>> i'm tony perkins. >> and i'm wisdom martin. >> allison seymour is on assignment getting ready for the school year. and tropical storm isaac picks up speed. >> the storm could reach hurricane status and the national hurricane center predicts it could grow to a category two. a direct hit will be somewhere between new orleans and the florida panhandle late tuesday. that would be one day shy of the seven year anniversary of hurricane katrina. the governors of louisiana and mississippi have already declared states of emergency and have called on tens of thousands of people to evacuate. >> the storm has forced big changes to the rnc convention in tampa. first let's talk to tucker barnes.

he's been watching the storm. >> good morning. i just got the latest. maximum winds 65 miles per hour and the pressure is dropping. and as the pressure drops, the storm will intensify. as we continue to watch the pressure fall, the storm will get stronger by the hour. and hurricane warnings for much of louisiana and the florida panhandle, including the city of new orleans under a hurricane warning. that looks like that will be the bull's-eye late tomorrow or early wednesday. 72 in washington. we're off to a warm and humid start. 87% humidity. let me mention we have a dense fog advisory until 10:00 this morning for the communities out to the west. and by out to the west i mean royal, winchester, martins burg. one or two leftover showers. we have a leftover shower south and east as you get into the bay. that's about it. otherwise, we're seeing a

combination of a few clouds and sunshine here. we'll call it a mostly sunny day. warm and humid with a few scattered showers developing this afternoon. much less numerous than yesterday. yesterday we had a deluge and a lot of flooding issues. today one or two showers with highs in the mid- to upper 80s. cooler and drier weather on the way for midweek. let's join julie. she's been keeping an eye on the rush hour. >> reporter: my mama said why didn't you and the family come on over. she would have baked you a pie. >> oh, man. i need mama's address. >> reporter: mama can make a pie, let me tell you. hope you had a great birthday. we're checking in on the gw parkway.

definitely below speed. no problems to report, just volume. traffic also slowing between 198 and powder mill road. we have delays on southbound i- 95 in beltsville with heavy volume. an incident on the shoulder has since cleared. the inner loop is below speed. delays for those continues eastbound on 66 working your way in leaving 50 to 123. 123 at the georgetown pike -- and then 395 heavy and slow. that's a check of your fox 5 on time traffic. new this morning, the first day of school for many children across the d.c. region. students are back in class. we have a live report from

walter johnson high school in bethesda. >> reporter: we trust that all of the students here in high school at walter johnson are safely in their first period right about now. it was a very busy few months in montgomery county for the facilities. they did more than 800,000 square feet of construction projects. we're talking about roofs, floors, gymnasiums, playing fields, two major construction projects also completed. the high school students at paint branch got an $80 million modernization to their campus. they'll be experiencing the new classrooms. vegetative roofs. automaker the bells and whistles. and there's a new elementary school in silver springs. it's montgomery county's first new school since 2005. 30million schools put into that

building. this is one of the largest enrollment years ever. the system expects to high 50 more teachers and 800 more jobs in the county. they expect that the success of the academic program that enrollment will continue to grow and that does present challenges. >> we have 149,000 kids this year. we're up 2500. growing every year. we try to keep class size manageable. but it's a matter of money and space and we have to make tough choices. we know we have the resources to serve every child that comes through the doors. >> reporter: one of the challenges is closing the achievement gap with some minority populations. we'll talk more about that coming up at 9:00. >> as we told you earlier, republicans were supposed to start their national convention today in tampa.

but all the actual events have been postponed because of isaac. fox news correspondent jennifer davis joins us now with the latest. good morning to you. and we want to ask you what's the latest as far as cancellations, that type of thing? >> reporter: good morning wisdom. i think we need to be honest and say a lot is very much up in the air. here's the latest plan as far as they've been able to release. they're going to recess and all major events have been pushed off until tomorrow afternoon. they've had to change the schedule to get four days of events to three. all the major speakers are scheduled to take the stage. mitt romney is thursday evening. but really there's a lot that remains up in the air. it depends on where the storm goes. what if any damage isaac causes. it would not be wonderful to

have a political celebration if there are people somewhere in the gulf coast who are suffering. they'll have to wait and see what happens as the week goes along. >> and we've had cancellations from big players. a couple of governors are not going because of what's happening with the potential that the storm may hit the area. >> reporter: absolutely. that includes louisiana's governor bobby jindal. and it remains to be seen what happens as the week goes on. this is not the way they intended it to be. but they say they believe it can be a great convention. they plan that things will get underway on tuesday. the plan is to do the formal state roll call where they nominate him tomorrow. they can kick off with that and

a big speech from ann romney. it's been a disappointment. >> jennifer davis, thank you very much. fresh off a quiet weekend, president obama is getting ready for a busy week stumping through several swing states. he's opting out of the friendly tradition where each side gives the other a chance at the spotlight at the respective conventions. a developing story from afghanistan where two u.s. service members are dead in an apparent accidental shooting. this happened in an eastern province this morning. a group of u.s. and afghan soldiers were under attack. summer may be winding down and gas prices keep going up. the latest survey shows prices

up 7 cents in the last couple of weeks. the average price nationwide is 376. drivers in el paso pay the least and drivers in chicago pay the most. in louisiana, tropical storm isaac has led to long lines at gas stations as drivers top off. and out in the gulf, oil companies are shutting off oil rigged ahead of the storm. saying goodbye to an american hero. >> a look back at the life and legacy of neil armstrong and how fans are paying tribute. and applying strategies to your budget. as we head to the break, we're saying hello to students heading back to school. she is -- who started second grade in temple hills, maryland. good luck with school. it's 8:10 and we'll be right

back.   he's made his choice.

but what choices will women be left with? just like mitt romney, paul ryan would get rid of planned parenthood funding.

in congress, ryan voted to ban all federal funding for planned parenthood and allow employers to deny women access to cancer screenings and birth control. and both romney and ryan backed proposals to outlaw abortion even in cases of rape and incest. for women... for president... the choice is ours. i'm barack obama, and i approve this message. in the people, businesses, and organizations that call greater washington home. whether it's funding an organization that provides new citizens with job training, working with an anacostia school that promotes academic excellence, or supporting an organization that serves 5,000 meals a day across d.c., what's important to the people of greater washington is important to us, and we're proud to work with all those who are making our communities stronger.

making headlines in the day ahead. the final farewell to a police officer killed in the line of duty. officer adrian morris will be buried tomorrow. he died in a crash last week while in pursuit of two burglary suspects. the so called american taliban will be in court to protest his treatment in prison. he claims that the government bars him from daily group prayer. muslim prisoners can only gather for prayers once a week. the government says a daily gathering would be a security risk. the capital bikeshare program is coming to oldtown. the stations should be up and running by early september. the new bikes will be located at areas around the city

click on mornings. isaac is getting its act together now. it's not encountering any land areas of significance. heavy rain in parts of florida by. the center of circulation is out in the gulf of mexico. likely to become a hurricane later today. the pressure has been falling. trying to get a ragged eye wall and it will likely intensify. winds could approach 100 miles per hour as it gets close to the coastline. and that will be close to new orleans late tomorrow night and early wednesday. we have hurricane warnings for much of louisiana and the florida panhandle and parts of the alabama, mississippi coastline. this storm continues to move to the north and west at 14 miles per hour. all right. let's do local weather. and closer to home, we're doing fine. the current temperature is in the upper 60s and low 70s.

we're looking at a decent day. more sunshine than yesterday. the daytime high was in the low 80s. and today we're looking at 87. a cold front was getting here late tonight and early tomorrow. and you saw the wednesday, thursday, friday forecast. looks great with highs in the mid-80s. that's a quick look at weather. let's do traffic. >> reporter: northbound 395 at the 14th street bridge is better than expected as your cross the potomac. delays are stacked up. gw parkway is below speed. no accidents on the beltway. crossing the american legion bridge, light traffic. and lanes are open south on 270. that's a check of the fox 5 on time traffic. already trying to get financial advice here. here's a monday morning gift

for all sports lovers. the next time your spouse complains that you're watching football or hockey or something like that. you can say you're planning for your financial future. our next guest became a financial planner after his sports career ended. thanks for coming in. >> watch a football game and you can be a financial savvy. >> i've been retired for 30 years. and when i was playing, i didn't realize that i was going to be able to bring that to the business world. but i did learn a lot of different things from playing hockey. a lot of hot play on the team. how to adapt to change. i learned the definition of fear. >> and what is the definition of fear to you? >> and it's not what most people will think. it wasn't winning or losing or

getting hurt. the biggest fear was embarrassing myself in front of 18,000 people. and every time they make a mistake they announce it. in my business, my biggest fear today is not being on top of my game and having the best strategies for my clients. and in fact, i'm so bad at that in a way that i'm so fearful of not being on top of that i require all the people in the company to have double the continuing education credits. you need to be on top of your game. we have a lot of other professionals calling us to ask questions about certain strategies on retirement plans and all that. so i picked that up from hockey.

>> very interesting. it's everybody's individual situation calls for their own strategic plan. we want to give an overview. we have a graphic that highlights some of the strategy that is you learned or you kind of took from the sports world. let's go through some of these. make smart saves. what does that mean exactly? >> you need to analyze what's in front of you. you can't just do -- have knee jerk reactions. do not -- and don't take this the wrong way -- don't allow the daily business news to affect long term strategies. we're on a marathon, not 100- yard dash. >> and obviously, when you were a goalie, making smart saves meant something all together different. control the pace. tell us about that. >> what we want to do is

discipline. the markets have done very, very well recently. but is there really a reason for the markets having done well? it might be a lot of -- the government stimulus plans and all that. you don't want to rush things. that goes back to the marathon. this is not the time to get to retirement overnight. more times than not that ends in failure. >> and it takes patience to get through tougher periods. markets are doing well now but we went through a couple of tough years. >> the markets are doing well and to be frank with you, it makes us nervous. we're not overly bullish. i believe we're in a secular bear market and a lot has to do with europe. and if europe falls into the

sea. we're very close to following that. and so we are nervous and therefore we need to adapt to change and be careful. >> and there you go which goes back to some of your points. i want to put the points up again. all the information is on our website. determination is half the battle. find out why the other guy is winning and adapt. and if you lack a system you can't win. you have to have a system and a plan. >> when i played for washington caps, unfortunately, our system wasn't very good and we lost a lot 30 years ago. in the financial world you have to have a system or you could lewis as well. and it it comes down to discipline. >> are you bullish on the caps? >> i'd love to see the caps win. i'd love for them to be skating around the ice with the stanley

cup. >> we'd love to have you back. thanks for coming in. back to you, wisdom. >> coming up, the first man on the moon home among the stars. we'll take a look back at the life of neil armstrong. and holly morris was a look at the prohibition era in virginia and the outlaws who brewed illegal booze. ñ

beyond our own. neil armstrong was 82 years old. >> what an achievement. >> still ahead in the next hour, an insider's account of the death of osama bin laden and the impact on national security. we have a look at the new book, no easy day. and a helicopter in syria on fire falling from the sky. we'll have an update from the war zone next. you're watching fox 5 morning news, it's 8:27. this is the plan that revolves around you. introducing share everything. unlimited talk. unlimited text. tap into a single pool of shareable data and add up to 10 different devices,

making headlines here at home and around the world, syrian rebels say they shot down a government helicopter today over damascus. this video shows the chopper engulfed in flames before it slammed into a residential neighborhood. it was apparently hit in a fight with government forces

who have been pounding rebel forces for the last week. southern california gets rattled. more than 30 earthquakes measuring 3.5 or more hit yesterday. the strongest was a 5.3 which hit 70 miles east of san diego. it cracked roads, shattered windows and knocked mobile homes off foundations. there's a push to allow alcohol sales in damascus, maryland. that means restaurants can't serve beer or wine. two residents campaigned to get the issue on the ballot and are lobbying neighbors to get out the vote. the once rural town is more of a suburb now. earlier we were talking about allison seymour and getting readyfor the first day of school at her house. we have video of that.

there is it is. allison is walking to the bus stop with one of her little girls there. >> the big change this year is that her oldest is starting middle school. if you were with us earlier, we were live inside her house as everyone was getting ready. we shot this video of allison and sydney walking to the bus stop. there was a nice hug before it was time to get on the bus. i didn't see any tears. >> it's tough. it's tough. [ laughter ] >> i like our video. it's like a reenactment. >> hopefully, it wasn't. >> we have reaction shots, cut aways, reversals. we wish her the best. >> they've probably left by now. there's a lot going on. and all of you are doing this in your home. good luck to all of you.

>> i'm impressed. they were up early, 5:45. >> school starts early now. >> i didn't realize that early. temperatures in the upper 60s and low 70s. highs this afternoon back in the upper 80s. most of the weekend we were in the upper 70s and low 80s with the clouds and rain showers. we are going to be warming. 75 in washington. 70 in manassas. 69 in fredericksburg. still dealing with pesky fog off to the west. and a dense fog advisory that the national weather service let go. the last of the showers falling apart and it brought heavy rain on the western shore of the chesapeake. annapolis picked up 3 inches of rain. that's finally out of here.

and we'll be looking at clears skies and sunny conditions. and we'll wait for the cold front to get in here. this >> will get in late tonight and early tomorrow. not a lot cooler. but noticeably drier air. here's the future cast. there could be a shower later this afternoon. i think they'll be widely scattered and the chances not as good as yesterday. there's the cold front for tomorrow morning early. 8:00, 9:00 in the morning. bringing showers and a thunderstorm. and that will clear out. we're not going to be cool but noticeably less humid. and that sets us for a nice middle and end of the week. a couple of showers and 87. tomorrow could be an early shower or a thunderstorm. and then less humidity behind the front. wednesday, thursday, and friday, touches in the 80s. >> a former navy seal who was part of the raid that killed osama bin laden is getting

ready to release a book about the historic mission. it's bound to be a best seller, but it's raising concerns and questions about national security. joining us is j.j. green. good to see you. let's talk about this. there's been a lot of questions about this book. talk about the nature of the book. we really don't know what's in it just yet. >> honestly, nobody does except for the publishers and the person that wrote it. they're holding this close to the vest and there's a lot of speculation about what might be in it or why he wrote the book and the possibility of legal action against this former navy seal. but all of this -- nobody really knows expect the publishers and the writer. >> he could get in trouble if there's confidential information in this book. >> and just taking a look at what navy seals are, they're

part of the special warfare development group, sale team six is the nickname, better known as seal team six. and this group of highly skilled professionals never talks about what it does. the president, the vice president, the leaders of the country never talk about what they do. and the reason why this is such a big concern is because he just retired. he just retired last year. he's 36 years old. and the question is what is he saying in this book? and people have asked me about that and i'm thinking it could be any number of things. and knowing the nature of what seals do, is it likely he would put himself or former colleagues at risk or risk legal action talking about this confidential, classified information? that's the big question out

there right now. >> that being the case, why bother with this if you're this guy? why take the chance? >> my answer to that is navy seals are people too. green berets are people too. things happen to them that they may want to share. but in most cases they don't. this may be an account of what he was thinking that day or how he was feeling or what was going on that day. just leaving out all the operational detail. we don't know. but there's a strong possibility that that may be the case. and maybe it's just that he wanted to get it out there. there are those who say it may have been capitalizing on fame. but we'll have to wait and see on that. >> last question here. any worries or concerns that this may be setting a precedent or if he's doing this. what about the next big

mission? can somebody retire and go write a book? is that a thought. >> the admiral who runs all this -- he's made it clear that anybody that talks about these kinds of classified missions is putting themselves out there for the prospect of legal action. i think the message has been pretty well sent to those active members of these special groups like these secret groups that work for the government. if you go out and do this stuff and come back and talk out of school, we're going to take you back to school. and i think that's the difference. nobody ever thought there would be an account so quickly. i think the message has been sent to the active folks. >> always a pleasure. thanks for giving us your expertise on all of this. >> i'm always happy to be here. it's 8:38 on this monday morning. still ahead, an on the track

temper tantrum. why two nascar drivers almost brawled in the middle of the race. monday morning quarterback. fresh off a preseason victory. and a shoutout to local students heading back to class. eric and elijah kicked off the new year in culpeper county, virginia. best of luck in the new school year. we'll be right back. pren to me is about which... candidate is more likely to return us to full employment. this is a clear choice. the republican plan is to cut more taxes on upper-income... people and go back to deregulation. that's what got us in trouble in the first place. president obama has a plan to rebuild america from... the ground up, investing in innovation, education... and job training. it only works if there is a strong middle class. that's what happened when i was president. we need to keep going with his plan. president obama: i'm barack obama and... i approve this message.

excuse us, while we change into something more comfortable. cool. introducing, the square sunnyd bottle.

>> hit that ball well to center. double by cliff lee. >> you know it's bad when the opposing pitcher drives in the go ahead run. the nats lost the 4th in a row. nats lost 4-1. jimmy rollins sealed the deal with a two run homer. they head to miami for a series with the marlins, depending on the weather. the nfl's top draft picks faced off on saturday night. and bragging nights go to the redskins and robert griffin iii. >> big deal.

i have to admit i was very excited to see the two of them. >> so was i? >> it was good to see them go hid to head. you have to keep in mind this is still preseason. robert griffin did look good. >> and the redskins defense put a lot of pressure on andrew luck. and i don't want to be debbie downer. the colts one won game and they have a rookie quarterback. so they're not that good. rg3 looked pretty good. >> here's the thing. the last couple of games he held the ball too long. some of that. i thought he played better. we can't expect miracles. but i thought we saw some growth. >> and i was impressed with the

running-back, morris. i'm impressed with -- as a receiver. rg3 made some good throws. you and i have talked about it. all rookie quarterbacks make lots of mistakes. >> and the leadup to the game. all the nfl was talking about your saw a lot of stats leading up about what rookie quarterbacks really do for a team. and peyton manning, his first year as a rookie quarterback he was 3-13. and most rookie quarterbacks have a rough first year. cam newton had a rough year. >> and so did john elway. any time a rookie goes out there. they turn the ball over. >> don't expect miracles. let me ask you this. what do you make of rex

grossman. >> against the colts. >> it was the colts. the worst team in football last year. >> and the second string colts. some of those guys will be batting grocery. temper your enthusiasm. you hope rg3 stays on the field. and there isn't that much difference. >> i suspect we'll see a lot of kirk cousins. >> rg3 is done for the preseason. >> finally, one quick note from nascar. tempers flared. check it out. tony stewart and matt -- battling for first place and they made contact. stewart blames him and showed

displeasure with a helmets to. >> this guy has had problems before with anger management. they need to get that under control. that's dangerous to be throwing helmets at cars. >> it sells tickets and has us talking about it. the true story behind the new movie lawless. >> holly morris is live with a look at life during the prohibition era. >> if you're lucky i'll tell you where i am. >> a guy from our area, born and raised in alexandria wrote about it in his book that inspired the movie. and the infamous bootlegger is his grandfather. stay with us.

>> time now for our facebook fan of the today. we say el low to danielle

jones. she looks forward to monday to catch up with fox 5 morning news. log on to our facebook page and leave a comment. set to debut as a major motion picture, it's the tale of one family's history of bootlegging. >> it stars some of hollywood's biggest names. but you might be surprised at the connection to our area. holly morris is live with more. >> reporter: the movie called lawless is all based on a true story about infamous bootlegging brothers. that's a coole connection to the area. but closer to home is the book the wettest county in the world because it was written by -- who was born and raised in alexandria and his grandfather happened to be one of those

infamous bootlegging brothers. matt now lives in dallas and he joins us live to talk it. tell me a little bit about your relationship with your grandfather. how much did you know about his occupation? >> there was a general sense that he was involved in the moonshine trade from let's say when i was a teenager. but it wasn't something that was really talked about in the open or discussed much until my young 20s when we started to do some research. my father started background research and uncovered a series of articles that detailed some of the exploits of my grandfather and his brothers. him and his brothers were a known group. >> at what point do you decide to write a story about this?

and i know it's historical fiction. how much of it is factual versus your creative writing side that you're so good at? >> i think early on in the early stages i considered the idea of doing it as a nonfiction piece depending on how much material i was able to uncover. after i finished the novel in 2005, i knew this would be the next project. it was clear it wouldn't work as a nonfiction piece. there just wasn't enough information. we had court transcripts, newspaper articles, a few photos, word of mouth stories, but there were no journals or letters and not a lot of documentation to account for the day-to-day activities and other smaller incidents.

in a nonfiction piece i would have to -- a lot of conjecture and creativity. to me it seemed clear it would be better served in a fictionalized retelling. and i took the events that we were pretty clear on that we know happened. and then we tried to reimagine the scenes and connected them in a constellation of possibilities, creating dramatic narratives to connect these events and realistic or plausible ways. at the same time, reimagining my grandfather as an 18-year- old man which was an interesting experience. >> at what point did you get notified that this was going to become a major motion picture and shia labeouf was going to

play your grandfather. >> 2008. and pretty quickly it found itself in the hands of the producers at red wagon. and all pretty quickly became attacked to it. really before i even knew what was going on, they were attached. but the three were basically with it throughout the whole process. >> are you happy with how the movie turned out? is it pretty true to the book. the book is violent and descriptive. are you happy with the outcome of the movie? >> i am. as far as novel to film adaptations go. i think it's remarkably consistent and stays close to the book. he wanted to stay true to the

spirit of the book and the brothers in particular. he wanted to stay true to the spirit of the time and the place. that i spent a lot of time to replicate the county. the historical detail is amazing. and there was a car which is the same car my father learned how to drive on. with any film adaptation, there's some cutting and amplification of the dramatic events. the major scenes in the book are all in the film and a lot of the dialogue is straight from the book. he used a lot of my lines and my material. so as far as an author as a novelist, it's really an amazing situation. >> matt thank you so much for sharing your insight on the book and what you thought of the movie. the book is the wettest county

in the world and the movie is lawless. we'll have more on prohibition including where i am and if you might want to get a drink here. 

this is fox 5 morning news. >> right now at 9:00, tracking isaac. the tropical storm churning towards the gulf coast is already bringing rain and wind to parts of florida. coming up, the preparations underway. and how isaac is affecting the republican national convention in tampa. >> and thousands are hitting the hallways today. we have a report on the first day back. and we'll check in within allison who sent her daughters off to school this morning. and we're learning more about the deadly super bug at the national institute of
