But fans can expect to see more than new players at the park two weeks from today. Rebecca cooper is live at nats park with a look at one new feature required for anybody wanting to get inside there. Rebecca . Rebecca well leon you and alison know its always worth it for a good game but youll have to plan more time to get inside nationals stadium. Not just traffic. Not just parking. But now these, youre going to have to get through metal detectors. The message today from Nationals Park plan for some good baseball this season but also plan to come even earlier. Every fan in the nation wanting to come inside the bought park is now required by Major League Baseball to pass through mangnometers. People have busy schedules but we want to encourage people to get here early. Rebecca todays demonstration came courtesy of Washington Nationals interns. Ballparks know better than expect fans to be this orderly. They want anyone to come to games to come as early as 2 1 2 hour gate opening or at least an hour before opening pitch. To get through the magnameters theres a list of allowed items and items not allowed. A bag this size has to fit inside the blue box and you cant bring in any liquids except for a one liter water bottle or an empty cup. Weapons are also still on the banned list, of course. Officials say that includes obvious items like guns. But also items like full sized baseball bats and scissors. No one knows exactly what the final price tag will be for all of this security. Since it was a rush to simply get it done before opening day. We started this project immediately after after the winter classic ended and literally, the concrete is still drawing in some locations. Rebecca nationals Officials Say they will not be passing along the cost of these mlb required metal detectors to the fans but, of course, if you get to the ballpark early that gives you all the more time to shop and spend money. Reporting live from nationals stadium, rebecca cooper, abc 7 news. Leon nfl owners voted to end the practice of blacking out broadcasts for some games today. But only temporarily. The league is suspending the policy for one year and theyre doing this as an experiment. Traditionally, fans couldnt watch games in cities where teams didnt sell a certain number of tickets but teams sold that minimum number for every game last year and all but two games the year before. So well see how things play out this year. Alison ok, it looks like baseball weather when you look outside. It has got a chill in the air today. Doug the way it looks in a general outlook for opening week in early april is the eastern third of the country is going to stay northeast part of the country will stay cooler than average and the southeast will be pretty much what it is and yet, you know, out past ohio kentucky and indiana, the rest of the country will be above average temperatures. Well feel the warmth of spring and summer. Leon eventually. Doug one day preview coming thursday. This is from woodbridge in Prince William county during t day. Beautiful sunrise and few clouds and they pushed off to the south and east during the day. Clear across the area and well look to the west for the next batch of clouds to move in tonight ahead of a little weather disturbance. 44 degrees right now in brooklyn spring West Virginia. 43 in barnsville. 48 degrees at Nationals Park. We just heard from rebecca there. Lows this morning in the 20s and 30s. So a chilly morning and chilly night tonight. Well get down to the upper 20s to low 30s. At the moment, we stay close to 50 in the area. 50 officially at Reagan National and eight degrees below the normal High Temperature for this date. Sky will give away to the clouds and some snow showers, passing flurries are all possible across the area through 9 00 10 00 in the morning. I think any moisture thats still left from this disturbance will come as a sprinkle or shower. Warm air will win the day. It will be for one day but already starting a little sign of it. 70 degrees in knoxville. 69 in bristol, kentucky and tennessee right now and all that is going to move through our area on thursday. So we got a couple of changes first. This little upper air disturbance bringing the clouds possible with snow flurries and snow showers. That will get out the door and some of this warmer air will start to push northward. Leading edge of the warm front, 34 in indianapolis and 73 in nashville. Big difference in the air masses there. So the warm front ahead of this all will move in our direction and bring showers here wednesday and then the doors will open to increasing southwesterly winds and beneficiaries will see temperatures in the 70s but its a one day deal for thursday. Its looking good. Futurecast gives High Pressure tomorrow moving overhead. Warm front will get closer and bring clouds back in by wednesday evening and a couple of passing showers as we get through wednesday and then ahead of this cold front, well have this window on thursday window of opportunity to push temperatures into the lower 70s and the front actually passes we got the possibility of showers and maybe even a spring thunderstorm as we get through the day on thursday. So lots of things to watch this week. But in general terms its going to stay cooler than average. This little map here is an accumulated computer prediction of what the maximum snowfall may be from this little disturbance. Generally, the most for the district area may be a 10th of an most. Only place well get anything of measure is the highest elevations of the mountains. Heres a quick look at the forecast, flurries. Skies will brighten to 47 with afternoon sunshine and then as we head through the next seven days, 30 chance of rain. Increasing late in the day with a warm front and then partly sunny. Warmer weather, lower 70s with a 72 degree High Temperature. That chance of afternoon showers and thunder clearing for friday and the weekend. But remaining cooler than many would like. Leon not all.

Leon the women were lured from the Ballston Commons mall in arlington to burke. Jennifer donelan is live in burke with the latest on the investigation. Jennifer . Jennifer this is an absolutely gorgeous neighborhood here in burke, virginia. Hard for residents here to imagine the allegations that now stand against at least one couple in one of the homes behind me. And that is that two International Students were raped inside one of these houses. Lets get to some video. According to Fairfax County police and a search warrant, this began on march 8th. They went to the mall in search of jobs and thats where they reported they met another woman from mongolia who said hey, i know i have a House Cleaning job in burke, virginia. The two young women ages 20 and 31 were brought back here to this neighborhood in burke, virginia and thats where Police Believe they were drugged and sexually assaulted. The big concern for police is theres information that there may be other victims, victims who may be afraid to come forward. They may have had negative experiences with Law Enforcement in their home countries and may be frightened perhaps they have citizenship concerns and so theyre afraid to call police. So there very well could be other victims involved in a case like this and our detective wants to hear from them, if so. Jennifer and Fairfax County police stressing at this hour that any victim who wants to come forward and tell their story, to please do so. Free from any harm that the police want to hear what happened to them as they pursue this very active investigation. Reporting live from burke, im jennifer donelan, abc 7 news. Leon thanks jen.

Supreme court refused to hear a challenge to the wisconsin i. D. Law. That means voters will have to show voter i. D. To cast the ballot. Law will likely go into effect after local elections next month. Supporters of the law says it prevents voter fraud. They say it disenfranchises minorities, the elderly and college students. The Supreme Court heard argument abouts allowing the Confederate Flag on the texas license plates. Issue is whether the government drivers controls the government or drivers control the messages on those plates. We would like to honor our ancestors the same as Vietnam Veterans are honored with texas plates korean war vets, iraqi freedom. Alison the state says the issue is not the confederacy but the confederate battle flag. Texas has a holiday called confederate heroes day. The state, though denying the plates are not a violation of free speech since it considers them government speech. Nine other states allow the flag on license plates including maryland and virginia. But those are both as a result of court orders. The Supreme Court is expected to hand down its ruling this summer. Leon time for a check of the traffic situation.

So during the popes visit to naples this week end, the owner decided to makes a pizza pie and hand deliver it to a pope in the popemobile. Its hard to understand what i managed to do its very emotional. Its really hard for me to express the value of this gesture for a man we really love and value for a beautiful person full of humanity.

More cloud cover late tonight in advance of a storm system. 4 45 in gaithersburg and a chilly afternoon and tonight, well average a low of 32 degrees with increasing cloudiness and the chance of a few snow flurries by the Early Morning hours. A couple of areas might see a brief snow shower or two. No expectation of any impact in the area. If theres anything that will be measured, you have to travel into the mountains well west and northwest of the metro area. Before this system made its move into the ohio valley it was in the northwest or the midwest, upper midwest especially this morning and dumped a whole lot more than flurries. We know because Eileen Whelan is outside of our studios in rosslyn to tell us what happened earlier. Eileen . Eileen i know. Fortunately this is not what well be wabking up to tomorrow. This is video from the upper midwest. Minnesota, iowa wisconsin, they got up to five to 10 inches of snow. That system is heading in our direction. Big question is how much snow will we get .

Tim we have 11 teams left in the sweet 16 oh, my goodness. Leon im dancing tim there was a lot of talk today about the terps who lost last night. To be brutally honest West Virginia was a tough matchup for maryland from the get go. The terrapins arent a physical team. They struggled getting rebounds all year. And when you turn it over 23 times, you have no shot but you cant question their hearts. Or the success that they had this season. When none of the socalled experts thought it was possible. Dez wells had nine points and eight turnovers. Worse game of the year. The mountaineers decided to beat up melo trimble. But West Virginia was the better team last night. No question about it. And now the terps have all their memories. Unbelievable year. And you know its i just wanted to thank them for giving me a great ride this year. And a year ago today, i wasnt in a very good place.
