station. stadium armory. only blue line trains will serve stadium armory. there will be fewer trains on the orange and silver lines. so you need to expect sluggish traffic even with more eight car trains added to all three of these lines. when leaving this particular station, you will notice that the trains will move out at a slower accelerated pace. that's because of the limited power they're able to use at the station because of that fire that basically ruined the electrical system here. and back live, you see the stadium armory sign there, a placard below announcing the metro shuttles. metro is offering free shuttles if you travel east of the station between minnesota avenue and new carrollton during the rush hour. free shuttles for you. all of this is metro's plan to try to ease congestion and draw

as limited power as they can because they just simply don't have it at this station because of that fire last week. that is the latest live from outside the stadium armory station. i'm molette green, news 4. this morning, the fairfax county police department is defending the officer in this video. the officer used a taser on a man after he reportedly resisted arrest. the suspect's brother says the use of force was unnecessary. police say elton cansler walk into the sun trust bank and stole a worker's sunglasses. they called police. when the officers confronted cansler, he started to reach into his pocket. police say he was carrying a six inch knife. >> so it is a utility knife, that folds out. >> that's what was -- >> that could be a deadly weapon if he was to get it. >> the tape clearly shows he never reached for it.

their way. i think it is something that will be gone in a day or two. >> he calls what happened unfortunate. papelbon is under contract for $11 million next year. i would want to believe everything cal ripken says. that was, to me, looked terrible the fact they did it in the dugout. >> the images say a lot. i was at the game yesterday. good news is they did win that game. last home game. 5:21. time for weather and traffic on the 1s. chuck bell has more on your forecast. hey, chuck. >> good morning, eun and david. a cloudy and mild start outside this morning. still feels like we're in summer and believe it or not, tropical storm season continues. a brand-new tropical storm off the coast of the florida there, way out to sea. no immediate threat to land, but this is tropical storm joaquin. and the forecast track from the national hurricane center has the storm not moving a whole lot between now and early friday

morning. it is only tuesday. so this is the forecast track over the next three and a half days. not really going to move too much. it is after that that it gets more interesting for us. the official forecast from the hurricane center never really has the storm making a direct landfall, though it certainly could along the outer banks or tide water, virginia, as we get to late saturday or into early sunday. the timing on this is going to be very tricky because that storm sits so still for most of the next couple of days. we'll be watching that very carefully. long ahead of that, it is going to be cloudy and wet around here for several days before that storm even becomes a factor. already cloudy skies and rain across southwestern virginia. those are the rain drops which will impact the ride home more than the ride in today. current temperatures are mild in the upper 60s and low 70s. so a little wet roads and reduced visibility this morning. a yellow light this morning. yellow light for chances for rain around lunch time and by later this afternoon, into this

letters to mercedes-benz, jaguar, land rover, suzuki, tesla, volvo, volkswagen and spartan motor asking which models used the parts. the air bags can explode with too much force. eight people died and hundreds have been injured. the clock is ticking when it comes to the government shutdown. what lawmakers must do before midnight tomorrow. something most of you probably aren't big fans of. taxes. unless you live in maryland. ruling there that might change how you feel. it is 71 degrees, a bit muggy too. what can we expect in the hours ahead? chuck has your forecast at 5:31.
