temperatures, look at this. 27 in -- 27 in leesburg. it was -- 72 in leesburg.90s yesterday. 81 in fredricksburg and 68 in front royal. that is crazy. now, light showers this evening but heavier downpours are still possible 9:00 p.m. to about 2:00 a.m. as the warm front lifts northward. highs barely below 90 tomorrow and friday. i think we'll stay below 90 and it will indeed be a moral victory. bill's remnants could arrive on father's day. some have the bull's eye going north of us which would be fine for us. in any event, i think we'll have an increased chance of showers and storms for dads. got news, we drop temps a little bit on sunday. on the futurecast, 10:00 77 downtown. 74 manassas. 73 leesburg and 72 in gaithersburg. showers building off to the west. you see the showers roll through with some yellows and oranges. so we'll see heavy downpours i think especially d.c. north overnight tonight. by dawn, everything across the bay. temperatures in the upper 60s to around 70 with the sun on its way back out. some clouds will start the day on thursday. so 77 at 9

light rain at that leesburg, bluemont, winchester, showers coming through st. mary's, shenandoah county, fredericksburg, seeing shower activity, see rain this evening if you are heading out, take the umbrella. i think bell see shower activity coming through. here is the chance for severe weather also where we see the sunshine. 90 in fredericksburg, 90 toward richmond, and we have a couple of storms developing. now i am watching this area here. i do think we could still see some stronger storms in and around this region through the next couple of hours. so, if you live in fredericksburg, toward waldorf, maybe calvert county, st. mary's county, the area to watch the next few hours for some storms development, and i think they could develop the next hour or some all because of this area of low pressure moving our way. see the spin in the atmosphere any time you see that spin aloft, it helps provide that spin at the surface and yes think we could see those strong storms down to the south but you notice where that watch is, well down to the ut, norfolk row neck, the

temperature wise, 94 in d.c., and 91 in manassas and 90 in leesburg. and if you go outside, it feels like 100 in waldorf. we will come back and talk about the cold front ending up to the south of us, and that means cooler weather far for a few days and a look at dad's weekend. >> thank you, top. >>> four united states senators from our area blasted metro for the leadership and safety failures one day before the metro transit is scheduled to release a review. >> reporter: leslie, i will say that the senators had strong words for the state of the area's transit agency. 14 lawmakers eviscerated the current state of metro. >> we had a failure of leadership and a failure of execution on their very own safety protocol. >> reporter: the senators said metro urgently needs official staff, training, oversight, and new leadership, and they are critical of the agency's apparent inability to replace the general manager. >> he announced his retirement months ago, and it's been six months since he left office. >> our top priority will be the safety of those who use t

winchester west of frederick northwest of leesburg. we go through the nighttime, those showers will roll northward. i think we'll even have a better chance of showers overnight tomorrow. tonight no problems just skies becoming partly cloudy. comfortable. not as cool. 64 to 72 for lows. on the day planner we have 77 at 9:00. 82 by 11:00. perhaps a thunderstorm by 1:00 but i think that's mainly west of town. temps in the mid 80s. next three days isolated storms on wednesday. still okay, near 90. scattered storms on thursday. still 90. we'll monitor those days for yellow alerts. 86 on friday. nats back in town. 87 for the fourth. scattered showers and storms. 90 on sunday and 93 with scattered storms on monday. >>> a local athlete is back after 2600 miles worth of biking. >> the reason for the ride helping a neighbor. we're going to have that story up next on >>> a local endurance athlete is being celebrated tonight. >> he biked 2600 miles across the country in a grueling race across america competition. the race is 12 days long, runs fro

it feels more like 103 in washington, 100 in leesburg and 100 in easton and fred rig.utside -- frederick. outside you see a little haze in the area. officially 91 at reagan national. dew points in the mid-70s. that's why it's so oppressive. watch this number because it's going to drop tomorrow once a front passes. it will feel a lot more comfortable and cooler. for the afternoon mid- to upper 90s for highs. storms will be here mid- to late afternoon. temperatures drop into the 80s here and by the time we get toward the evening hours, we'll dry out some. by midnight 79. looking at 60s to low 70s with less humidity by tomorrow morning. so the heat is in place. here comes the front. going to stop the clock at 3:30. you'll notice getting in toward frederick, upper montgomery, western loudoun. this will be approaching us 4:00, 5:00, 6:00 right for the heart of the rush hour. that's idea yellow alert in effect. this is the concern you could have a long commute home. by 6:30 now it's over toward easton and southern maryland approaching areas south of fredricksburg with the we

hits 92. 89 in leesburg. 88 for those you have in luray. and dealing with potentially a shower during the morning hours. mainly in areas like gaithersburg olney, frederick urbana leesburg, hagerstown and martinsburg. i think the district in areas to the south will remain dry. not the case though, necessarily, as we get into the afternoon and evening hours. so i want to time it out with huge weather. new, we're still mainly dry. 2:00, 3:00 p.m. that's when we can start to see showers and thunderstorms bubble up. you're trying to figure out maybe playground park time or pool time. the earlier you go the better. the later we get into the day, the better the likelihood that you're dealing with some of that thunderstorm activity. notice future weather is pretty anemic with what it's putting out here right now. about a 40% chance that you are dealing with some rain tomorrow. but it only takes one to two storms to be very strong. and that's in fact what we saw this evening. so a similar situation for tomorrow. the biggest concern again works be so

notice 75 in leesburg. 72 in gaithersburg. but here is the number i really like. 68 in cumberland. that's the cool air that is going to make its way down by early tomorrow morning. most of you will be in the low to mid-60s. you will notice a big change when you walk out the door tomorrow morning. storm team 4 radar showing all clear for the most part. a few showers around charlottesville. that's about it. those coming with a cold front that front, you can see it clearly defined here. look at the clearing behind the front. that's the cool air that will continue to sink on down across our region. we'll see that tonight and into early tomorrow. a very nice wednesday, at least early. but we will see more clouds coming in. i want to show you this. this is tropical storm bill making its way just out of houston in towards dallas. flooding a major threat here. and notice once again the train of moisture all the way around this area. high pressure right over to us that will eventually bring bill our way this weekend. now, it will no longer be tropical, but it will bring us some showers and

and for leesburg. just a scorcher. the record today is 95. i think tying that is within the realm of possibilities. only 96 for baltimore and also for dulles. talk about the weekend forecast and hey how about the rain to cool you off? that's all coming up later. >>> one person is dead and one is behind bars and another one is on the run after an accident late last night. nikki burdine has been on the scene all morning long and now has the latest on the investigation. >> reporter: the scene at suitland parkway and first steriling is now clear but the -- sterling is now clear but the investigation is far if over. a man -- from over. a man was speeding when he t- boned a chrysler, both the driver and passenger in the chrysler were taken to the hospital. the driver will be okay but the passenger didn't make it. meanwhile police say the driver of the vol toe and the passenger -- vol toe and the passenger both -- volvo and the passenger both ran away. a third person in the volvo was taken to the hospital. to this point it's not cooperating with pol

look at the numbers. 75 in leesburg. 79 in fredericksburg. 71 towards huntingdon.ittle warm and humid. going to be a little tag overnight tonight. this is what i'm talking about. look at all that lightning just north and east of annapolis. it's moving out of our region. but once again, all of that lightning still visible, especially into prince george's county, anne arundel county, calvert county. a lot of you asking what that is. not heat lightning. heat lightning does not exist. it is lightning from a distant storm, and there is that storm. the rest of the area is dry, for now. but we're not done just yet. get ready. this is what i'm look at now. this line of showers and thunderstorms. and this line has a lot of thunder and lightning associated with it too. also, some very heavy rain. this is going to make its way through the area between 1:00 and 3:00 in the morning. do not be surprised if you're woken up by this. going to see some very heavy rain. i do not expect anything too heavy and nothing too severe. 12:30, about an hour and a half away, could see some sho

under some partly cloudy skies. 36 leesburg and 67 annapolis and 67 down towards the pawtuxet river. we do have a couple of showers, nothing in and around the d.c. area and back to the west and shenandoah valley and towards virginia, will continue to move south and east. showers are continuing to die as they move on down to the south and east. you can actually see them. back towards the west there was thunderstorm activity earlier and they are drifting right on down to the south. it's with a little boundary that will move through overnight and that continues to give us rather warm air and we could see fog early tomorrow morning so know that. here's saturday at 8:00 a.m. notice some clouds and fog during the early morning hours. that should burn off and then we'll see some sun in the afternoon. the more sunny with get the better chance we have for a couple of isolated showers, maybe a rumble of thunder but notice the coverage here very scattered, if that. i think just isolated. could be a little bit more towards the bay and southern maryland tomorrow afternoon. i think this is a littl

. >> vows to rebuild after a fire rips through an historic building in downtown leesburg.uses jewelers and apartments on second and third stories. that store has been there since the 1950s. the fire started saturday night. spreading to a second alarm. fortunately no one was seriously hurt. some pets did die in that fire. this happened as people were out enjoying a classic car show. leesburg's may your says they saw flames shooting out of a second floor apartment. >> so we had multiple business, men and women, in the back. in the alley, parking garage. watching in horror as that second story just went up in a conflagration. >> fire did $500,000 worth of damage. a little boy is in the hospital tonight. recovering from a shark attack. cocoa beach, florida say one of the worst shark attacks in years. the 11-year-old weighed in waist deep water. a bull shark came in on a huge wave, biting the boy in his calf. lifeguard pulled him out. the boy was air lifted to a hospital in orlando. the fire department describes his injuries as significant. >> man of you will notice a change wh

by 6:00 it's toasty, 87 downtown and 86 in leesburg and manassas which is why we say don't exercise in the evening because it does not cool off and the air quality is worse. we'll advance into the future now. thursday, okay, 4:00 it's 95. there's a couple of patches of green, just a couple isolated showers. that's our only relief starting thursday through the weekend. i'm going to advance this again. by 10:00 thursday it's going to be 84, another reason why we say exercise in the morning. it just stays too hot too long in the evening nighttime hours. in the day planner 70 to start, 75 at 9:00, 81 by 11:00, 84 with pure sunshine at 1:00. thursday here we go, heat, low 90s, isolated storm, friday, low 90s, isolated storm. next seven days 94 saturday, just an isolated storm and our streak continues, a little dip. things go back to the low 90s sunday and low to mid-90s monday and tuesday next week and just tell you this. looking ahead to some other models, i see it probably in the 90s through next week. >> okay. >> it's only june. >>> nationals still struggling? >> they were really hoping

by 9:00 it's 80 in leesburg, 81 in winchester and downtown. by 1 p.m. we're almost near 90, a couple showers beginning to break out west of i-81 and that's going to be the best chance of showers. i think these temps are a bit behind. i think they'll be 90, 91 by 1:00. by 5:30 a couple showers pop up. again i wouldn't get too hung up on exact location. some are west, southwest, some are northeast and southeast. again, you have an isolated shower chance, that's it, not enough to change plans, temps still around 90. by midnight, 1 a.m. saturday morning 90 downtown. so even if the cold front gets through us, it's not going to offer much relief. it could get through south of us on sunday, but i don't think it will. day planner 81 by 9:00, nighttime 1 by 1 p.m. saturday hot, scattered storms, a better chance of storms on saturday, 92 and 93 sunday with the front just barely north of us. could be a case we're in the 90s and baltimore is in the 80s. next seven days monday still looking at some heat back in the mid-90s, low 90s on tuesday, maybe wednesday below
