we have been celebrating our mothers and tonight's my turn to share the story of my mom, rita o'flynn. i grew up in arlington, and so did she. >> my mother was born in mississippi. she was just a toddler when her parents moved up here in 1940.

jobs were scarce in their hometown. she was an only child for six years before her brother, pat jr. came along. they lived in south arlington. my mother went to washington and lehigh school at the same time as future movie star shirley maclaine and warren beatty. my mother did some modeling. she was on the cannes department store teen board in high school. that's her on the top left in this swimsuit ad. she won a beauty pageant, miss posture from the washington times herald. i'm afraid i never live edd up to her expectations in the posture category. mom headed off to madison college after high school an all girls' school then where coeds were advised to bring a nice hat and gloves for the tea parties. soon she left college, returned to d.c. got a job, apartment and she was married to my dad.

she was a mother of three at age 23. no wonder she looks a little loopy in some of the old home movies. she must have been exhausted. she went all in on the homemaker mom program for a time. she was my brownie troop leader. that's her on the left. she was a room mother and cub scout leader all that stuff but eventually realized she wanted to work outside the home just as her own mother had. that began a series of interesting administrative jobs with the federal government. the old civil service commission capitol hill the pentagon. she worked at the national security council at the same time all that iran-contra stuff was happening and lived in vee ena vienna austria. she and my dad split up before their 20th anniversary. she continued her career but never remarried. she's still living in arlington

at an assisted facility where she just celebrated her birthday. 37 again, she would tell you. >> your mom's adorable. she was a babe back in the day. >> she was a babe back in the day. i was just over today giving a special screening of that program to her and some of her residents at the assisted living. >> she was a movie star again? >> yes, yes. big day for her. >> that's wonderful. >> all the way around. we hope that people will join us as we celebrate mother's day here at nbc 4. join us for a special program. wendy, veronica johnson, pat lawson-muse, wendy and angie goff join us. >> we had a good time. >> daughters have a different take on their mothers than our brothers would. it's interesting.

wind. we have some things coming our way, though. that storm will move our way. we're not talking about a lot of impact in our region. look at that picture. 10 miles per hour easterly component to the wind will bring us cooler numbers along the chesapeake. 75 annapolis, 75 putuxon river. look at the rest of the area everybody near that 80-degree mark for the sixth day in a row. storm team 4 radar is dry. a few clouds making their way in. look to the south, though. showers and few thunderstorms as a result of ana. back to the west watch what happens here blow-up of these showers and thunderstorms. severe weather. we've already had golf ball sized hail couple of tornadoes reported and tornado warnings continue. this will be going on all night tonight and then again during

the day tomorrow. and then back towards denver to the west here. they'll be talking about eight to 12" of snow. 8 to 16" of snow back toward the mountains. pretty big storm back to the west. for us it is just ana. that's what we're going to be watching. again, it is taking on more tropical characteristics. you can see it's kind of a closed area of low pressure. that's what you need to become tropical. let's go to wrightsville beach towards parts of north carolina. the biggest thing they're dealing with rain over the next 24 to 48 hours and, of course the surf will be way high too. down toward the beach this is weekend, maybe down toward the cape might not be the best weekend to head down there. even over toward our beaches, ocean city. fog during the day today. that can be the case tomorrow too. ana, 35 miles an hour. nearly stationary. moves to our south and east. drier pattern for us. south and west of that storm.

for us not a very big deal as it makes its way out to sea. future weather timing it for us. 8:00 am notice a few showers. crowd cover and, yes, some areas could see some fog. 1:00 shower activity mainly around 95 and off to the east. if you live back to the month s mountains you may see sunshine most of the day. we could see showers throughout the day tomorrow. it's a very slight chance. only a 20% to 30% chance of showers during the day tomorrow. high temperatures tomorrow still on the warm side. 83 in d.c. 84 fredericksburg. and we're only going up over the next few days going 83 to 85 on mother's day. 88 on tuesday. that comes with the frontal boundary. that cold front behind it will bring in some cooler air. 75 on wednesday, back to around average next wednesday, thursday and friday. it is the local tragedy that grabbed the nation's attention. now, special recognition from the vatican for a family lost in

montgomery county customers. that's appalling. >> reporter: indicating for the first time today he wants to privatize all special order alcohol sales, which account for roughly 25,000 different types of beer wine and spirits. the council says it's going to craft potential legislation over the next month and hold another set of hearings mid june. tisha thompson news 4 i-team. >> you can see all the stories that led to this liquor county purchases. head to the investigations page on the nbc washington app. fairfax county's youngest police recruit is making a lot of people smile. this is cj fairfax county police department's newest canine recruit. what a face. 8-week-old bloodhound. right now she's in training with her handler and her blood relative cody. cody is working with officer thieland will retire in about a year. >> cj when fully trained, will

ordinarily anti-discrimination is something all parents can get behind. but tonight in fairfax county some people are outraged by a policy change that means no discrimination towards transgender students and teachers as northern virginia reporter david culver found out, they think many questions about the policy are still unanswered. >> i have never seen so much energy negative or otherwise, in a school board meeting. and i think it reflects the community's passion around this issue. >> ladies i ask you to please respect -- this is a business

meeting. >> the emotion from last night's school board meeting left quite an impression. >> all those in favor. >> ryan mcelveen pre opposed the update. the majority of the board agreed. but he said don't expect any immediate changes. >> nothing new happens today that wasn't happening yesterday. a student can't come in to school and say they identify with another gender and immediately go into another bathroom. what's going to change potentially is we're bringing in a consultant to ensure we're following best practices on these issue. >> aye never left this county and i've never wanted to until last night. >> reporter: she doesn't understand why the vote especially before the board knows how the change will be implemented. >> right there in front of us were our representatives that were voted by our people and completely shut the doors on us. >> the lone opposition to the updatedpolicy, elizabeth shults schultz. >> what message do we send our parents? we want your taxpayer dollars.
