Parkway, travel lanes shut down due to an accident involving a tractor trailer near 123. All lanes are closed. Volume delays stopped from the key bridge. All traffic is still being diverted to 123.

We have a question from tomiya hicks. I am in the fourth grade. My question is why has this season had unseasonably warm weather this winter and will we have any more snow days this year . Doug good question. Ill answer the last. Any more snow days this year . I dont think so but its not impossible. We had an unseasonably warm winter but we have a long way in march before we can say absolutely not. Why its been so warm, a lot of reasons but the primary. You see the white arrows . That represents the jetstream. The high level winds in the atmosphere that separate cold air north normally january, february, the jetstream dips south and the cold air pours out of the arctic and canada. This winter it has stayed north. Canada, the rockies in new england. We stayed in the mild weather. We get a jetstream south and cold air in and storm off the coast. You have your snow. Possible . Just dont think likely. Good answer. Alison thank you. Larry spring training continues in florida. Alison she left florida to come back to d. C. The weather is almost similar . Erin its almost better here. Its not as humid. I prefer that. Nationals decided to shore up bench this offseason and they signed adam lind to a oneyear, 1 million deal.

Some one you can rely on and help win games in the latter part of games. Erin the 11year veteran signed a oneyear, 1. 5
Million Contract<\/a> with the defending n. L. East champs. They are a great team. Great pitching staff. Great position players. I feel honored and blessed to get that opportunity.

West Palm Beach<\/a> i also sat down with bryce harper we caught up on everything from what he worked on in the offseason and his relationship to jayson werth.

We broke it up. Its fun to watch. He was in a good mood playing along. I like serano. Who do you like . Larry willie mays haze. Alison all right. When we come back paying more for possibly less on metro. And how these could possibly change under one board larry we are following a developing story out of
Dulles Airport<\/a> where passengers on a flight from istanbul to cuba made an unscheduled landing. Mechanical problem diverted the
Turkish Airlines<\/a> plane that wont be repaired until tomorrow morning. It wasnt supposed to land in the u. S. So a lot of people on board didnt have the right visa to be here. The u. S. Customs vetted all the passengers and helped them find hotel for the night. Michelle metro looking for ways to bridge the metro gap. Brianne carter has one of the newest proposals. We are concerned about the reduction in the bus service. Brianne a month before they vote on a new budget, metro riders are raising concerns. The chairman signaling that change is coming for the riders in july. My current position is there will be fare increases and cuts. Brian opposed to the riders paying more and getting less, but the bleak financial situation metsla is facing changed his mind. If we are going to keep functioning and take the approach that the general manager is putting out there, well have to make compromises. The ridership and the revenue is down. Transit authority is making cuts up internally to make up for the shortfall this year. The board has to decide how to make up the gap in next years budget. We lost 100,000 passengers in the last eight or so years. We got all of those back tomorrow. I only get 100 million. In the discussion the maryland board member suggesting selling naming rights for the metro stations. This could be super controversial and there are a lot of owe way we might be able to raise revenues. I dont have the tricks in my head but there is one idea that i think would inspire people to take this seriously because we are really at the bottom of the barrel brianne so imagine a station name changing to the verizon station. The board is set to take up next years budget next month. Reporting live, brianne carter, abc7 news. Jonathan right now at 6 00, two
