will it rain all day, no. evt until late afternoon, clearing and no se weather are we talking about, we're heating up, temperatures going to be in the 80s for a couple of days this week h wee more rain chances, especially by the end of this upcoming workweek that we're going to have to deal with. it doesn't look like any severe weather. we had a few showers overnight. that front is going to clear the area but bring some rain with it. as it moves slowl it will start to break up as it crosses the mountains and start to reorganize and best chance to see any isolated will be east of i-95.im we'll it out for you. you can see even by 8:30, mostly dry, we'll go partly sunny, not mostly cloudy. a few isolated showers. here is where the line blows up a little bit. a few thunderstorms possible throughout the afternoon. clearing from the west to the east, breezy out here throughout the day today. temperatures out there in the 50s right now. we'll top out in the low 70s.ag

n, we will get some clearing but that wind will be the main story as we head through the remainder of the day. then some frostni overt. temperatures are falling quite a bit. we're back in the mid-60s for tomorrow. rain e a chance for some showers overnight monday into early tuesday, most look to be gone by day break. few showers possible wednesday. thursday and friday, chance of rain. looks like we clear out in time for next weekend. >> looking good. thank you, lauryn. 's reporter notebook is coming up next. >> we're back in 15 minutes with more of themo ing's top stories. >> good morning, i'm pat lawson muse. all this week news 4 focused on our changing climate a the impact on our daily lives, on every aspectou of r lives, food to families, our money, the economy and health. this morning we're talking about the impact with news 4 meteorologist amelia draper and chuck bell. guys, let's start with the arctic, warming twice as fast as the rest of the world.

explain wnire that's hap and what it means. >> they have more opportunity for w ming essentially. the equator is equal warm year round, but the polar regions have a much greater cycle, so anytime you trap more heat into ,the atmospherehat's where you're able to see the change the most. so alaska just finished up the month of march. no just the record warmest rch, they shattered it. th most above average month ever recorded. so it was 25 something degrees above average for the entire monthf rch. degrees above average here in march, we would be daving 90ree days through the month of march. that's how unusually warm that was for them. >> yeah. and not only are they setting temperature records like that, t also snowfall records. so this is the earliest year in -- earliest in the year in parts of the state whell snowfaind of stopped as well. as we see tse warming temperatures, not only are we just seeing warming, but also impacts on snowfall there. and the snowfall as well as the ice in alaska as we know is

critical for the state to -- >> we have the arctic warming and of course there is the ocean temperates that are rising. and, you know, we talked about in our special on climate change how it may be a degree and a half, which sounds like a very small rise inut temperature, b when you're talking about the oce oceans, >> people think a degree and a half, ian -- 90 versus 92 1/2, don't notice. think about your b y temperature. 98.5 degrees. f you run a fever of 100 degrees, that's 1.5 degrees above erage, you feel that. you feel miserable and sick. don't underestimate -- it may not sound like a big number, buw think h bad you feel with a 100 degree fever and use it in that context to help describe the earth having that kind of ae r, it has wide rangingfe efcts on not just pple and plants, but the ability torow

water and different types of fish in the ocean require colr waters. the less cold water there is, food supplies, big fish eat little fish king. of thin it is big. 1 1/2 degrees is a big deal. >> let's talk about the local impact. what are the most significant things that most people in this area can see and are being impacted by. >> i think one of the things is the southwest water front, the water g hge there risen 6 or 7 inches, scientists say over the last few years since they have been -- more than a few years since they have been recording the water height there. we're seeing the cherry blossoms bloomingge on avera about five days earlier. we're having the imoucts with growing season in the area, mosquito season is about a month longer. ias out the other day already getting bitten by mosquitos and a month makes a big difference because not only does it have implications of just bng annoying, but then you start to talk about west nile and zika and areas where mosquitos that

can carry things like zika are going grow and scientists estimate that by the end of the century, there is a certain kind of mosquito that can carry zika, the area in the northeast that will support that kind of mosqoito is potentially g to 50%.ease by about >> right. it is a big deal. fpecially when youigure the disease, the opportunity, the t a tropical disease and things, the moret the things that carry those diseases, the farther north they can live and succeed, and puts more people's health at risk for sure. >> we're talking about a longer breeding season and expanded breeding eas. >> yeah, absolutely. and it is also, you know, the ability ofhat crops havena traditiolly been able to be grown in a region. iorida grows oranges. whatf that extra degree and a half means therorange cps are not successful. what does that dofl to ida's economy? what if you can't grow could then in aigeorgia, our mn crops arou here, that's easy, we'll grow tomatoes in ma es in maine. that's not the best hsolution.

it an impact on agriculture for what crops and cattle and allf that are affected as well. for plants what can grow where and for what part of the season. >> you talkamelia, it is growin longer nger, 17 days over the past 50 years. people with allergies and asthma can tell this. i think -- i thought it wasmy i mind, but maybe it wasn't, that my allergy symptoms started in january when they shouldn't have. >> many years ago people used to live -- the upper midwesterners would retire to tucson, arizona, a big spot, and they had no allergy problems. now they have done so much, you know, irrigation and putting in golf courses and now they're growing so many things that weren't native torizona that they have essentially imported the allergy polluters so to speak. ere is a big range for allergy llpacts as we not just how long you can have them,er but wh the things can now occur. >> more tree pollen and -- >> yes, i was talking to local

microbiologist, she has records that go back 20 years, it is not a lot but something we can start looking at. what she's noticing is the amount of tree pollen overall has really goneup. re we're seeing when the pollen starts, the ext bursts and the pollen counts over -- since the 2000s. we have really seen tm increase overall in closer years versus little bit closer to maybe 2000. so the last y fivers we have seen a lot more tree pollen count overall. so if you're an allergy sufferer, that's a huge impact. >> there is not a whole lot that a sufferer can do about that. not a whole lot that a person that has asthma can do about the fact that there is more allergens. > and also they're equally affected by air pollution and all the other problems that come along with that as ll. it is a tough sledding and it puts more people, people who just have little allergies are now having higher problems. now the people at the top end are getting much worse blow, bue now mor people are being

affected at the lower >> on one recent report, d.c. got an f on air quality. that was the grade for pollution, smog. is our air neclea is it better? has it gotten better over the years? >> the group that monitorsthat, the metropolin washington council of government, mwcog.org if you want to look it up, they're the ones that track that, and issue air quality alert they're goal was to reduce air pollutants and that down to 2005 levels. at's their goal. they're therenow. we reduced it down to 2005le vels. by 2020, they want to reduce that an additional 20% below levels of 2005. we're making progress, yes. but there are simply more cars on the road. so each car may be polluting less, but there is still more of them tot do and just, you know, sort of one versus the other. until we can really make headway on nonco-2 emitting vehicles,

that has a whole oer problem because then you have batteries in landfills, that's ground water pollution, no real easy answer outside ofar solnd wind are the only real true clean energies. >> right. ride a bike. >> more people are doing that. we'll be right back. stay with us. sometimes, the pressures of today's world can make it tough to take care of yourself. but nature's bounty has innovative ways to help you maintain balance and help keep you active and well-rested. because hey, tomorrow's coming up fast. ture's bounty. because you're better off healthy. ite an cause damage to ture'thamel.idic. with the new pronamel repair toothpasteac

we can helvely repair enamel in its weakened state. it's innovative. with pronamel repair, more mineralsle are ab to enter deep into the enamel surface. the fact that you have an opportunity to repairwh at's already been damaged, it's amazing. i think my go-to toothpaste is going to be pronamel ir. continuing our talk this morning about climate change. amelia, you did an interesting segment last week about the warming here in the washington region. maryland is the warmest state, the warming is most noticeable. >> you look at d.c., maryland and virginia, since 197, maryland has warmed the most. i suspect that d.c. hasn't warmed as much since 1970 because we have something called an urban heat island effect. all the cementy here in the cit and you have that since the

'70s, though we have had a lot of development, we have taken out a lot of the natural vegetation. that's acted as an equalizer out there. but, yeah, compared to maryland, virginia and the district, maryland warmed 2 1/2 degrees since 1970. virginia warmed about 2nc degre si 1970. and the district comes in about a degree and a half. we'll continue to see this. the bottom line with climate change people say what are we gog to see, we're going to see more intense rainfall, heavier rainfall, we're also seeing warmer temperatures. buroit is kind of that two p issue with more intense storms and warmer temperatures overall. >> you also say d.c. will eventually like mississippi. >> that was a studye that camee out by 2080.c. could feel like parts of mississippi out there as we continueseo track the warming teeratures. so they did this great study where they took cities and projected what theyight feel like, so, you know you have parts of the upper midwest potentially feeling like parts

of b texasy 2080 if we don't cut down on our carbon emissions. parts of california, central and iarthern califo potentially feeling like parts of mexico by0 20 kind of drawing literal lines to what we might see if we don't tart to cut down on our carbon emissions out there. >> wendy rieger did an interesting story for the special about the oysters in the y. and, of course, it is summertime, it is oyster season. all of that rain that we got last summer killed off a lot of the beds. >> you bet. the chey,peake big body of water, it is not going to -- it is not a big deal. it is actually a very delicate ecosystem i the bay. it is exceptionally vulnerable to sea level rise, exceptionally vulnerable to fertilizer runoff. we had so much rain last everyone that put that nitrogen rich fertilizer to hhee tir lawn that nice, dark green, most of that was washed straight into the bay and that's the stuff that causes the algae

blooms to be so significant and that kills the crabs off. so the bay, that estuary is sensitiveo increased amounts of rain, putting more pollutants in the water, increasing levels thatnges the salinity of the water, it is not as saltyhe as t sea because it is getting a gooh supply of fre water, but you start messing with the salinity, and the a oceans now struggling. >> and doesn't just impact what we eat for our summer picnics. >> no. >> we're talking about the economy and, you know, people's ability to make a living. >> absolutely. it tou tes -- climate change touches every little phase of life. and youin always thk, well, one thing doesn't sou that bad, what if there was a complete failure of the crab crop in the bay one year. what would that do tomaryland's economy? that's billions of dollars in a single year. kill ally won't of -- but if you start taking a dent, what if you lost 30% of crab revue in one year?

that hits state budgets. then there is no money for education or building roads because all the tax money is gone. >> what do you think of d.c.'s new law that requires or will require that all othe city's electricity come from renewable energy sources by the year 2032? >> i think it is such a -- >> california, hawaii are already planning to do sis. >> it ish a great idea. we put solar panels on our house over the winter. solar,any out there, d.c. few others, free to us, and our solar energy credits in the district, because there so little -- thes district i 62 square miles, and so there is all theseon projecti each tate in d.c. must generate x percentage ofheir power from clean renewables ay certain date. because t a district is small space already, and a lot o the land is federal land, which is not -- you can't put solarhe panels o nationalall, can't put them in rock creek park. the footprint is small.

so thosey solar ene credits are worth a lot more than they would be in california or texas. there are big incentives to put solar on your roof in the district. >> that would apply to federal buildings. a lot of times if you don't force people to make these proactive changes and the changes that we know are ultimately going to help us, they're not going to do it. so think it is a great idea to kind of give you that push, we're saying you have to do it and then hopefully start to see more dominos >> what is it that we all need to be doing to help? >> little things, right. i think i've been reporting on this a lot lately. you start to look at everything, it can certainly feel a little overwhelming, you're thinking, my gosh, we're warming, we're sources, onrenewable so, you know, how can we kind of get ourselves out of this and there is still hope, that's the good news. i think it is just little things you can do. certain things le you heard of meatless mondays, right? you're cutting back on that red meat. that has huge implications onnv

the eironment where if we're not eating as much red meat out there, there is not as many cale out therehat are polluting the air. so if we cut down that consumption and go to more of a plant-based diet, o noty do studies show that's going to be healthy for us, but also helping out the environment. like that.hings resib resiblg i recycling. a lot of places aren't recycling ymore because it is so expensive. reductiongoes to just in general, not taking thatti plasc bag out, cutting down on your plastic, don't use single use plastater bottles, have your re-useable water can jug whatever at work and that makes a big difference. >> another little thing, on a hot day,on't fill up your car during the heat of the afternoon. the vapor of the gasoline goes out of the tank, that's a ig contributor to ozone and air pollution. uel your car up before the sun comes up or after it gs down. tiny stuff like that.

buy a more fuel efficient car. you bought the 12 cyl der mac truck to drive to work and sit in traffic, it just doesn't make sense. drive the most efficient vehicle that you can afford to drive or that is most practical for you. little things like that, you would be surprised. if a lot of peoplee did a littl something, it would add up fast. >> we can't afford to sit back and ignore it. >> no. >> we have been doing that for a long time, it is not working out. >> thank you. that's reporter's nook. i'm pat lawson muse. "news 4 today" continues. "news 4 today" starts now. >> and back to "news 4 today" at 6:30 on this sunday morning. thank you for being with us. >> looks like the sun is getting ready to risver what is expected to be somewhat of a wet day. hit and miss. >> yeah. we all matched today with our

gray color tone here. even lauryn ricketts matching with the gray. what do you say today? >> we're going to see a few showers out there. not like a gloomy, ugly day. we'll have som sunshine in spots. >> okay. >> that's good. we'll take that. >> we're not going to have any severeweather. not going to be dealing with severe thunderstorms. just a few light scattered showers rolling across the area. onceygain hopefull cleansing the air of some pollen out there. now, it is going to be clear ndter on this afternoon through this evening. look, it is not a bad sunrise out there now. 6:14.un coming out, so, of course, it is covered by all the cloud cover we have and we'll have a cloud cover for a good deal of the day. look, you canee a fewshowers, we had an upper level piece of energy floating by. that brought us rain showers overnight. we're watching for the frontal system moving thrgh the area. that front will be pushing through the area as we go through the day. and once it does, the winds are going tok up. it is going to be a little on

the breezy side. thoss temperature now in the 50s, winds calm. they'll pick up after 9:00 this morning. stick with us through the late n even we'll talk more about the rain chances and the big warmup coming our way. that's coming up in 20 minutes. >> thank you very much. we continuet to follow tha developing story out of california later today. expected to learn more about a gunman who opened fire in a synagogue near san diego. one person is dead, three others hurt. >> this happened exactly six months tohe day of another deadly attack in pittsburgh where 11 people died. shots rang out yesterdayor mng poway. chabad of >> a 19-year-old man is in police custody, believed to be the only suspect. investigators say that after the sho shooting the dpgunman gave a sht chase before he surrendered. >> police are questioning john t. earnest. they believe he may have set

>> reporter: police are steppinging up patrols at synagogues and other houses of worship in the d.c. metro area after authorities say a teenage gunman opened fire during prayers at a synagogue near san diego. i ron halperexecutive director of the jewish community relations council. >> peoee are shaken to the c that during the most sacred times of faith that minorities, not jwst je but others, christians and muslims and sikhs andthers can't feel safe. this is absurd. >> reporter: the shooting happened exaly six months after another deadly attack at a synagogue in pittsburgh. the shootings have been condemned b jewish leaders and people from different religious groups. halper says more action needs to begr taken and cons needs to spend more federal dollars to protect houses of worship. >> the fact that we actually have to spend money on hiring off duty police officers to keep our congregationsafe says

everything. >> reporter: leaders at the all dallas area muslim society in northern virginia issued statement condemning the shooting. they say they stand in solidarity with the jewish community. in rockville, darcy spencer, news 4. meanwhile, a tragedy is coast.ing out on the west at least four people are dead after a construction crane came crashing down on to traffic in seattle yesterday afternoon.es witns described hearing a large boom before the cars were crushed. two crane operators are also among the dead. the oths were in cars, they died by the time firefighters got to the scene. my goodne. firefighters say that three people including a mother a by girl were also hurt and had to be rushed to the hospital. we're following some breaking news from overnight. a man wanted in connection to five deaths in tennessee is now in custody. cummingings ichael was arrested last night northeast of nashville. hthey were searching for after discovering the bodies in two homes.

crumbens was later found a mile from the original crime scene and was armed. he was s lt atst once by officers and taken to the hospital. investigators believe that the two scenes are related and are working for a possible motive. we're working to learn more about a disturbing discovery in d. sources with d.c. fire and ems say human remains were found in the woods under thedg chain bri in northwest. now, authorities were called to the area around 7:00 last night. washington post is reporting that theerremains found with at least one missing hand. no confirmation yet from d.c. police. time is 6:36. switchg gears, last night's white house correspondents' dinner, if you're all in town, good morning to you, was a break from what weave grown accustomed to in recent years. >> for the third year in a row, esident trump did not attend. this year he told white house staffers to stay away. >> and instead of acomedian, the keynote speaker was historian ron chernow who told

for a lot of properties, once water hits your property, it is your responsibility to treat it and send it back into the environment clean. so metro has a lot of that il stuff, 1.5 mon gallons a day to treat and send back. >> what is interestie to me, thesre aspects of climate change that you don't think about. a lot of other good reports on theit wee. >> 2018 was one of the wettest years that we have ever had and i remember t seeing flooding, like dupt, like buckets of water. i never thought about that. good stor i like that. >> thank you. >> good work, adam. >> i'll take it. done. we have a little bit of rain today out there today. i don't think we'll be dealing with any flooding issue o there. we have rain showers we'll be dealing with. these things are booking rough. we're seeing showers for our friends in the shenandoah valley, will continue to travel to the east throughout the day. i'm hoping since they're getting their act together we will see them earlier.

again, even before this, i don'w think il rain all day. we're going to see a rapid f clearim the west to the east. no severe weather expected today. could be an isolated thunderstorm, maybe along southern maryland, eastern shore later through the middle part of the day and early afternoon. but again, maybe these are just really s showers that are passing through the area. are we heating up anytime soon? we are getting to the 80s for a good pon of this week. we also have some more rain chances to deal with this week as a frontal system will just hang out inur region. as we go wednesday through friday. you see the rain moving in right now, especially through the i-8o idor. this is all due to a frontal system, maybe heavier showers from martinsburg all the way down through winchter area. this will continue to clip the eastern panhdle of west virginia, clark county, leesburg. so we'll be watching this line moving through. this is also stated with a frontal system. once this front passesby, winds start to pick up, gusts up to about 30 miles an hour. temperatures out there in the

50s right now. so it is fairly mild out there. you wake up this morning,er sh to the west, especially if you're closer to the d.c. metro area, and in those showers will be moving through as those winds start toick up throughout the day. 70 degrees. i think we can get there. we will get late day sunshinein and clearg skies during the overnight urs. so here is a look at the timing some of this starts to break up a little bit as we go through the day. looks to get reorganized and a couple of models have this. we could see a few showers. this is where we get a thunderstorm as we go east of i-95 through the middle part of the afternoon. clearing from the west to the east aes clear s tonight. teeratures falling tonight. 30s and 40s, that's where we start your monday morning. temperatures in the mid-60s for tomorrow. th we get into your monday night and tuesday, could have a few early morning showers. wednesday, thursday, friday, friday looks leak o s like our chance of rain. thursday and friday, few showers on and off.
