critical drugs in sport supply putting patients at risk. today -- in short supply putting patients at risk. today the president made an executive order to reduce risk. reporter: the fda will double its staff that deals with drug shortages and while it won't completely fix the problem, patient safety advocates say it's a start. cancer drugs, surgery drugs and hundreds of other injectible medications, the list of drug shortages continues to grow. >> very much so. they're escalating even faster this year than we expected. reporter: the american society of health pharmacists said 300 drugs could be in short supply

in 2011. >> jay catara knows what it's like. in august the center where he was receiving chemotherapy ran out of drug being used to treat his cancer. reporter: tuesday president obama signed an executive order intended to address the problem. >> this is something that needs to be done. reporter: the order would put more resources towards investigating price gouging, speeding up regulatory review of drug manufacturers and getting more notice when a drugmaker might fall short or shut down a production line. reporting is a critical issue. with enough notice the fda has been able to prevent 99 shortages this year, but only a very small number of drugs overall have to be reported. a bill in congress now would make reporting mandatory for many more. >> we need them to be on board because we know people are dying and we know people are going to die. reporter: unless they can get the life saving drugs they need. the fda ad mints these steps won't be the end of drug -- admits these steps won't be the

end of the drug shortages, but they will keep it from becoming a full blown crisis. melanie alnwick, fox 5 news. >> it was a little chilly today but still good news for trick or treaters because it was dry. >> nothing wrecks halloween more than rain and/or snow, although i don't think the kids would have minded that as much as a little rain. there actually is a little rain that i'll show you in a moment, but most of our trick-or- treaters had it dry. we've got a couple of pictures to show you. i'm trying to figure out exactly where this was. this was also georgetown, too. the little ones are down there and the big kids are taking over the party late tonight as we just saw in will thomas' story. not as much fun when halloween is on a monday night, but it looks like people are adjusting their schedules accordingly so they can really enjoy the evening. even batman finally arrived. good to know he's in town and can rescue us, lots of creativity out there forsure. let's look at radar tonight to

see what we are talking about. this is not rain, but down across charles county, a little bit of calvert county crossing over into the bay, that's some light showers, maybe a few moderate downpours and a little bit of northern st. mary's the company getting in on that. showers, that's probably about as close as most of them get. they are coming from a weak area of low pressure moving just down to our south. you can see some of the more moderate downpours. those are staying south of us. if anything get into the metro area, it would be sprinkles or very spotty showers. i think this will be pretty much out of here by morning. we widen out the picture. it does extend down to the carolinas. this will eventually get off the coast and become yet another pretty big storm, although this time it will be far east of the coastline before that develops. we are thinking this won't be a bad week. as a matter of fact, even if we have a couple clouds from the morning system, they won't last long and we think we're in for a very sunny tuesday with a temperature of about 58

degrees. by the way, we've got a lot of clouds out there now. it's not as chilly as last night. wednesday 60 degrees, thursday dry. thursday night overnight into friday is the next chance of neighbor a couple showers. notice our temperature -- maybe a couple showers. notice our temperatures are warming up a bit, too. 56 degrees today, average 64, well below it. dulles last night 28 degrees, rebounded to 55. bwi 56 degrees today and temperatures aren't that far from there at this point, cooler tower west where winchester is 43 -- to our west where winchester is 43, dulles 44 degrees with snowpack ute to our north and west, d.c. is -- out to our north and west. d.c. is 50 degrees and i don't think we get much tolder than 44 degrees tonight -- colder than 44 degrees tonight. tomorrow maybe early clouds, but a sunny afternoon up to about 58 degrees. you may notice a north breeze 5 to 15 miles per hour.

sometimes this time of year it's rather noticeable when the wind is from the north, but enjoy the sunshine at 8:00 in the morning 45 degrees, by noon 54 with lots of sunshine and by 4:00 58 degrees and again the sun sticking with us. max hd futurecast will show you showers down to our south and east. we run this out to the morning rush hour and they may still linger across the lower portions of the delmarva, but most of us are getting into the sunshine. tuesday afternoon, keep it sunny through wednesday and our next chance of any precipitation comes along the frontal system, but this really tries to break up. a couple spotty showers thursday night into friday and that should be it. meanwhile looking at the pattern midweek we've got snow for the rockies as the jet stream takes a big dip out there. high pressure will rule here in the east and that will make it nice for the weekend even with some sunshine in our future. so we're in good shape in week.

something you do need to know about this weekend, as we look at friday at 54 into saturday, very nice. we get an extra hour of sleep this weekend. >> it's that time of year again. it is late. it's part of that legislation that passed a couple years ago in congress where we return to standard time about a week later and we'll go back to daylight saving time a number of weeks before we used to back in the day. >> i don't like the change. it starts too early. >> i don't either. >> i read a great argument over the weekend why we should just do away with it altogether. >> it was done for a farming society to bring the crops in. >> and the kids could help. >> that's right. >> i vote for the change. >> me, too. look at this viral video, a surprise proposal not going as the guy planned. this is his youtube video of the event. after everyone yelled surprise brittany thought it was a birthday party until her boy friend got down on one knee. watch what happens. she really didn't. she passed out cold.
