temperatures over the past couple of days, this is a dramatic drop. current temperatures are also on the cooler side than they were yesterday but the big story is that the temperatures just aren't going to rise very much at all as we head into the afternoon. 59 right now in hagerstown and front royal. 61 in leesburg and 61 in gaithersburg as well. and that fog is starting to develop. we have two-mile visibility in front royal and luray. three-mile visibility in hagerstown so it's not too terribly thick or dense but be aware there are spots of fog out there. on satellite and radar, you request see the scattered to our west that are making their way toward us. we continue to see the showers push through officer the next couple of days. i'll track them for you with 9 futurecast in the first alert seven-day. time again for timesaver traffic and larry miller. your time right now 6:29. good morning to you. want to let my metro riders know everything is running on schedule. we did have earlier issues on

the redline between grovner medical center. we have an issue again from high flood water, flood waters taking place on pennsylvania avenue southeast. this is the exit ramp getting to the southbound side of the southeast-southwest freeway. again this is closed because of high water. we have a camera close by there to show you the closure. again, that is the closure to the ramp right there. police are on scene and have been on scene throughout the morning as a result of the water there but we're hearing again waters are starting to recede so conditions should return to normal soon. want to take you to our cap a. on 2 -- camera. for those of you traveling southbound on 270 heading toward the beltway, no major issues but we're starting to see some unusual volume build up mainly in the rockville area. it's a bit volume for the -- bit early for the volume we're starting to see. if this is a road you would normally take to get to work, i suggest you leave sooner rather

than late our because this delay is starting to trip of a few drivers this morning. let's show you some other issues we've had going on. it's kind of hard to see but on the outer loop of the beltway between the spur as well as old georgetown road, we had an accident blocking two lanes. i'm hearing that's clear. we have a disabled vehicle now but expect residual delays. good morning. we're here at 3rd and d where the ramp to 395 south is closed this morning following last night's storm. take a look just over my shoulder. you can see the barricades are up and they've been up since around 11:00 last night. that's due to some high water. if you use the # 95 south -- 395 south ramp at 3rd and d, you will want to find an alternate route. i want to show you some video from last night. the storm brought down trees throughout the area causing significant damage. wind brought down a tree on top after metro bus near k and

15th. form everyone inside was okay and evacuated out the back. another headache lightning left a silver spring homeowner cleaning up after it ripped a branch from a tree crushing a fence. electricity scorched insulation in that home but that fire didn't catch and nobody was hurt. most of that storm damage has now been cleaned up but again we're here at 3rd and d where the ramp to 395 south is closed this morning so if you do use that route, you want to plan ahead and make sure you -- allow yourself extra time or use an alternate route. reporting live, vanessa herring, wusa9. a vote could come today in the senate on the u.s.a. freedom act. >> this comes just two days after lawmakers failed to approve the measure. that meant the temporary expir -- temporary expiration of the agency to collect a vast amount of information. senator rand paul says he would support changes to the bill passed by the house.

conducted in 2013 found similar problems so now a plan of action. transportation safety administration ordered by homeland security to revise security procedures, retrain all tsa agents around the country, and there are 50,000 agents around the country at our nation's airports, retest all the equipment, and implement moran dom screening just -- more random screening just to keep everyone on their toes and make sure they're adequately trained. the acting director is being reassigned within another department in homeland security. we're live at reagan national airport, delia goncalves, wusa9. the deadly amtrak derailment in philadelphia will be the hot topic today at a hearing on capitol hill. federal safety regulators and amtrak officials are expected to face questions on why technology to slow trains that are going too fast wasn't in

george's county, we want to let you know no issues on 50 westbound as you make your way into town and in toward the beltway. i do expect some volume delays as you get closer to d.c. but again no accidents or any traffic issues that should slow you down other than the volume. bw parkway, you guys are good to go. 95 on the maryland side, you guys are fine as well. we are seeing some slowdowns mainly in college park on the outer loop of the beltway. again typical for the morning commute. i want to take you live right now to the beltway at darcey road both on the inner and outer loop we're starting to see volume build up. if you're dealing with anything, you're dealing with wet roads which we certainly see a few accidents pop up around the metro but not causing much in the way of delays this morning. we had seen a few fallen trees as well. the best advice we can give is for drivers to slow down and make sure they increase the distance between them and the driver in front of them as well. on the 14th street bridge no

issues. traffic fairly light for the most part as you bake your way -- as you make your way over the brink into town. looks like flooding issues mainly on the -- closer to the southeast-southwest freeway again at the pennsylvania exit. so we're asking drivers to be mindful of that. over to you. you can barely go to social media without seeing it. we'll have more on caitlyn jenner's big reveal coming up. >> plus, a woman talks about putting the final touches on her amazing
