in this area but nothing quite as significant as theirs. >> no. but i think tomorrow we'll get sunshine and the more sunshine we see tomorrow, the better chance we'll have of severe weather. sunshine

bad news, that warm front is about 400 miles away. we shall see. join at 11:00. right now let's start with a live look outside, our live michael and son weather cam, tweeted this earlier. this is a nice little picture, the cherry blossoms brightening up a pretty dull day. it's still 50 and winds southeast at 10. that's better than northeast. as long as they have that easterly component, we stay with this kind of air mass, maritime air mass. i widened the radar out. here we are, but way back in western maryland, west virginia and also into ohio these are big thunderstorms. that's a tornado warning around parkersburg around the river. this is not the same system per se. thunderstorms don't have a long lifespan, but the same front will roll through tomorrow that will trigger a line of very heavy if not severe thunderstorms. bus stop temperatures 48 to 60. i would take the umbrella just in case in the morning. morning and evening commute could be wet. evening commute we're more concerned about with the possibility of wet and also big storms. the threat will be strong winds in these storms, strong and damaging winds. here's futurecast. 10:00 tonight temps go up a little bit, low 50s. you see a little yellow and orange up toward hagerstown. that warm front will lift northward overnight slowly. we could see maybe a thunderstorm overnight even in the metro. temperatures by morning 50s, but look what happens. by 9:00 we're almost 60 downtown. by 1:00 we're 72 downtown. temperatures to the south in the upper 70s already, even cumberland by 1:00 will be 71 before the front goes through. by 3:00 now we're in the upper 70s. we see the line of showers and storms developing with the front that rolls through in time for rush hour. at 5:00 get ready for heavy rain and possibly some gusty winds, certainly a slow ride home tomorrow evening. the good news, by 6:30, boom, they're pretty much gone sent for southern maryland, calvert county and the southern neck. tomorrow night will be dry. by 8:30 we're clear in gaithersburg and leesburg with mid-60s for temperatures. tonight cloudy, milder late, showers and maybe a late thunderstorm, low temperatures 46 to 56. winds will try to turn southwest at 10. until they do we won't get rid of this air mass. by morning becoming partly sunny, breezy, warmer, shower or thunderstorm possible early, 50s and 60s. by afternoon partly sunny and warm. the more sun we see, better chance we'll have of heavier severe thunderstorms, high temperature 75 to 80, wind gusting southwest 10 to 20 with some higher gusts. day planner, maybe sprinkles at 5:00 and a lot of clouds, 9:00 maybe 63 and 72 at 1:00. 3 p.m. to 8 p.m. the time frame for the storms. once we get through tomorrow's yellow alert we're in good shape for the weekend, breezy and cooler saturday, upper 60s, sunshine sunday, near 70. we've got the parade on saturday and peak bloom this weekend. warmer on monday mid-70s, maybe a lit shower, maybe an early shower -- late shower, maybe an early shower on tuesday. 71, nats back in town, perhaps a shower late in the day. cbs icon bob schieffer is retiring this summer. the face the nation host began his

worth radio station earning $1 an hour. his first job at cbs came in 1969 quite by accident. >> i later found out i'd walked in on someone else's appointment and they thought in the beginning i was

what type of questions they're really going to ask you. >> reporter: but there are questions an employer can't ask. have you ever been asked a question you thought might be illegal? >> yes. i was once asked how old i was and i replied well, what difference does that make? i know that's the a question you're supposed to account. >> reporter: accountant lill nickelson is correct, but she may know more than some hiring managers. a nationwide career builder surveys finds about one in five employers asked a question of a candidate later discovered it was not legal. >> it's not relevant. it's not something to determine whether you would be able to perform in that job. >> reporter: questions off limits include what is your religious or political affiliation, if you're married, pregnant, disabled or in debt, do you drink or smoke socially? do you have children or plan to? jennifer bomwell said she's heard that one before. >> she avoided asking it directly, but they asked if i was hoping to have a family soon. >> reporter: if candidates feel they've been asked illegal questions, career builder says they can take legal action. >> if you really wanted to do that, you can file a claim with the government to have that company reviewed. >> more than 2,100 hiring and human resource managers across the industries participated in this survey. career builder is owned by gannett

shipping crate and a 3d printer is working overtime for a robot that has to be made in record time. >> the robot has to be able to basically stack a lot of stuff. >> reporter: loudoun county's robo loco already made an excellent award winning robot. >> we thought we were totally ready for tennessee because we had a plan and really cemented what we were going to do with the robot on the field. >> reporter: the team won second in regionals in knoxville, tennessee, and were invited to go to the world championships. >> as soon as it happened, the stadium went ballistic. it was a great experience. >> reporter: but the next morning their robot was gone. the chevy tahoe it was in had been stolen from the hotel parking lot. knoxville police say it was spotted in an area well known for chop shops. >> we thought it was an april fool's joke. >> we were shocked more than disappointed. it was a little weird like who steals a robot? >> reporter: fortunately the robo loco team won't have to start from scratch. they have this practice robot that they're starting to rebuild and get it all ready for the world competition. the team has been working after school and they'll be at it again all weekend long trying to recreate their robot. they'll have to ship it next week to st. louis where the world championships are held in two weeks. now the tahoe contained a lot of their equipment like joysticks. so some other robotics groups in loudoun and fairfax have sent in some new supplies and also some of their sponsors have come forward and agreed to pay the entire way and cover the costs of this robot and tomorrow morning there will be another announcement from another sponsor about funding efforts like this. so the only worry these kids have is getting this thing built in time to send the beginning of next week. i think they're going to do it, right? of course, they are. there's more kids coming tonight, right, guys? >> i know they're going to do it. you can't stop them. they are destined for greatness. that stolen tahoe is owned by a loudoun county high school. knoxville police say it is gps tracked and they found it at a chop shop area, but they are confident that it's already been torn apart and sold. former virginia governor bob mcdonnell made one final legal plea for freedom. in papers filed in a richmond court mcdonnell argues the favors he did for a wealthy businessman were routine courtesies, not bribery. his court filing was his last before his hearing for an appeal on may 12th. mcdonnell was sentenced to two years in prison on public corruption charges. millionaire robert durst appeared in a new orleans courtroom to plead not guilty to weapons charges. durst is accused of possessing a firearm after a felony conviction and marijuana. he is being held without bail. he is also charged in los angeles in the 2000 death of a long time friend. relatives of a redskins player killed in a botched burglary say they finally have closure. the last man linked to the killing of sean taylor pleaded guilty. under a plea deal accepted yesterday timmy brown will spend 18 years in prison. the 23-year-old is one of five men who drove to taylor's home

group that focuses on closing the opportunity gap for students in underresourced communities. if you want to see swan lake, you can see some version of it almost anywhere, but you've probably never seen it with african american dancers performing in both lead roles. >> that's because it never happened in the u.s. until tonight. if ever there were an assignment i wish i was on today, it is that one because you got to see the misty copeland. >> tonight misty copeland and brooklyn mack, when they step on stage, they're not just dancing, they'll be making history because as far as the ballet world can tell they're the first african american dancers to hold both major leads of swan lake. brooklyn mack grew in south carolina in a town of about 1,300 people and took his first ballet class at age 12. it was just after he saw his first ballet during a school field trip and decided to use it as leverage for football. >> i ran with that and said to my mom if you'll fito football tryouts, i'll be willing to take ballet lessons. >> reporter: misty copeland started ballet when she was 13, a late start for most female dancers. both are accomplished balance reason as, he the -- ballerinas, he with the washington ballet and she with the american ballet. they've danced their way through the world and even on commercials. both will star in tonight's premier of swan lake. >> when i invited misty, i wasn't initially sure i was going to put them together. i knew that there was a significance to that decision, but it took me a little while to get there. >> reporter: once the decision was made the pairing was significant. the first product of swan lake was well over 100 years ago, but surprisingly a major production has never featured two african american dancers as the lead characters. tonight an audience at the kennedy center will get to see two phenomenal dancers who happen to be making a little bit of history. >> it is a huge deal. it means a big step forward towards changing still existing misconceptions and stereotypes and preconceived notions about dancers of color in ballet. >> reporter: he's happy about that. >> i'm proud and honored to be a part of this monumental performance. >> this is the part i hate to have to say because lesli was so excited about misty copeland, but the two weren't rehearsing today. their first and only rehearsal was together yesterday, but this ballet is so physically grueling the dancers don't do a lot of show. the two will only perform in the show tonight and one more on sunday. >> thank you. it's going to be beautiful for everyone who gets to see them. swan lake is considered one of the most difficult ballets for dancers. because of that that is why you will not see them performing every night. in this production there are seven shows, but they have four different casts. amazing. coming up at 6:00 tonight cameras that should have been operating during a t were not and that could land a driver in prison for more than a decade. >> but first the d.c. native who made it big in hollywood has taken on a new role as an author. >> more like march here, hang onto this umbrella. you'll need it through tomorrow. we widened the radar. notice the yellow area there west of cumberland, that's a severe thunderstorm watch. we have a yellow alert for us tomorrow. we'll talk about the possibility of us having severe weather as well. we aren't looking for just any college students. we're looking for the fighters. the focused. and formidable. with gpas that include grit. perseverance. ambition. who want professors who'll know them by name see who they can be... students who want more than a degree on graduation day... they want a career. if you're this kind of student you're our kind of different. devry university. different. on purpose. taking a look at what is trending today, this weekend she will host saturday night live, but the actress has a book deal in her future. >> the native washingtonian and star of the series empire is going to write a book about her childhood, single parenthood and tv role. the 44-year-old henson grew up in southeast washington, graduated from howard university, her book to be released next year. in california, san francisco bay area several restaurants are taking a new twist on the popular restaurant week. >> they are promoting wild food week with professional chefs serving up meals made from weeds, wild onions to bermuda buttercup and this is to educate the public on edible weeds that could be in your own backyard, but not all weeds are edible. the chefs say if you don't know what you're doing, they could be poisonous, so do not eat them. >> this is like deer alley around here. coming up how new technology is making the new wracking task of sitting still for an mri seem mor in tonight's health alert having an mri can be a daunting experience, but now new technology is making those tests more accurate by helping you relax. >> you can't have the popcorn, but you can bring your favorite movie to your next mri. >> reporter: mandy monastery opens the door to her office, so to speak, with color changing lights and a faux skylights. the relaxing atmosphere is home to an mri scanner, but the real attraction is this pair of going with les. >> it al -- goggles. >> it allows them to go into the scanner and not see they're in there. it's really half the battle. some people can close their eyes and get through it. some can't. >> reporter: our lady of the lake livingston is the first in the area to offer cinema vision. parents can watch a dvd or anything on their ipod. with some scans lasting an hour or more keeping a patient completely still is critical for the images. radiologists have said it's made a difference. >> i am very claustrophobic, so i was very nervous to go into the magnet to begin with, but with the screen being far away, i was there an hour and it didn't even feel that way. >> reporter: even though the goggles are sitting on my face, the screen looks like it's about 5 feet away. you feel like you're in a theater or your living room. the headset offers seamless communication with the control room and it's proved very effective with pediatric patients. young children often require sedation at mri. >> we're able to scan them without sedation here. any time you can avoid sedation, it's always the better route. >> reporter: a virtual solution to a reality many would rather forget. >> the new movie goggles are also welcomed by parents because most children who undergo mris are usually sedated. a medical study is showing promise in treating hiv. researcher at rockefeller university found the treatment dramatically reduced the amount of the virus in a patient's blood in just one week, but the treatment will likely need to be used in combination with other drugs because resistance will change after a while. doing arts and crafts may be the best way to preserve your memory. a new mayo clinic study finds people are less likely to develop memory or thinking problems. engaging the mind may protect neurons, the building blocks of the brain. that's a look at some of today's top health stories. this is a yellow alert day. now here's wusa9 first alert weather. >> it's pretty cold today. >> it's miserable. it's 48, drizzle and more like march. good news, bad news, tomorrow we'll make 80 in some spots, but the more sunshine we see, the better chance we'll have of big thunderstorms. we have a yellow alert tomorrow for that reason. live look outside, fog, drizzle, not chamber of commerce weather. temperature 48, dropped 2 degrees at national last hour. winds are still east, southeast at 10. so that easterly component, you won't get rid of this maritime air mass. it will take until tomorrow morning late probably to get rid of all of it. the radar right now, we're fine, just some drizzle, but to the west in western maryland, west virginia and into ohio big thunderstorms. look at all the lightning with these storms approaching pittsburgh and just north of morgantown. this is actually a severe thunderstorm watch until 10:00. i think tomorrow somewhere in the metro we'll have a severe thunderstorm watch. consequently yellow alert tomorrow for strong storms. this is the real deal. bus stop temperatures tomorrow 48 to 60. i would take the umbrella just to be safe, a couple early showers possible. the morning and evening commute could be wet. the evening commute could be stormy. threats, strong wind with these thunderstorms. futurecast 10:00 tonight, a couple showers around, maybe a heavier shower toward hagerstown. temperatures stationary, mid- 40s to low 50s. by governor a.m. we spill have temperatures around 50 -- by 5 a.m. we still have temperatures around 50 and a couple showers to the west. at the bus stop might need the umbrella. by 9:00 a few showers developing toward hagerstown and cumberland and temperatures getting there, back in the upper 50s with clouds. get some breaks in the clouds. by 1:00 we're in the downtown, leesburg and manassas with a few showers. what we're really concerned about is a solid line of showers and storms with the cold front itself. that will occur between 3 p.m. and 8. look at the temperatures now ahead -- 8 p.m. look at the temperatures now. big thunderstorms are possible tomorrow and unfortunately that will coincide with the evening rush hour. just allow extra time. 77 at 5:00 with showers even into southern maryland they could still be rather heavy, if not severe by 7:00, 8:00 into southern sections of st. mary's county and calvert county into the northern neck. if you have plans friday night, you're okay. cloudy tonight late, showers and neighbor a late thunderstorm, temperatures 40 -- maybe a late thunderstorm, temperatures 46 to 56. by morning could see a shower or thunderstorm early, then becoming partly sunny, breezy and warmer. by afternoon partly sunny, warm, showers and storms. some could be heavy. some could be severe, highs 75 to 80. the more sun, better chance of big thunderstorms. day planner, 54 at 7:00. temps start going up finally, 58 at 9:00, 63 at 11:00, 73 by 1:00. not much
