allyson. >> so right now we're just dealing with some showers. it's later on this afternoon and into the evening, some of these showers could start to develop and become even stronger into thunderstorms with pretty heavy rain associated with them. so right now just a few light showers along 95. these are just sprinkles if you will. taking the wider view, what we're going to be tracking is coming in from the west, from west virginia. it's going to slowly move on in here. during the afternoon and right through the evening, yellow weather alert not only because this is going interrupt your evening plans but also these are going to be pretty good storms with some soakers associated with them. time frame right now, we're watching these showers hang around. these storms will slowly develop through the afternoon when we start to heat up a little bit more. the critical time here is going to be 3 to 9:00. that's when the storms will be at their strongest, especially west of 95 kind of right in between 81 and 95. then after 9 the storms will still be there

and we will check on the sick times as well, but first thing, let's check on the temperatures with allysoneporter: yesterday a lot of places in the 80s, but we ended up reaching 91. the heat wave continues. today, clouds will move in, mostly cloudy and mostly dry. the humidity is dropping a little the bit into the 60s. 73 right now. still warm, and don't need the jacket today. most areas, you can leave the umbrella at home today. showers on the map each day until about wednesday next week, and that does not mean it will rain in your neighborhood each day. in fact, today, most areas will be remaining drive. first alert live doppler, no problems weatherwise. you get on the road, and we will see dry conditions. if you see rain yesterday, those areas could see the patchy fog this 71 for germantown. 66 in damascus. we have few stray showers, and i will track them on futurecast later. >>> larry is in for ellen this morning. good morning! >> good morning. relatively quiet for the most part, and issue and problem free all around town. i don't think any issues on the beltway or 270 in either direct

"just out. the obama administration knew far in advance of november 8th about russia meddling and did nothing about it. why? but what has the president done since he's been in the office in the last five months? "the trump administration has taken little meaningful action to prevent russian hacking, leaking and disruption in the next national election 2018 des

allyson's forecast reminds me of a song, i'll start singing it. >> that's good to know.you about information in the world of education. harvard says no to at least ten students they had previously accepted. it happened because of some offensive posts on facebook. about 100 newly accepted students were connected through a private chat group that was meant to help the students of the class of 2021 get to know each other a little better before the start of fall semester. the group splintered off into a smaller subset. they began posting racially offensive and vulgar memes. school officials revoked acceptance letters for all parties involved. this is a huge wake-up call. you cannot post anything and everything that comes across your mind on social media, and you know, these kids, i really feel like, hmm, you know, maturity haso
