told police she was taking a shower and she noticed a guy recording her with her cell phone, but he ran off when she screamed at him. she didn't get a good look. deadly violence in prince george's county and police want to know more about suitland at 2:00 this morning. they found a man outside shot to death just a couple of blocks from dupont heights park. investigators don't think the shooting was a random ak, but they don't have a suspect or a motive. i'm julie carey at the fairfax county courthouse where the mother of charles severance testified for the prosecution. charles severance was charged with the murders of three alexandria residents. nichols has a different last name now, but on the witness stand used the name she had in 1999 when she discovered she was pregnant she told him she would

raise the baby himself or he could co-parent. for a brief time they lived together in alexandria, but trouble surfaced quickly and before their son was even a year old, she'd moved out taking the baby with her. nichols testified she soon won sole custody of the child. prosecutors believe severance's anger and bitterness over that custody battle is what led to a deep-seeded hatred of police ask the courts. they believe it served as his motive to kill. when i join you on news 4 at 5:00, what severance had to say in the many letters he sent to nichols and her son. in fairfax county, i'm julie carey, news 4. it has been a very tense day after word of a potential threat. we found more police officers outside walt whitman high school, but classes go on as scheduled. someone posted a threat on social media targeting the school in bethesda. school police are working with investigators to find the source.

>> some local school districts are starting to postpone or cancel flu vaccine clinics because of manufacturing delays. our news partners the wtop says the company that makes the flumist nasal spray tweaked the vaccine to make it more effective and ended up with a strain that grew much more slowly than effective. anne arundel schools changed their schedules because the flumist supplies hadn't got there yet. other districts will do the same. and now your storm team 4 forecast. >> a pretty nice day across the region and temperatures are cooler than they were and still a nice day. yesterday, we were ten degrees above average and today right around average and even below in some areas and look at the high temperatures so far and only 63 the high so far in hagerstown. >> we did hit 70 in washington and 72 down toward fredericksburg so nearly a 10-degree temperature difference from north to south across the

a prediction today from researchers here in the u.s. spring could come three weeks earlier over the next century and according to a new report it's all due to current climate changes. is also means an earlier end to winter and that may not sound so bad for folks who don't like the cold, but experts believe having warmer weather sooner in the year could have dire consequences for farmers and wild life. veronica? >> from noaa, their climate prediction center right now, we're expecting slightly above-average temperatures and let's take a look at the rain and snow outlook and this is for december, january and february. the areas that you're seeing in green, slightly above average and not just snowfall, but also rainfall. that really is the key here that we're thinking that as we make our way through these winter

months all these areas here in green, but again that means not just snow and it also means rainfall. it all depends on in terms of how much snow we're going to get and how much cold air we're going to get and right now we have near-average temperatures and that would mean we'll be around the 40s for this time period of december through february. the deal is tomorrow, noaa will put out a more detailed forecast on the winter outlook and we'll have that coming up. as far as the next couple of days we've got a lot of blue and those temperatures overnight will take a dip and the coldest air of the season set to move in this weekend where it will feel a lot like november. doug has the hard numbers coming up in our extended forecast in a few minutes. >> hey, a boost this afternoon for development in downtown lovitzville, virginia, and the retail broke ground on its brand new lovitzville square. the retail center will be located on berlin pike in the heart of the town and it will feature eight or nine retailers

kind of attention is a positive sign. >> maybe some will think we did okay tonight. >> he did his job calling for socialism, free healthcare, free college. >> i believe in a society where all people do well, not just a handful of billionaires. >> reporter: and in a special debate moment sanders threw clinton a lifeline. >> the american people are sick and tired of hearing about your damn emails. >> thank you. >> watching from back in washington was joe biden said democrats who love the vice president to go up against hillary clinton. >> reporter: the democrats debate again in a month and republicans in two weeks. live in henderson, nevada, i'm steve handelsman, news 4. >> thanks to two big, vents and music is filling the halls of the white house today. it started with first lady michelle obama welcoming 60 local middle school students. they took part in a special interactive work shop called a celebration of song. they wrote and performed their own songs and they even had a chance to sit down with some big

tweet us. my twitter.com/doug kammerer. if you like it, if you don't like it and if you're looking for something else and even if you need a personal forecast and take a look across our region and sun and clouds and current temperatures winds out of the northwest at about 13 miles per hour. they've been a little breezy this afternoon and again in the shade with the breeze it's a little cool, but not bad. this is a pretty nice afternoon especially when you consider this is the average high temperature for this time of year right around 69 and much cooler to the north and 62 in hagerstown and 74 toward charlottesville and 69 degrees towards fredericksburg and very nice for mid-october and as we move on through the next couple of days and it will feel like november coming up for the weekend and no rain, storm team 4 radar is all clear and we don't have a chance of rain. watch this, watch what happens when i widen out here and not a cloud in the sky from portland, oregon. we have the jet stream that you

can track it and make it all of the way down across our region and cooler than average temperatures across the great lakes and our next storm system comes down and cools things down for the weekend and overnight low temperatures tonight, they'll be cool, and 43 in gaithersburg and maybe the jacket early, 56 degrees at this time around 8:00 with that sunshine and 64 by noon and rather nice weather again tomorrow afternoon and nice for october is what we're saying here and notice the difference here. 68 degrees by your friday and most of the day friday looks dry. look at saturday and sunday, high temperatures in the mid to upper 50s and low temperatures around 40 degrees on sunday morning and that's in the city, most of you will be close to freezing and i would not be surprised to see a couple of freeze or frost advisories coming up this weekend and veronica has more on that in a few minutes. >> i knew those 70s would be too good to be true. >> federal agents are following

authorities say chapo's sinaloa cartel is the supplier of illicit drugs to the united states. the u.s. is doing all it can to capture the elusive chapo who always seems to be one step ahead of them. mark potter, nbc news, miami. if you want to have a healthier, taller baby you might want to aim to deliver your baby in the summer. >> well, i've got two in july and it hasn't done a lick of good. for those managing some more serious health issues, why red wine can help. we'll be right back.

right now that water main break is still creating a nightmare for commuters on busy

rockville pike. a section of the pike in bethesda will not be fully open until after this evening's rush. crews are still working to fix the road more than 24 hours after the water main break. and we're telling you about a family tragedy in waldorf, maryland, where a house fire claimed the life of a 6-year-old boy and his grandmother. the fire broke out on popular hill road just after midnight and four other family members were able to escape the flames. the treasury secretary is meeting with students at the university of maryland. he's holding a town hall there to talk about putting a woman on the $10 bill. lewis is taking some of the students' ideas on which historic woman could replace hamilton. the new bill won't be in circulation until the year 2020. sunshine, comfortable conditions today, but are you ready for cold? right around the corner some cold air will be moving in. first let's talk about your

evening and we've had light wind today and that wind continues to settle on down and you probably noticed some of those fuzzy clouds and there was a possibility of a sprinkle earlier and we just lost our chance of seeing our sprinkle squeeze out of any of those clouds and the wind will continue to diminish and our temperatures drop down to the low 60s and by 8:00, keep that in mind if you'll be going out cycling this evening and i still think perfect for football and some of the practice going on this evening and for thursday and friday, high school football, absolutely perfect, but it is going to turn chilly on friday. keep that in mind, and you might want to grab extra cover out there and a sweatshirt for the game and doug has more on what to expect this weekend in just a few minutes. his bloody arrest led to renewed scrutiny at virginia's abc officers. a uva student is speaking publicly about his run-in with the officers and he's talking about how it changed his life.

wendy rieger is in the newsroom. marquise johnson says the scars on his head and his face may remain for the rest of his life and part of an op o-ed that was published in vanity fair. pictures of his bloody face went viral. johnson who grew up in chicago said his sense that education and success would be his sanctuary was shaken at that moment, but he ends the letter focusing on trying to move past the ordeal by saying, quote, every morning i look in the mirror and am forced to relive the trauma that was the morning of march 18, 2015. i know that if my head hit the pavement differently that night i could be dead. now a fourth year at the university of virginia i am determined to be the first in my family to graduate successfully from a four-year university, and i believe that this generation of americans can surpass my efforts and take proactive steps in their communities to deter an

epidemic that rages rampant throughout the united states. all charges against johnson from that night were dropped and the officers who arrested him are back on the job after an investigation cleared them of wrongdoing. back to you. >> thanks, wendy. d.c. police are hoping someone will get a look at this surveillance video and recognize the two robbers. >> you can see them knocking someone to the ground and stealing their backpack. it happened outside a complex. >> i'm mark segraves in northeast washington. for years the district government has been housing hundreds of homeless families at the d.c. general shelter as well as at hotels around the region and the plan to move them to shelters and permanent housing is well under way. it's called rapid rehousing. this is one of the apartment buildings where they relocated some of those families. they invited us inside to show us their living conditions which

they say are unbearable and are making their children sick. coming up at 5:00, you'll hear from the mothers who say they'd rather be back at d.c. general and you'll hear what the city plans to do. >>. >> one of the most fascinating things i found is there were topics that crossed over the two republican debates and there were also things that we hadn't heard candidates really get into in detail. troy johnson here with our talk around town. >> one came from a young african-american man who asked do black lives matter or do all lives matter? >> this is a huge question. the folks were pleased that i spoke with about the debate and their kitchen table issues were front and center last night and that gets to the black lives matter movement. people were saying this is a defining moment for black lives matter. during this race to the white house because now all of the

protests and all of the dialogue, all of the conversations on social media in the wake of the deaths of michael brown, eric garner, sandra bland. now it's paying off because candidates are paying attention and they're forcing their hand and making them address some of these things and one person said they're supporting hillary clinton that i talked to, but they were impressed by the way bernie sanders passionately talked about this. he mentioned sandra bland. he was firm when he said black lives matter and also talked about combatting institutional racism. these are all things that were really resonating with folks they talked to, the things that they want to hear addressed and that means it's going to have to be talked about when you get to the republicans next year. >> speaking of bernie sanders, you've got a man up there saying i'm a socialist and i'm proud of it. income inequality is a topic that will come up and be debated. what were your listeners saying about that? >> this is something they deal with every day. they're people that are feeling

like -- we are the disappearing middle class. we're those folks that people were discussing last night. the unemployment rate for blacks is still above 9%, wages are still stagnant for decades and people are still wondering how are they going to get ahead? but the other underlying theme that i heard from folks is they were concerned about their kids, as well. the unemployment rate for young people, 24% and if kids are supposed to be working and then trying to go to school with rising costs of college and all of those things seemed to tie in and it was something that they want to see these candidates address well. >> let me ask you this, because this is something that's been coming up from my facebook page from people posting. were your listeners looking for someone who looked and sounded presidential or were they just looking to hear things that they liked? >> i get the impression from the folks that i talk to that right now it's kind of early. they want to see people speaking to real issues.

again, a lot of people in the post-analysis si that what you saw in comparison to some of the republican debates was a much more substantive conversation about some real issues that cover all types of folks. they need -- they want to see more than that. they like the fact that you have that kind of dialogue going on and hopefully the next phase will be some answers to some of these questions that are being raised. >> and to be fair, they're operating with half the people on stage that the republicans did. republicans, they have a much tougher time to do that with so many people. >> you didn't see the sniping and the barbs and stuff like that. >> not as many people had to stand out as well, though. >> true. >> it all plays into the numbers. >> troy johnson, thank you very much. pat? >> salad scare. a major recall today from dole. tens of thousands of bags of spinach recalled. >> and u.s. airways is about to all, but slip into airline history. we'll tell you

your forecast for today looking pretty good. a nice afternoon nowhere near the numbers we saw yesterday. we were near 80 degrees yesterday and very warm and mild this time of year. today much cooler and only 62 in hagerstown and 61 in d.c. and fredericksburg. it's still a nice day and a nice

afternoon and you probably won't need the jackets this afternoon and you did this morning and you'll need it again tomorrow morning. 44 in the summer and 54 in the city. mostly sunny, cool and dry and it gets colder as we head into the weekend. >> high temperatures only in the 50s. so we'll be 10 degrees cooler than we are today and that's both saturday and sunday. lows near freezing in the suburbs. we fully expect to see the potential for a freeze or frost in our region and definitely feeling a lotmore like november. get out the coats and if you think about hitting the pumpkin patch this week en, the coats will be a necessity. >> thanks, doug. >> an item you have in your fridge right now may be part of an important recall. dole is recalling bagged spinach because it may put you at rick of salmonella poisoning and they are enjoyed by a date of october 15th and they were sold in 13 states including maryland. so far no one has reported getting sick from all of this and salmonella can cause

infections with people with weakened immune systems. >> that could cause problems for a lot of travelers. the airline has merged with american airlines and on saturday the combined airline is going to move to one website, one mobile app in a single reservation system all under the american airlines name. the new company says it's ready, but if previous mergers are any indication there could be rapid delays and cancellations. they are operating out of terminals b and c and they're putting up new signs to help travelers get around. a local craft brewery is being honored this afternoon for its success in business. maryland comptroller peter schvolley awarded them. it served european-style laggers and american-style ales among others. he has been an outspoken advocate for microbreweries,

microdistilleries and wineries. >> this thanksgiving could be awkward for one family. why a woman says she sued her nephew for something he did when he was 8 years old. celebrities and athletes come together for well

10 degrees cooler by then and it will start to feel cool by morning. you will need an extra jacket heading out the door and manassas, 45 degrees and 45, mount erie and frederick and we'll start to see lower and lower temperatures coming up over the next couple of days. what to wear the first thing out the door, not only a jacket, a warmer jacket and maybe a sweater will be in order for tomorrow and it will still be a bright day so you can go with the sunglasses and the long pants and the kids have to put those short pant away now. we are seeing our temperatures hit the 60-degree mark by tomorrow, and it looks like it will be a nice day as we go from cool conditions and seasonable, and just slightly below average our high temps tomorrow and 55 pax river and 66 the high, and not a bad day coming up and we'll probably wish that we had that this upcoming weekend because it is going to feel a lot like november and the reason that our temperatures are going

to drop so much is because on friday there will be a front coming through our area and hard to tell coming with the future weather and barely anything in the way of any rain and maybe a sprinkle or shower during the afternoon hours and fredericksburg and leonardtown and cold air will be moving in and will be bringing us more fall color and sending this into i see@nbcwashington.com and nice fall color coming up and we had that with our cool nights and warm days and we peak color coming in the high spots of western maryland and west virginia and now in terms of what we can expect this weekend and a lot of you are heading out to the pumpkin farms and apple orchards again. 50s and that's it for high temperatures and we talked about this yesterday, just how cool it is going to be coming up sunday morning with temperatures coming out in the 30s. sunday morning, monday morning as well as a tuesday morning. you're going to need a heavier jacket. we'll talk more about the

impacts of the cold air coming up at 5:00. >> maureen mcdonnell's corruption case appeal is on hold this afternoon. a federal appeals court made the move while the supreme court decides whether to review the conviction of former virginia governor bob mcdonnell. his lawyers say he was convicted on an overbroad definition of acts that puts all elected officials on risk of prosecution. he was doing favors for businessman in exchange for loans and gifts. right now well wishes are coming in from all over the country for former nba star lamar odom. he was found last night in a brothel outside las vegas unconscious. nbc's jay gray updates us with his condition. >> reporter: balls it out, lamar, and the slam! >> reporter: a former nba and reality tv star lamar odom is now fighting for his life at a
