Thats more than six times the number issued by the cameras in the three neighboring counties. This year.

News4s Mark Segraves will have more on that part of that story, coming up tonight on news4 at 6 00. Now to new developments tonight of a maryland gubernatorial race. The Washington Post has given its endorsement to the democratic candidate, anthony brown, over his republican rival, businessman larry hogan.

Lieutenant governor still on his website reporter the candidates clashed over marylands health exchange. It wasnt pretty. It was difficult work. The only thing we were a leader in is failure. Were the first we have wasted 288 million on a website that doesnt work. Reporter Education Funding is a hot button issue for voters. Youre calling for a 450 million cut in School Construction. Thats like actutulip grove in bowie, clarks middle school in Montgomery County. Everything you just said is not true. I am not planning to cut one penny in School Construction costs and multiple news reports just today and yesterday have criticized you for this ridiculous false charge. Reporter brown accuses hogan of attempting undermine marylands tough gun control law. Washington post expose shows in a private discussion with gun rights activists, you said to them that youre going to roll back the provisions of the firearms safety act, which is just devastating, it would be devastating for maryland.

When asked how long a term, 46 who say he should go to jail suggested he serve one to five years. Mcdonnell and his wife maureen will be sentenced in it january. Clouds hanging around on this rainy monday. Storm team 4 tracking some changes, however. Heading our way. Doug . Yeah. Ill tell you what, guys. Over the next 48 hours, were going to see a lot of changes. Were going to have the fog, the clouds across most of the area right now. Although not everywhere. Next few days, man, were going to see a lot. Take a look right now. Ill show you whats happening. Not much in the way of rain. We saw some rain earlier today, but storm team 4 radar shows that rain has now moved well out of the region and were actually going to be looking at whats going to be a dry night. Still damp in many places but its going to stay dry. The storm system itself heres the rain we saw earlier today. This is the next storm. And look at this line of thunderstorms, tornado watches across parts of the south, tornado warnings. Three tornadoes reported so far. That whole line is moving our way. This is what were going to be expecting. This will be during the day on wednesday. So what do we expect wednesday evening into the overnight . Flooding possible, chance for Power Outages as well as some very strong winds. Were going to talk much more about our Severe Weather threat and what comes not just in the next 24 but next 48 hours as well. Holding out home for Hannah Graham one month after she vanished. The renewed plea from her parents tonight. Legalizing marijuana in the district. Even if voters approve the measure next month, there could be a delay in lighting up. Have you seen the news about Barbara Comstock . First, the Washington Post reported, Barbara Comstock failed to report eightyfive thousand in income. Now, we learn, Barbara Comstock pushed a clients issues in the Virginia Legislature and didnt disclose it. Barbara comstock shepherded a trio of bills through the legislature and into law, but Barbara Comstock never officially disclosed that all the while she was being paid thousands of dollars. No wonder she hid it. These are newly released pictures of Hannah Graham, the missing uva student from Fairfax County. Her parents gave us these pictures as the search for hannah hit one month today. Jesse matthew is accused of abducting hannah, yet there is still no sign of her. Northern Virginia Bureau chief julie carey returned to charlesville today as hannahs family issued a new statement. Reporter the renewed plea from Hannah Grahams parents today, end this nightmare. That is what search teams desperately want to do, which is why there is no holiday as they follow up on leads in targeted rural areas, taking no breaks in their efforts to find the 189yearold. And no break either in the painful way for hannahs parents. John and susan graham issued a new written statement that reads in part, we truly appreciate the enormous effort thats being made to find hannah. It is heartbreaking for us that the person or persons who know where hannah is have not come forward with that information. It is within their power both to end this nightmare for all and to relieve the searchers of their arduous task. I had a class there last semester. Reporter on the uva campus, this second year student is among a small group that stayed around over fall break. Carolyn chisolm says its troubling to realize a full month has passed since hannah was last seen on the downtown pedestrian mal. A month is a really long time. While it doesnt seem long for us, thats a really long time for her to be gone so its sad. And i think we all want her back. Reporter chisolm and other young women we met today say they have changed their habits since hannah disappeared. They no longer walk alone at night. And they say the arrest of Jesse Matthew for the abduction of Hannah Graham brings slight reassurance. Steps in the right direction. Maybe somehow we can find that be a step closer to her. Reporter at the onemonth mark too, Virginia State Police Continue to investigate a forensic link between matthew and the abduction and death of Morgan Harrington in 2009. Whats more, that case has a dna connection to a 2005 Fairfax County rape. Coming up on news4 at 6 00, youll hear from a man who was involved in the search for Morgan Harrington back in 2009. Why he says both these cases should bring a new sense of resolve to this community. In charlottesville, im julie car carey, news4. It may take longer than expected for marijuana to become legal in the district. Even if voters give it the go ahead next month. Residents will get to vote on election day, a recent nbc marist poll found theyre likely to approve it. But the d. C. Council may put the brakes on legalization, at least for a little while. Councilman david grosso, who is one of the biggest supporters of the legalizing pot, tells the Washington Post, hell introduce legislation to delay the implementation of initiative 71. That so the council can craft regulations that allow for the sale and taxation of pot. Grosso says that could take until late 2015. All right. What is heading our way . We have had a drizzly monday. Yeah. Looks like were not going to break out of it . Its thick out there. I think well break out during the day tomorrow, at least a little bit. But take a look outside right now. This is the current shot weve got across our area. Very dreary across our region during the day on our monday. Looks like its going to stay that way tonight and we have seen areas of drizzle or rather fog, too. Gaithersburg reporting visibility less than a mile towards la ray. Visibility less than a quarter mile. Heads up as your make out and about. 68 degrees, the dew point at 62. Any time the dew point and temperatures are close to one another, thats when you know a. , you can see some rain. But b. , you can see some fog and thats what were seeing across our region right now. Only 63 degrees in gaithersburg, 63 in baltimore. 71 in patuxent river. And west virginia, 76 degrees now. The reason, we have seen more sunshine to the west of the blue ridge. But were still seeing low clouds in that area, as well. Storm team 4 radar on the clear side. Were not going to be worried about much in the way of rain anymore tonight. Will you need the umbrellas . I really dont think so. Could be some areas of drizzle, but again most of the rain is out of here. That was with a little system that moved through earlier. That system now up towards new york. This is the bigger system, though. And this is whats moving our way. Take a look at these thunderstorms toward st. Louis, memphis. A line of storms, numerous severe thunderstorm warnings, even tornado warnings and possible tornadoes that have touched down in that area. That whole system moves our way. Lets talk about the timing of this. Future weather times it out fairly well. Tuesday, 8 00 a. M. Thats tomorrow. Some low clouds, a little in the way of fog there. But showers back to the west of the blue ridge. Thats really about it. And watch what happens just about all day. Just some cloud cover. The showers maintain themselves back towards the west. And theyre going to be few and far between. Were not looking at much in the way of rain tomorrow. Tomorrow may actually end up being a pretty nice day with some sun and much warmer temperatures. Its late on tuesday night into wednesday that we start to see things change. Look at wednesday morning. Start to see the showers moving in around the rest of the area. And then here comes not just the showers, but the rain. Some of it will be heavy at times. Well see a good chance for not only rain but thunderstorm activity too. And were talking about rain that could that could total some pretty good amounts. Veronica johnson live in the storm center now. And vj, talking about the potential for flooding. Not a huge threat here but there is a threat. Yes, there is a threat again for wednesday. Want to keep emphasizing wednesday. This is not for tomorrow. But we could see on that midweek day a handful of flash flood warnings issued. Lets talk about it. The rain is going to really start as doug mentioned, tuesday late into early wednesday morning. So not a lot when we get into things at 9 00 a. M. Wednesday. But for your wednesday evening rush and for thursday morning rush, a lot of rain will be making its way into our area. Anywhere in the blue. Thats an inch. Anywhere in the red or orange, two inches or more could fall. Hagerstown, manassas and fredericksburg and that means for that wednesday evening rush, could see ponding on area roads. Maybe even some trouble getting around. Doug . Yeah, so ill tell you, thats going to be a tough 24 hour period. Tomorrow a little break from this. I think well maybe see some sunshine tomorrow. And if we do, i think we can get up to 80 in manassas. 80 in freg. 79 in l
