it was common in these big eastern kentucky appellation families. reach was may be broader than a lot of people's grandparents were. she was the person made sure that i had a safe and stable home when my mom can provide it. she made sure ahead exposure to life lessons and people i needed to have exposure to so i didn't completely fall through the cracks. she had 19 handguns for today. she cussed up a storm, she was this a very powerful and perceptive figure and made sure that i had again, exposure to the things i needed to have exposure to so i can have a good life on about grandpa? she was grandma's husband and because of the drinking they are separated and it live in the same house, they never got divorced, they just and believe in it. so really, we just went through the revolving door of maternal partners. there was the one man in our life that we could depend on. when he died i stood up and said he was the best father anyone could ask for. for me and my sister he was the person who played that role in our lives. he fixed up a car or provided us

to him, it's all about creating change in eastern kentucky. >> even if all the coal jobs came back magicallye that we were dependent on a single industry. i mean, you know, this is great, but it's not something that we can continue to depend on because we've now seen how quickly this can go away. >> okay, so it sounds like a.r.c. initiatives like techie can help you, and we know president trump wants to help this region-- >> coal country, what they've done. we're going to take care of a lot of years of horrible abuse, okay? and you can count on it. >> so i'm sure trump also supports the a.r.c.'s efforts. >> among the things on the chopping block in trump's new budget, the appalachian regional commission or a.r.c. >> he wants to eliminate the a.r.c., which is vitally important to these small communities in appalachia. >> oh, never mind he doesn't give a (bleep). even though the a.r.c. has bipartisan support in congress and has helped create or retain over 100,000 jobs in the last five years, including the one held by alex. how do you personally feel about the a.r.c. being on the chopping bloc

for us, we have this cluster of showers in eastern kentucky, they are drifting northbound up into southernst virginia now. the air mass over us is relatively dry. so it will eat up most of those rain chances as they try to come in to the area. we'll be dry in the d.c. metro area for sure all the way through the daylight hours today. future weather, a gradual increase in cloud cover during the course of the afternoon today. again partly to mostly sunny for at least 3 2:00, 3:00. and then we go from partly to mostly cloudy. here is 8:00 tonight and it does hint that there could be a few isolated rain showers here primarily in the shenandoah valley and mountains of west virginia, that is 8:00 tonight. not much of a rain threat between now and then. temperature-wise, 50s and 60s again this morning. a very comfortable way to get the day started. date will be filled with sunshine for the first part again more cloud cover coming in after 4:00, 5:00. so if you headed to the nationals game, game four, we won two out of the first three, game four tonight against the marlins. perfect weather for base

most of these raindrops out here in eastern kentucky as they come farther and farther northbound into the dry air, most of those are going to get eaten up. but increase in the evening hours. and so 4 things to know, no complaints for today. you can complain about tomorrow and the weekend though as rain is looking quite likely for your friday night and potentially lingering into saturday morning. saturday will be ob on the wan d humid side. >> and not looking forward to the rain chances over the weekend. just pay attention to the nice weather today. but the rain chances do increase tomorrow. let's look at the temperatures this morning. 69 right now in washington, gait in the 50s. 59 degrees. if you are in manassas, 59. 61 in leesburg. 55 winchester, 64 in quantico, 63 in clinton. so feeling very nice this morning. we'll keep this same weather pattern in place through the afternoon that we saw yesterday, so we are talking about another very comfortable day. these numbers may even drop a co m sunrise, but then after that, we'll be very comfortable. low humidity through the afternoon, tem

the leading edge in eastern kentucky and northern north carolina so you will encounter some of those showers. it will be a drenching day in parts of the ohio valley and we will get some of that rain starting late tomorrow. i expect to see sunshine once we get on the other side of sunrise once the fog burns off. outside, the visibility is doing just fine in leesburg and d.c. with temperatures a bit on the mild side. manassas., 62 in we will have a very chilly start on friday. today, rain with increasing clouds. totals,talk about the probably an inch in some locations. more on how hard it will rain, coming up. julie: form a long row boulevard toward 50. barrels andwe have cones where we had the crash involving an overturned vehicle. heads up from rall boulevard onto 50. 50 is clear between the bay bridge and capital beltway. northbound 95 out of dale city , a 18pitz boulevard minute ride. eastbound 66 out of centreville, light traffic volume. ride from analysis headed eastbound toward 495. in the next 10 minutes i will update your commute out of germantown. larry: breaking right now in

way down to the south in eastern kentucky and west virginia, that is a warm fronts pushing through tomorrow evening and tomorrow night. tonight 65 and trenton 69 in allentown and low 60s reading and allentown and partly cloudy out there and tomorrow the dense fog advisory until 8:00 in the morning and could be patchy fog developing once again early tomorrow morning. 10:00 though future tracker showing a mixture of sun and clouds around and there is that warm front to the south trying to sneak its way in and doesn't approach until the late afternoon and evening hours. this is 5:00 when there could be scattered downpours or showers trying to pop with the introduction of the humid air. can't promise that the eagles game stays completely dry. more than likely dry but a shower or downpour. we look at the temperatures tomorrow. 80 for 11:00 and middle 80s in the afternoon and watch the chance for the stray storm to develop. everyone is talking about the partial solar eclipse for next monday. a reminder time wise the eclipse begins when the moon passes between the earth season sun at 1:20 in the a

shows broken showers in the southern part of pennsylvania working their way to west virginia and eastern kentucky and this is humid air arriving tonight and be with us through most of the upcoming weekend. for the evening planner here, if you see toby keith at musikfest at 7:00, 80 degrees at 7:00 there, and bethlehem 9:00, 5-and warmer than the last few evenings, 71 degrees. as we look at the forecast a lot of clouds around tomorrow and a wet start to the upcoming weekend and then brian it turns much nicer as we salvage the second half of the weekend. we talk about the numbers and the timing of that rain coming up in the full accuweather forecast. >> we'll salvage our sunday. >> four people escaped a burning home in trenton, new jersey, this is walnut avenue at 8:00 this morning, the flames quickly spread and destroyed the home and the firefighter was put on a stretcher after suffering heat exhaustion but she is expected to be okay. >>> now a check of the roads. >> matt pellman with the report on a thursday afternoon. >> we are making you are way toward friday but slowly. southbound is shocking

back into west virginia and eastern kentucky and the thinking is that some of this will get into somesuburbs. so if you're a viewer out to the west particularly in the mountains, places like winchester and front royal, martinsburg up towards hagerstown you've got the best chance of a few light showers this afternoon. and it it's certainly a possibility some of these could creep east and have a stray shower around here later today. just keep that in in mine. not wash out but a few showers around later today. all right. the culprit it's the frontal system that actually brought us the nice conditions yesterday. it's hung up down in the carolinas. and we're watching a little piece of energy along it and some shower activity that's kind of combining with winds here out of the east with an area of high pressure off to our north and east. so that's the reason for the cloud cover increase in moisture around here later today. low 80s for daytime highs. all right. tropics gert now our latest tropical storm 45 miles an hour winds going to scoot between bermuda and eastern seaboard. will not make

cloud cover on the increase and there'sou back into west virginia and eastern kentucky and i think mostins and out to the west. but we can see a stray shower around here this afternoon mostly cloudy skies. and temperatures topping out in the mid 80s here. again more humidity than yesterday. so it won't be a perfect day but just another kind of typical august afternoon. all right. 90s on the seven day. vile those coming up. erin has another round of roads. >> that i do it's 8:37 right n now. >> bless you. >> bless you wisdom martin. right now taking look at drive times in virginia. worst of it right now just 34 minute drip from prince george's william to the beltway on 66. heavy traffic on the inner loop right there slowing things down. in maryland, we're looking pretty good 270 southbound. light delays right now outer loop 95 to the 270 spur through college park. 95 still in great shape. let me point out the baltimore washington parkway by powder mill road in both directions has significant volume. right now big problems in northeast section of the district. inbound new york avenue ther

very heavy downpours and some nearly -- storms moving through eastern kentucky, those are on track for us later this afternoon. and this evening. the rain moves in this morning. at noon time, lunch time view, rain for wilmington, philadelphia, and trenton, heavy downpours as we go into the afternoon. and during the late afternoon hours, a chance we'll see some thunderstorms develop in south jersey, central and southern delaware and that will bring with it the chance of damaging winds with strong storms there. 7:00 this evening, still a few showers in philadelphia, then they'll finally clear out overnight tonight. by then, more than 2 inches of rain for parts of the area, swedesboro, voorhees, two inches in wilmington. an inch and a half for philadelphia and jersey shore. a first alert for heavy rain and the potential flooding for philadelphia, the suburbs, new jersey and delaware until midnight tonight. periods of steady rain that will be heavy at times will bring flood threat and flash flood threat to the area. tomorrow will be drying out, the rain ends overnight, clouds thinning out

in the rust belt in poverty-stricken areas and rural areas primarily zero ohio, kentucky and west virginia, virginia eastern tennessee and western pennsylvania. that would be like ground zero if you like and yes i think those were areas that were ripe for this. there were a lot of places where doctors found solutions not just to people's physical pain but their economic pain as well. doctors were the people he had to go to if you wanted to give workers comp or ssdi, supplemental disability insurance. ssi is another one that you needed a doctor to sign off on and these were areas where the doctors were acutely aware of the pain and suffering physically but as well economically. i think i was one of the reasons why pharmaceutical companies went to those areas. first because they promoted in those areas and they saw doctors robert e-prescribing a lot of pills and already amenable to this approach. they were acutely aware of how bad things were in this area. i would say however it's important to understand today that that's not always the case. mostly i would say it's in well-to-do suburbs where you're finding

we have flash flood warnings in parts of eastern texas, parts of louisiana, watches extend over into the panhandle of florida and up into kentucky. we're looking at an additional perhaps five to seven inches of rain, especially the farther north you go. we're going to start to see the rain taper off in louisiana as we go into tomorrow, but we could see the flooding in western tennessee with five to seven, eight inches of rain possible. here is tropical storm irma. now, it is still very early to determine if it will have any impacts on the united states, but it's forecast to strengthen into a category 2 hurricane by the weekend, so that's why it is certainly worth watching. >> prime time for hurricanes. all right. thank you. in the wake of this storm hitting right at the heart of america's oil and gas refineries force the to temporarily shut down. gas prices are lr on the rise, up to 20 to 40 cents a gallon in the midwest. and in flar as well. the national average is also on the rise, up 2 cents today according to the analysts at gas buddy and prices are expected to continue to jump throughout the weekend. meantime, president tru

eastern half of the country really exploding here. the heaviest rainfall here is beginning to line up across western kentucky, western tennessee.y activities. all we're looking at is very heavy rain. it has a history of dropping heavy rain. here's a look at the last 48 hours and you are looking at portions of missouri getting up to 6 to 8 inches. this is packing a heavy punch as far as rainfall totals are concerned and that's what we continue to be concerned about. when you say a severe threat in the over night hours, yes, we could see some wind damage. the biggest threat here is so much moisture. we'll continue to talk about at least a chance for flooding here into the overnight. here's the radar. i will step out of your way, but watch this progress across kentucky, to the mountains and mid-atlantic. this is weakening as it moves that direction. we're still going to be talking about some very heavy rain in those spots. why is it moving the way it is? you can tell when you look at the country, there's a defined line here of warm air to the south, cool air to the north, some of the coolest air we've seen, as we're looking at fol

eastern texas. the real concern for us is what happens to moisture as you get into the weekend. track of the storm and moisture, even though it isn't a tropical system, moving into parts of kentucky by early saturday morning. that means that we will also be dealing with rain around here. there's a check of radar. you can see the rain on the texas coastline. we will be drying out. yesterday's rain is across eastern new england, moving away from us. future weather shows there's a chance for a few showers today, mainly in shenandoah valley, i-81 corridor. not a big rain, but a shower or two between 3:00 and 5:00. should dry up east of blue ridge. i don't think we need to worry about rain in and around the city for today. temperature wise, on the cool side. 63 in arlington. 57 in fort meade. planning the day, cloudy start today, afternoon clearing. afternoon temperatures today up near 79 degrees. tomorrow, also looks like a pleasant day, more than enough sunshine to get temperatures in the low to mid-80s on your thursday afternoon. planning out the weekend at the beaches, saturday is the day we have the biggest impact or rain chances from harvey. sunday should be improving weather pi

eastern texas but the rate has dropped. dryer air has moved in to the system. maybe isolated seven or eight inches into kentucky and further northward. anderson. >> so, for you the heat is in the next couple days, that's one of the biggest concerns. >> well, personally, anderson, until the water's dropped in the attics, this is a big concern and right now in the northern area we're seeing the over topping, it's 108 feet and over topped by a foot. that's why we have a problem of the flooding there. but the pressure's got to be so intense. let me show you a picture can back in 1953. it was all ranchland. so they developed the levies to help protect the flow in the buffalo bayou and for the most part what they've done is try to protect houston but all the rivers flow into this area so you have a build up of water that they have never seen before and you have all of this sprawl. 100 subdivisions have been evacuated and now the number of homes with three to five feet and climbing is over 4,000. so until the water goes down, we still could have a breach. the core of engineer says the barker is not over topping and th

eastern texas and parts after louisiana. the color of purple into white is the size of the state of kentucky. when most of this area has picked up a year's worth of rain in a couple days, getting ready for second landfall, we're about five to six hours away. we thought maybe it would be closer to the board of texas and louisiana. you can start to see the bands. we're about five or six hours away from a landfall in louisiana. the problem is beaumont. they have been hammered. beaumont home to over 100,000 people down toward port arthur looks like houston did saturday night. we know what happened come sunday. 15.5 inches today, on top of 16 they've already had. another six to eight tonight. we've got to get resources torres cues. lake charles, you missed out. the band stayed to your north and south. baton rouge, new orleans, you're in the clear. you got missed out, too. i know you were sandbagging in plaquemines parish. no need for that anymore. heavy rainfall in coastal florida, but the big concern is the spin and our landfall as it continues to rain don, on the same location. they had sunshine
