But we do have more cloud cover approaching and that will move in after noon. So well still have a good amount of sunshine at noon. 74 degrees at 9 00. 82 at noon. And then 86degrees at 5 00. The pest threat for thunderstorms will be today between healthcare and 8 00 but we 4 00 and 8 00 but we could see a thunderstorm as early as about 1 00 this afternoon. Well see that all on 9 futurecast in just a moment. Right now, it is 70 degrees in leesburg and manassas. 73 still in fredericksburg. But its 66 in gaithersburg and its 67 in hagerstown. On our satellite and radar imagery, you can see that its cluster of thunderstorms have moved through during the early evening hours yesterday moved out pretty quickly. No widespread event. Today is a different story. Notice that the stream of moisture isnt just with this system thats moving through West Virginia right now. But there are more rain and thunderstorm clusters well to the west and northwest and thats going to continue to stream toward us as we head through today and even tonight. On 9 futurecast by noon already seeing some showers and thunderstorms popping to the west of the beltway. Possibly some intense rainfall. You can see the clusters of thunderstorms indicated in yellow right near andrews and heading into anne arundel county. And also down toward orange. That would be a part of the evening commute. It could also be in the beltway. So keep that in mind that this might affect your plans to head out of town or if youre heading down to shore. There could be some showers and thunderstorms down there as well as we head into tonight. Some more showers arriving in the overnight hours. You can see some showers popping here on the beltway at 9 00 p. M. Tonight. And then saturday, starts out wet. You can see all this rain moving through at 7 30 in the morning on saturday. But things start to clear out in the afternoon. Well see some breaks in the cloud cover and the green little spots that you see here on 9 futurecast, i think are an indication of just that moisture were going to have at the surface. We get those little popup cumulus clouds bubbling up and thats generally just a fair weather kind of pattern. That happens on saturday afternoon and continues on sunday. Forecast high for today 86 in manassas and 87 in downtown washingtoned and in fredericksburg. 83 westminster and 83 in hagerstown. Overnight tonight, very similar to what we have out there right now. Well drop down to 71 in manassas and in downtown washington. 71 in fredericksburg. 68 in hagerstown and 68 in martinsburg and winchester as well. As i mentioned down the shore, things could get active especially on saturday. I think were going to have the scattered showers in the forecast it looks like a pretty dreary day in ocean city on saturday but sunday will be back to the sunshine. Bethany beach pretty much the same deal. A high of 7 on sunday with all the sunshine after a kind of unsettled saturday. With a high of 75. So back here in the metro, we have those few showers in the forecast on saturday. Back to green alert because it doesnt look to be a huge impact on your plans. Partly sunny on sunday. With a high of 82. Beautiful weather on sunday and then monday and tuesday, still looking great. Highs in the mid 80s with lots of sunshine and dont bring back the threat for thunderstorms until next thursday of the workweek. Thats a look at the first alert seven day and time again for timesaver traffic. Olga take it away. Its taking a lot of time for folks headed northbound on i95. These are the dramatic delays. Im calling this a double whamny because look we have problems both in the hov lanes and in the main lanes. So chopper sky 9 chopper is over the scene. Basically the accident off to the left hand side is in the main lanes thats northbound near the Fairfax County parkway. Thats blocking two right lanes and rescue crews are on the scene. Then in the hov lanes, we have a single accident. Thats blocking the Left Shoulder causing delays there. So very very tough trip northbound. The delays here on i95 already past route 1 making your way up to the scene. So its going to be a while its going to be a tough go if this is part of your morning commute. Now it looks like things are flowing fairly well for us as we are heading to our traffic maps. We do have a couple of incidents to tell you about. We talked about the traffic incident in northbound on i 95 and thats where the slowing traffic here is in yellow. Up toward the top of the beltway where you still dealing with our incident which is basically complicating the ride as youre making your way on 236. Thats the little river turnpike as we head i should say king street as we head on in towards 3935. The shirlington area. Still dealing with some power lines town there and thats causing a problem as well. Elsewhere though, i95 at the Woodrow Wilson bridge is looking fairly good right now. We have a moderate pace but so far its flowing very very well. No delays from st. Barnabas road headed to the bridge. From the maryland side also looking good from the van dorn and the oxen hower connector area on the virginia side heading down into old town and route 1 to come if virginia into maryland from virginia into maryland. Now for the view on the top of the beltway, weve been monitoring things over here by New Hampshire avenue. So far the pace has been brisk were starting to build in a little bit more volume. We are seeing some delays from Silver Spring headed into the bethesda bu7att it looks like the inner loop lanes are just fine from the American Legion bridge all the way around toward greenbelt. Oh and two things to tell you about. Penn line 505, 10 to 15 minute delay and the camden line has a 10 to 15 minute delay. Wow. That is an ugly picture. Yeah really. It is an you amazing motorcycle is it an amazing motorcycle stunt or just some clever editing . Jeanne moos shows us the video and checks with some experts, you decide. Reporter this is the story of a biker who lands on his feet or is it too much of a feat to believe . The bmw screen right is about to switch lanes and get rammed by a motorcycle on a highway supposedly in belarus. Biker sticks his landing and stays there until the car comes to a stop and he gets off. Millions of people have viewed this clip and leaving comments like imagine if the sunroof were open. Of course smart aleck i can commenters started scoring the accident as if it were some kind of gymnastics routine. Ill give him a 10 for the landing but the rotations were a little sloppy. 5 deduction for not having his toes pointed. One poster summed up his reaction with a quip from tommy boy that was awesome reporter but naysayers were adamant. This video is faker than my rolex. And expert on Digital Forensics told cnn i believe that this is indeed a forgery. He cited ringing artifacts and visual noise around the biker. Said the biker and the motorcycle had most likely been pasted in from a different video. But a respected newspaper in belarus reported the crash of a suzuki bike going 50 miles an hour. Saying the biker was incredibly lucky. Theres one guy whose opinion should carry a little extra weight. After all, hes been there. On a car roof. He was wearing a helmet cam while riding his motorcycle last summer in florida when he rear ended a car that had slowed. After the car stopped rolling. Good get the bike off me . Oh my leg might be broken. Reporter turned out it wasnt broken. His reaction to the biker who appears to land on his feet . That video was great. I dont doubt etc. Legitimacy for a second. I bet he was left with nothing more than bumps and bruises just like me. New bikers manage today raise the managed the raise the roof on the internet by landing like a cat on a hot tin car roof. Jeanne moos, cnn, new york. I dont know. I think the video that initially started this story is a fake. Obviously the other guy seems real. But what do you think . He has the go pro on. You know its like you see the stunts in the movie. It could be Something Like that. Something about the way just a guess, something about the way his body flips doesnt look like its right. But anyway. Maybe if it wasnt an accident. Maybe it was just a stunt. Could be. Could be. All right, enough of that. We want to save you some money and do wit getting you cheaper gas prices on in friday morning. Were tracking prices in waldorf, maryland with the help of aaas fuel finder, a couple of stations are selling regular unleaded for 3. 24 a gallon including the what what on mckendry road.
