. 50. that is where we have the primary threat with this. >> go up to frederick. the weather service just issued a tornado warning for central frederick county. that is until 6:00. it looks like the right just to the west of frederick is that -- is where that will be. >> we did have some spend there. let's check out the velocity. just west of the city of frederick. the use the reds and greens come together right along to 70 pushing off to the northeast. >> that is moving northeast at 25. until 6:00, if you are in frederick, all those communities, you can see how bad these guys are. take cover right now in the basement or interior room away from windows until the danger passes. a sudden increase of wins outside of your home is your key to get away from windows and seek shelter in the interior section of your house. adam is circling the area up toward baltimore national pipe extending west. those are the areas right now where the circulation center is. the next sweep that comes in, the next day that center of circulation will move north of rte. 40 and become on the west side in the nor

hour. a thunderstorm warning for northeast frederick county, northeastern washington county. temperature-wise, it'll be a hot one. high temperatures will be near 100. mostly the upper 90's. it will feel like 105 to 110. things for the weekend -- storms are possible. >> it is complicated on 395. fortunately, it is going against the rush hour. we'll take your live to a scene of a dump truck that clipped and over had signed a set that on 395 here at edsall road. traffic is single file southbound. this will be a major distraction for hiv commuters. also mainline -- hov commuters. we will have more on this and traffic elsewhere. coming up in less than 10 minutes. now, the news. >> thanks so much. the heat is one of our big story today. it is prompting metro to make an exception to its rolls. riders will be allowed to consume water. >> customers are encouraged to use containers that can be sealed and to use trash receptacles to compose of any waste -- dispose of any waste. excessive heat is forcing the dmv inspection station to run on special hours. it will be open today from 5:00

of those counties out there. also warren, frederick county, and clark county in virginia as well as washington county and frederick, you have a severe thunderstorm warning. those are going to go until 5:30. let's get in more specifically. i want to show you the immediate areas that are under the gun right now. so they are showing you who has the severe thunderstorm warnings. it's not every part of those regions. we had a few down to the south. they just dropped all of the warnings that were in effect down around the northern neck. there is plenty of lightning with these. that's the main thing people need to be aware of. the only report in addition to the lighting is the fact there are tree limbs. some o r producing hail, like this one you see not too far from colonial beach. that is going to be crossing the river and heading on up to your north and watch these up in washington county, too, they are moving slowly to the southeast, dropping heavy rain. you know they have the lightning as well. hail will be the big story, heavy rain as they move on through. as you can see, it's not for

brewing company. the renamed company was the largest lager, brewery. next a visit to captain frederick pabst's mansion. >> i am senior historian for the pabst mansion in milwaukee. in the captain frederick pabst mansion built in milwaukee between 1890 and 1892. and i always look to start a tour of the house with a little context of why it is here. if you are visiting the city you will see the house is sifting, 20th and wisconsin avenue which is kind of in the middle of a very heavily commercial district. it doesn't make any sense why the pabst mansion should be here today. when the pabst family chose this site, the late 1880s, this was in the middle of milwaukee's most prestigious residential district. 50, 60 mansions were lining the avenue from just outside of downtown out to the countryside at 35th. so, when they built this house, there was already a home standing on the site. so they tore that down. in june of 1890. and began construction of this house. now, the original cost estimate was $75,000. which was a tremendous amount of money considering that people were only earning $400

. is this warning that just popped up in frederick county. still have some strong storms to our west, and it wanted a warning issued in frederick county until 6:00. some of thunderstorms around baltimore, with a tornado perhaps approaching from the south, and out in frederick county, and he is also a possible rotating thunderstorm with a tornado warning in effect there. this is what the rain looks like associated with some of these storms. starting to get a little more disorganized, but still showing signs of rotation according to the stand in the area here for us in the media baltimore metro area, the immediate -- the most dangerous storm is the one toward bowie. one more little scared of it, just to show you where the warning is in effect and the storm system it is impacting. the storms have been mowing -- moving from south west and northeast. it does not take long for the system to move in. it also is it through pretty quickly, and that is why we say take shelter and wait for the storm to pass by. i will not be too long and you'll be in the clear. right now, powerful thunderstorm

up over the haguers town area, tracking eastward. as we bring the storm through northern, frederick county, short order, looking at the storm entering tawny and walkersville and kale county and another storm moving south of east through shrewsberry and northern harford county. multiple storms on the board. we will continue to track these, approaching from the west through the rest of the evening and tracking it all evening. track it if you have to head out the door, you can text wmar to 46988 and track maryland's most powerful radar in real time. >>> possibility of weather is putting people on edge, it was three weeks ago, that an outbreak of tornados cut paths through maryland, none more damaging than along route 1 in bel air. brian kuebler went back to the area. >> travel down route 1 near bel air, it's evident people are still in the middle of building back, hoping after tonight they don't have to do it again. along route 1, the blue tarp scabs to a fresh wound, seemingly every other building has part of the roofs covered as contractors work to fix the businesses. >> today, they

indicated around our viewing area at this time. that is good. the warning in frederick county has been allowed to expire. now the focus shifts back to the flash flooding. we have some thunderstorms that are severe indicated by the orange outlying counties. that will track to the northeast through the potomac into charles county. you have not seen the last of a yet. this is the next sellable watch moving into southern maryland. >> look at this rainfall. mount airy has 3.1 inches of rain so far. that is where we have flood warnings. sue land has picked up 1.5 inches. this is through 11:00 tonight. they are stretched out well into north carolina. >> it is not often that the storm prediction center issues a moderate risk in washington. today we have the set up that indicated the severity of the situation and what to expect for this. heavy showers starting to organize in the shenandoah valley. we still have an ongoing severe thunderstorm warning around cumberland. even frederick county virginia included in that, but most of it is dry at this time. >> explain the colors to people. >> the pur

metro areas seeing these storms and around frederick county and leesburg but two areas right now. the first one right now making its way to the north and east. most of this tornado warning is no longer in effect. and then up towards the north of this. we are still seeing this. this is until 5:15. will we see this extended in the next couple of hours? will we see this extended? we'll continue to watch out for that. down to the south and west, we're looking at this one right here. prince william county and fairfax county right along i-95. brand-new tornado warning until 5:45 for this storm right here. we're looking at manassas down to the south and east. that's where this storm is and we'll continue to watch that and look at this one here, around quantico and along i-95. this was an area hit earlier by this storm. another storm coming over the same area and then back down to the south and east around k culpeper. it does include spotsylvania and includes parts of fau xwrx uier county and culpeper county. still very heavy rain over areas that have already seen that rain. we've seen flash

shear marker here, south of 40, south of middletown, up 270 past frederick. this could have a small gustnado with it. we're not talking about massive storms. they're very small. they might be 75 yards wide, that's it, and they may skip up, skip down. so again, we're not talking about a wide swath of destruction, but you've got to take this seriously if you are around some of these areas. mount zion road, jefferson pike, and that is south of middle town and north of frederick. we're seeing again some possible wind sheer. this is away from the radar site, 23 miles per hour, toward the radar site at 23 miles per hour. so that indicates some rotation with the thunderstorm, and if the thunderstorm rotates, then it can drop down a small tornado. so at the very least big winds there. again, south of 40, southeast of middletown, okay. just to the southwest of frederick. this actually could affect frederick in the next 20 minutes so be advised about that. anny, have they extended the tornado warnings in prince george's county or is that my imagination? >> prince george's county tornado warpi

has fallen and we'll do this on the fly here and this is with today's storm and to frederick county and carol county. along with the storm that probably produced a funnel in damascus and we're finding 2.4 inches of rain falling in the areas and have in prince georges county, just look what happened already today, almost two inches and the concern is over loudoun and 1.7 and into prince william county. getting heavy rain in faulkier, too and this is going to be compound the problem and can produce tornado. straight line wind damage that can bring down your trees and cause structural damage and we saw so many people driving through the flooded road with the rain falling and the first round of storm and there is more coming. the flash flooding is going to become a great threat as we go through the night as well and the fourth threat is the lightening that gary showed us. plenty to keep track of, gary. >> we have the active tornado watch in effect for everybody and that is running throughout the evening and this is not going cool down the next hour or so and we may so this extend into t

across the area. downtown frederick county, maryland a lot of road closures there and numerous trees down in loudoun county, montgomery county and fairfax county. if you live in st. mariy's county expect your power to go out. 100,000 people are now without power. i expect that to climb and maybe double through the rest of the night tonight. that is a huge scenario playing out here. not only do we have the strong storms but behind them we still have the heat. these storms are not going to bust the heat in the region. is it going to be back during the day tomorrow. even though we see the storms move out and rain move through, slightly cooler air move through we see the temperatures move back up to 100 degrees once again during the day tomorrow. as we mentioned some of the areas affected branny wine, waldorf, la plata, expect the storms in the next 20 minutes. up 301 here is the line again. you can see it in buoy making its way across crofton in anne arundel council. but this is just one big line that continues to move across the region. up to howard county and all along i-95 we w

. frederick has been cleerksd prince george's has been cleared and howard has been cleared. now we're just looking at -- i take that back. howard and an arrangements they extended it now until 6:30. two lines of stores. one to the west. we'll talk about that. then we'll talk about the cold front. anne arundel county, howard county until 6:30, tornado warning. everybody else is in the clear in terms of the warning. the watch covers everybody. there's your warning. here are your severe thunderstorm warnings up near cumberland. that's not a good sign because those are the storms that are now being produced by the cold front which is going to march through here in the next couple hours. let's go to live doppler 9000. we'll kind of pinpoint some of the activity. this is the heavy shower and thunderstorm activity just on the west side of 95 from fredericksburg north. we're still getting hammered in fairfax and now in parts of montgomery county in terms of rainfall. so flash flooding is going to be another concern. we've already had our problems and dealing with it earlier in damascus but heavy r

hour or so. >> this is just to the north and west of frederick, then also around winchester, win chesters including fred ricks, chenin dougha and warning, all under a warning. this storm did have a storm warning with it. that storm is making its way into the open waters, eventually over towards the eastern shore. that one not severe right now, but shouldn't be surprised to see it continue to strengthen. heat has also been a factor today. we got up to 96 today. everybody is going to cool off, but we're not quite done with those storms question. that watch in effect until 8:00. >>> breaking news where several children were injured when an suv ran through their front yard here. it happens along 57th place in riverdale. this picture from chopper 4. authorities tell us the suv cut across the front yard of this house where the kids were playing. all were taken to a hospital, two of them with minor injuries. no word yet on the other four. the vehicle came to a rest against the second home. no details on why the driver left the road. three years ago nine people were kid. we're in northea

enormous resources. it's a huge state. and frederick douglass, you know, refers, says that the border states are a millstone around lincoln's neck. in his view -- douglass responds to the worry about the border states in essence by saying, well lincoln has already shown that his administration is very efficient, that suspending habeas corpus, it's alensing and imprisoning northern copperhead democrats. and just do that more vigorously, more aggressively. william stewart at one point during the war said he could have any northerner imprisoned in 24 hours. douglass said, go for it. then the border states aren't a problem. you know, if border state politicians start threatening -- just throw them in prison. it's after all, civil war. prevent social revolution. lincoln was especially compared to abolitionists and many other republicans, even, he is not a revolutionary. he wants to -- he wants to preserve the union without a social revolution. he knows ending slavery is a social revolution. it's why he comes late to turning the war, the union also into war to end end slavery. throughout re

113. earlier we saw frederick at 116. we have the code red alert, the excessive heat warning. that will be up until 19. just be prepared. maryland's most powerful radar is clear. that's the good news. i want to go out near columbus, ohio, 80-mile-an-hour wind gusts. we are keeping close tabs on it. right now it's moving 65 miles an hour. if this holds together we may have to address severe weather entering the picture. that would be more so around 8:00, 9:00 if the complex holds together. we are under the risk of severe weather. we'll talk about the forecast coming up. >> as the heat built throughout the day people found creative ways to try to stay cool. jeff hager joins us with some of their ideas. >> when it comes to combating the heat, the people of baltimore are battle tested. many relied on traditional favorites to find relief. with the sun beating down on baltimore, this young boy was smiling right back and why not. no one serves up a snowball like three do here in clarm city -- charm city. some sought relief in the shade with umbrellas, hats or and a tree. some places offer

baltimore. throughout frederick county and upper montgomery county. panhandle of west virginia light rain. loudoun county stretching into fauquier county. more showers will develop off and on through the day and even a few thunderstorms in the midday and afternoon. occasional rain. good day to stay indoors for activities on this tuesday. 70 degrees right now and the district, 68 at dulles airport and in winchester. on our way 80 degrees. you will notice the humidity outside. tomorrow that will change. low humidity, breezy, refreshen and back to a good amount of sunshine on wednesday. temperatures will remain around 80 degrees into the weekend. >> thanks so much. the intersection and at easing traffic problems near the new maryland live! casino is open. highway officials are using a diverging diamond at the intersection of maryland 295 and arundel mills boulevard. its forces vehicles to drive on the left side of the road to merge on and off of 295. this will allow for fewer stops and create a smoother ride. >> there's a new phase will give away for you. >> you have a chance to win a n

showers especially in maryland from frederick down to gaithersburg, light showers stretching across the potomac along 50. in loudoun county, rain moving through leesburg and crossing over seven. stretching from montgomery county and through laurel, college park, bowie, stretching into anne arundel county and over the bay, areas of light rain pushing northward. we will see occasional showers throughout the day. it does not look like we will have over an inch in some spots. close to a half-inch of rain by the time it's over later tonight. 67 in fairfax and rock hill and montgomery village. popular number. on this tuesday number waldorf suitland adelphi, 67. you will feel the humidity throughout the day with occasional showers. 80 degrees for the high temperature, wind at 5-13. lower humidity tomorrow sunshine less humid, but a little breezy on wednesday. to lisa. >> there was a crash on 95 northbound. on your way through columbia, towards baltimore, minor collision near 175 at. that activity has been moved to the shoulders. on the george washington parkway, police reporting that is closed

. so martinsburg, charles town, get ready. frederick an leesburg, get ready. in the next hour and a half to two hours, as the storms move east, you can do some things, have a plan, go to the basement, get away there windows, put your umbrella down. probably taking out of the table and lie it down on the ground. steven city, get ready. winchester, you are getting hit. purserville, will you lovettsville. the storm itself is moving north east at 36, and it is headed toward meadow mills at 6:50, middle town at 6:52, reliant at 6:52, and bunker hill at 6:56. so you have to take these storms seriously. the most wind sheer was up around pumpkin center but you all are under a warning west of us which includes winchester, stephens city, middle town. jim is out unmiddle town. send aus picture jim if you have something going on but don't put yoursifnl harm's way. leesburg get ready, chantilly get ready. this storm has shrunk a little bit but pretty heavy rain out if you hampshire avenue, out toward wheaton, georgia avenue. that's heavy rain. that's red. back into town, that's east- west highwa

. out toward the west we're watching more storms, frederick and a tornado warning again. that's set to expire around 6:00. this is the latest radar, maryland's most powerful radar showing an intense band of rain. we have been watching rainfall rates between two to four inches of rain. we've been seeing the flooding concern moving so slowly. the storm of the most severity is to the south of glen burnie. you can see where it is a tornado warning. we'll put a storm track on this. this is the storm that's capable of producing a tornado but also capable of producing a dangerous cloud to ground lightning and some large hail. we'll switch over to the live sweeping radar. i want to zoom back down into that storm that is set to move toward the north and east at 20 miles an hour. it's going to bring it into parts of the harbor at 6:23 and bethesda at 6:23. if you live in a town or region that's close, you need to seek shelter, get into a basement if you do have it, better safe than sorry. as this storm will roll toward the north and east we are expecting dangerous lightning. let's go toward the

on through, especially in frederick county where rising waters, they caught some off guard in the rushing water itself. our armando trull is live in frederick with the details of a dramatic rescue. armando? >> reporter: considering just how fierce this flooding was, they were very lucky that there were no serious injuries reported, but plenty of close calls. rescue crews, of frederick county, they have been busy tonight. the run-off water from several hours of heavy rain from the second round of storms flooded this low-lying bridge, leaving this young driver standing on the roof of its car. >> well, i was just driving and i definitely did not see the water or anything. and i just kind of got stuck. >> they called it home, yeah. it you know when he gets in trouble, we get the phone call. >> reporter: and what did he say? >> he said i'm stuck in water and i'm scared to death and he was panicked. and he said that he needed us to come get him out. he thought the water was rising. we told him to get out and get on the roof. >> reporter: the first round of storms flooded some parts of d

out. we are looking at frederick live right now. skies will be partly sunny. tickets start when the showers come. this will be the last day, the fourth consecutive day of this pattern. tomorrow a different pattern moves and. 83 on the ford board. one degree above the average of 82. lots of 70's, especially air is cooled by the showers. 75 in manassas. still holding onto 79 at reagan national. temperatures will settle between 55 and 63 degrees. warmer temperatures developed in the middle of the country. low pressure finally gets out of the northeast. we will have a lot of sunshine and beautiful weather for a few days. it will all start to warm up as high pressure moves then. we're talking sunshine, upper 80's, and close to 90 degrees. 89 degrees for the high temperature tomorrow. upper 80's with a fair amount of heat and humidity on monday and tuesday. the next chance of rain as wednesday next week. at the beaches lots of sunshine. 70 degrees. bring me back some caramel covered popcorn, please? >> the toyota sports desk, brought to you by your local toyota dealers. moving you forward

montgomery county, howard county. light rain falling in frederick county maryland. and most of this is blueridge east. much of loudoun county wet. a few light showers here and drifting off to the north and east. so even though it may be dry where you are, you will need an umbrella. likely getting wet here soon. near 70 degrees through most of the region. reagan national at 70. day planner, into the mid 70s by mid morning. a passing shower, generally a 50% chance by noontime, and the likelihood of showers, thunder and lightning too. highs reaching the low 80s. how much longer will this continue? we'll have a look at traffic. good morning. >>> good morning. watching the roadways, another accident. inner loop of the beltway, approaching the interchange, a crash blocking the right lane. be aware of that. and seeing wet pavement, give yourself extra time today. i-95, looking good, heading out of woodbridge, making your way toward the beltway. no issues to report. a live look at lorton. very light volume, but increasing northbound, no major delays just yet, and you are accident free in th

william county, frederick county, other parts of the country where state and local authority are cooperating with the immigration service. what the court said here is we're watching you, arizona. it says if you go over the line and do things that you're looking at color and race and start asking for id based on that, you'll be zapped. >> brad, let me turn to you because the court did say the federal government does have the big responsibility for this. was that a big loss for your side? >> no. in fact, i would agree it was a victory today for arizona and citizens of the united states. we are now in a situation where arizona and the citizens can do 287g statewide. there were only seven counties in arizona beforehand that had this program and by the way, the administration canceled the 287g today with arizona. i don't know what that was all about, but clearly this is good for other states. the 287g program is combined with secure communities which allow everyone to be screened in jail. so you have outside and inside screening. it's clearly going to continue -- >> but you're not con

owning southerners. in fact, frederick douglass, here's what he says. little better than our worst fears. a little bit of his response. he refers to lincoln as double-tongued. because he's elected on a platform to confine slavery where it is. where the public mind shall rest in the belief of its ultimate extinction, and in his essay, frederick douglass is quoting lincoln. yet he is endorsing the constitutional amendment that guarantees slavery in the slave states forever. for douglass and other abolitionists, it's courting the favor of rebels. douglas swrn s certainly agrees that confederates are rebels. that's a term that was used. in fact, lincoln never dignifies the confederates by even referring to them as such. he always calls them rebels. the closest he'll come is saying throughout the war's so-called confederacy, so-called confederates. to use the term confederates or confederacy legitimates the secession of the government. douglas swrns says, you're courting the favor of the rebels. as close as duglass comes to abandoning his faith in national ideals, articulated in the declarati

leesburg and 106 in frederick. we'll come back. we'll talk about possibly breaking records tomorrow with a little more heat and we'll talk about when the heat breaks, a look ahead to the weekend. >>> we've had such a mile june and many people just were not prepared for this record heat. so we sent out kristin fisher out to the national mall to see how washingtonians were faring on the first official day of summer. it is a scorcher. >> reporter: to say the least. this is so far the hottest day of the year and the longest day of the year. it's the summer solstice. there was actually supposed to be a summer solstice volleyball game being played out here tonight, but it was canceled due to the high heat. now for the volleyball players they're not too happy about it, but paramedics say they made the right call. the summer heat can make people do crazy things. for prince george's county paramedic arbery butler, he's dealt with countless heat- related calls on his 18 years in the job knowing all too well heat is the no. 1 weather-related killer in the united states. today he's trying to encourage

, frederick county in maryland as well as the district down 95 from fairfax toward stafford. just crossing the potomac and charles county. there's more moderate showers here, pennsylvania and western maryland and west virginia that is now moving into the shenandoah valley. few sprinkles from wind chester. right now right around the metro area, low and mid 60s. all of this area light green. stretching into the areas. around the bay, eastern shore. only around 50 degrees. at the beach, only 51 at ocean city. it's going to be clouding up there, too. for most of the rhea region. day planner for most of the day. yes, you will need an umbrella and with pavement getting wet from time to time this morning, pack your patience and leave aefrlly, too. this is, of course, fender bender kind of weather with some pavement getting wet around the region. now near 70 noontime. smaller chance of a passing shower or thunder shower this afternoon with a lot of cloudiness around. highs reaching the mid 70s. mid afternoon. another hometown forecast coming up. good morning. >> maryland, there we have a crash rig

some light rain falling from frederick back down now into most of montgomery county, loudoun county just light rain and fairfax county light, mostly light rain. there's still some heavy rain down around alexandria and moving out. you notice all the very heavy reds here. that's where the heavy wind is and heavy rain is and at times we're getting some indications of some hail as well. i want to go upstairs to shawn and maureen and right now the storms continue to move 50, 60 miles per hour off to the east. the good news, shawn, not seeing rotation. we talk a lot about rotation with tornadoes. haven't seen any indicator of that that we need to be worried about tornadoes, but some of these individual cells are packing some winds 50, 60, 70 miles per hour and that's why we're having the power outages. >> we're seeing reports all over twitter. thank you for staying here with us to the news edge at 11:00 tonight. quickly we want to give you the number of power outages we are seeing coming in tonight. >> pepco is reporting right now 286,000 customers are without power. dominion virginia is
