welcome back. increasing urban green space could go a long way toward cleaning up america's crown

different direction? >> yes. in rock creek, d.c. water is taking a new approach to stopping overflows with what is called green infrastructure. that means using practices like rain gardens, green roofs. >> what's a rain garden? we're seeing pictures now. what kind of vegetation is that? >> that's a green roof. that's on the roof of my office building where i work. and it's planted with native vegetation that can be -- that soaks up rain where it falls preventing it from entering the sewer system in the first place. >> is it filtered as well? >> it completely captures it. it never leaves the site. if d.c. water does this the right way, if it uses enough green practices on the fastest schedule possible, this approach has a lot of benefits for people as opposed to the underground tunnels which only have a single purpose. but the green infrastructure practices that are above ground, they have a lot of benefits for the people in those neighborhoods. >> we're going to expect to see these along the potomac river? have they talked about where they would place these green

sites? >> the neighborhoods where they're focusing on to implement these practices are georgetown along the potomac and up near rock creek, neighborhoods including columbia heights, petworth, tacoma and a few others. we can expect to see a lot more vegetation, trees, literally greener neighborhoods that have greater higher property values. these practices reduce flooding, reduce air pollution, all benefits that come along with using more vegetation in an urban environment. >> we'll have to leave it there. such a pleasure to meet you, becky. we appreciate your time. weather time now. >> we're keeping the yellow alert up because we do have the threat for a few more showers. it's a borderline day yellow wise. if you notice the drizzle around, we've got that. the steadier showers and some are trying to get closer to us

like fredericksburg, closer toward i-64. it's inching up. we have a couple of light showers, if you will, across parts of prince william and fauquier county and even in northern fairfax we're picking up some of this light drizzle mist that's heavy enough that doppler is picking it up as it's coming across the potomac near the american legion ridge toward route 7 and sterling and even in montgomery county, prince george's, the district we've had that spotty drizzle. it's off to the south, the steadier rains, which are lifting more northwest than north. but richmond up i-64 seeing that. and in reedville, just got off the phone with jan. 3.9 inches of rain since the other night and she's going for 4 with the showers today. 61. that's it at reagan national. our normal high is 80. east, northeast winds at 11:00 and the humidity is up at 82%. you can see how cool it is. look at all the cold marine air locked in place. it's relative to june being cold obviously but mid-50s to low 60s.

that's it. notice elkin 69. on the other sides of the mountains, that's -- other side of the mountain that's where we find the warm air and it will slowly be returning the next few days. this afternoon 65, 66 maybe at reagan national. i think some of you are going to stay closer to the low 60s with the steady east, northeast wind 5 to 10 with a couple of showers and areas of drizzle. so we are kind of socked in with lots of clouds and a few showers. we'll see showers again tomorrow with a couple of peeks of sun. we might actually get closer to 70 degrees. we'll dry out some i believe starting friday so temperatures will start to warm up and it's going to get warm again by the weekend into early next week. 80s and there's a chance it will make a run back toward 90 by next week. bigger picture, a lot more sunshine as we get toward southwestern virginia so temperatures are warmer there. look at all the rain to the south. this is trying to come up north. we'll have waves of moisture trying to get close. timing of specific showers is tough but the threat for showers and drizzle certainly with us today, tonight and on

thursday. 66 today. tonight not much move in the temps. 50s to about 60. 70 on thursday. some of you are going to stay in the 60s with more showers. finally on friday a little sun, still a threat of a shower or two, warmer, highs closer to 80. over the weekend -- by the way we have the nats on 9 friday night and saturday. an isolated shower saturday. look at the temperatures, in the low to mid-80s both saturday and sunday. here comes the heat. monday and tuesday upper 80s to near 90 with a threat of a couple of afternoon thunderstorms. we've got more of wusa9 thus at noon the world is filled with air. but for people with copd sometimes breathing air can be difficult. if you have copd, ask your doctor about once-daily anoro ellipta. it helps people with copd breathe better for a full 24hours.
