i'm storm team 4 meteorologist chuck bell. we have an en lanced risk for strong to severe thunderstorms this afternoon into this evening. your afternoon/evening commute could be heavily impacted by severe weather. i'll show you the threat coming right up. let me be very clear here, as it has been since the beginning, the president is not and has not been under investigation for obstruction. >> one of

personal attorneys sending mixed messages. he's denying the president is under investigation for obstruction of justice despite the president's own tweet that appears to say he is. that is one of several interviews the attorneys did sunday morning proving the team is on offense. >> tracie potts is live on capitol hill trying to help us understand all this. it's the big question over the weekend. tracie, how is he explain the president's tweet from last week? >> he says the president is directly referring to an article based on unnamed sources that said that the president was being looked at by the fbi as they take a look at this russia collusion question, possible collusion with the trump team. but there is a direct conflict here. the president tweeted and i quote, "i am under investigat n investigation." twice he calls it a witch hunt. his attorney on the talk shows said the president is not under investigation. he also said

under investigation. >> you know, i know russia has been dominating all the talk here in d.c., but we know they're working on health care which is going to affect all of us. how close are they to pitching a new plan? >> could be pretty close, chris. they're talking about two weeks for a possible plan to be thrown out there as a new bill. mitch mcconnell the majority leader says they may have something to show in a couple of weeks. other republicans, like marco rubio say that may be too soon. >> all right. tracie potts. thank you very much. we'll check back in with you a little later. 4:46. a heartfelt message was posted to the account of house majority whip steve scalise. the post said steve's greatest joy is being a father to his children. it goes on to encourage all of us to, quote, take the time to be close to the ones you love. the congressman is in serious condition. he and several others were shot whil

congressional baseball game. people living in the delray community in alexandria where the shooting happened are still waiting for that baseball field to reopen. but they're happy that they can once again enjoy the things that they're used to doing. >> i feel good because i feel there's no more danger. >> get back to normal. >> for real. >> we're coming today because we have friends who were here, like how they've been. >> matt mika remains in the hospital. he could soon leeftave the icu. a person found dead inside a burning car. police calling the circumstances surrounding that death suspicious. the car was found burning saturday morning at a home an excalibur lane. we could learn the identity of the

lake in gaithersburg. they were searching for a missing 13-year-old when they discovered a body the ground keeper found and teenager's personal belongings near that lake on saturday. if you ride your bike or walk in arlington county, you know how dangerous it can be at busy intersections. now changes are coming to several spots to improve safety. the arlington county board approved the $1.7 million project to put new traffic lights and sidewalks on arlington boulevard at park drive and manchester street. the county will also spend $2 million to improve several intersections along the trail and the washington and old dominion trails as we know it. starting next week, it's going to cost you more to ride the bus or rail on metro. that's because fare increases begin on june 25th. that means that you will pay an extra 25 cents to take the bus. it's going to cost between $.10 and $.25 more to take

run that system. let's hope the ninth time is the charm. tonight, nasa will try to launch a rocket in virginia. it contains canisters of colored vapors and once released, scientists are hoping to be able to study how air moves at high altitudes. now, the launch had to be delayed last night because it was too windy. if it happens, you're going to be able to see the show between 9:00 and 9:20. looking forward to the -- >> all kinds of colors, right? >> i think the tenth time may be the charm. >> i looked at the forecast and i'm like, yeah. >> right now we -- the process of elimination, keep the cloud and the wind, i don't know whales can pop up. >> it's likely to be a stormy night here and in highland. if we can get to tomorrow, things really look much quieter around here for tomorrow on into wednesday and thursday. so three possible launch days

an uphill struggle. we have a flash flood watch. that was just issued a few minutes ago by national weather service. a flash flood watch that does include all of the d.c. metro area. prince george's county, arlington county, fairfax county, prince william county, loudoun, anne arundel, all under the flash flood watch from 3:00 to 9:00 today. the timing is where we are most likely to see strong or severe storms. not much going on, on radar. but there are even thunderstorms here in the early morning hours across parts of ohio, pennsylvania and new york. so already thunderstorms out there. a risk of severe weather around here. marginal risk in the shenandoah valley. an enhanced risk in the d.c. metro area. primary threats, damaging winds and hail. but because of the slow-movin

nature of the storms, heavy rain. you could easy pick up 1 to 2 or 3 inches of rain in less than an hour's time from the individual storms. early this morning, i couldn't rule out a passing shower or two between 7:00 and 9:00 this morning. then we start of wait it out for late morning into early afternoon. temperatures mid to upper 80s. once we're above 85 degrees. there's that line of thunderstorms expected to be on the i-95 corridor between 5:00 and 7:00 p.m. the evening commute could be severely impacted by severe weather. temperaturewise, in the 730s and breezy this morning. again, highs today generally speaking up into the mid to upper 80s. severe storms are likely here in between 3:00 and 9:00. have your nbc washington app downloaded and our interactive radar feature ready to go to track the severe weather as it comes towards your neighborhood. low humidity the next couple of days. chance for thunderstorms on
