Take a listen. Almost every shooting thats happened in d. C. , the police were nearby so thats clear that the police are doing a great job but they are not the only answer to the problem and in the past we have collective efforts with everybody working together, community leaders, parents, citizens, businesses, and the Police Department and the city.

These storms have been with us for a while. West side of 95 and south of 66. No lightning, no hail but pretty good rains. Around warrenton so once you go out 66 westbound, past manassas and haymarket youre going to see pretty good rains in warrenton. The storms are moving almost due north. That really hasnt changed. This storm could roll through middleburg on our stormtracker at about 6 54 and could make it to charles town at about 7 59. Has heavy rain with it and i think the storms will hold together a little bit after sunset. Not exactly completely heat driven storms. Early showers and storms until about maybe 9 00 or 10 00 tonight and then tomorrow another yellow weather alert day. We need it for more storms. A cold front pushing through. Critical time 3 00 p. M. To 10 00 p. M. , widespread activity tomorrow and then a great finish to the week. That has not changed with low humidity on friday and also saturday. 10 00 tonight again just a few leftover showers, all shades of green so its light. Low 80s to 70s for temps, muggy, by morning couple of showers possible, temperatures in the 70s, pretty much across the board, heaviest activity well east of us across the bay and into northeastern maryland. By 9 00 we are still in the 70s with leftover showers and then by 1 00 showers begin to fire up both east of us and west of us and these showers are going to roll through about 6 00, 7 00, 8 00 tomorrow night, could roll through during the preseason game with temperatures in the 80s. So get ready for some showers and maybe the rumble of thunder at fedex. 79 on the day planner at 9 00, up to 85 by 1 00 p. M. Once we go through tomorrow we are great. Friday is warm but not humid, upper 80s, beautiful on saturday, upper 80s and not humid either. Now the next seven days, sunday, well, i would make plans for saturday. Sunday has showers in it.

The fire storm surrounding Robert Griffin 3 most likely wont be going away anytime soon. Its going to heat back up whenever he takes the field. Griffin has another chance thursday to prove he is learning and growing as a player and a quarterback when the team hosts detroit in their second preseason game. Coach jay gruden says the starters will play at least a quarter, maybe more. Glueden says gruden says he doesnt have a comment about his most recent comments. I think when he was drafted two out of baylor, i think everybody thought he could be a topnotch quarterback in the nfl and i dont think hes wavered in that confidence factor. Hes got to prove it and stay healthy and continue to play. The Washington Nationals scratched and claude their way to a clawed their way to a victory last night. It wasnt pretty but got the job done and hopefully gave them a confidence boost. The nationals still made errors, left plenty of runners on base, 10 to be exact but never stopped battling. Escobar, desmond both drove in runs. No lead is safe even when they were up six runs, manager Matt Williams said the team wasnt going to let up. Six is never safe, so i think we stayed on it, we kept with it, kept adding runs to it so thats a good sign for us.
