there's one storm there. this is a pretty heavy storm, down toward dickerson, around 28. by and large, this is the heaviest storm. anybody going up 270, you know, from gaithersburg northward. big time rains. that storm did have hail in it on the west side of 270. no longer has hail at this moment. this storm has hail up toward 32, just shy of i-70 west toward frederick. that is drifting toward i-70 west. that's going to get nasty in the next 30 minutes. we are also looking at a storm toward hagerstown. not severe, but heavy, straddling i-81 from hagerstown northwestward. so big storm there. down to the south, we're looking at a storm. this just popped up in the last 30 minutes. this is a big storm. this may have hail in it. may see a warning on this in the not too distant future. this is manassas and 234 and pushing off to the north and to

the east. in fact, we'll put this into motion. it moves right where it's tracked. northeastward. good news is, the computer is dying that storm out in the next hour. so may see the worst of that storm before it moves toward manassas. our radar with lightning. got to get the kids indoors. we have tons of lightning in the mountains and these storms we just showed you, a fair amount of lightning toward howard county, south of 70, and that storm we saw pop up around manassas, we'll zoom into that. get the kids indoors, obviously, get away from windows because this storm is pretty hefty. in fact, look at the lightning as it moves off to the north and east through germantown and this moved through heart of town and up 29. so, get ready for some localized heavy activity. live weather cam brought to you buy michael and son. dew point 68. not too bad. 28.90 inches of mercury. 79 arlington. you can see where it's rain.

but you know what? we tried that top down approach. it's what caused the mess in the first place. i believe the only way to create an economy built to last is to strengthen the middle class. asking the wealthy to pay a little more so we can pay down our debt in a balanced way. so that we can afford to invest in education, manufacturing, and home-grown american energy for good middle class jobs. sometimes politics can seem very small. but the choice you face, it couldn't be bigger. ♪ i'm barack obama and i approve this message.

laurel. here's the deal. more afternoon storms, isolated storms tonight. almost hot tomorrow. i think the commute will be dry tomorrow morning, but more storms are possible wednesday afternoon and again some of those could be hefty. for tonight, isolated thunderstorms early, a few heavy. otherwise partly cloudy and mild. mid 60s in the suburbs. low 70s downtown. now tomorrow morning, partly cloudy and warm. the commute should be dry, i cannot rule out an isolated shower or thunderstorm late in the morning toward lunchtime, 70s and 80s and by afternoon, kind of do it all over again. partly cloudy, very warm. some thunderstorms, some heavy. high temperatures near 90. winds out of the southwest at 10. so let me break it down for you. 56 to 74. 82 to 86 by noon. and 85 to 89, maybe a thunderstorm late and a chance of a thunderstorm around lunchtime. next three days, we'll keep it simple on our weather alert codes. yellow, yellow, yellow. big storms possible. few and far between. there could be a few.

near 90. hot and storms on thursday. 93. hot with storms on friday, 95. next seven days. stays tough for a while. temperatures in the mid 90s on saturday. mid 90s on sunday. and then a better chance for storms on monday as a cold front pushes through. 91 doesn't really drop temperatures on tuesday back to 90. once again, severe thunderstorm warning for fairfax county until 6:30. >> temperatures are creeping up. okay, thanks, top. >> all those storms top is telling us about, they forced the redskins to move inside for part of the afternoon practice. >> you won't hear any complaints, she is live at redskins park, dodging all that rain. >> it has calmed down. everything seems to have a few ominous clouds. like you said, we aren't complaining, it's a nice breeze, it's cool. beats the 100 degree temperatures we had before. the redskins did get majority of their practice out of the way. but then, the storms came

rolling through. the lightning sent the fans away and the team went to the bubble. now despite that chaos, we did get a chance to see how the skins are coping with all those injuries to their offensive line. they are kind of doing a little bit of an o line shuffle. dave owens takes a closer look. >> corey had surgery today. >> man down. >> make that men down. big men. bits and pieces of the redskins offensive line is afflicted with something. he has knee issues. willie smith. >> a little twist in knees and an mri. >> and jamal brown is getting an mri on his hip. so who is going to protect rg3? let's hope they are bigger and stronger than i am. he told me that he has to put on ten more pounds before he is ready to go. he also told me he has to get back in the football mode. >> two days ago, i was full-

time dad mode. >> and now he is thrown back into this random mix of biggens. are they concerned? >> it's not an ideal situation, but we're going to play with who we have. >> sometimes it happens at one position. if you do lose one or two guys, you are expecting some guys to fill the void. >> in the most important position, defending the franchise, yikes. >> dave owens is joining me now. the redskins, they just can't catch a break. >> yes, especially on the offensive line. we have been talking about it. 41 sacks a year ago. there were only ten teams worse than that. this is a team that had question marks. now you have a whole bunch of question marks. it's not good trying to protect the franchise. >> especially this year, more important than any. we saw what the problems were last year. we did see once it got to 11 on 11, they got to see how they were coping with it. what did you think about it?

>> i thought he looked okay. i keep using that word okay, the building block, the growing process continues. i think he's a guy that has to get the football out of his hands a lot quicker. we aren't comparing him to those guys yet, but 2.9, 3.1 seconds, that ball is out of their hands. it is taking him longer. but that has got to speed up. this offensive line has to get better. you are seeing guys get around the corner. so, they have to sure those things up and we knew they would happen. >> getting the ball out of his hand faster, especially considering they are not in full pads. they wouldn't be going as fast as a game. it's the time to get the cinks out. we would like to see him release a lot better. there were a lot of awes out there. the fans were enjoying it. lots of great catches. but still some work in progress. but hey, it's only day five. dave owens, thanks so much. i'm kristen berset. back to you guys in the studio.

>> offensive line woes already. thanks, guys. still ahead, it might not be the sport of kings but it's making a maryland boy feel like royalty. >> extreme rain and snowstorms. they are happening more often according to an environmental group. i'm anny hong in leesburg, virginia, with how they say global warming is a factor. but up next, the facade last year and now plans are in the works to restore the famed coliseum.

the restoration of the coliseum in italy will begin in december. it is expected to take about 2 1/2 years. the $30 million update is being paid for by the founder of a luxury shoe maker. he has been urging his friends to fix these landmarks because the country can't afford to do it. forget the olympics, the hottest event around here these days is cup stacking. oh yeah. and maryland is home to the national champ. mike meets up with the champ in randallstown. >> this is the sound of success. and so is this. noah is a master at these little yellow cups, special little yellow cups. >> why are you feeling good?

>> because i got three gold medals hanging on my neck. >> gold medals not from any organization, but the amateur athletic union. he is, in his category, the fastest eight-year-old in america. >> create towers and you try to take them down really fast with a good time. >> how good are you? >> probably really good. >> 3, 3, 3, and that's 3, 6, 3, and the other stack is the cycle. >> mom couldn't be prouder. who wouldn't be with a son who is the best in the country? but here's what you don't know about noah. >> he is blind in his right eye and has glaucoma in the left eye. >> literally, blind in one eye and can't see out of the other. >> it is something he wanted to do and something he would build his confidence, considering that he can't play like basketball or football or something. this is a once in a lifetime opportunity. >> his time is off with those in the able bodied category

with achieve. his eyesight may never improve, but with practice he knows his stacking time will. >> that is great. that was mike shoe reporting. the national contest is by invitation only. he plans to enter more competitions to see if he can be invited again next year. this 19news now. >> storms are moving through this afternoon and evening and the 9 weather teamdeclared a code yellow alert. let's get to topper. >> that storm we have been watching over prince william county prompted the national weather service to issue a warning. i am zoomed in on this storm. between fairfax and chantilly. this had a will the of hail and the reason primarily why they issued a severe thunderstorm warning. if you
