random shooting. and a deadly 24 hours on local roads. five people killed in a pair of crashes. we're live with the safety concerns. >> announcer: news 4 begins with a storm team 4 weather >>alert. let's start off with a live look at storm team 4 radar. you can see this lighting up witheats of strong winds, even a possible tornado. keep it right here for the next three hours. we are helping you stay weather ready with continuous coverage.er let's start in the storm cter with meteorologist amelia draper. amelia this severe weather threat far from over. >> absolute, pat. if you were watching yesterday, we were talking about the potential for two rounds of heavy rain and severe storms moving through the area. the first round is moving out. it was pretty tame, but that doesn't mean that we're going to be in the clear for the rest of the night. >> . things are pretty quiet now, but this second round, i'm nervous some of the sun might energize

things and we could see some real severe weather during the second round this evening. >> we'll see the second round moving in within the next couple of hours and impact us until about midnight. here's a look at storm team 4 radar. this is this second round. i circled it in yellow. it is wupushing out of the area round number one. we are getting peaks of sunshine into virginia. it's also really muggy out there right now. that is also acting as fuel for these storms back to our west. with that, everybody is under a tornado watch until midnight tonight. so i can't rule out an isolate tornado. i think especially with the second round, i'm seeing a bigger concern for gusty straight line winds, potentially up to 60 miles an hour and some heavy rain too. that's why everybody's also under a flood watch until 5:00 a.m. on saturday for the potential of 1 to 2, even up po 3 inches of rain. o if you're traveling tonight, never drive-thru a flooded road. turn around, don't drown is what we like to see, and that's

certainly going to be good advice as we track heavy rain. >> before we get you go, is there any one particular area you think might be at higher risk for flooding or tornadoes tonight? >> the national weather service has issued this flash flood watch and tornado watch for the entire area, so everybody has equal chance for dealingtoith severe ss and very heavy rainfall. i'm going to be tracking that with future weather coming up in about 15 minutes. >> we'll check back with you in just a bit. stay weather ready for us here at news 4. if you have to step away from the tv, me sure you have your nbc washington app. if we have any breaking weather alerts, we'll send them to you on your phone. now to breaking news about the measles. a fourth case has beenis confird fternoon in maryland. health officials say the cases are confined to a smallrea of the state close to pikesville. best way to protect yourself and your family is to gette vaccina

ere the occupants -- the driver tried to get around the car waiting to make the left turn. >> reporter: and so when that car made that maneuver to get around, that's when they apparently lost control, crossed the center line, flipped over several times. two of the passengers were ejected. we believe or police believe at this point they were the back seat passengers. it's not t'finalized, but also believed they were not wearing seat belts, so police have a dual message. they believe speed might have be a fokt actor. they want them to slow down and wear their seat belts. right now we are live on sheriff road. derrick ward, news 4. back to you. > a terrible tragedy on t road again. derrick, thank you. now to some breaking news. the california parents who beat, starved, and held their childrea captiv sentenced to life in prison. david and louise turpin have 12

>> from president trump's camp, a different take. while histtorneys decided not to release a written rebuttal, for now president trump has plenty to say on twitter using an expletive to describe some statements about him in mueller's report calling them fabricated and totally untrue. watch out for people that take so-called notes when the notes never twisted. also signs of mueller fatigue. >> if this is the last day we in the media are talking aboutle muel would that be all right with you all? >> absolutely. >> it would be great if we'd just quit looking and start moving on. >> reporter: instead the battle moving to a new phase. and house democrats don't just want that report. they want to see every piece of evidence that mueller uncovered during his nearly two years on the job. and they want to see it by may 1st. of course, that's the day that barr says he's scheduled to be on capitol hill for his first of two days ofestimony. back to you. >> the story still goes on.
