We have good news for commuters in the d. C. Area. Im specifically talking about that striping that wasnt put in place on 395 north between duke and seminary. Now its done. You can see those orange barrels over my shoulder. That is lining that new striping thats now been completed. In all about 1,000 feet of pavement between little river turnpike and seminary road was not painted as it should have been. This is all part of a bigger project here where crews are building a new hov ramp to seminary road in order to give workers the room they need to get the job done. They needed to shift those lanes but instead of making that shift in those lanes clear, vdot says someone made a mistake. So in the meantime orange barrels mark that new boundary. While the problem has already been fixed, those who dealt with this mess yesterday were not surprisingly very frustrated. Even the way they have the cones set up is really confusing. It seems never ending over there. Its crazy busy all the time. Reporter good news for those drivers. Theyre not going to have to deal with the same problem today because the striping has been completed but thats just proof that something as little and as small and insignificant as that can snarl traffic and cause major backups.

You see the new activity from leesburg down toward warrenton tracking toward the east. Well be watching that. Temps still in the 70s now. Wont climb much with a little sun later on. Highs only the low 80s. Thats better than yesterdays 94. Ill come back in a few minutes and talk about the weekend. I have some good news to share with you. Ill tell chu day will which day will be the better of the two. This week weve been marking the 45th anniversary of mans first trip to the moon. But the moon isnt the only heavenly body occupying nassau us a thought. Nasas thoughts. Reporter 45 years ago the United States won the ultimate race. It beat thsse ruians to the moon. The eagle has landed. Reporter while more than half a billion people watched Neil Armstrong take that small step, it seemed like well, were kind of over the moon. The last time america sent a man to the pie in the sky was in 1972. Nasas Constellation Program would have returned astronauts back to the moon but president obama canceled the program in 2010. Seems the sentiment was been there, done that. Instead nasa is setting its sights on a new target, the perfect asteroid. They want to catch one, pull it into the orbit of the moon and send astronauts there to study it. Its called the asteroid redirect mission. The first phase of the mission involve as robotics spacecraft rendezvousing with a spall asteroid and pulling it into the orbit of the moon. To do this nasa has come up with two options. Option a would engulf an as stroid with a tentlike contrapping. Option b would break off a boulder from a much larger as stroid. After the as stroid is in the orbit of the moon, they would visit using the some day transp humans to mars. The budget is approximately 1. 2 billion. Now, why does the u. S. Want to spend all of this money to capture an asteroid . Nasa says there are several reasons like planetary defense. Remember that as stroid that buzzed asteroid that buzzed over russia . It only sideswiped us. The thinking goes ifer able to change the orbit of an asteroid and study its composition, we can protect ourselves against another one crashing into earth. We could potentially mine asteroids and use the mission as a testing ground for the technologies that one day may bring humans to mars. It may have been a giant leap for man kind but are we over the moon . All signs kind of point to yes. Okay. Forget the moon, lets talk about the clouds. Theyre on their way out of here and cooler weather is arriving in the d. C. Area. Can it last through the weekend . Howard is up next with welcome back to wusa9. 6 44. Its a yellow alert day but only for a few hours more. Drier air moving in. This afternoon. If youre going to be south of d. C. , clouds will linger. Passing showers even into the afternoon. We cant rule out a passing shower this afternoon but it will feel better by late afternoon. Tonight its going to feel great. I think many of us can open up the windows tonight and take advantage of that. Let the fresh air in. She sees her shadow in the fall when the colder air returns and big time. Weather wise, lets start with doppler 9000. We have showers out there now. The bulk of the activity is south and east of us. Im talking south, areas south of route 66 or i66 and south of route 50. Weve got heavier stuff in the richmond area where Training Camps for the redskins down there. Some people are going to head out that way. Take some rain gear. We have a better chance of showers and storms lingering much of the day. The front is coming through. North of 66 not much going on. Showers have returned in east and Loudoun County, ashburn. A little bit of light rain thats going to be moving toward western fairfax, rockville and potomac. East of us we have lingering showers as well but theyre much less than they were from Upper Marlboro down 301 here. Not quite into Charles County. But if youre going out central avenue, route 2, route 4, shady side over toward north beach, Chesapeake Beach and especially the Eastern Shore where we have heavier showers just west of cambridge at the moment. Southern maryland, talking more st. Marys than calvert but the southern half of st. Marys especially, some moderate showers there not far from lexington park. Back across the river toward newland, reedville. Youve got more showers than we do. Out 66 you get south of it, here it is in warrenton. You also notice in the last halfhour how the whole area has weakened some as it moves toward Prince William county. Showers on and off through midday. More sun this afternoon with temperatures in the low 80s. 82, maybe 84 with enough sunshine. Significantly cooler than yesterday. Then the 70s this evening back to the 60s, even 50s by tomorrow morning as humidity levels drop off. Currently in the 70s just about everywhere with 76 at Pax River Naval air station. Easton 174. Even cumberland 70. But go over the ridge, look at that on the otr side of the Eastern Continental divide. We have oakland at 59 degrees with temps locally, the cool spots in the upper 60s but most of us between 70 and 75. Outside on our michael son weather camera, were looking at the pentagon this morning where it looks like the rain has stopped. Just cloudy skies at national, 76. But rather humid with the dew point at 70. So cold front is coming through. Behind it the drier air but we still have a little piece of energy. See it in southern ohio . Thats got to come through. Thats going to take several the threat of showers with us mainly for the morning. South of town well see some of the showers linger through the afternoon, even a rumble of thunder 82. 66 tonight with 50s north and west. Tomorrow really fine looking friday 86. Humidity levels down. They creep up, though, big time saturday hot, isolated afternoon storm, 92. To me i think well have a better chance of storms sunday. Saturday the better day of the weekend and not as hot. Another cool down comes by tuesday. Highs then in the low 80s. Monika is stepping in with timesaver traffic. I guess its getting a little ugly out there. It is, especially Southern Maryland. You want to listen up if youre one of those commuters that uses 210 accokeek on the northbound side. All lanes are blocked at living stong road. Thats livingston road. Thats that intersection in accokeek. Northbound route 210 is blocked with this accident at livingston road in accokeek. Now an accident out of brandywine on the northbound side of route 5 after route 301 and apparently two trucks involved there. Theyre blocking off the right lane.
