might need a little bit of a rain hat down south where we still have a few sprinkles but overall a accident day ahead. for june, a really nice day as temperatures will be very comfortable topping out in the low 70s. could be a shower in a couple of spots west of town as we get into the afternoon hours and evening hours but for the most part we're going to have a dry, comfortable day. overnight some showers did come down. it's a little tough to see. affecting southern maryland in the northern neck. as we look at live doppler 9000, light showers. heavier stuff 95 south of thornburg and south of newland. so the showers are pretty much over. temps are running in the 50s to 60 in fredricksburg. let's go to monika now with an update on time saver traffic. >> thank you so much. good morning, everybody. overall right now things are looking pretty good for a tuesday morning. the beltway all lanes are open. you can see mostly green and some yellow forming on the beltway but that's normal for 6:00. if you're planning to head

inbound . /-66, you have the slow traffic. a bit in manassas and centreville. route 50 to 123. we'll take you outside live to nutley street. here's where the pace improves as you head for the beltway and beyond toward the roosevelt bridge. this time all the way to the south side of town. looking good on all of your southern maryland corridors, including 210 out of accokeek to oxon hill. we'll take a live look outside planning to head over to the beltway on the south side, here is the national harbor. traffic is moving well between the wilson bridge, alexandria and this point as well. in my next report at 6:11we'll take a look at the north side. at the top of the hour we're following breaking news. the c.i.a. is trying to take out the number two man in al qaeda in a series of drone strikes. we're still waiting to find out if these hits were successful. the target, abu yahia al-libi.

he was living if pakistan and responsible for the al qaeda's day-to-day operations there. six drone strikes have taken place in the last 24 hours. it's optimistic he was taken out in one of those hits but we're still following this. police in montgomery county are investigating a deadly crash. >> it has route 28 tied up in the northwestern part of the county. that crashed happened just after 1:00 this morning in the community of dickerson. >> which is about eight miles west of 270. this mangled vehicle is what the scene looked like along 28 at mount receive frame -- mount ephraim road earlier this morning. one person is dead and another taken to the hospital. so far investigators are not sure what caused the crash. the names of the people involved are not being released at this point either and there were traffic concerns earlier but as monika has been reporting, the road is clear now. in just a few hours jury selection begins in the trial of jerry sandusky. >> he's the former penn state football coach accused of

sexually assaulting children. >> delia goncalves is live with a preview of today's proceedings. good morning. >> reporter: no doubt is will be a very emotional day in court. sandusky himself expected to be in the courtroom. he faces 52 counts of child sexual abuse. at least eight of the ten accusers are set to testify in the trial we're told. according to the judge, they must use their real names. so far they've only been identified by number. prosecutors will give graphic detail on the type of sexual acts that occurred and where. many of these alleged attacks happened on campus, hotels, sandusky's car, even a local middle school. the state's attorney says the most recent case happened in 2009. however, the defense is expected to question the credibility of the accusers' stories and the initial report by then grad student michael mcqueary who told investigators he saw sandusky assaulting a boy in a shower back in 2002 but prosecutors now say he was

off by a whole year. >> the jury is going to be asking itself if mike mcqueary who has no dog in this hunt is making up a story, could these others witnesses be making up a story as well. >> any humiliating, embarrassing experience in their past life that has a bearing on their believability potentially may be revealed to all the world in this trial. >> reporter: the allegations sparked outrage on campus and this riot when legendary coach joe paterno was let go for his knowledge of the allegations and investigators say he did nothing about that knowledge of the allegations. he has since died of lung cancer. coming up at 6:30, a look back at the scandal and a shocking interview that jerry sandusky himself did with bob kostas. you'll want to hear his words yourself. >> delia goncalves with that live update in our satellite center this morning. today the d.c. city council will take its final vote on the new budget for the district.

the $9.4 billion spending plan heads to mayor gray for his signature. the budget include as provision to double the number of traffic cameras to extend closing time to 4:00 a.m. and some bars and expand performance parking rates across the city. that would allow prices to be raised in heavily used areas. a $7500 reward is now being offered to help fairfax county police catch whoever stabbed some farm animals on two occasions in recent weeks. the most attack last week at kidwell barn in herndon. someone slashed a calf, two goats and a chicken. recently before that, three horses were stabbed in a nearby field. investigators are hoping by increasing the reward, it will convince someone to come forward with information. >> we don't have a lot of physical evidence we can talk about that would link it but logically it makes sense we'll be working both of them. >> police have increased patrols around the farm until an arrest is made.

6:06. jessica doyle is here with another your money report. >> your teenagers are just about home for the summer so they need to be looking for work in many cases. >> this is turning out to be one silver lining for that really terrible job market we're dealing with right now. summer employment for teenagers off to its strongest start since 2006. that's according to analysis of the latest labor department numbers. the number of 16 and 19-year- olds hired in may totaled 157,000, more than double last year's numbers. the firm is forecasting 2012 will show continued improvement for teens in the job market compared to last year but despite the improvements, a growing number of teenagers are abandoning the summer job market. may is the first month of the teen hiring system which typically ends in july. verizon communications has offered voluntary buyouts to employees across 12 states. the company is trying to cut

junk. thanks, jess. >> our big kid here. facebook is allowing even younger children to become members. the social networking site says it's testing a way to allow children under the age of 13 to use the site legally. right now federal law requires anyone under 13 to get parental consent for a site which collects information. this hasn't stopped preteens we know from lying about their age to get online. facebook may link pre-teen accounts to their parents to get around the law. should we be expecting showers? howard has your weather first coming up next. >> tonight is your last chance to see something in the sky that's not coming back till the 22nd century. it's called the transfer of venus. in five minutes learn what it's all about and it's tied to the first space race nearly 400 years ago.

measurements would improve navigation which was of course important for trading or navy power. >> reporter: scientists decided by measuring the timing and angles of venus crossing the sun from various points on earth, that they could calculate the distance from earth to sun. but this triangulation required dispatching hundreds of astronomers from nearly a dozen nations to far flung corners of the globe. they dragged cumbersome equipment like this to the arctic circle, the tip of africa and siberia. what kind of terrain? >> esk basically. it's -- everything basically. eight a very vicious hostile environment. >> reporter: captain james cook's voyage to tahiti was a mission to report the transit. in philadelphia an inventor was obsessed with planning for the transit. he's written it was a great success except for a mysterious six-minute gap. >> he's so excited that when

venus finally appears on the sun, he faints missing the beginning of the most important scientific most of his life. those 18 century measurements were in fact pretty close. they projected the distance to the sun as between 92 and 97 million miles. the actual distance we now know is 93 million miles. >> you can check out the transit of venus tonight at the national air and space mao seeup. there's an expert talk inside the museum that starts at 5:45 and then you'll head outside just after 6:00 for a watch party on the national mall. you can also head to nasa goddard in greenbelt, maryland. that begins at 5:00 at the visitors center. if you miss it, december 2117 is the next time. >> when is the party at your house? >> 6:10 is when the transit will start. party at my house.
