9:01 am
around and can't rule out the risk of scattered showers and storms. some of the storms could be strong later today as well. let's kick off with a look at our radar system here and show you, generally quiet at the moment. mix of clouds with a little bit of sunshine currently working through the area here. that will be the trend around here the next couple of hours. periods of peaks of sunshine. with the frontal system not too far away, i think the clouds will win out in the afternoon. couple of showers in central pennsylvania. that's our cold front and will continue to sag into the area later today and provide enough lift out there. we could have scattered showers and storms again later today. reagan national now 83 degrees. 78 at dulles. daytime highs cooling. still a warm and humid day, with highs expected to top out in the low 90s. that's a little better than yesterday. weekend is looking fine. details on that in just a
9:02 am
minute. back to you, tony. thank you very much. yesterday's summer storm has some folks in cleanup mode again. flood waters ravaged the bloomingdale neighborhood, particularly near t street and rhode island avenue. some residents got water and sewage in their basements. now, this same area got hit with flooding over a week ago, and neighbors say they're fed up with d.c. water for not doing more to prevent the ongoing problem. the latest storm also toppled trees and power lines. a giant tree fell on top of two homes in northwest d.c. another came tumbling down into the street around the corner at tennyson and utah. both areas had the power knocked out again. some were in the dark six days after the june 29th storm. montgomery county council wants to find out more about how pepco responded after last month's severe storm. they are meeting today to discuss the company's
9:03 am
performance during the aftermath of the june 29th storm that left more than 100,000 customers without power. it will be held at the county office building and is open to the public, but the public will not be allowed to speak at the meeting. that will come at a later meeting. meantime, pepco tells the maryland public service commission it will study their feasibility -- the feasibility of burying power lines to prevent future outages. another big story we're following this morning, the disapproval of d.c. mayor gray is growing as a result of his 2010 campaign corruption scandal. so far, three of his former aides have pleaded guilty to campaign violations in federal court. and three d.c. council members have called for the mayor to step down. we're going to check in with melanie alnwick who is covering this story this morning. we'll have her coming up in a little bit.
9:04 am
a bill banning abortions in the district after 20 weeks of pregnancy will advance to the full house for a vote. yesterday the house committee voted to approve the legislation. the measure is based on a disputed claim that a fetus can feel pain at 30 weeks. critics call it a test run to attack abortion rights. the bill will likely fail in the democrat controlled senate. on the campaign trail, a new poll looks at how virginia is feeling about the presidential race and senate race in that state. the survey shows a deadlock between president obama and mitt romney. both getting 44% support. that's important because virginia is likely to be one of those states that could decide the race. in virginia senate matchup, today's poll shows republican george alan has a 2-point lead over democrat tim kaine. meanwhile, a new fox hol shows the race for the white
9:05 am
house is a virtual tie. president obama has a 4-point lead if the election were held together. both have 52% favorable ratings, but the president's unfavorable rate is 6-points higher than romney's. president obama kicks off two days of campaigning in florida today. romney will be meeting privately with his staff in boston before attending a fundraiser. back to the district, it appears a majority of residents agree with council members who are calling for the resignation of mayor gray. >> according to a new poll, most people believe the mayor should resign. melanie now is live in d.c. with the latest on the scandal plaguing the d.c. government. melanie? >> reporter: the numbers aren't ut they do show rising dissatisfaction among city residents after all of these financial scandals and all of these federal investigations.
9:06 am
the mayor's approval rating now just 29%. when asked about whether they thought the mayor should resign, 54% of the adult d.c. residents surveyed by the post said yes. 37% said he should not and 9% had no opinion. when it comes to the direction of the city, opinions are closer. 45% say city matters are on the wrong track. that's better than the early 90s when 70% said the city was in bad shape. that's not saying much for some residents. >> i think it's much improved over marion berry, but i think to have another corrupt government here in d.c. is tragic, and why we put up with this, i just don't know. >> we need to find out what all is going on. once we have the process approved then we can have
9:07 am
judgment. >> reporter: franklin garcia one of the leaders in support of the mayor that held a rally yesterday. some have tried to place some of the blame of the lower approval ratings on the media, the poll did ask people about that. they found 79% of those they surveyed and that's a high number, said the investigations not only into mayor gray, but also into council members kwame brown and harry thomas, jr., they felt the investigations have been nature. back to you. >> thank you very much. more trouble for montgomery county's ride-on bus system. a line of buses linked to fires has been pulled from service, forcing them to run on a modified schedule today. the latest fire was yesterday in silver spring on ramsey avenue. the bus was out of service at the time and the last three years there have been at least seven fires on the fleet of buses made by champion international. yesterday montgomery county executive leggett ordered the system to take all champion
9:08 am
buses out of service permanently. meanwhile, good news for metro riders. they could see a smoother ride after several days of delays. the agency says it finally found the source of the computer issues that brought the system to a halt twice over the weekend. metro blames a hardware failure and says the broken module has been replaced. sticking with metro now, constant battle for anyone driving to the transit system. >> you get to the station, you look for a parking spot, but the garage is full. so why are entire levels empty and instead being sold for a premium? sherri ly is monitoring metro. >> reporter: as commuters toil in traffic to get to work every morning, thousands of metro riders fight another congestion. >> it's a nightmare. always fills up. >> i have been late to work
9:09 am
several times because i can't find parking. >> reporter: at the busiest garages, drivers carve out a spot wherever they can, squeezing into corners and parking illegally. according to metro, the parking lot fills up at east falls clump and rockville by 7:45 a.m. at largo town center, by 8:15. and vienna branch and shady grove, gone by 8:30. >> reporter: you can find a parking spot here, except these require a reserved permit. and that will cost you. for an extra $65 a month, that's on top of the roughly $85 daily parking fee etch month, anyone can get a reserved permit. for those who have one, it's sometimes the only way to get to work. >> metro has got me right where they want me. that's a high price, but i have no options. >> reporter: often reserved spaces never fill up. two-thirds of the more than
9:10 am
8,000 reserved permits have not been sold. broken down by station, shady grove and franconia have more than 600 unused permits. that's 12 and 13% of all spaces in the garage empty and offlimits during peak hours. greenbelt, 419 available, or 12% of the lot. new carol ton and huntington have more than 300 each, making up 10 and more than 11% of the total. all told, more than 5,000 spaces go wasted, enough to fill the entire shady grove launch. >> some are overutilized and some underutilized. we're trying to make the balance. >> reporter: after 10:00 a.m., anyone can park in the reserved spaces. any time before that, and you risk a ticket. metro is reevaluating its reserved parking spaces. in some lots, it could be
9:11 am
opened to the public, or the price lowered to 45 or $50 to encourage more users. >> i think there's about 10 stations we're analyzing now that will probably have lower prices for those reserved spaces. >> reporter: there's a balance between having enough parking for everyone, not just those who arrive early, but those who may need to come later. >> otherwise the people that need to come after 8:30 have no option. it would be completely filled up. so i guess i think it's okay that metro makes more money and gives people an option. >> reporter: bottom line, there's not enough parking for everyone, and likely never will be. sherri ly, fox 5 news. >> plans to make the changes to its reserved program in the fall. the agency says one reason the lots fill up fast, most people are driving alone. people who can't find parking can get to the station by bus. raising money for downs syndrome research. still ahead, we're going to

9:17 am
eye on the situation. the white house suggests president assad's regime will fall along with anyone supporting it. >> our point to the russians and others, if you ally with assad, you'll end up on the wrong side of history. continued relationship with syria and the people there depending on making the right decisions now. their future will not include assad. >> today's vote threatens nonmilitary sanctions against president assad's government if he doesn't withdraw troops and weapons from populated areas within 10 days. it's tied to chapter seven of the u.n. charter why could allow the use of force to end the conflict. downs syndrome is the most common birth disorder in the united states. it's also the least funded.
