3rd, 2010. a nice look outside today but we are off to another warm start. we'll find out more about that in just a second. >> thank you for waking up with us. i'm he gurvir dhindsa. >> i'm steve chenevey. a couple of major issues out there that we are dealing with on this thursday morning. one in maryland stems from a tragic accident that happened overnight. a state highway worker was struck by a tractor-trailer and kill on route 50 near the baydale drive exit. police say he was working on a vehicle crowpt counting device when he was struck. eastbound route 50 is closed at that scene right now. wave got another big problem in northern virginia. parts of king street between quaker lane and 395 have been impacted by a water main break. that is right near the bradley shopping center. fox 5 does have a crew out there. sarah similar monday is out there. at least one block of king near dearing street is closed right now and we also know some home owners in the area don't have any water right now so we'll check in with sarah coming up in just a few minutes. in the meantime, tucker barnes is in. he is filling in for tony today who is take eggcuple of days off. so off to another warm start. >> it is humid across the area. a little hazy in the live shot. it will be hazy, hot and humid around here later today and you know what that means. the thunderstorms will return, at least the possibility of them will return this afternoon. there is your morning satellite- radar. cold front moving in from the north and west. see it there in western pennsylvania. that will kind of fall apart as it leeches the washington area but enough of that energy will get here that it will lift the atmosphere a little bit and we'll see a few showers and thunderstorms return during the course of the afternoon. some of those storms could be strong as we'll have plenty of heat and humidity around here. 74degrees right now. we have heat to start the day. we have humidity to start the day. humidity, 82%. winds are out of the south appear west at sick miles per hour. much like yesterday, highs in upper 80s to about 90. tivity rens more humidity than yesterday and as i mentioned we could show late day showers and thunderstorms. -- the difference, mother humidity than yesterday. >> let's get to julie wright. >> if you are traveling outbound on 50, we had a fatal crash involving awe pedestrian from around 1:00 this morning. that is where we find the crew in sky fox. for those that were continuing outbound on route 50 in the direction of the bay bridge, one lane is now able to get around this closure that was set up. right now, live pictures, can you see there has been absorbent spread in the highway and now traffic is able to squeeze by to the right. if you are traveling eastbound on other in the intersection of the bay bridge. all of your lane are open westbound. -- all of your lanes are open westbound. if you are traveling in between the roosevelt bridge and memorial bridge, we have two lanes open there. can you stay to the right to independence avenue. what we noticed yesterday coming southbound on 395 off the westbound freeway to exit at main avenue, traffic was snarled so bad that we had delays out of southeast coming across the anacostia bridges because traffic can go no further than 17th street. all traffic from the freeway and main avenue then is forced to go northbound on 17th street and quite frankly, these roads cannot handle that kind of volume. so again today and for the next styx eight weeks, expect this long-term construction project to be in place. that's a check of your fox 5 on-time traffic. montgomery county fire officials and the u.s. park police will hold a press con presence later this morning to talk about the dangers of

that the american people will have answers on exactly what happened. >> if this latest strategy fails, engineers could try a relief well but that will take about two months to complete. the impact of

>> have i no idea. >> i don't know. is it cooling? >> it is not cooling. >> refreshing. >> the reason why is apparently the water when it is being poured in that way, it is heavily oxygenated. so the fish feed oxygen to survive. because of the rich oxygen ply minister water, when it is moving like that, they just thrive on it. oftentimes, food is being pushed through the current and so they will hang out along the currents to get food. and then we know some of the grander fish like the salmon of the world, they can swim all the way up through currents to get to their breeding ground in some of those rivers aross the pacific northwest. excellent question but it is all about oxygen and food. >> a couple of things that we all need to survive. >> good question. good answer. >> good food, good friends. >> exactly. >> if you want a question you want answered, go to myfoxdc.com and click on the weather tab. can you also upload your question there. we may play it live on fox 5 morning news. we'll take weather questions. we like all kind of questions. >> a nice mix. >> can you tell the music?
