I love the air and space museum. I should call it the air conditioned and space museum. Right now, its pleasant. Upper 60s in much of virginia. And downtown in the low 70s, right near 70 by the bay. Shenandoah mountains in the low to mid 60s. At dawn, live view from tower camera showing the sky growing brighter. Sunrise at 6 23. And through 8 00 it will be in the low to mid 70s. Then it will quickly jump all the way to near 90 by noontime. And then by mid afternoon, its going to be hitting the mid 90s. Feeling like about 100 degrees by mid afternoon when you add in the humidity. So be prepared for that. Humidity will be with us through the week ahead. That feels like High Temperature near 100 today. It will drop a bit tomorrow. Mid 90s. Low to mid 90s for wednesday and thursday. Because it will be so humid on tuesday and wednesday, it will fell like the low to mid 90s. Dont have any storms anywhere in the vicinity. I love this photo of a pink moon last evening. Crescent moon, that photo posted by jen johnson on my twitter page. You can post also on facebook and instagram. Not as hot tomorrow, upper 80s to near 90s. Maybe an afternoon storm, mainly west off to our west. Shenandoah valley and the mountains. Metro may get a shower on tuesday. Then we start to dry out on friday. Less humid for the weekend. Highs in the 80s each day. Melissa is looking at the crashes this morning. We have a couple of crashes and a brandnew delay on metro right now. Lets start with that. Yellow line delays this morning to huntington. Thats because of the disabled train outside of greenbelt. It is not the new 7000 series train thats disabled this morning. Just checked with Megan Fitzgerald on this one. We still have a crash on the left side, still slowing things down quite a bit. 270 south at 118, germantown road, a crash there. Again, one mile backup approaching that crash at 118. 66 west at the toll road, another accident there. That one reported to be on the shoulder. Big look at the beltway, inner and outer loop, everything there flowing just fine. Prince georges county, nice and green. See you back here at 6 01. Thanks, melissa. The grand jury will reconvene to decide if the Fairfax County officer will face charges for shooting and killing an unarmed man. Adam torres shot john geer during a standoff. Other officers say geer had his hands up when he was shot. Fairfax county agreed to pay his family 3 million to settle a wrongful death suit. Officer torres is no longer on the police force. Well, its going to sound like a battlefield on part of the walter reed campus in bethesda later today. Students at the uniformed as much as university will training for combat situations. Now, the drills are happening today as well as tomorrow and they are going to include paint ball guns, actors portraying soldiers and a lot of yelling so were told. Well, today in richmond, Transportation Leaders are talking about how to pay to improve your commute. Vdot is considering a Public Private financing for construction on i66 outside the beltway. A special Transportation Committee is meeting at 2 00 this afternoon. Well, you want catch a vre train from the new spotsylvania station this summer. It probably wont open until the fall. The project has been plagued by construction problems. More trains will be added to the fredericksburg line. Move over google. Apple may beat you to the punch when it comes to certain technology. Cnbcs landon dowdy has details on that for us. Good morning. Hey, good morning to you. An apples selfdriving car may be closer to reality. Theyre scouring for secure locations in california to test the vehicle. They have been hiring people with backgrounds in auto safety and power train systems. Theyre now housed in a building several miles from apples new headquarters. And delta is shaming customers into spending more on expensive upgrades. They say we try to buy a cheap ticket and deltas website lists several restrictions before the final confirmation, including warning youll be the last to board, you wont get a seat assignment or a refund. Delta is only trying to make people aware of what theyre buying. Aaron . Thank you. This morning, flights at our areas airports are back to normal. A computer glitch at the air Traffic Control center in leesburg, virginia, delayed thousands of planes and cancelled hundreds more on saturday. Those delays spilled over into sunday and the faa says it has fixed the problem, but its still investigating to find out what caused the glitch. Well, right now on news4 today, all morning long we have been telling you about the big morning for metro. But just within the last couple of minutes we have learned about a problem that is delaying the big moment. We are live as people are on right now on news4 today, a neighborhood rocked by murder and a man cut down in his prime. What we learned about a crime that many said is senseless. And metros big moment hit a big snag. Moments ago the newest train doesnt get the debut we anticipated. But first, intense heat on the way as the Nations Capital sizzles in another heat wave. Tom kierein is kicking it off with what you need to know this morning. Good morning. Here comes another one just like the other one. Theres that hazy pink sky, live view from the storm team 4 tower camera at dawn. A warm morning followed by a hot and humid afternoon and our Storm Chances will be getting higher as the week goes on. We have a pretty good chance of some storms moving on in. Right now, all settled. Hazy sky, in the low 70s nearby suburbs, inside the beltway. In Prince Georges County, upper 60s. Upper 60s, montgomery county. And the rest of Northern Virginia one of the cooler spots. Warrenton is at 63 degrees. Coming up next, your drive time forecast. We have delays on metro. Delays on metro. Yellow and green line delays between greenbelt and college park. Right now, just got word that we are singletracking there. Thats going to of course cause some issues this morning. Chopper 4 over 270 southbound at germantown road, 118, looks like the crash is out of the way. That we had earlier this morning. Still though a lot of volume headed southbound there as you can see from above. 66 west at the toll road, still have that crash on the shoulder. 95, b. W. Parkway, 29 here, everything here nice and green. Top of the beltway actually look quite good. No major slowdowns, 66 a little slow inbound through manassas and northbound through dale city
