So were dry right now here in washington, but you can see a little cell just south of winchester, frederick county, virginia, and also coming up around 270 and 15 anywhere from frederick going up to gaithersburg. And look at this. This cell moving about 55 miles an hour to the north and east. Now, some lightning with it, some pretty strong conditions out there and, you know, it was warm today. Temperatures right around 80. We will be in the 50s when you wake up tomorrow morning. We again have some rain along i95 tomorrow morning as well. Not too bad tomorrow morning but definitely bad on saturday morning. Weve got freeze watches and high wind watches. Were going to let you know just how cold its going to feel on sunday morning. Quite a change coming up. If your car is rattling from hitting all those potholes out there, help is on the way. The districts annual potholepalooza campaign kicked off today. Ddot is promising to fix any pothole reported within 72 hours. The effort itself isnt new to the city but some of the methods year using to prepare the streets are. Crews hope to mitigate the past issues with pothole repairs. I do receive many complaints from people about potholes and how they are filled, both with the materials and how quickly they deteriorate. I hope that whatever were doing going forward, that well be able to take care of those problems.

Time magazine called Chris Van Hollen a hero to environmentalists, education groups, and gun control advocates for his accomplishments as a young legislator.

Chris van hollen is the only candidate who fought the wall street banks and the nra. And won. Thats why hes endorsed by the post as the talented successor to senator mikulski who will deliver results. Im Chris Van Hollen, and i approve this message. Well, get ready. I know you probably love the weather today but its not going to stay like this. Thats right. Over the next few days you will see a little bit of everything, and in a few minutes amelia segal will join us with the updated weekend outlook. First, well get you caught up with president ial politics. Four days to go to the wisconsin primary and the frontrunners appear to be headed for upsets. Brian mooar is live on capitol hill with the latest from the Hillary Clinton can afford to lose a couple delegates right now but for donald trump this was a fwbad week to have a bad week. Reporter just a few days ago, donald trump seemed to see a clear path to the gop nomination. Im going to be in wisconsin the whole week because if we win wisconsin, its like going to be over, pretty much over. Reporter but its not over and trump was nowhere to be seen in the badger state today before a week filled with highprofile stumbles. If the latest polls are right, ted cruz is headed for a key victory on tuesday and antitrump republicans will be one step closer to their goal, an open convention in july. What we cannot do is turn off wide swaths of the lek trelecto. Reporter cruz and john kasich are sharpent if ted cruzs mouth is moving, hes lying. Reporter while kasich denounced this super pac ad, he offered his most pointed critique. The problem with senator cruz is he hoos no record. His record is shutting down the government and making everybody he works with upset. Reporter on the democratic side an upset is something Hillary Clinton cannot afford in home state new york where she is far ahead in the polls. But Bernie Sanders holds the lead in wisconsin, a state thats given new hope to underdogs from both parties. And if down the road donald trump does end up losing at an open convention, it is likely we will look back on this week as a turning point. Chris . All right. Thanks a lot, brian.

And i got to tell you, amelia, when you first brought up this possibility, i thought, okay, its april 1st. Shes trying to get us here. Got to be a joke. It cant be real. Im not joking. Were talking about 80 degrees and some thunderstorms today, feeling like june. Tomorrow will feel like spring, will look like spring, and by sunday looking more like winter. We could have some wet snowflakes late saturday night. Absolutely no accumulation but something wed be talking about. Right now on storm team4 radar, tracking a broken line of thunderstorms moving through theever. This line that will bring in cooler air over the weekend, and well have another cool front move through tomorrow that will be mainly dry but that will bring in reinforcing cold air for sunday and extremely windy conditions. Heavy rain impacting parts of frederick and carroll counties. We might see a Severe Thunderstorm Warning come up on that as it continues to the east.

Mosquito season just around the corner and with that comes the potential for the zika virus to spread. Thats why hundreds of doctors, scientists, and mosquito experts gathered today at the centers for Disease Control in atlanta. Health reporter Erica Edwards is there and has the latest. Reporter this is the mosquito thats mostly to blame for spreading the zika virus and the reason scientists from all over the country have gathered for a summit at the centers for Disease Control. Zika is already in the u. S. And territories. Reporter the urgent concern is for pregnant women. Theres growing evidence zika can cross the plat sen that of an infected woman invading the brain of a developing fetus if we wade until we see widespread transmission, if we wait until the public is panics, we have waited too long. Reporter state and local Health Officials are working to develop game plans now. Identifying areas to spray insecticide and educating women who may become pregnant about the best ways to avoid infection. Use mosquito repellant. Its safe in pregnancy.

We continue our t coverage now with news4s doreen gentzler. You were able to talk to a local doctor. What are they saying about these latest developments . Well, there was some significant news about the zika virus right here in our area this week. A woman who contracted the virus 11 weeks into her pregnancy terminated that pregnancy at 21 weeks of a an ultrasound showed serious abnormalities in the infants brain. I spoke with her doctor earlier today. This is the core text of a brain which, again, on this baby is nice and thick and full. This is fluid out here. Fluid in here. Thats just filling the space that should be brains. She traveled at 11 weeks gestation, became symptomatic at 12 weeks and the first time an ultrasound showed abnormalities was at 19 weeks. We know it took in her case seven weeks for the virus to have its effect that again, thats a local case here in the d. C. Area, and the doctor was responsible for overseeing, monitoring that case. The headline on the zika virus story is still how much the experts dopts know abont know. Theyre learning more every day. This case is helping raise other questions, for example, the couple involved in that pregnancy locally, how long do they have to wait . They both tested negative now. The virus is gone from both of them, but how long do they wait now before trying for another pregnancy, and there are no really good answers for that. Not just for this case but, you know, think of all the ob gyns nationwide trying to figure out what to tell their patients. This sort of exploded in the late falling, winter, which give you a little bit of a buffer before the mosquitos start breeding. But not much of one. Faced with that. Thats the reason for the meeting in atlanta. Its pretty urgent that Health Experts nationwide develop a plan and a cohesive plan too. It doesnt work if one area is doing some prevention techniques and next door theyre not. Yeah. All right. Has to be a cohesive plan. Thank you, doreen. Great info, doreen. Yes.

Hard to believe but we could see all four seasons over the next four days. Lauryn ricketts is in the storm center. Shes been tracking the radar. Lauryn, lets start with the rain. Is that what were going to see first . Yeah, you know, that is what exactly we are going see first. You know, we are seeing that right now. If you like a little bit of mixed precipitation, you like some i shouldnt said mixed precipitation. If you like rain, if you like snow, thats what i mean, that is really what were going to see. If you like cold, you like warm, we have it all team4 as we head through the weekend. Right now we have some sunshine. Temperatures are in the low 80s. We have some scattered storms out there with temperatures by 7 00 p. M. Still in the 70s. Can you believe it . Last time we were in the 80s was in november. Rain will be east of the area by 9 00 p. M. It will hold onto Southern Maryland as we go into the evening. So Southern Maryland, Eastern Shore could still see some of this rain as this frontal system is going to kind of straul oallo the south and east. Look at this storm blowing up going into frederick county. That storm is moving east at 55 miles an hour. Weve got some pretty strong winds in there as well, and maybe even a little bit of small hail. This storm up by Carroll County is headed off to the masondixon line just well north of baltimore.

An even closer look at some of the storms, you can see it impacting the area and thats throughout the evening. However, we have rain holding onto Southern Maryland. I will keep that rain chance in through at least the first part of tomorrow and then well get some sunshine by tomorrow afternoon and then another little front coming through. Rain and some wet snow after about 10 00 p. M. On saturday to early on sunday. You wake up tomorrow morning, temperatures in the 50s. You dont think its that bad. By the time we get to saturday night, were looking at temperatures in the 40s and 30s. Weve got freeze watches for most of our area. Weve got high wind watches as well.

I know we have the Cherry Blossom ten miler. Wind gusts over 40 miles an hour at times and, of course, again windchills will be in the 30s and 40s during the afternoon. So a cold shock to the system as we go through your sunday afternoon. Thanks, lauryn.
