experienced this paser su the potomac continues to have high water, high tide at 59 there's a coastal weather advisory for the district of e columbia so tidal basin, those areas, a.m. fog across the entire viewing area. we talk about that with temperatures and i'll shoou when we talk about the tidal potomac as it comes down from areas of montgomery county into d.c., from so skreealexandria a down. cooler to our west a bit. a bit warmer to our east. 71 degrees here and glendale coming in at 70 degrees.e' visibility showing again for us not bad here but we are showing the clouds will continue to dry out throughout the afternoon. a rain shower or two to our west. talking about the forecast, here it is for us. for usbe it wil cloudy, warm,

about 69 degrees. the extended forecast. columbus day first, anyone. temperatures in the 80s. there's the chance of rain for thursday, a slight chance but notice, summer continues for us. 80s, 80s and more 80s. gns of things to come. 58 degrees for a high temperature. low temperatures in the 40s. that's roller coaster ride we call autumn. >> it's a bit of a power struggle between the seasons. thank you, clay. reporters notebook is coming up next. >> we'll be back in 15 minutes with more of your day's top stories. goo'mmorning, pat law son muse. looks like d.c. workers who depend on tips won't get a raise. the city council approved emergency legislation to repeal initiative 77 wch would gradually raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour for tipped workers. opponents say it would hurt restaurants and workers. pporters say it's fair and overdue. chris lawrence and

transportation reporter am us the a-- tuss are with us this morning. many believe this is overturning the will of d.c. is?that what this others say it's about protecting the dining industry. >> well, they say that's the aim is to protect the dining industry but it is overturning the will of the voters four months ago, it hasn't been that long. the voters said we want there to be this $15 an hour minimum wage. the d.c. cncil and by extension also mayor bowser say we d't thinkhat's the best decisionor the distric and we're not going to let that stand. >> the first hike wascheduled to take place this coming week. that's not going to happen. what happens next. >> they have to take a second vote but from all accounts just a formality. it was 8-5 vote in the counci no one shows any signs of

changing theirte. the mayor could veto it but she's already saidng she's g support this repeal. i think what it comes down to is you have a lot oflower-wage workers, lower-income families whore not making nearly as much as some of the servers and bartenders who are working at some of these high-end restaurants at the premier venues in the city. a dot of them't want the minimum wage because they're making so much off tips they think they make more that way but you have a lot of people saying well, the lower end worker are the ones who could have been helped by this hike. >> people in the hospitality service, the otel servic would be getting tips when they normally don't get tipped but there does seem to be something st about this. it was voted for, people wanted

it and now the d.c. council is saying they're basically the stopgap for bad legislation that gets passed. >> and they'reot just talking about repealing initiative 77. we're talking abo real and replace. >> without really seeing its effects. i think some peeple might differently if we were a couple years down the road and we've seen revenue drop in restherants, we've seen hiring less workers. impacteen an appreciable but it hasn't even taken effect yet so in effect the council is saying we know how this is going to play out and we're not going to let it happen when in fact some of the studies that economists have seen even whether theta rants raise their prices there hasn't been much of a change in terms of theiremand or profits so -- >> why not let itla out?

>> there obama administrati's g vote. it is perhaps the most controversial plan for our ilgion. ng another crossing for the potomac county. but will montgomery county go along? this has been talked about forever and what do montgomery county leaders think what loudon county has come up with? >> every time i talk with somebody they say no way, absolutely not. loudon county supervisors have voted for a plan to put this bridge in theirong range transportation plan. they've identified two specific corridors, route 28 and the loudon county parkway where they say a bridge makes sense and could build this. they're saying it doesn't need

to be an merge legion type bridge, buthe on montgomery county side of thing, if you look in that section of loudon county, it's very developed. you swing over to montgomery county and it's all agricultural land, it's pristine and for the most part untouched. >> and that's what they want to protect. >> that's been the main sticking point is we're not sticking a freeway through this land we've worked so hd to protect. okay. that's theme ar. but loudon county is saying it doesn't have to be awa fr it can be scaled down. because rht now we're encouraging people to drive down 270, go across the legion bridge and backp route 7 or the dulles toll road or vice versa in these horseshoe shaped connections that don't make sense. we've been talking about this bridge for dehtdes. it me time to put action into plan here.

>> we've heard amazon hq 2 come up in this debate. might a new crossing make montgomery county more appealing to amazon? >> i don't thi you can argue it doesn't. one of the things that amazon ir doing and foremost and one of the first things they did when they dime thisea and don't forget we have three sites, they road the metro system and checked out the transportation network. if you're going to come a place, you wanto make sure your workers can get around in a lid fashion so loudon county supervisor says good luck, montgomery unty, if you think you're going to land amazon and aren't planning with connections like this. >> with all the growth along that dulles corridor, there are a lot of people living in montgomery countyomting into virginia for work. i wonder if that will put more pressure on some of the leaders. >> right now all you can dos go up to point of rocks and cross up there or go down to the

legion bridge and dlco o down ther take a ferry which i don't know even f that's even open so that is what is going on. i will s quietly behind the scenes while maryland leaders have for a long timeli py said they oppose this, there are a few people who are said to be thinking it could be a possibility. >> so what happens next? >>s what happens next like i mentioned loudon county leaders want to put this into a long range transportation plan to get it on paper. they're hoping that will facilitate a new discussion with montgomery county leaders. 'taders have said this is like a zombie that w die because they're so opposed to it. we'll see if this spawns a new discussion. >> we'll see. and we'll be back right after this break. stay with us. we just moved in about four months ago,

but the living room's pretty blank. it's really nice when clients come in and have done some of their own research. just kind of ties in very well. we love it!

>> it's something you don't see everyday or want to s -- an entire parking garage sinking. it's happening along the metro silver line. sinking into the ground. it taking place near the new innovation center in herndon. so what happened to the building? every building that's constructed settles. >> that'sd cal job security, pat. of course you don't want to see this and for all the pthblems silver line has had. we've documented it extensively here atbcwashington, the concrete issues along the second phase of the silver line.hi now you have entire parking structure, they got it to 65% complete before they figured out it was sinking int the ground. it's gone down about four inches in some spot which is doesn't sound lik much but it is when you talk about concrete and the way it settles and putting cars and something on that structure so what happened was that after

they got it to this point they started taking measurementnd noticed something was off so all the work has stopped on this structure which is tens of millions of dollars. i think the final price tag was over $50 million for this parking garage r and thel interesting part here is that in order to keep the cost doff of the silver line lower, fairfax county agreed to build several parking garages because they're expensi expensive fairfax county hired t ctor to build this and this is where we are. so this gets back to the contractor building the silver line and who is doing checks anr balances, thisng structure is supposed to fit into a larger plan of redevelopment for that whole innovation center area which for some people it's right by the cit building this that upside down cube looking building so the fact is

they don know when they're going to be able to get back in there to start continue building the structure so ty have the shore up the tifoun. they don't know a price tag of how the fes arend fairfax county is building this which means taxpayers are this so that's where we are with this. >> thiis near a possible new site for amazon. >> everything is around amazon. >> and speaking of the silver line, met voe talking about outsourcing the operation of the tire thing, what is this about? >> if you've been following dispute between the general manager and the largest union -- and they're not seeing eye to ye -- this is basically him thumbing his nose at them. metro has a serious problem with the largest union in that the pension costs are bleeding the lsystem dry. of money is going to that pension system and to health and

retirement benefits. the gm has figured out a way to not payth them, 's by hiring a private company that has to pay its own workers to run the entire silver line and this is a proposal. the largest union is like that's against the contract, you cannot do that. but this is the kind of thing -- and it's not unhear of. there are transit systems that have been outsourced to a third party. sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't but he is floating theh idea the silver line could be run by an outside entity and not metro workers. >> he, t general motoanager, is getting a hefty raise. a 10% pay hike would make him one of the country's highest paid public transit chiefs. the board vote was prettyer elming but is it an understatement to say the raises maybe rankle add few folks and has some folks questioning? >> well as am mentioned, it plays into this whole idea where

this conflict with the union. it's not just outsourcing the potential outsourcing of the silver line but outsources maintenance, not fillingom of the vacant positis. that has rankled the union. a lot of people look at the fact th metro has lost over 100,000 in the last ten years so they're looking at aower ridership but on the other hand reliability i up, you don't see as many track fires or rail car breakdowns and jack evans is apparently very concerned other transit agencies are just waiting to snatch up paul weedefield. >> and he's not wrong. and what jacks evans saying is we have to lock him up now before somebody gets him and the

board i hap with that performance. >> he hadn't had a raise since 2015. what is the expectation then during this next term? >> he has to bring riders back to t system and i don't think he knows for sure how he will do that. i'm not sure metroow knows they will do that but as chris mentioned they're down 100,000 trips per work day which is massive. they used t abe far away the second busiest subway system in new york. he has to find a way -- forget about uber, lyft, scooters, bikes, he has to find a way to get people to com back t metro and trust it. he needs to run more trains and they need to run on if you do that and you can deliver people reliably, the o costs are kin high for a metro system but if they get people from point "a" t b quickly you'll get people >>bac nd the workers are getting a

small race. >> there are some administrative workers. how will great was it to see the washington caps rocking the ther huge celebration at head. capital one arena as they took on the bruins and rekindle it had excitement we saw a few months ago. >> it's something about that banner being hoisted to the rafters. there's a sense of permanence. the celebration of the cup was amazing but when that banner goes up it's like a sense of history. those tngs live for decades. you hope there's a row so people look back and go wow, stanley cup champion this is year and this year and this year and

there is a is a definite difference where losing frg franchises will hoist "division winner." but this is we won the nba championship, we won the stanley cup. >>hee won super bowl. i'm an unabashed eagles fan. >> it'sel defin washington's moment. go caps. >> go caps. >> and can i say those are some class guys. we've had a chance to talk to them, they are nice guys. >> it was great t see ovi walking the red carpet. >> he'll jump in a fountain later. >> thanks, adam and chris. that's reporters notebook. i'm pat lawson muse. news 4 today continues. the fight is a over,t least

for now. embattled judge brett kavanaugh was sworn in as the country's newest supreme court justice. here's ack look at the roads that will be shut down a few hours from now. this tyear's armyen miler has a new route and plenty of closures to go along with it. police need your help finding this armed robber. you'reidooking at from a business on maple view place in southeast. happened thursday. police want to know who that man is. they're offering a $10,000 reward for information leadingn. to a convict on this sunday morning, good morning to you. i'm david culver in for adam. >> and i'm angie goff. so glad you could join us early as we begin this half hour. we want to bring in meteorologist clay anderson. clay, you were talking about clouds and fog that some of us were experiencing early. >> the sun will rise at 6:59 so we have a few more minutes.

judge things based on the constitution, that'sg. am that's everything. at last check, u.s. capitol police arrested164 people outside the capitol and theem sucourt. if it's sunday morning you have to talk about saturday night. "snl" in particular. "saturday night live" taking shots at politicians from both sides of the t aisle over kavanaugh confirmation but they mainly focused on the over-the-top celebrations as they put it from republicans. >> the last thing i wanted was to make this about me. that's why i told everyone to tune int 3:00 p.m. so i could tell all my female supporters, psych! >> that's comedian cecily strong pretending to be susan collins. this week there was no surprise celeb any the show. >> b awkwafina hosted.

we have much more on the nbc washington app. you'll find a detailed recap of yesterday's event and then "meet the press" host and nbc news political director chuck todd will join ustu ino to talk about the confirmation and what it means going forward. >> but before we talk with k, che'll tell you about traffic concerns happening today in the district and northern virginia. roads are starting to shut down here is rmy ten miler, a look at the race roud and roads that will be affected. a there are lot, the race starts before 8:00 and the course has changed this year. it starts on round 110, goes into rosalind, onhe to whitehurst free way and into the district. runners will go around the smithsonian capital before heading into the commonwealth of virginia. this hpening as the memorial bridge is also shut down for separate reasons because of repa work going on all weekend. if you have to go out and about

from virginia into the district, plan carefully. >> a lot of things to keep in mind. so with a surging murde rate this morning closure is in one case. a d.c. police made a quick arrest in the most cent killing. walter bailey was shot to death northeas police now have charged rodney canard with that murder. detectives have not revealed a motive for bailey's shooting. bailey is the eighth person to be shot in five shootings over two weeks along the benning road corridor. one of t shooting victims was a nine-year-old girl. d.c. police have increased patrols in the area. a certain type of lock could make your home a death tr. that's what fire investigators say happened to a fort washington woman killed after flames ravaged her ho. the fire started inside of this home thursday on old pmer road it h d thoseouble cylinder

dead bolts that require you to unlock both sides of the door with a key. firefighters found her near t to escape. prince georges county officials say this is the third fire this year where they have found those double cylinder dead bolts on doors. update to tell you abou the person who died on the beltway near the fairfax county/alexandria line. police in virginia need help finding the driver who hit the person and didn't bother to stop. state police say yesterday morning nathan dickersonthan off road, hit a jersey wall and then hit an rv. he jumped outf his c and that's when he was hit by on coming traffic. the first driver who hit tim le scene. witnesses describe that car as a red sedan. tomorrow, desks will be empty at a maryland performing arts schoolnd this is not because of the columbusay holiday. it's because students plan to walk out to protest mold found in their building. they attend benjamin faloulois

performing arts school.of cials say crews have wrapped up pipes and replaced ceiling times. a shiff's office is raising importance of breast cancer and the importance of early screening. out with ere decked pink ribbons. people made $10 donations and wrote down the names of their loved ones and survivors. the ribbons will be displayed and the money raid goes to virginia hospital center and its early breast cancer detection program so ittays local. >> i love that. now glowing in reston, virginia, a pumpkin patch like no other. the glow, jack o'lantern experience has landed at lake fairfax park, created scenes for

all ages to enjoy. those are carved out of more than 5,000 pumpkins. >> the walking trail is about third of a mile and features popular characters like "ha y in this town you have to have something political, right? so they got these presidential pumpkins on display and some u.s. landmarks. those are beautiful. >> we also found love and by far the best pumpkin in the house or in the patch, harry and meghan but this was a real hit with the kiddos, they have expert carvers on hand and they sit there and help the kids carve their own pumpkins. elorate displays. the glow is at lake fairfax park throughout the month of octer but the tickets, you can't just show up and buy them. you have to get them online. information l this on line. we had a great time. >> looks awesome. i wish they would haveth use harry and meghan picture with the journal fristist iist from e

crazy hat. oh, that was you.e ve clay anderson with us this sunday morning tracking what he considers tbe quite what he considers tbe quite ste roller coa

kaine: my dan an ironworking shop. i learned hard work and a trade from him and his workers. then i went to honduras as a missionary and taught kids to be carpenters and welders. our economy works best when everyone has a skill, like shipbuilding. that's why i created career and technical academies across virginia and passed a law to expand job training for young people. i'm tim kaine, and i approve this message. here in virginia, we have to build an economy that works for all.

i'm jennifer wexton, and i approve this message. female announcer:k' seen barbara comst fake ad? male announcer: jennifer wexton backed a deal leading to massive tolls on 66. female announcer: blatantly false. jennifer wexto66 fought the tolls o and let's call this plan what it is, the way that it's been rolled out. it's highway robbery. there's also healthcare robbery. barbara comstock voted to sabotage the healthcare market, barbara trumpstock -- hiking premiums up to 64%. everything that's wrong in washington.

the fight overutng brett kavanaugh on the supreme court could be over for now but the it could have an impact in november. >> moderor of "meet the press," chuck todd, with us on sunday morning. we look at what's been happening as far as the protests. you see howolarized everything is. we saw this as early as friday. what is your take? >> this is -- y ever go to a coastal town that has flood surge from a hurricane and then theyve these little signs that show you where each storm hit? this is the high watermark for florence, this is the highr watermark irma.

ois is one of those where you would put kavanau the sign in d.c., thomas left a mark, kavanaugh left mark bush v. gore left a mark, ken starr left a mark. these moments leave these indelie marks. i think what we don't know is how much impact it will have on the domidterms. it really fire up the republican base? do republicans show up to the polls to say thank you? does this anger them and they sustain that? some question about whether this is more wishful thinking on republicans' part versus data to back itup. the longer term impact, the supreme court had kind of been shielded from our partisan bickering or perception of total polarization. now they're part of it, too. so everything haske been down a notch or two whether it's the senate, the house, the presidency and now the supreme court andhat's what you wonder is the unintended con a major ruling come down and

people don't accept it. that's the b concern. >> what does this mean for the president? >> the only person here that has been helped is the prident. everybody else has had their reputations damaged in some form or other. everybody else has taken a hit except him. notot the republican party to just bend to his will, they're now him. that is what is amazing. they borrowed his tactics, his scorched earth take it to them deny deny deny, they hit you, you punch them harder, that style of politics which i think many in t town were trying to rejectoth democrat and republican. now you have a republican party embracing it and basically saying, look, winning trump's everything else that was how donald trump campaigned andhe n has a republican party
