severe side. hail damaging wind gust an isolated weak tornado can't be ruled out. on storm team 4 radar, the area is try right now but there's a severe thunderstorm watch for parts of western virginia ohio up into pennsylvania allegheny and mineral counties under that severe thunderstorm watch until 10:00 p.m. this evening. no storms in our area tonight but it will be this line of storms ahead of this cold front that moves through tomorrow afternoon and evening. temperatures in the 40s and 50s. 50 degrees in washington. it's chilly and damp outside. tomorrow starting off the day, temperatures very similar to where they are right now. near steady temperatures for the most part overnight tonight. some fog and some showers to contend with tomorrow morning. the midday hours the best chance of dry time. temperature around 70 degrees. so we really soar. 81 at 3:00 p.m. that's our high. storms west of the district at that point, and by 7:00 p.m. storms have moved through washington and are beginning to

dinner. >> reporter: it's not unusual for mark few to get home around 8:00 every night. after a long day he's happy to have this package waiting for him. >> i'm ready to kind of relax and eat. >> reporter: this is dinner delivered to his door but it's not fast food. it's raw ingredients ready to cook. meal services like this one are a growing trend. >> sometimes i work a little late so it's just nice to have it. >> reporter: curiosity got the most of us. we wanted to know how it works, what it costs, and how it might compare to the grocery store. so we signed up for a national service online called blue apron and compared it to a local company scratch d.c. blue apron was delivered to my producer's home and scratch d.c. delivered to my office because my producer's home is out of its delivery range. scratch d.c. delivers one meal a day for two people. blue apron delivers three meals for two people in one box. so we could compare price, we bought three meals from scratch

d.c. inside scratch d.c.'s box everything needed to make the meal down to the salt and pepper. fresh jalapeno olive oil. bacon. inside the blue apron box. baby spinach, two bags of parsley, mint lemon, water spinach. like an individual celery stalk and carrot. flank steak knickknacks. everything seems to be packaged pretty well. now it's time to start cooking. with blue apron we chopped. okay. never cooked with rutabaga and it's not the most pliable vegetable. we found there's not as much prep work with scratch d.c. this is already sliced for us. this is our bacon. it's already rolled out for us. and it came with home baked cookies. in terms of price, there was a noticeable difference. blue apron cost us about $40 as

first-time customers, about $60 after that. scratch d.c. cost us nearly $100. we wondered what these ingredients would cost at a grocery store. we took a stroll through the aisles and aed it up for two of the six recipes. ingredients for blue apron soup recipe cost about $10,. blue apron says if you shop for its meals at the grocery store on average it will cost 60% more. scratch d.c.'s ginger garlic stir fry with beef sirloin for two cost about the same as the grocery store. so why does it cost more for three meals from scratch d.c.? it told us the boxed meals are a premium products with locally sourced ingredients and its small staff spends a lot of time chopping ingredients to save customers time. blue apron told us it does not preprepare any ingredients to ensure they arrive at peak

freshness. and it doesn't include olive oil and salt perp because it assumes customers have them. as for marq he's not giving up the convenience anytime soon. >> i've been doing it for a year and enjoy it. >> one difference with the deliveries blue apron came with ice and because scratch d.c. delivered to the office it didn't. but it tells us that you can request a cooler. i posted all the links to some companies, a bunch of different names of some other companies aside from the ones that we used in our story on our consumer watch facebook page. you be the judge. you take a look and see what best fits your lifestyle. pat, chris, back to you. >> thanks. now some stories we're working on right now in our newsroom. getting things moving. we'll tell you about the big plans that could help aleveleviate some places in our area that have become known as traffic nightmares. and why was an animal long on the endangered species list on hand at a government building today?
