new arrests, but no new movement on a controversial issue that effects all of us. first to our weather, as heavy rain hits part of our region. the radar still tracking a few pop-up showers tonight. >> doug has got a closer look at the conditions right now and the heat that's returning this week, doug. >> oh, man, i'll tell you the heat can be the bigger story as we head through the next couple of days. some of it extremely heavy. some of you going, if you are south of the patomic south of dc, almost no rain at all in those areas but just to the north, montgomery county, northern prince georges county, it was coming down. it was a little bit earlier, extremely heavy rain fall, prompted a flash flood warning which is still in effect, numerous roads were closed around the laytonville area. we saw reports of hail. you can take a look on storm team 4.

and still dealing with the thunderstorms, these pop up storms that are coming through now, look at the one at frederick, continuing jefferson county. this is what i told you earlier. we could see loudoun county. we did have one around the sterling area, a little one now. look at this one, just to the east of shepherd's town area and then this guy, the strongest storm now, not severe. but a lot of lightning with this right over chevrolet, right around the area, you can see route 50 as it makes its way out of dc. and if you make a line here, this is actually a little bit of a line that's trying to make its way down towards dc. we could see more showers develop in this area here. so don't think you're out of the woods yet, we're down towards the area, may see a few more storms as we move on through the rest of the night tonight. we hit a high temperature of 90 degrees down to 87 now. but could be near 100 by the end of this week and it could be prolonged hea

a barrier and u.s. capitol police cruiser at the intersection to second street. both the driver of the cruiser and the other car had minor injuries. police immediately turned their attention to that car, they cordoned off several blocks and brought in a remote-controlled robot. there were two disruptions, small controlled explosions set off remotely to disrupt any explosives in that car. finally a bomb technician was sent in to search the vehicle. shortly after that, police gave the all clear and both of those vehicles involved were towed away. >> now, unlike so many things that happened here on the hill that involved police incidents like this, most of what they do is out of an abundance of caution. as we said earlier, police do not believe there was a nexus of terrorism in this incident. they do want to know what prompted it. back to you. >> derrick, thank you. you may remember another security scare on capitol hill a few months ago back in march,

county, the investigation into this carjacking suspect from new york. >> -- this was the scene, for marlin miller and his wife, it was quite a wake up call. >> i think 17 police cars in the front yard. >> the bizarre incident that led here, started much earlier around 4:00 a.m. when this man, 22-year-old reportedly got a ride from an off duty loudoun's sheriff's deputy. he dropped a car off. soon after he realized his cell phones were missing. when he returned to confront, the suspect got hold of his service weapon and carjacked his personal suv. the manhunt was on. the clark county sheriff's office issued an emergency alert so residents would know the suspect was on the loose. that's where these cattle come in. when they started acting up, the men working at the farm
