a weather alert day. let's get the latest from chief meteorologist doug cammerer, what's it doing outside right now? >> it's a very chilly, rainy afternoon. >> tomorrow will be completely different. look at the numbers, right now we're only in the 30s. 37 in frederick. 43 in d.c. tomorrow we'll be close to 60 degrees and that will set the stage for what could be a very stormy day. out there now we do have the shower activity, frederick, around the leesburg area, even in d.c. seeing areas of drizzle. we'll continue to watch this as we move on through the rest of the evening. but right now we're seeing fairly steady rain around the city of frederick. leesburg, brunswick, franklin, fulton counties under a freezing rain advisory, so heads up in those areas. that's in pennsylvania. but this is the storm coming our way. and look how strong this storm is, tornado watches and warnings down to the south. this system moves our way. the severe weather threat is real

we'll talk more about that in just a couple of minutes. well with a weather alert coming tomorrow, make sure you have the nbc washington app. download it to track the storm as it approaches your house. we're following developments in the case against the teacher's aide accused of making child pornography in prince george's county. now he's facing federal charges. our bureau chief tracee wilkins is in greenbelt where prosecutors just described this case as particularly disturbing. tracee? >> absolutely. they say any time a child is a victim of a crime it is an egregious crime. in this case we're talking about a man who was in a position of authority. who took advantage of children. we now have details from the feds that he actually forced kids inside the school, forced them to have sex with him by making threats. and formed a club, having the children believing what they were doing is okay. here are the details we now have in this case.

22-year-old deonte carroway who was a volunteer, but once as a teacher's aide appeared to have free rein in the school and at times would get kids out of class, take them to other places within the school and perform sexual acts or have them perform sexual acts, with one another or with him. he videotaped a lot of it and it has led to eight counts of charges from the feds and we found out today that the prince george's state's attorney's office was able to indict him with charges dealing with one victim in prince george's county. they're expecting more victims to come forward and to have more charges soon for deeonte carroway. >> what's significant about this federal charge is number one, it carry as maximum sentence of life on each count. but more significantly, each count of production of child pornography

minimum sentence of 15 years in federal prison. if the defendant were convicted on the eight federal charges filed today, he would face a minimum of 120 years or effectively a life sentence in federal prison. >> the u.s. state's attorney, prince george's county's maryland's state's attorney and also the chief they all wrapped up the press conference in this building behind me a few minutes ago. we learned that carroway confessed to the fbi. coming up on news4 at 5:00, we'll tell you what he had to say. reporting live in greenbelt. tracee wilkins, back to you. >> thank you, tracee. last-minute appeals in nevada from the man who wants the republican nomination for president, going to show you a live look right now at the las vegas strip where odds are that donald trump will win the caucuses. recent polls suggest ted cruz coming in second, marco rubio third. there are indications that r

nevada is the first contest in the state with the large latino population. trump is urging supporters to participate. although he says he's not a big fan of caucuses. cruz is getting cheers for championing gun rights, opposing amnesty for undocumented immigrants and for supporting abolishing the irs. john kasich of ohio has been campaigning in virginia where he got criticism because he supports defunding planned parenthood. kasich responds by saying at least someone is listening. well this time next week voters will be heading to the polls in virginia. and senator bernie sanders held a rally in norfolk today as polls show him trailing hillary clinton in the commonwealth. sanders says clinton has made recent gains by stalg hess message. former president bill clinton will be in virginia tomorrow to campaign for his wife. he has events planned in our area and in richmond. clinton is expected to lay out what's at stake in this election and hows his wife

obama. a developing story right now. a new plan before congress to close the prison at guantanamo bay in cuba. >> many of you watched president obama make the announcement on nbc on the nbc washington app today, about 100 prisoners are housed there, including the mastermind of the september 11th attack. under his plan, the president says some of the detainees would be brought back to the u.s., although he didn't say where. others would be sent to other countries. any plan to close guantanamo faces significant opposition in congress. news4's david culver is the only local tv reporter in havana with a local delegation on an historic trip. he's been getting reaction to the president's plans for guantanamo. >> the news out of washington from president obama certainly making its way down here to havana today. with regards to guantanamo bay. you take guantanamo bay and for some in the cuban government, a former cuban diplomat tellng

even than the embargo for cuba. cubans think the u.s. has occupied that for too long a period. they say to normalize relations between the u.s. and cuba, guantanamo has to be returned to the cuban government. that's certainly the perspective from former cuban diplomats here in havana. we're still here with the delegation from d.c., maryland and virginia. today's focus for them was one of education. kaya henderson, a chancellor of schools in washington, d.c. is focused on touring certain schools here in havana. a secondary school as well as an elementary school. we're going to catch up with her ahead on news4 at 5:00, get her impressions of the education system and what she plans to take back to the u.s. that's ahead in our next hour. we hope to see you then. >> thanks, david. peel across the country are getting ready for protests this afternoon. first at 4:00, taking a stand in the fight between the government and apple. and which tech giant just weighed in in favor of the government? and that radar is covered

the rain and why tomorrow could get interesting.

i think in some pockets, especially late tonight, they're going to drop, so drizzle and fog, 44 for the evening rush, your morning rush is rain. with a temperature not, around much, but 42 degrees. doug has more on the tracking of those severe storms, potentially for tomorrow. coming up. right now, demonstrators are planning a protest outside the fbi's headquarters downtown. one of many demonstrations across the country. supporting apple's refusal to unlock the san bernardino gunman's iphone. protests started at 5:30. microsoft's ceo bill gates is clarifying some remarks he made that many interpreted as his support for the fbi's position in all of this.

remarks were misconstrued. he says he was not supporting one side or the other. he says he believes there needs to be an appropriate balance between security and privacy. tonight gates will appear on the "tonight show" with jimmy fallon. his wife, melinda gates will join him on the show. they're considered the best of the best. we give awe glimpse into which cars give you the best bang for your buck. here's a tip. there's a new car topping the chart. and a scary situation unfolding on metro. one man shot aboard a train. and rushed to the hospital. the big development just announced by police a couple of minutes a

you can't deal with something, by ignoring it. but that's how some presidential candidates seem to be dealing with social security. americans work hard, and pay into it.

trong. (elephant noise) (donkey noise) hey candidates, answer the call already. we're working new details in the breaking news we just told you about. at the top of the hour. metro transit police just tweeted out this picture. this is a surveillance photo of two additional suspects. wanted in connection with the shooting at the anacostia metro station today. >> this is in addition to the two teenagers they already arrested. this shooting struck a nerve with some riders because it's the latest violent incident in the past two weeks. adam tuss is live at the anacostia metro station. some riders see a trend here, but do the transit police see it that way? >> we asked metro transit police if they're going te

more resources in different areas. he mentioned that he was going to be focusing more police officers on trains. take a listen to whey told us. is there any extra effort to have more police officers on trains, physically on trains? >> we are. we're always looking at our process. is it better on the mezzanine, better on the platform, better on the train. we're shifting to see more crime on the trains, we're making an effort to be on the trains. if you're in a six-car train, eight-car train. i could be one car away and the crime occurs the next car over. it's something we constantly got to work at. >> obviously they realize there's a little shift here is what's happening with crime on the system. that more of these things seem to be happening actually with the train and the focus and they're going to be shifting some of their resources there. you heard him say toward the train side of things, moving some officers around. >> so go through again the tactics, the plans that metro transit police have to make pe

safer riding the trains. more transit police? what else do they plan to do? >> well so metro transit police are talking about something to make themselves more visible and on trains and in platforms and in stations. they actually want to change their uniform to make it more of a bright neon color. so that they would be more visible to anybody who is thinking about doing anything bad in the system. so transit police certainly are hearing riders, they're hearing from people that they feel uneasy in the system that they don't necessarily feel as safe as they once did and they're adjusting. you see this with the train tactic and now with their uniforms as well. pat? >> what are the riders telling you about what happened? >> as you can imagine here at the anacostia station, people who, this is their home metro station, when we told them that there was a shooting that had happened here. some had already heard the news, they're uneasy about it. a lot of people will tell you they feel safe riding metro and they feel like transit police are doing what

protect them. but a at the end of the day you've got to have able to get on the train and get off the train and have no incident. metro has been described as moving geography. 750,000 trips a day taken on what is the nation's second busiest subway system and people are moving in every which direction. it's not an easy thing to police, but riders certainly a little uneasy. transit police trying to ease some of those concerns. >> all right. adam tuss, scary day there in anacostia today. thank you. you know we saw adam's live shot. you can see the umbrella and you can see the rain still coming down. people in raincoats walking around behind him. >> doug, tell us what the night is going to be like, and what's the timeline on all the rain that's coming? >> well the rain is going to continue. it's going to be on the light side through early tomorrow morning. then we're going to start to deal with the heavier rain tomorrow. that's when we have the chance for strong to severe storms.

that's our city cam trying to take a look at the city, kind of hard when you're dealing with that much rain across the area. light rain, drizzle that's falling at the airport. 44 degrees, winds out of the north at 12 miles per hour. that makes for a very chilly day. we're in the 30s to the north. only 37 in frederick, with the rain coming down. 42 in fredericksburg. not only is it raining, but it's chilly rain. look at the rain that's coming down the steadiest. we have drizzle around the d.c. area. the radar does not do a good job of picking up that drizzle. here's where the rain is coming down steady along 15, leesburg, up to the frederick area, clarksburg and urbana, to gaithersburg. that was wave number one, we talked about this yesterday, coming in two waves. wave one coming through today. wave two coming in through tomorrow. look at this storm. this is a sprengingtime storm, march, april, may type storm happening in the month of february. el nino fueling this storm. look at the signature, the curve of the storm. the spin of the storm. br

new orleans, under the gun now for a pretty severe tornado threat day. that's what they're going to be watching. for us, that threat comes in tomorrow afternoon. tomorrow morning, just the showers. they'll continue to be out there during the morning hours. so take the umbrella. by 9:00, just about everybody starting to get back in on the action. and then at 11:00, we start to see heavier showers making their way in here. but the real heavy stuff doesn't come in until late in t afternoon. around 1:00, notice everything is green here, the light to moderate rain. here comes the heavy rain. around 4:00. these could be with some thunderstorms so we could see some incredibly heavy rain. we could see strong winds. that's something else we'll be watching. even around 6:00 and around the 8:00 hour, still watching for that your weather impacts for tomorrow, tornado threat, it's not way down. it's actually pretty far up for especially for this time of year. between low and medium. that's something we're going to be watching, especially down in the southern zones. high winds definitely a factor there in the flood watch is already in effect.

pretty significant impact with this system, too. now next couple of days, we really start to clear out. tomorrow is the real stormy day, we go to 51 on thursday, but falling temperatures and look at friday, cold, high of 39. wind chills in the upper 20s. all day. so a little bit of a roller coaster over the next few days. thanks, doug. if you have kids in college, it's a parent's worst nightmare. the scary situation that unfolded in a residence hall at a very popular university here in our area. getting the most for your money, from cost to safety, we're going to tell you which cars are topping the list first at 4:00.

"consumer reports" recently tested 200 cars in ten categories this year a korean c m

the kia sorrento is the "consumer reports" 2016 top pick, mid-sized suv. for years, toyota has won this category, but the sorrento has overtaken it. >> it's got a powerful engine. it does great in crash tests, it's very strong reliability. and the great thing is you get inside of it, and it feels luxurious, it feels like you've spent a whole lot more money than you actually did. >> toyota did earn two spots on the list, the camera, among mid-sized cars and the toyota siena in minivans. >> to be a "consumer reports" top pick a vehicle needs to drive beautifully. have a strong record of reliability. it needs to be a car that makes its owners happy and it needs to be safe. >> subaru nabbed two spots, impresidenta in small cars and forester for small suvs. >> we like subarus because they're super practical. really fuel-efficient and for such small cars on the outside, they feel really large on the inside. >> only two american cars made the list this year.

large cars, and the ford f-150 among pickups. >> ford took a really big gamble by switching its f-150 from steel to aluminium construction, it paid off with better fuel economy and acceleration and in crack tests it fared elreally well. >> and the mazda mx-5 earns the top spot for sports cars. >> the miata is totally inpractical. but it's fun. >> two more "consumer reports" top picks round out the list, the honda fit and the lexus rx for luxury suv. but the lexus is going to cost you more. i love the little miata. it's so cute. >> it's so interesting to see hyundai, kia. they're really improved from where they were ten years ago. >> 100%. and the crash tests are also huge for those cars.

and also they're economical. >> all important. thank you, susan. well the royal family could be in for a labor strike. why the staff at palace could just walk off the job. and we're in for a messy tuesday afternoon, as storm team 4 tracks the rain. we're also tracking the potential problems for tomorrow. doug and veronica will update the forecast first at 4:00.

hagerstown, frederick, leesburg. if you're not getting the scattered rain showers, it's just kind of drizzly and damp. and there's pockets of fog. that will be a factor overnight. especially early tomorrow morning. check out the numbers. watch them drop. as we head through the overnight and into early part of the day tomorrow. there's 7:00 a.m. when you're seeing the zero, that's under a mile and down to a zero many locations, leesburg, .6, under a mile. just about everywhere throughout the area for early tomorrow morning. i don't think our fog starts to lift or improve until we get to maybe 11:00 a.m. to the mid-day hour. at least we just have showers for the morning rush, not the stormy conditions i'm expecting tomorrow afternoon. after 2:00 and 3:00 tomorrow afternoon and up until at least maybe 8:00. potentially 9:00, with the storms coming through, 58 degrees. i think by the time the kids get off the bus tomorrow morning. so as you might imagine whether we'll have a high impact on the day, wet throughout the day

severe thunderstorms coming through the area in the afternoon. here's a look at tomorrow morning. there's 9:00 a.m. just some showers coming through. 2:00, warrenton, fredericksburg. charlottesville with heavy storms, intense storms coming through with winds that could be over 40, maybe even 50 miles per hour. i think there may be a handful of severe thunderstorm warnings issued throughout the day tomorrow. and even the potential for some flash flooding. rainfall amounts, we're expecting over two, generally one to two. on top of the half-inch that we've already received today. so out the door tomorrow morning, grab the big umbrella. by the afternoon heading home you're going to have to hold on to that tight. again, sky conditions throughout the day, there's a look at the snapshot of 4:00 p.m. tomorrow. with the storms coming through our area. temperatures will continue to rise. i think as we get into the 7:00, 8:00 hour, it's not until late in the day when the temperatures start cooling off. i think they'll be falling a bit on thursday, cold for friday. that's right. cold, the high just 39 after getg

get a cut of the cash. >> and we found some things we didn't expect. neighboring schools cutting different contracts with different companies. in some cases getting larger percentages. of the proceeds of the photography shoot. in other cases asking for additional perks. >> did the schools generate money? >> yes. there's a percentage that's a signing bonus for instance. goes back to the school. >> kathy laser, director of materials management in montgomery county public schools said often it isn't district headquarters doing the negotiating, but each individual school principal. the contract shows the principal at lakelands middle school negotiated a 40% commission on all sales and a $1,000 signing bonus. shady grove middle, same commission, but a $750 bonus. at nearby forest oak middle, a 40% cut of the spring portraits, but ridgeview middle school, a 30% commission. and other schools negotiate other perks. hilton high school in prince william county cut a deal for t
