Sometimes its mans best friend. Who despite being tied to a sawhorse, runs for its life to avoid a bath. Hey, come here. Reporter heavy containers of water are hard to hold on to and even harder when they hit your head. We checked. She wasnt hurt. Maybe the smart thing to do would be to wear protective gear gear.

I want to start with doppler 9000 this morning because theres a bunch of showers and storms from ohio moving toward pennsylvania. That is a Flood Warning across parts of ohio, west of pittsburgh this morning. So a very active morning there. Some of the showers have snuck into Garrett County.

There are some troubles around the ride this morning, especially in portions of Prince Georges County and out toward west of the beltway. Mainly were actually seeing a few incidents that are going to slow you down especially if youre traveling 210 north indian head highway. Still working that accident almost out of the way but not quite removed just past farmington road. Also the other incident working 301 north and Maryland Route 5. Another incident just popped up, this one involves some fire activity. In fact the fire crews are on the scene here. Basically responding to reports of a fire at route 48 and route 4. This is a building structure fire. And also were looking at some pretty steady traffic as well out and around the region. Lets take a look outside and see how things are going. So far beginning to see some slowing traffic at route 29. The bulk of the delays are between the Silver Spring area heading around toward bethesda and the American Legion bridge. The earlier accident we had pulled off to the right shoulder but still causing quite a bit of a slowdown. Elsewhere looking at pretty steady traffic as well. This is northbound on i95 as you head past the or in toward the springfield interchange. Basically some steady traffic moving on through. Were also seeing some heavy traffic inbound on i66 basically as you head in from manassas, centreville area all the way in toward fairfax and also at the American Legion bridge.
