>> reporter: pretty frightening situation for a female jogger. she was out for a run yesterday morning, right around 6:30 in the morning. she was in a residential area. the 2000 block of army navy drive. she was jog, police say, on the sidewalk, when a man approached her, actually knocked her to the ground, kicked her several times to immobilize her, and then touched her in an inappropriate sexual way. she was able to get away and to seek help. police are still looking for the man, though, who's responsible. they're warning women to be on alert if at all possible. avoid going jogging alone. it's always best to go with other people if at all possible. they are looking for the suspect still. anyone with information, you're asked to call arlington county police. jim, back to you. >> all right, megan. thank you. a traffic alert now for beltway drivers in fairfax county. the left exit from the inner loop of i-495 to i-66 will close for good as early as today. that's exit number 49c. a right exit about a mile away will reopen or remain open. vdot tells us the closure is part of the capital beltway hot lanes project, which should be finished sometime next year. three new traffic laws will go into effect in maryland. one of them is in response in part to a deadly accident just over a year ago. natasha pettigrew was killed while riding her bike along route 202 in largo. her bike later found still attached to the cadillac escalade that hit her. at the time of pettigrew's death, maryland's vehicular manslaughter laws were considered by some to be too lenient, and drivers could end up with only a minor traffic charge. now lawmakers created a new misdemeanor offense. it's called manslaughter by criminal negligence, and it is punishable by a fine and jail time. >> the intent is that the person who does a hit, kill, and run, as an example, gets more than just $100 in fines, gets more than a traffic ticket or two. >> also starting tomorrow, they'll require the use of ignition interlock devices. that's when an ignition system is connected to a breathalyzer. it will impact repeat offenders and other drivers convicted of drunk driving. >> the third law says police in maryland can pull over and ticket drivers if they're caught sending or reading text messages behind the wheel. under existing law, it was a secondary offense. that meant police had to find another reason to pull a driver over in order to issue a texting citation. under the new law, anyone caught texting can be fined $70 and receive one point on their driver's license. nearly 47% of all texting adults confess to either sending or reading a text message while driving. starting tomorrow, you'll have to pay more at the dmv in the district. the agency is more than doubling its fees for several services. it's raising fees from $7 to $20. for duplicate driver's licenses, duplicate learner's permits, temporary driver's licenses, and i.d. cards. change of address and printing duplicate registration cards are also going up. the price for parking is heading in that direction too. a residential parking permit is currently $15 and increase to $35. unless you're a senior citizen, that will cost you $25. that's quite a hike all at auon. >> time for weather and traffic on the ones. big changes in our forecast. big changes that will have some folks breaking out their sweaters this weekend. had a conversation with someone yesterday. they said, you know, i'm ready to put my open-toed shoes away, ready to put the summer clothes away, and get out the turtlenecks. i'm not sure if i'm ready for that. some folks out there are. they're going to get their wish this weekend. this morning we're starting out at 63. it's not that chilly. by tomorrow morning we're going to be starting out in the mid-40s. some areas north and west in the low 40s. 63, the temperature right now. we've got a light wind at 8 miles per hour right now. 57 gaithersburg. 63 degrees in d.c. there are some of the clouds that will be coming into the area today. increasing clouds, fading sunshine. still not a bad day. the story for tomorrow, that little low pressure system will bring showers to our area. just light showers. so just nuisance type of showers for the day tomorrow. then it will be mainly during the afternoon. big story is how cold it gets. we drop to 53 degrees. 50 to 53 tonight. by the time we get to sunday morning, into the 40s, low 40s north. a lot of cold air. this is one huge air mass that will be sinking all way down to the south. temperature today getting up to 74 degrees. again, dry, fading sunshine. for the evening, 70 to 65. your four-day forecast right here going up to a high of 60 on sunday, 58 on saturday. definitely a fall-like weekend. danella?

the target on route 1 in potomac yard yesterday. she dressed incognito, wearing a nike baseball hat, sunglasses, and a button down floral shirt. secret service agents arrived about 30 minutes before mrs. obama. she walked in the main entrance with an assistant and shopped for 30 to 40 minutes. there's no word on what she ended up buying, but no one seemed to notice the first lady at first until she got to the register. >> why wouldn't she shop at target? where else is there to get shampoo and toilet paper and bras and cat food and bananas all in one place? >> target's corporate headquarters did not issue a formal statement about the shopping trip. however, the compa did tweet, "first lady michelle obama may be incognito, but there's no denying those target red carts." i think that's why
