from julie in a couple minutes. but it is the actual weather that we are keeping a very close eye on. >> tony perkins, you look like you have new information. >> no, the warnings that i told you about still in effect. this picture is a better picture than we showed you just 10 minutes ago with a number of those tornado warnings having canceled or expired. a pretty strong line of thunderstorms coming through eastern maryland, the dheb, places like that -- the chesapeake bay, places like that and southern maryland. this could change at any point. tornado warning in effect until 6:00 a.m. for southeastern calvert county and southeastern st. mary's county in southern maryland under a tornado warning box with the possibility of tornadic activity. tucker and i have not seen any rotation in the system recently. that is good. you want to be ware that there is at possibility of a tornado. very strong gusty winds, severe storms racing through and cloud- to-ground lightning as well although we've seen that decrease too during the last 30 minutes i would say. we pull this out and you can see now it is moving across the chesapeake bay soon to move into eastern maryland. it continues to race through. here in the district, always flight rain falling in d.c. we have more rain showers in frederick, manassas, places like that. the severe weather has come through and i think once it gets through, we'll be done with the severe weather. let's take a look at the wind gusts. here we go. we'll go to the graphics. most recent wind gusts have increased now out to the east in advance of the storm coming through. 35-mile an hour winds in stevensville. 38-mile per hour wind gusts in salisbury. 21 still in d.c. that was the last big report. 24 up in baltimore. check out leonardtown, 44-mile per hour wind gusts. now, temperatures, big difference. 61degrees here in d.c. it is 69 in baltimore but these temperatures will drop during the course of the day and basically our temperatures will be in the 50s today. all right. that day planner is the wrong one. sorry about that. essentially, temperatures in the 50s. more rain showers touring the course of the morning and we'll see partly sunny skies later on today. >> let's get a check on the roads with julie wright. >> we had a number of accidents pop up in montgomery county, 9 at stewart lane, southbound 118 at 355, both now cleaned up and moved out of the roadway. we have a tree down across the highway in you are traveling along 410 over at jones mill. that is what we're dealing with right now. the strong, gusty winds coming through the area. if you can stay home and stay put until the storm moves out of your area, i suggest you do so. i know that is not easy for everybody to do. if you have to be out there this morning, just plan on a long commute, a slow drive. even double your time for your commute headed into work. if you are in the middle of that storm, you can't see. you don't want to run into something like this, a tree down across the highway. if it is trash day in your neighborhood, can you find a lot of the trash cans overturned and trash all over the place. here is the problem on 59 in virginia. we have two stretches of slow traffic. we have delays coming up past dale city. once you get past that, you've got more more delays this time around in dale city. only the left lane able to squeeze by the scene of this crash. most of the activity confined to the left. some activity is able to squeeze by at some point but it will be a slow go northbound on i-95 pretty much out of triangle headed up into woodbridge. that's a check of your fox 5 on-time traffic. big story we are following this morning. severe weather rolling through our area today as a new survey is out on pepco and its performance during recent storm. sarah simmons has more. >> reporter: this survey revealed a lot about how many people have had problems with power outages and the length of those outages. it also went into the financial impact and cut mrs say it cost them big bucks. nearly 12,000 residents and businesses participated in this survey about pepco's reliability. 95% report losing power in the last year. they say it also took more than five hours to get electricity restored and half report losing power for more than an hour during what was a nonmajor event. montgomery county residents have been hit hard by power outages backing up the result of the survey. we didn't have any trouble finding folk who have lost power over and over again. >> mostly in the summer months when we have storms. winter has beened about. >> there has been times when we don't lose power and somebody else does. >> reporter: councilmember roger berliner has been involved in the charge to hold pepco accountable for so many outages. he knew a majority of county residents had been left in the dark and says the survey con furthermored it. >> i don't think anybody in montgomery county will be surprised by it at all. >> reporter: just under 11,000 residents and over 650 businesses responded to the survey. county executive ike leggett's office issued a statement saying the survey revealed the economic impact of these outages was huge t ranged from 22 to $114 million for customers. # 1 to 211 million for businesses. >> dumping your refrigerator, having to get a hotel room, people investing in back-up

miles of power lines. some customers agree pepco is working hard. >> when they get to the neighborhood, they seem like they are really working hard at it. it doesn't seem like some are working and some are sitting around saying i'll take my turn in a while. i don't see that kind of thing happening. >> reporter: pepco also says it is in the process of hiring new customer service representatives and even new technology that would allow customers to use the smart phones to report outages. maureen? >> thank you for that. we continue to keep track of our big story this morning, severe weather

see how wet it is out there as we get more and more commuters out there. most of the actual heavy downpours have already passed this spot but still sticking around in some areas. >> yes, to our east. if you are wondering why all the changes, this storm system moving very quickly, about 40, 50 miles per hour eastward. earlier this morning, an hour ago, literally, we were getting very heavy rain and lightning and tornado -- we had no watches or warning out to the west but there was a rotation in the atmosphere out to our west. then it came through d.c. now, it is pushing off it the east across the chesapeake bay into eastern maryland. because of that, we have new information. lets ashow you hd radar and i'll let you no he what is going on. right now, we have the national weather service just issuing a severe thunderstorm warning. that is now in effect. can you barely see it there but the severe thunderstorm warning now in effect for dorchester county. this is all in southeastern maryland and portions of virginia. dorchester county, somerset county, this is severe thunderstorm warning in effect until 6:45. these are areas to the east as the storm continues to track east. but frankly, it loses some of its intensity. in addition, i remind you that we still have a tornado warning in effect until 6:00 a.m. for southeastern calvert county and southeastern st. mary's county. i've seen no indication that that has come down. but we'll keep our eyes on that for you. that is in effect until 6:00 a.m. again, you are looking at hd radar. as long as that storm is over the chesapeake bay, you want to be aware that it is windy there. you key some water spouts and the like. right there. that is where we're talking about. you want to be aware of that. let's get to graphics, max 2, and we can show you the big picture. that is the tornado watch box that is in of course there that you are seeing. you can see the motion of the storms moving to the east- northeast. very severe weather came through earlier. we con to is he a fairly strong line of thunderstorms to our east. out to the west, there is more precipitation but i don't think we'll get heavy stuff like we've had during the early- morning hours. we will see more periods of run and shower ask tuft during the morning and then all of this will dissipate i think during the course of the day today. let's take a look at the area covered by the severe thunderstorm warning. this is the new one. it is essentially eastern maryland, portions of virginia down to the south, southern maryland, delaware into pennsylvania as well. severe thunderstorm warning which is in effect right now. temperatures, this is part of our story today as we will see our temperatures continue to drop. we've seen it -- they've
