the threat for severe weather. three weeks ago we had all the tornadoes. that is not like that. itself conditions are difficult. i'm not expecting tornadoes but expecting potentially strong storms which could have damaging wind gusts, straight line gusts. this morning balmy, 83 degrees. it is a steamy morning. by noon 90. we could also be seeing the start after few storms, especially west of d.c. which will rumble across the area during the afternoon and evening hours with highs in the low 90s. a 5:00 p.m. temperature of 89 degrees. this morning we've had a couple of light showers over us. one line, a second line, a thin line now but you throw in the daytime heating and these things will increase in their coverage and intensity. showers this morning, western maryland and out toward the shenandoah valley are fairly light. looking at some of the temperatures here, here's sperryville seeing a shower, light one toward front royal and also in western maryland as well. you see the showers dotted about from cumberland toward just west of martinsburg moving

off to the northeast. temps this morning, it's sticky out there. cool spots in the low 70s and 69 out toward luray but 82 in annapolis. 75 in la plata and 74 in leesburg and frederick. let's go over to monika samtani now with a look at time saver traffic. we've had troubles on the northbound side of i-95 in virginia namely in woodbridge where there were two separate accidents. one at the prince william parkway along the left side of the road and another just north of the okay quain which was quick -- owe occoquan which was quickly moved to the shoulder but you see the traffic forming already past woodbridge and past the two spat accidents. -- separate incidents. this is going to be slow and heavy because of the two separate accidents with authorities on the scene. back over to the maps and this time to the north side of town. 95 in maryland looks great between baltimore and our beltway. we'll take a live look in college park. no issues to report and down here at the wilson bridge as

the national transportation safety board found metro and three manufacturers were to blame essentially for that deadly crash citing a faulty brake system and safety equipment that never detected the stopped train ahead of the moving train. 20 lawsuits were filed, including one representing the nine victims. most of the cases were settled out of court but today we're told we could see more suits because the district has a three-year statute of limitations and that statute officially expires today on the third-year anniversary of this deadly red line crash where nine victims lost their lives. 12 children were left orphaned. their mothers, fathers died here that day, three years ago. coming up at 6:30, what metro has done to make the system safer, even though problems still exist. we'll have that side of the story coming up in a half-hour. mike, andre came, back to you-- >> andrea, back to you. >> thank you, delia.

good morning. welcome back to 9news now on this friday morning, 6:15. you see it, severe weather alert today. to tell us exactly what that

means and when things will happen, here's howard. >> it means we're concerned for the afternoon hours today for the threat for severe thunderstorms. could be containing damaging wind gusts. three weeks ago had 12 confirmed tornadoes on a friday. we're not expecting that. this is a different sort of setup in the atmosphere where tornadoes are not likely but damaging wind gusts are definitely possible in the strongest of thunderstorms. we're raising the flag for those concerns. i think the afternoon hours, 12:00, 1:00 starting west to about 6:00, 7:00 is when we'll have the likely time frame for these storms. there could abcouple of -- could be a couple of rounds of storms. that's it in a nutshell. here are the details to start you out on this friday morning. fairly quiet early. we'll have temperatures starting in the low 80s. low 80s here in town. 70s north and west. been a year since we've had a june night which has not tallen below 80 degrees. i think it's going back to 1995. so a very warm start. we'll only get into the low 90s.

it's still hot but not as hot as yesterday. 99 at national yesterday broke a record. dulles missed theirs by two. they got up to 96. 90 this afternoon at 4:00 with a high around 92. scattered strong storms. heavy rain and gusts being the primary concerns. there could be a lingering storm or two by 8:00 at 84. this morning just some light showers have pushed through overnight. we see some light ones northern virginia, western maryland. a few storms back out in western and southwestern areas of virginia and back here. see this line in pennsylvania and ohio? that's ahead of a cold front which will be coming through later today. looking at these showers that are coming up here -- toward front royal right now and strawsberg, all of this is moving -- strasburg, all of this is moving to the northeast. breezewood. look at this.

temperatures, we've got readings in the 60s in oakland but most of us 70s and 80s right now. 83 in d.c. 77 in easton and patuxent river. gaithersburg 75. here in town a biewmy start to the -- balmy start to the day. we have mostly cloudy skies. 83. heat index right now 87 with the humidity at 65%. there's relief. look at it. chicago, detroit in the 60s this morning. us up toward boston in the low 80s. front there is going to come through so as we head toward the middle of the day, partly sunny. a couple of clouds, maybe an isolated shower. middle of the afternoon notice the showers and storms popping. they will be with us for the late afternoon as well. so the evening commute, the trip to the beach may get hampered by storms but drier air moves in for the weekend. that's the keyle. today 9 -- the key also. today 92. watch out for strong storms this afternoon. 89 tomorrow and sunday. looks real good for the weekend

with lower humidity levels. could be a storm late sunday. then next week cooler. storms possible monday and again on wednesday. good morning, everybody. thank the lord tampa bay hasn't left town. no more glove espionage. down to the business of trying to win a series last night which prior to the yankees coming to town was something the nat diswith regularity. so a rubber match beckoned the last evening. check this out, guys. redskins fans will like this. daryl green is a flamethrower. minister of defense looking good. then in the fifth, ian desmond says no, no, i'm the minister of defense. how about the glove work and spin. 2-1. joe peralta, we know that name more than we want to now, he's appealing an eight-game suspension for pine tar. hence he played last night. that's what happened when you don't use pine tar.

halloween -- sydney crosby halloween night. that's a quick look at sports. have a great friday, everybody. not a great friday on the northbound side of 95. we'll take a live look from our sky 9 where there's been accident activity along the left side of the road. this is just near dale city or just north of that point. sowf' got the slow traffic -- so you've got the slow traffic trying to squeeze by it and there was an earlier accident near the occoquan which has moved over to the shoulder. beyond that you're good up on to 395 and the 14th street bridge. may not be so good over the weekend. that's because there are big construction plans at the wilson bridge this weekend. if you need to get there i suggest take you change your plans. we have an extra mile report where project workers are saying that you need to stay away from the outer loop in alexandria. to tell us more about the construction plans for the weekend is john jacobson, the executive project engineer for the wilson bridge project. thank you so much, john, for

being with us early this morning. >> glad to be here. >> it was a pleasure to meet you there yesterday on the beltway and even on a good day, midday the traffic is terrible. give us the plans for construction this weekend. >> this weekend we're going to be taking 95 north between van dorn and telegraph road down to one lane. so the message is it's going to be bad backups. but to help that some, we're going to close down the ramp from 95 north if springfield to direct some of that traffic. >> you're talking about the outer loop that's kind of a north and eastbound side of the beltway, only the right lane will be open. >> correct. >> for the majority of the weekend. there will be no access from northbound 95 in springfield to get to the outer loop, is that correct? >> that is correct. between 7:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. we're going to shut down that ramp in springfield to help alleviate some of the congestion we expect to see with that one lane going through from van dorn to

telegraph. you can get -- to get on the bridge at telegraph road and route 1 but that would be an alternate route. >> you have some maps behind you, john. can you give us an idea of the best alternate routes to get around this this weekend? >> well, like i said, if you can get on telegraph road, we have good ramps here coming from north or south. duke street to our north over to route 1 and of course route 1 itself. if you come from the franconia direction, that would get you over to route 1 or telegraph road. but most travelers are going to want to go into d.c. or if you're going through on 95, go all the way to the american legion bridge. that's actually not much longer. >> if you're a north-south traveler, you definitely want to stick to the west side of town. take the american legion bridge which you normally may not do but in this case it will be the best situation across the american legion bridge, the north side of the beltway and back on to 95. the last time you did this on

the inner loop of the beltway, there was some major delays. >> yes. we had them backed up pretty badly. because we don't have any diversion for the inner loop and they were backed up to barnabas road. it's just a matter with one single lane trying to put all that traffic through isn't enough capacity. unfortunately that will be the case for two days saturday and sunday. >> john jacobson, you're giving us the best advice which is to stay away from the beltway in alexandria. thank you so much for being with us this morning. we'll be back in a few minutes with more on traffic. in the meantime you're watching 9news now. we'll be right back. ♪
