This is what abe pollin envisioned when he built Verizon Center. A lot of people thought he was crazy. This was a very destitute part of washington, d. C.

Live in northwest, rebecca cooper, abc 7 news. Kelly thank you. Racing for a cure, up next at 11 00 stories of heartache and hope and the one startling statistic that motivated so many.

This is video of damage caused by a large tornado about a hundred miles west of dallas. One person died as the storm leveled ranches and ripped the tops off of trees. Heff i rains left some drivers stranded. Tonight tornadoes also touched down in eastern colorado and western kansas. A tough weather day. It could have been worse. The atmosphere changed at the last moment with left over clouds areas much cooler than anticipated. Some of the areas western kansas and eastern colorado getting the worst of it. Well start with this tonight the Severe Weather going on, reports of 44 tornadoes at least today. Now, luckily enough, even though unfortunately some damage and a loss of life it could have been worse. Mostly rural areas hit by the tornadoes earlier today. You could say into the fall season sometimes we get the right conditions and flooding happens, you could say fall happening. Severe weather in the way of tornado watches, current warnings, yet this is a blizzard warning. Those are winter storm warnings and Winter Weather advisorys. Oh, yes there is a tropical system churning south of here thats more summer time. All four seasons all going on at once. High temperature comparison the fourth day in a row charleston, West Virginia 90 noting we have a chance of maybe bringing 90 at some point. 83 a little higher humidity. Speaking of this tropical system well get right to ana. The system turning west of here is more of a cold front the area of low pressure going into the central and northern plains. There is ana. You can clearly see the clockwise spin here. Track its effects from saturday night at 11 00 the latest information near 70 still. Ana will only weaken from here. By monday afternoon evening going just south may enhance the moisture field. Monday is our likeliest shot for widespread showers and storms not mothers day. Just a little increase in humidity in the Bigger Picture here. Tomorrow morning may mean cloud cover. In the Bigger Picture it doesnt look like a lot of rain in the far out forecast at least from the system. We get closer and you see maybe more scattered storms to come. Tomorrow morning mild but a little more humid as well. Its going to be the counterbalance situation, cloud cover Holding Temperatures down so the higher humidity maybe doesnt feel that bad. Your rain chances holding off as well. To show it here, mostly cloudy skies. Maybe mom and some outdoor plans, maybe brunch to take in. Maybe just a little warm by afternoon. Definitely going to be humid. Rain chances very slim. Maybe widely isolated possible showers and storms. Eventually when the sun pops in the after nan widespread showers and storms monday. This was a pretty good forecast. Remember the wider view didnt look like much. From this year we have scattered thunderstorms coming in. At least likely rain day could be approaching well to the mid 80s with enough sun coming through. Well get to the tuesday forecast. Lets touch upon mothers day quickly. Again, what i just went through. Cloudy skies in the morning hours. 70. Higher humidity and 70s. Well, doesnt feel too bad. Sometimes though if your actual air temperature is closer to that dew point the humidity is kind of a little bit worse. The rain chances holding off so you can get outdoor plans in. Widespread storms monday, tuesday we could hit our first 90 of the year. Humidity would go down a little bit and its brief because the cooler air coming in drops the high temperatures to the 70s possibly the 60s. So we wont need to en we knead to enjoy the 90 while we can. A lot of great action at the Verizon Center. I hope it continues tomorrow with the caps. I mentioned it was so good it was a little weird today. If you werent happy with the caps last night cheer up because tonight was an awesome night for d. C. Sports. Well start at verizon where the truth s now the toyota sports desk brought to you by your local toyota dealers. Robert the wizards john wall was ruled out today for game three. Ramone sessions starting in his place. Came out guns blazing. Wall was so fresh and clean on the sideline. Third quarter off the rebound. Sessions with the outlet. Port other running the flar. In the open court for the slam. Wizards up 17 after that wall loving it of course. They led by as many as 21 in the fourth but the hawks come all the way back. It looks like this one might go into overtime. Its tied at 101101. The truth was with the home team. Time winding down. Paul pierce with the rock and remember folks hes a hall of famer and this is why. Wizards win game three with a bank shot. The final 103101. I thought all i had was the last night of the court when i was able to get the space and im just happy we won. We didnt want to come down to that especially with the way we played for a good 36 minutes to the Fourth Quarter but a win is a win and well take it. I wanted to get the ball in his hands and hopefully getting a switch to get a smaller guy on him which i did and he makes the shot. A big shot by a bigtime player. Robert if you thought that was something wait until you see this. Before tonight bryce harper put up five homers and 10 r. B. I. S the last two games. Get a load of this. After blowing a 61 lead harper comes to the rescue again. Bottom of the ninth, tied at 66. Drives one deep to right center. Kellye is shaking her head. You wont need a new baseball because this one is over. A walkoff tworun shot. Of course he gets mobbed by his teammates at home plate. Sixth home run in three games. Nats win this one, the final. In new york last night all you could hear were ranger fans celebrating in the streets after a 21 loss in overtime by the caps. Had it in the bag. Thought this was over. Less than two minutes in the third. Kreider would tie it up right here and this one would go into overtime. Then in o. T. The rangers captain ryan mcdone ag would send it past holtby who was amazing. Caps lose 21. Now you have to bring your a game on sunday. The series has been in our favor as far as the 31 but theyre a great hockey team. Weve been fortunate so far and when they want to put the pedal down theyre a dangerous team. Robert d. C. United off to their best start in history taking on kansas city. Minute 42 no score. United goes up 10 but kansas city would score a goal later in the half and the game would end in a 11 tie. And a final note the os beat the yankees. The final for that one 62. Okay. Im going to break this down for you. Bryce harper number 34 beats the Atlanta Braves with a walkoff. Paul pierce number 34 beat the Atlanta Hawks with the last second bank shot. Kellye does this at all fit into the caps and what they might do tomorrow . How can we bring them into this . Robert i dont know. Is there a number 34 for the caps . I got to look it up. Check it out. Kellye get back to us on that. Tonight a family outraged over a mid flight decision. The captain never came back and said he landed a plane. Kellye what happened on that plane to force an Emergency Landing and the response from music hey let me help with that. Oh, thank you music introducing the oneandonly Volkswagen Golf sportwagen. The sportier utility vehicle. Tt2wutbq v4 bt qoz tt2wutbq v4 a qov tt2wutbq v4 bm qt]l tt4wutbq v4 dztq e2 tt4wutbq v4 entq 56d tt4wutbq v4 gzt ,1< tt4wutbq v4 hnt started to calm down. We were shocked to hear them say were going to make an Emergency Landing in salt lake city. We have a passenger in the back of the plane who has behavior issues. Kellye they were then met by Police Officers but refused to leave before taking statements from other passengers. Almost all of whom were on their side. They have now contacted a lawyer. Tonight a mystery at a wisconsin zoo. Five animals stolen. Four baby goats and a baby kangaroo lifted right out of the mothers pouch. So far investigators dont have any leads but they say there is no sign of forced entry into any of the enclosures. The zoo says its main concern right now is getting the animals back safe and healthy. It is an encounter few people ever get to see. The World Wildlife fund captured two endangered tigers on camera. What makes the video so unique is experts say the animals are in the early stages of a courtship ritual. Since it is unusual for tigers to mate in captivity and there are fewer than 500 of these tigers left in the wild
