morning we've ever seen. let's take a look. i want to show you the weather headlines for today and for the rest of this week as we do get off to appear unetteeled start for the beginning part of the week. more storms are possible this afternoon, some thunderstorms across the area. some of them could contain gusty winds and hail although the likelihood of severe weather is not particularly great. unsettled weather last into his tomorrow at least the first half of tomorrow the way things are shaping up. we will continue to see some clouds an some rain showers across the area. for the middle part of this week, sunshine does return and then by the end of the week, it will certainly be warmer with temperatures back into the 70s for thursday and friday. well into the 70s on friday the way things are looking on friday right now. let's show you hd radar across the region. here is what we're looking at to our north, rain showers and including some areas of heavy rain today north and west of baltimore just outside of 695. close to here, not much is happening. the closest rainfall just to our north up near # 70 across 07 as well from baltimore out towards frederick, some heavy rainfall there too. now, let's take a look at the current temperatures around the region. what we are seeing is with that satellite-radar, first of all, we've got some precipitation coming through the region. most of that is to the north and west. couple of spots showing up north to the south and west so we'll keep our eyes on that as we continue to look at the radar images. temperatures across the region, 54 degrees in washington. 54 in annapolis. gaithersburg is at 50. quantico is at 5 # at this hour. as we take a look at the surface map, it is a rather complex weather system moving across here during the course of the day today. the main thing you need to know is this area of low pressure will be tracking to the east and as that does, it could trigger some showers and thunderstorms across portions of our area. again, i think the best chance for that is to the north and west but certainly even across the washington area we could see some showers and maybe a thunderstorm or two. forecast if today, showers possible this morning. we are see something of those now. some thunderstorms possible this afternoon. high, 70 degrees is that you are our average high for the day. five-day forecast, again, tomorrow, a few showers possible particularly in the first half of date. high in the mid-60s. sunshine returns wednesday, mid- 60s. thursday look fob a great day. sunshine and 70. friday, warmer, mostly subby skies. 75degrees for your high. now, let's get an update on traffic. charlie maxx is in for julie wright. >> good morning. i have good news. we had an earlier accident over the infound 14th street bridge that was causing a whole bunch of delays. the good news is just getting word the accident has been cleared and the damage is done. this is northbound coming past the pentagon. look at the volume because of the early early accident that was inbound over the 14th street bridge. you will hit this before approaching the pentagon and you will continue with this delay up and over the 14th street bridge this morning. so certainly allow extra time now that the accident has been cleared. hopefully, this will aleft yait the problem some but once that ball is set in motion, it is not quick to be cleared. this is the southbound traffic. a little bit of the wet roadways contributing to the traffic. some of it just volume. you will continue with this down to montgomery village avenue where it opens up a little bit. on the outer loop of the beltway in college park near route 4, we did haven't aan accident with injury. also an accident where southbound 95 meets the beltway in college park. very busy. getting a report of boxes in the roadway on the roadway in greenbelt. just be very cautious around that strep of the beltway this morning. that's a check of your fox 5 on-time traffic. >> a traffic alert for you. if your travel take you near the wilson bridge, tonight through friday morning, you can expect some extra delays around the beltway and telegraph road as crews are doing demolition and paving work that will require lane and ramp closures. that includes some work in the middle of the day between 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. for a complete list of the work and time, go to myfoxdc.com and look under web links somentd a week of earth day celebrations and education goes out in style down on the mall. thousands showed up for sunday's climate rally and concert. they say the movement seems to be headed in a new direction. >> i am seeing more of a civic focus this year and the last couple of years than i've ever felt. people first do something about themselves, something in their community an eventually, they will expect their leaders to step up to the plate. >> long-time activists are encouraging people to harness their raw power, use that power at the ballot box. sounds like something right out of a sci-fi movie. steven hawking is warning about making contact with aliens. he says it is perfectly rational to assume there is intelligent life elsewhere. he adds that the aliens might raid the earth for resources and then move on. he compared it to when columbus landed in america which he says, quote, didn't turn out so well for native americans. business bet -- beat is up next. these are culled silly bands an apparently stores are having a tough time keeping them in stock. some parents are signing up for waiting lists so the kids can get their hands on this must- have accessory. >> tony, why didn't you come up with this. >> i wish. >> i wish you did too. we didn't think dog food... could make that big of a difference, but it really has. we thought, oh, goldie, you're getting older, and she started eating the purina one... and people would say, "what did you do to her?" [ announcer ] purina one for seniors unlocks the brilliance of nature. [ kristen ] it's a great feeling having a beautiful, happy dog. it makes you feel like you've done something good for your pet. [ announcer ] it's amazing what one can do. now, reformulated with... enhanced botanical oils... that naturally nourish... to help sustain a bright mind. adam shapiro joins us with our business beat. let me get this straight. we're going to hear congress weighing in and futures are up this morning? >> yes, futures are up this morning but that has to do with all kinds of issues going on overseas. the euro is falling, greek debt is rising despite the bailout package. that is why futures are going up. but we'll get the key vote later today in the senate and if it passes, we will get eventually some bill from the senate regarding financial regulatory reform. at the center of all of this is going to be that nasty d word, devivtives and whether banks should be allowed to continue to trade in derivatives or if they will have to spin off into separate, independent companies so that taxpayer dollars are not used to shore up the kinds of risky investments. >> reporter: with the derivatives, goldman sachs doing a brety good job of hedging their losses. >> we saw the e-mail between goldman sachs executives and we are learn bath deal they had with different banks which were writing horrible mortgages. goldman was making a lot of money. talking about the fact they were losing in these e-mails some money because they were long on mortgage-backed securities but making far greater amounts of money because they were shorting their mortgage-backed securities and at the end of the day, they were make august lot of money. that is what a derivative is. it is a way to short your other asset in case should blow up. >> was goldman sachs the only ones doing this? >> absolutely, positively, no frickin way. they all did it. it was one huge party and gurvir provided the booze. >> we'll see what happens today. we'll see you again. still ahead, cut out that trip to the dmv. trim the time you are stuck in traffic running errands. we'll show you some new ways to take some of that stress out of your way. a controversial move out west to crack down on illegal immigration and it is sparking renewed debate across the country with some pretty big names joining the fight.  back at 6:30 now on a monday morning. temperatures not bad out there. might be a li>> temperatures in the humidity level is roughly around 85% so it is high. so that is why we're seeing some of that mist and haze out there this morning. that is why it is a little bit muggy when you step out the door. we will see changes in our forecast for today. won't be as warm as it was yesterday but we could see more rain showers. current temperatures around the region, right now at reagan national airport, we are at 54 degrees. 50 in gaithersburg. frederick, maryland is at 52 degrees. down to our south, culpeper is at 54. fredericksburg, 59 degrees at this hour. as you take a look at the big picture, the situation is setting up similar to how it set up yesterday. cooler air to the north. new york city not showing a temperature there but i can tell you it is in the mid-40s in new york. and then warmer air to our south, 60 degrees in raleigh. so we're right in between there. that is where we'll see some showers an thunderstorms pop up in the latter part of the day today. here is your satellite-radar. yesterday, man, look at all the areas of yellow, orange, red and even purple as some severe storms developed across portions of the mid-atlantic. here in washington, officially at reagan national, just about a tenth of an inch of rain, they had an inch of precipitation an hail to our north yesterday with some of those storms that came through. we are see eggcuple of scattered showers to our north, to our west and now to the southwest as well. here is your day planner for today. chance some of showers, some thunderstorms in the afternoon. cloudy today. highs around 70 degrees for your high. that is a look at your weather. today's ask the weather guys question is coming up it is a seemingly simple question. the question is when a weather forecaster says there is a 60% chance of rain, what does that mean? the answer is much more complicated than you would think. we will clear it up for you. >> thank you, tony. let's check in with charlie maxx. hopefully a simple day on the roads but that bridge isn't looking so good down there in d.c. >> you have a 100% chance of sitting in the delay traveling on the inbound 14th street bridge. looking northbound, 395, the accident is gone. still very heavy delays making your way inbound. even though this looks real jammed up, much better than we were seeing so hopefully now that the accident is gone, we'll see some improvement in this area. now, if you are traveling in maryland, we'll take you live to the beltway in college park. the stent is off onto the shoulder so you are in good shape here. we do have a second accident southbound 95 as you make your way onto the beltway there. also keep approximate mind, in anne arundel county this more than, general highway at cortland manor road, we have police blocking off the roadway because of an overnight accident andouille tilt work. that's a check of your fox 5 on-time traffic. -- and utility work. that's a check of your fox 5 on-time traffic. the death toll from twisters is 12. as mary ann rafferty reports, the strongest tornadoes left a 50-mile wide path of destruction. >> reporter: 160-mile per hour winds ripped buildings apart through two counties. two days later, residents are still in shock. thousands have no electricity while others are no homes. red cross tents are set one hundreds of volunteers passing out food. >> we are expecting that to triple today to serve somewhere between 1500 to 2,000 people today with meals, water, ice an different necessities that they need. >> reporter: national weather service crews are still trying to figure out exactly how big the mississippi tornado was and how far it went. that may take a couple of days in louisiana, governor bobby jindal declared a state of emergency where a tornado leveled homes, knocked town power lines. >> within probably 0 seconds, it was over. my ears popped. i looked out once. no one was hurt there. >> reporter: it is ununclear whether it was a tornado or just strong winds. the other big story we're following, thousands of demonstrators rallying out in arizona. >> they are row testing a tough new immigration law some say would lead to harrassment of anybody who looks hispanic. sherry ly has more. >> reporter: good morning. instead of dying down, the protests against this new immigration law in arizona seem to be heating up. it is now being compared to the civil rights movement with activists saying this is nothing more than racial profiling. row testers continued for a third straight day. thousands took to the arizona capital. they are angry about this new law which requires police to question the immigration status of anyone suspected of being in the country illegally. anyone who is would be arrested and turned over to the federal government. opponents called it racist saying the law is unconstitutional and that people will be pull over because of the color of their skin. they are promising to march on arizona like civil rights leaders did in the south. >> we will bring people from around the country to arizona to be freedom walkers where we will walk down the streets with no id and submit ourselves to arrest. what is the difference between us and any mexican or any haitian? >> reporter: supporters say the law for bids race or ethnicity from being the only reason for an immigration check. president barack obama has called the law misguided and he has asked the justice department to check into whether this is legal. the mayor of phoenix is also suing to overturn this law which would take effect in july. so there is still a very long fight, it appears, ahead. live in the satellite center, sherry ly. president obama gave the eulogy for the 29 miners killed in a mine explosion. >> these miners did, as they lived, in the pursuit of the american dream. this man said he just wanded to seat president but now police are trying to figure out why joseph mcvey had a again and a car equipped with police gar. officers arrested him yesterday as air force one took off. investigator says mcvey got out of a car in a public lot wearing the

can save you time right after this. i stand before you today... to apologize. the system has failed you. i have failed you. i have failed to help you share your talent with the world when the world needs talent more than ever. yet, it's being wasted every day... by an educational system steeped in tradition and old ideas. well, it's time for a new tradition. it's time to realize talent isn't just in schools like this one, it's everywhere. it's time to use technology to rewrite the rules of education, to learn how you learn so we can teach you better. it's time the university adapted to you, rather than you adapting to it. it's time--time--time for a different--different kind of university. it's your time. welcome back. coming up on 6:41 on this monday morning. we all know time is

realm, they have to have some sort of utility. time saving is just one of them. if the dmv is on your to do list look no further than dmv.orgt links to you different state resources. it does vary by

wait in line including renewing your tags, replacing a lot of lost driver's license, getting a official copy of your driver's record. why wouldn't you go this route. the after ran time it take to conduct one of these transactions, four minutes. that compares to on a good day, 0 minutes in line at the dmv. >> i'm guilty. i have done that. of a sat in the dmv when i could have just with the click of a mouse taken this route. >> once you do, you will never go back. there are some things you still need to go to the dmv and do. there are even a link to get people to stand in for you if you are so inclined. >> the next one you like is mapquest route builder. >> i think this is one of the best kept secrets. you can actually opportunity your smart phone into a gps for free now. that is the

the kitchen, get what you want to get done. we don't have 0 minutes anymore. those should be 10 to 15-minute meals. >> you are right. you? standard seems to be settling in around 10 minutes. what is interesting about this site, kitchen daily designed to be used daily put together by the former editor of gourmet magazine. they said, how about we do a website where we feature what we've been really cooking at home if the last 15 years. they threw out gourmet part and got there quickly. can you search by the time it takes. you can say i only have 10 minutes and by the way, here what is i have in the pantry, here what is i have in the fridge. that is the power of the internet to search the database with million of recipes and say here are some options. i haven't run out to the store. i've used what i had and i didn't get results but take 40, 50 minutes which i don't have. >> i love this. you're right. you would look threw gourmet magazine and go wow, that look fabulous by i couldn't cook that. this is real practical for those of us that are normal people. open table is another web site for those of us looking for a restaurant. you don't want to wait in line. >> open table is the

send the confirmation to all of these people and enter their emmail address and you are one click away from direction on sites like mapquest. i'm not calling around telling everyone. here is where

love it. >> steve is always up on these things. >> he knows it. >> not as much as regina knows it. >> thank you. >> all about saving time. i tell you what. you save every minute can you get these days, right? >> yeah, we can use it. as far as our weather goes for today, i can save you a little time. take an umbrella with you because you may need it. we take a look at hd radar. already showers north of the district up towards baltimore. certainly around baltimore. frederick, maryland as well and now down around waldorf we're all seeing a little bit of precipitation there and then down further to the south and west near fredericksburg there is a little blip showing up there as well which look lake a spot of heavy rain. so we're keeping our eyes on all of this in the district right now. nothing in the way of any rain showers but just to the north, that is where we're seeing the precipitation. 54degrees at reagan national airport. dulles at 5 # degree. bwi marshall at 51 degrees. -- dulles at 53 degrees. all those purples, that is the big storms that came through the mid-atlantic renale object yesterday afternoon and last night dropping hail, through the mid-atlantic region yesterday afternoon and night night dropping hail. i don't expect to see as much severe weather today because i don't think the dynamics will be as favorable as they were yesterday. we will see showers and thunderstorms pop up across the area. here is why. first of all, similar to yesterday, warmer air coming in from the south. yesterday, we had that sunshine that really moved us into the upper 70s to around 80 degrees. it actually hit 80 at tull -- etween the two systems, an area of low pressure moves across. we other see showers and some afternoon thunderstorms develop. five-day forecast, today, high about 70 degrees. tomorrow, the unsettled weather continues at late through the first half of the day or so. highs in the mid 1r0 way few more showers possible. wednesday, we try out, mid-60s with a mix of sun and clouds. thursday, sunny, 70 degrees. that is for thursday, that will be just below average. i think the average high for thursday, 71 degrees. friday, 75 and a good amount of sunshine so not bad for the ending part of the week. >> that looks about perfect. >> today, kind of a dicey day. time now for ask the we are guys. it is the segment where tucker barnes and i put our big heads together to answer your most pressing questions weather- related or wise. today's question is from christine muncie. she wants to know the correct way to interpret the chance of rain we give in a forecast of the she writes does 60% mean 60% of the lynn listening area will receive rain or does it mean there is a 60% chance of rain. apparently christine and her husband completely dries agree -- disagree on the answer. what do you think? >> i think it is a 60% chance that somebody in our viewing area is going to see rain. >> i agree. >> you are pretty much right. as a weather forecaster, someone would has been doing this for many years, there is great misunderstanding. it means one thing in particular. i think the misunderstanding comes from when you -- if you look it up, if you go online and go to different places, there are all kind of answers out there. i went right to the national weather service. here it is. the chance of rain is based on a mathematical equation which itself is based on historical data, what happened previously when these same weather conditions existed. however, that is not what solely determines the chance of rain that you hear me or others talk about. the equation, i'm giving this for steve would like math, the equation states that the probability of precipitation is c, the confident level that precipitation will occur somewhere in the forecast area times a, the percent of the area that will receive measurable precipitation if it occurs. a 60% chance of rain does not mean this. it does not mean that it will rain 60% of the day. it
