaffer. >> william donnell. >> schaffer used to drive, he would see where things needed to be repaired if a light was out, he'd always have a little yellow

stick-'em pad. he'd write down go fix the light at such and such go to the department head and stick it on the door. in the morning when the department head showed up there was a note this had to be done. hopefully if she does that you get the same results. i would also say don't leave out the anc commissioners. these are very important people. this is a vsh interesting structure we have in this town and they can be very effective, also. >> the only question is, once she does this and launches this initiative how much feedback will she get? what actions will she take on the feedback and will there be real change? >> county executive rayshern baker is pitching a $3.6 billion package. big property hike in taxes, coiled mean lay-offs furloughs, too. >> that's the hard sell. property taxes are already high

in prince george's county. any time you start talking about lay-offs that's a hard sale. where he's trying to soften it is lay-offs versus more money going into public education. you have larry hogan coming in and making cuts especially montgomery and prince george's county will be hit the hardest. where do you make up pour the loss of funds. the county exec says we have to furlough folks layoff people. which do you want? better education or fewer jobs? i think most who have county jobs would take the furloughs versus lay-offs. >> larry hogan as he's campaigned is not going to be raising taxes. >> so he says. >> so he says. he's not going to cut them either. >> again, you're campaigning, now you have to govern. >> in addition to that in prince george's you have all these vacant homes. so you're losing property tax there, also. so the burden now is on -- i pointed to you because that's

your struggle the burden is on those people who are there. >> it's interesting because baker argues part of his strategy is we can build up those property values with better schools. >> right. that's the hard thing. with prince george's county the problem they have the third largest school district in the region, second in the state yet you're second from the bottom in the state. for baker, even for his legacy to improve the school system i think might be what he should do. >> he's got to. that's the one thing most young families ask, safety and the schools. >> the dynamic, this big elephant in the room republican elephant larry hogan who wants to cut costs. he must cirque describe in what he can do. >> while we're talking schools and teachers. a parent has sued for the records of teachers and their performance. what's going on here?

>> real quick, if student performance is down then you want to look at what? the teachers' performance. they're saying those records shouldn't be made available. if they're publishing and i think that's what a judge said they should be. >> this could be a huge suit ultimately i would think. he's going to -- the teachers unions generally don't like this. a lot of people in government don't like it. it's a huge change and it will require a lot of effort and probably more in the courtroom than maybe in the classroom for a while. >> i think the other issue, too, once you open up these records, i think it also shows the teacher's salaries, what was given to the parent they did black that out. that's one issue for the teachers once you open this up how much information can the public view. >> gentlemen, thank you. we always enjoy talking with you son morning. back to "news 4 today." enjoy the rest of your weekend everybody.

good morning. welcome to "news 4 today." i'm angie goff. >> i'm david culver. adam tuss has the day off. going to be noticeably cooler today, especially compared to yesterday. >> that's right. meteorologist veronica johnson says it's because of the cold air that's moving in a little bit of a front shlths right, veronica? >> that's exactly it. yesterday's high 61 degrees. today about ten degrees lower in most neighborhoods. let me show you what i'm tracking here. clouds across the area. here is the weather front that moved through on satellite and radar. lots of cloud cover down to the south, even areas around charleston seeing the clouds. the fact you'll need a jacket. the wind 20 to 25 miles per hour factor that with our low

temperatures. right now we're at 38 in hagerstown 39 degrees, in the 30s in gaithersburg 47 in d.c. we continue with the up-and-down seesaw pattern. 53 by 4:00 p.m. cloud cover early, then we'll break out with more and more sunshine. the clear night, the lighter winds will deliver a very cold start to your morning on monday. we'll take a look at that coming up in a few. new this morning, someone is in the hospital with life-threatening injuries after a stabbing in manassas. we're looking to see if he or she is expected to survive. this starting with a fight at the all american steakhouse off dumfries road. this is near for leftest park high school. according to police the fight started inside and then moved outside of the restaurant. the picture that's gone viral shows the aftermath of a bloody arrest involving a uva stew didn't.

but what's missing on camera is what led up to that incident. "the washington post" report the alcoholic beverage control agency pledged to wear body cams more than a year ago following the mistaken arrest of another student. the post say in martise johnson's arrest he says officers had thrown him to the ground. he had been turned away from a local pub. students have protested the arrest on university grounds. tomorrow bus also start to use the shoulder lanes on i-66. if traffic is slower than 35 miles per hour they can move over to get you where you need to be on time. >> these bus changes are part of a bigger plan to improve traffic on the highway. >> vdot is considering adding another lane to the road. that would mean some homes would have to be destroyed. now the people who live in those homes are standing up against this plan. >> news 4's derrick ward shows us exactly what they're doing. >> reporter: congestion on i-66

is a given on weekdays and weengds. vdot wants to widen the thoroughfare between the beltway and gainesville complete with plans for future rail and dedicated bus lines. lines on a map are homes in the balance. marsha hook's house could be taken by imminent domain. she didn't know it. neither did her neighbor. >> we only found out basically through the grace of god, word of mouth. >> it's hard because we live two blocks away from the metro. i never drive to work. same as my wife. our kids just walk to the school across the street. >> reporter: at a public meeting in vienna worried and angry residents pelted vdot officials with questions and criticisms. they find it ironic they chose homes to get them out of the traffic street homes which are now threatened by those who need a longer commute. vdot says this is the path of least pain overall. >> it would be very hard to

improve the roadway, to improve the capacity of the road without any impact. so we recognize that. >> residents in places like dunn loring village says their community is at stake though they understand the need. >> there has to be less honorous proposals. we're asked to focus on our neighbors out west. >> reporter: there will be more public comment in the coming weeks. derrick ward news 4. beginning today, a major road project on i-95 in maryland. m dot's transcription secretary says the work could cause major traffic problems that could linger for months. it's happening between the fort mchenry tunnel and kay ton avenue in bault more. a former professor, david pitsz, pleaded guilty to breaking into the building to steal prescription medicine. prosecutors say he set a number

of small fires that night as well. pitts was the chairman of the school's department of public administration and policy. he will spend one day and one day behind arms. we're getting a look at a tunisian museum surveillance video from the deadly attack showed two tunisians who trained in libya opened fire in the museum killing 21 people. the gunmen died in a shootout with security forces. isis claimed responsibility for the attack. the u.n. security council holding an emergency meeting to discuss the situation in yemen. the country is on the verge of civil war. shy quite rebels are issuing a call to arms to battle against government forces. there's been heavy fighting following the deadly bombings at two mosques. now the u.s. has evacuated all remaining personnel and special forces. >> no problems at the new orleans international airport following that attack at the airport. a deputy killed richard white as he was chasing a tsa agent while

holding a machete. police say he also brought a bag of molotov cocktails and it's lucky he didn't seriously hurt or kill anyone. the woman he chased said he nearly caught her. >> i have to say officer sleef is my hero. she saved my life. the man was within inches of whacking me. it's fine. the bullet went through here and here. >> the agent was shot in the arm but is recovering. investigators san jose they have no idea why white did this as of right now. but they're working to try to figure that out today. >> in the week ahead today virginia state delegate joe more see will announce he wants to run for state senate in the june democratic primary. he recently served jail time for his relationship with his teenage receptionist. jesse morgan is facing charges for the abduction of uva student

hannah graham. thursday he'll face a preliminary hearing in that case. the sun will be out later. right now, check it out. that flag is blowing in the wind. it's a chilly and breezy start on this sunday. veronica johnson is timing out when you'll start to feel things warm up. a war memorial in south carolina now creating a new divide. an emotional meeting decades in the making. a woman never met her secret brother. only on news 4, two siblings become acquainted for the very first time.

back at 6:40. in a come-from-behind win, benjamin netanyahu was re-elected this week. now the president says the u.s.

will take another look at their relationship with israel. >> joining us is moderator of "meet the press" chuck todd to talk about this less than two days after winning, netanyahu softening his position on there being a palestinian state on his clock or not being on his clock. it doesn't seem like the president has been swayed by this. >> not at all. >> he said he takes him at his word of what he said before the election. >> he said no no no what you said before the polls closed. the president is sending a pretty not-so-subtle message that the united states is no longer going to protect israel at the united nations. i think that was clearly in the interview with "huffington post," he's saying if there's not going to be direct negotiations between the israelis and palestinians then you're going to have to do something else. the only other something else is allowing the united nations to dictate the terms of a two-state solution. the united states has stopped that effort in previous attempts that europeans and others have

tried to do that. he's basically signaling that's not going to happen unless something dramatic changes in netanyahu's behavior. >> chuck, when we look at this and the implications what does that mean can republicans then swoop in and take some of these jewish voters? >> i think there will be some people who will do that. the person in a real box right now the hillary clinton. the overall jewish vote is still -- barack obama got 71% of the jewish vote. while that was the lowest a democratic candidate has gotten in a long time that's an enormous percentage. hillary clinton more popular with jewish voters than barack obama was. she's got to walk this line of being supportive of israel at the same time putting pressure. there's a lot of more liberal jewish voters upset with netanyahu and who don't mind president obama is talking tough. she's in the bigger box. republicans are very comfortable with their position.

>> you mentioned hillary clinton, so i have to bring up 2016. we're hearing rumblings that ted cruz is going to announce he's running for president in virginia. >> all indications, yes. >> why virginia and what are you hearing there? >> virginia is not the important setting, it's liberty university a christian conservative university. at the time cruz his path to the nomination he believes is best done through evangelical voters. mike huckabee is probably the most popular among evangelical voters because he's run for president before. he may not have the resources. ted cruz may have more resources to fight on that turf. to me that's the signal he's sending, announcing at liberty, this has nothing to do with virginia and everything to do with evangelicals. he wants to be the candidate. if he can tie the tea party and evangelicals that's two groups that might be big enough to at least make him a major player in the nomination.

i think he's going to have company in that fight for evangelical voters. >> chuck todd thank you so much. >> busy morning. >> yes. >> we love it. >> you can see "meet the press" every sunday on nbc4 right after "news 4 today." president obama praising the university of oklahoma for its response to a racist fraternity video. two students on the video were immediately expelled. the president says the university's response shows progress in race relations. he told the "huffington post" there might have been more tolerance for that type of chant 30 or 40 years ago. a town in south carolina is divided over a war memorial honoring those who fought and died. nbc's mark potter shows us the controversial way soldiers are being remembered and what's being done about it today. >> reporter: on main street an aging war memorial honors the fallen from world wars 1 and ii korea and vietnam, reflecting

the nation's segregationist past, it lists the dead from greenwood as either white or colored which for those seeing it in 2015 a shot. >> this is sad, isn't it? >> i grew up here when i see it in black and white, it just it bothers me. >> reporter: it also bothers deeply the mayor of greenwood, will burn adams who leads a town that's 42% black. >> the term colored is offensive to me. >> reporter: arguing that whites and blacks fought and died and should be honored together mayor adams raised $15,000 to build new blacks with all the dead listed alphabetically not by race. >> i don't think main street is a place where you should be glorifying segregation. >> reporter: today those plaques still sit in the mayor's office after he learned a state law prohibits changing historical
