Six minutes after 6 00. Metro taking advantage of the long Labor Day Weekend. You know what that means. That means you need to plan ahead to avoid being late. Which metro stations are closed for track work. Take a look outside. The sun is going to start coming out any minute now and the heat will return too. Storm team 4 meteorologist amelia segal when metro opens this morning two stations will be closed. You cannot get at Bethesda Medical Center on the red line. You will have to take a bus from Friendship Heights or grove. The closures last through monday. Same for longer wait times on the orange and green and silver lines. We have a breeze in the air early this morning but thats not going to last too long. Yeah. Pretty warm. I know. Another hot and muggy day, perhaps ahead. Amelia . Exactly. Today warmer than yesterday. Our high yesterday 86, High Temperature today 92 degrees. If you are outside throughout the day yesterday you noticed the humidity increasing. Well, the mugginess is here to stay for tomorrow, monday, lasting into tuesday. So hot and humid today, one of your weather headlines and as we get later into the day well be tracking scattered thunderstorms and rain on storm team 4 a good chance youre dealing with rain, about a 60 chance later today. Again, storms could potentially be strong later today. When we say strong what do we mean . Well, the best chance of seeing Severe Weather would be in the form of some heavy rain. The storms, though, likely quickly moving so that isolated flash flood risk is fairly low for later today but know if youre outside you could get stuck in a downpour. We could see some high winds and any thunderstorms that could produce some very isolated wind damage. The best chance of these strong to severe thunderstorms im seeing will be north of washington, areas like frederick and Montgomery Countys in maryland. Now as we look to tomorrow were looking at much more dry weather in the forecast but here on storm team 4 radar, as we work our way throughout the day today, again, were looking at dry conditions across the area right now. However, i am tracking this line of rain back over west virginia. As this continues to advance into the area most of this will fall apart. However, there could be an isolated shower around the midday hours as far east as areas of frederick, loudoun and fokker fokker counties. This will be the greatest concerning where were seeing the strong to Severe Weather. Namely heavy rain around the afternoon and evening hours. Notice how the Severe Weather risk continues into new england and southern most point of that risk. Good news there. Future weather throughout the day today. Here we are at 8 00 a. M. On sunday. Were looking at for the most part dry conditions at that point through the midday hours, most of us remain dry, more clouds than sun throughout the day today. Here we are 3 00 starting to track scattered thunderstorms west. Notice the heavier activity by the brighter colors. 7 30, some potentially had heavy rain moving through the area. Well continue to track rain and thunderstorms overnight tonight. Now for tomorrow a High Temperature of 91 degrees. Theres the chance of a morning shower. You could be dealing with an afternoon thunderstorm but again, the best chance of rain will be later today. Have plans to grill outside, continue with those plans. Get ready to move inside quickly if you hear thunder. Tuesday, thunderstorms are possible late in the day. Look at the high on tuesday. 95, angie. Wow. All right. Hot. Not used to that. No. Its been a nice summer but now ending with this heat wave. I know. Next up we have reporters notebook for you. This is a look at stories that are affecting our community right now. Were going to be back in 15 minutes with more top stories. Good morning and welcome to reporters notebook. A lot much of issues to talk about. Well start out with the washington redskins, dan snyder yesterday, earlier this week, talking to Comcast Sports net saying they are in the process of designing a new stadium. So weve got d. C. , virginia, maryland. All under consideration. What are we to make of this . Should we talk about the design or the location . Exactly. Lets start with design. He wants to make it retro like rfk was. He wants it to bounce. What i found interesting was, he said that there are actually firms that will design the stadium that will bounce. Yes. I mean thats what caught my attenti attention. When we talk about location then, of course, what comes into play is the r word. Do you go where the path of least resistance. But as i was saying earlier, i quite honestly dont think thats going to be a major factor. What i think will be a major factor, what kind of tax abatements i can get, whos going to pay for the infrastructure to make the stadium work. I think thats really going to be the key factor of where the location is. I think thats usually always the issues. I think youve got a couple tentacles going on here that are spreading out. One, lets remember the regular season is about to start. Right. So the conversation most of the offseason other than Robert Griffith iii has been about the teams nicknamep. If you shift the focus about a new stadium possibly returning to d. C. , it kind of moves the name off of the front pages in a way. Because the commissioner doesnt want to be talking about the name of a team as the season starts. Now were talking about a possible new stadium. I think the other issue is, i think snyder actually would prefer, even though hes saying virginia, maryland and d. C. , i think he realizes the wizards are downtown, the capitals are downtown, the nationals have a new stadium. Yeah. And we have the biggest sports franchise is out in the suburbs where theres complaining about parking and metro and not a lot of infrastructure around that. For snyder, even though hes talking about ten years down the road, i would think he would want a stadium in washington, d. C. And lets not forget also, this is a young man who grew up a fan of the football team, he grew up with the team in rfk in d. C. In their glory years and so he wants that stadium rocking again and he wants a stadium where he can possibly get a super bowl. Certainly has, you know, you can tear down rfk and pretty much have everything in place. You certainly dont have to do Environmental Impact studies and that type of thing. You may have something there because you also have to look at your fan base. Right. D. C. Is changing. It is. You know, its much younger and youre right, youre talking about ten years down the road here so where will d. C. Be ten years down the road versus where will the suburbs be . But its got to be a win win for the redskins and dan snyder. Until then, playing maryland and virginia off d. C. And get as much as you can. Thats where the money comes in. Who comes up with the best financial package is what its going to boil down to. You heard tommy wells kind of making yeah. Well, if you really want a secondrate place go to virginia. Already talking smack. Already, yeah, exactly. Prince georges county theyre sort of stuck here in the middle. Theyre looking for economic development. Were talking about the fbi possibly coming and what baker doesnt want is to have a conversation that fbi may be coming, but the redskins may be leaving. So thats an issue. Hes already put out a statement saying weve worked with the team, we want the team here so thats sort of a dicey situation. The power of shawn baker, if i had a chance between the Washington Football Team and the fbi, i would take the tax base the fbi gives me yearround vers sus the seasonal aspect of a football team. Lets stay in maryland and move up the road to baltimore. We saw the latest casino opening to huge crowds in its horseshoe baltimore. What does this mean for casinos in Prince Georges County and what does this mean for the state . Well Prince Georges County has the next one coming. That one isnt coming until 2016. Right. Its tax revenue, its always we weits going to be controversial like the lottery is controversial and a casino is controversial, but if you look at it, it looks like this is the wave to come. If were talking about baltimore versus Prince Georges County, what will this do for the surrounding areas. Baltimore is always looking, obviously, to expand their tax base. Prince georges county is looking to do that also. So i believe these casinos will be ways for the county exec and governor to look at this and says is this something we can do beyond this, beyond five or six, can we build more. Is there a threshold. Thats the question that will come up. Is there a threshold for how many casinos can we have. Can we be the new las vegas. You dont want to be atlantic city. Thats exactly the point i was going to raise. I mean, at some point theres a saturation problem. I mean, you only can support so many cas tos. Now 2400 people will be employed or more. Half i understand are from baltimore. Initially thats a good piece. You know, i spent a good 20 years in detroit, and the casinos were supposed to be the savior for detroit. It obviously hasnt been. You have to be very, very careful. You can oversaturate, so here you are, baltimore, delaware, and now, you know, prince georges Prince Georges County. Look, this initial blowout of course. Everybody wants to come to a party, but the reality is lets check it five years from now and see if the lines are there to get in. Lets move in to Montgomery County, gentlemen. State corruption investigators in maryland decided not to press charges against Board Members over this issue of credit card purchases by Montgomery County school Board Members. It seems like this is over, no criminal misconduct found, but certainly theyre going to change the way they travel and expense things we think from here on out. No criminal misconduct but no comment about bad judgment. I think this is what it get downs to. The judgment of the school board, but this is pretty much how they had been doing it all along. A parent or one of the Advisory Councils for parents sort of questioned some of the spending that had been going on. I think you to give the school board some credit that they reacted, they put the expense reports online, they showed transparency, so i think once it came out, their reaction to it was the right way. But once you saw the details of what was going on, the school Board Members spending 500 for two computer bags, one cool board member, a taxicab ride of 497, almost 500, she had problems in terms of driving, but again we have a perception issue and beyond perception, these are taxpayer dollars that are involved here. This is a Ripple Effect because we see this in d. C. Also. Yeah. I mean this is a major problem that every corporation has. When you look at the shrinking tax dollars, youre right, you just have to put transparency in place. Thats really what it boils down to. Theres so much temptation when you have a credit card that you dont have to meet the Monthly Payment for and then you go out of town and youre in a hotel, and so you decide, am i going to have tacos for dinner or a lobster for dinner . Its not my money. Its the states. So the key here is transparency and i think they did the exact thing of putting stop measures in place. Got to take a break and well come right back on reporters notebook. Lot more to get to so stick around. Welcome back to reporters notebook. We were talking about the Montgomery County school board and misusing or overusing credit cards. Government taxpayer money. We have an issue of the same type of taxpayer money being used for travel outside the region when it comes to some d. C. Council members. Talk about how thats being addressed and how much money were talking about really . Were talking about 40,000 is the issue here. Once again, the d. C. Council does not need this at all. It seems like its a continuing story about something with suvs or spending money going out of town. I think whats going to happen here, is that changes will have to be made. I think the model that were talking about in d. C. Already, is that those who are in executive agencie
