at radar. everything you see in yellow is a severe thunderstorm warning. we have two areas and it's not really within the immediate metro area. out to our west along interstate 81. you can see some of those counties out there. also warren, frederick county, and clark county in virginia as well as washington county and frederick, you have a severe thunderstorm warning. those are going to go until 5:30. let's get in more specifically. i want to show you the immediate areas that are under the gun right now. so they are showing you who has the severe thunderstorm warnings. it's not every part of those regions. we had a few down to the south. they just dropped all of the warnings that were in effect down around the northern neck. there is plenty of lightning with these. that's the main thing people need to be aware of. the only report in addition to the lighting is the fact there are tree limbs. some o r producing hail, like this one you see not too far from colonial beach.

that is going to be crossing the river and heading on up to your north and watch these up in washington county, too, they are moving slowly to the southeast, dropping heavy rain. you know they have the lightning as well. hail will be the big story, heavy rain as they move on through. as you can see, it's not for everybody. but our entire region, as we watch this cool front, which is just out on the other side of the mountains getting ready to come through, we will have to watch these storms for the next few hours. we have most of this region in a severe thunderstorm watch until 9:00 tonight. once that sun goes down, i think we'll start seeing storms winding down and boy, it's done a number on our temperatures already. it got up to 96. potentially 97. i'll get the latest observation in a minute. some of these rainstorms and out flow boundaries, the wind associated with them down to 91 degrees. it's in the mid 80s. as we look up to the west, it is dropping into the low 80s and we can look forward to

those temperatures dropping. between now and then, you have to keep an eye on those storms. we'll be here for the next 90 minutes. i'll let you know if we get any new warnings. >> you can check the live radar any time with the fox 5 weather app. you can find it on our website. another big story we're following tonight. d.c. public schools under the microscope. critical irregularities were found at two elementary schools and one charter school. fox 5's john hanrahan is here. some teachers were fired because of this one. >> they fired the teachers, or at least they started the human relations process. in d.c., if a school gets public money, all students are subject to standardized testing. there have been questions in recent years about test integrity in the city, but according to an outside audit

team, it looks clean. former d.c. schools chancellor who got rid of a third of the teachers in the d.c. public school system claimed higher test scores. but a nine month investigation by u.s.a. today found remarkable rates and switches from wrong to right answers clouding that perceived success. current chancellor, kya henderson promised to concentrate on test integrity. many more schools are being closely scrutinized. >> if the classroom had been flagged two years in a row, we threw them into the investigation as well. but even with that, still came up with less than three classrooms having some firm and serious critical violations. >> two of the critical irregularities happened at two

d.c. schools. martin luther king elementary. the chancellor spoke with reporters by phone. >> there are a very small number of adults that made a conscious decision to cheat and those people are no longer teach in d.c. public schools. >> significant test irregularities happened in a third grade classroom at a charter school, formerly named, the hyperleadership school. >> we are revamping our proceediers and tightening security and other achievement data testing. we take very seriously our responsibility to administer tests in an ethical fashion. >> the spokeswoman said the teacher and proctor involved in the 2011 testing no longer worked at the institution. >> out of thousands of classrooms involved in the recent testing in d.c., 2011 testing, three of them had serious irregularities, not too bad. but how about the test score regularities between 2008 and

2010? called the d.c. inspector general's office today, a spokeswoman said the probe remains active, but she would not tell us when that investigation will be completed. that's the story we're looking forward to covering. >> indeed we are. thank you. we are also following developing news right now about the university of virginia. virginia governor, bob mcdonnell, is threatening to replace the entire uv board of visitors if the dismissal of teresa sullivan is not resolved quickly. he didn't want to move forward with the job until the board figures out if it's going to reinstate ousted president, teresa sullivan. supposed to start work august 15, but he will wait for their decision on tuesday. sullivan says she was forced out as president because of disagreements with the board other money issues. >> dick cheney's daughter has tied the knott. mary wed her long time partner in d.c. today. fox 5 in the newsroom now with

details. >> the spokesperson for the former vice president and his wife, lynn, confirmed the wedding today, but added the no additional details will be released. congratulated the couple in the statement. if they say mary and heather have been in a committed relationship for many years and we are delighted that they were able to take advantage of the opportunity to have that relationship recognized. they go on to say mary and heather and their children are very important and much loved members of our family and we wish them every happiness. mary and heather have been a couple for at least twenty years and have two children together. a five-year-old son, samuel, and a two-year-old daughter, sarah, that live in virginia. mary cheney is credited for encouraging her father for publicly support same-sex marriage in 2009. she has been openly gay throughout his political career, but it became a topic of discussion during the bush, cheney republican reelection campaign in 2004. the gay rights groups have criticized mary cheney for not

pushing harder for gay marriage. social conservatives have criticized her for raising children in a same-sex relationship. >> thank you. developing in pennsylvania tonight, day two of jury deliberations in the jerry sandusky trial. we are awaiting a verdict as the child sex abuse case continues. the jury asked to revisit testimony from two witnesses who gave conflicting reports about seeing sandusky allegedly assault a boy in a shower. he is accused of assaulting ten boys. everyone is asking about jerry sandusky's son, matt, he was prepared to testify on behalf of the prosecution, alleging his father sexually abused him. let's bring in mark now. a crisis communications expert and a national advocate for sexual abuse survivors. thank you for being here. >> thank you. >> we all learned about these

new allegations. sandusky's son, matt, says his father sexually abused him. considering all the testimony we heard, were you surprised by these latest allegations? >> i wasn't, shawn. frankly in the fall when matt sandusky's wife appealed to the court and asked for an injunction for coach sandusky being around her three children, it seemed obvious to me that matt sandusky was a possible victim at that time. >> let me ask you, as a survivor yourself, you can help me understand what matt sandusky might be going through. as we said, he's 33 years old, a father of three young children. obviously he grew up in this house. he was a foster child, legally adopted as an adult. what might he be going through right now? >> a lot of trauma. reliving the most traumatic experiences of his life. and he's a family member, which makes it more complicated for him as an abuse survivor. when he came forward, i think it showed a lot of great strength and courage for him to

do so. and also, i would be concerned about the other kids that they had adopted. this was unfortunately a culture of abuse within that household and enabled by university officials and now that jerry sandusky is being judged, once this verdict comes out, all eyes will be on penn state and their approach to this crisis from the public relations standpoint, no one will be able to lock at jerry sandusky anymore. they will be focused on penn state. >> let me ask you, there are so many people looking at this with outside eyes. they have not lived or walked in matt sandusky's shoes. >> there's a lot of shame and guilt that the perpetrator passes on to the victim. when he came out and announced he was a victim, i think that was a threshold moment for him. he was able to breakthrough the silence. that's because victims are classically trapped through the grooming techniques of the perpetrator. he was trapped in silence up

until the moment. now that the jury has the case and they are considering it in deliberations and matt sandusky was able to come forward, i'm hoping he gained some sense of relief now that he has been able to come out with it, come forward with this news and hopefully everyone involved in this case, who i'm sure are quite nervous in happy valley while the jury deliberates, will gain a sense of relief when the process has taken its course. >> a national advocate for sex abuse survivors, thanks so much for coming in. >> thank you. metro had its deadliest crash ever. coming up next at 5:00, the new memorial honoring the memory of the nine victims who died in that crash. out what is triggering your migraines? new insight.  [ female announcer ] the son of a single mom.

proud father of two daughters. president obama knows that women being paid 77 cents on the dollar for doing the same work as men isn't just unfair... it hurts families. so the first law he signed was the lilly ledbetter fair pay act to help ensure that women are paid the same as men for doing the exact same work. because president obama knows that fairness for women means a stronger middle class for america. [ obama ] i'm barack obama and i approve this message.

we want to go back to the breaking news. four children rushed to the hospital after they were hit by a car as they were playing in their front yard. it happened earlier this afternoon. audrey barnes is live on the scene now. audrey, what can you tell us? >> it appears that a driver here on 57th avenue, there was two cars coming down the road. one person was going to turn left and then the person behind them became a little impatient, decides to pass that driver on the left hand side. forcing that car off the road and through that fence you see behind me. behind that fence, you see a

kiddy pool. that kiddy pool was packed with children and that's where the suv is, striking the kids in that pool and ends up hitting that blue house right there. at this point, the driver of that suv along with a child that was in that car with her and the four kids in the pool have all been transported to the hospital. i want to bring in major rob brewer from the police and tell us about this accident. so the kids were just playing and then all of a sudden, an suv comes barreling down on them? >> yes, the four runner passing the left hand side as the blue ford was taking a left. which caused the four runner and explorer to collide. the four runner went off the roadway through a fence and struck the kids in the swimming pool. all four kids in the swimming pool, the adult driver and passenger from the four runner and the adult driver from the ford explorer were transported to various hospitals in the area. >> how badly were these children hurt? >> one of the children was

unresponsive when units first arrived and all reported in stable condition right now. >> a driver that tried to pass on the left face charges? >> yes, the driver will be issued citations, depending on the investigation citations on unsafe passing, maybe reckless driving, that type of thing. >> at this point, everybody is stable for the moment? >> yes. they are all in stable condition. >> thank you very much. we appreciate it. so just a recap for you, there are two adults who have been transported. one adult, that attempted to pass another vehicle on the left. ends up striking four kids in the pool. the child, so one child in that suv have been transferred in the hospital. the good news is, all those kids are stable, but that driver who tried to pass on the left is facing a number of charges, including negligence. shawn, back to you in the studio. >> thank goodness those children are going to be okay.

audrey barnes, thank you. three years ago at this very hour, rescue crews were climbing through the wreckage. nine people were killed. many others injured after two trains collided. family members and local leaders gathered to remember the victims and to talk about safety improvements made since that terrible day. matt acklin is here with more. >> some improvements have been made to the aging metro system. new safety experts have been hired, new equipment. there's still more work to be done. that means more money is needed from congress and that funding is currently being debated. a permanent -- >> three, two, one. >> there we go. a permanent memorial plaque was unveiled on the bridge that crosses over the crash site today. three years ago, this was the scene of a horrible accident. on this anniversary, family members of those lost made a

from 14 agencies. the video of a 68-year-old new york bus monitor are being bullied by middle schoolers went viral. two of the students in this video have since written letters of apology. they are worried about justice, because one of the boys involved received more than 1,000 death threats. refused to file criminal charges, but the school will punish them. let's get back to our top story, which is the severe weather moving through the area. a lot of lightning that we've seen in the last hour or so. some heavy downpours over on the eastern shore. we have to get through the tough part first. >> let's check in with sue and find out what we can expect. sue. >> the relief is going to be worth it. what we're seeing with this line of thunderstorms is to be sure, some are strong. they are not rotating. that tornado threat is way down. they'll produce a lot of

lightning and rain because of all the humidity we've had and a lot of them are producing hail and wind. but not everybody is seeing them. so let me take you to radar and the warnings that we have in effect, you see they are filled out in yellow. that's where warren, frederick, virginia, clark, virginia, and up into maryland, washington, and frederick county, all of these go until 5:30. let's switch you over to centinal radar and show you what counties are affected. the main thing they are doing is producing hail. one of them had rotation high in the storm on the far eastern portion of frederick county. so, a little rotation there, but it's not low in the storm. it's high in the storm. watching a storm in the updraft. notice how high these storms are going in the atmosphere. that's what we call the updraft. the more capable it is of producing the hail and the damaging winds. and as we scan across d.c., we don't see much in the immediate

metro area. we get towards st. mary's county, moving southeast is also heading away. so, here's a look at everything. we have a few more hours to go. severe thunderstorm watch until 9:00. look, if you have plans tonight and don't plan to be parked in front of fox 5. we wish you would, but if you can't, here's something you can do. our fox 5 weather app is pretty terrific. i have it on radar and maybe we'll take a close look. you can track some of these storms as well. i'm going to click on the one. you can see the box and if i click on this little blue dot there, it will tell me exactly where that storm is going. its speed is 16 miles an hour moving to the east at 510. you can even see whether it is producing high winds or hail. this one in particular producing high winds. you can down load this for free on the app store. get it on your ipad. you'll always have the weather on your fingertips. we'll be back in a little bit

from the west. nothing rotating, so i'm happy about that, but they do seem to have a lot of hail and lightning and clearly it looks pretty ominous out there. so we know lots to come. let's start out with a look at radar. everything you see in yellow has a severe thunderstorm warning attached to it. so there's a front off to our west. these warnings are in effect. that will be for winchester and eastern frederick county, north western virginia. parts of jefferson and loudoun county, north western loudoun. that goes until 6:30. we have st. mary's and calvert county until 6:15 and northern frederick and western carol county, up in maryland. that goes until 6:00. a lot of lightning. some strong winds and a little bit of hail being associated with these storms. we get in closer with our radar and you can see the areas that we're talking about. this is the batch to our north. this is the new batch that prompted the warning for a small portion of loudoun county. you can expect that is going to continue to get closer to you.

and these are producing hail as they move southeast. there could be strong winds with them, obviously, a lot of heavy rain as well. this one up here continued to rotate at high levels of the storm. while we don't expect to get a tornado warning, take down some limbs. that's moving east. westminster is going to be affected. that's north of interstate 70. as we put this into motion, these storms moving southeast. leesburg, you may get that. montgomery county, some could be heading in your direction. and one last stop, down to our south, we still have st. mary's and calvert and this is the storm that is doing it and once again, it's a hailer, it looks like. that storm is going to cross drum point and move into the chesapeake bay where it may in fact cross and head on over to the eastern shore. we'll keep an eye on it. a few lines of storms. here's the last one, it's coming with the front. you can watch it in motion. we think these are going to be through by 8:30 or so.

lingering showers might be around in the overnight hours. and the whole region has this severe thunderstorm watch until 9:00. very well placed by the storm prediction center. it follows that up to the northeast because of the heat we've had. it was 95, if not 96 degrees today, folks. dryer, but still very warm and that's because of the humidity will start to drop. even at 9:00, but then we're going to scatter out to a few showers by 11:00 as this all starts to wind down and the temperatures are going to start dropping as well. listen, it's going to be warm tomorrow. our temperature now is 90. very warm. up to our north and west, there are cooler temperatures and probably even more importantly, the humidity level is going to drop and we're already seeing some signs of that. much more reasonable into the mid 60s. tomorrow for your saturday, you are going to notice a difference. about 88 degrees. so again, that's not so hot, but it's also pretty warm. but the humidity will really
