corner. police stopped three people from florida late last month. after stores security officers at lord & taylor spont spoted them on surveillance video. we're told they recovered $76,000 in stolen goods. investigators believe they wanted to resell those items and charged two of them with grand larce larceny. the third is charged with providing a false identification to police. if you thought it was cold today, keep those sweaters handy. it's going to be cold and we'll get some nasty rain this week. doug's keeping an eye on all the changes for you. >> my son was very upset at me this morning when i told him he had to wear pants to school. he just wants to put on the shorts. not today, and not tomorrow. temperatures today much colder than average. the average highs this time of year around 63. today's highs, take a look at the current numbers, these are where the numbers should in early february. right now 45 d.c., 45 hagerstown, 46 towards richmond. and 39 in ee

37 in baltimore. so we are dealing with wind chills, good news is the winds starting to die down now. so that's good news. but it will allow for temperatures to fall quickly after sunset. another cold night, freeze warning in effect for the entire area. and we're not done with the cold yet. another cold day tomorrow. at least a cool day tomorrow. then we're talking about the nationals' forecast. there's rain on thursday, we'll talk about when it comes in and another cold weekend. cold air again, as cold as today? maybe. i've got the forecast. thanks, doug. it was a rocky start for metro's new bus arrival prediction system. you were supposed to be able to track those buses from your phone to see when they were going to show up. but this morning, it wasn't working. transportation reporter adam tuss has been tracking these issues all day and joins us from the west falls church station. is it fixed yet? >> it is fixed, wendy. that g

sitting well with some rigders who said they had it wait out in the cold because the system went down. waiting and waiting at the bus stop. not so much fun today. >> oh, yes, especially on a day like today when it's freezing. >> metro's new bus arrival prediction system called bus eta was down for a while, leading to frustrated riders and tweets. some saying they had to wait with the kids in the cold. others calling the new system terrible and another tweet saying the system is woefully inaccurate. metro sent us a statement saying there was a slow server response for about an hour until bandwidth was increased at the thirdhand party host. normal functioning since then. >> it's a little slower. but it's more accurate, i think than the other one was. >> we found bus rider jennifer using the bus eta system today after it was fixed. she said systems like this have to work for riders who

buses. >> you have to go to work and you transfer buses, you got to know you got the ten minutes, if it says ten minutes, but you only have five, then you have to wait another half hour and then you have to transfer to another bus. you might not get to work for another hour. >> this new bus eta service just replaced the old next bus system which was often criticized for being inaccurate and riders say the entire system needs to function better. >> they come ten, 15 minutes late. and then they drive like they're on a sunday drive. >> metro says the new bus eta platform drills down to give you specific information including how many stops away the next bus is. and for a system that's trying to win riders back, convenience matters. now coming up at 6:00, i'm going to tell you what you can do if you are concerned or frustrated by this new switch to the bus eta system. back to you. >> adam tuss, thanks, a crucial vote today in the race for the white house. voters in wisconsin are now casting ballots in this state's

when polls opened up at 7:00 this morning, folks were already waiting in line. wisconsin is known for having an engaged electorate turnout, in primary elections routinely among the highest in the country. this year there's some concern that strict new voter i.d. laws could lead to thousands of voters being turned away. of course turnout could be a key factor in determining if today's outcome shakes up both races. the challengers to front-runners hillary clinton and donald trump have spent some big bucks to win in the badger state. on the democratic side, bernie sanders outspent clinton over the airwaves by a nearly 3-1 margin. sanders' campaign spending nearly $2.5 million on ads versus $931,000 for clinton's campaign. meanwhile on the gop side, trump is being outspent by just about everybody. two outside groups opposed to trump, our principles pac and the club for growth have spent $2 million in ads, tedz

spent an additional $1.4 million. while john kasich and his allies have kicked in just under $1 million. trump's campaign has spent a little more than half a million dollars in wisconsin. as we continue to monitor the polls in wisconsin throughout the night, make sure to keep it here. we'll be sending out breaking news alerts on our app. and you can watch news4 at 11:00 for live coverage. it is a done deal -- bernie sanders is back on the democratic primary ballot in d.c. news4 was first to report that sanders was in jeopardy of not being on that ballot because of a clerical error. as mark segraves tells us fixing that issue didn't happen without some debate. mark? >> like most things here at the d.c. council, wendy, yes, that's right there are two ways for presidential candidates to get on the democratic primary ballot. they can do it the old fashioned way and collect petitionings signatures or they can pay the party a check, $2500. clinton did both, sanders opted just to payhe

party filed their paperwork late, according to the board of elections, sanders risked missing the democratic primary here. >> all those in favor say aye? >> with that vote, senator bernie sanders setback on the d.c. primary ballot. >> i think this is about voter access to all of the presidential candidates. >> sanders campaign followed all the rules and paid the $2500 fee to appear on the ballot. but the d.c. democratic state party did not file the paperwork on behalf of the candidate until the day after the deadline, according to the board of elections. because of that delay, a voter filed a challenge with the board that could have kept sanders' name off the ballot. today, the d.c. council passed emergency legislation exempting democratic candidates from the deadline for the june 2016 primary. but in a meeting before the vote, several council members expressed concern about passing a law to allow one person ballot es

extremely careful with writing legislation to put one on the ballot that's in violation of our law. >> at that meeting the chair of the council warned council members of the negative press they would receive if sanders was kept off the ballot. >> if we deny the voter access, then that is not going to look good for the council. >> orange said negative press shouldn't drive how the council acts. >> that was very disappointing to hear. i think that we're here to do a job. and sometime the job is tough. >> now tomorrow the d.c. board of elections is still scheduled to hold a hearing on sanders' access to that ballot. that hearing is now all but meaningless because of today's vote. coming up, we tell you why two d.c. democrats on the d.c. council today did not vote to put sanders' name on the ballot. we're live outside of the d.c. council, mark segraves, news4. a man died in a fire here

last week we learned more people in the united states could be vulnerable to the zika virus than first predicted. that includes here in the district. >> we have a closer look at this. doreen? >> we've been looking at maps that showed the southeastern u.s. and especially south florida and the gulf coast as the most likely areas for zika virus outbreaks. but now those maps have been updated to as far north as maine

west as california. the centers for disease control says the two types of mosquitos capable of spreading the zika virus can survive in all of those locations. the midwest is on the map now, too, all the way up to minnesota. more than 300 people in the continental u.s. have already been infected with the zika virus. which we now know can cause serious birth defects, but all of those cases came from travel to south and central america and the caribbean. the concern now is that once mosquito season gets under way in the continental u.s. travelers returning from those zika virus area will be bitten by mosquitos and the insects will start transferring the virus to other people here, it's called local transmission and it hasn't happened here yet, because we don't have mosquitos until the weather warms up. and you know that's coming soon. that makes developing an affected zika virus vaccine, especially for women pregnant or planning to become pregnant,

the national institute for allergy and infectious diseases at nih, fast-tracking efforts to create a vaccine. he joined me to share the latest. >> we're almost certainly going to start that sometime in september, that will involve about 80 individuals, we likely would do it right here in the washington area in bethesda at the nih, just to show that it's safe and it induces the right amount of immune response if we're successful with that by the end of 2016, early 2017, we'll go into what's called an advanced phase 2 b trial, which would involve thousands of people. >> there was a survey last week or recently, showing that people really don't know much about zika. a lot of misinformation about this. what do you think people ought to know about this? >> i think they ought to know one, the importance of taking care and protecting pregnant women. that's the reason why we in the united states right nowhe

make sure that everyone knows if you're pregnant, thinking of becoming pregnant, might be pregnant, do not travel to areas in which there's an outbreak. that's the most important thing. the other thing is we know it's sexually transmitted. that's a fact. that's not a theory, that's a fact. >> and that means no unprotected sex for men after travel to the zika-affected areas, even if there aren't any virus symptoms, because sometimes there aren't and you can still be contagious. as we continue to learn more, we'll make sure you have what you need to know on the nbc washington app. just search zika. >> there's a lot we don't know. and the more i cover this story, the more i see that there's a lot that we don't know about it. and it was, it was news to me that this thing could lap, we could have an outbreak here, caused by travelers during mosquito season. as soon as they could have an outbreak south o

>> a virginia woman says she was charged an extra day of parking, and she had no choice but to pay it in order to get out of the garage. >> that's when she drove straight home and contacted smart move, consumer reporter susan hogan for some help. >> well here's the deal -- when we first heard from this consumer, we thought it was just a lone case of overcharging. but we uncovered a pricey problem that now has the metropolitan washington airport authority making changes to its website. thousands of passengers park at reagan national every week. you get your ticket, you drive around and around looking for spot. or you can do what susan sherman of alexandria did -- >> well it is really convenient. >> log on to the reagan national airport's website and reserve your parking spot so you don't miss your flight. >> often you can't find a parking spot unless it's reserved. >> it seems like the perfect system. but as susan recently learned, this perfect system has a flaw. >> i gave the woman the kiosk my credita

will be $17. and ways shocked. >> shocked, because susan prepaid for her reservation and assumed she didn't owe anything. >> i did not see anything it could be there. i didn't see anything that said my time ends when i tell you my flight is coming back. which doesn't seem fair in a in an airport. because you're probably going to be delayed. which i was. >> susan's flight was late causing her to leave the garage two hours after her reservation ended. but she was charged for another full day. the airport authority says it has about 400 reservations for parking each month. but nowhere on the website does it clearly explain the cost for an hour or so delay. it only reads, if your vehicle stays in the parking space longer than the reservation time, you'll be charged for those extra days at the rates applicable to the parking facility. but in susan's case, it wasn't days, it was a matter of two hours. >> it was not as clear as it should have been.

authority. admitted their website was a bit confusing. as a result of our story, they made changes. to now say if your vehicle stays in the parking facility for more than two hours, after your reservation ends, a new parking session will begin at the posted rates. the authority also said this story has made them realize there's room for even more changes in the future. >> we're going to continue to work on the system to evaluate are there other ways we can do the system so the charge can go away? and in the meantime we want to make sure that people understand the charge that's there. >> and susan now has a satisfaction that her complaints made a difference. >> thank you for taking care of this. >> you're welcome. more good news. the airport authority did refund susan her $17. by the way, dulles airport does not have the option to reserve parking. the airport authority tells us it's such a larger parking lot and doesn't need it. back to you. >> thanks, susan. trooper chad dermyer, it wasn't a day to remember his
