Muhammad ali being remembered tonight as a boxer who redefines stardom and a symbol of silent grace in the face of parkinsons. Tributes are pouring in from around the country and the globe. Reporter tributes to muhammad alis extraordinary life came from all corners. A champion in the ring. A hero beyond the ring. Reporter Paul Mccartney remembered a beautiful gentle man with a great sense of human. Michael j fox who also battles parkinsons called him a warrior his daughter mourned the loss of a humble mountain. Here at Madison Square garden where ali had two epic fights with joe fraser the sign honoring him simply as the greatest. Reporter George Forman told 48 hours what it was like to trade punches with ali. Youd good etin to the ring and you werent fighting a boxer. You werent fighting a slugger. You were having to contend with the presence of one of the greatest human beings ive ever met in my life. Reporter in a statement president obama called ali a man who fought for us. He stood with king and mandela, stood up when it was hard, spoke out when others didnt. He started as one of the most despised and hated men in the country. And our children need to know the real story. Everybody was not on our side. Reporter basketball great kareem abduljabbar, who also faced criticism for his conversion to islam, counted ali as a mentor. I may never felt taller than when standing in his shadow. The city of louisville will say goodbye to their beloved champion on friday. A private ceremony set for thursday followed by a friday morning service. Both of those events are for family only. A family spokesperson says next week alis motorcade will travel throughout the streets of louisville. So people can pay their respects to the greatest of all time. And tonight were learning that Billy Crystal and president bill clinton will deliver eulogies at an Interfaith Service friday afternoon that will be open to the public and it will also be streamed. Flags are flying at half staff in kentucky tonight. A make shift memorial is growing out the Muhammad Ali Center in his hometown. People have been flocking to the center and leaving cards and flowers since his death was announced. His accomplishment stretched all around the country. And ali left his reporter the greatest fought at the Old Capitol Center in landover twice. This is a flier from a 1976 fight where he beat jimmy young to retain his heavyweight title. Later alis battle with parkinsons became the fight of his life. He was the most famous person to battle the disease. Muhammad did not want people to concentrate on his illness. He wanted them to see muhammad, not parkinsons. He never was one for selfpity. Reporter he fought on capitol hill for money for a cure. He returned in washington in 2005 to receive the president ial medal of freedom from president george bush. And in 2009 to receive the president ial citizens medal from president bill clinton. Despite all of his accomplishments, there was a time when it was hard to imagine muhammad ali becoming the beloved figure he is today. For the champ, it was a long is not easy. Muhammad ali paid the price for greatness. He was hated. He was maligned. He was berated. Reporter rock newman says what ali did in the ring attracted eyes, but what he did outside the ring attracted hearts and minds. Youll hear me talk very little about his boxing. No athlete ever in history has had the kind of reach, the kind of impact, the kind of influence that ali has. To stand up, to be somebody, to claim your greatness, to claim your dignity, to claim your man and womanhood. Reporter even here at urban boxing dc, its not the jabs and quick feet, right hooks and championship belts that ali is remembered for. We all took a lot, whether you boxed or not. He was a tremendous fighter but he really became the greatest when he showed his social consciousness. Reporter ali may have at times seemed like a not serious character, merely in search of the spotlight, but newman says he was in search for so much more. He had a childlike wonder and a childlike heart, and a beautiful spirit. But he was a socially conscious revolutionary. A muslim saying that i am the greatest in a time when tolerance there was no tolerance. Reporter in the 1960s, that was daring. Today, thats a legacy. You have to be proud of who you are. Not only do you have to be proud but you have to understand how to love, how to devote and really how to be passionate. Thats what warmed the people of the worlds heart i think to him eventually. Reporter and in the end, the people were in his corner. In the district, wusa 9. At the Smithsonian Museum of American History boxing fans from across the country came to see boxing gloves. The gloves and robe were donated to the museum in 1976 as part of a bicentennial exhibit. Ali used the gloves and robe while training for his 1974 rumble in the jungle fight against george former in ziair. He over took the media. He was a champ. Boxing will never be the same. Our mom was telling us this morning about how he changed his name and the two of us, we had no clue he had so much history behind him and it was really cool to see how big of a hero he really was. This fall visitors to the National Museum of african American History and culture will be able to see a pair of leather practice gloves signed by ali in 1964 that ready cassius clay, best heavy waict in the world. We caught up best heavyweight in the world. We caught up with local fighters to see how he influenced them. Muhammad ali was my generations floyd mayweather. If you didnt know anything about boxing, you knew muhammad ali, float like a butterfly, sting like a bee. He motivated me to work hard in the gym. He motivated a lot of us young fighters. When he passed away, i was just in shock because i look up to him. He was a great boxer and i want to be just like him one day. Muhammad ali was just 12 years old when he began training for his own boxing career. He won his first heavyweight championship 10 years later. Local islamic leaders gathered at the nations mosque in northwest washington today to remember ali as one of their own. Speaking to reporters, they reflected on what alis accomplishments in life meant to the Muslim Community. We would not have been able to achieve the impact that this organization and the building of the Muslim Community in north america without the help of the leaders like muhammad ali. He was a bridge between the African American muslims and the muslims coming from Different Countries as immigrants. As a mother, on a more personal note, im going to definitely refer to muhammad ali as a role model to my kids. He really truly was the example of a true american success sorry. His life emulated what it meant to be american and muslim. Other islamic leaders said not only was muhammad ali an american hero, he was also a great humanitarian. Social media has been on fire since word of alis death. Heres what some people are saying tonight. Ice cube rest in peace, muhammad ali, the greatest. Sean says rest in peace, muhammad ali. The world still has much to learn from the legacy you left behind. And gary says the world has lost one of the greatest men to walk the earth. Your legend will live on. If youre looking for more muhammad ali memories and quotes, all those quotes, go to our wusa 9 app. The champ once shared how hed like to be remembered. Quote, id like to be remembered as a man who won the heavyweight title three times, who was humorous and treated everyone right. As a man who never looked down on those who looked up to him. Who helped as many people as he could. As a man who stood up for his beliefs no matter what. As a man who tried to unite all humankind through faith and love. And if all thats too much, then i guess ill settle for being remembered only as a great boxer who became a leader and champio and i wouldnt even mind if folks forget how pretty i was. Great man. In other news tonight, metro is closing at midnight, and its not just an inconvenience. Its putting a dent in peoples wallets. One bartender says the price for him to get home after work could go up ten fold. Matt is live at dupont circle. His friends call him lou lou. He works in the morgan neighborhood. Dupont circle is his closest metro stop. What do you do here . I bartend, security, bar back. Reporter he makes minimum wage plus tips. His busy time is at midnight. He says its a 3 ride on metro for him to get to his home in northeast. Now ive got to catch a lyft or uber or taxi which is between 20 and 17 a night. Does that count for the surcharges . Thats without the surcharges. Reporter some nights the surcharge can cost riders this means lou lou could have to pay around 50 to get home. Anybody who works late hours, theyre the ones who are going to suffer a little bit more. You going to call it quits early . I take lyft or uber or ride my bike so im not worried about it. I have my bike parked outside. Reporter other riders arent thrilled. I guess i go to bed before midnight now. Or we have to uber. Reporter metro is closing early and delayed because workers are repairing pieces of infrastructure like cross ties, fasteners, and insulators between the East Falls Church and boston stops. This is stage one of metros safety surge. Workers tell us its going well. Stage 2 will begin around june 18th and will require multiple stops to be closed including the stop lou lou gets off to go home. Thank you. Lou lou said hes willing to make the right. Still ahead tonight on wusa 9, a stormy sunday is on the way. Howard has what you need to know when we come back. In paris the river remains above average, stilling in to the streets. Several landmarks were forced to closed as the river surged to its highest level in nearly 35 years. French Authorities Say the water level has started to decrease but they warned it could take up to 10 days for the river to return to normal levels. Heavy rains there, heavy rains here. Yeah. I know its going to be bad when you start running around this place. We talked about this for a couple days, how sunday was going to be an active day. We believe tomorrow is going to be an active day. If we get under a warning, that means youve got to take some action. Happy to tell you that todays forecast high was 84. Had extra clouds but we still managed to get to 82. 16 of the last 85 is my forecasted high for tomorrow. 3degree guarantee. Tonight im tracking all sorts of showers and storms to the southwest. Here in dc we didnt have any rain today. We had some well west of us, in the mountains of western maryland. Harrisonburg has been hit several times. Heavy flooding rains. Notice a couple showers earlier in to fredericksburg. Theyve fallen apart. Heres harrisonburg. Theres a little bit of lightning between them. A Flood Warning in effect from shenandoah down toward grato. That goes to 12 15. Watch out for high water. And farther to the south, a lot of lightning early. Not as much right now. Just to the north of charlottesville where theyve got a Flood Warning going till 1 30. It looks like its going to try to get closer to us during the overnight. Those areas till 5 a. M. Sunday. Culpeper to fredericksburg west. Flood watch in effect. Tomorrow we may be seeing other watches posted, not just Severe Weather. Heres my c damaging winds are the more likely scenario in any strong thunderstorms than hail or a tornado. Isolated threat for a tornado but damaging wind gusts, the bigger concern. And heavy rains, potential flooding in some of those slow moving thunderstorms. I think over the same areas. We could get 2 inches or more rain in a few spots. Ground is still fairly saturated. Very muggy night. Most of you in the low 70s. Rain cooled 60s in parts of the shenandoah valley. Its a really humid atmosphere out there. Not bad on the michael son weather cam. Humidity way up. In the west, sizzling heat. Earliest phoenix has ever gotten to 115. In the south, across areas of the gulf coast, this upper storm keeps pumping all this moisture northward in to louisiana and the deep south. This is coming our way. Part number is up there in the midwest. This thing spinning across wisconsin. Strong upper level dynamics are going to combine with the how much and squeeze out strong storms tomorrow. Well look at the futurecast. These storms going to try to make it in to dc or points south overnight. Early shower sunday. Not bad middle of the day. If we see sunshine, that will help further destabilize the atmosphere, the energy. Threat for showers and storms as we get in to the mid to late afternoon. Maybe around dinnertime in the metro. Heavy, heavy downpours till 8 00, 9 00 then drier air moves in overnight in to monday morning. Tonight scattered showers and storms. 66 to 72. Could have heavy downpours if you get hit with one of those. Tomorrow morning, early shower. 71 to 81. Yellow weather alert. Hopefully not a red weather alert. Well watch this carefully. Mid to upper 80s. As we head toward monday, much but dryer. Less humid. 87. Tuesday may an afternoon shower. 85. Wednesday and thursday, can you take a couple days off .

Muhammad ali was one of the most famous people on earth. He was a boxing great, activist, a true legend. Hes gone now, but he will never be forgotten. Reaction of his passing via social media today. Former heavyweight champion mike tyson tweeting, god came for his champion. So long, great one. Tiger woods tweeted, youll always be the greatest. More than just what you did in the ring. A champion to so many people in so many ways. How about f quarterback rg3 chiming in . The greatest inspired us all to believe in ourselves and to take risks. Lets make him proud. No matter what age or generation, you knew who muhammad ali was and the impact he had. No different right here in dc. He set the benchmark. He was one of the pioneers to start giving back and really sticking up for what you believe in and speaking out against the things you dont agree with. So things have evolved since the time he was doing it way back then, but hes the godfather of it all. Hes done a lot of great things where its not one thing that stands out. Its the whole career, whole life time of boxing, off the boxing ring, things that he did so that was the most impressive thing was off the boxing ring. Out of the boxing almost like a little kid, in awe really. You dont know what to say. And you hope that he was able to talk. Especially when he was younger. He did most of the talking and he did most of the talking. In the local boxing community, certainly the passing of ali is felt. A top ranked welterweight here in dc. The impact of muhammad ali passing away will be felt throughout the boxing world, including my next fight, june 11th, Madison Square garden, im pretty sure well do a tribute. I have ties to muhammad ali in that situation. Like i said, its a sad day in the world of boxing. The world pretty much in general. To baseball. So far this season when Stephen Strasburg takes to the mound, theyrenb other ideas in cincinnati. Reds outfielder adam duvall played with muhammad alis son and wouldnt you know, after a rain delay, duvall crashes the shot to left off nats pitcher sean kelly and thats the game winner. Reds win 63. Before the game, duvall talked about seeing muhammad ali at louisville. Playing at the university of louisville on the baseball team, he came around frequently with his son being on the team and seeing his presence in the stands was pretty awesome because you know what kind of thgure he is to the city and to e nation, to the world.
