we already showed you the road closures. it's looking good. not bad running weather. muggy with rain showers but we won't have building heat. temperatures are in the 70s right now and as we continue through the morning we'll top out into the mid 70s so we'll fall were a degree or two and then start to

so temperatures by later this morning will be right around the mid 70s which is where we are right now. rain we're seeing right now, that's from a frontal system. widen out this picture. you can see this front coming all the way from new england all the way back down from memphis into the deep south. winds at 85 miles per hour. it's been downgraded to a tropical sorm. winds at 70 miles per hour but boy is it moving quickly and that frontal system is right along the appalachian mountains to we'll see rain by the time we get into monday and then tropical depression but the heaviest rain along i-81. rain for our area today and tomorrow. temperatures still approaching the 80 degree mark. if you're east of i-95. you could get a half an inchf

inch along i-81. rain through the day tomorrow. heavy at times. maybe an isolated storm. nate is out of here but we'll have spotty shower activity on tuesday. wednesday and thursday just a chance as a little disturbance passes through. maybe a little bit warmer but maybe nine. >> imagine that. >> okay. >> all right. reporters notebook up next for you. >> we're back in 15 minutes with more of the morning's top stories. >> good morning. as the investigation into the vegas massacre continue twos families are reeling in the aftermath. a woman left fighting for her life. a west virginia woman's family grieving the loss of her life. meanwhile the gun control issue takes center stage again. a decision by d.c.'s attorney general could make conceal carry

permits ease wrer ier to get an a higher profile in the virginia governor's race. thank you for being with us gentlemen. >> first off i have to ask for some of your reflections about the magnitude of what we have seen happen. the impact on the people of las vegas and people here in the washington area. >> i think about you though pat because we were watching your personal impact given you're from there. that's a hometown community. you were giving some insight as to what this is like for you. i'm curious to hear how folks are doing and where do you go from here. >> it's personal for me being born and reared in las vegas and having family still there. and i just discovered a young cousin of mine, a young cousin was at the concert with her friend and were able to

the festival grounds by being thrown over the wall by a man that passed by them. >> that they don't know. >> that they don't know. and they hid behind a dumpster. it's the kind of thing that we saw and heard so many stories t about. vegas is an interesting place where guns are popular there but people feel safe. there's cameras everywhere and people go there to have fun and let their hair down and live on the wild side for a few moments so this is really jarring not just for those of us that are from there and lived there but for the people that visit and also brings to

>> family is by her bedside and i think the one thing that really jumped out to me was some of the planning in this case and you know there's balconies on a lot of the hotels. normally you're trying to protect the people in the room. i don't think anyone ever even considered someone using that as a snipers perch. >> one of the things that stood out to me is that day i was following along everything coming out of las vegas. i was so intrigued by what was happening and the update with the investigation and that night i decided to meet some friends

that be the topic of conversation. people were exhausted of tragedy. they didn't want to talk about it. it's not that they didn't think it was important but they were tired of carrying so much tragedy with them. we were talking about congressman steve scalise returning to the floor after he was shot and this point of exhaustion has been reached. >> it's raised the issue of gun control again and i'm wondering could this become a defining issue in a race that was so close. >> of course now it's coming up. the bureau chief brought that up to both of the candidates. initially saying he didn't want to go there yet. he says there will be ample time he wants to focus on the victims and getting through a very

difficult period. he says you have to look at gun control in a different way. especially when it comes to assault rifles. >> consider universal background checks of reinstating the law that restricts gun purchases. a law that expired several years ago. >> it's interesting. talking about the rivirginia governor race. that was the day after so this is the second time the issue of guns has been thrust into the race and there's an antigun group backed by michael bloomberg that planned t

three quarters of a million dollars. you have these two sides and they're both well funded and they're pouring a lot of money into this issue. >> talking to a state senator to your point given how personal and how local and it's going to certainly come up again and may have more potential. >> what about the office, an appeals court ruled that restriction is unconstitutional. it would make it easier for you or for anyone to get a concealed carry permit. >> it was. he would be because if you let it stand that you'll have more concealed guns on the streets of d.c. which is what the d.c. government long said they don't want but you push this to the supreme cou

they could say the 2nd amendment applies not just in someone's home but everywhere and then d.c., the gun laws could be changed completely. so you have to balance, if you're the attorney general in d.c., do you lose a little bit or do you fight for that little bit and risk losing everything that you want in this law. >> what a decision to have to make at a time when we're considering or seeing lawmakers consider banning them and not restricting silencers or restricting the sales of silencers. we'll be right back.

>> the president visited last week. the efforts are so great but the need is still so great. still getting supplies there is still a problem. >> that's the biggest struggle. you and i were reporting last week, two weeks ago really talking about all the things and you asked me how do they actually -- >> that huge warehouse. >> there's so much generosity here and you see that yet there's so much frustration and how does it actually get to the people down there because they know they're able to at least perhaps get it on a ship or plane but once it lands there's so much discussion of logistics. they're starting to mention meals. talk about putting words into action. thousands upon thousands of

shipped out to those that really need it. >> president trump made some what of a good point and it got lost with the throwing paper towels at people and saying you really wrecked our budget. that derailed what he was saying but he did make the argument that it's an island. it's a little tougher. it's not the same as getting aid into texas or florida. >> the coast. >> i saw this after the earthquake in haiti. people were wondering why isn't the aid coming in. as we started to investigate we could see where the ports had been wrecked by the earthquake so the ships were having a hard time getting in to off load. some of the roads were damaged or had debris on them so you couldn't truck the supplies from the port to where they were needed. the airport could only handle so many planes. er

challenges to getting the aid there and i think his message was muddied by the other comments. >> communication issues. how much we rely on cell towers and folks had not been able to reach their family for two weeks and some still waiting. it's incredible. >> another topic. millions of dollars for scholarships at the university of maryland t. school is getting a gift from the clark family foundation. they called this the most important day in the university's history. what's the story behind this gift? >> james clark graduated from maryland in 1950 with an engineering degree. didn't have a lot of money. he hitchhiked from home because he couldn't aff

board. he took that degree and went on to build one of the biggest construction forms in the country. he's the guy that basically built camden yards. commercial real estate. he built this huge company. the family wants to call it an investment and not a gift. what their goal is they want to double the number of students getting financial aid and that's what this money is for. >> that's huge. >> especially when you look at higher education. you could have a building named after you and those buildings help to serve education in a different way but to put it into the students and watch people inresting into their future and contribute back it's huge. >> and you both know college has become unaffordable. >> we were just talking about how much we paid versus what kids pay now or

10, 15 years. >> the challenge of getting into college now. the resumes they have to have. >> october is hispanic heritage month and we're planning a special program to honor the work, and contributions of our local family. you're working on a number of to stories. tell us about the pieces you're going to do. >> we have the nats playoff run and erica sits down with a couple of latino players. she will give us a preview of what it's like to mesh in the environment and live life here and hoping the nats do well. also a flavor of cuban ri thith so normally that's my realm but we spread the cuban rhythm and then i went downo

school. they are 60% hispanic in that community and so this high school found a way to integrate and embrace hispanic culture while at the same time providing the english requirements and necessities. but it's interesting to watch. we'll have that on october 14th for sure. >> what are you working on? >> some stuff for halloween, actually. a couple of stories. especially when it comes to allergens. my son had a horrible reaction to eating peanut buttercups. >> i love them. >> he ended up in the hospital. just one of the worst nights of our lives. you educate parents about safety

candies to look out for. >> when we were children we never had to worry about that. we ate it as we trick or treated and no one ever taught about or talked about life threatening reactions. >> a lot of the schools now have strict regulations and you have bring it to the office first. >> you tell the kids don't eat it until you get home. >> sometimes that works and styles it opportunity. >> i get to inspect just to make sure that things are helpful for. >> some of the people are great and well meaning. >> but it's the 10%. >> right. >> good chatting with

that's reporters notebook. i'm pat lawson muse. news 4 today continues. >> nate now a tropical storm. it made a second land fall overnight. nate was the first hurricane to make land fall in mississippi since katrina. >> the maryland native shot in the head in las vegas is doing better. her family posted on go fund me that the young woman has been able to breathe on her own for a little bit. doctors say some of her organs are working again. she's been if the coma since the

shooting. >> ryan zimmerman took the team over the top with the following 3-run homer. tied up one game a piece as it heads to chicago. game three tomorrow. >> after a win like that it doesn't matter. like what happened to you last night. it doesn't matter if there's rain, shine, whatever. everyone is in a happy mood today. >> they are. the park was electric because it was so unexpected. >> they waited long enough until the bottom of the 8th to come back but that's what this is all about too. >> hopefully you'll have a full beard. >> good sunday morning to you. thank you for start yourg day with us. >> once again we are preparing for a muggy day. >> we are. >> and a rainy day. this will be
