good morning, i'm storm team 4 meteorologist chuck bell. new information and new forecast tracks and new forecast impacts for tropical storm hermine. still set to have a big impact on your labor day weekend plans. i'm molette green. hermine could mean changes to your holiday weekend travel plans. the conditions you could face on the road. i'm erika gonzalez. may you boldly go, is that right, to the post office. the stamps trekkies across the country are eagerly awaiting. news4 midday starts right now.

this is video from hermine moving through cedar key, florida, overnight. the storm brought high winds, a lot of rain. right now tropical storm hermine is moving across georgia and south carolina. parts of those states and northern carolina or north carolina, i should say, are under a tornado watch until 4:00 this afternoon. >> we have team coverage of tropical storm hermine. nbc's jay gray will give us a live report from where the storm is headed next. but first, let's check in with storm team 4's chuck bell. he's got an update on how the storm will impact your holiday weekend. hey, chuck. >> hey, good morning. if your plans take you to the shenandoah valley or the mountains of west virginia, you have nothing to worry about. if your plans take you to the beach, you need to think about whether or not to cancel your plans or not because the weekend at the coastline could be very wind-whipped and rain-soaked. here's the very latest. this is as of the

so this literally just came in from the national hurricane center. the new position has the storm here just to the west of savannah, georgia. maximum sustained winds are now at 50 miles per hour. there's not going to be much more weakening between now and the time it re-emerges over the waters of the western atlantic here. the forecast in time going forward here does continue to bring hermine closer up the coastline. by saturday at 8:00 at night. so 8:00 p.m. saturday the storm is just about off the direct coast of virginia beach. here's ocean city and rehoboth right here. the real issue is saturday into sunday. the storm continues to go out to sea but then really slows down and waddles around out here just off the delaware and the jersey shore. this is monday, 8:00 in the morning. by tuesday, still just off the delaware and the new jersey coastline, so this is going to be a long duration event of wind, beach erosion and battering waves and coastal flooding along the beaches. impacts here from the washington area westbound will be lower.

in a few more minutes. we continue our team coverage of tropical storm hermine with jay gray, who is live in savannah, georgia. >> reporter: hey, molette, good to talk to you. look, we're getting a break right now and that's how these things work. the outer bands have moved through in the morning. in between those you get a bit of a lull as you get closer to the central part or eye of the storm, it's more compact and tightly wound. what we've seen today is battering rains and high winds. we have water already standing in low areas here. we expect more throughout the day. and the winds. this is an older city with beautiful old trees but it could pull down some of the branches there and cause a problem with some of the trees toppling over. that could pull as well the power lines down so crews have been stationed and ready to move in if that's the case. we do know that this storm has turned deadly, unfortunately. we just learned through governor rick scott in florida that at least onema

was killed as a tree fell over during the storm there. so hermine now a deadly storm. tropical storm status now as it continues to move through georgia here. we'll see more bands. we'll see a lot more rain and stronger winds throughout the day. it will move through the carolinas and up the east coast as well, so this storm not done. it's going to cause problems for millions over the next several days of this holiday weekend. that's the latest live here in savannah. molette, back to you. >> all right, thank you so much. the storm may be getting weaker but it's still quite strong. so we're sending soerm stormranger 4 to north carolina where a third of the state is under an emergency right now. the truck is incredibly powerful, one of a kind, and gives us the ability to track storms anywhere. we'll be using it to make our coverage the most accurate it can possibly be. >> right now we want to look at the track of tropical storm hermine. it's passing overor

it will eventually make its way through norfolk probably saturday afternoon. this is definitely going to have an impact on you if you are heading out to the beaches for this labor day weekend. with more on that, we want to get to megan mcgrath, who's live along the chesapeake bay bridge. megan? >> reporter: well, you can see the bridge over my shoulder here. we're starting to see the volume pick up here, but things are moving very well. no traffic delays at all on the bridge, not at this point. it's still early. lots of folks, though, later on this afternoon will be heading to the beaches. unfortunately, hermine is going to have a serious impact on the weather at the beaches. we're expecting high winds, heavy rains, so not a lot of time maybe being spent on the beach. not this time around. we've been talking to folks all morning long and they say they'll just do the best they can. they'll make do. a beautiful morning at the bay bridge. clear blue skies and a gentle breeze. but things are going

saturday night into sunday, raising the possibility of wind restrictions on the bridge. and at the beach -- >> what are you expecting in terms of the weather this weekend? >> well, big waves, high tides, and what i'm really hoping for is it will wash up some sea glass. >> reporter: hermine is headed our way with the greatest impact expected along the coast. jeremy alexander hit the road early this morning so he'll get at least one pretty day at the beach. as for the rest of the weekend -- >> we've had this planned for months, so my father's birthday, so we're going no matter what. >> worse comes to worst, we're together with our family, inside, stretching out, so much good food regardless of the weather, who needs the beach. >> reporter: and they have started to run two-way traffic on that westbound span to give another lane headed in the direction of the beaches to keep things flowing. so far so good. everything is looking clear

but of course in just a matter of hours, all of that is going to change. we are expecting large crowds here headed in this direction, so plan accordingly. back to you in the studio. >> thank you, megan. switching gears now to a developing story, an investigation into a deadly shooting in northeast. a man was killed just blocks away from the scene of a shooting earlier this week. news4's derrick ward has more. >> reporter: d.c. police are investigating a homicide. it happened near the intersection of 14th and saratoga at about 1:00 a.m. this morning in the montana terrace neighborhood of northeast. no information on a suspect or the victim at this point, but it happened just about a block away from a shooting on tuesday in which two people were wounded. among them, a pregnant woman. now, she and her babies are expected to be okay, as is another victim of that shooting. at this point no indications whether they were connected. in northeast, derrick ward, news4. w

could not be off to a nicer start to this labor day weekend. look at that gorgeous picture. >> that's a live look outside right now where, as you can see, the sun is shining, it's beautiful and the heat and humidity are popping, that's what the kids say. >> that's a good thing, right? >> chuck, i mean -- >> hard to lieve sometimes. >> i think we're going to dodge a bullet, though, for us here. >> especially our friends and neighbors in the shenandoah valley may not know there's a storm off the coastline at all. what just came in as of the 11:00 hour with the new position of the storm itself, also new watches and warnings along our coastline to tell you about. now have been upgraded to a tropical storm warning for the lower parts of the chesapeake bay. the northern neck of virginia, the lower bay, out to the eastern shore. so all these red shadings here, that is now a tropical storm warning. tropical storm watches remain in place everywhere else. what does that mean? tropical storm conditions. winds 40 to 60 miles per hour possible in the advised

cloudiness drifting into southern maryland. the rain edge is just getting to the virginia/north carolina bord border. the center of circulation is 500 miles away are ocean city but there's the swirling rain mass just west of savannah, georgia. the track of this storm brings it off the outer banks of north carolina late tonight into tomorrow. by saturday night well off the coast of virginia beach and then the storm slows down and meanders around off the jersey coastline. that means a prolonged period of bad weather along the beaches. rain moving in late tonight down in tidewater, virginia. here's 5:00 a.m. tomorrow morning. there's washington right there. notice with time the heaviest rain stays confined right to the coast. the i-95 corridor certainly can't rule out passing showers during the course of the day tomorrow, tomorrow night and into sunday, but the heavy, steady rain is going to stay well to our east really along the immediate coastline. so bigger,

sure there. shenandoah valley, hardly a drop. breezy and showers around the metro. breezy and windy at times. we'll get more on the impact and we'll give you the ten-day forecast which brings big summer heat back next week. she is ready for some football, but is she ready to leave the area she's called home for so many years? doreen gentzler sits down with d.c. police chief cathy lanier for a one-on-one interview. our area is notorious for bad commutes but now there's serious proof to back up those claims. why people here spend so much time and money. and we continue to track tropical storm hermine which made landfall in florida early this morning as a hurricane. where it's headed next and the impact it could have on your weekend plans coming up.

happening right now, tropical storm hermine is still pounding the southeast part of the country. look at the span of this storm. it actually made landfall as a hurricane early this morning. the first to do so in florida in a decade. >> and now parts of georgia and the carolinas are dealing with a much weaker but still very dangerous storm. let's turn our attention now to

bell. what's the very latest in this storm's path? >> the thinking is that this storm is going to be just far enough offshore in order to really spare the shenandoah valley and the mountains of almost anything in the way of an exact at all. from the i-95 corridor eastbound to the bay is where things get a little dicier. the new track, keeping the storm well offshore, but just because it's offshore doesn't mean we won't feel anything, has a very large wind field, tropical storm force winds extend out several hundred miles from the center. so this will be a humongous beach impact with flooding and beach erosion. nice out there for now but the impact in and around the metro over the weekend, rain and showers possible but no heavy rain in and around washington. the winds certainly breezy on saturday, stronger winds i think on sunday. so breezy to blustery conditions saturday, saturday night into sunday. not much of a flood threat around here. there could be coastal flooding on the western shore of the chesapeake bay but most will be lo

weekend, hit and miss showers but it doesn't look like any driving rainstorm. i'll give you that ten-day forecast in a few minutes. an anacostia high school student was killed in a student in the middle of the afternoon. this happened on 16th street in southeast. d.c. police have not identified the 17-year-old victim. a pizza deliveryman was also shot and seriously hurt. one mother had to help her kids with the homework outside because the crime scene was blocking the entrance to her apartment. >> i'm pretty frustrated right now. it's hot. my kids have been in school all day. they want to relax and do their homework, eat dinner and do things normally as a normal family would do. we can't. >> police are offering a $25,000 reward for information on a suspect that leads to an arrest and conviction. metro transit police are investigating a derailment at a virginia storage yard. at least one train went off a nonpasser

yard last night around 9:40. no one was hurt. police said last night that no systems were affected and it doesn't appear the derailment impacted this morning's compute. meanwhile metro is facing more pressure to bring back late-night service. 40 elected officials from prince george's an montgomery counties sent a letter to metro's general manager asking for a return of some form of late-night hours on weekends. service ending at midnight prevents thousands from getting where they need to go. it was a big issue last night as people scrambled to get home after bruce springsteen's concert at nats park. >> metro is unreliable. we tried to take it today, it's totally unreliable so now we rely on uber. >> metro closes at midnight for daily repairs and maintenance. it is standing firm on providing no changes for special events. a uva fraternity is moving forward with its $25,000 lawsuit against "rolling stone"

magazine. a virginia judge denied the magazine's attempt to throw out the lawsuit. the suit is over a now widely discredited article that alleged seven fraternity members raped a female student at the fraternity house in september of 2012. she served the district for decades and soon d.c.'s police chief will face a new challenge. as doreen gentzler found out, the decision to leave didn't come easy for cathy lanier. >> d.c. police chief cathy lanier will leave her post in two weeks for a new job as head of security for the nfl. she's been on the force here 26 years here, almost ten as the chief. her decision to leave was a surprise, even to her. chief lanier talked with me about it thursday. >> i've been so passionate about policing my whole life. i couldn't imagine doing anything else. at the same time, i didn't feel that passion for doing it somewhere other than here because this is my city. >> reporter: chief lanier says she'll bring that

to the nfl, a job that comes with huge challenges, like super bowl security, player misconduct allegations and much more. but this is a woman who's never backed down from a challenge. like the time he filed a sex discrimination complaint against her colleagues at the d.c. police department just five years into her career there. she won, but -- >> i remember a captain, who i liked very much, saying to me at the time, i was a sergeant. he said, you did the right thing and everybody here supports you, but you'll never go past the rank of captain. and so for the next several years of my career i took that to heart because everything above the rank of captain is appointed. he's right, i wouldn't have gone above the rank of captain for the next few years because that's how the environment was back then. but i guess he was wrong. >> she's become the most popular public official in town and that's because she's out in the community all the time. shews

team to do the same. lanier and many others believe this relationship has helped d.c. avoid the dangerous and deadly confrontations between other police departments and their communities. >> i feel very, very good with our relationship with the community and that stands out the most because of what's happening nationally. i guess the other thing that really stands out to me is the ability to drop the homicide below 100. >> cathy lanier will move to new york city after a lifetime here in the d.c. area. she says she's got to get a whole new wardrobe. remember, she's been wearing a uniform to work every day for 26 years. >> that's a great story, thank you, doreen. the controversy surrounding 49er colin kaepernick continues. who's now joining the quarterback in his refusal to stand during the national anthem. the calendar just turned over to september but one retailer wants you to start

this morning two families want the federal government to investigate how two 5-year-olds ended up on the wrong flights. it happened last month on two jetblue flights. the boys were put on the wrong flights. little andy martinez mercado was supposed to rand at new york's jfk but ended up in boston. when his mother went to pick him up, she was handed a different little boy who had her son's passport. >> translator: i was given another boy, and they asked me, it was the first time, is this your son. i said this is not my son. >> now, jetblue eventually got the kids to their right destinations and refunded the families the flight money. colin kaepernick says he won't stand for the national

quote, represents what it's supposed to. ♪ and the rockets red glare >> now other players are kneeling with him. during the 49ers preseason game kaepernick and his teammate eric reed both refused to stand. kaepernick is protesting how minorities are treated in this country but that he means no disrespect to the united states military. >> so i have the utmost respect for them and i think what i did was taken out of context and spun a different way. >> seattle seahawks cornerback jeremy lane also sat during the national anthem last night. 11:41 now. i want to talk to chuck with a little bit more on how things are shaping up. it seems like with every hour that passes, we're getting a clearer picture of what it means for the folks that are choosing to stay this weekend and those that are trying to get out of town. >> it's all about where you're going. if you're planning to go

the jersey shore all the way down to the outer banks of north carolina, it is going to be tough sledding getting down to the beaches this weekend and tough dealing with the weather while you're there. staying here at home this weekend won't be such a bad plan. the rest of today looks great. plenty of sunshine now. temperatures will be warming up into the upper 70s and lower 80s. gradually we'll see more and more clouds come into our skies. tropical storm warnings have been posted for the lower parts of the chesapeake bay and parts of the eastern shore, likely to be expanded farther up the coastline here with time. the beach impacts, beach erosion will be severe. this is going to be every bit as bad was any nor'easter. it's going to be a long stretch of coastal erosion. coastal flooding, worst threats will be periods of high tide. rainfall at the beaches now 3 to 6 inches or more, and the winds onshore, a northeast onshore wind 35 to 50 miles an hour really from saturday noon time up through sunday night or early monday. so

heavy rain and turning breezy to windy. sunday, heavy rain and strong winds. monday still showery but quite windy. winds could be near 40 miles an hour on monday as well, even as the bulk of the heavy rain pulls out. so there's the rain shield over parts of the lower bay. there could be a few showers around the metro area tomorrow afternoon, tomorrow evening. nothing all that heavy. but with breezy conditions, it will be kind of a squally weather outside and may rain fairly hard for a few minutes and be fairly windy as well. so it won't be necessarily a pretty weekend to be outside but it won't be hot. once hermine decides to move out to sea sometime in the middle of next week, our temperatures will jump back into the 90s. might even be near record highs for next weekend. >> thank you, chuck. if you've been trying to transform your life, have we got the guy for you. >> straight ahead, the one and only dr. willie jolly. he's going to sit down with us f
