The owner says she gets the names of children who have trouble with haircuts because of autism or for any other reason and then she is it whatever she can to help them. They might have to come visit five or six times just to say hello before you actually cut their hair. Her son zeke was diagnosed with autism when and he was year and a half old.

Lets check in with chuck bell. If you saw the blossoms this past saturday or sunday, that was the peak. Rain drops this morning and wind late her today may do quite a bit of damage to the cherry trues out there. Not damage to the trees, but pulling off a lot of petals up to. Ou the view from our tower. All rain soaked and covered up in fog and rain drops this morning. Visibility not too bad. No advisories for a thick fog, but just know that with the raindrops out there this morning, there is reduced visibility. Roads may be slippery because of all the raindrops. Mod the rat rain frederick, maryland to leesburg and warrington and all coming eastbound. So the rain is going nowhere in the short term. There are Little Pockets of dryness out here in the southern shenandoah, but i dont think that will last. The cold front is still out here across central west virginia. As that moves its way true, its about six hours from reaching i95, that puts it on i95 somewhere around lunchtime, future weather not doing a good job of picking up the rains early this morning. But by 1 00 today, i think this is pretty accurate. Last of the rain chances as the front goes in to Southern Maryland between 1 00, 2 00 this afternoon. Clearing out rapidly once the rain comes to an end. Winds could be in that 20 to 30mileanhour range. So that will pull down some blossoms, as well. And then breezy sunshine for tomorrow. So most of the rain threat today is before lunchtime. Tomorrow, wednesday look nice, but more rain chances thursday afternoon and friday. Good news, hoe, fthough for the weeke weekend, saturday mostly sunny, temperatures near average around 63. Sunday breezy and highs back down into the 50s. But by the time we get to next weekend, all those cherry petals will be down on the grounds. Melissa mollett, how are the roads holding up . Right now were okay. Taking a live look top of the beltway at colesville road moving along just fine. We wont have chopper up for you today because of the weather.

Eastbound southeast southwest freeway before potomac park, all lanes now open. A live look at 66 coming up. Weve learned the teen shot and killed at the Deanwood Metro station this weekend was a ninth greater at the Largo High School. Davonte washington was with his family on the way to get a haircut for easter when they say a gunman asked him a question and shot him. His family says metro needs more security and police at their station. There was no Police Officer in the station nowhere. My daughter says shes running looking for help and there is no one in sight. Metros Board Chairman and d. C. Councilman jack evans says he is confident they will catch a suspect. Surveillance is among the best in the country, so i think its little known fact that if you commit a crime in or around metro, we have a good record catching everybody. In the meantime grief counselors will be e on hand a Largo High School to help students and staff.
