>> it's just so dreary outside. >> it is dreary outside. it's been one of those gloomy not mondays but kind of mondays. we do have a yellow weather alert. because the storm prediction center has put out the slight risk of severe weather, as we go into the afternoon and evening time frames, i'll tell you the reason why that this could end up not coming to fruition in the metro area is because of the cloud cover that's around right now. i definitely think there is the risk of thunderstorms, especially frederick, hagerstown, martinsburg, winchester, you're going to break out into sunshine a little earlier today. that's where we're going to see a slightly elevated chance of stronger storms this afternoon. we're looking downtown right now. man, we had a lot of fog. now we're seeing just some low stratus clouds. it's still overcast, still gloomy. the humidity's at 93% with these east winds, but later this afternoon, hopefully if this plays

east winds shifting a bit, and we'll break out into a few thunderstorms. so here's the yellow weather alert. thunderstorms will be around. there is a small chance of some damaging wind gusts or hail being the main severe weather threat. i want to talk about the timing of this. you see how we have the clouds thick in places in the metro area, but it's northwest of town. look at this, we're already starting to see the clearing skies. you're not seeing this gray, white colors showing up. those will be the areas we're watching to slide a little further east and start to spark off thunderstorms in the metro area. i'll go through futurecast hour- by-hour. we'll talk about severe weather potential in the metro. look ahead to your weekend. you can always get that forecast on our wusa9 app. thank you melissa. we are following breaking news from prince george's county where police captured a suspect wanted for a break-in and arson. it started in clinton. evan koslof was there when police handcuffed the suspect. he joins us

all went down. evan. >> reporter: hey there, chaotic morning to say the least. it all got started just before 8 this morning. it happened right here on siratz road. the 7700 block. we're going to jump to a picture of the suspect. this was sent to us from the police george's police department. they say his name is wayne gardner, 33 years old from here in clinton. when they arrived to the home, they found it on fire. they saw gardner fleeing the house with a shotgun he stole from the house. he ran into nearby woods causing police to create a perimeter. as for the fire it was big enough to go through the roof. fortunately it was put out relatively quickly. the positive news is that there were no injuries, partially because that homeowner was not home. obviously this was all a pretty big inconvenience for the neighbors that live in the area. they were asked to shelter in place for about an hour before he was caught. also traffic has been jammed up here

now. about 45 minutes police gave us an update on the incident. take a listen to that. >> one officer identified him with a weapon as he goes into the wood line, that's why all the perimeter, all the esp callout, that's why the dogs it was done professionally. it was done in measured fashion to ensure the safety of everyone. i want to thank the community for taking seriously our shelter in place request because at any given moment we didn't know where he was going or what else he might have with him. >> right, and so that's definitely why it was a little bit of a chaotic situation. gardner is arrested. we're told by police this is not his first arrest. in their words they said he had an extensive arrest record including similar charges: at the very latest here in clinton, evan koslof wusa9. a stiff sentence this morning for a teenage mom who lured a young man into the woods promising sex and then egged on the ms-13 gang bangers

lower for sanctuary areas. the exception being medium metropolitan and counties on the fringes of large metropolitan areas, which had slightly higher crime rates if they were sanctuary areas. >> this is a yellow alert day. now here's wusa9's first alert weather. it's not a yellow weather alert for the gloomy skies that we've had out all morning, but it's actually going to be for some thunderstorms, and tracking the potential for as we head through the afternoon hours. we're looking downtown. still looking kind of gloomy out there, mist, drizzle, 64 degrees. right now winds are still out of the east here in d. c. keeping that humidity level up and the clouds in place, but the reason i've issued a yellow weather alert is because i think we're going to have some thunderstorms, especially later this afternoon northwest of town. some of these could become strong or severe. the storm prediction center putting out a slight risk for severe weather for a lot of our area monitoring a possible watch north and west of wn

would be one of the major impacts. there could be a few storms around for the evening commute today, but we're not really seeing as high of a threat of street flooding. i think this is moving through fairly quickly in terms of the timing, so it won't be raining that long at your house. here is that area of slight risk of severe weather. i want to just point out from frederick down to say purcellville, back to martinsburg, and northwest of that, those are the areas that have a better chance of getting stronger storms. still a little questionable. we are trapped into the cloud cover, trapped into this wedge of cool air. if we don't break out of it, our severe weather threat is much lower in those spots. you can see here i put on the clouds in black and why is so you can see where we're breaking out in the sunshine now, moving into clark county and barely getting it to the border. up to the north and west through hampshire, hardy counties, we've got a couple of

we'll watch for more storms moving in this afternoon. let's go through futurecast hour-by-hour. talk about the timing of all of this. it's not going to be an all day thing, it's not going to be widespread. here's the futurecast at 5:00. here are the best areas of getting those showers and storms that could pose the threat of brief heavy rainfall, damaging wind gusts or some hail as well. these storms are almost going to be in clusters of lines and they'll keep pushing through late afternoon through the early evening hours. you see how we don't see that much happening south of i-95 versus north, so i think the best chance of getting some of these stronger storms again is going to be north of d. c. we'll keep that risk in and keep monitoring it. here's 10:00, showers and storms fading away. we'll go into tomorrow. we'll repeat the pattern with a few more showers and storms in the afternoon. then guess what happens after that, we get a nice little break from the rain. day planner today, showers and storms in d. c. around 7:00. rain chances going down. r
