tomorrow. >> we've got some pretty good rains coming this way tomorrow, especially in the afternoon where flash flooding is a possibility in some local spots where some of that storm could produce heavy rainfall. here's a look at radar where you can see we've got mainly cloudy skies, came areas of scattered showers right now, generally west of town. we also see some pop-up thunderstorms here and there, but overall should be pretty uneventful. now we have cloudy conditions in downtown, temperature 87 degrees, dew point around 61. so we are feeling the sticky air out there. currently it's 83 in gaithersburg, 81 for manassas, culpeper 75, fredericksburg in the lower 80s and annapolis at 85 degrees. now what we have going on is basically coming in from the west is a cold front already seeing some showers and severe thunderstorms out toward the tennessee and memphis area. what we'll see is a cold front come through tomorrow and i think especially in the afternoon things will really get very wet around here and i

think we could see pretty good rainfall. it will be unsettled and cooler, but tonight we're looking at just an isolated thunderstorm, maybe a shower, showers and storms really pick up for tuesday. you'll need your umbrellas for sure. flash flooding is a possibility and then we got drier air moving in for wednesday. it will really give us some leaf once these storms come through. the -- relief once these storms come through. the 9 futurecast, tonight maybe a couple showers, kind of isolated, otherwise looking at some more showers picking up especially by tuesday afternoon and then by late tuesday night all this stuff pushes out of here. i think these rains can really be heavy, especially in the afternoon. national weather service not issuing any flash flood warnings yet but are toshing about the possibility closer to tomorrow -- talking about the possibility closer to tomorrow. we're looking at maybe 1 1/2 inches by tomorrow night, but locally some places may get 2

you've been nudged, cajoled and fawned over and called sweetie pie, but do not get the idea you're anything special because you're not. selflessness is the sweetest thing you can do for your. the sweetest joys of life come then only with the recognition that you're not special. >> so is every high school graduate just a little special? a blunt graduation speech with mixed reactions tonight. massachusetts english teacher david mccullough, jr. told wesley high school grads nine times you're not special. a lot of folks love the honesty. others call it a downer and wrong for the occasion. david mccullough explained his

message on cbs this morning. >> well, i've been teaching high school kids for 26 years and in that time one comes to see what kids need to be told. these are wonderful kids and one grows very fond of them and proud of them, but that doesn't mean you should indulge them with things, with platitudes or false encouragement. i wanted to give them the notion that with their privilege comes responsibility. >> mccullough said he thought he was just talking to the graduates and had no idea that video of this speech would garner all this attention and i say welcome to 2012, my friend. another thing getting attention people in great britain are buzzing about how prime minister david cameron and his wife samantha left their 8-year-old daughter behind in a pub after having lunch. downing street confirms little nancy was left for about 15 minutes that the pub before her

dad, the prime minister, came back to pick her up. it all happened a couple months ago. cameron went home in one car thinking nancy was in the other car with all the other kids. well, mrs. cameron says she assumed nancy was with her father. >> you got to talk. coming up two u.s. college students describe how they survived being trapped for nine days in a snowstorm in the new zealand wilderness. >> your risk of stroke may be connected to how much sleep you get. i'm theresa garcia in los angeles. >> but up next two council members out, a mayor under investigation. where does the d.c. government go from here? we'll get some answers when we come back.

we now know when that special election will be held to replace kwame brown as d.c. council chair following his guilty pleas on fraud charges. the d.c. board of elections says it will happen november 6th, the same day as the general election. petitions for candidacy will be available on this friday for all those who may be interested. so as many d.c. residents are still sort of scratching their head wondering what the heck happened to our city government, we turn to a man who just may have some answers on that sun. bill light foot, a former at large d.c. council member and lawyer and long time city resident and active if politics even if he's no longer on the

council. bill, good to see you. >> thanks for having me. >> what went wrong with these fellows who came in with such promise? >> i think it gets to your head after a while. it's partly ego. it's the power of the position. you believe you can do no wrong and you're entitled to certain benefits that ordinary citizens are not entitled to. if you walk into a room and every time they call you the honorable and people stand up and applaud, you begin to believe you're different than everybody else. >> the thing that gets to me is there seemed to be a desire to live larger than your public salary would allow. harry thomas bought an suv with the money he stole. you know, kwame brown faked that loan application so he could get a fancy boat. >> his boat was called bulletproof. just imagine that. he thought he was. look, i don't criticize kwame per se in the sense that i think inside he's a decent guy, but he made a terrible mistake thinking he was above the law

and that does happen to politicians. i think it's happened to at least two on the council right now. >> and the mayor still under investigation. let me ask you how much is that job sort of interim chair worth? >> if you want to become mayor, it might be a great place to be and the speculation is vince may have to step down at some point and whoever is acting chair then becomes acting mayor and it looks like right now either phil mendelson or vincent orange will become acting chairman and certainly vincent orange has expressed an interest in becoming mayor and although mr. mendelson has not expressed it, he may decide it's important to become mayor. >> marion barry, everybody on the council wants to be mayor. the word is that mendelson does have the votes do. you think he's the best man for the job? >> at this time i think he is. phil mendelson has no cloud or suspicion about his integrity. he's known clout the entire city. he's gotten votes -- throughout

the entire city. he's gotten votes throughout the wards, is well respected by blacks, whites, latinos. >> kwame brown was on the short list to be the next mayor. that list is really short now, isn't it? who else could there be? >> among the sitting city council members i would say muriel bowser, phil mendelson and jack evans. jack has expressed publicly he would like to become mayor. >> he's run before a couple times. is d.c. now speaking of jack evans perhaps on the verge of its first ever white mayor? >> we came close once before with dave clark. dave clark is very similar to phil mendelson in the sense that i think they're very progressive, known throughout the city and they went everywhere. phil goes everywhere. jack evans has been very successful representing ward 2, but he's not yet reached out into the rest of the city. if he can start to do that, i think people will vote for him. i think black people will vote for somebody who is going to provide quality education, run our schools and keep our city

safe. >> right now have high ethical standards. >> that's no. 1 right now. >> great to klatt with you as always. thank -- chat with you as always. thank you so much. doctors often tell to us get more sleep, but now there is a particularly good reason for it. a new study from the university of alabama at birmingham finds getting too little sleep can put older and middle aged people at risk for stroke. theresa garcia has the details. >> reporter: dale beck wakes up extra early so he can get to the gym and that means he's only sleeping five or six hours a night. >> getting up early and working out has helped me keep that zest going throughout the day. >> reporter: but a new study shows people over 45 who regularly sleep less than six hours are at higher risk for developing stroke symptoms. those can include a set of numbness in the body or a loss of vision. >> we live in such a 24 hour culture and the emphasis is on

improving your diet, getting more exercise, but we also forget the last thing which is get some good sleep as well. >> reporter: the study's designers were surprised to find the people in their group did not have the usual risk factors for stroke. their weight was normal and they were at a low risk for sleep apnea. >> researchers are planning to watch the study group another five years. they want see if participants go beyond the early symptoms and suffer actual strokes. >> if that's the case, then we can target the sleep through modifying quality of their sleep, the duration of their sleep. >> reporter: dale beck says for now he values his workouts more than the sleep he's losing. >> makes me think about it, but if i don't get my exercise, i'm a hire risk for something else. >> reporter: research -- higher risk for something else. >> reporter: researchers say seven or eight hours a night is healthier and if you're having trouble, ask your doctor for help. good morning america anchor

robin robert is facing a new health crisis. she survived breast cancer, but now she's announced she will undergo chemotherapy and a bone marrow transplant after being diagnosed with myelodysplastic syndrome or mds. roberts says the blood and bone marrow disease is a direct result of her breast cancer treatment. >> and the reason i am sharing this with everybody now is because later today i begin what's known as pretreatment. i'm going to have a pic line in my arm and i didn't want you to be concerned if you saw a bandage tomorrow and it's going to be there to draw blood that has to be monitored regularly and also to administer drugs later today and for the week and for a period of time and it's all to prepare me for a bone marrow transplant. >> roberts said her sister is a perfect bone marrow match and she's going to be her donor.

downer, but just the overexposure. it seems like every magazine i pick up, he's on the coverage every commercial it's him. that's fine, but he's got to produce. there's a lot of pressure. i'm curious to see how he responds. this is his rookie season. there are going to be bumps and bruises, but at the end of the year will we see him on the star track or will we say there was too much exposure at the start? that's the only thing i'm really concerned about right now? >> anything that stuck out to you, g.p.? >> not really. he's been a model citizen off the field and the practices we're watching now are really designed for him in every way to succeed. anything he does in a t-shirt and shorts he's going to look really good doing it. you're seeing the practices now. you're doing drills, running over bags. there's nothing he's going to do right now that will scare coaches. they know everything about him on the field. we'll see as time passes whether or not he can have that success, but right now he's just enjoying this ride and the experiences and learn this

offense. >> minicamp mandatory this week. what are you hoping to see from him and the skins in general? >> just continue to grasp the scheme, continue to stay healthy and to show the veterans you are there to work. as frank said, they're seeing him on jay leno walking down the aisles and seeing him on all the magazine coves. they want to see him play football and if he shows them he just wants to be one of the guys, that will be a success. >> frank, your thoughts? >> i almost forgot he was on jay leno. it comes back to leadership. the quarterback is and it's so cliche, but he is the most important part of your team. if he can gather confidence of the veterans moving forward, sky is the limit, but that's the thing, setting the tone early. that's what minicamp and training camp is for. he's got to get that contract signed so he's there day one to know i'm here all about business. >> we'll get to see a little more of him this week during minicamp. we'll be out there tomorrow. thanks so much for coming in. back over to you guys. >> thanks so much.

goodness, i can't take care of my family. what am i going to do? you feel bad, but this program help med to not focus on that -- helped me to not focus on that but to focus on what to do to get out of it. >> reporter: the katheryn k hanley family shelter gave her a second chance. she and her family were provided with the basics, housing and food. >> when you come in a place like this, it's already, you know, you're thinking what are my friends going to think? what is the impact on my kids, you know? and sitting down talking to them, of course, they were concerned and when i got here, the concerns left, so to speak, because the staff, they never made me feel less dignified than what i am. >> reporter: the shelter in fairfax gave karen's children a safe place where volunteers assist with after school tutoring. ronald redmond is the board president of shelter house. >> shelter house certainly

helps to try and minimize the impact that children in our shelters feel through bringing in groups to read stories to the kids, bringing in groups that help to put together backpacks and school supplies. >> reporter: meantime karen continued working at her job. >> you have to give to get. so i'm saving. here's your resource and together that's more for me. >> reporter: the shelter house staff helped karen keep track of her newly established savings. >> we have a strict program that we focus on employment, finances and identify housing. >> reporter: the goal for shelter house clients is to save 70% of their income. >> you're not here to live, you're here to plan. >> reporter: karen's plan worked. 26 days later she was able to sign the lease on an affordable housing unit in manassas. i'm jc hayward, 9 news now. >> the katherine k. hanley family shelter is a rapid rehousing program. the program provides the first month's rent and deposit for
