today. >> it's raining outside. >> i wish i would have brought -- i will say i got a lot of sunshine in florida but we didn't have any rain and now we're back and there's some rain this morning but that's okay. it was a nice weekend and we're dealing with a few sprinkles but for the most part they're really out of the area so i don't think it will be a big deal at all. the rain is mostly south of fredericksburg or now east of annapolis. so it's quickly moving away and clearing the area. as far as the commute this morning expect some damp roads by 7:00 a.m. temperatures around 47 degrees so it's mild. by lunchtime close to 60. by the afternoon, dry roads, low to mid-60s, but colder air moves in tomorrow morning. let's check that with chuck. good morning. >> that's right. enjoy the relatively mild air for today because another shot of seriously cold air is coming our way as we get toward tomorrow night and thursday afternoon and thursday morning. could be the coldest of it. so for tomorrow,

northwest wind moves in just before you wake up in the morning and 63 today, tomorrow's afternoon high temperatures only in the mid-40s with a gusty northwest wind averaging 20 to 30 miles per hour. so future windchills, by this time tomorrow morning, subfreezing windchills and windchills likely to stay down in the 20s and 30s all day tomorrow. so start looking for that winter coat. you'll need it. have your nbc washington app fired up and ready to go as well. we'll try to keep you ahead of all these big ups and downs in the temperatures. wait till you see the weekend forecast. let's go over to melissa mollet who's tracking trouble on i-95. >> looking better though. southbound there affair fax county parkway, this is now on the right shoulder. lanes have reopened. so just a tiny bit of a slowdown as folks sort of look to the right there. taking a look at the inner and outer loop of the beltway, no big issues. earlier problem is gone as we've been talking about this morning. 95e

beltway, going 66 miles per hour. it's going to take you 11 minutes so you're good there. same thing outbound. no big worries through that area either. taking a look here bottom of the beltway, charles county rolling along nicely. see you back here in ten minutes. >> thank you. it's 5:02. developing this morning we're told the delays on the red line are over following a fight on a train. you can see metro transit police investigating at the rhode island avenue station last night. two passengers had some kind of fight and one had to be taken to the hospital. that person should be okay. the red line was single tracking, but now it's back to normal. also this morning police in northern virginia are trying to track down dozens of stolen guns that can now be on the streets. >> we're learning two of the men arrested for allegedly stealing the weapons in a series of burglaries are also suspected in a d.c. burglary. over the weekend police arrested three men for burglarizing t

they used surveillance video to connect all the crime. this same white u-haul van showed up in all three surveillance tapes. atf agents tracked down the van, followed the men and arrested them. >> we're impressed that in only a week's timeframe they have the people that broke into our store. every indication that we'd gotten from the atf they feel they'll be able to recover the fire arms stolen. >> matthew jones and daniel quarrels. at the time of the burglaries they were already out on bond for a burglary at a cvs store. they are expected to appear in court today on those charges. in northern virginia a popular principal may soon be reinstated. john brewer was given a termination notice in december. this also stems from brewer writing a recommendation for a former band instructor who was accused of inappropriate conduct. parents, students and teachers

fence will not be changed based on these recent breaches. let's head over to the live desk with some dramatic video of a plane crash. >> take a look at that. look at what happened when a plane crash landed. it's a smoky scene there. this is at an airport in south sudan in a town called wow and that's because all 43 passengers, six crew members, they survived this. 37 of them had to go to the hospital. most though discharged. that accident blamed on poor visibility that led to the plane colliding with a fire truck during the landing. in a town called wow. back to you, adam. >> certainly. thank you. today the department of homeland security is expected to announce new temporary restrictions on overseas flights to the united states. take a look here. the new rules will restrict certain electronic devices from being carried on board. the restrictions only apply to foreign carriers from certain countries. they do not apply to u.s. based airlines or domestic

present with the kids. he tackled the young man that stabbed the young man and was able to get security out right away to arrest the young man. >> today the principal is expected to speak to students about the incident. the victim is expected to be okay. montgomery county executive says if convicted, one or both of the rockville high school students accused of raping a 14-year-old classmate will be deported after serving their sentences. he says this is consistent with the county's long standing policies. the victim says 17-year-old jose mo monotano took turns sexually assaulting her. detainers are issued on individuals arrested on local criminal charges and who could be deported. there is no information on the 17-year-old. a popular loudoun county principal who was fired may soon be back on the job. john brewer was forced out of

this all stems from brewer writing a recommendation for a former band instructor who was later accused of inappropriate conduct. parents and teachers rallied for brewer's reinstatement. the school board decided to offer his old job back on a probationary basis. he'd have to agree to special training on child abuse and neglect reporting and other conditions. he has ten days to decide whether or not to accept those terms. problems with a program millions of students use to help pay for college. you've probably heard of fafsa. >> the issues are delaying aid money for thousands. some students aren't getting any aid at all. susan hogan shares the warning. >> well, let's start with the irs. without informing anyone we learned that it removed a vital link within the federal student aid application. that link enabled you to automatically retrieve your w-2s

into the application. they never bothered to remove the link to applicants are thinking it's working only to be kicked out and start all over again. so as a result of this not working scammers are taking advantage of you so do not respond to any e-mails asking students to give them their common app information and also to provide copies of their parents' w-2s and another issue holding up financial aid. students asked to fax the irs transcript form, we learned that those fax numbers, some of them are incorrect. if you have applied for fafsa you need to check the verificati verification. what does the irs say about this? we'll tell you coming up on news4 at 5:00. here's something a lot of you are sharing this morning. new details about ivanka trump's new job at the white house. the job doesn't have an

anything but she will get an office in the west wing, security clearance and have access to classified information. her attorney told politico she will serve as the president's eyes and ears and give broad ranging advice. she would apply the restrictions that apply to federal employees. scary and inexcusable. yesterday maryland congressman and other lawmakers met with the head of the secret service about those incidents. there have been three scares in the past few weeks. a man managed to jump the fence and wander around the grounds for 20 minutes before officers took him into custody. >> some of the things that we heard today are very alarming. >> the response was pathetic at best. and it's almost -- it's just downright embarrassing to watch it. >> plans

house fence won't be changed based on these recent breaches. president trump was back on the road to sell the republican plan to replace the affordable care act. he pushed the bill to supporters in kentucky and today he's going to make the case to house republicans. >> tracie potts live on the hill for us this morning. gop leaders have unveiled some changes to the plan. how could this impact families? >> well, low income families especially. if you're on medicaid you're probably going to have to work to get those benefits. that's something that conservatives are rejoicing now that has been built into the changes of this bill that's going to be voted on thursday. there are some exceptions for pregnant women, disabled medicaid recipients and people taking care of a child under six. other wise that work component is going to be in there. also for families, if you're paying any fees under obamacare, those would end this year not next year so that could put more money in your pocket. the thing that's still up in the air are the baby boomers who

increase up to 700%. the number, the cost of this plan still aren't complete. they've got to rescore it now because of these changes so the house doesn't really want to touch that. they punted it to the senate to deal with about whether or not they're going to offer tax credits for those baby boomer to try to offset these escalating costs of premiums. >> and the other big story is fbi james comey's testimony to the intelligence committee yesterday. what were some of the headlines and how is the white house reacting to all this? >> so two big headlines. he said there's absolutely no proof or evidence within the fbi or within the justice department that president obama tapped president trump's phones. and that was a big blow although the white house response to that is well, they're still looking into other types of surveillance. the other thing is he came public and said they are investigating ties between russians trying to influence our election and people associated with the trump campaign and

house on that is that they may be investigating but so far they haven't found anything. >> all right. thank you. 5:53 now. new video of an icy rescue. take a look. this happened in central park. a teenager who fell through thin ice has two nypd officers to thank for saving his life. they slid him a ladder as the ice around him was cracked. he was pulled on the and rushed to the hospital. he's going to be okay. on sunday two other teenagers fell through the ice but were able to get out of the water on their own. >> such a dangerous situation. don't ever get on ice ever. you think it's solid. it's not. >> scary situation there. >> ice rinks, the only ice truly safe enough. >> that's a smart play right there. are we going to get down to the level where we could be freezing? >> not enough to freeze the waterways. last year we had ice on the bay

obviously this winter that never really happened. we do have a freeze threat coming up once again between now and the weekend. cloudy skies, temperatures are in the 40s. and not a problem at all. tomorrow morning noticeably colder. freeze is not all that likely especially in and around the city and down by the tidal basin but windchills tomorrow morning will be back down in the 20s. burr. and then as we get to thursday morning, a hard freeze likely everywhere. even downtown temperatures by the tidal basin as low as 27 degrees and could be the cherry trees could have to endure four to six hours at least of below freezing temperatures. i was down there yesterday and the blossoms are trying their best to come back out. this could be real trouble for some of the blossoms. by the weekend though, whatever's left should be getting ready to come into peak bloom. a little bit of light rain and sprinkles during the overnight hours. that's all basically come to an end at

radar shows lonesome drops across southern st. mary's county. we're in the 40s now so you may need that light jacket here early this morning. it's a shedable layer day once again. afternoon highs upper 50s and low 6 os with a light breeze. for tomorrow you'll wake up to temperatures in the 30s. above freezing courtesy of the wind, but during the day not much of a warmup. how about only 46 for a high tomorrow with windchills in the 30s all day. and then again, thursday morning is the one that i'm most concerned with for the cherry blossoms and any of our other tender spring flowers that are outside. maybe a little sprinkle on friday morning. saturday looks simply awesome. 74 degrees and then needed rain chances back for sunday and monday, and kind of unsettled and cloudy weather into early next week. only one freeze out of the next ten days. let's go over to melissa. >> good mornin

southbound at montrose road. not seeing an actual slowdown but we'll let you know if that develops. eastbound braddock road near sully park drive. all lanes blocked there. we'll keep an eye on that one. a little bit of a backup through that area. north king's highway at route 1. a crash there still hanging around. this is now gone. had that broken down vehicle and again, it's now out of the way. on metro a little delay on the orange line to new carrollton because of that issue at virginia square from a little while ago. taking a look here travel times 270 is fine. so is the top of th beltway. 66 inbound. 95 northbound, no big worries. a new problem on 66 coming up. >> good morning. not sure how that new sofa and love seat fits into your living room? pottery barn has

that lets you see its products in any of your rooms. you can move furniture around and change the color of pillows and uphoelsry. they also have an app to help teens design their room. >> thank you very much. one less item to pack for this summer's vacation. >> a delaware town has banned a popular beach supply. what to know before booking that trip to the shore. >> reporter: soon passengers flying overseas will have to change the way ty packhe a

right now on news 4 today, carry on changes. new security measures impacting what passengers can pack on flights. the just released information and which flight it affects. >> plus, a break for police after gun store burglaries. who's now in custody and where are the stolen weapons? >> and say good-bye to those piles of snow. we are heading into the 60s. but the warm weather won't be here all week. we're going to have to get used to this up and down. i don't know, until july? >> a roller coaster. >> good morning, everyone. i'm eun yang.

before the sun and the warm there may be some rain outside your door this morning. melissa will have a check on your commute in a second but first we start with sheena and chuck. >> tell us about the forecast. >> most of our rain is coming to a quick end across here. one or two lonely little drops but then i think it's all good news. >> so if you are up early enough to see the rain drops you don't need the umbrella today. we're just going to stay cloudy by 7:00 a.m. 47 degrees so cloudy and mild this morning. you don't need a warm jacket either. by lunchtime already close to 60 degrees in some parts of the area. very mild, no more rain in the forecast for today and in fact, our next rain chance won't be until the very end of the week, but by 5:00 p.m. we're looking at about the low 60s. so a nice day. there is a look at the radar. the rain has moved through so maybe some wet roadways this morning but i don't think you'll have to worry about it as we go through the morning commute. let's take a look at the rest of the forecast and a cooldown tomorrow. good morning, chuck. >> yes,
