President obama is promising to help the iraqi people fight against the terror group known as isis. She has plan is to authorize targeted air strikes if iraq. During the announcement the president made a thing abundantly clear. This doesnt mean war. Nikki burdine is here with more on what it does mean. The good morning nikki. Reporter thats right. America is coming to help. Thats what the president said last night when he announced aid for the iraqi people as well as action. But he was very adamant about one thing. There will not be combat boots on the ground. The militant group isis is said to be headed to a city where american diplomats and u. S. Military are serving. Meanwhile thousands of members of a small religious sect are also trapped on a mountain surrounded by militants. Those militants are threatening to kill them unless they convert to islam. These people are also in danger of dying of starvation or thirst. Part of the president s plan includes food and water drops to help those people. But before the announcement protestors from all over the country gathered outside the white house and the promise the president made was exactly what they wanted to hear. When we face a situation like we do on that mountain, with innocent people facing the prospect of violence on a horrific scale, when we have a mandate to help in this case a request from the iraqi government, and when we have the unique capabilities to help avert a massacre, then i believe the United States of america cannot turn a blind eye. Reporter the president said air drops are already underway and he is prepared for air strikes to stop what he now calls a potential act of genocide. Back to you. Nikki thank you.

Bernard pierce and forset will have to pick up the slack for rice when he serves that two game suspension the first two regular season games. Pierce scored thats the good news and he did fumble in the Second Quarter. He recovered his own ball though. Forset had seven first half touches and he fumbled in the Second Quarter leading to a turnover. But San Francisco did not capitalize. It was a decent night for the run game. It looked good from the sideline for the most part. But you know, so we were running the ball down little and its a start. Hill and its a start. But its just one day. We have to build on top of it. We went out there the first drive, joe and all of us and you know we executed. But when we came out, the same level of execution came in.

Well have more of your responses can the correct answer a2 well, we are singing during the commercial break because were happy its the weekend. Its 6 19 here on a friday morning and howard youre saying the weekend is not a washout . No, no, around here, if youre going down to the carolinas theyre going to have a lot more showers than here eastern parts of southern virginia but overall more bark than bite with the clouds mixing with the sunshine and you know we start the weekend on a pretty good photothis friday morningment note this friday morning. Iselle is making landfall in hawaii. The radar leer and it looks like its moving more to the northwest right now north of hilo. Now it could be raining more to the west side of the islands you got to remember it is up here. Its a 14,000foot tall volcano. So this is interrupting the circulation thats why iselle is weakening. So its also got some upper level wind sheer thats warning in effect for the northern and northeastern section of the big island of hawaii. You get heavier rain and also heavier flooding and potential with rock and mudslides too. So this certainly has to be watched. And just to give you the perspective on the rest of the island chain, as this is forecast to move off for the west. Again i think it looks like to the jogging to the northwest and hopefully it stays south because if it stays south then most of the rest of the island chain doesnt get the winds that the big islands going to get and they dont get the rain either. But the storm forecast to weaken to 60 miles an hour by 8 00 friday morning. Hawaii time. And by friday evening 45 and look, well, well south of the islands. Those cities over there. And then just going out toward the west. Were looking at a pretty decent day around here with the mix of sun and clouds. Were starting in the 50s and 60s in most areas. Upper 70s near 80 by lunchtime. With highs in the mid 80s today and that cloudiness at times will be high clouds. Could give us the overcast. Other times it will be mostly sunny. What feels good though this morning is the dry air in place and you can see it here before i put the dew points on. Nosing down in toward Garrett County with the dew points dipping into the 40s in spots. Our dew points are still in the 50s with the humid stuff southern Virginia North carolina. And under that dry air, look weve got 40s in many areas in western pennsylvania this morning. Locally were still 70 in town but 66 along the bay and 68 at north beach. That keeps them warmer but look north and west, mid 50s from lovettsville its 59 in warrenton this morning. Reston dipped the 58 and its 63 in alexandria. So our michael son weather camera little cloud bank here blocking the sunrise this morning. Its 70degrees and mostly sunny at Reagan National officially. We do see this area of rotation, this is low pressure. This is all moving to the east and throwing some clouds our way and eventually we may get a stray shower out of that west of 81 this afternoon. At beach look at this forecast for the next three days. Upper 70s the next few days and could be a shower monday. But overall, thats pretty good looking forecast. Around here, the mix of clouds and sun through the weekend. With a chance of a shower west today. 86. Could see a shower over the weekend nothing terrible but better chances south and west of washington. Mid 80s for highs. Next week, i think monday wont be too bad even though theres that shower threat on the beach. Tuesday, is actually the stormier day with a high of 84. Monika . Well, if youre planning to head around town, you know and you do have to go to work in the summer and in august, boy, it is so easy to get there. Generally speaking. I mean look at 270. No red at all from gaithersburg to rockville and bethesda. Now unfortunately were getting word of a potential pedestrian struck on Washington Grove road at town center drive. So that puts it just above i 370. So watch out for that in that area of gaithersburg. But otherwise 270 is in great shape right down the line to the split. And if youre traveling to the beltway to the American Legion bridge, youre going to be in fine shape as well. Lets take a live look outside and show you what i looks like on 270. I mean look hat that like a at that like a ghost town. In clarksburg no issues to report. River road through bethesda and the great seneca highway as well. Back over to the maps, this time and were checking out the south side of town where yeah, its a little bit slow but really not too bad from the harbor to dumfries about a nine minute drive. Once youre in lorton, newington and springfield you have the increased volume trying to get to the beltway or on 395. If youre planning to head into Tysons Corner area apparently the signal lights are on flash at International Drive at route 123 and tysons always there a bear. A bear. Thats going to be a problem.

There are no problems over any of the anacostia or Potomac River crossings. Heading into downtown, this is basically what you should expect for example here at the 14th street bridge. I love using this shot such a pretty shot. Lets go over to route 50 now if youre planning to head to the beach, as howard says a really nice weekend. Very unlike august in washington. So were in great shape if youre heading to the bay bridge, eastbound on route 50 youre going to be fine ask coming inbound right now no delays coming in from annapolis inside the beltway.
