We can expect. Storm team 4 meteorologist chuck bell joining us. Good morning, chuck. Good morning. Molette and adam. I would describe it as an outdoor recess kind of afternoon as the weather picture looks to be improving as the day wears along. Still a fair amount of cloud cover out there this morning but i think these clouds are more outbound than inbound. With your forecast a live picture of capitol hill this morning. Generally fair sky there. The weather impact on your sunday will be relatively low. Theres still plenty of clouds around but not much if anything in the way of a rain threat. Storm team 4 radar bears that out. No rain in the viewing area first thing this morning. Temperatures generally in the 60s this morning. Mid to upper 60s are. A pleasant enough start. A beautiful picture for sure. Cloudy, still lingering damnepns this morning, highs in the upper 70s and low 80s and no chance for Severe Weather today. See you with the seven day in a few minutes. Police are looking for the person who shot and killed a man in okton hills. The deadly shooting happened at the townhomes on glass manor drive not far from the d. C. Line. Police checked for a shooting. They found a man suffering from a gunshot wound and he was pronounced dead on the scene. New this morning a man was shot in temple hills maryland on good hope avenue and the man then ran to the metro station. You can see Metro Transit Police and county police went there. The man is in serious condition in the hospital right now. Police say he is expected to survive. Right now, you cant drive on part of h street in northeast d. C. The road is shut down for an emergency drill about the new d. C. Street car. Police, fire and ems are practicing what to do if the street car derails. Youll see them between 12th and 13th streets in northeast and youll have to use i or g streets to get around. You can also expect parking will be limited around there. Everything should be open again before noon. In the day ahead, your bus schedule could change. Metro is adding new longer busses and changing some of its routes. Expect changes on some s routes along the 16th street corridor and on the 70 route along Georgia Avenue in d. C. Metro is adding more 60 foot busses along those routes. Now the longer busses will give you more room during the morning and evening rush. Also today you can ride the new metro wave bus service in Northern Virginia. Buss have their own dedicated lanes linking the brad dock road and crystal city metro stations on route 1. Only the alexandria section is finished. The second phase should be completed by the spring. Were following a developing story in missouri for the fourth night crowds and protesters in ferguson have remained calm. The action there began early yesterday. The unrest started when a Police Officer shot and killed 18yearold Michael Brown two weeks ago. He was unarmed at the time. About 500 people marched alongside cap tan ron johnson with the missouri highway patrol. In fact, there were several generations of marchers from veterans from the 1960 Civil Rights Era to young children. Parents explained to the children the importance of what was occurring. It filled my heart and inspired all of us who were involved. We spoke in one voice of preexpression, tolerance and understanding. Police arrested six people last it in in a separate rally. Another group supported the officer who shot brown saying the shooting was justified. Tomorrow family and friends will say a final goodbye to brown. President barack obama is sending three white house leaders to the funeral. The reverend al sharpton will deliver the eulogy. The service will happen at the Friendly Temple Missionary Church in st. Louis at 11 00 a. M. Weve seen these pictures of police using armored military vehicles in ferguson during the unrest. Now president obama is ordering a review of the federal program that provides military equipment to local Police Departments. The review will look into whether the program are appropriate they will check on the Training Provided for using the equipment. Investigators will also audit the money used to buy the military equipment. Here in the district, several groups gathered to demand justice in browns death. Hands up dont shoot. Hadnts up dont shoot. Marchers gathered at Mount Vernon Square and marched into the streets of china town. Im proud to say that we saul stand against police violence. We all stand against militarization of the police. The protesters marched twice around china town and ended on the steps of the National Portrait gallery. Today the National Park service will hold a special program to remember the [ inaudible ] of washington, d. C. It happened during the war of 1812. The british burned the white house that day. You can head to the ellipse south of the white house at 11 00 and 3 00 to see a replica of the flag that inspired the star spangled banner. Coming up this morning we have a tropical system doing some damage. This is one to watch as it moves north. Well get chucks outlook right after the break. Chuck also has the outlook as you get the kids off to the bus stop tomorrow. His backtoschool and work forecast coming up next. Right now a tropical depression is heading for the bahamas and its growing bigger. Take a look at your tv. You can see all the rain dumped there causing widespread flooding in puerto rico. The storm also cut power to more than 3,000 people. I know chuck is watching all of whats going on. You bet. And how this storm is tracking. Yeah. Absolutely. Because statistically speaking september 4th is the peak of Hurricane Season. Yeah. Typically right around the time of labor day is when you need to be most on alert for these type of systems. What does that mean like midway through . Right at the middle point . Yep. Hurricane season starts june 1st and ends november 30th. If you looked at it all the most number of hurricane occurrences are right around september 4th. Were getting ready to move into the peak of Hurricane Season and, of course, it always corresponds with labor day. We will have to watch this very, very carefully. Im cautiously optimistic this thing is going to stay off the east coast of the u. S. Theres a long way between now and the time this thing leaves our latitude. Outside on your sunday morning, not a bad looking sky out there at all. A lot brighter picture than yesterday was. Thats for sure. I still am a little bit nervous about our east wind and east to northeast wind around here typically does not make for a very clear sky, but so far so good. I think that well have a bit of a sunshine challenge late this morning up to about early this afternoon and the farther west you live or travel out towards the blue ridge and Shenandoah Valley youre probably going to have the clouds a little bit longer. For now a gorgeous picture over washington. 69 degrees at national airport. Theres that northeasterly wind, 9 Miles Per Hour and temperatures have cooled below the 70 degrees mark everywhere. 62 now in hagerstown. Winchester and front royal 64 degrees. Your hourly temperature chart, on the up and up today. We should be stuck in the 60s here through about 8 00 or 9 00 this morning and again the more clouds you see outside of your window right now the longer youll stay in the 60s. Most of the day, though, will be in the 70s. Not bad by august standards at all. I think partly to montgomery countily mostly cloudy at 1 00. It will become a beautiful afternoon and a gorgeous evening so if youre making your plans to go on outside and have dinner tonight it will be Outdoor Dining at dinner time for sure. Temperatures in the 70s under a clearing sky. Mild and dry. Back to school, kids, yes, indeed. The mall all to myself during the afternoons shortly. Mid to upper 60s are for bus stop weather first thing tomorrow morning. Comfortably cool. No reason for a jacket and no rain threat for the first whole week of school. Heres the tropical system now. Theres puerto rico where you saw the video from. This could become Tropical Storm cristobal over the next 24 hours. The Hurricane Center keeping a close eye on it. By tuesday its going to be just due east of the bahamas and miami florida. By wednesday due east of about Cape Canaveral. This is where it gets interesting. I shouldnt say all, the consensus of the model forecasts now is for this thing to make a right turn. But anywhere inside that cone has to be watched carefully. That does still include the outer banks as a possibility. So this is going to have to be watched very, very carefully. Otherwise, for us, an improving weather picture today and once were done with the clouds today, we may not have a cloudy sky again until next weekend. Well worry about that next weekend. For now everything is great. I havent seen a sevenday forecast with this much sunshine on it in a long time. Looking great. Temperatures well below average today and tomorrow. Near average tuesday. We might do three 90s in a row for only like the third time this summer. Wow. Yes. Incredible when you talk about how few 90 degree days weve had. Not complaining. Thank you. All right. Next up is reporters notebook. A look at stories affecting our community. Thats right. Were back in 15 minutes with more of the mornings top stories. Good morning, everybody. Im jim handly. Rm to reporters notebook. A lot to get to. Lets start out in virginia and this week back mcdonnell took the stand in his own defense. Any bomb shells and do you think hes having any success trying to paint this picture of a marriage in trouble that they couldnt have conspired all along the way in what has become this Corruption Case . Well, we now know that he has said that he is not living with his wife. In fact, he is living apparently with his parish priest, who happens, as i understand it, i believe this is correct, was his great friend of his at notre dame when they went there. And they bonded before the trial. This is part of the defense issue that they werent that close, their marriage was in trouble, how could they conspire . Against that is are charges, you know, he was governor, hes the leader of the state, he should have known more. That seems to be where we are on that issue. It just seems now its become an open therapy session in many ways and were watching it and the public is seeing it. It could be embarrassing and it probably is embarrassing to the mcdonnells, but my guess is what theyre betting on, its embarrassing, but is it something is it a crime . Is it a crime that i dont i cant remember what my wife was doing. Our relationship is so bad. Shes sort of this person who mentally may be a bit unstable. His sister is saying this. So i think for Maureen Mcdonnell this has been harsh, its been difficult and im surprised she will not take the stand, if only to sort of defend her character at this point. Scandal 101. What can i sna its very, very unfortunate this bad marriage has to be played out in public like it has. The former governor has said what he did for this businessman is what he would have done for anybody who wanted access to the government. But yet, for government opportunities. But yet, you know, he did not know or hes claiming he didnt know his wife was doing. And thats not unusual. Even in good marriages. Those things can happen. We saw some of the first witnesses that the defense brought out, the defense brought out were all building up Bob Mcdonnell as boy scout, no one more honest, id work for him again and it seems as though the former first lady has been thrown under the bus in recent weeks. Is there any risk in that, you know, where shes painted out to be the villain in all of this . I think you have something thats not being talked about here and it could be sort of a gender issue because we have sort of the crazy wife that we dont know anything going on where we have a governor thats a male in control of the state but yet this wife it can harken back, weve had these issues when Hillary Clinton whiz first lady, whether or not she was being demonized. I think thats sort of a story that isnt being talked about much but that could be an issue here that it could sort of go too far with that in demonizing Maureen Mcdonnell. Op the law itself, as ive said several times before on this program, what is the quid pro quo process . Whats the quo for the quid pro . What did he do that violated virginia law where you may take huge sums of money apparently and at least right now thats not a serious crime in virginia. In other words, what did he do . And so far, people that Court Watchers ive talked to say theyre wondering if the prosecution has made that case. Sounds like at this point, exactly. One more quick point, remember mcdonnell says on the stand that anyone who cannot take money from a donor and then turn around and vote against that donors interest does not belong in politics or this business. Hes saying i can take money from Jonnie Williams but i dont have to do his bidding if im a good politician. I think that is an interesting point that he made on the stand. Lets stay in virginia and the issue of samesex marriage. 11th hour, expected 11th hour decision from the Supreme Court to put on hold gay marriages and it came the day before many people were getting prepared, courthouses were getting prepared. What is the future for that hold . Whats the next step and how long will some people have to wait in virginia . I think thats an undetermined period of time. We dont know. The Supreme Court is going to have to make a decision and we dont know how long it will take for them to make that decision. These kinds of appeals are coming up all across the country and i think that those folks in virginia just are going to have to hold on and wait until it could take up to a year. Yeah. The thinking seems to be come in and stay these decisions where they permitted gay marriages to go ahead and when we get enough of them or when they come to a critical mass, it goes to the court and the court makes a decision on the basic issue. Seems to be from the people ive talked to that watch the court closely seems to be the strategy at this point. Attorney general is saying that the ban is unconstitutional but again he wants it to go to the Supreme Court. He doesnt want these marriages taking place and you have to go back and roll those back. Mcauliffe the governor has said this is sort of a temporary delay of the inevitable. At least from the leader of the state, hes seeing this as something im assuming hes thinking the Supreme Court is going to rule in favor of the ban being unconstitutional in virginia. That was my question. You raised the word inevitable. Do we see it as inevitable there . Litigants want this to go to the court most that im aware of. They want this court to make the final decision and this is the prelude to all of that. All right. Weve got a lot more to get to. Were going into the district and in Prince Georges County and maryland as a whole when we come right back on reporters notebook. Stay with us. Welcome back to reporters notebook. Lets move back into the district and talk a little bit about an important endorsement from the fraternal order of place to David Catania independent for mayor. How much will this help, make a difference and was it a surprise that the police union endorsed him . Well, im not sure how much of a surprise it was. Carol schwartz might have been surprised. She thought she shed get it and has gotten their endorsement in the past for other offices. Catania is very happy. Doesnt hurt to have the fop behind you. The question is will it dissuade voters who wonder about catanias temperament to be mayor, he shoots from the lips sometimes, is very well organized, stands well on the issues in many peoples views, but does he have the substantive if you will to really take issues one at a time and not fly off the handle. A lot of people say thats unfair hp pe says himself hes changed. Lately hes had a fairly quiet tenure where he is. Remains to be seen. Whats working against him, bowser has pretty much all of organized labor behind her. His way to say i have a little here. Theres 3600 and they dont necessarily vote in one block. I think its more it looks good for him to at least get some support from organized labor. Again how effective that will be, you know, will depend on if you can get them all out to vote and get the 3600 to vote for you, at least at a majority. Maybe that makes a difference in a close race. Right now doesnt look like its that close. I would say it probably doesnt help that much either. Simply because the 3600 dont live in the district. Thats a good point. Good point. The numbers that may vote in the district may wont be significant enough i think to really get him the kind of return that hes looking for. Of course, an endorsement is a an endorsement. Its meaningful. To the point of kattcatanias personality, one of the things i have noticed among voters in the district of columbia, many of them like that temperament. Yeah. And they feel as though if theres an issue that someones going to be a bull dog about, they know that catania will be that person as it relates to their interest. If hes changed, there may be some voters who are end up being unhappy about that. But, you know, hes they like ta personality. And you say its not close now. How do we know that and which way is it swinging . Obviously if we just look at the numbers in terms of democrat versus independent, it helps him that hes independent and not republican. But when you have the city thats 75 a democratic, she just really has to get out the vote. If she gets out the vote she should take it. We talked about this last week. I believe her goal here now is she really has to slow walk this down. If catania is going to have a shot it may be in the debates, put bowser on the spot, get her to commit to certain issue, explain certain things, talk about the 20,000 in terms of this h
