tropical storm harvey now just sitting over texas. it is expected

as 40 inches of rain in some parts of the state. one person is dead, at least a dozen others are hurt as first responders rushed to find shelter for those in need. now, the victims of harvey are going to need a lot of help. in fact, the need is growing by the area. the red cross in our area has sent resources and more assistance that way. news 4 jackie bensen continues our team coverage. live from fairfax red cross headquarters. >> reporter: we spoke to paul cardin in corpus christi, close to some of the most heavily hit coastal areas. >> we got 15-plus shelters open. we think the number of shelters will increase during the overnight. >> reporter: sobering words as officials attempt to figure out how much damage the storm has inflicted so far. shelters are in immediateee

the potential for chemical and crude oil spills. all right. we come back to storm team 4 meteorologist samara theodore now. so hurricane, flooding, tornados. i mean it is one thing after the other. are the tornados synonymous with this? is this normal in a situation like this? >> absolutely. when we are dealing with hurricanes, tropical storms, it is not uncommon to see tornados, especially landfall and one or two days after landfall. when you look at the anatomy of a storm, it is usually the right upper quadrant where they will see the biggest tornado threat. that's relative to the storm's motion which is moving east-northeast right now at one mile per hour, so nearly stationary. this is the area more prone to tornados. when we turn on the map right now to show where the tornado

earlier, that is exactly the area of the storm that is being impacted there. so areas like houston, galveston, lake charles, louisiana all under a tornado watch right now. they're dealing with the storm surge as well as the flooding. so i'm going to go ahead and push through, show you the track. looks like a total mess, like it is not even moving. that's the case. one mile per hour, it is really just meandering, harvey. it is going to continue to meander and linger into the top of the week for a lot of people before pushing further inland. they're going to be seeing exorbitant amounts of rain over the next couple of days and that will be one of the major issues along with the storm surge and the tornados. we're going to keep our eyes on harvey. but myself, the storm team 4 weather center and national hurricane center have their eyes on a disturbance off the coast of florida and the carolinas that will continue to skirt up the eastern seaboard. that will bring our next rain chances as we head to the top of your workweek. i will show you that specifically on the ten day. for now i want you to know we

calm, tranquil, quite the contrast to along the texas coast. 72 degrees. as we continue to head throughout the evening it will be brisk, reminiscent of fall. as we head throughout sunday, absolute perfection. green light for everything. yard work, great time to do it tomorrow as well, afternoon barbecue, why not. pool nicer in the afternoon as we start to see things heat up. if you're going to hit the pavement, temperatures in the morning upper 60s if you like a brisk run. by the afternoon we're looking at mid to upper 70s and closer to the low 80s by about 4:00 or 5:00 in the evening. here is a look at the ten-day outlook. we move into monday, there's a chance we could see some afternoon showers on monday. highs in the upper 70s. by tuesday, that's when we will be monitoring the disturbance, the area of low pressure. that will bring a hans for showers as well as thunderstorms. pretty breezy, and we could see the showers linger into early wednesday. now, if you've been wondering where has summer gone, well, it is going to be coming back. temperatures are going t

we'll be seeing temperatures actually nearing 90 over labor day weekend, and we are going to be monitoring rain chances. for now things are looking good. >> samara theodore, appreciate it. we aren't expecting severe weather in the area for the weekend, but we want to remind you that our nbc washington app can help you stay safe. you can sign up for breaking weather alerts. you heard amelia talking about it. that's how they were using the app to stay safe in houston where they were at. you can download the app. up next, the nationals weren't happy after their loss on friday night. co

this is the xfinity sports desk. >> chris myles here in the csn studios. over the last five years the red skins are 16 and 4 in the preseason. they've made the playoffs twice in that time period. what that tells us? their 0 and 2 start this preseason so far means absolutely nothing. what does matter is being more effective on offense. don't be fooled by decent stats in the first preseason game. the first team offense went three and out on their own lead, two drops. in the second preseason game against the packers, the burgundy and gold had four ugly drives and finally scored against the packers, second team defense. offensive coordinator matt cavanaugh could use excuses like not having jordan reed, but he sounds more solution-based. >> we have high expectations. we want to be more efficient running the ball, solid in protections, we want to be accurate throwing balls and guys getting open.

we go out. you can say, well, good thing it is a preseason because we haven't been sharp for a couple of quarters, until the second quarter of the last game we kind of picked it up a little bit. we need to go out and start fast. >> nine nfl preseason games tonight. bills and ravens on the docket. former baltimore backup taylor was sacked. trying to escape suggs in the first quarter and did not return. he suffered a concussion against his former team in the first half. he was replaced by nathan peterman. ravens won a defensive battle 13-9. take a look at how other teams from the nfc looked. cowboys defense not getting the job done. carr tossed 144 yards, two touchdowns. cooper caught four passes for 78 yards. cowboys second unit played better and ended up getting a win, 24-20 the battle of new york or technically new jersey, giants,

jets. giants taking full advantage of the jets terrible quarterback situation. christian hackenberg finds landing collins. that's big six time. second quarter, same result. hackenberg still does not realize he's supposed to be finding guys wearing white, not blue. dionne with a second pick six. now to 12 points. hackenberg wanted to be responsible for. giants jump ahead 29-3 and win 32-31. nats, mets. the curly w's came out blazing on the base pass. anthony rendone brings home kendrick in the fourth. d.c. to 6-1 lead. the mets chip away in the eighth. they make it a game again. that's flores, slicing his way to a bases-clearing double. nats lead come down to two. kendrick has been clutch since coming to the district. that showed up again tonight. this 24th game with the nats, this is his

[ chuckles ] relax. i got this. putin's going to make everything okay, huh? i promise that we will take care of america. it's the most expensive thing we've ever bought. now, i know many of you americans are skeptical of president trump. many russians were skeptical of me at first, too, but today, nobody ever seems to hear from any of them. it's like they're gone. it always works out. so why are american women protesting, huh? in russia, women have no reason to protest. listen to this woman. >> hello. i am olya, a russian woman. i am so happy. each day, i wake up with big
