6:07 am
it feels fabulous around the beltway right now. that's a true statement. no delays to report. no accidents on the beltway itself. xxreporting normal service. heading across the wilson bridge, the american legion bridge, nothing complicated in and out of the district right now. on 270. coming southbound from 85 to get to 109, we have our normal
6:08 am
delays. after that building volume right here at father hurley boulevard. in virginia on 95, it's volume. that's it through stafford, through dale city. we're all right through springfield and on to 395. in virginia f8f(zon 66, eastbou traffic just starting to slow out of manassas to get into centreville but pretty decent right now fair oaks into vienna and no issues to report through falls church. now, it's all about preparation. for that we use howard bernstein in the weather center. just trying to keep it easy on the roads and easy in the weather office. we are looking at a clear, chilly morning. lots of 40s out there. a decent day. we will see the clouds increase in the mid- to late afternoon. highs in the low 70s. we have a threat for showers, though, on friday, part of saturday and part of sunday. back with your full weekend forecast at about 6:15. today the f.b.i. plans to exhume a body which may finally close the case of a local family murdered nearly 40
6:09 am
years ago. >> police believe the man they're exhuming is william bradford bishop. bishop is wanted in the 1976 death of his wife, mother and three sons. >> we're joined on the found by andrea mccarren. she's traveling to scottsboro today to witness the 'l exhumation. good morning. as late as 2010, people were saying they saw william bradford bishop in italy or somewhere in europe. what led authorities to the the grave of a man who's been dead for almost 33 years? >> reporter: isn't this astonishing? good morning, andrea and snake. photo journalist joe martin -- and nick. photo journalist joe martin and are i headed to alabama. he was placed on the f.b.i.'s lt top ten most wanted list and indeed he had been sighted around the world. some incredible sightings from colleagues at the state department where he was a long- time employee. but after this global manhunt,
6:10 am
here we are headed to rural scottsboro, alabama and a small are ñcivil war graves where th believe an unidentified john doe that was hit by a car along a highway in 1981 could be william bradford bishop. and that's why they're digging up the body today. the body has some very distinctive characteristics that are similar to that of bishop. for instance, a distinctive cleft in his chin, a lengthy nose. it will be so interesting to see whether dental d.n.a. matches up with this suspect who's been sought for decades. and anyone who lived in the d.c. area knows that this case has both captivated and haunted
6:11 am
this community for years. >> andrea, when you're looking at the timetable it may take to actually confirm that is indeed bishop, do you know what we're looking at as far as that process? you mentioned dental records. >> reporter: and d.n.a. that's a great question. hopefully it will be sooner rather than later but at the same time based on my own experience, it will probably be several weeks to get definitive these years searching for him. of course just to recap the case, it was a brutal crime. some detectives in montgomery county said it was the most violent crime scene they'd ever seen. the grand jury in 1976 indicted him on the five murders of his mother, his wife, his three little boys. he fled with the family dog to north carolina allegedly dug a shallow grave, buried the bodies, doused them with
6:12 am
gasoline and there are records in our area of him purchasing shovels, a can of gas, those kind of things. and then the last known sighting was where his car was abandoned in the smoky mountains of tennessee and the trail went cold from there. so that it would end up in rural alabama would really be astonishing and hopefully would bring closure to any relatives in the community that were so traumatized by this violent crime back in the 1970's. >> as you said amazing because a lot of people thought he was involved in spying, all sorts of things because he was a foreign service worker. it was just amazing. so hopefully this can be put to rest after this exhumation takes place. again, andrea mccarren and photo journalist joe martin are on their way there. they'll be bringing us updates throughout the day. 5lat wusa9.com. safe travels, andrea. >> reporter: thanks so much. of course we'll be checking in

i'm going to tell you a secret. apparently there was a road rage incident reported this morning on 270 for traffic coming out of frederick toward 109 hyattstown. it happened in the median. sky 9 quick to go aloft. let's see what we can find on 270. besides a lot of volume coming southbound leaving 85 off and on to 109 it looks like, no flashes lights anywhere in that area. expect to find delays leaving 80, the normal stuff merging on to southbound 270 and by the way, your next delay begins at father hurley boulevard. virginia, you're next. nothing complicated but volume. 66 a lot of it out of manassas to centreville on 95 heading northbound to get out of dale city. and around the beltway. we're just starting to build in volume toward the wilson bridge. now back to the news desk. >> all right, lisa.
6:17 am
we can deal with volume as long as we don't have any crashes and looks pretty good this morning. weather wise as well. i was there yesterday evening. i don't know how people do that on a daily basis. >> we get in so early that traffic usually is not an issue for us. >> i was an hour from the excite in -- it was an hour from the exit in tysons to the mclean bridge. weather wise, good morning out there. a little bit chilly. temps in the 40s. he's making hip hop references all the time. you never know. you need some heavier jewelry or something. let's go to the board here and show you what's happening. we have sunny skies this morning giving way to some clouds this afternoon. the clouds will thicken up tonight. highs in the low 70s. so after this chilly start, it really will be a comfortable afternoon. winds westerly, west,
6:18 am
southwesterly running 5, 10 miles an hour. so not a lot of wind. temperatures this evening fall through the 60s and it won't be as chilly tonight with the cloud cover around as it is this morning. 40s and 50s although reagan national 61. it's deceptive. it's not that warm for 99% of you out there. we've got 40s also and 50s but raleigh 55. we will see warmer readings as we head into tonight. locally down to 44 in damascus. it's 50 in centreville. 49 in alexandria this morning. bowie is one of our cooler spots at 46 with a 54 in chevy chase. so outside on our michael & son weather camera, a little more light at the white house now. reagan national 61. winds north at 9 miles an hour. the air very dry. dew point is only in the upper 30s right now. that's one of the reasons the temperatures got chilly away from the bay and away from the potomac. cold air to the north is battling the cold air or the warmer air to the south. this afternoon we're looking at temperatures which actually
6:19 am
will get into the 80s, near 90 in little rock. but 50s to the north. then tomorrow this front is sinking a little farther to the south. on this front we'll be watching little pieces of low pressure developing. these little ripples on the front. whether one of these comes by, that enhances the shower threat for us. one that we're watching now is in missouri coming in towards southern illinois. that's going to be moving south and then southeast and east toward us. the northern end of this, if you watch the extra trectry, -- watch the trajectory, we'll get some showers in here. i think they'll have a tough time crossing the appalachians but certainly the clouds will get here for the afternoon. by lunch time we may see a stray shower slip into central, west central west virginia. we'll be fine in the metro region for the middle of the day. a few more clouds in the afternoon. southern maryland, northern neck, eastern shore potentially you're going to stay sunny most of the day. nice this morning down there. tonight the clouds overspread
6:20 am
most of the region with a stray shower toward friday morning north and west. during the day on friday, a few showers, especially in the afternoon and evening. we're monitoring friday for a yellow alert day because these showers are going to be this widespread. that would impact quite a few folks for the ride home. also potentially for friday night high school football. we'll have showers around friday night into saturday morning. these showers should be gone pretty early, i'm thinking mid- morning saturday so saturday afternoon we'll be in better shape here finishing dat we some sunshine. so saturday will not be a washout. today pretty good day in spite of the clouds thickening up, 72. tonight cloudy, 57 in town. low 50s north and west. tomorrow some showers mainly in the afternoon and evening, possible yellow alert day, 68. an early shower, partly sunny in the afternoon, 67 on saturday. clouds thicken. some showers could return laterç sunday 65. warmer monday with isolated showers as we shoot back into the mid-70s.

6:26 am
thought the suspect police with searching for would be found 1300 miles away on a remote texas beach or that police would soon be investigating him in connection to more missing girls. jesse matthew spent much of his time on the run recently driving in his sister's stolen beat up nissan. it carries clues about his journey from virginia to the beach. cigarette butts fill the ashtray and a charlottesville police detective's business card is thrown in the back seat. in the front this religious tape and an odd yellow envelope instructing someone to read a letter first. inside the envelope a cross. >> just down the lane is where his campsite was. >> reporter: karen is the person who first recognized jesse matthew on the beach and called police. >> he drove past right here and stopped dead still and looked right at me for a little while, a few seconds.
6:27 am
and then he left the beach and that's when i knew who it was. >> reporter: as the waves crashed, karen's confidence briefly waned. >> just thinking maybe that wasn't him. maybe it was. >> reporter: her conscience told her she had to do something. one of the deputies responded but even after running plate didn't have confirmation that the man was wanted. >> it didn't get a good signal. the signal didn't come back right away it was the individual we were looking for when he russian the plate. >> reporter: but as luck would have it it triggered aletters on other deputies' working computers. an experienced deputy who later shunned public attention arrested matthew. did matthew ever tell anyone why he came to gel veston in-- >> galveston? >> he's been very quiet. he was only out there a day or two. >> reporter: what makes you say that? >> i would rather leave that alone. >> reporter: are there other places-- >> it's being looked into as part of the case.
6:28 am
>> reporter: hannah graham isn't the only young woman to go missing connected to matthew. in 2009 morgan harrington disappeared after a concert there and her body was found months later. her murder shares a forensic tie to a 2005 sex assault. rape claims against matthew go back to 2002 and 2003 when two women say he assaulted them. both decided not to file charges leaving matthew with no arrest record for the alleged crime. but the mystery and the search for graham continues. law enforcement sources tell local 2 they are confident graham is not along the water where the suspect who is thought to have taken her ended his time on the run. on bolivar peninsula, chase larson. >> if you have any lead or tip, investigators are asking you to call the number on your screen or e-mail charlottesville police. some dire warnings are out this morning about flooding that could threaten parts of
6:29 am
our area for years to come. >> the union of concerned scientists says d.c. and annapolis will experience a major increase in flooding over the next 30 years with as many as 400 floods per year. scientists say that is because of global warming. they say ocean city will get an increase in floods by the year 2045. if you are hooked on the magic coffee bean, it could be genetic. that's according to a new harvard study. researchers found six new gene variations determine how people react to caffeine. until now experts believed everyone reacted to caffeine in the same way. >> most of you at this time are probably sipping that firstup of morning coffee preparing to head into work. >> how are we looking, lisa? >> reporter: things are actually looking pretty g. ail he take over from here, -- pretty good. i'll take over from here, nick. southbound 21 looks like only one lane is getting by.
6:30 am
this is an aerial shot from sky 9. at least three miles of backup we're seeing in the area. i would definitely think about getting on after 118. if you're going to hop on 270 headed towards the spur to make your way down towards the rockville area, that would be a much better idea at this time this morning. otherwise capital beltway looking pretty decent. if we go to the big map, you can take a look there. we are building volume on the top side of the beltway from the college park interchange over toward the 270 spur. building volume northbound 395 and 95 through virginia headed towards downtown d.c. and into -- excuse me, into downtown from the 14th street bridge. no reports of any issues right now 066. that's a look -- now on 66. that's a look at your morning drive. >> i know it says 61 on the screen. that's here at reagan national. other spots closer to 50. we have spots in the mid-40s this morning. grab a jacket or sweat shirt if you're going to be out and about the next couple of hours because it will be a cool start. but overall it's going to be a pretty nice day. here's a look at your day
