We have watch area from jersey, pennsylvania, South Carolina. This is a long line. This is the line all the way to South Carolina that will continue to advance eastward and affect us in the next few hours. A decent chance that part of the area will deal with a tornado in the next few hours. When the storms develop that show any kind of tornadic signature, any indication that they are not garden variety storms, ones with a twisting, rotating nature and could produce a tornado in quick order we will let you know. The key to the storms the actual storms are moving at 45 Miles Per Hour. When they form up and get warned they are a short amount of time to make it in the area. Look at the future cast how we look now and who it thinks we will look at 6 00 p. M. With the heaviest storms bearing in. After that it should move out. By 8 00 or 9 00 the weather should improve. But we aint there yet. Jonathan thank you very much. We should let you know at home if anything should change or if there is a rotation or a twister reported doug will have it rig the day did start wet.

Kevin lewis is in mobiletrak7. How is it looking . Kevin we just crossed on the 14th street bridge into virginia. The conditions right now take a look outside. Pretty good in terms of Traffic Congestion or a lack thereof. The weather getting worse. The rain picked up with the last 30 to 45 minutes. Wi saw a lightning bolt over the pentagon really. As people leave work and hit the roads, certainly should contribute to a more treacherous commute home. We are heading southbound on 395 right now. We are going toward Prince William county. We will bring you updates as we see them. Live in mobiletrak7, im kevin back to you see that . Oh, my gosh. Jonathan we are getting a much better look today at what the storm brought to other part of the country. People ducking for coverage in louisiana. Wall of a gym blown down. You can see it there. Michelle twisters touched down on floridas panhandle as well. This video coming in from pensacola where even brick buildings were no match. They were brought down. Alison starling has more of the damage. Alison the deadly storms slamming south and are now heading north and into the east. Snow is falling in the midwest. Three people have been killed. After more than two dozen reported tornadoes hit the southeast. A monster some system on the move up the east coast. Holy cow alison along the way, leaving a path of destruction. This r. V. Park in st. James parish, louisiana, obliterated. I immediately took off running to help people. Alison entire neighborhoods decimated. All of this, the work of 27 reported tornadoes. In 24 hours across five states. Sounded like a train coming through here. Alison people were inside a golds gym in prairieville when a twister ripped the wall off the building. Working employees and people working out. There were eight kids in the daycare. Scary situation. Alison amazingly, no one was seriously hurt here. But elsewhere, the heavy wind and rain powerful enough to flip a tractortrailer over proved to be deadly. With dozens injured. Search is continuing for anyone who may still be trapped in this mangled mess of debris. We are hoping to get down in the pile to find people. Ads as we saw, one of the hardest hit areas was pensacola on the panhandle. You can see the aerial video here from the sister station wear.

It went down on the green line at the anacostia station yesterday afternoon. The two teens are 189yearold andre who is charged with arm robbery as is graves. Now charged as an adult. We have learned graves is a suspect in Armed Robbery in southeast d. C. In december. He is the one in black rifling through the Cash Register and going through Tobacco Products before running off. Some metro passengers we spoke to are relieved that graves is charged as an adult. Yeah. He acting like he should be charged as an adult. You are doing adult things. Why not charge as an adult. That is your fault. Why put people in jeopardy . Attorneys for both teenagers are expected to advise for supervised release. Prosecutors will argue that the judge order them held until the next court appearance. A lot of people wondering why graves was on the street anyway if he was a suspect in the Armed Robbery. Stephen tschida, abc7 news. Jonathan in case you didnt know it a debate got started recently at George WashingtonUniversity La bathrooms . That is the debate. Men and women can use this on campus. The urinals next to the sink, no divider between them. What do you think about this . Good idea . Bad idea . We post the story on the website at wjla. Com and a poll live on twitter.

An effort is underway to strengthen punishment for the first time offenders. Maryland bureau chief brad bell is in annapolis with a closer look at the press to pass noahs law. Brad here is what noahs law is aimed at doing. Aimed to interrupt the act of a drunk driver getting to a car and simply turning it on. It would require ig anything interlock where a drunk driver has to blow in a tube to start it would require it of everyone convicted of drunk driving. But first they have to pass it in the legislature in the state house. Today, dozen of Police Officers came to town to tell the story of officer noah leotta. The young officer killed in the line of duty in december when he was hit and killed by repeat offender drunk driver. The chiefs of police, montgomery, prince georges came to town today with officer leottas parents. To try to convince the maryland house of delegates Judiciary Committee to pass this bill along. My son was 24 years old. He should be here today. He was completely healthy until the moment a dunk driver struck him. Its irresponsible and reck lest that people are doing that. Brad the problem with the bill, proponents sayi killed in the House Committee six straight years. When we come back we tell you why it has happened and why they hope this year is different. In annapolis, brad bell, abc7 news. Jonathan thank you. In the race for the white house, a key pickup for Hillary Clinton after winning nevada.

Breakin put Montgomery CountyPublic School students personal information at risk. Well let you know what was stolen and which schools sent letters home. Jonathan mobiletrak7 is on i395 in alexandria. We continue severe alert coverage. Tornado watch issued for the area. If anything should develop we will cut right into it. Jonathan a tradition is broken at the Naval Academy graduation. Michelle the move to gleaneder neutrality. Men and gender neutrality. They will wear the same ceremony. Suzanne this year it will have a new look. More than 250 women of the Naval Academy class of 2016 graduate look like the male counterparts. No skirts. Everyone in pants. I think its great. If they get the same pay, we are all good. Suzanne this is the first time in 40 years since the Naval Academy accepted women that male and female midshipmen will wear the same uniform at graduation. The everyday and the parade uniforms are the same but now they will be identical at the spring ceremony. Dan peters served in the navy for four years and he opposes the change. Skirts have always been okay. If they are mandating this and taking away a choice, i dont think that is really fair. The decision was annoyanced tuesday. Academy releasing a statement saying in part uniformity is at the core of who we are at the Naval Academy and in the military. Uniform policies which evolve and change all of the time throughout history reflect uniformity and the idea of service above self. Some people dont see the need for the new policy. We are not gender neutral. Its worked for 40 years. Why change it now. We look better in a skirt than they do. Let us wear them. Suzanne with the move the Naval Academy joins the air force academy in the graduation uniform policy. Another move toward neutrality the possible changing of military titles. Although the term midshipmen is unlikely to be altered. In annapolis, Suzanne Kennedy, abc7 news. Michelle update on the disruption that caused major delays for marc and amtrak commuters. Overhead power issues north of Union Station for the problem. Marc and amtrak suspended Train Service in and out of station for a half hour this morning. Crews were able to make repairs quibblingly but the incident is under investigation. Metro was not affected. Jonathan traffic was a mess this morning. Crash that caused backups. Inhappened at 4 30 but dragged on. Trackertrailer overturned on the median on the outer loop of georgia avenue. Concrete debris scattered across both loop of the beltway. 20 disabled vehicles had to be pulled to the side of the road because of the damage. The road reopened but this is truck jackknifed on the beltway. We turn to Jamie Sullivan to look at traffic today. Jackknifing a big rig is not a good thing. Jamie absolutely not. The rain is not helping the commute. Take a look. You can see that the visibility has dropped. It is going to be an afternoon that is very, very wet for us. This is across the wilson bridge. Traveling on the 50s and the 60s the road spray. We are going to keep in mind traveling on the side streets, a lot of pedestrians trying to run across the street to get where they have to go. Please be aware. Move to the map. Crash closing down the ramp to get to 95. That cleared away. Big issue we have in virginia right now. If you approach 95 and get close to the capital beltway all lanes are blocked with the accident. Traveling trying to l need to know. Capital beltway on the inner loop on maryland 270 to 95 in maryland will take you 30 minutes. South of 95, the crash at the beltway. 295 leaving the city is jammed as well. That is a look at traffic.

Jonathan we are talking about a lot of activity in the weather department. Live picture from st. Marys county in clements, maryland. Further south you go, the higher risk of severe storm and isolated tornado. We have to bring doug hill in now. This is a day that hopping around. Doug this is all happening in the upper level energy. Few thousand feet above the ground. The winds are blowing 70 Miles Per Hour. If you get to flight level the winds are close to 100 Miles Per Hour. All of this is involved in bringing that potential energy to the surface. Get into it. A lot to share. Start with the tornado watch itself. Until 11 00. East of the blue ridge. If your county is lit up in yellow you are under the watch. Bottom of the screen, you see a red box that is a Tornado Warning in effect. That is well southwest of the Spotsylvania County. This will make more sense as we go along. This is the big line that could produce severe thunderstorms and isolated tornadoes. East of town we have a severe warning in fect for county and anne arundel. This is moving at 55 Miles Per Hour. That that is how fast the storm is moving. Plowing quickly up the bay. It will affect western shore of anne arundel county. The big story from woodstock to win chester to the pennsylvania line and charlottesville. That is a concern tonight. Closeup. Areas shady side. Look at the times here. This is moving so quickly, annapolis by 4 36. All the way to lake shore by 4 45. It is flying through the coastal sections of anne arundel county. Now lets talk about this storm. There are along the stretch of the squall line from the pennsylvaniamaryland border south, west of raleigh. Just to the east of charlotte. 11 separate Tornado Warnings in effect right now. There is every expectation that as the storms continue to develop and race north at a good slip, the whole line moves in our direction we have severe thunderstorms. I wouldnt say a likelihood but a good possibility we will have one tornado somewh the viewing area. This is the visible satellite picture. See the spot here, those are the clore skies clear skies. So some places the sun is out and blue skies. It is possible the clearing trend will come to the metro area. If it does dont think we are out of the woods because the sun is shining. Some timing from the future cast. This is the set inn now. Models say at 6 30 the line of the heaviest storms are approaching the area. The storms are moving 50 to 55 Miles Per Hour. From south to north. The line is moving slowly. We think it will shift over the by a at 8 30 tonight to the eastern and the western shore of the bay. We clear skies and we will have the gusty winds and the clearing sky throughout the day. Colder weather by friday. Quick look at the sevenday will show the temperatures drop. Tomorrow is cooler. Look what happens by sunday. The wind direction is back to 60 degrees and the sunshine. 63 on monday. Jonathan so 8 00, 9 00, it should quiet down . Doug 8 00, 8 30 it should move out. Few more hours to keep an eye on each cell to make sure it doesnt start spinning. Michelle thank you, doug. Jonathan ahead for us at 4 00 emotional visit to the d. C. Jail for congressman john lewis.
