Theres some extra perks for heading to your favorite park over the next few days. Nbcs tracie potts is live at Great Falls National park with a look at the events this week and some of the challenges facing the National Parks. Good morning, its beautiful there. Reporter yeah hey, adam good morning. You know you can smell it you can hear the falls behind me. You cant see it yet, but it will be beautiful when the sun comes up. Youre right, there are some perks because as part of the 100 year celebration thats coming up next year everyone is getting into National Parks for free for an entire week star one of the things that theyre trying to do is draw people into the parks because they need money. You know, most of our National Parks and Historic Sites are free but there are some a quarter of them that charge fees and thats because they need the money for maintenance and repairs. They are asking congress and trying to raise 11. 5 billion just to fix the roads and the crumbling brick walls and some of the facilities in our National Parks around the country. Let me break that down for you, what that means here in the metro area. 665 million in virginia. About half that in maryland. Its a lot of money. Our National Parks are aging. They need more for upkeep. So thats part of what the Centennial Campaign is about. For now, come out and enjoy the park. Its free this weekend and for the entire next week as they really try to get the word out there, while theres lots of fun stuff to do with your family this is really a part of american history.

No showers around, except out in western maryland. Then some showers will roll farther to the east. By 4 00 p. M. , scattered showers. Maybe some rumbles of thunder. Dont anticipate any severe storms but rumbles of thunder between 4 00 and 6 00 or so. It will be mostly dry this evening. Keep up with the weather with the storm team 4 weather app. Partly sunny, then partly cloudy noontime. Up around 70.

Passengers could hear him from banging from inside. The worker walked off the plane just fine after an emergency landing. Alaska airlines has banned him from handling bags for any of their flights. Wow. There are new concerns that growth at Reagan National airport is causing dulles to lose business. I reported earlier this week a 1 billion expansion is in the works for reagan and recent improvements have brought more domestic flights to reagan. The Washington Business Journal reports that traffic at running game listen surpass dulles this year. Virginia lawmakers say this is a blow to the dulles area. We have got to guard against making more and more exceptions to allow longhaul flights to be fly out of reagan because if we do we weaken dulles and that is going to hurt the whole region.
