and tracy humphrey is in the weather center with a first look at our forecast. i think you said earlier, mother nature is a little confused, right? >> yes, i think there is a sense of humor. but for many of us who have been thinking what happened to summer, well, here it is. at least for a couple of days. this is what we're expecting today. plenty of sunshine along the coastline. and that is the place to be. and highs today along the coast, in the mid-70s. and let's talk about the records and we will be flirting with record high temperatures and san rafael's record at 98 degrees on today's date and 97 in san jose, and 92 in mountain view. and 92 in san francisco. and pretty close to san rafael, we're going to hit a 96. san jose, we're going to 97. so we could match that record. or beat it. and mountain view, we're forecasting about two degrees over. so it looks like some cities across the bay area could see new record high temperatures. coming up, not only do we have the 90s, we got triple digit highs expected across the bay area. and which cities may see 103 de

when you saw trooper humphrey pull up, were you thinking, thank goodness, this is going to be all rightod, i'll be safe because of so many people on the highway, you know, that are dangerous people. >> in terms of drivers, you mean? >> as far as, you know, people that would hurt you. >> yeah. so he pulls up and immediately when you pull up, what was the first thing that you noticed about that van? >> i noticed she was on the shoulder of the road and on the telephone. she looked pretty much distraught so i decided to pull up and check on her. she said her van was running a little hot. and i asked her if she had any passengers. she said she had these four small children with her. >> you initially said, you know, i'm all right, my mom is on the way. you didn't leave though. why not? >> just the fact that see that she's a female with four small children there stranded, she said it would be about an hour. i just didn't feel comfortable just -- it was the right thing to do, to stay there with her until somebody could arrive to provide her some more assistance. >> thankfully you were there bec

scott humphrey sent australia picture. by the way that's not a reel dog, don't worry. he has sandbags by his car port ready just in case and check out this back yard swimming pool scott now has. hopefully the waters have started to come down just a little bit. as always, we thank you for sending in your photos, if you have pictures you can send them to us 24 hours a day at pix at wmar.com. let's get to lie net charles with your first forecast. lynette, how is it. >> still looking not so good. finally we had a bit of a lull but now starting to pick back up and have heavy rain bands, yellows and reds so we're going to be in it as we go through the overnight hours, then it's going to start to move out of here but in the meantime we're watching the water, the flooding situation, and all is the wind gusts, 40 plus miles per hour, tornado watch until 7:00 p.m., we have a flash flood warning until 6:15:00 p.m., and then the rainfall up to 4 to 10". i think along the coast the bay area we're going to definitely be seeing those 10". let micheaux you what is going on as we check

express lanes from humphreys to springfield. no problems along 395 as well. back to you. >>> ashley, thank you. >> thanks very much. the world famous johns hopki medical center turned into a locked down crime scene when a gunman barricaded himself in a hospital room. paul partis shot a doctor who was caring for his mother. then he turned the gun on himself. hisrother says his sibling likely shot their mother because he thought she was suffering. megan joins us from arlington naked with more tis morning. good morning, megan. >> reporter: well, good morning, joe. this standoff began with the shooting of a doctor and ended when the gunman fatally shot his mother in the hospital bed and turned the gun on himself. today we're learning more about what may have i motivated 50-year-old paul partis to take some violent action. their 84-year-old mother had health problems. she recently had surgery and would probably never walk again. the brother believes partis thought their mother was suffering, didn't want to see her live like that, and when the doctor delivered badn

humphrey, a witness whose tendency to prevarication was almost pathological."adiction, leech's testimony was almost unique." "and stanley m. doyle, in one word: shabby." i enjoyed that. oh, yeah, and no evidence was found, so the department of labor gave up. oh, yeah, something else in '38. scrap iron, crude oil bound for japan: we refused to load it. we didn't like the way they were bombing those cities in china, and we figured it just might come back at us one day, see? same way as we refused to load some german ships because of hitler and some italian ships when mussolini invaded ethiopia. "an injury to one is an injury to all." [cheers and applause] and i'll tell you something else. interfere in the foreign policy of our country: sure as hell. that's our job. that's our right. that's our privilege. that's our duty. [cheers and applause] foreign policy is too damned important to be left to the striped-pants set in washington, d.c. [cheers and applause] mind you, speaking of the big boys, now they got involved. >> ♪ oh, oh, ooooh ♪ what congress done to me ♪

bobby kennedy and gene mcar think and everybody ran a pert and then ran an old warhorse like humphreysk you the republican party after the excitement of the tea party seen this year and going to next year, run an old warhorse like mitt romney or some old party guy when, in fact it is all about excitement and then they stifle it? will it work? they have to run a tea partier? >> they might have to run a tea partier. i mean if you look at what has happened with the tea party movement it is extraordinary. two years ago, no one paid attention to them. we looked at them as being people on the far right, on the fringe, very few stories about them in the news and now it is tea party candidate after tea party candidate. what happened in delaware last night was completely extraordinary and for "establishment republicans," as much as some people might want to ignore what is happening with tea party candidates, they don't have a choice but to listen to what constituents are telling them, constituents are -- some constituents are saying we value party, principle and freedom, ideological purity ove

joining me is don humphrey. is so disturbing because this was a plan by the obama administration that gave hope to so many homeowners out there, the value of their homes has decreased so much so the mortgage payments are actually worth less than the value of their home, therefore, this was supposed to bail the homeowners out so necessity didn't have to foreclosure. why is more than half the homeowners in this initiative have fallen out of the program? >> thanks for having me. i think there were a number of issues with the plan overall. the reason why they fell out, like i said, some of the issues with regards to documentation on income, when they first started the program. there was no requirement for income documentation and that really slowed down the process. there are acknowledge himself from some of the people that ran the program, like allison who was in charge of tarp that it was rushed out quicker than it should have been. >> julie: obama administration took a lot of credit of trying to help the homeowne

he said you are never going to get the past until hubert humphrey's get elected vice president and we're not taking away from speaker of the house. from a practical perspective, that is very difficult to do right now. i think the only way you get that done is if you can convince the speaker that the likelihood of this happening, and if you have good, healthy people such as the president and the vice president, maybe now is the time. you have a very prestigious group that comes up with something like this that can convince the speaker of the house, and it has to be an organization that is not only reputable nationwide, but i do not think the speaker goes to work every day and things, boy, if something happens, i will be president of the united states. i think she probably has the best job in town. i have observed that too great a link already, but if we look at the way this decision was made, when harry truman said, is someone is elected, we should not have someone appointing his successor. harry truman might not have been president if he had not been chosen by fdr to be his vice presiden
