But first, doug hill, do we have storms on the horizon tonight . Doug its not looking that way. We thought we had a chance of showers but its quiet now. Over the weekend we have those chances and the sevenday at abc7 news a jonathan if you havent seen the video from the california fire, its incredible. Norm normally at night they lay down for the night but not this one. Theyre exploding. They give you an idea of how large the fire is. Its almost 32,000 acres in size and less than 5 contained. We are joined live from Southern California. What they need is rain. Please tell me they have some in the forecast. Reporter jonathan, im not sure about that. What we do know right now is that the red flag warnings are still in place in Southern California. Which means more extreme conditions for firefighters who are now on day three of fighting the flame. The blue cut fire is still out of control. The conditions are brutal. Its extremely hot. The weather is over 10 degrees. Today is the first day we have had temps below 100. Reporter the gusty wind and heat making it hard for firefighters to keep the fastmoving flames from destroying more land. Its not santa ana wind season. It doesnt come until october. So really that fire season for us, this isnt supposed to be fire season. Reporter Evacuation Order still in place for more than 80,000 residents.

Reporter we have just learned that a major roadway from Southern California to los angeles, the i15 through the cajon pass reopened. It was one of the first things to shut down when the fire started. Reporting live from california, donya backes, abc7 news. Jonathan thank you. Alison former nfl champion and superstar Darren Sharper has been sentenced to more than 18 years in prison following his rape conviction. He was convicted of drugging and raping as many as 16 women in four states. Sharper did plead guilty in federal court in new orleans where he played for the saints during part of his nfl career. Jonathan new from chicago, a recommendation that the seven officers involved in the deadly shooting of mcdonald be fired. Recently the dash cam video was r contradicted what they said happened. Van dyke fired 16 times at the 17yearold who was veering away from police who said they were lunging at him. Alison a scary start to a flight. Flames, look at that, started shooting out of the engine. This is a Qatar Airways air bus a330. You can see some of the fire out of the left engine. No one was hurt. Jonathan if you would rather keep your wheels on the ground, uber announced they will start using driveless cars for passengers in pittsburgh. Really . That will begin in the next several weeks. They assure potential passengers hey, well still stick a human behind the wheel but he wont be driving. This is part of a 300 million deal with volvo who is providing the s. U. V. s. How comfortable would you feel Jamie Sullivan is joining us with details. What do you think about Driverless Cars . Jamie it worries me. But if it happens, it happens. We have people in their cars in bumpertobumper traffic. We are seeing this in quite a few areas. Start on 95. If you travel in virginia working your way from the mixing bowl closer to the harbor and even getting into Stafford County this is the pace you will be at in most areas along the stretch on 95. Right now just under 15 minutes from the occoquan continuing south closer to triangle. And again, that is not the heaviest area. We still have it through lorton. We had a midday accident that tied it up that just added to the congestion that we always see in the afternoon. In the district right now, not too bad. We are not seeing big issues as far as problems. Traveling along the beltway, yes, we have a slow stretch as you get on inner loop from tysons continuing closer to 270. Once you get into Silver Spring, take a look here. Top side of the beltway lacks great georgia avenue. Moving at or above the posted speed limit. If you are traveling on 95 or 270, still a clear ride. A little sun glare on 66. Jonathan thank you very much. More disappointed tourists here in d. C. They were planning to visit the Washington Monument today, go up in the elevator to see everything. That didnt happen. I was closed for repairs because of the darn elevator. Yesterday an employee was briefly trapped and one of the elevator cable nearly broke. The park service hass not said when the monument will reopen. That is a bummer. That is one of the big draws here. Alison of course today weather wise, if you werent in the sun especially in the morning its nice. Jonathan not bad. Doug its a little bit hot. The average high is 97. Around 92 tomorrow the next couple of days but still by the middle of next week a beautiful air mass coming. Give you something to look forward to. Alison a beautiful air mass. Got to like that. Doug i cant wait. Its not terribly humid. A few clouds armed. Clouds around. We havent seen the clouds getting higher and higher in the sky to indicate showers or storms are forming. Its pleasant out there. A warm side and on the humid side in spots where it feels like its 96 in washington. 95 is the feelslike temperature in fredericksburg. Leesburg at 96 degrees. 94 in frederick. 91 in annapolis. It feels like 96 in the nations capital. Overnight will be partly cloudy. Muggy and maybe a touch of fog. Temperatures are comfortable in the morning. Upper 60s to the lower 70s in the metro region. The future cast keeps things quiet tonight. Partly cloudy skies. Tomorrow in the afternoon, showers and thunderstorms could develop well south. We think we will have sunshine. 90, 92 degrees. Saturday is partly cloudy and hot and humid around by late saturday afternoon, scattered thunderstorms will be a possibility. We think on sunday even a better chance as the cold front starts to push more of the moisture in your direction. So again, sunday afternoon and evening, the nighttime hours could be pretty good probability of rain around the area. The sevenday forecast, interesting because im blocking the best part. Im doing it intentionally. Lets deal with the 90s for a few more days. 92 tomorrow. 90 on saturday. 90 on sunday. Those days feature a chance of showers but likely the showers and the storms turn cooler and less humid on monday at 85. Look at tuesday and wednesday, delightful, bright sunshine, low humidity. It will finally turn warmer for the day on thursday of next week. And its 4 00. You know what that is on thursday . Its trivia time. This is a good one for you. We have had a hot august so far. Saturday, sunday and monday it was 100 degrees or higher. The question today, when was the last time washington reached 100 degrees or higher for three c the month of august . Was it august of 1988 . August of 1956 august of 1956 . August of 1930 . Alison its been that long . Even if its 1988 thats a long time. Doug we will have the answer. Dont hang out on the edge of your chairs and dont move. Jonathan thats what we do. We are poised on the edge of our seats. Alison jonathan always gets them right. Jonathan i have my answer locked in. Doug he is buddy google. Jonathan you always say that. I get lucky. How about this . 7 on your side consumer alert. The next iphone may be delayed. Alison the 7 and the 7s will be available september 23. This is according to a source for the website 9 to 5 mac. This news comes after rumors you would be able to ditch the older models earlier this year. Bloomberg initially reported that september 7 would be the unveiling, which would make sense. 7, right . Apple has not firmly confirmed jonathan well, they are so darn secretive about everything, they will never let you know. Alison well see what happens.

It lifts my watching baseball. Its a perfect getaway from everything. Erin last week what a thrill. She got to throw out the ceremonial first pitch. This is a dream come true for me. Erin the pitch was a little short. That was my wild pitch. Erin but the purpose is to show she and erCancer Patients can ral and other Cancer Patients can rally against the dreaded disease. That is a perfect strike in anybodys book. She gives me strength because she is amazing. And she just holds her head up and keep going. The whole point here is lung cancer awareness. Its great fun to do this but this actually serves a purpose. Erin all the best to karen. This weeks team player. Alison wow what a great energy. Jonathan she had a nice windup, too. It wasnt a bad pitch. Straight to the catcher. Alison good for her. Wishing her the best. Jonathan coming up here at abc7 news at 4 00 yet again last night, severe storms blowing through the area.
