A crash in oakton, virginia on germantown road east of route 123. Ive been trying to see how you can get around it and maybe just stick to courthouse road as your alternate route. If youre planning to head through that area, youllle have to follow Police Direction. Again thats germantown road east of route 123 in oakton is shut down with the crash. 66 is not affected.

C. , you know that these cameras mistake but this morning there are new cameras around town and theyre not just set to catch speeders and red light runners. Delia goncalves joins us live with details on who else theyre after. Good morning. Reporter good morning. It depends on who you talk to but it seems like theyre after each and every one of us but they do say the ultimate goal is all about public safety. And there is a record of success. Here we are live at 45th and mccomb and nestled in this neighborhood is this lovely silver box. Its a camera that you may see in a lot of these little neighborhoods and it will probably surprise you. This is a stop sign camera. It will flash and catch you if you fail to come to a complete stop at this intersection. So how did the city decide to place these certain cameras in certain neighborhoods . Well, they said they did studies and also got input from the community. Lets take a closer look at some of the cameras throughout the city. Dozens of them ar around the district. And they will catch drivers rolling through a stop sign, failing to stop for a pedestrian at a crosswalk, or blocking the box. Blocking the intersection. The cameras even have sensors inside that will identify oversized vehicles illegally driving through some d. C. Neighborhoods. I think the cameras are a good idea. I think its terrible. It probably prevents some accidents but its kind of i kind of feel like 1984 a little bit. Making a turn is different. Its you have no choice if youre in the middle of the intersection because you cant back up. If you run a yellow light and if youre in the box and the light turns red, you should get a ticket. Reporter you can hear a lot of people have varying opinions about what is an infraction and what deserves a ticket but guess what . These tickets will cost you 50 to 300. However, dont panic. If you a little flash and you tense up and youre driving away, there is a grace period right now for drivers going through this time of transition. You will get a warning right now but come december 30, those tickets will be real. Well have much more on the Science Behind these cameras coming up at 5 30. Mike, andrea, back to you. Science. And the bottom line. Thank you, delia. Friends and coworkers gather to remember a postal worker who was shot and killed while he was on the job this weekend. Someone gunned down 26yearold Tyson Barnette of Upper Marlboro on saturday while he was at work. Barnette was on his assigned route in landover delivering mail along reed street when i was shot several time. Prince georges county police are offering a 25,000 reward. The u. S. Postal Inspection Service has put up a 100,000 reward in this case. 25 degrees right now but it because even colder last night. Imagine trying to survive outside in these below freezing temperatures. Now a new report finds a nationwide drop in homelessness doesnt apply when it comes to the district. The u. S. Department of housing and urban development says the number of Homeless People in d. C. Is up 29 over the last six years. There is a bit of encouraging news. The report also found only about 7. 5 of the citys Homeless Population is ununshelterred. More than 20 d. C. Foster children now have a pement home as we head into the permanent home as we head into the Holiday Season. Their adoptions were finalized this weekend as part of the annual d. C. Adoption day. The new parents and siblings were celebrated in a d. C. Supreme court. The organizers are hoping Public Events like these will help encourage other people to consider adopting foster children. According to d. C. Child and tharlatest your money hildren report it is 5 06. Time for your latest money report of the morning. Wall street starts today after another record week. The Dow Jones Industrial average starts this morning back above 16,000, second day in a row. The s p 500 also hit a record high on friday closing north of 1800. Checking the numbers the dow was up big time on the day at 54 points. It starts this morning at 16,064. The s p 500 was better by almost 9 and the nasdaq was up by 22 and a half. This week on your mark, get set and shop. On thursday walmart will open its doors at 6 00 p. M. Toys r us opens at 5 00 p. M. And of course this is just the beginning. Black friday still draws the biggest numbers. 46 of us will hit the sales and 34 of shoppers will be back in stores this upcoming weekend, thanksgiving weekend and then of course we have cyber monday, just around the corner, a week away. Last year cyber monday, tuesday, wednesday and thursday were all over a billion dollars in sales online. So you think with those types of numbers this is going to be a pretty good year in the Gift Department but this Holiday Season americans may not spend the green unless they see more red. Despite signs that the economy is improving, big store chains dont think americans are going to plunk down the cash unless they see huge discounts so you are likely to see big sales events earlier and more often than previous Holiday Seasons. Some people are just saying dont buy anything that isnt on sale this year because the deals, they are out there. Youd hate to buy full price and see it slashed. What do you have for us the next halfhour . Were going to take a look at the fight over d. C. s minimum wage. Its heating up yet again. Well talk about that in 30 minutes. Jess, thank you.

A little bit mild. 35 to 40. Better than the 32 to 43 than the 32 highs we had yesterday. Right now monika with timesaver traffic. On the west side of town, things look great across the co oakton, germantown road is closed east of route 123 with an accident. You might want to use white granite drive to get around all the activity. Back you to guys. Thank you, monika. At 5 11, heres a look at whats new this morning. At least eight deaths are blamed now on the deadly winter storm marching across the u. S. The storm started out late last week in Southern California and deadly weatherrelated crashes have been reported from there into the countrys midsection. Now moving through the southeast, the storm is expected to arrive in our area tomorrow. Authorities in indonesia are expanding the evacuation perimeter around a rumbling volcano. A mile and a Half Mountain erupted again sending a column of ash. Another mile into the air. The indonesian government is setting up some more temporary shelters as villages far from the volcano are being forced to get empty. Thursday the comet ison could put on an anaysing show. It will pass 130,000 miles of the sun and the heat could destroy the comet. If it survives this close encounter, its expected to be one of the brightest things in the night sky next month. A degree or two could make a pretty big difference for d. C. Area families heading out for thanksgiving. Thats because most of us will get cold rain but some will see wintry precipitation. Howard joins us next with the sevenday we were just discussing the fact, everybody seems to have a weather page right now. A lot of people say theres going to absnowstorm next to be a snowstorm next week. Yeah, but probably not here. Ive been consistent with that and still feel that way. I have a lot of questions. There are other people out there who see 55 different forecasts. You got it right over the weekend. So go forward. Were going to have a lot of rain coming up, especially tomorrow into tomorrow night. There may be a brief period of some wintry mix north and west tomorrow morning and wednesday afternoon we may see snow u wha were looking at temperatures this morning which are down in the teens and 20s. By this afternoon, mid to upper 30s. Lucky ones get to 40. And the winds thankfully not too bad, south winds 5 to 10 miles an hour. By tonight were back in the middle 30s. Thats a cold night for football. Weve got some for you. Mid30s, partly if not mostly cloudy with the 49ers in town. Kickoff at 8 40. The south winds only 5, maybe 10 miles an hour. So a lot more comfortable for the redskins fans than the ravens fans had yesterday. 19 right now in williamsport. 16 in charlottesville. Even raleigh they have 20 degrees. Charleston at 17. A really, really cold morning for late november. A cold morning for january or february at that matter. 21 now in germantown to 23 at joint base andrews. Fairfax at 19. 22 in waldorf andle up in baltimore. Outside looking at Reagan National on our weather camera. A cold, there. 24, clear skies, feeling like 15. The air bone dry. This is the sign of an arctic air mass. When you get the Single Digits and subzero dew points, cold, dry air. But when you look around the rest of the country, theres the arctic air in canada. We dont see the really cold stuff. Thats one of the things that tells me were likely going to be quickly switching over to anything. If it doesnt start as rain, quickly switching over to rain tomorrow. Clouds increasing out of the west this afternoon. Well see some high cloudiness at times today. Youll notice as we go through the day, here we are at 5 00. Still some breaks. Tonight the clouds thicken up. Perhaps a rain or snow shower mixing in before morning but tomorrow here comes the surge of moisture with the rain down in charlottesville, getting into the Shenandoah Valley by 6 00 a. M. Here, west of the blue ridge, better chance well see some mix tomorrow in the morning. As we go toward lunch time, even just west, northwest of d. C. , potentially a little bit of sleet mixing in. Thwe as get into the afternoon, the warm air builds in and the rains pick up tomorrow afternoon, tomorrow night before the system starts to wind down some with lingering showers wednesday and those rain showers wednesday may actually finish as snow showers. Today increasing clouds, 38. Going to keep yellow alerts up not just tomorrow but wednesday as well with the threat for rain maybe mixing to snow showers before the day is over. But a heavy rain at times tomorrow. Were looking at potentially 2 to 3 inches of rain tomorrow and wednesday in many areas from this system. By thursday were all done, just windy and colder, 38. The ravens are home thursday night. Thats a cold one. Dry and milder through sunday. Monika . Theres a crash right now on the outer loop of the beltway.

This is a lost year and its essentially lights out but well have plenty of coverage as the day goes o. How about the Baltimore Ravens . They did exactly what weve become accustomed to them doing. Yesterday winning ugly. The ravens nsoffee didnt wow anybody but did enough. Joe flacco and torrey smith hooked up a couple of plays and jacoby jones caught the only big play of the game. Yesterday we had really good basketball. Georgetown taking on bcu in san juan. Devontay smith, 26 points, three of them right there. Georgetown and bcu in a tough one. The swoop to the hoop.

Youre going to find cameras almost everywhere trying to catch drivers who speed or run red lights. Guess what . Theyre adding more cameras in and around the district. This time theyre trying to set up for other violations. Theyll catch you no matter e n thanks, delia. Reporter im cozying up with one of these lovely cameras that well all become very accustomed to in the next day or two or coming months. Were here live on the intersection of 45th and mccomb. This lovely silver box is nestled in the neighborhood to catch folks who are rolling through the stop sign at this intersection. So you may be wondering, i certainly am, how can a camera determine if ive stopped at this sign long enough. Even though theres no legal time frame, according to aaa, a complete stop means all four tires come to a rest. So even though the camera may first decide by snapping that flashing picture behind you, heres some good news. D. C. Police at least have a threetier review system by a human being who will look at the tape and then finally determine if indeed a driver broke the w. The 100 new cameras will also catch drivers who fail to stop for pedestrians in crosswalks, block the box or speed through the intersection to beat the light. Who hasnt been guilty of that once in a while. Sensors will even catch oversize vehicles like trucks and big rigs cutting through some d. C. Neighborhoods. Police say this program has been a success, changed our driving habits and made our streets safer since the first red light camera in 1999. Weve experienced reductions in traffic fatalities over the last ten years of about 70 . So we that would be my argument that this is definitely working. Its positive and its reducing the fatalities on our roadways. There have been studies that have been done that dictate the higher intersections where we have more accidents as opposed to others and our deployments are consistent with those. Theyre also consistent with a about it, even though the community is concerned and pedestrians and cyclists have been concerned as well, the city is raking in some serious cash thanks to these cameras. Aaa says a record 91 million for fiscal year 2012. Back to you. That means there should be more police on the street. Thats a lot of money. Where does that money go . 5 34. Thanks for waking up with us. Singer chris brown will not have to appear in a d. C. Courtroom as he was originally sched duleto do today. A d. C. Superior court judge agreed to let brown waive his appearance. Hesci fang a misdemeanor assault charge here for allegedly punching a manual in the face outside the w hotel last month. Last week in los angeles a judge there ordered brown into anger management rehab. Brown is on probation there for his assault on his then girlfriend rihanna for an accident back in 2 incident back in 2009. The state board of elections in virginia will certify the vote in the attorney generals race. According to the boards website democrat mark herring leads republican Mark Obenshain by just 165 votes. That is less than 100th of a percentage point difference. That gives obenshain the right to request a recount. Both candidates have announced transition teams. Its 5 35. Thanks for waking up with us this monday. Time for another your money report. Jess came is back with another jessica is back with another local money fight. Good morning to everybody at home. The fight over d. C. s minimum wage is heating up yet again. City Council Committee meeting is scheduled to vote today on a bill that would increase the minimum wage to 11. 50 an hour. That would be one of the highest rates in the country. D. C. Mayor vincent gray says he supports hike be the citys minimum wage but to 10 an hour. Thats a dollar 50 less than the council. That buck 50 is setting up a possible showdown over expansio railroad tunnel. The virginia avenue tunnel is owned by csx used by csx trains. The Railroad Company wants to make repairs and expand the tunnel. Some say the expansion project will hurt the environment and make local traffic even worse. And a virginia landmark and tour im traction once owned by Thomas Jefferson has a potential buyer.

It was said to be auctioned off in december, including a famous 215foot high limestone arch. Really beautiful. It would be a great place to see the leaves if they special. It really is. Thank you.

A mix of rain, snow and wind. Very windy on wednesday. So thats going to hamper things but if youre taking a car trip, i think wednesday actually will be better than tuesday, especially if youre coming up from the south. Cold is the problem once again, although the winds are much lighter than yesterday. Temperatures teens and 20s to start. Here is your day planner if take you a look at the washington monument. Good looking visibility this morning. Sunshine fading behind clouds as the day wears on. You see the speeds. They do get up to 11 at 4 00. South, southwest 5 to 10, give or take a couple.

Look at the current temperatures down in the mid teens in martinsburg. Single digits in the mountains of West Virginia. Culpeper 18. Fredricksburg 19. Andrews and pax river at 23 this morning with windchills down mostly in the teens. One thing youre noticing some of the temperatures the same as the wind chills so the winds thankfully a lot lighter than yesterday. Another look outside on our michael son weather camera, clear skies, great visibility. 24, feeling like 18 at Reagan National. The air very dry. Dew points at 6. The winds yesterday spreading fiergs are a concern. Fires are a concern. We had some in West Virginia that have been a real problem the last week or so all the moisture coming in should do a lot to quell that effect. Lake effect snows. Clouds increasing already across the southern half of virginia in advance of the system coming for tomorrow. Look for skies to go partly to mostly cloudy at times today. A chilly day, 35 to 40. Clouds will thicken up tonight. Isolated snow shower here overnight but the bulk of the precip starts coming in tomorrow morning. The pink is the mix. The blue is the snow. This is 6 00 a. M. Well take you to 8 30. So right now im optimistic that the morning rush may get through dry. Midmorning to late morning, here we have rain. A mix of sleet potentially, potentially freezing rain in a coupofle pockets and the snow up to the north. Were going to go with lots of rain tomorrow afternoon, tomorrow evening. Some 2 to 3inch totals are possible with potentially the heavier stuff pulling out overnight leaving us with erwednesday. With f we have more than 3inch totals here, it wouldnt surprise me. Tonight down to 33 with 20s in the suburbs. Tomorrow morning a mix west. Yellow alert day with heavy rain at times and another yellow alert on wednesday with showers around which may end as snow showers in spots. A slick spot or two late. 38 on thursday with the wind and then a warming trend up to 50 by sunday. Here comes monika samtani, timesaver traffic on this monday morning. A couple of things you need to know about early this morning. First of all, its a bad situation over in oakton on germantown road east of route 123 where theres a crash involving a single vehicle. It happened about 1 30 this morning and left one person dead. So crews are still on the scene investigating there. Germantown road east of route 123. Well take a live look at 66 nearby at route 123 and this is of course not affected. Youre going to be fine as you travel through this area of mclean basically in vienna as you head for the s goback to th there was a single vehicle accident on the outer loop after Georgia Avenue. A car hit the guardrail. Crews were about to clear that up and now theres a threecar accident right in that same area. In fact, lets take a live look from our sky 9 on the outer loop of the beltway. This is backup to Georgia Avenue and that crash ive been telling you about. So hey there it is. Be aware of the delay already forming here on the outer loop through silver spring. Westbound 495. I will keep you posted on the situation. Back to you guys. Thanks, monika. 5 49. Did you know your childs grades . Of course you know your childs grades but do you know how well your Childs School is doing . Would you give the school an a or an f . Very intriguing. Virginia state board of education has just approved a controversial new grading system that will give the schools letter grades as well as the students. Peggy fox has more on the the Loudoun County delegate who introduced this bill and why educators dont like it. Why do we have to make parents go to pta meetings and do all this research to figure out if its a good school or bad school. Its a b or an f center. Delegate agreeson introduced what is now law to have the state assign letter grades to schools themselves. When i talked to the average parent, theyre not really sure what accredit decision means but they absolutely know what an a, b, c or d grade means and we just wanted to use words that they would understand and be able to digest. Reporter but the Fairfax County school board and others oppose the new grading system. They say it will unfairly label schools, especially those with high populations of struggling students.
