be something you need. looking outside this morning, cloudy skies out there. we've got showers, even a couple of rumbles. 75 with just clouds on top of the hour at national. 84 by noon. mostly cloudy. still can't rule out a lingering shower or storm. this afternoon looks like the storms that move south, partly sunny conditions. a high temperature around 87 degrees. here are the showers and stornlg. you see the -- storms. you see the lightning. still heavier activity toward nedrick this morning coming out -- frederick this morning coming out of prince william. temps running in the 70s and muggy. big headache for virginia and d.c. drivers, especially if you're one of those that takes the gw parkway. good morning, everybody. i've been telling you all morning long the gw parkway is blocked northbound before the spout run parkway all due to a large tree down in the road.

i know crews are on the scene working on the situation. let's go to a couple live pictures outside and give you a perspective of what's going o. no access from the roosevelt bridge or memorial bridge to get on to the northbound gw parkway. that means 110, route 50 and military road will be heavier than normal. on the west side of town, if you're one of those that heads over to the beltway and the american legion bridge, you are going to be fine. southbound gw parkway is not affected. southbound 270 at route 109 is heavy not only because of the wet road conditions but there was a disabled vehicle in the roadway as well. we have our delia goncalves out live telling us about the situation on the green line as well. maybe metro is going to be a better idea, delia? >> reporter: it sounds like it so far. they were reporting a 15-minute delay. however, good news to pass along to commuters on the green line this morning. no delays. crews were able to repair that train derailment -- i'm sorry, they were able to repair the

portion of the track that caused the train derailment not too far away from this west hyattsville stop on friday. metro is blaming the extreme heat for expanding a portion of that rail so when the train passed by around 5:00 p.m. friday, it derailed inside the tunnel. prince george's county fire responded to the scene quickly and evacuated passengers safely. >> 95ems folks operating on the scene assisted in evacuating the 56 people from the train. our folks entered the tunnel from the station, walked down to the train, meet up with the conductor of the train, make sure they had to a face to face to know where the patients were. >> they were single tracking it fort totten and pg plaza. everything is back up and running. crews have repaired that portion of the rail.

so no major delays on metro. at least we can pass that good news along to commuters this monday morning. >> that certainly is music to a lot of people's ears because it's been really tough this morning i think as delia said. maybe metro will be a good option for you, especially with the wet road conditions. you can see how heavy northbound 95 is as well from quantico. will be off and on toward springfield and on to the beltway. i'll be back with more traffic coming up once again at 6:12. 6:03. we're following breaking news out of fairfax county. police shoot and kill a man overnight in the mount vary fan area. this all -- mount vernon area n. all happened just before midnight at frye road and route 1. two officers talking with two men they thought were acting suspiciously. one of them ran off. police chased after him. they say he pulled out a gun and fired at the officers. one of them fired back striking the man. he died at a hospital a short time later. police have not released the
