can't hang on any longer. >> reporter: a brigham city worker now being called a savior. >> i come around the corner and i seen something floating. >> thomas says he just happened to be at the right place at the right time. >> all i could do was watch her. i couldn't go out there. i couldn't get any closer so immediately i called 911. >> i just thought i hope i don't fall through. >> reporter: brad nelson shows up about eight minutes later with help. >> i knew she needed to get out, and i knew i had a piece of equipment that was pretty much her only chance. >> she got it? >> she was able to grab a hold of the device and pull herself up. >> i can't stand. >> a rescue that officer nelson says that was nothing short of a miracle because usually -- >> there's not a lot of people back here. >> by chance, luck, fate, whatever you want to call it. >> how did she even call? >> he did. he found her. >> are you kidding me?

>> thomas was there. >> normally my rounds are done by 8:00. >> but this morning was a little different. this morning he was running late. >> i decided to sleep in a little bit. >> reporter: he says it's the hands of time that likely saved three lives today because someone was there to call 911. >> had i come earlier and done my rounds and been home she would have been dead. >> no way you should have survived that. >> i don't think she should be alive today. there is definitely someone watching out for her. and rescuers say that woman was in the frigid water for 20 minutes. when news 4 at 5:00 starts now with jim and pat. and right now at 5:00, nasty, wet and cold. that's what we're dealing with across the area. i'm doug kammerer. we're tracking rain and you better get used to pictures like this for the next couple of days. the man jumping the fence at the white house is walking out

of court. i'm meagan fitzgerald. i spoke to the attorney of the suspect about why he jumped the fence and what message he was trying to send. >> pat lawson muse. this is chris gordon, is it a long process to find an impartial jury in the first baltimore police trial related to the death of freddie gray or is it moving along quicker than you might think? this is chris gordon, i'll have the report ahead on news 4 at 5:00. and first up, we begin our storm team 4 coverage and a look at the wet, messy roads out there and that always means a terrible commute. how about it? >> and get used to this. the radar will look like this for a while and we aren't even close to seeing the end of the rain and it's pretty miserable out there and chief meteorologist doug kammerer is tracking this for us and how about the misery factor? >> i'll tell you, we had such a great week last week including

thanksgiving and we told you the sunshine we saw last week would go away and we saw nothing, but cloud cover and that's what we'll see not only today, but right on through the day tomorrow and wednesday, too. take a look at this and this is the bigger story here and it's raining with temperatures that are in the 30s and 37 in leesburg and 37 down toward culpeper and so very cold numbers continuing with the rain. so it is a very dreary, very chilly afternoon across our region and you notice the heaviest rain down to southern maryland and down to the potomac and we're seeing drizzle across the area so the roads will continue to be on the wet side and it will continue to be slow going as you move on out and slow going from raleigh all of the way to d.c. and more rain likely not just today and tomorrow, but wednesday is the day when we could see heavier rain. we'll continue to break it down for you and i've got the latest forecast coming up at 5:25. >> thank you, doug.
