rested at 408. you've seen some of the winds and lightning. and college park in about an hour. these are not moving all that fast, that means they're going to be dumping a lot of rain associated with that, speaking of that, we've got chopper 4 up showing some of the rain. rain shaft right now. rain making its way down in and around the laurel area. this is part of the line that's just now developing right around where chopper 4 just lifted off. you can see the rain coming down there. heavy rain is going to be the factor. take a look back at storm team 4. you can follow that line through severe weather here through baltimore, right through our area and all the way back to the west, still a lot of activity with this. i expect some of these storms to intensify. severe thunderstorm watch for the entire area, that going until 9:00 tonight. we'll see you in a minute. >> all right. doug, if you don't have our nbc washington app now is a great time to get it that way

always have doug's forecast right in the palm of your hand. a woman's march against the nra is making its way through northern virginia. it started following a rally outside the national rifle association today. chopper 4 was above the crowd. there was organized marching today by the people behind in january. they'll march around about nra through fairfax to the department of justice here in washington. northern virginia bureau chief, julie carey is along lee highway along the route julie is using. >> >> reporter: we can't see them now yet. we do expect it to come this way in the next hour or so. now, this morning when things got started across the street from the nra headquarters out in fairfax county, hundreds of people gathered together. not all of them could take part in the march. this heat today has taken a

let's take a look at what it was like out there. this was around 11:30 this morning when they first stepped off and began the march. now, today's demonstration is time to coincide with a protest that's staged every single month on the 14th by northern virginia gun control activists. that date, the anniversary of the sandy hook school massacre. this march has drawn people from across the country. they believe the nra has dominated the conversation about guns for too long now and needs to be more forcefully challenged. among those that came in today, a survivor of the pulse nightclub shooting in orlando. that shooting claimed 49 lives, including two of his friends. >> there's a community of us out here that are done being pushed around by the nra, that are done being scared into thinking that we have to accept the status quo. there's a community of people that want to stand up and do something about it. >> reporter: now gun rights supporters staged

counter demonstration right across the street to the protesters. they tell me gun rights are no different than the free speech rights being demonstrated by the marchers they say all of those rights need to be protegted. as you mentioned earlier, marchers headed all the way to the department of justice. i talked with many of them along the way today. there are various reasons for why they are here. ahead at 5:00, you'll hear from an annapolis woman that will represent her niece who was shot to death five years ago. back to you in the studio. >> all right. thank you, julie. only on news 4, the family of a young woman is on a mission to get a dump truck driver off the streets. that woman was on her way to job interview earlier this week when a dump truck hit her leaving her seriously injured. this happened tuesday on south dakota avenue. on wednesday we learned this is not the first time that driver had an accident involving a pedestrian. news 4 pat collins has been on the story since the very beginng,

woman's family today. pat, tell us about it. >> well, leon, we have two pedestrians seriously injured runover by dump trucks, dump trucks owned by the same company. dump trucks driven by the same man. why is this guy still behind the wheel? let me take you back to the last accident here on south dakota avenue. the victim of the dump track crash has been identified as 23-year-old bianca butler. they say she was walking down south dakota avenue to a job interview when she was hit by this big dump truck. the truck belongs to fort meyer construction. bianca told her grandmother what happened. >> she say he at the stop sign and he didn't stop. that's what she

sign. >> he was at the stop sign, no light, it was a stop sign, she says. >> he didn't stop? >> no. >> reporter: now we learned the driver of the fort myer dump truck was involved in another serious accident two years ago when a fort myer dump truck ran over a student as he was crossing florida avenue northeast. that young man suffered life altering brain injuries, broken bones and went through numerous operations. sources say the dump truck driver then and the dump truck driver last tuesday was the same man, 62-year-old ismael alvarez. he was charged with a hit-and-run in connection with the 2015 case and the butler family doesn't understand why he was still allowed to drive a dump truck. >> but i don't think he should have been driving that truck. that's

me off he shouldn't have been driving that car. >> she'll be scarred for life. i'm very angry. i'm not going to say i'm not. >> reporter: you don't think that driver should have been behind that wheel? >> i really say the same thing. he should never be behind the wheel. >> reporter: now, alvarez is still awaiting trial on that 2015 hit-and-run case, the south dakota avenue accident is still under investigation. now, we've called fort myer construction on wednesday. we called him again today, still no response. coming up at 5:00, mothers on a mission, you'll want to see that. pat, back to you. >> pat collins, thank you, pat. maryland state police are trying to figure out what caused a deadly crash in charles county. chopper 4 flew over the scene on rock point road and the accident happened around 11:30 this morning. one person died at the scene and a second person is now in critical condition. let's go to northern

closely watched trial is now in the hands of the jury. >> they're delivering whether the young fairfax employee, park employee, murdered a beloved wedding caterer. the deadly stabbing happened last august during a wedding celebration. vaughn said it was self defense. prosecutors call it murder. northern virginia bureau, david, is live now outside the fairfax county courthouse. david, you sat through some very powerful closing arguments today. >> reporter: pat and leon, closing arguments, that means the last word for both sides here to weigh in before the jury began those deliberations. they started a little more than two hours ago. the prosecution coming out strong. they say that kempton vaughn who at the time was working for the fairfax parks authority they say he was the aggressor in all of this. they say he was antagonizing the wedding party. they say he's the one that went after her, pulled a knife out of

i want you to read along with me and hear what the prosecutor had to say. it's a 3-inch blade he stuck it into her. he was going for death. his attorney says no way, arguing, this was all self defense for his client. he says, johns attacked bonds and she launched herself at him. he was on the receiving end of felony strangulation. he had been the victim of verbal assault. you can see two very powerful back and forth arguments, one pushing for self defense, the other saying that bonds was the aggressor here. this is a courtroom, i can tell you, that is packed full of emotion inside from both sides and the out come could be one second degree murder, it could be a lesser charge of manslaughter or he could be acquitted of all of this, leon. >> okay. you've got a sense of the testimony and the evidence here and the sense of how it feels there in that courtroom, what's your sensory or what it's your take on whether or not this is actually going to end up in a murder conviction here.

days of testimony and a lot of evidence going forward. i've got to tell you. it's going to be really tough for the prosecutors here, they are facing video evidence and audio evidence. video that was recorded by bonds himself and it shows, what seems to be a very heated crowd, yelling a things at him, saying things to him that he says were threatening and comes across that way when you listen to the video, too. it's something the jury is going to have to see pass if they're going to go ahead with that full murder charge. if they had a question a short time ago, the judge referred them back to jury instructions, we'll be back in the courtroom to see when they'll come to a verdict. >> reporting live. a russian american lobbiest attended that 2016 meeting that president's eldest son had with the russian lawyer. another change of the account of that meeting, which was described as part of a russian government effort to help trump's campaign. rinart has been report today have

50 different small businesses up to $10,000 each to go completely cash freer starting with small restaurants, caves and food trucks. now, customers would then only be able to pay with credit or debit cards or use payments like apple pay. it will help with upgrades so that the businesses can accept global digital payments as well. >> so how is this done in the rest of the world. >> believe it or not, we're kind of behind, actually. in fact, sweden is leading the world as cash free society. here in the united states, amazon only accept credit cards and mobile payments and facebook recently appeared to pair payment option with messenger service. businesses who want to get in, they have to apply online in august and literally, they'll have to be kind of picked through the pack. >> what's the big incentive, with cash they don't pay anybody, they keep it all. if they use visa or

>> they do. >> or american express. >> exactly, that's the one thing we were thinking, what's in it for them, right. in a lot of cases they have to pay for it, they'll put in the systems for them and, you know, if robbery is an issue and they need to get rid of cash they're going after the small businesses, it's a way to remove the car from their systems. >> who knows? >> yeah, right. >> i like my cash. >> yes, all right. >> thank you, susan. >> sure. well, this is video you'll only see here on news 4, a bus driver attacked so badly he had to get stitches. where we caught the suspect on camera confessing to the crime. and a new complaint this time from inside the prince georges county school pro tip: giant has great prices on produce. raspberries for john... strawberries for amy... what's a jicama? thanks! take a fresh look at giant's produce prices.

washington and you can see, here is the -- this is called the shelf cloud as it moves across. once this area of cloudiness moves through, that's when the heavy starts and that's when you'll start to see it coming through the dc metro area, too. look at the current heat index of dc. 107 behind this line and leesburg now down to 78 degrees. look at the river at 109 degrees for that heat index. now this is what i wanted to show you. we've got the boundary moving through with the severe weather behind this boy do things get nice. look back towards pittsburgh, 83 degrees. 81 in state college. that's where we'll be tomorrow, much calmer conditions. it's going for high temperature of 90 degrees tomorrow. 90 on sunday, with much less humidity i'm not too worried about that, 91 on monday and tuesday, we get into the upper 90s again on thursday and friday. the next ten days i've got 90 degrees or better for the next 10 days including

he is that bus driver. montgomery ride on, he suffered these injuries tuesday and police say the man at the scene in the surveillance video that we'll show you from another bus is the suspect in that attack. now, it all started at about 12:15 a.m. on tuesday, on this bus running the 55 route, which runs between german town and rockville. it happened, specifically, near the shady grove metro station. that's where police pick it up, take a listen. >> the bus driver and the suspect were involved in the verbal altercation, at which point the bus driver attempted to contact the police to report the altercation. the suspect grabbed the phone and began assaulting him with the phone. the suspect continued the assault until the bus driver was able to get the bus safely stopped and opened the door. >> now, when that suspect got off, he later got on another bus, that's where that surveillance video comes in. he confessed to that driver about what he had done.

put that video out in hopes of catching that suspect. now, the video equipment on the bus where the attack occurred, that wasn't working. we spoke to an official from mdot who tells us they do take driver safety very seriously. unfortunately, in this case, those cameras had not been maintained so that that video was working. but fortunately they do have this other video and police are putting that out hoping to catch this suspect. later on news 4, we'll talk about this driver about the heroing ordeal. back to you. >> derrick, thank you. a long-time educator is no longer with the school board. dr. beverly anderson resigned in june. news 4 has obtained her resignation letter through a request. in the letter she said she's disappointed in county executive who appointed her. she says her experience in background were not valued by the school's chief executive officer. in a statement, baker said the school system has

our bureau chief tracy wilkins will have much more on the story coming up in our next hour. a promising new study about vaccines and the zee ka virus. mice there were savaccinated an then later they were infectd with the zee ka virus. turns out there was no trace of the virus. this is the first evidence that it could potentially protect vulnerable fetuses. many women looking for birth control are turning to their cell phones for help. >> you know, there are hundreds of fertility apes on the market right now that predict when women can or cannot get pregnant. here to tell you about one app being developed out in sweden. >> this is a pretty interesting idea that will appeal to a lot of people, i think. the ap is called natural cycles. the european union has officially classified it as a medical device, which makes

be certified for the use of contraception. there's evidence it may even be more effective than the pill when it comes to preventing pregnancy. here is how it works, first a woman answers a series of health questions, including the date of her last period and how long her cycle usually lasts. then she takes her temperature with the basil thermometer every morning and enters that into the ap after considering all of that data, then the app let's you know if you're having a green day or a red day. green meaning, you're not fertile and can't get pregnant, so it's okay to have sex. so red day meaning you should use protection. a swedish couple, who are both scientist, created the app. >> we created natural cycles based on our own needs for an effective natural birth control method. >> 75% users use it to prevent pregnancies and 25% use it to get pregnant. >> natural cycles conducted a

using their app and that study showed the app was 93% effective when it comes to preventing pregnancy. compare that to oral contraceptives, those are about 91% effective. the natural cycles company said it submitted their app to the fda, of course, that approval process will be more rigorous if further studies prove it works. it could be available here in the u.s. one day. in the meantime, health egs expert -- experts say women should be skeptical if they choose to rely on a fertility app. it is nice to have options other than pills or taking hormones or implants or sponges. it's a great idea. we want more information, though, i think about how effective it really is. >> there are so many apps out there. there are a thousand of birth control and fertility apps out there that are not regulated. what makes this one different and wha l

regulated and approved in europe and eventually some day here. >> you're right, there are a lot of apps already that help women track their cycles most of them to track the timing of menstrual cycles are also to with the objective of getting pregnant. it's a whole different story if you're relying on an app to prevent a pregnancy, people who created natural cycle that what sets their app apart from the other fertility trackers on the market, the fact that uses information about each woman's individual body temperature, her cycle, individually, and other personal data to come up with the red or green result. -- they're going to get fda

approval. still tracking the strong to severe thunderstorm. this is a big storm here, extremely heavy rain, a lot of lightning between bethesda and dc, you can see the severe thunderstorm warning encompasses parts of dc. prince georges county, as well as fairfax and arlington county. let's go to arlington county right now, this is right here, chris gordon, he's actually driving through some of this rain right now. you can see the rain starting to come down a little bit harder, it will continue to move in and let's take a look here. i want to show you, look -- come back here, go back, come to me, i'll show you what's happening here. this is our city camera, look at the heavy rain m coing in. you've got the extremely low dark cloud, these always precede, they come before the heaviest rain you can see that heaviest rain back here, as well. this is all rain

some nice weather. we're not under severe thunderstorm warning, we're also under heat advisory for the rest of the day today, that heat index was up to 107, coming to take a look at the heat and what it means for us for the weekend. >> the rain doing us benefit in the sense that it's bringing the heat index down as doug said, it fell about 107 degrees earlier today. take a look, when you factor in the temperature and humidity. this is rain cooled right now, about 81 in gaitersburg. look at where the rain is yet to come. feeling 110 degrees in those areas. so take a look at the humidity levels. this afternoon and even after the rain moves through, still going to feel out there over night tonight as well. it starts to become more comfortable both saturday and especially on sunday, you see that there, as well, in your headline, more comfortable for the weekend but then the humidity starts to move back in next week, but, doug, not only tomorrow, but especially sunday looking really great weather wise, lower

plenty of sunshine, splitting hairs, it's going to be on sunday because we have plenty of sunshine and low humidity in the forecast. not bad tomorrow, either. >> that humidity makes all the difference in the world. we're taking a look at the heat. look at this, the next 10 days we've got 90 degrees or higher. saturday and sunday, the next two days. the chance of storms moves up monday and tuesday, 91 degrees both days. the heat comes back, 93 wednesday. we've got a pair of 97s, thursday and friday. but the pattern fits 100 degrees. we could see 100 next thursday and friday maybe into saturday, as well. another heat wave in the making. tracking this storm and making its way right through the district, coming rite in through the beltway, a ton of lightning right now through dc. if you're living northeast, heads up this is coming your way. in through parts of prince georges county. this is coming into your area, as well. going to move right out 50. if you live around buoy. you had one strong storm today you'll about to get another one.
