bramp branches down. >> chopper 4 showing long delays as traffic was forced to squeeze by on the shoulder in laurel. national night out interrupted by sudden downpours in our area. people forced to run for cover. and underground, way underground. news4 gets a look at work metro is doing to stop the leaks during these strong storms. we'll get to metro in a moment. but first, let's go to doug. >> with all the rain that we've had, doesn't take much for trees to come down and streams to start coming up. >> no, it doesn't. when you take into account what we saw not just last week but during july, the ground definitely saturated, some areas last week, over seven inches of rain, today, some of the same locations, one to two inches. this goes back six hours, nothing going on. but right around the i-95 corridor, through the

one of the worst possible times to get storms like this, that's where we saw them and expect them tomorrow. right through parts of northwest, here's the sligo creek area where we saw a lot of the damage with the trees down. you can see some of the hail around tacoma park, too. that moved through fairly quickly. we saw severe thunderstorm warnings. now things are calm and will stay that way through tonight and most of tomorrow. humidity increasing over the next couple of days. better chance of storms tomorrow. i'll break that down for you. and then tracking that weekend forecast. if you have plans, we have that forecast for you. >> thank you, doug. well night wet nights like can cause major problems for metro's wet line. >> that water leaks down through the tunnels, leading to track fires. news4 got a look inside these tunnels four years ago. now metro is trying to fix th

situation, and we're back underground to see if they're making progress. >> reporter: take a look for yourself. this is what metro has been dealing with for a long time here, inside some of the tunnels between the medical center and the friendship heights station. the water literally just comes down, because these tunnels are beneath the water table. so when it rains, all that pressure just pushes down in here. metro says it has been doing a good job plugging some of the holes. you see some of the spray paint. they are brilling into the concrete to put a polymer substance in there, and it basically protects the entire tunnel from the water that's coming down. but a lot of these places continue to leak water like this one. but metro says it is making a difference. we'll continue to follow this story and make sure you stay with us tonight and tomorrow for updates on this issue. back to you. >> still got a ways to go, thanks, adam.

but if they did name it capital one, wouldn't people be confused and think it was names after the caps? >> the cap center. >> why not? >> so we going to dry out tomorrow? >> i think same forecast today -- or tomorrow as today. highs in the high 80s, low 90s. and some people have a better chance of getting the storms. today's storms would be most likely along the i-95 corridor and that's where they were. that's going to be the case again tomorrow. so tomorrow's rush like tonight's evening rush. we saw highs of 91 in the city, second day in a row with temperatures above 90 in the city. 91 in lorton. 92 in warrenton. frederick came in with 88 degrees with

currently, sitting at 78 degrees with winds out of the south at 3 miles per hour, clouds moving over head. it's going to be a very nice start to the day. 72 gaithersburg, 74 in fredericksburg. a nice, comfortable night. it feels a little more humid, but still pretty good. any of the rain we saw earlier has come to an end. not looking at any rain in our area overnight. most of tomorrow, just like today, most of tomorrow will stay dry. you can see what happened here. watch the storms develop. most of the region, all of northern virginia, southern maryland, staying on the dry side today. most of us are dry. back to the west, tracking a little system. a little stint back here, this is what i'm watching that will come through tomorrow. that's going to help bring us a few more showers and thunderstorms. we've been talking about emily, who came on shore.

this is a three-run shot, his first career homer. his wife tweeting she'll never hear the end of this. the teammates give him the silent treatment, then go crazy. nationals take a 4-0 lead. but in the bottom of the inning, some problems. scherzer throwing some warmup pitches and immediately signaling he's done, tells dusty baker his night is over. a stiff neck from sleeping on it wrong, hoping to be okay. the nats up 6-0. derek detrick sends this ball to center off the ball, an rbi triple for detrick, and that would be the difference. marlins come back to win 7-6. now, it was here in richmond when carol passed the baton along to me here at redskins training camp. today, the second straight day in pads. the play of the day, the week, had to be from terrell pryor, and a fan in the stands on the field were able
