And that is going to destabilize the atmosphere, allow for showers and storms to start popping up. And right now, 78 here in washington. And in the low 80s, in cullpepper and fredericksburg, sitting at 80 degrees.

A couple of light showers there. Little bit of a storm, not severe, heavy downpours south of luray, head toward culpeper probably reaching that about 7 34 and dissipate moving further to the east. Thats the only storm we are tracking right now. As we mentioned earlier, big time wind damage, i mean, it was not a hail. That was not the signature. It was winds with these storms. Trees down and limbs down and branches snapped across parts of the area around old georgetown pike and also around river road in badly and we got bradley and we got this in at the airport, at national, gusts to 45 miles per hour.

Donald trump gets the first chance to put a stamp on this tonight and tonight we will hear from one of his biggest and frankly rarest surrogates, his wife melania who almost never speaks on the camp
Flood. Officials are worried theyll find more victims. The flash floods have left hundreds of people homeless and thousands without power. West virginias governor has declared a state of emergency for 44 of the states 55 counties. Now to our other top story, call for a do over after the brexit vote. So many people want another vote, they have crashed the u. K. Web site trying to sign petitions. More than 200,000 people have gotten their names on that list. A second referendum isnt in the cards for now. But experts say it is not out of the question. That vote shook the world and led Prime Minister David Cameron to quit.
