one of the earliest leavers and howard bernstein has the forecast. >> it's a nice one. comfortable today and tomorrow. the middle of the week, it will be turning into fall. wednesday night it won't feel like it until maybe in the weekend, next weekend. let's talk about what is happening here. a few clouds rolling through. in hd you can see the clouds on the right side of the screen. that is the western shield of igor which hit bermuda hard last night and this morning. a few showers and storms to the west of chicago but it's a quiet morning. 61 luray. i see annapolis at 73. easton is down to 59 degrees. we are at 70 at reagan national. partly cloudy skies. low 70s at 9:00. upper 70s at noon. we top off at 3:00 around 80, 81 in spots. north wind 10 to 15. breezy at times.

4:31. how about traffic. is that good. >> overall yes. but when it comes to construction we have closures to tell you about. we begin with south capital. it's closed at the douglas bridge until probably 5:00 a.m. all lanes are open out of fredricksburg up to the mixing bowl. going back to the chain bridge area, we want to show you that this bridge is going to be closed in both directions until 8:00 this morning. that's due to bridge repairs. that will impact a lot of our drivers that use the chain bridge. on the outer loop you are doing okay. no problems out here. we are at speeds. live shot at university. finally we wrap it up at 95 and the bw parkway. 95 at powder mill, first set of construction will clear by 5:00. southbound watch for it at 198. this morning the redskins and their fans are still trying

to figure out what happened during their home game versus the texans. the team scored 27 points. donovan mcnabb threw for more than 400 yards and a double digit lead late in the third quarter. game was sealed, right? it wasn't enough for a win. mcnabb's only touchdown was in the third quarter. that put the skins up 27-10. in the fourth with two minutes left in regulation, andre johnson grabbed a ball in the end zone to tie things up at 27. in overtime, the redskins missed a field goal for the win then the texans hit the field goal and won 30-27. >> this will be a hard one to get past. >> that team you can't stop. you have to keep going. they are a team that can come back quick. we didn't do enough that we needed to do. >> we did do a hell of a job

today. we played good football all the way around. we have to be able to finish. >> despite the loss, some fans told 9news they were optimistic for next week's game. >> next sunday. we are coming back. >> i'm afraid we used up all of our luck last week but i'm optimistic for the season. >> one other thing many redskins nance are asking themselves, where was albert haynesworth. some aren't buying the hurt ankle explanation provided by the team. in other news, we should know if d.c. school chancellor michelle reis staying or going. if she is staying exactly for how long as bruce johnson tells us, her future in the district depends on vincent gray. >> michelle rhee is due back from vacation. she will met vin sanity gray. >> people feel like they have

been marginal lized. >> reporter: in a town heavily democratic, gray is all but certain of winning the general election and that he and rhee will part company at some point. >> montgomery county superintendent would he be a candidate. cheney losing his job in newark, would be economy candidate. >> no. he has been here before and weiss has done a good job but he will be connected to the more traditional approaches to education. i will look for a person that brings quality of education reform but somebody who can work with people. >> reporter: rhee supporters will be watching. the fear is that gray's version of reform will look different, slower than rhee. one big area of disagreement are some of the teachers fired by rhee who cited a budget crunch at the time. the fenty administration had no

plans for allowing the reduction and force teachers to reapply for their jobs but gray has a different take. >> these are teachers that were not fired because of performance. they were fired because they didn't have the money. >> you wouldn't bring them back or would you? >> any teacher that had a good performance evaluation should be eligible to come back. >> chancellor rhee said she didn't think she could work with leigh. she called the outcome devastating for the children and said it was not aimed at gray but the winning efforts to stop her reforms. the doctor shot inside johns hopkins hospital is improving from a gunshot wound to the abdomen. he is in fair and stable condition. he was shot thursday by 50-year- old paul warren pardus. police say he then shot and killed his mother and then himself. unless the u.s. supreme court intervenes, theresa lewis

face-to-face meeting with the country's president. >> we are encouraged that perhaps the humanitarianism will be renewed and continued and josh and shane will be home soon. >> reporter: they spoke at a new york news conference sunday with sarah shourd hours after she returned to the united states. shourd with her fiance, shane bauer and josh fattal were arrest in 2009. >> shane and josh do not deserve to be in prison one day longer than i was. we committed no crimes and we are not spies. >> iranian president, mahmoud ahmadinejad, who is in new york for the united nations general assembly described shouted's release as -- shourd's release as a humanitarian gesture. >> the u.s. government should make a humanitarian gesture. >> reporter: the case has complicated matters between

tehran and washington. relations were strained over the country's nuclear program. just this summer, the u.s. security council imposed its toughest sanctions on the country. ahmadinejad has down played the impact. >> we take sanctions seriously but taking it seriously is different than believing they are effective. >> reporter: the iranian president is expected to spark protests. >> mahmoud ahmadinejad will address the u.n. general assembly thursday. the u.n. is asking world leaders to send more financial relief aid to pakistan. the plea comes two days after the u.n. made the largest disaster appeal ever asking the world governments to raise $2 billion for flood victims. some countries say they will provide relief if the pakistani government can account for
