good morning. i'm pat lawson mousse. >> i'm chris lawrence. we're following everything about that terrible mass shooting in las vegas. we just learned that stephen paddock may have traveled to boston and chicago to try to scope out those locations. in other respects, it's as though the fbi is chasing shadows. he led a quiet, private life. >> this morning investigators are hoping to talk to a woman who was seen with him just days before the massacre and they believe at some point before sunday he likely had help. nbc's jay gray gives you the latest from vegas. >> reporter: while police are certain there was only one gunman during the killing spree, they now acknowledge during the years he was collecting weapons and then as he moved rifles and thousands of rounds of ammunition into place stephen paddock may have had some help. >> you got to make the assumption he had to have some help at some point.

>> reporter: while investigators are now piecing together a timeline of paddock's life before the massacre, they're still no closer to a motive. >> we look for actual indicators of affiliation, of motive, of intent, and so far we're not there, we don't have those sort of indicators. >> reporter: what they do know is there was a significant amount of explosives in his car. thousands of rounds of unspent ammunition in his hotel room, and some of the guns apparently jammed during the attack. while they won't say what it is, investigators do say there's evidence paddock expected to survive and escape after the attack. more than 100 federal agents and police continue to search for evidence and answers. >> we will get to the bottom of this no matter how long it takes. >> reporter: wednesday, the fbi questioned his girlfriend, marilou danley, and say she is cooperating fully with the investigation. in the days leading up to the attack, paddock apparently spent time with another woman. investigators would like to talk with her as well.

is out around the country. >> reporter: the irs tells news 4 it works well with trump hotel security and constantly monitoring security. but tonight on news 4 at 11:00, details from an internal irs e-mail sent last year that acknowledges security concerns. scott mcfarland, news 4. hillary clinton was back on late night tv, this time the tonight show. if you're a fan of the she ythe know one of the most popular segments is jimmy fallon's thank you notes. last night they did a special thank you to clinton. >> thank you, hillary clinton, for handling this difficult transition with more grace than i ever could have imagined. that being said, call me day or night and i will be there with a gallon of ice cream and two spoons to tell you, girl, you are so much better than him. >> you showed girls everywhere that politics isn't a popularity contest. because if it were, you would have won by about 3 million votes.

to help feed thousands of people who are still without water and power. dory gentzler got a look at the impact he's making on people's lives and why we should all be doing what we can to help. >> puerto rico is not a far away country. puerto rico is america. puerto rico is all of us, and we have to make sure we don't forget this island. if not, we are forgetting who we are. >> you can watch dorian's entire report on the nbc washington app. just search chef jose andres. big news will be headlining -- big names will be headlining a benefit concert for hurricane victims all over the country, but the top billing is not really going to a band. it's to our former president. presidents obama, george w. bush, george h.w. bush, bill clinton and jimmy carter will headline deep from the heart later this month.

a&m university is being organized by the george h.w. bush presidential library foundation. turning now to the weather, it's going to turn wet, sheena, and we need rain. >> we do. >> how much could we get? >> we could get quite a bit, depending on where the center of the storm goes as we go into early tuesday morning. we have a tropical system that we're watching and it could be bringing us some heavy rainfall but we'll see some scattered showers starting on sunday. >> nothing until then? >> nothing until then. tomorrow maybe a few showers up toward north but most of the area stays dry until about sunday. that's our next chance. until then we're looking at 80s. back in the 80s today. this afternoon we'll be in the mid to low 80s. 80s into the weekend and then we're watching that tropical rain. right now it is way, way to our south. i'll show you that in a minute. right now 67 degrees washington, 77 lees

warrenton. this is ruby. you can adopt ruby if you need or want a dog to walk. lunch time temperatures in the upper 70s. 4:00 p.m. 83 degrees. it's going to be warm today. tomorrow though, the nats game, the big start to the playoffs, we're looking at temperatures in the mid 70s by first pitch. by the end of the game mild around 70 degrees. here's what's going on. we have the warm air covering most of the country. the cool air is kind of tucked away in parts of the pacific northwest. eventually that cool air will come back, but it's not going to be until late next week. so until then it's going to feel a little more like summer around here. here's a look at tropical storm nate. so this one was just named this morning. it is a tropical storm right now. it's right on the coast of nicaragua and honduras and it's going to head north into the gulf of mexico. potentially a category 1

florida panhandle and then it heads this way into early next week so that's where our higher rain chances start to come into play. until then, dry for the end of the week. into the week, mid 80s. you see the rain chances starting on sunday, continuing monday. we'll look at your entire ten-day forecast coming up. >> thanks, sheena. this morning virginia senator tim kaine called on congress to do more to fight the opioid epidemic and at this hour senators are hearing from top health officials about what can be done. >> say a command. and it's the technology that's meant to make our life easier but there's new evidence alex: when i was 11 years old, a man broke into the house and he sexually assaulted me.

but there are so many survivors that live knowing that their attacker is still out there. ♪ thank you mark herring, for taking this seriously, and for making this a priority, for all of the victims out there. mark: i'm mark herring, candidate for attorney general, and i sponsored this ad.

now on midday, new safety warnings. seems all the fancy technology that they're putting in our cars these days is adding up to more distraction. >> it seems like even just turning on the radio or the ac is a lot more complicated than it was a few years ago. some of the researchers at aaa found people take their eyes off the road for 40 seconds at a time. 40 seconds, that's hard to believe. nbc's tom costello has been out driving with some local experts. >> reporter: the q 7 offers amazing sound systems. in the 2017 new car market -- >> ram's new system

elegant design -- >> reporter: it's all about technology. >> to view messages, just drag the scroll bar up or down. >> reporter: interactive full screens, voice commands, e-mail, text messages, music, navigation, phone calls, wi-fi hot spots and full connectivity. >> for all intents and purposes you're a mobile command center. >> reporter: this morning distracted driving researchers say all that technology is taking driver's hands off the wheel and their eyes off the road. >> tune a.m. 8:30. >> reporter: watch as this driver in salt lake nearly hits a woman in the crosswalk, and this one nearly runs a stop sign while using a touchscreen. aaa and the university of utah studied 120 drivers trying to use the technology in 2017 models. of the 30 vehicles tested, 23 demanded high or very high driver attention to use the interface. some drivers were distracted for a full 40 seconds. on a closed maryland parking lot, i tried changing the radio station

researcher david strayer. >> how do you change screens here to even get to a different -- from a.m. to f.m.? >> watch how long my eyes are off the road. again it's a closed course. i then tried a voice command for a phone call. >> dial. >> let's try again. say dial. >> reporter: just changing the temperature can require a t touchscreen. >> i'm spending so much time trying to figure out how to make a phone call or change the radio i'm not even looking at the car ahead of me. >> they're much more distracting than talking on a cell phone. >> reporter: in a statement the automotive industry takes issue saying researchers continue to make no attempt to tie their results to actual crash risk or accurately simulate how drivers actually use these systems in the real world. but the aaa researchers disagree. >> by building these systems into cars, consumers assume that they're safe to use and this research shows clearly that that is not necessarily the case

some auto makers do require the vehicle to be stopped in order to type in navigation or complicated commands, but aaa says 40% of the cars it tested allow the driver to type in those commands while they were driving. two-thirds of adults in this country think the nation's opioid addiction crises is getting worse according to a new poll from pbs news hour. already this morning we've heard a lot of agreement in the senate. >> america's opioid overdose epidemic affects people from every community and it is one of the few public health problems that is getting worse instead of better. >> the amount of opioids prescribed in the united states in 2015 was enough for every american to be medicated around the clock for three weeks. >> the senate committee on health, education, labor and pensions is meeting right now to evaluate the federal response to this mounting crises. one challenge, addiction isn't a one size fits all

institutes of health testified that nih research is helping to provide an array of options to treat addiction disorders. objecting domestic violence awareness month and news 4 is working to shine a spotlight on the issue with our series of safe at home reports. today we are focusing on a new law in maryland that could help victims. denise mccain is director of the family justice center. she's here to talk about it. welcome back. >> thank you. >> there are a lot of new laws. one of them is amber's law which takes effect or took effect and helps to better track domestic violence offenders. tell us about this law and why it's so important in maryland and in the county at this time. >> absolutely. as you pointed out, amber's law really involves enhanced technology. so when we're looking at orders for protection specifically, the court is now able to provide an individual who's filing for an application for statement of charges for

keep them and their family members safe such that this individual would be required to stay away from them, but again specifically, in certain locations where this individual would be. the nuance or what's happening with amber's law is this could also include electronic monitoring such that the defend or the abuser in this situation would be required to wear a monitor that would notify the victim if this individual were to come near them or any location that they were not allowed to be in. >> which could make a big difference for someone who is hanging around a person who they're threatening and could give the victims, potential victims, a better sense of security and peace of mind. >> absolutely. and i think that's so important because realistically when you think about it, a protective order is just a piece and paper and we have seen and what we know is that that does not prevent people from violating,

that they were told or ordered to stay away from. the one thing i would like to point out with this new legislation is that it is incumbent -- extremely important for advocates to request or ask victims to specifically request this because if they don't ask for it they won't get it. it will not be offered. >> there are other new laws that have been crafted to protect domestic violence potential victims. tell us about those. >> one which i think is extremely important, a new change with the law regarding sexual offense. sexual abuse is a form of domestic violence as well. what this new law does is it says that signs of evidence of physical resistance is no longer required as proof that someone was actually sexually assaulted. so what that does, it makes it much easier, it reduces that burden of proof for an individual but in addition it protects the visit but as you know, when there's a struggle, when they fight, they tend to en

that's one great change. another new law that goes into effect, went into effect, is now with divorce proceedings. protective orders are now admissible for someone who is filing for divorce. in the past you couldn't bring any of that into a case but you can, as well as any violation of a protective order. so these are some of the things that are going on that will definitely enhance safety and protection for survivors and victims. >> okay, important new laws. >> absolutely. >> important to know what the laws are. denise mccain of the family justice center, thanks so much. >> thank you. my pleasure. we have important information about domestic violence and the help that is available to victims of abuse in our area. it's all in the nbc washington app. search safe at home. as we get deeper into october, haunted houses are pretty common this time of year, but this one's a little different. it was a haunted pep rally. a look inside as we get you rey for playoff basebaladl

every time. so we've got our fingers crossed. we'll be anchoring from the field tomorrow morning on news 4 today. >> the cubs fans dealt with that heartache for over 100 years. they're going, you have nothing to worry about. with baseball coming normally this time of year we're talking about chilly start to the game and how are the pitchers going to react. it's going to be like july. >> it's going to feel like baseball weather. >> yeah. >> it really is. it's going to be baseball weather all over again. so hopefully it will be good for them. usually when it's more humid out you have a better chance of home runs because the ball is more buoyant in humid air and carries further. so the humidity will be up just a little bit more as we go into the weekend with warmer temperatures. 69 degrees right now is the temperature in washington. we have some thin clouds around the area but we're really just going to stay nice and dry today. you'll see that mix of sun and clouds. take a look at our warming trend. i would call this baseball weather for su

florida panhandle and then get wrapped up in our next weather system and become a rain maker for us. 40% chance of scattered showered sunday. monday into tuesday morning we could see some of the heaviest from that tropical system. the weather behind it, we are back down in the 60s. >> thanks, sheena. my wife swears by dry bar. i don't have much use for it myself unfortunately. >> she likes it. >> yes. you're going to meet the woman behind the blowouts only salon chain that's loved across the country. believe it or not she was once a stay at home mom just like some of you watching right now. >> yes. and google is out with some new products today. the hype behind new reless hewiad
