bernardino. police know who the man is and is hoping he turns himself in. the girls were not badly injured. and amelia segal in with a look at the forecast for today and the weekend. >> well, aaron, mostly cloudy skies today. temperatures warm to only 80. you can see it forecast what the clouds will look throughout the day. we're in the mid to upper 70s. we hit our high temperature at 3:00 this afternoon. the suburbs near 80. washington in the low 80s. maybe a late-day shower. most if not all of your day though is going to stay dry. not the case tomorrow. heavy rain in the forecast. and potentially some high winds. i'll have more on that in ten minutes, but right now you have updates to the crash in washington? >> updates on this crash here in the district. i just spoke with police they're saying that all lanes are opened, westbound, southeast/southwest freeway, the crash at 11th street bridge. you still have a lot of delays if you're headed into town on
