Ddot is supposed to have temporary signs up in time for the d. C. Emancipation day game on april 16th. We will see. All right. Lets check to see how things for those moving on the roads this evening, jamie sullivan. Hey, jamie jamie they are moving very well. We have a couple of different spots and i want to focus in first on northwest d. C. So we have Police Activity closing off 20th street northwest. Thats between l street and m street northwest. Now, were hearing about a suspicious package. So that is why police are on scene. As far as accidents, nothing major to worry about. Its going to be our slowing. For you heading outbound on 66 getting through falls church once you get outside of the beltway, lets take a live look and show you 66 near nutley street. Past this point continuing to the vienna metro, we are on the brakes. Again, typical slowing for us this afternoon and moving to the American Legion bridge. Getting on the inner loop basically from virginia into maryland, this is the inner loop so this is really the heaviest spot that we are seeing. The beltway for you though top side once you get into maryland were ok. Heading outbound on 270 not a lot going on just yet. If you live in gaithersburg and are working your way out, no delays. Virginia, 95 pretty typical heading south from newington stop and go to triangle. Thats a look at traffic. Hope of hopefully no accidents to have to worry about. Leon fingers are crossed. Alison weatherwise, gloomy day today. Doug dont be gloomy. Think of how nice it will be this weekend. Leon yeah doug we had rain this morning. Most of the day its been drab and dreary and cool. Maybe a couple of downpours this evening. Lets get started and look at the rooftop camera in rosslyn. Gray skies and not so much drizzle around the area. Kind of cloudy and damp and cool as the winds come off from the east to northeast cutting across the Atlantic Ocean and keeping us on the cool side. As well see in a couple of minutes, plenty of areas not far from here that are in the 70s and 80s. Go downstairs, outside talk with steve rudin to talk about some parts of the country that got nailed with severe flooding. Steve nothing like that for us at least not for today. Out to the west of us st. Louis, missouri were dealing with some strong thunderstorms yesterday evening and look at the flooding. They saw upwards of two to three inches of rain in, get this, less than two hours. Localized flooding there and the winds kicked up. This is the time of year that we see Severe Weather across the mid part of the country. And stronger storms eventually will make their way to our area. But it appears now thats not going to happen until at least friday and by friday were going to look for bigger storms here in the washington metro area. More on that. Plus this brief cooldown right, doug . Doug absolutely. Well warm this back up here. Its going to take until friday. We have right now on Doppler Radar, a line of thunderstorms part of a large complex thats been rolling across the upper midwest all day long and still some thunderstorms now from petersburg southward. A little earlier when it went through elkins wind gusts at 54 miles an hour. Were well to the east. This line is moving quickly. Over the past several hours, time lapse goes about 1 10 ago so this line is spreading rapidly to the east. You might notice the number of storms, red intensity showing the heaviest rain is diminishing a bit because this whole line which is originated in the warm and humid air mass is smacking head long into the cool and damp air that we have. In time over the next hour or two, the thundershowers will diminish. Look at the difference. 50 in washington. 84 in raleigh. 83 in greensboro. Roanoke at 79. Back behind this system, warming up to the upper 70s. Wedge of cold air coming down from new england keeping cool. This cold front kind of stationary but over the next 36 hours or so this front is going to turn around and come back to the northeast as a warm front and thats going to open the door to us friday. Sotherly winds and temperatures rising through the 70s. Maybe the low 80s. Big deal about friday is it depends how long a period of sunshine we get, how many areas of sunshine. If we get enough that means when the cold front comes through during the late afternoon, we could see possibly severe thunderstorms here. As i mentioned at the outset good news for the weekend. High pressure takes over for saturday and sunday and it would be just fine. Check it out for yourself here. Tomorrow were stuck in the 50s with drizzle and light rain. Then we get into friday it brightens up. Some sun or maybe periods of a lot of sunshine. High temperatures approaching 80 degrees but then in the afternoon, showers, thunderstorms, some potentially severe. The weekend, monday looks great. And then well see things i dont think its going to be 50 on monday. Ill check. Need to check on that. Alison we have a little time. Doug what are you doing . Well see. Alison never. All right. See you in a little bit. Still to come on abc 7 news at 4 00, a new big endorsement in congressman chris von hollands bid for a u. S. Senate seat in maryland. Fascinated about the whole thing.
