a stative emergency in florida this morning with -- state of emergency in florida with hurricane irma upgrade today a category 4 storm. president trump is expected to annoyance the end of the daca program today. what it could mean

thousands of undocumented immigrants who came to the u.s. when they were kids, and it is the first day of school for thousands of kids in maryland and virginia today. so allyson, they're getting up this morning. they might be looking at the closet oh, what's the weather looking like? >> you know what? for the first day of school for folks in maryland, a lot warmer than it was for folks in virginia last week. we're starting off pretty warm this morning. it's going to feel kind of like summer this afternoon. into the upper 80s. ahead of a cold front. but this is going to be the only day that it's going to be this warm. this is 12:30. lunchtime. recess time. we're in the low 80s out there. we're going to see a slightly humid more humid day as well. this is 5:30 tonight. through the evening, we already have some showers and storms starting to build in. the further west you go during the peak heating hours of the day we could see some showers and thunderstorms get on the stronger side and as we head through the evening this is 8:30 at night. the shower will kind of continue to fill on in. they won't last all evening and they will filter on out and

cooling you have a little bit for tomorrow and talk about that cool weather. but everything on everyone's mind is irma and this update is coming up in a few minutes. guys? good morning, thank you for joining us, i'm jan jeffcoat. >> i'm larry miller. back to school today? >> that's right. >> heading back to school, a good day. >> meantime we're keeping a close eye on hurricane irma gaining strength in the caribbean this morning. another one of the top stories. >> irma is a huge storm. it's a beast and it's very dangerous and a little daunting i should say is what i meant to say there. this storm is highly organized and highly submit recool and you can see the -- symmetrical and you can see the eye so far away. this is now a category 4 and the potential for a category 5 is not in the official forecast but it's not out of the question. as it makes its way

islands. a lot is to be said about the track of this. so when you watch the forecast cone, keep things in mind that the center of the storm could go anywhere in that cone. and that's going to play a big role in how much this could impact the u.s. so this is tonight. at 8:00. still category 4 and we are looking at 150-mile-per-hour winds as even stronger than it is right now. hurricane watches and warnings are in place for antigua, those are the hurricane warnings right through puerto rico. they have upgraded the hurricane watch to hurricane warning. still category 4 status tomorrow right through tomorrow evening. now this is when things get a little more interesting. we're farther out and the uncertainty has grown here. we're at thursday at 8:00 at night. this storm could easily go on the lower side of this more southern side of this cone. or it could go farther to the north of this cone. if it stays right in the center, that's probably wo

very warm water, these islands here are not very high. and if the storm went further to the south, who's case for he is -- worst case for cuba and hispaniola and cuba and best case for the united states. the islands would really entry the intensity down a -- bring the intensity town a lot. if it stays to the north, or even farther to the north it will keep its strength as category 4. if not a little bit stronger. we've seen this forecast cone change dramatically within the past five days. so yes, florida is in the cone. the bahamas are in the cone. but this could change again pretty quickly if this goes farther to the south. we'd be looking at a very weak storm kind of sliding up through florida. this is saturday night 8:00. might be seeing some impacts here for florida. so is it nailed down that florida will see the impact? no, but concerns are growing greatly and i would do

so this is the computer models we do see a lot of agreement through saturday afternoon. and then a lot of these are starting to turn oftest north. but -- to the north. but remember we have pieces of the puzzle getting back together and this could easily change within the next 24 to 48 hours depending how north or south irma decides to slide through some of the greater antilles. this would head our way maybe by next week. still looking six, seven days apay from any potential impact for us. we will keep you updated on irma and that's coming up later. ellen? finally here, terrible traffic tuesday. a lot of people calling back to work and school. now so far i'm not seeing traffic look that bad. we've had a tree that's been down by rock creek parkway northbound right by virginia avenue. they've juice cleared that and seeing some delays -- just cleared that and seeing some delays still on kennedy center. inner loop of the beltway. off ramp by leesburg pike
