6:11 am
annapolis and through the eastern shore. notice how the winds turn by 1:00 instead of the southwest out of the west that will take away our rain chance, increase the sunshine. temperatures still into the upper 80s. larry, over to you. looks like we're seeing a 10-mile backup on 95 on the virginia side because again the express lanes are closed so we have a lot more drivers traveling up the normal stretch of 95 than what we would normally see. so this delay is extended all the way to garrisonville and beyond. so we're asking drivers to account for that. a live look right now shows you how things are shaping up on 95. you can see the northbound side which would be on the left hand side of your screen, traffic is literally crawling this morning. along 50 looks like a lot better if you're going to be traveling inbound toward the beltway. we'll have much more coming up after the seven-day forecast. we'll send it over you to. >> thanks, larry. prosecutors bring a murder charge against the police officer in south carolina. >> in just a few minutes, we're going to share some of the stories you shared with us about surviving and living with

6:15 am
that was good, with the storms yesterday. >> they could have packed more of a punch if they came earlier. i was glad they came a little bit later because they still caused some damage with damaging winds and trees down. here's the good news. we see things quiet down. we still have light showers out there but no severe weather. as we head through the rest of the afternoon, the humidity will drop and more sunshine. that's something to look forward to let's take a look how we're starting off. this is the 24-hour temperature change. so right along 95 and really off to the east, we are much warmer than we were yesterday because the humidity is still high. that's going to keep your overnight lows very warm. but if lieu back off to the west -- if you look back off to the west, you see a difference. things are cooler. the front is still coming on through. we're not going to see a drastic drop in temperatures but upper 80s are the coolest we're going to be in the next seven. here you go with a few last lingering showers. the threat for the light showers will continue till
6:16 am
about lunch time, especially east of 95. then we'll be much drier for this afternoon. so from alexandria down through quantico, headed over to 301 just south of bowie to upper marlboro over to annapolis and down through dunkirk, light showers will continue. also through martinsburg and hagerstown. a couple more light showers will push on through till about lunch time. then we're done. as you look back off to the west, we'll get high pressure for tomorrow and it's going to be just the start of our temperatures rising. it's going to be quite uncomfortable. they're seeing a heat wave in the midwest and we'll see one too thursday, friday into saturday. temperatures will be very hot. close to record highs. i'm not sure we're going to break any record highs because i think the closest record high we have is on friday which is 95. we'll be watching that one closely. i think on thursday the record high is pretty high. 88 degrees for today and tomorrow. increasing sunshine. tomorrow looks great. warm, dry, humidity is relatively lower than it's
6:17 am
going to be. by thursday 94 degrees. it's hot. now we're going to have the chance for a shower or thunderstorm each afternoon. the best temperature relief we get is sunday into monday but that's still 90 degrees. so quite uncomfortable. larry miller, good morning. good morning, allyson. we still have the issues on the yellow line this morning. again delays in both directions because of an earlier issue outside of the king street metro station. the buses are running on schedule this morning. want to take you back to 95 on the virginia side again where we have a ten-mile backup because of the express lanes being closed. so we have a lot more traffic traveling up 95 on the virginia side than what we normally -- we normally would see. also on the virginia side here on i-66, we have a disabled vehicle blocking the right lane between nutley street and the beltway. from our camera we're able to see the delays building up. looks like traffic is starting to move so good news there. around the beltway things looking a lot better but again, you just want to be mindful of the delays mainly on the
6:18 am
virginia side. we'll have another update now shortly. in the news right now at 6:17, a number of groups in mckinney, texas, are planning another protest in response to a controversial video that's now gone viral. >> some people say the video shows an officer using excessive force while detaining a 15-year-old girl over the weekend. as don champion reports, hundreds of people protested the officer's actions last night. >> reporter: video of the incident during a pool party has been seen more than eight million times online. monday evening it had hundreds of people protesting at a mckinney, texas pool where officer casebolt was seen aggressively detaining a 15- year-old. neighbors called police after a fight and to complain about teens who did not have permission to be at the pool. the pool was reserved for a party by a woman who lived in the neighborhood. the homeowners association limits guests to only two per person but about 130 showed up. at one point casebolt in the
