Hey, good to be with you. Getting closer and closer to the weekend, but really with days like we've had this past week, it's just been a celebration each and every one of them. Oh, my gosh. I want to say like a fifth-day stretch now of the nice weather. Going to keep it going. Yeah, we're going to keep it rolling here. It is a little chilly out early this morning. I'm going to show you the numbers here in just a bit. But, Stephen, your opener there, you didn't mention the Wizards won. Wizards with a big win. Right? Davis, a huge debut. You won an opener win in four years. It's about time. We're undefeated. We are. We're going places. I didn't recognize that team when I was watching them last night. I'm like, whoa. All right, 32 in Frederick this morning, 32 in Winchester, a little bit milder in town, but it's still a cool morning. 46 in D.C., 39 in Leonardtown and Fredericksburg. Another beautiful day. We'll be in the upper 60s. More in just a minute. All right, thank you. Taking a look here at 6 o'clock. This is what your Thursday morning commute overview looks like. For the most part, looking good. We will take a look at about 10 minutes in delays, though, so not too bad there through Woodbridge just yet, 95 northbound. Your main lanes have a crash there before Prince William Parkway with the left lane and shoulder blocked. Multiple vehicles involved in this incident, so we'll follow along with the cleanup, but again, about 10 minutes. Back to you. This morning, repair crews are working to fix a sinkhole near a Montgomery County middle school. This is along Perrywood Drive, right in front of Banneker Middle School in Burtonsville. WSSC says the school does not have running water because of the water main break that led to that sinkhole. Police say this is likely going to be a long-term road closure as crews work on repairs. We'll keep you posted. Montgomery County Public Schools, though, have not yet said if the school will be closed today. In Maryland, early voting begins today. Election offices expecting a pretty strong turnout. Meantime, Virginia's early voting is expanding today to more locations. And Fox 5's Melanie Ollick, she's live in Fairfax this morning with what you need to know. Tis the season, Mel. Yeah, and hey, listen, here in Virginia, one of the first states in the nation to open up early voting. It began on September 13th, but that was really only in those central locations. locations. And now here in Fairfax County, 13 additional neighborhood locations are opening up today to give voters more opportunity. They certainly are taking advantage of it. Already, election officials in Virginia report that more than 822,000 ballots have been cast for this midterm election. That's nearly double the pace of the 2022 midterms. Voters are casting ballots for the House, Senate and three ballot questions. Virginia voters are advised to check their registration status because you must vote in the locality that you are registered and you need to bring an acceptable form of ID in Virginia. Early voting in Virginia wraps up Saturday, October 31st. Maryland is opening up its early voting locations today. All eight Maryland representatives in Congress are up for election. And, you know, this is the first time in 45 years that District 5 has an open seat after Representative Steny Hoyer retired. Voters will also be casting ballots for governor lieutenant governor attorney general comptroller and their state legislators and one thing to watch for nationwide really people be looking is to see whether Maryland voters will approve ballot question three which would open the door to partisan redistricting for congressional seats in Maryland you need to check your registration and your voting site it's also recommended because there's so many things on the Maryland ballot to review that in advance it will make your time in the voting booth go quicker and some first time voters may be asked to show ID, always a good idea to bring it. Early voting in Maryland ends on October 29th. Now, we know that many people like the option of mail-in voting or using drop boxes in both Virginia and Maryland. You need to request your ballot ahead of time, and time is ticking down for you to do that. You can go to our website and our Fox Local app for instructions on how to do that. D.C. opens up its early voting on Monday. Steve and Melissa, our Maryland makes a much needed balance in county board is suing the Trump administration to prevent armed federal agents from being present at polling places during the midterm elections. A complaint filed just yesterday accuses the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Justice of creating policies that would arm those FBI and ICE agents to carry out civil and immigration law at the sites. Stephanie Ramirez, she's going to be covering this for us in our next half hour. And remember, Fox 5, your home for all election coverage all across the DMV. We have Republican candidate for governor, Dan Cox, joining us this morning for a live interview. He's running in Maryland against the sitting governor, Wes Moore, who we just talked to. That's coming up at 7.30. We had the one-on-one with Governor Wes Moore, seeing his second term in office. You can find that interview already posted at fox5dc.com. It is 6.04 on your Thursday morning, Friday evening. And when it comes to weather, every day has been giving Friday vibes, if we're being honest. Can't complain. I mean, it's just one of the best stretches of weather that we've had in recent memory. It is tough to find something to be upset about in the weather world. For sure. It's a little chilly out this morning. I'll say that, especially north and west. We've got some low 30s. But right back into the mid to upper 60s this afternoon. We'll keep it dry. I mentioned yesterday a few times we might make it to November before our next chance for rain. So maybe the end of next week. But it'll be certainly down the road here. And it will not be this weekend, as we're going to have great, glorious conditions around here for several more days. Seasonal fall weather. And, again, it is chilly out there. Leonardtown this morning looking good. There's a tree strutting its stuff. I can see some orange there. It looks like a beautiful maple out there this morning. And we are at 46 degrees in Washington, 38 Dallas. And, again, I want to mention a lot of 30s outside the Beltway to the north and west. So put the jacket on early. You'll want it. How about lots of sunshine, low humidity? Does this sound familiar? Here, winds out of the north and east as our system, Josephine, our subtropical system, passes off to the north and east. We'll continue to get some breezes today. Otherwise, we're going to get glorious conditions and very nice weather around here. We'll start to turn a little cooler as we get into the end of the week. But today, fantastic stuff. 68 degrees, sunny, another gorgeous day out there. I'll have weekend details, what to expect, in just a few minutes. Before we toss it to traffic, just a reminder, the Fox Local app, the way to do it, absolutely free. and the only way to get me to not talk about it every day is to download it and once everybody's downloaded it, then I won't talk about it anymore. So you can make this not happen. Is that why you talk about it every day? Well, there's still three people in Dumfries and there are two people in Gaithersburg that haven't downloaded it. Oh, okay. We're waiting patiently. We're watching you. Yeah. Okay, we got a shout out and we got John Howard, Marine Corps Major and it looks like we're doing a veteran shout out there in San Diego But send us a picture of the veteran in your life. Scan me in the upper left-hand corner this time, and let us know what you're up to. We love it. All right, off to you, Annamie. All right, thank you. Take a look here, 6:06, at your roadways here through Woodbridge 95 northbound. Looking at your main lanes this day. Crash before Prince William Parkway. That has the left lane and shoulder blocked. About 11 minutes in delays you'll see from Dumfries Road. That's for about five miles. You kind of see your drive time double, so a little bit slower there. New crash here after Maryland 80 and Urbana. This is 270 headed south. left lane and shoulder are blocked in about 26 minutes and delays in Maryland 85 so that was the reason we were seeing a couple of minutes of an increase on your 270 southbound drive time in general usually it's not around 40 minutes which it was about five minutes ago this early on but of course now that's as a result of the incident we are looking at there elsewhere outer loop of the beltway this is about 10 minutes between 95 and Georgia and then finally BW Parkway north and southbound directions are yellow in both directions but for the most part normal here at six marissa Thanks, Betty Mae.

Students at seven Montgomery County schools headed back to class this morning after lockdowns yesterday following reports of shots fired near Walter Johnson High School in North Bethesda. Police investigating along Rockledge Drive recovering shell casings just off the campus. four people were detained. Students at Walter Johnson say the situation was tense as officers swarmed the area with shields and long guns. There was two teachers that just brought us into a class closest to where we came in because they told us that it was in lockdown. So they just brought us in their class and they didn't want anybody in the hallways. And they said over the announcements that there was a lockdown in place. I think so. I think I was definitely nervous, very nervous. It makes me just, I'm already an anxious person, so like something like that, I just can't. My day's just done. There were no injuries as a result of the shots fired. We're still waiting to hear from police whether any other charges will be filed. All right, so to come as the investigation continues into Democratic Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, the Minnesota representative making a major decision this morning, what she just announced coming up. And some Lime Riders in D.C. are getting kicked off the app, and the list could keep growing. What's prompting the company to take action this morning?
