the ohio valley over to the mid- atlantic, the bigger stuff is south and east of us. that's likely the trend later this afternoon as well. however, with the daytime heating, a disturbance to the south. close enough to us, areas by 5:00, especially in virginia and maryland will have a better chance of storms. much of that is well south and east of us. the fireworks tonight should be in good shape. the next 3 days, 92 this afternoon. tonight, upper 60s and low 70s. 90 on tuesday. a slight chance of showers. wednesday, 91. isolated thunderstorm chance. the heat is with us for the end of the week and weekendment thursday and friday, lower 90s. about the same over the weekend. slightly better chance of storms thursday and friday as opposed to the weekend. kris sneed is in for angie. >> yellow light, incidents to watch out for right now, especially in the district. live shot here. a downed tree on k. street and south capital. landed on a car here. crews have not cleaned it out of the road yet. if you're headed out to the area, watch out for that. moving to southeast d.c. rho

east of the santa clara valley are looking at storms. that's helping to drag this monsoon moisture up from the south. again a little bit muggy out there, that's the fuel for the isolated thundershowers that we could see east of gilroy, south of livermore, the diablo range i think tomorrow afternoon. overnight lows, mainly down in the 50s, you'll notice it's a touch muggy out there. you can feel the moisture a little more humid than normal. tomorrow's temperatures, i think a few degrees warmer than today. gilroy, 8 degrees, enjoy the festival. 79 san jose. a little closer to average, we're warming things up about 3 to 5 degrees inland. toward the coast, i think the clouds and fog will hang in most of the day. the sea breeze will be strong. crossing the bay in oakland. santa rosa, 80 degrees, 82 novado. here's the extended forecast. isolated showers, south and east of the bay area. we'll watch that situation very closely. just a ures will dipcc1: bit into the early part workweek, and studies we go, wednesday, thursday, friday, a touch below the average, but very summer like, nothing much to complain abo

us now is to use western technologies to regain our positions in third country markets such as south east asia africa and south america where the u.s.s.r. or russia traditionally have a strong position after all but let's face it we're not welcome in europe or in north america whatever new technologies we might have but fortunately social demand has changed a lot we're turning a number of steps aimed at popularizing space exploration and reviving public interest in it and i already isn't life values in russia have changed. i remember the baikonur launch site in soviet times everybody working there enjoyed first rate conditions and high salaries they had a car and you look think about the basic commodities deficit that the entire country was suffering from those employed in the space industry where the cost of the chosen ones today because it's different with a different profit focus therefore it's hard to work on populism and patriotism alone today society is more pragmatic i can see it even in my own kids our circle is completely blown us we've been talking about it since two thousand an

task now is to use western technologies to regain our positions in third country markets such as south east asia africa and south america where the soviet union and russia traditionally have strong positions after all let's face it we are not welcome in europe or in north america whatever new technologies we might have unfortunately a social don has changed a lot of we are planning a number of steps aimed at popularizing space exploration and revive the great public interest towards its priorities in life i'll use and russia have changed i remember the baikonur launch site in soviet times everybody working there enjoyed first rate supplies and high salaries at least everyone who served there had a car and you nothing about the deficit of basic commodities that the entire country was suffering from. those employed in the space industry where the cost of the chosen ones today has cost is different a different approach with area therefore it's hard to work out of populism and patriotism alone today's society is more pragmatic i can see it even on my own kids are third tasks to complete. the lo

radarwise, most of the activity is well south and east of us. we have showers moving towards pocomoke and ocean city getting doused with rain. back in this area, bottom line is temperatures are warm, upper 80s and 87 in easton and the rest of the evening, we'll fall into the 80s we'll stay warm and hazy. when may we see more showers and storms? we'll talk about that, coming up >>> you stand on a street corner and you see more people with phones up to their's. -- up to their ears. >>> well, verizon is getting rid of their 30-dollar unlimited plan. current customers get to keep the plan, but all customers are looking at data usage. it's the fastest growing use for cell phones. at&t and t-mobile got rid of their plans last year. this change only applies to new plans starting tomorrow. under the new data system, users can choose from three different programs. if you go over, you have to pay 10-dollars. for consumers who rely on their phones, it's a tough pill to swallow. know how much you use so you don't overpay. >> first of all, don't get a lot of

hot, humid air out of the south and east. dryer weather trying to edge in. e boundary will hang out tomorrow and storms tend to go just south of that boundary. that means tomorrow a lot of this may stay -- down in southern maryland and back through virginia. as we work into wednesday it does look like a better chance for more active weather around you're state. overnight tonight, 67 or so we stay cloudy, warm and humid. tomorrow 90 or so, mostly sunny, less humid through the day, not a bad which to head back to work, a good weather day. tomorrow night the humidity comes back and income tax few days we have the chances for on and off showers and storms, unsettled outlook but typical for first full week of july. nothing out of the ordinary. typical stuff, hot, stuckey, chance for storms. >> we want to get back downtown. the 4th of july supposed to be showing you fireworks and the flag, instead it's the yellow tape of violence. we are live downtown. start from the beginning, it started with the stabbing, right after the fireworks. >> reporter: yeah. all started
