your driver to speed and don't cay open alcohol containers. one more way to score a better rating with your driver is simple gratitude, right? so, before you lenke, say t you. now, you can also see your uber rating on the app, just after your first five trips, though and it's not as easy with lyft. c you can ask your drive for it nd ask.act the company >> or, you could alsove l tip. >> that will help. >> so, doug, this hurricane michael is movingo much faster than florence, it's going -- it's already over for a lot of people who had the worst of it today. >> yeah, areas likey panama c beach, i mean, you wake up this morning, here comes the storm and before you kw it, you get the worst of it and it's out of there, they're able to start cleaning up right w, six hours through the worst of it. rmorence was a couple of days, because that s was only moving at two, three miles an hour at one point. this storm, michael, now moving

at 20 miles per hour. and it's only going to pick up speed here. that's why wind has been t primary function here, the primary part of the disaster has been the wind with this. panama city, around the apalachicola area, in an around mexico beach, that part was storm surge, but most of this is wind we're seeing this right now making is way inlo at the eye, really, no longer even visible, the ey as this storm continues to weaken. but there it is. and you can see just an incredibly well-defined storm before it made landfall. if this would have had another four, five hours, this would have been a cat 5 easily on this scale. but came inland just before reaching cat 5 status. still seeing a or ttornado watcr most of the state of georgia.er there's ano or tnitornado w around atlanta, and one around charleston right now. in our aya, we have showers associated with this system and a cold front that start to move in. showers tonight in frederick county, back towards loudon, and

more in west virginia. the storm itself, though, still well down into middle georgia. winds of 75 miles an hour. movinge to th nooertheast at 20 miles an hour and it's only going to increase in speed.im by the it gets near us, it will be traveling nearly 30 miles per hour. here it i tomorrownight. tomorrow night down to our south at 45 miles per hour. off thecoast, strengthening, up to 60 miles per hour right off the coast and that's why we could see strong winds here, as well, as part of a one-two inch from michael and the cold front. speaking of that, some rain shower s early tomorrow morning. take the umbrella with you. the kids at the bus stop will th need . by noon, notice just the periods of rain. notain all day, but periods of rain. bull watch this. we get a little bit of a around 4:00. then the cold front comes up and it starts to pick michael up, the moistrom michael. watch what happens along the i-95. corrid right around 6:00, baltimore, d.c., down towards fredericburg, heavy rain, and

that stays with us right on through the night tomorrow night around 10:00 or 11:00,m especially fi-95 south and east ward. that's why we have a flashwa fld h in this area. pa now, d.c., north and westward, not nearly as much rain, but p still, sometty good rain tomorrow night. now, how about the winds with this system? not going to be much tomorrow during the day. notorried about wind. 30-mile--hour wind gusts, d.c., increasing as we move to 1:00 a.m. close to 40, or evenow 50 towards the river. by friday morning, waking up, we'retill around 30 miles and hour in many parts of the area. so, we're dealing with windy conditions for sure and falling temperatures on fr so, a high tomorrow of 79 with periods of rain. friday, w may get back up to 64 early before falling into the 50 s by friday night. yeah, you're talking a really

cool friday night. saturday rning, waking up to about 50 in the city. but that puts most people in the 40. 48 on sunday. i've got areas like frederick and winchester around 40 degrees on sunday moaning. of showers on monday and then another little batch of cooler air moving in. fall definitely arrives after michael moves out. >> okay. we better get ready. thank you, doug. coming up, the stars come s in onight for the c their stanley cup final retch. their stanley cup final retch. >>poma when the nra tried to overturn maryland's assault-weapons ban, attorney general brian frosh led the fight to stop them, defending our gun safety laws to protect the people of maryland. attorney general brian frosh.
