4:11 pm
lightning mainly in virginia. the general flow from the northwest, heading southeast, getting some moderate showers right along the 95 corridor in stafford counties, fredericksburg. these are tracking southeast. there's another line of scattered showers, these are not severe storms, some downpours with lightning. and these two are tracking off to the south and east. we'll continue to move across the southern part of the day. temperatures hovering around 70 degrees right now. as we get into the evening hours, we'll see it dropping into the 60s. still the chance of an isolated thundershower through 8:00 p.m., but then it clears and by 11:00, down to 60. low 50s by dawn tomorrow. sunrise tomorrow, 6:57, breezy and cool during the day. more rain chances over the next ten days in just a few minutes. >> thank you, tom. it's a bit unconventional, building a memorial to a war we're still fighting. >> butho
4:12 pm
memorial to the war on terror say it's the right thing to do. a bill introduced today starts the process that will take years to complete. they don't know where the memorial would be built or what it would look like. but they maintain now is the time to begin the work so the veterans of our longest war have a place to go to reflect. >> given that these memorial efforts often take five to seven years, we are in a position today where that service member will be a senior citizen and taking their grandchildren to see the memorial for the war that he fought in. >> they also say waiting to build a memorial would rob veterans of a rallying place. they point to groups like rolling thunder, whose first organized ride was to the vietnam war memorial. an urgent call from police as they announce more cases of missing teenagers in the district. how you play a critical role in finding these young women. and you know commuting to
4:15 pm
4:16 pm
issue. my first question is, why should we all care? >> would you like to have people know where your browsing, where you're shopping at all times? >> no. >> this is what we call leaving our digital footprint, so to speak. what that really means is leaving all of the -- wherever we shop, it's letting the internet service providers really know what our footprint is, and for service providers like at&t, verizon, and comcast, nbc's owner, of course, they would love to cash in on all that information we're leaving there. from online medical questions to where we bank, online dating, our private e-mails, where we shop, who we voted for, all of that information is out there. >> they're looking to change something that's in place now. what are the rules right now? >> where we stand right now, the fcc, back in october, not that long ago, they issued new rules to prevent the svi
4:17 pm
so they had to get our consent before they shared any of this. so right now, if we do go shopping to nordstrom or go on amazon, that's for you and i to know. they would have to reach out to us, we'd have to give consent to say, go ahead and share to advertisers. that's now. >> okay, i assume every time i'm on my phone, i'm on facebook, i'm doing google searches. i kinda assume they're already selling my information. >> you were right if you're talking about facebook and google. because right now, of course, yes, when you go on facebook and google, sometimes you'll see on facebook, it will pop up, if you were just looking for reeboks or nikes or whatever. >> or a couch. >> all of a sudden it will pop up, an advertisement for that. but here's the difference between your service providers and google and facebook. you choose to go on google and facebook. you don't choose necessarily your network service provider. you pay
4:18 pm
that's it. you choose to get on facebook, you choose to get on google. they're saying, you can't put us into all of this. but the service providers say, this should be fair game, if you're allowing it to happen with facebook and google, we should be part of it too. >> opens up a whole new world of advertising potentially. i probably know the answer, but who are they selling the information to? >> advertisers. anyone and everyone who wants a piece of us. so if you're out there and you're searching for online dating websites. if you're searching for, just looking for sneakers, again, they're going to sell that information to the companies that are related to whatever you're searching. it's all well and good, some people like that particular kind of targeted advertising. but not if you're doing something more personal, like your medical information or your children's as well. that's where it gets a little tricky. >> you can see w
4:19 pm
advertisers would love to get their hands on that information. thank you very much. >> sure. we are following three new cases of missing teens in the district. remember d.c. police say there's not an uptick in the number of missing girls. rather the department is doing more now to publicize each case. today the cases include 14-year-old seyauna parker. it's the second time she's been reported missing this year. 15-year-old leona lewis. and michelle jordan, 16 years old, from northwest and was last seen on monday. you can play a critical role in helping to find these young women. >> play close attention, if you see that child or someone who looks like that child, report it. you'll see on our posters, do not hesitate, call 911, regardless of where you'r

4:21 pm
dropping into the 60s around 9:00, 11:00 tonight. we'll see temperatures drop but not that much. 72 in fredericksburg. 64 in winchester, where we have seen some rain. here it is on the radar, rain right now around winchester. most of it has been to the south. watch out to fredericksburg, mechanicsville, and then this is the heavier area, fredericksburg, zoom on in here. show you where this is. just to the north of fredericksburg, right along 95, look at this cell here. a little bit of thunder and lightning with these, not a lot. they'll continue to move right down towards the fair view beach area, colonial beach, along the potomac. fredericksburg, you're seeing rain now. more rain to the west of warrenton, winchester seeing that rain and clark county, warren county also seeing rain.
4:22 pm
notice these up towards the north. you can see the spin here. we've got some more that could clip d.c. for the next few hours as well. this upper level system, you can see that night little spin, will eventually become a potent storm. for now, an unorganized system through the area. behind it, cooler weather. ahead of it, temperatures still in the 70s. philly, only 54 there, 56 in pittsburgh. that's the cooler air that will work its way in tomorrow. tomorrow, high of 66, clouds early, sunshine late in the afternoon. still mild and a bit breezy. so on your wednesday, looking pretty good. the cooler air really settles in on thursday and friday. look at the highs here, 59 on thursday, with cloud cover coming in, cloudy and rain on friday. friday, i told you yesterday, just a nasty-looking day. 58 degrees, on the breezy side with the rain. we need it. and fortunately the weekend is looking even better. temperatures into the

4:31 pm
you're watching news4 at 4. if you work for the federal government, the next test for republicans' unity could have a direct impact on your job. both chambers of congress have to pass a spending bill to prevent a government shutdown before the deadline on april 29th. today president trump submitted his proposed budget, eliminating $18 billion in funding for medical research programs, community development and transportation projects. but negotiators are indicating that the initial white house proposals have little chance of actually being enacted. president trump is enacting a sweeping change for environmental regulations. he's just signed an executive order, rolling back the obama-era initiatives regarding carbon emissions, colal, and more. hallie jackson is here to break it down. hally, most of us have seen this headline all day today, talk about the
4:32 pm
>> hey, pat, sure. let's break it down. essentially what we saw from president trump over at the epa in washington was him trying to undo a lot of what former president obama put in place with his clean power plant. remember that? this was something that was intended to try to fight climate change. the current president ran on essentially rolling back a lot of those regulations and that is part of what today does. it does things like, for example, freeze -- trump called it ending the war on coal, if you will. he was surrounded by miners when he signed this executive order today. this is being celebrated in certain places like this west virginia, but as you might imagine, environmental groups are very upset about it. >> let's talk about jobs for a minute. there's a lot of back and forth about the coal industry and power plants.
4:33 pm
what's the potential impact from an economic perspective? >> reporter: it's still not clear how this is going to impact coal jobs, mining jobs in this country. we do know that coal is used a lot less than it used to be. as you see sources of renewable energy becoming more popular. right now, there are less than 75,000 coal jobs according to federal data, compared to more than 650,000 in renewable energy. my colleague that you'll see tonight, she's got interviews with families of coal miners who are celebrating this. they love the fact that president trump is making good on this campaign promise and trying to put their family members back to work. there's the flip side of the coin from environmental groups, saying this is going to do nothing to help fight climate change. >> so maybe it's good for him politically, but at this point, he has historically low approval ratings. does this help or hurt him politically? >> you know, what's a pretty good question. if i had a
4:34 pm
probably answer it for you. this is a president who is now less than 70 days in office and has a 36% approval rating in the poll that's out this week. other presidents hit that, call it a low water mark, but not until much later in their presidencies. former president bush after hurricane katrina, his approval rating was roughly 40% and then 36%. will this help turn it around? tbd. but the administration is hoping to show some signs of strength here by putting this forward today as there are headlines swirling about other topics in washington, like devin nunes, like russia, et cetera. >> hallie jackson, thank you. there's a lot of information about the potential impact to sift through on this. keep it here on news4 right through nbc nightly news with lester holt tonight at 7:00. and we want you to weigh in on our flash survey question on the nbc washington facebook page, weed
4:35 pm
president trump's executive order rolling back the environmental regulations is something you can give? do you support it? so far, many of you say the environment is more important. still plenty of time to vote. go to the facebook page and do that. we're following some breaking news in southeast d.c. there's been a shooting and a car crash, all of it unfolding right now on alabama avenue. here's what we know right now, two people were in their car when the shooting started and then the car crashed. one man has serious injuries and the other man was hurt as well. we have a crew on the way to the scene. we'll be bringing you any new information here on air and we'll be pushing out alerts on the nbc washington app. staying here at home, three people from northern virginia are accused of lying about a family member so they could become u.s. citizens. all three are from iraq. two men

they have their next hearing. a woman was allowed to go home, but she can't leave northern virginia. investigators were tipped off by fingerprints found in a bunker in iraq where an american was held hostage. we will explore why this information is just now surfacing more than eight years after the three of them became citizens. the tsa is under fire this afternoon because of this video posted on facebook. jennifer williamson said her son aaron being aggressively patted down at the dallas ft. worth airport over the weekend upset her. aaron suffers from a disorder that causes anxiety when he's touched. they asked them to use an alternative screening process allowed under agency rules, but that didn't happen. >> my son felt extremely violated. he left the area and was upset for quite some time. we dealt with questions for several days now,

wrong. >> the tsa says all approved procedures were followed to resolve an alarm on the passenger's laptop. you see the tsa aggressively working to keep us all safe, but you feel that feeling of powerlessness from the mom who obviously knows her son is not a threat. >> and people who think that there's room for discretion. he didn't have a lot of clothes on, he's a little boy. he didn't really appear to be a threat. >> you could see where it could be traumatic. >> sure, for him and for her. well, it used to be a landfill full of trash, but now they're trying to breathe new life into this land and community. and storm team 4 staying on top of the pop-up thunder showers this afternoon. who's up next, first at 4.

4:42 pm
>> the hives are expected to have honey in them within a few months. the university is hoping to expand the project if more money becomes available. d.c.'s bald eagle population is about to get a new addition. one of the eggs at the national arboretum has a tiny crack in it. here's a live look at the eagle cam there with a shot of the nest. the first crack appeared about 10:00 this morning. the first step in a hatching process that usually takes up to 48 hours. the famous parents are named mr. president and first lady. and they're been keeping watch for about a month now. another baby eaglet hatched two weeks ago in the grounds of the police training facility. you can find a link to the live eagle cam in the nbc washington app. just search eagle cam. >> and we'll be watching that clo closely. >> pretty cool. >> always. a popular do it yourself activity is gaining popularity online, but it comes with safety
4:43 pm
4:45 pm
4:46 pm
>> just wondering. >> it looked like hail and it sounded like hail, and it was. in virginia. and you can track all of this with the nbc washington app, and the latest enhanced storm team 4 radar when you're away from your tv. looking at your tv, you can see the radar showing these thundershowers that are diminishing now, no longer producing any of the hail that we had earlier in culpepper county. but that is really quickly diminished. and as we do look at the circulation in the atmosphere, you can see a little bit of a spin passing over the metro area right now, but most of the energy in the atmosphere is just to the west and south of us, where we're seeing those showers. that area in the green, that's along the 81 corridor, from near martinsburg, to winchester, and then south and east of there. there's a cluster of some showers, maybe a little bit of thunder with these. south of there, near warrenton. another band of showers, maybe a little bit of thunder in stafford and
4:47 pm
county, king george, and st. mary's it's weakened quite a bit. the yellow and orange, there may be a little bit of hail, otherwise it's just some passing springtime thundershowers and fairly innocent. 5, 6:00 p.m., still a few coming through, mainly south of the metro area, until about 8:00 this evening. going forward, it really breaks up and by 9:00 p.m., it's pretty much over and done. we'll have the cloud cover breaking up after that. so the pollen, well, that has been improved a little bit, where you got the rain, but where you didn't get rain, the pollen count has jumped. tree pollen now in the high range, yesterday it was moderate. and the grass and weed still in the low range, so is the mold. you're noticing it if you have allergies and you're affected by the tree pollen. 70 degrees now in washington, but it's in the mid 60s in st. mary's county, hovering near 7
4:48 pm
rain showers going through this. still a chance of a shower by 8:00 p.m. then clearing up by 11:00. by sunrise tomorrow, back down to near 50 degrees. by 11:00 a.m., back into the upper 50s. a breezy and cool day tomorrow. for the wednesday commute, sunrise, 6:57, you'll be battling that sun, near 50 around dawn and noon time for your lunch hour, the upper 50s and mid 60s during the middle part of the afternoon on wednesday. that wind mayi be gusting to 20 25 miles an hour. thursday morning, maybe down to just 40 degrees and then rebounding back into the upper 50s on thursday afternoon with increasing clouds ahead of a rain system. and that's the first exhibition game at nats park scheduled for friday afternoon at 4:00, 4:05 first pitch. looks like that's going to be a
4:49 pm
they play annapolis against the red sox on saturday. that game should be fine. sunday, partly cloudy, low 60s. opening day monday at nats park. they start the season and it should be fine. just in the low 60s. maybe more showers after that mid week next week. >> but that's not a bad forecast for playing some baseball. and you know what, since it feels like spring, it is time for baseball, and as tom mentioned, the crews are hard at work right now, trying to get nationals park ready for that big opening day. >> and we're getting a behind-the-scenes look. jim and wendy are in the newsroom with more. hey, guys. >> it's that time, chris and pat. we have two words, play ball. it's almost that time as tom showed us saturday with the exhibition. monday the big day. before you go to the ballpark, you should know about a few changes we're going to tell you about tonight at 5:00. >> also the team is trying to talk about attracting more women into the stands. so we'll be hearing from them how they plan on doing that. we're also working for

4:51 pm
tastes good, when you put it on a stick. >> i guess it could be anything on a stick. >> thanks, guys. see you at 5:00. >> watching them do that part of the story with the phone, you know, it's amazing how quickly this has become a part of our life. you need a ride, you tap the app. you get an uber. >> and now the ride-sharing company is offering a new feature. it creates a virtual slug line, matching drivers with commuters. news4 transportation reporter adam tuft shows us how it works. >> reporter: uber has a new idea for how we can all beat this, horrible traffic. it's an idea called uber commute, that they're launching. basically it builds off the slugging system that was popularized in northern virginia and that continues to be popular. you tap an app on the uber app, you get to commute with someone who lives close by to you, they'll show up at your house or
4:52 pm
