still peak blossoms. all the neighborhoods are looking beautiful. sunrise this morning is right at 7:00. we'll have the clouds on the increase during the day and there is just a slight chance of some afternoon sprinkles or maybe a little bit of drizzle. greater chance of rain later this evening. right now getting rain south of williamsburg over to norfolk and south of richmond, that is tracking off to the north and east. so this will stay well south of the metro area throughout the morning hours. it's not until later today, late afternoon and evening, that we will likely see some rain beginning to move in. here is the hour by hour timing. by 2:00 this afternoon, maybe a little light rain and sprinkles, northern neck over to richmond and perhaps near tread ricks about your. it's after that maybe around 5:00 this area in green, zone of potential light rain moving in. just sprinkles early evening, but the greater chance of any

aftered my knmidnight. rain through the morning commute. starting off early monday morning, some passing hours. but is it is it look like by around 10:00, 11:00 in the morning, most of the rain will be ending on monday. right now a chill in the air. we're in the mid to upper 40s metro area. in the 30s shenandoah valley. if you're planning on a run early this morning, you'll stay dry. by 10:00, mid-50s. by noon, it should begin to climb into the upper 50s and holding steady but just a small chance of sprinkles and drizzle. . bus stop tomorrow morning for students going back to school, temperatures in the mid-50s, a few showers. but in the afternoon, upper 60s with a blustery wind. pollen count is high. we'll get that washed out by the rain later tonight into tomorrow morning. and then drying out monday afternoon and then sun back on tuesday with highs reaching near 60. and then oned

toward the end the week on thursday and friday, temperatures near 70 thursday and friday. might get showers on thursday. next week end we'll begin to dry out. next up is "reporter's notebook." >> and we'll be back in 15 minutes with more of the new's stop stories. welcome to "reporter's notebook." two word, pepco-exelon. i almost expect to hear thunder kr crashing this tin the backgroun. is it a done deal? we spent the last half hour trying to if i trying to figure it out. is it a done deal? >> it probably is however the mayor is registering big on that position. but an agency has already okayed it. >> public service commission. >> that's right. she can bring suit

understand. they could use the bully pulpit. but unless somebody wants to change their mind or revisit this, which i don't think the principals want them to do, it looks like it's going ahead. >> i don't think the commission wants to revisit it. i would guess they want this off their late, they want this to move along. i think where it gets -- i know where it gets murky is that the mayor wants to have some control over that money that pepco-exelon says it will put out there. >> the $72 million. almost 73. >> and the commission is saying, listen, we basically don't trust that you'll handle the money in the right way. he we don't trust that all this money will go to decrease rates. they say they will give $50 back to residents, a one time payment p . on the counter side, they say then what happens after that. >> even if the rates hold

year or two, they're saying now maybe it would hold by 19-20. so four years from now. but dave is right, the mayor's only choice would be a lawsuit and that would many maybe tie it up. but then the reality is that these two entities, these giants being they know where they're going to be five years out. sten ye ten years out. and in-the big business, chamber of commerce, the agencies, it's a done deal. and so we might as well just -- you can fight it, but i think it's a done deal. >> i'm a little surprised that there hasn't been more push back. activists have talked about the renewable energy level and that will retard the progress of the district. >> explain why. >> the distct

toward renewable energy, wind, solar. and they feel that pepcopepco-e, because it's nuclear -- >> larger opener of nuclear. >> that's right. why would they want wind energy. it seems that opponents would also say even though the former mayor said, listen, it's also going to bring 100 jobs, could you really argue 100 jobs over the long haul how much of a difference will that make. sounds good when you say jobs and maybe lower rights. >> 100 jobs for how long. but the reason i'm smiling is when you said windmill, wihere o you put a windmill in the district? >> well, wind energy. >> no, it's not going to happen in the district of columbia. >>

>> the big discussion is rate increases. no matter what they say, there is really no guarantee. >> and the "washington post" was saying expect a rate increase by this summer because that's what exelon did when it merged with the you utility in baltimore. >> and the question is do you get a lot of other benefits which the proponents say in spite of that, it will be better. well, we'll see. >> they say better service, less power outages. >> but what else are they going to say? >> we'll take you for a ride. you'll run out of gas in that ride. >> exactly. >> all right. we have just a couple minutes. i don't know if we can do this quickly. governor hogan in maryland, a democratic lawmaker in annapolis is saying, listen, rutrump yes

no. a big sign says silence equals endorseme endorsement. >> they're trying to hang trump on every republican that they can find. trying to smoke them out. what are you going to do. and all the republicans a are trying to say we'll see or i'll support the nominee. because there could be some down ticket effects on the republicans if trump is at the top of the ticket. other people say first of all in the house, it will be hard to knock out any republicans. senate might be different. locally if they're starting to start some kind of a political brush fire in maryland by embarrassing hogan, i don't know how far that will get. >> he didn't say up or down, but he said that the whole race itself is -- >> he doesn't want to endorse nip which we've had to remind him that he did endorse chris christie who jumped out of the race. but to dave's point, nationally

i think locally it's so different especially in maryland. testimonies drought number republicans 2:1. hogan is an anomaly. so if democrats can hang this on hogan, make him take a position, i think they feel like maybe that could drag him down a bit where his poll numbers are pretty high. but this is the long game. and in the long game is the convention. hogan has to lead his delegation to the republican convention. he certainly isn't going to move because democrats force him. so he knows the strategy is you can put as many billboards up, i have to lead my delegration into cleveland and i'm not about ready to tip my hand because i don't know what i will be offered it that become as brokered convention. >> i don't believe the maryland primaries are for a bit more time. >> april 26. >> so

get a sense that there is a trump strong movement, and i don't think there is a strong cruz movement. i think they were more in the rubio area. >> well tarks, that's shifted. we'll be back. ♪ he's begun forgetting words. forgetting where he lives. but when the day comes when he forgets who i am, i'll still know who he is. the first time we said i love you we didn't use words. we simply held each other's hands. we still are. i lost my dad to alzheimer's. preventing alzheimer's is within our grasp. let's double the budget of nih and get it done. i'm david trone and i approve this message.

welcome back. $15 an hour, that is the minimum wage that d.c. mayor muriel bowser would like to see by 2020. great for the workers, but what will that do for competition. >> it's probably having an effect already. in july it will foe up from $10.50 to $11.50. and sofoe up from $10.50 to $11.50. and so there is a

jurisdictions already. but some could argue that the cost of living in the district, that this affects the minimum wage and d.c. i believe is the highest in the nation. i think what's interesting is low the mayor is pushing for this, vincent gray also pushed this $11.50. the key here is that the coundcl chairman is now onboard. before he was luke warm because what would it mean for businesses. >> that's always the argument. but there are states and jurisdictions that have done it and there is no proof that it drives business out. now, of course the one thing that is different is that we've got virginia on one side and maryland on the other. but i think what the mayor is doing is taking the leadership position. so she takes the position in the district, she takes the lead. and then you know the governor this virginia who is democrat, he will take the lead. the opposition probably will be

hogan only because of ideological reasons. but he may edgily come around because he's got to deal with a democratic semiprogressive legislator. so i think she's taking the lead. >> i think the issue here is will it harm competition. in other words, will workers be making more money, will the restaurants or businesses where they're paying it, will they have to spend more money, they will lose profits. and there is competing data on this. and the latest data shows that it doesn't have those effects. they did that in washington state and they thought this would crimp the economy and it didn't. >> because people who make $15 an hour spend it. >> and they will stay on the job longer, be better workers because their he's getting paid more. >> and i thought what you were going to say that she was taking the lead because there is some scuttle that if she didn't at that time lead, that this might go for referendum anyway and t

voters -- >> one way or the other. >> and i think it was just a few days ago paul ryan i think he was -- a young lady was speaking to him talking about the minimum wage where she lived and what she makes and how she father cannot live on that minimum wage and paul ryan softened his stance on minimum wage and the caps on many of these states. so this is an issue that can be larger than the district even though they have the highest minimum wage rate in the nation. >> and this is a great time do it because we're in a national political year and it's a major debate. >> and it targets the middle class. but even at $15 an hour, living in the district, oh, my gosh, it's expensive. >> and this isn't until 2020. so four years away. >> but if you live outside of the district, you have to commute into the strict which is -- there

think people were a little disturbed that according to some new survey, some dutch company that sells gps equipment and looked at our traffic, we were dropped down to the eighth worse and i think there was proud that we were the second worst. >> you say it sarcastically. >> yeah. >> driving to the station this whole week, because of the cherry blossoms and the zoo, the traffic is just awful. i mean, it's -- take metro or don't go anywhere. >> but these statistics have been pretty consistent. d.c. is usually somewhere in the top ten. so we've been talking about i-66, increasing lane traffic into d.c. so i think does this information

public policy? will it really change things? will the politicians look at this and go, oh, wait a minute, we're in number two now, now we're number eight, many question don't have to do this or that or maybe it's just fodder for to us chat about. >> no, i think people are hearing us chat about it and they are agreeing like dave is saying, look, i'm living this. but this company, they used gps. have you ever used gps to get around town? i mean like where do you guys go? so it might be a little tainted there because if you follow gps, you know, it's not always the shortest or the quickest distance. >> and sometimes the lady -- and i know it's the wrong way and so i have to shut her up because of my own way to go. and i have to tell her to cancel the route and i actually feel like i'm hurting her feeling

cancel the route? and i want to say i'm sorry, i don't, it's not personal. to a machine voice. >> artificial intelligence. >> yes. i want them to like me. >> if we don't get another bridge over the potomac, it won't get better. more mass ratransit, that means more money. where does the money come from to do the things that we need to do. >> and last week with the shutdown of head the troh that day, i thought that gave us a nice picture into the future. granted metro wasn't working, but imagine the swelling of the. la population over the next ten years. that could look like a normal day when metro is running. it could be that bad. >> it looked like manhattan. i mean, that day,

neighborhood and it looked like manhattan because i had just come from manhattan. >> all right. thank you, gentlemen. and we hope you enjoy the rest of your week. did morning. here are the top stories we're following for you. the alexandria police department is investigating an in-custody death. a 54-year-old male inmate had a medical emergency at the trusdale center and was rushed to the hospital but died. the man was being held on federal charges. >> a teenager was shot and killed on the platform at the deanwood metro station. d.c. police say he was targeted. d.c. mayor
