The problem started at an air Traffic Control center in leesburg earlier this morning that caused some ground stops, again delays, cancellations, the problem was resolved right around 4 00 this afternoon, but there is this huge backlog now. Thats what were seeing at the airport. Some flights were even diverted around washington. Some are being told that they are going to have to wait as late as monday to get their flight. We wanted to go to tampa and our flight was at 5 45, but we are not able to make it because the computer shut down and it seems to be a computer problem over there. I am traveling back home to st. Thomas in the Virgin Islands and need to get back to work for monday so my flight at 2 50 was delayed. I must say, u. S. Air and American Airlines are very helpful, theyre trying to pass out cards, rebook your flight, so hopefully ill get out of here this evening. They canceled my flight. Where are you trying to go . Fort lauderdale. They told me it was canceled. Theyre not told me the best they can do is get me on another flight for monday. I dont plan to be here until monday. Reporter and a lot of people are finding themselves in that situation, that they may have to wait until monday. People are trying to get back home to get to work on monday. We talked to numerous people trying to get down to florida for family vacations. Its hard to get a grip on exactly how big this problem is, whether its hundreds or thousands of people affected.

A great day for all these things to happen because the weather was absolutely beautiful. It was gorgeous. The humidity was low. We did hit 90 degrees. Were into our heat wave now and doesnt really feel it because of the humidity. It was really comfortable outside and for the most part if you like today youre really going to like tomorrow. Just a touch warmer and a bit more humid. Thats kind of splitting hairs. Its going to be a nearly perfect summer day for your sunday. Were talking about at least a sixday heat wave and looks like the humidity will be the worst tuesday, wednesday and thursday. As it gets towards the end of the upcoming work week a little uncertainty in the forecast and its all about a cold front. I will have more on that when i show you the seven day. Tomorrow the weather having a low impact on your day. Plenty of sun once again, its hot and a little bit humid. Currently temperatures are in the 80s and 90s. 91 in frederick, 87 in washington by the water, more comfortable there, 82 degrees right now in annapolis and a beautiful evening no matter what your plans are firing up the grill, walking the dog or cat. 9 00 maybe not walking the cat. Maybe some do that. 9 00, temperature of 81 degrees. By midnight around 76. Pretty dry air in place. Its going to be comfortable overnight. Suburbs will dip into the 60s. Washington will cool into the low 70s. So by 8 00 a. M. A temperature around 74. Nice again for that morning walk, jog or bicycle ride. 11 00 a. M. , plenty of sun, mid 80s. As we work our way into the afternoon and early evening hours well find temperatures in the low to mid 90s. Maybe an isolated storm tomorrow afternoon, but thats only going to be over the mountains west of i81. Elsewhere is dry. Well hit our high in washington at about 94 at about 4 00 or 5 00 p. M. To see the High Temperature in your area check out my twitter and facebook pages and i have more on el nino there. Talking about the humidity forecast, tomorrow slightly uncomfortable. Notice, though, as we work our way toward monday, humidity will increase. Starts to feel a little bit sticky outside. By tuesday, wednesday and thursday it is feeling oppressive. Were talking about feels like temperatures around 100 degrees. Great time to hit the pool tomorrow, monday and tuesday. Of course youll need the sunscreen just about every day. Tuesday about a 30 chance but thats of a late day shower or thunderstorm so going to the pool around the midday afternoon hours its looking fine. A high on monday of 95 degrees, tuesday high of 92. Wednesday 93. So heres the situation with the cold front. This cold front may fizzle out. If that happens looks like temperatures will continue to be around 90 through next saturday with little Storm Chances and thats what im forecasting right now. However there is the chance that this cold front kind of sits right around our area bringing us plenty of clouds, humid conditions and cooler conditions thursday friday and saturday. I will get new information this evening and have the updates coming up on news 4 at 11 00 and update twitter and facebook throughout the evening as the new updates become available. Bottom line, erica, tomorrow another nice day. And for the most part, big focus on humidity tuesday, wednesday and thursday. All right. Thanks, amelia. Kids, summer is almost over.

After a day off to reflect and recover after thursdays win over the browns the redskins return to work at Training Camp in richmond for fan appreciation day. In addition to the fans the redskins certainly fully appreciate their personnel predicament with a shortage of healthy tight ends. Thursday we learned the skins lost niles with a seasonending ankle injury and today a decision on logan paulson. As feared he is joining paul on the sideline for the entire season. Head coach gruden confirmed that paulson like paul will miss all of the season. Paulson has been dealing with turf toe and has surgery scheduled for monday. Its now the position who to watch at Training Camp for the losses creating opportunities. I have good news, jordan reed, bothered by a hamstring injury hopes to play thursday against detroit. And its getting better. Another sign of Better Health junior gillette recovering from a torn peck, painful to say, limited to individual and position work, but today, practiced in team drills. Hes hoping to play in the teams third preseason became when they visit for the ravens and for gillette who opted against surgery that decision led to this day. If i had the surgery it would have been five months program, basically start over, and that wouldnt have been good for where im at right now. The decision i am today god bless me im healthy. Get the cardio back and being with the guys i just love football. Its a great feeling. Hes an exciting player, brings a different type of burst of energy to that defense and see it in one on one drills. We had to get him ready and make sure hes healthy, knows the defense and when hes ready hell be ready. Were ready for this.

A jump in attendance from more than 20,000 decrease in attendance from 25,000 fans who made it down last year. All right. I know nats fans are feeling like shouting mayday and maybe gio gonzalez will answer the distress signal when he starts against the giants. Hes 50 in his last eight starts and trying to prevent the nates from slipping to. 500 since the day in may, may 8th, when they were 1515. As the nats have gone down, pitches have been left up. Last night matt sure zer, 85 lost to the giants, charged with six runs and seven hits. His last three starts scherzer has not made it past the sixth inning. Against the rockies, ten strikeouts but gave up three home runs in a loss. Last couple times out it hasnt been his best. Felt like he wasnt throwing it where he wanted to. Left balls in the middle of the plate. Anybody that does that has a chance to give up some runs. So yeah. Hes going to compete, hell go out next time and hopefully give us a win. All right. Simple, im taking credit for this. Orioles hoping the magic continues against the as. Before midnight last night i was walking to the parking lot with my son, man on second, Manny Machado starts the fireworks early, walkoff tworun homer, there goes the fireworks and oriole fans can thank me and my son for leaving early, left in the 1th.
