going to be another nice day. mostly cloudy but temperatures closer to 60 degrees again. so let's take a look at that bus stop forecast and what you need to wear before you step outside. >> yes, indeed. the heavy winter coats have hardly been needed for most of the winter. a cold day here and there, but that's about it. this is how the kids should be dressed today. an insulated hoodie and waiting for the buses, temperatures 30s to around 40 so certainly chilly for the ride in. coming home later today, really not all that cold. we'll call it seasonably cool. so a medium jacket here early this morning. maybe the sunglasses. more clouds than yesterday but umbrellas not needed for today and really the earmuffs and gloves, i think it's time to use those. you put your winter clothes in the space bag and vacuum the air out of it? >> i have one, i never use it. >> i should use it. northbound 28, we are still s

dulles toll road because of a crash and investigation. all southbound lanes are open here this morning so we're sending justin out that way to get some eyes on it. as soon as he gets there we'll bring you live picture. you can see inner and outer loop running just fine. 66 and 95 here, no worries there. we have a crash through the outer loop, just not seeing any real slowdowns. a look in prince george's county coming up. this is one of the last videos we'll see of bao bao basking in the sunlight. in less than five hours she will leave the national zoo for her new home in china. >> we're live outside the national zoo with more on the long cuss testimony journey for bao bao. you have to think she's aware of all this hype surrounding her hype and sort of hamming it up for the cameras yesterday i think.

i mean, she put on quite a show while i was there and just wowed the crowd. yeah, and so today we're tracking her every move. we checked the panda cam. she's not in there because they're getting her ready for the departure here from the zoo and taking her to dulles airport and all of that is going to happen around 10:00 a.m. her departure here from the zoo, they will -- the keepers and the fed ex panda team will load her using a special forklift and pick up her giant crate, put it in the truck and take it on out to dulles for her 1:30 flight it's a nonstop 14 to 16 hour journey to china. now, a special flight plan mapped out for the easiest experience for bao bao. take a look at the 777 fed ex panda express freighter. it's specially outfitted for her even with the cutest panda decal

inside there's a custom built plexiglas enclosure so she can be able to move around, she can play with her toy, she can eat food. her carry on luggage is about 70 pounds and includes of course the toys but bamboo, apples, sweet potatoes, other sweet treats, this is a big team effort and all of this in the end leads to an emotional farewell. >> i'm a very emotional person so i'm sure the last day i that i'm with her there will be some tears but i think about it from my professional side and i couldn't be any prouder of her. >> now, the fed ex panda express team, they've done this before with 12 giant pandas. six flights in the past, including bao bao's brother. and it was a run yesterday at the zoo

and take a look at this. i got this a couple years ago for my kids after visiting bao bao and it's almost bigger than me. and we just can't get enough of her. eun, i'm not sharing. >> you read my mind. you know i was going to say, bring one for me. you read my mind. thank you. >> that zoo keeper really echoed my sentiments exactly. we're shedding a few tears. the 70s, that is when china gave the american people a pair of pandas as a gift. they arrived in 1972, but they never had a cub that survived more than a few days. nearly three decades passed before bao bao's parents came to the u.s. and they're really the ones who grew d.c.'s panda population. in 2005 they had their first

shan and he went to china to participate in their breeding program. then it was 2013 when his sister bao bao was born. beibei came along two dyears later and he will stay at the national zoo before he heads to china as well. he's only 18 months old. if you haven't seen him, adorable. if you're having panda withdrawals, do not worry. we have a whole section dedicated to bao bao on the nbc washington app including some of her cutest pictures. we could find out how immigration and border agents will be directed to go after undocumented immigrants. new implementation guidelines for the two immigration executive orders signed by president trump last month are expected to be unveiled. draft memos were leaked over the

one woman was injured. here on scene. that driver is now facing dui charges. he is also recovering from his injuries here. they have not been identified at this time. law enforcement is identifying them as well as their next of kin. we can tell you right now that traffic is moving rather slowly at points and if you have other routes in mind you may want to take them this morning. this investigation could wrap up by 6:00 a.m. or so. but as you can see right now it does not appear that will happen right away, but in short order. and we are live out here on route 28 southbound. back in to you. thank you. it seems more and more of you are opting not to use metro and you know that means fewer riders and less revenue for the agency. newly released ridership data

rail trips dropped 12% in the last six months of 2016. shortfall predicted in rev view from fares and parking. transportation reporter says metro will discuss these numbers at a public meeting on thursday. yesterday may have been the last time your student gets to stay home on president's day. the maryland general assembly is considering a bill that would allow school district to decide whether president's day is a day off. the same would be true for easter monday. lawmakers say since the school year is shorter than years past, taking up a few days could be very important to the school's schedule. should students in prek through second grade be expelled or receive out of school suspension for bad behavior? our news partners report the only exception would be if a child deliberately brought a gun to school. in school suspension for young students would still be allowed.

by frederick and county, virginia at winchester regional. outside for temperatures this morning, a mix of clouds and sunshine, easily into the low 50s by noontime today. on the whole, i think you'll view today as being a very good day. yesterday was outstanding and tomorrow, probably going to be between very good and outstanding as temperatures way up into the 60s. so what to wear? maybe a medium jacket and maybe a small pair of sunglasses but not a lot of blinding sunshine for today. skies will be partly to mostly cloudy. that clouds will increase a little bit and maybe a chance for a stray shower early tomorrow. here's future weather, nothing to worry about. all dry through the daylight hours tonight. by about this time tomorrow morning mostly cloudy and maybe an isolated shower mainly from about washington southbound towards fredericksburg. but rain chances tomorrow generally speaking are under 30% and even if you've got rain tomorrow it's not going to add

up to any more than a few 59 today. 68 tomorrow with an isolated shower or two. 74 on thursday. the record at national on thursday is 78 but the record at dulles on thursday is 73. so near record warmth again thursday. friday's records are unreachable for us because of the increasing clouds. some better rain chances come back next week but they'll be rain, not snow as temperatures will be way above freezing next week as well. >> breaking news right now, so take a look. we have a two-mile backup because of this problem where justin finch is in herndon this morning. northbound 28 diverted there at the dulles toll road. southbound here you're fine. northbound is where we have the problem. so you can see that slowdown as you're headed inbound here this morning. taking a look elsewhere. outer look at connecticut avenue, still have that crash just before connecticut avenue on the right side of the roadway. should be out of the way soon

advisor is getting a lot of praise >> h.r. mcmaster will replace michael flynn who resigned last week. jay, mcmaster beat out three other candidates. what put him over the top? >> reporter: it looks like a couple of things and good morning again. this is a guy who's a war hero, was a tank commander and involved in both iraq wars and afghanistan but also really what pushed him over the edge for president trump was not only is he a warrior but he's a defense intellectual, they call him. he's written a book that really criticized the strategy going into the vietnam war and also asked whether perhaps some of the military leaders should have challenged the president and the white house at the time of that war. it will be interesting to see if he has that back and forth with his new boss as he takes over his new role. >> all right. thank you. and new guidelines are expected to be rolled out today regarding president trump's immigration order. we'll have a look at what it

could include coming up at gluten free is everywhere these days from restaurant menu to grocery stores. it's becoming a more common option. >> some people avoid gluten to lose weight or for a healthier diet but do you really need this change? a look at our food fares series. >> gluten free diets. healthy or just hype? the number of americans who were gluten free or described themselves that way tripled between 2009 and 2014. but does being gluten free help in the long run and if so, who does it help? >> in terms of allergy it's only about half of the population that will have a wheat allergy but because of celiac disease and gluten free diets being a fad it's a big topic. >> it's an autoimmune disease,

but many people who don't have celiac go on gluten free diets. >> some people think probably less is better. >> gluten allergies are most commonly found in young kids. >> it's more common in children so a lot of them will outgrow it by the time they're five years old. not a common allergy in general and not a common allergy in adults. >> you'll see the aisles are full of gluten free foods. in fact, a study conducted by the cdc found about one in three quarter million people have celiac disease and two and a half million more follow a gluten free diet even though they don't have celiac disease. many allergists say there needs to be a better understanding between food intolerance and food sensitivity. you should always talk to your doctor before making any changes to your diet. for more about celiac disease and a gluten free diet go to our nbc washington app and search food fears.

change in the skin right away. >> there certainly is that these can cause some of the signs of aging such as wrinkling, changes of texture to the skin, brown spots, all things that people associate with the aging process. >> great. here are three things you can do to add layers of protection just in case. adjust the blue light setting on computer models. buy filters for phones and tablets and keep a log of how much screen time you're getting every day. you might be surprised. >> they're going to have to come with blue light screen i can lather on my face every day. >> the iphone has the night shift mode that switches it from blue to orange so you can -- >> night shift it is. thank you, aaron. >> we are just getting started on news 4 today. >> a security breach at one of our country's biggest airport. how nearly a dozen people dodged screenings at jfk. and a family reunited with
