kevin? kevin: michelle, this is day five in the search for nicole mittendorff. i can tell you the weather is cooperating. but the search area is still quite large. this is a map of shenandoah national park. skyline drive cuts across the mountain ridge for a hundred miles. but this area i'm circling is the spot that the crews focus the effort on. this is because the black dot represents a park ranger saturday evening found nicole mittendorff's 2009 mini cooper abandoned. close to a hundred people from more than a dozen state, local and non-profit agencies are now on the ground here at shenandoah. there is a makeshift command post tracking the search crews in real time with the g.p.s. technology. the park service has placed yellow tape at many of the trail heads here to ensure hikers do not hamper the operation by accident. as of an hour ago the authorities told me the search dogs go but no one has stumbled across any physical evidence such as mittendorff's clothing or jewelry. because the search zone is 3,500 feet above sea level crews are traversing steep wooded terrain and working against the sunlight. >> it's tough. as an example, yesterday we had a crew of special operations folks who were repelling the canyon. this is a very, very rough area. it's a canyon. it's called white oak canyon for a reason. we are searching the canyon areas. this is very, very, very rough terrain. kevin: the sun is scheduled to set around 7:56 tonight. that is less than four hours away. all new at 5:00, i'll share the big revelation nicole mittendorff's firefighting

stephen tschida reports five of them sent crews to on silver hill court. it started in a basement unit and quickly spread. thick smoke. filled hallways. >> very quickly in a matter of minutes. >>

on 66, get ready for the accident. slowing you down as you head outbound through centreville. this is near route 28. of course, you can see that our left lane is taken out. everyone getting by over using the three right lanes. but let's talk about the backup. as we move to centreville. we will see it of course. currently at 20 miles per hour. a little heavier than what we are used to in the stretch before route 28. yes, slow through fairfax. it's not terrible, though. if you are traveling on 66 outside the beltway near gallows we are in the 20's. traveling in d.c. is not terrible. but we have a crash. look at this. a big backup on the outer loop of the beltway. route 202. the right lane is blocked. it will take you 24 minutes to get from route 4 to route 50. this is not the only beltway issue. we have an accident on the interloop. right near college park. the waze map, the wazers are checking in with the accident but it's just a minor accident. as we pull out. slowing from 95 continuing closer to college park where we have the accident. it's not a big backup. nothing major to worry about right now. that is a look at traffic. back to you. michelle: thank you. severe storms are wreaking look at that. hard to watch. houston was drenched with more than a foot of rain and more is expected today. flooding has already caused more than $5 billion in damage. number of drivers stranded in the trapped vehicle on the highway. they had to be rescued. the flood victims stayed in their homes because they are afraid that looters would move in if they left. >> it's heart-breaking. we have people that want out now because they don't have electric. the current is strong. hopefully it won't rain much longer. michelle: they need a breakfast. the national guard is on standby. ready to rescue anyone who needs help. seven people died as a result of severe flooding. jonathan: situation there is dire. michelle: yeah. doug: these are the scenes you expect to see in august and september after an area hit by a hurricane or tropical storm. not in april. not like this. jonathan: this just a rainstorm. doug: the upper level front moving through. we will get your first chance of rain in a long time on friday. start with a time lapse. yesterday we were at 82. we are expecting the cooler air. it's still comfortable. 72 at silver spring. 74 in ashburn and dale city. 70 reported in fort washington and 71 in waldorf. the high mve we will start to get the warmer temperatures back. i don't think we get in the 80's like 86 in charleston. warm front is bringing clouds. cold front late tomorrow night. the western zone could be a shower. it will be during the day on friday we see scattered showers and maybe the afternoon thunderstorms. after that front passes through, back on track for a beautiful weekend weather. here we are moving through the day on id from. scattered showers by 5:00. isolated thunderstorms possible. the front goes through. clouds may be cloudy saturday morning but clearing skies and the weather will get better. a beautiful day tomorrow even with the clouds. for the next 70 days -- that is my nightmare forecast. seven days. jonathan: you're that good. get that right. we have a nice weekend on friday. hot day. 80 for monday. the next chance of shower is tuesday. jonathan: if you give three-month forecast people will be happy with you. doug: yeah. michelle: thank you. coming up at 4:00 -- >> i'm kellye lynn in arlington where a high school teacher has been selected to take a trip to the south pole. we will tell you about the upcoming expedition in "spotlight on education." scott: after resounding victories in new york are other candidates in the field reconsidering what they are doing? i'm chris van hollen, and i approve this message. narrator: an attack ad from the campaign for donna edwards. so untrue. so outrageous that president obama said, "pull it down." the obama white house called the ad on chris van hollen and the nra "misleading." the sun says van hollen and president obama have the exact same position. the post praised van hollen as a "leading champion on gun safety," and condemned the edwards ads that "mislead" voters. donna edwards. will she say anything to win an election? michelle: donald trump is the only republican who can mathematically get to 1237 before the convention. but is it likely? chief political correspondent scott thuman at the abc7 capitol hill bureau. what do you say on this? scott: even if he doesn't get to the magic number of 1237. he will continue to say he is the main candidate and the only one that has a realistic shot and the only one to be considered. ted cruz will argue the contrary with john kasich. they are thinking fine, we may not get to that number either but as long as could have issues on the convention floor in july. that is why they are staying in it. on the flip side, we are hearing on the left from bernie sanders. hillary clinton had a big win in new york as well. she continues to net more votes and delegates than he does. result, she sounded a bit last night like saying this is my race now. bernie sanders saying they are staying in this until the final vote are cast. but at the same time we heard from chad devine, a senior adviser saying they have to reassess after the next five state vote. that is maryland on the 26th. michelle: moving forward for clinton, does he shift the focus from sanders to zeroing in on trump? scott: we are seeing that already. some of the lines that she puts out are really more against trump than they are against bernie sanders. i think you will see more super pac ads in that direction as well. wrapped up need to focus on the general election in their minds. they are doing that but trying to do it with the subtlety not to overlook bernie sanders who put up a spectacular fight so far. michelle: all right. thank you so much. we'll be watching trump event on the eastern shore of maryland. jonathan: thanks. coming up at "abc7 news at 4:00" -- take a load off. we will explain what they are and how they could make a difference the next time you fly. michelle: later, get out the brooms. live in philly as the caps try to go for the sweep. jonathan: but first -- >> we will get you the answers. we will hold those accountable. we're not targeting any persons or people. nobody is off-limits either. jonathan: the first criminal charges in the flint water crisis. find out why michigan's attorney general says it is just the be i don't believe that big money can buy votes -- not in our district. and i won't claim to have single handily passed just about every bill in annapolis. we can't settle for the same old politics, not when our basic rights are being threatened by trump and cruz. i'll stand up to their bigotry and be a passionate voice for maryland women and families. in tv and in business, i built relationships. as a woman in the house, i'll do the same to get things done. i'm kathleen mathews and i approve this message. stefs 29-year-old charles simpson charged in the case. the 17-year-old, the same 17-year-old who is charged with shooting washington. the 15-year-old at the deanwood metro station. here is what the chief had to say. >> first-degree murder while armed. the 29-year-old charles sims. and 17-year-old bellamy. stephen: the 17-year-old linked to the shooting death of a 15-year-old at the deanwood metro station in march. as f case, baldwin was suspended from the secret service because he, himself, had been charged with the attempted burglary. but the charges against the 17-year-old already in d.c. jail. he will be facing the charges very soon before a district judge. reporting live, stephen tschida, abc7 news. jonathan: thanks. two years ago it was supposed to be a simple move in an effort to try to save money. what it has turned into is a monumental nightmare. today, the first criminal charges were filed on what has become a water crisis in flint, michigan. allen is here with the -- alison starling is here. alison: it touched off a chain of events that left the city's drinking water contaminated with lead. the first wave of criminal charges filed in the flint water crisis. >> there are so many things went so terribly wrong and tragically wrong in flint. alison: michelle attorney general announcing three officials charged with misconduct and evidence tampering. the environmental regulators and the supervisor face up to five years in prison. >> they failed innary responsibilities to protect the health and the safety of families of flint. >> flint's drinking water became contaminated when the city switched to the flint river as the water source for more than a year. the attorney general allegedly say officials knowingly lied about the water test required before the transition. leaving 100,000 residents exposed for months to potentially hazardous levels of lead. >> no one is above the wall. not on my watch. the investigators say it does not end here. for them it's personal. >> it hurts friends personal close friends. -- they live here. alison: before the charges were announced more than 20 senate democrats called for massive new investments in the water infrastructure systems. this is because of the concerns over lead contamination all over the country. they say this water crisis in flint was a wake-up call. michelle: eck qua dore was shaken up as they recover from the deadly 7.8-magnitude quake that hit last weekend. this morning's tremor was 6.1. it was enough to drive people from the homes to create a panic. this comes as the death toll reaches 553. that number is expected to rise. jonathan: turn to the weather. today was perfect. doug: yeah. not as warm but crystal clear skies. air was dry. the pollen count is high for trees. low for mold spores. no surprise we are right in the heart of the tree pollen season. the grass pollen go from low to medium and that is next up on the allergy list. 70 degrees for winchester. 73 in cumberland. and 74 in petersburg, west virginia. 7. 63 in the annapolis. it's influenced by the winds acros cooler at patuxent river naval air station as well. 42 to 49 overnight. comfortably cool. not bad at all. the cloudiness showing up on the satellite west will overspread. sunshine in the morning. clouds in the afternoon. the front will turn to the warm front and the cold front will move in to town. that suggests it will be cloudy by tomorrow night and the chance to see the showers in the area friday morning and even a chance of thunderstorms on friday afternoon, as the front goes through the region. once we get through the front and the rain is here moving through late night in the mountains to move across the area on friday. the afternoon thunder clears out in time for the weekend. more for you in a minute. jonathan: thanks. michelle: well, if i say crater you probably think deep, dark hole. nasa scientists from finding that is not the case everywhere. this is a photo of a huge crater on the dwarf planet. you can see that it looks shiny and bright. the crater is about 21 miles wide. shift don when it was 240 miles from the surface. jonathan: 21 miles wide. i wonder what it would have banged into that planet. jonathan: check this out. time lapse from the national weather service that shows the stars in the night sky. beautiful. swirling around the north star. that is polaris. it's estimated to be 433 lightyears from earth. so that is down the block. michelle? michelle: thank you. arlington teacher is
