leshan, wusa9. >> thank you, bruce. that search warrant also says investigators seized cell phones, letters, lap tops, but we do not know what they found on those letters or those devices. let's get to a developing story out of wyoming where three people from our area have been killed in a plane crash. it happened saturday in cody. that is in northwest wyoming near the montana border, killed in the crash were joyce bartoo of d.c., diane stubbs and her husband gerald stubbs both from annapolis. the pilot from colorado also died in that crash. the group took off from share sheridan county airport and turned toward cody and then crashed. the flag flown at half staff in honor of the service members killed in chattanooga les week. it happened only after -- last week. it happened only after criticism from house speaker john boehner. scott broom is on the hill with reaction to how it all happened today. how did this just get started, scott? >> reporter: well, there's a lot of symbolism that goes with the flag, a lot of emotion and patriotism. as of this morning the flag was flying half staff here at the capitol by order of john boehner, but over at the white house it didn't start flying at half staff until about 1:30 this afternoon and just about everybody i talked to today out here on the mall seemed mystified about why this is an issue at all. why in the wake of five servicemen killed in chattanooga was the flag still flying at the top of the pole at the white house and other federal buildings today? one man in florida is so angry about it he went on a mission to lower flags there all on his own. >> they won't do it at the white house, but we'll do it at the gas stations. >> reporter: and war heroes calling out the president on twitter. "and one more thing, sir. lower the flag," he wrote. the issue gained immense traction online. about a about a took to twitter himself announcing -- john boehner took to twitter himself announcing he was lowering the flags to half staff at the capitol. >> it was very curious. i couldn't figure out why they were down one place and not down the other place. >> reporter: all of it leaving visitors to the city today mystified. >> i don't know why they're divided on it. the reason why i think it ought to happen and they ought to do it is it helps unite the country. >> i think they should do it. >> especially obama and our military, i don't believe he supports them. >> reporter: does it surprise you there was a debate about this today? >> watching the news and everything that's been going on with flags in many states it doesn't surprise me at all. >> even notice less than 1% of americans wear the uniform that 100% of americans honor your sacrifices and your service. >> reporter: meanwhile president obama today spoke to veterans in pittsburgh remembering the chattanooga victims. finally this afternoon after the speech the flag came down to half staff at the white house by presidential proclamation. "we ask god to watch over the fallen, the families and their communities." beyond that proclamation there's been no explanation from the president or the white house that suggests any of the president's thinking on all of this. the words are just in a proclamation and that's what stands. bitter critics are seeing this as footing fromming instead of an honor to the victims -- foot dragging instead of an honor to the victims of chattanooga. >> thank you, scott. now the president's proclamation to direct the flags to remain at half staff at federal buildings through july 25th. maryland's governor is following suit. the big storms we are tracking are now just a bit east of town. first alert chief meteorologist topper shutt joins us now from the weather center and what are you seeing on

heavy rainfall actually. that is kind of on the outskirts of the beltway, annandale and if you're headed out i-66, you'll run into some pretty heavy rain. that should move off to the south and east. i think it will hold together. so i would suggest some pretty good rains in cameron and eventually toward braddock and eventually into the i-95 corridor in the next 45 minutes. to the north we go. this was heavy at 1 time. now it's kind of moving down to the southeast, moving down for a shower in frederick at about 5:24. temps not as hot as yesterday mainly because of cloud cover. it's about the

the 18-year-old sitting back there with her mother, she graduated from maya angelo charter school and works in the summer jobs program. in the fall she'll enroll as a freshman at shaw university and she almost didn't make it because she ran into somebody on pcp. the most serious injury was to a 19-year-old woman who is alive today because d.c. police arrived with the training and the kit to

numerous. the good news for commuters that are not home yet. let's talk about our 3-degree guarantee. we went 93 today. how did we do? join us tonight at 11:00 and we'll let you know. right now one reason we're feeling pretty good is 91 right now, dew point in the low 70s, pretty miserable out there, relative humidity 51%. winds out of the west at 9. the front will not clear the metro area until about 10:00. here's the radar over the past hour. you can see one storm kind of between hagerstown and frederick kind of go from a pretty hefty storm, move down 270 and e out altogether. this is a pretty good storm we showed you earlier in fairfax county. we'll actually kind of zoom out. there's still storms north of pittsburgh and morgan town. those are the storms associated with the cold front. a couple of those could get into cumberland, hagerstown the next hour, hour and a half and that's about it for storms tonight we think. rainfall rates with this one over an inch per hour headed toward oldtown. so heavy rain down 395 and parts of the beltway moving off south and east and, in fact, it should go into oldton in the next three, four, five minutes and eventually over toward clinton at about 5:46 and i think that storm will actually hold together. i'll widen even farther out. we have some big storms in southern maryland crossing the northern neck into reedville and the

and by lunchtime you can walk to lunch, no worries, you won't even perspire, low to mid-80s across the metro area. dry air masses heat up quickly and dry off quickly. we'll have very warm days because the humidity is less. what does that mean? when you perspire, that can evaporate and that's what cools you. nothing is vietnam rating outside right now -- is evaporating right now outside, tell you that. on the day planner 71 at 7:00, 76 at 9:00, 80 by 11:00 and 84 with sunshine by 1 p.m. very nice again on thursday, 88 and still nice on friday, 90 but not humid. it will be very comfortable. low

leshan, wusa9. >> thank you, bruce. that search warrant also says investigators seized cell phones, letters, lap tops, but we do not know what they found on those letters or those devices. let's get to a developing story out of wyoming where three people from our area have been killed in a plane crash. it happened saturday in cody. that is in northwest wyoming near the montana border, killed in the crash were joyce bartoo of d.c., diane stubbs and her husband gerald stubbs both from annapolis. the pilot from colorado also died in that crash. the group took off from share sheridan county airport and turned toward cody and then crashed. the flag flown at half staff in honor of the service members killed in chattanooga les week. it happened only after -- last week. it happened only after criticism from house speaker john boehner. scott broom is on the hill with reaction to how it all happened today. how did this just get started, scott? >> reporter: well, there's a lot of symbolism that goes with the flag, a lot of emotion and patriotism. as of this morning the flag was flying half staff here at the capitol by order of john boehner, but over at the white house it didn't start flying at half staff until about 1:30 this afternoon and just about everybody i talked to today out here on the mall seemed mystified about why this is an issue at all. why in the wake of five servicemen killed in chattanooga was the flag still flying at the top of the pole at the white house and other federal buildings today? one man in florida is so angry about it he went on a mission to lower flags there all on his own. >> they won't do it at the white house, but we'll do it at the gas stations. >> reporter: and war heroes calling out the president on twitter. "and one more thing, sir. lower the flag," he wrote. the issue gained immense traction online. about a about a took to twitter himself announcing -- john boehner took to twitter himself announcing he was lowering the flags to half staff at the capitol. >> it was very curious. i couldn't figure out why they were down one place and not down the other place. >> reporter: all of it leaving visitors to the city today mystified. >> i don't know why they're divided on it. the reason why i think it ought to happen and they ought to do it is it helps unite the country. >> i think they should do it. >> especially obama and our military, i don't believe he supports them. >> reporter: does it surprise you there was a debate about this today? >> watching the news and everything that's been going on with flags in many states it doesn't surprise me at all. >> even notice less than 1% of americans wear the uniform that 100% of americans honor your sacrifices and your service. >> reporter: meanwhile president obama today spoke to veterans in pittsburgh remembering the chattanooga victims. finally this afternoon after the speech the flag came down to half staff at the white house by presidential proclamation. "we ask god to watch over the fallen, the families and their communities." beyond that proclamation there's been no explanation from the president or the white house that suggests any of the president's thinking on all of this. the words are just in a proclamation and that's what stands. bitter critics are seeing this as footing fromming instead of an honor to the victims -- foot dragging instead of an honor to the victims of chattanooga. >> thank you, scott. now the president's proclamation to direct the flags to remain at half staff at federal buildings through july 25th. maryland's governor is following suit. the big storms we are tracking are now just a bit east of town. first alert chief meteorologist topper shutt joins us now from the weather center and what are you seeing on live doppler 9000? >> we're seeing a few storms which is good news. i think many folks will get home with dry roads. we'll widen the radar out a couple hours and most of the storms now south of town into prince george's county with heavier activity earlier into southern maryland. there are a couple of storms that have just popped up. this one is pretty heavy. you see the red there? it's pretty heavy rainfall actually. that is kind of on the outskirts of the beltway, annandale and if you're headed out i-66, you'll run into some pretty heavy rain. that should move off to the south and east. i think it will hold together. so i would suggest some pretty good rains in cameron and eventually toward braddock and eventually into the i-95 corridor in the next 45 minutes. to the north we go. this was heavy at 1 time. now it's kind of moving down to the southeast, moving down for a shower in frederick at about 5:24. temps not as hot as yesterday mainly because of cloud cover. it's about the same air mass. 91 downtown, 90 in leesburg. we'll factor in the humidity and it feels like it's 98 downtown and in leesburg. we'll come back. the cold front itself is still back up towards pittsburgh. we'll tell you when the showers will finally end and how long the low humidity will last behind the front. a neighbor goes off on pcp stabbing four women and leaving one of them fighting for her life.

dangers of synthetic marijuana and pcp. well, today we got the chance to talk to people who in the past 24 hours survived a very vicious attack of a woman suspected of being on pcp. lincoln heights

altercation. so she came back with knives and mace spraying everyone. >> reporter: her mother says the assailant was no stranger. it's somebody you think you know? >> yeah. in a see every day. i watch her son for her. >> reporter: and the drugs turned -- >> i take the baby from her because she's high off the pcp. >> reporter: if you don't live out here, you probably won't understand all of this. the 18-year-old sitting back there with her mother, she graduated from maya angelo charter school and works in the summer jobs program. in the fall she'll enroll as a freshman at shaw university and she almost didn't make it because she ran into somebody on pcp. the most serious injury was to a 19-year-old woman who is alive today because d.c. police arrived with the training and the kit to fashion a tourniquet for her arm. >> it's truly unnecessary. something really needs to be done about this epidemic. >> reporter: now by text message police chief cathy lanier told me today they're trying to get these tourniquet kits into the hands of all police and they already have saved other lives out there. we think there's a followup story and we'll try to have that for you tomorrow. we should point out the woman suspected in these assaults that was on pcp is under arrest tonight. back to you guys. >> sounds like some scary moments there, bruce. police chief cathy lanier says police

to determine if that explosion came from the worker cooking meth inside the government lab. >> i'm floored. that's all i can say. >> it's terrible. i can't believe it. >> oh, great. breaking bad is just around in our neighborhood. >> reporter: indeed the scenario brings to mind the hit tv series breaking bad in which a high school chemistry teacher learns to manufacture meth to make money. >> i'm sure there's a lot of people that tried to reenact that show. >> reporter: at an entrance to the sprawling nist campus a sign warns visitors not to bring in explosives. that nist employee was a

numerous. the good news for commuters that are not home yet. let's talk about our 3-degree guarantee. we went 93 today. how did we do? join us tonight at 11:00 and we'll let you know. right now one reason we're feeling pretty good is 91 right now, dew point in the low 70s, pretty miserable out there, relative humidity 51%. winds out of the west at 9. the front will not clear the metro area until about 10:00. here's the radar over the past hour. you can see one storm kind of between hagerstown and frederick kind of go from a pretty hefty storm, move down 270 and e out altogether. this is a pretty good storm we showed you earlier in fairfax county. we'll actually kind of zoom out. there's still storms north of pittsburgh and morgan town. those are the storms associated with the cold front. a couple of those could get into cumberland, hagerstown the next hour, hour and a half and that's about it for storms tonight we think. rainfall rates with this one over an inch per hour headed toward oldtown. so heavy rain down 395 and parts of the beltway moving off south and east and, in fact, it should go into oldton in the next three, four, five minutes and eventually over toward clinton at about 5:46 and i think that storm will actually hold together. i'll widen even farther out. we have some big storms in southern maryland crossing the northern neck into reedville and the ocean resorts. ocean city had a big storm, as did rehoboth, a lot of lightning with these storms, the heaviest activity well south and east of the metro area. so we'll keep it there. showers and storms will end early tonight and then the nats game should be okay. we're pretty confident about the nats game and low humidity for the rest of the week. so this cold front will actually do something for us. now 9:30 tonight on futurecast still 82 downtown, okay, but some 70s in the burbs and generally fine. want to walk the dog tonight, no showers, nothing happening. by 5:30, 6:00, we got mid-60s. this is actually a very nice start to the day. even 73 downtown is pretty nice, but 77 in manassas, 66 our 64 in gaithersburg or bowie. that's a really nice start and by 9:00 only in the 70s and by lunchtime you can walk to lunch, no worries, you won't even perspire, low to mid-80s across the metro area. dry air masses heat up quickly and dry off quickly. we'll have very warm days because the humidity is less. what does that mean? when you perspire, that can evaporate and that's what cools you. nothing is vietnam rating outside right now -- is evaporating right now outside, tell you that. on the day planner 71 at 7:00, 76 at 9:00, 80 by 11:00 and 84 with sunshine by 1 p.m. very nice again on thursday, 88 and still nice on friday, 90 but not humid. it will be very comfortable. low 90s on saturday. then the humid till starts creeping back in here on sunday, 93, mid-90s monday and tuesday, a couple of afternoon storms. i tell you. what nats game should be okay tonight and the

dry roads. let's start with a live look outside, our live michael and son weather cam, it's pretty much clear here in northwest. it's 91, still not very comfortable in terms of humidity. that will change, dew points in the 70s, relative humidity 53%. we're going to get these dew points. remember low 70s tonight because tomorrow night they'll probably be in the upper 50s which is just

just some moderate rain. the yellow here indicates moderate rain, probably about 1/2 inch per hour. we'll zoom back in. this will move south and east going towards thrift shortly around 6:00 and this is pretty heavy around camp springs. that's going to move off south and east, too south of melwood with rainfall rates about 1 inch per hour. heaviest storms are still south and east of us. that's not going to change. everything is going to end early tonight. nats game should be okay and low humidity the rest of the week. so once we get this change of air masses tonight it's going to last wednesday, thursday, friday, even into saturday really. 9:30 tonight 82 downtown, notice it's clear, temps in the 70s and then in the morning we have 60s to start with low 70s downtown under clear skies. so on the day planner 71 at 7:00 and look, it only gets to 80 by 11:00 and 84 by 1:00. dry air masses heat up quickly, but they cool off quickly. we'll have warm days, but they're going to be comfortable. very nice thursday upper 80s, very nice on friday 90. next seven days. saturday a bit hot 92 and low 90s on sunday, more humid, mid- 90s on monday, isolatedstorm possible monday and
