was supposed to be the iphone 5. >> instead, apple unveiled the iphone 4 s yesterday. let's head to the smart phone zone. lauren demarco has the details. >> reporter: after months of speculation and all of that hype, the immediate headline came as a bit of a disappointment, no five own 5. apple's stock took at this tumble in affect trading and ended down slightly. it has much of what everybody was hoping for. on appearance, not much is new. this is the iphone 4. we were hoping with the iphone 5, you would see the screen screen extend the entire length of the phone. the 4 s will look pretty much like this. the other big letdown, no 4 g. the 4 g phones on the market had a pretty short battery life. maybe apple is waiting for the

technology to improve because it is not too much use if your battery dies by lunchtime. steve jobs was absent yesterday. interim ceo tim cook made the big announcement calling the 4 s the most amazing phone ever. it has twice the processing power and ios. apple says it will run faster. it will have a eight megapixel family. it is a world phone which means it can be used oversees and the icloud. can you store music, films, tv shows and photos on apple's servers rather than at phone's hard drive. can you wirelessly push that content to other apple devices. then there is siri, a voice controlled feature. users can hit the home button and ask the phone questions. >> do i need a rain coat today? >> it sure looks like rain

today. >> what time it is in paris? >> the time in paris, france is 8:16 p.m. >> siri appears to be pretty incredible. it also writes and send e-mail messages and texts and reads them to you too. it is due in store october 14th. it starts with $200 for the 16 high pressure gig model with the two-year contract and along with at&t and verizon, sprint subscribers will now be able to use the iphone five for the first time. >> now, rumors that the true iphone 5 will be out in the spring. >> i'm waiting for eight. >> that seemed like a pretty cool phone. not pleased i must say that you can ask it the weather and it will tell yew that doesn't mean

it is accurate. >> i bet it is more accurate. >> when we get the weather guises app on the phone, then it better be accurate. >> not going do that. >> too much work for you? >> yeah. >> let's take a look at what is going on out there. here, you get the full investigate is weather forecast. we tell you. we explain it to you. we show you maps. is your known going to do that? >> no. >> not until the iphone 8. current temperatures around the region, 55 degrees now in the nation's capital. 57-degree in beautiful annapolis. fredericksburg, 48 degrees there. dulles airport is at 56 degrees. in hagerstown, it is 50 degrees right now. here is what we want to take a look at. we want to take a look at what is going on as far as our weather conditions, high pressure is settling into the eastern united states. out to the west, low pressure, you see how the jet stream is dividing the nation in half so the western u.s. now gets into

this pattern of drizzly weather, periods of rain, unsettled weather and now the eastern u.s. is dry, warmer and mild and quiet conditions here for the next several days the way things are shaping up. so fa the forecast for washington for today -- so the forecast for washington for today looks like this, not bad. mostly sunny skies. we'll see mostly clear skies tonight. your overnight low in town 50 degrees. five-day forecast, think you're going to love it. what is not to like? sunshine for the next several days during the daytime hours and then temperature in the 70s for your highs every day for the next several days. near 80 on sunday. >> nice weekend. >> not bad at all. >> it is now time for ask the weather guys. yes, tucker barnes is back from his well-deserved two-day

vacation. a long one for tucker. >> you need to treat yourself to more vacations. you're missed when you're not here but you need to do that. >> are you my travel agent? >> no, i hate making travel plans for myself. >> maybe the iphone 4 s. >> that's enough. >> let's do some magic eight bull with technology. >> today's question comes from matt g. in alexandria who writes can you still get fined for speeding in a work zone even when work crews aren't present other we are phoning a friend for this one although i think we actually learned the answer a short time ago when julie wright confessed that she had received a ticket in a work zone when there were no workers present. but joining us on the phone this morning is laura rikowski.

she is the public information officer with the maryland office. >> we're talking work zone safety today. >> yes, we are. i know you want to talk about safety issues in maryland. i know you got a new initiative going on there. but the question is a simple one. can you till get fined for speeding in a work zone even when work crews aren't present? >> the simple answer is that is yes. of course, in maryland, we have two means of enforcement. we have traditional enforcement with law enforcement officials and then we have our safe zone program which is automated speed enforcement also known as those speed cameras. yes, you can be fined and cited in speeding in awork zone even when workers aren't present and for a very good reason. most folks think that the work zone fines are in place to protect workers and they are certainly. our workers work adjacent to the thunder of traffic and armored only with vests and plastic helmets so it is to protect them. but it is also to protect drivers. nationally in four out of five

crashes, it is the driver or passenger who is injured in a work zone related crash so it is also to protect the drivers out there. certainly work zones, they have less than ideal conditions. there is little margin for error with narrow lane, equipment, dust, relocationed signs, stopped traffic. so we want folks to be on their most alert driving and to be obeying the posted speed limit in work zones. the good news is is that you don't have to worry bay ticket at all if you are just driving the posted speed limit. >> yes, but who wants to -- i mean yes, you're right. in some places i know that at certain times, fines are doubled and i don't know if that is the case -- i know it is different in different jurisdictions. if for example a fine is doubled when there is work going on. when work is not going on, who that fine still be doubled? >> it would be because again, it is in work zone conditions. so whenever that work zone is

present, the construction equipment is out there, those standard signs would apply to work zones. it is not relying on whether workers are out there or not. >> there is a new movement afoot called drive 25 keep kids alive. can you tell us about that diswhoo i want to thank the tucker and phony forecast for the wonderful weather today because today it is international walk to school day and school children around the world will be walking to school focusing on the physical activity and also the community involvement that comes along with just walking to school which used to be a way of life for us 10, 20 years ago but now most trips are made by car. so again, this is focusing on walking to school and walking to school safely. we have our lieutenant governor andthonnery brown if maryland will be joining elementary school students at glenridge elementary along with the superintendent dr. hite in prince george's county and dr.
