. this is probably all over your facebook feed at some point, but the chaos of the fyre festival in the bahamas. some people are just getting home after the music festival was canceled last minute. this was supposed to be a luxury event with tickets costing thousands of dollars. but some said when they got there there was hardly any food and no security. we are told they will all get to go for free next year. >> i don't think they will go back. edge charand charges are pe against a mom who may have ud

her toddler to help shoplift. i went through the video myself. two women go into the freery religion store at tyson's center. what you just saw there appears to be one of the women stuffing clothes right into the baby stroller. it happens really quickly. if that happened back in february according to police, now investigators believe deandra smith may be one of the two women they arrested this week for allegedly trying to steal from the apple store at tyson's. no kids with her in that tape. all right. 9:11 is your time on this saturday. keep hydrated. that should be your goal today. especially for the hottest day of the year so far. we'll have the best time i

affect the way you get

good morning on this saturday. we are showing showers and thunder coming in from the west and tracking across maryland and virginia. later today, if you plan to get outdoor exercise. by noontime, it should be partly sunny climbing into the lower 80s.

mid-afternoon. after that we may get some passing thunderstorms. keep that in mind. the best time to be out and about will be after another hour into the mid-afternoon. you'll be out getting exercise. look at the other chances for storms over the next ten days in a few minutes. tom, we'll see you in a little bit. right now crews are wrapping up a big job on metro that could affect you if you drive into northern virginia. all weekend long crews are taking down a power crane at the herndon station part of phase two of the silver line. the work started last night at 10:00. it's not going to wrap until 5:30 monday morning. as for what is happening now on metro, we're almost there. but the last safetrack surges could cause some major disruptions. metro announced it will close several stations instead of keeping them open and stable tracking trains. this is going to make things move faster. here's wt

metro is closing 15 orange line stations. new carollton, landover, cheverly, deanwood and minnesota avenue. for surge 16 on the red line, the shady grove and rockville stations will be closed until late june. once all the safetrack work is finally done, metro will cut back its hours to get more work done in the overnight. remember, the fare increases take effect come this summer in july. now to a story that you saw first on 4. hundreds of d.c. government employees will start noticing less money in their paychecks next week. it's not going to fall. the former workers did not have medicare checks withheld from their paychecks. the problem dates back at least a decade. and the cause could be a range of issues. i

collection of many things. it could be, which is why we would need somebody to take a look, it could be from codes used over prior years that may have migrated from different systems. it could be the human error. it could be many different things that influence how people record or suggest taxes so we would need the root cause analysis. >> well, we are told that the problem was discovered after a review of the city's retirement system started last month. d.c. government workers impacted by the mistake won't have to pay the money back. the federal law requires the employer pay the i.r.s. and current employees to expect less take-home pay every week starting with their next paycheck. all right. so this is a story that surprised the two of us. a growing mystery out of waynesboro, virginia, concerning cats and who is going around shaving them. so the city of waynesboro, this is a small place. someone knows something. somebody is

the mid-80s by 6:00 p.m. back down to 80 by 9:00. then by dawn, the upper 60s. the afternoon high, below 80. not as humid. then on monday, up near 80 with showers and thundershowers monday night. gorgeous tuesday and wednesday. showers and storms around on thursday, but by friday, mostly
