Divbands brother says he doesnt believe kia divband committed the crime. Its not true. All of will come out in court, right . That is it. My brother would never do anything like this. So that is it. Stephen neighbors say divband and his wife and child walked the neighborhood last year when they started the daycare. Nothing was off or sketchy or weird. He seemed like a dad who would stay home with his kids and earn a living doing that. Stephen he says his brother has a child and another on the way and is great with did you know your brother to be violent . Absolutely not, man. No. Ever strike a child . Never. Never. We have three kids of our own and my brother is constantly here watching them. No. Never.

The danger area is moving east tonight and tomorrow. The question for us is east meaning us . Doug no. None of that is moving here. The Severe Weather system in the outbreak there, the upper level winds travel east to give us period of light rain. Nothing dramatic. No scores on thursday. Complicated system. A lot of things you see the big thing, the map. Weather moves west to east so you think its no, its not. Alison what about tonight . Doug not much happening at all. We are in the d. C. Split where the weather action stays north and south. We talk about it on the noon news. That is holding true. There is a chance of isolated storm in net met area. Better chance is well north and south and west. Well show it to you on doppler radar. Lets start. If i could read it would be better. From Winston Churchill high school in potomac. Next to it you can see the banner and then the moon disappears. Clouds and haze move in briefly. Through the day it was cloudy. In the afternoon in the heat of the day, the air overhead is dry and stable. That is why we are getting the fair weather clouds, the cumulus clouds. They are more flat than vertical. When you see that, stop you in your tracks. No storm develop out of the clouds. Plain and simple. However a little bit more north the weather is different in the this is a zone where not much is happening and not much may happen locally. Well continue to monitor the storms as the watch remains in effect until 9 00 tonight. The temperatures are gorgeous in the low to mid80s across the region today. With the temperatures and the sunshine and the breeze making it feel like early june around the area. 85 in washington. To contrast what is happening one of the producers john malone and his wifes cousin lives in vermont and sent us a picture today. This is what was happening in v. A. T. This afternoon. Farther enough north on the forth side of the Severe Weather. Cold air, enough to produce snowstorms for them. You can see on the satellite and the radar, there is burlington, vermont. All of that is the cold air here that is pushing this far south. We have warm air overhead. On the boundary between the much cooler air north and the mid80s. That is why we find this zone of storms farther south and west across high school, west virginia, western virginia we have showers and storms. In the metro keep an eye on this line here, developing across southwestern pennsylvania to state college. If the showers and the storms hold together in the next few hours it is possible. One of the computer models picks up on this. It may be late tonight or overnight. Stray showers or isolated rumble of thunder could roll through. For the moment its northeast and southwest from metro washington. So things are quiet for the next couple of hours outdoors. That bodes well for the nationals coming home to set up a series against the phillies tonight at the park. Right now a heavy thunderstorm cluster moving out of harrisburg. That moves to northern delaware. Wilmington and south of philadelphia. Things will stay quiet for a little while here. The future cast picks up on some of the nuances that you cant see by looking at the sky. You see them from the computer models. The analysis of what is happening in the atmosphere. It makes sense. We get through the late night and the overnight hours we might see showers survive a trip from the west. Might see a shower and rumble of thunder south of the city through the early morning. Take see how it plays out tomorrow. This model showing a passing shower in the morning. That is in the forecast. Most of the action pushes south. Thursday more showers will move overhead. Thursday may be an Old Fashioned rainy day around the area. Here is the forecast tomorrow. Cloudy. Lower 60s. Well see chances of showers tomorrow, rain, likely thursday.

Thank you very much. A tough ride out there. Still in several spots. Taking a look at the capital beltway. Big delays both direction. Inner loop crash to the shoulder. Its jam packed to connecticut en start for tiner loop out of bethesda. Outer loop at river road to the middle of the screen. You can see a disabled tractor trailer to the right center lane. Helper truck on scene. You have delays that scratch back to inner loop to georgetown pike or the dulles toll road. At the legion bridge that is a huge mess as well. On the baltimore parkway the traffic is clearing. The southbound side is jammed up as well. 95 south delays continue after the park to route 1123. This is where you go from four to three lanes so a tough stretch there. You will slow down a little bit to Stafford County but not as bad. 395 north and southbound slow to seminary road to king street and the southbound to duke street out of d. C. Still a bit of a mess. 66 eastbound is still slow heading out from the beltway. You can see the delays. That is all from the traffic desk back to you. Leon all right. Mayor bowser announced new regulations to allow the d. M. V. To help Senior Citizens age 70 and up to receive real i. D. s and the longtime virginia resident virginia mclauren is partly responsible for this. She had the dance with obama. But the federal regulation prevented her from getting a proper i. D. Mayor bowser worked a way to get new regulations in place. That helped her get the i. D. Today. So the new regulations are now in effect for every d. C. Senior citizen. Alison wow leon even those who arent 106. Alison i was going to say 70 and up. But to her that is like a kid. 70. Leon lifetime ago. Alison love it. Doug making a difference in peoples lives and not even aware. Alison isnt that great . I know. Doug its tuesday. Alison we love this. Alison lets talk lunch box weather. Doug we have a headline. Good change in the watch for a good direction. Lets talk about the eileen, the abc7 meteorologist at Taylor Elementary school in arlington. She was out for a lunch box Weather Program today. She showed presentations to the students with a few weather experts and including a chamber, tornado box that uses dry ice to show how tornadoes form. Brought them outside to see the storm chaser. We had a kim cam. Walker schmidt was holding the camera. Got a question from kevin pearson. My name is kevin pearson. My questions are how is wind created . And what is the best part about being a meteorologist . Doug the best part of being a meteorologist is being able to talk to great kids like you and being part of this and hanging out with my friends every night. But back to the first question about the winds, i will do everybody a favor. I could take 25 minutes to explain this. We reduce this to bullet points. How is wind created . I answered the best part about being a meteorolo learn in school the sun heats the earth. Most of the earth is water. Water heats much more slowly than the land does. So because it is different heating across the earth, the different heating part of the globe causes differences in air pressure and that sets the air in motion. So it is all about the sun. The sun generates the wind when you boil it all down. That is the answer. I appreciate the question. We look forward to the next episode of lunch box weather. Leon all this time i thought it was mexican food. Doug sometimes it is. [laughter] you notice all the pink has gone out of maryland. All of maryland has been dropped from the severe thunderstorm watch. Now its pennsylvania, the Eastern Shore of maryland. They havent seceded yet.

Quiet weather pattern with a few showers now an then. We need rain in the next few days. We will get some. Erin hopefully we dont get it for the nationals game. Leon she already introduced herself. Erin what the heck . I didnt expect you to say that. Oaf oaf and crosby are meet ovechkin and crosby are meeting again. It seems they should have met more than they have but it hasnt happened. In 2009 and the series ocho finished with 14 over ove finished with 14 points. And crosby with 13. Two guys on the cap played with both and they compared them today. What is remarkable is how consistent they are. How competitive they are on a consistent basis regardless of who they are playing. Vic said that having said that, they both have the ability to elevate the game in probably competitiveness. People are right when they say they are polar opposites. Especially off the ice. They are completely different guys. Erin capitals head coach barry trotz had interesting thought on the matchup. Hear what he has to say at 6 00. The schedule is finally out, folks for the capitals and the penguins for round two. We are waiting. Game one is Verizon Center at 8 00 on thursday. Game two is saturday. Also at verizon. The puck drops at 8 00 for that as well. Then it looks like the caps will travel to pittsburgh for game three on monday followed by game four on wednesday. Never a dull moment when the Dallas Mavericks owner mark cuban opens his mouth. Last night he said kevin durant was the only superstar on the Oklahoma City thunder which means he doesnt respect Russell Westbrook at all. Last night k. D. And westbrook were asked about the cuban comments and durant said ill take it from here. He is an idiot. Dont listen to hes an idiot. That is what we got to say about that. He is an idiot. Next question. Erin i love it. That is what you call having your teammates back. Leon i guess he will never play for dallas. Erin i thought the same thing. I thought the same thing to the producer. I guess he is not going to the mavericks. Alison crazier things have happened.
