degrees and today is the 11th day at 70 degrees or better. today, tomorrow, we go back down into the 60s. we're still near 60 or near 70 at 69 degrees in the d.c. area and as we move across the rest of the region, we're in the low 70s and upper 60s. the temperature about 64, 65 degrees if you're coming down to the ball game tonight. as far as what we'll be seeing in the radar and the satellite picture, it will not be much overnight tonight. the difference will be during the day tomorrow. clear skies overnight tonight, but we are going to see the cold front from the north make its way down and what that will do for us is cool us down a little bit and back to around the 60-degree mark and some looks sticking in the upper 50s and we should also bring cloud cover by tomorrow evening and watch for those clouds and by saturday that cold front that came down will actually move back to the north as a warm front. normally that means nice and warm weather, but in this case it means the potential for showers and thunderstorms ahead of yet another storm system that is going to be a strong storm and we'll watch out for this one very closely because there's a good chance that we'll have strong to severe storms on saturday and they could be during the afternoon. we could see heavy rain from this if it sets up right. we'll be watching out for this one very closely on nbc 4 for you. check out the website, nbc4.com or the weather channel for the latest on your forecast. this evening, expect a nice evening, pleasantly cool if you are coming to the game tonight any maybe just a light being. >>et and that's about it. tomorrow morning, you'll definitely need the jacket for an hour or two starting off about 40 degrees to 48 inside the beltway and as we make our way during the day tomorrow, with some high clouds moving on in and as the day goes by, we'll see cooler air start to move in and we'll see more cloud cover during the day as well. high temperature it temperature it is in the low 06s and as we move through the day on saturday, temperatures will be in the low 60s and we're expecting those showers and can those thunderstorms to come on through here and they'll be out of here for the most part on sunday. sunday there is a chance that we could see shower activity early in the day. most of sunday we'll be okay and right now we're forecasting a half and half weekend and then we start to rise again into the 70s and near 80 degrees on wednesday. that's ahead of yet another storm system, but this time of year to get up to 80 you do need those storms to bring you the warmer air. so we hope the warmer air will get here before another chance of showers and thunderstorms comes up late in the day wednesday and into the day on thursday. so game time now. i'm looking at the clock. actually, i'm not. 6:28. lindsay says where's the clock in i'm new to that. >> the digital clock. >> it's that clock right there. 6:28 so game time in just over half an hour and

there are new rules tonight for people who drive hybrid vehicles for at least another year, you could use the hov lanes on i-95, 395 and 66 as well as the dulles toll road, but as julie carey explains, changes are on the way. >> for virginia drivers this is the license plate that means the different between a gridlock commute any a much quicker trip, but where hybrids can drive has changed over the years. this plate was issued to drivers before 2006 and allows them to drive solo in all hov lanes during rush hour. the good news for those drivers. that will continue for at least another year. >> yes. the general assembly did approve it so if you have a hybrid vehicles you can use the hov lanes until july 1, 2012 and there are a lot of caveats and you have to know the rules before you get on them. >> a brand new rule is getting crowded with hybrids. these plates that allow drivers to drive solo will no longer be available. >> they estimate that about 20% of the hov traffic on 66 is made up of hybrids and that's enough to where they need to cap it to keep those lanes first and foremost for carpoolers. >> back along i-95, carpoolers have a mixed view about the decision to continue granting hybrids free passing during rush hour. >> i don't mind. the whole point of the hov is to save gas and emitting bad gasses into the air. >> if they're not admitting anything, i get to work on time. >> i don't like it. it jams the h osh v laps for us that r a car so i don't like it at all. it could impact the tealers in not selling high bride. he hates to see the hov rules tighten on hybrids. >> it works against us because the states have incentives to buy the green hybrids and they're putting tax dollars and it doesn't cost the state anything and they'll take a away a reason to buy a hybrid. it doesn't make sense to me. >> reporter: there's one road where they can use the hov lane without special rules and that's the dulles toll road. julie carey, news 4. hybrid owners with the pre-2006 tags can transfer them if they buy a new hybrid. coming up, a man caught walking in the wrong place at the wrong time. and ford recalls millions of its prized pickups today. and we found

breaks out of the playoff ♪ i thought it was over here... ♪ [car horn honks] our outback always gets us there... ... sometimes it just takes us a little longer to get back. ♪ exciting night on the ice, long night. >> it was. as a matter of fact, guys, it was the longest playoff game between the capitals and rangers ever, and it couldn't have had a sweeter ending. the capitals stayed patient and waited for their opportunity and pounced at the perfect time to take down the rangers. it's just one step in what the caps hope is a march to the stanley cup. alex ovechkin was ready to go and the rangers have the puck behind the net any they get it out to matt gilroy and gilroy able to get it past michael and the rangers jump on top 1-0 and they've thinking here we go again. alex ovechkin barrels towards the net and look at it. it doesn't give up and just pokes it in there and they're saying it's a goal. they had to review it for a second because you can see that the goal came loose and then they said, yeah and the place went absolutely bananas because we are tied at one. tied at one and we go to overtime and less than two minutes to go. rangers getting sloppy and they get it over to alex siemens. the guy they call sasha has the perfect pass right here. alex had to knock the puck down first. look at the reaction, breathing a sigh of relief and the capitals lead the series 1-0 and they hope siemens' playoff slump is done. >> when you get a guy like that scoring and get his confidence up and he's very talented and we're still working on him in the defensive zone. you just try and tell him to play solid defensively accident goals will come and we hope the opportunities will come and we're starting to get that. >> i'm very happy for sasha because last year he was a little bit upset that he didn't score any goals and right now it's very important for him to step up and show his leadership. >> we're not getting anywhere without alex scoring. we need him to go to create that other offensive threat and they made a great play to keep it in and he didn't hesitate. he just shot it. >> game two for the capitals and rangers tomorrow night at verizon center and guys, the reason it was such a big deal is not just because they won the game, but how they won the game. alex scored for the first time in 15 playoff games. >> wow! that's huge. >> it's big. he's back on track and they're feeling good about it. >> talking baseball now. from one cy young award winner to another, when they play the phillies and the pitching staff is loaded with faces. it was roy hala,day. jimmy rollins hits a short hopper here right to short. ian desmond, oh, man. drops it. two errors in the game any that leads to a run and that run would prove to be costly. bottom of the ninth, danny espinoza goes the other way. rollins makes the stop and jason worth comes in to score and makes it a 3-2 game. two batters later and two on for pudge rodriguez and he's caught looking. roy holliday goes the distance with nine strikeouts, 3-2 the final. the nationals, 5 and 6 on the season. they're wrapping up their series tonight with the phillies at nationals park. lindsay czarniak has been out all day. the weather is pretty good and do one favor for me. keep kammerer out of the shot. he's had enough face time already. >> i just looked over and in the middle of ian desmond, there's kammerer signing autographs and he's letting it all go to his head down here. we have to keep him in the studio from now on. tonight, as you know, as doug tries to walk behind to get in our shot, jordan zimmerman is on the mound for the nationals. it's cliff lee who takes the hill for the phillies. so the buzz around the nation is that this is the game to watch just because of the talent on both sides, but when i talked to ryan zimmerman about the amount of pitching talent that the nationals had been facing going up against this team, here's what he had to say. >> that's pretty much our division and we had to get used to it. >> in order to be a good team, you have to compete and beat the best teams. we have a few of those teams in our division. every night it's a tough pitcher and it's a challenge for us and our young guys to learn how to prepare for that every night and if you have to prepare for that every night, once we get to the next level and playing in the playoffs and doing good things then you're ready for it. >> ryan zimmerman is still out on the d.l. nursing an abdominal strain. he's feeling better, but he has to give it time. it's hairston, jr., who will take his place in third place. the nationals would love to get the win for the series and doug kammerer, i don't think, is coming back soon. you guys might need to find a weather fill-in. >> you will be enjoying pretty good weather tonight. >> have fun. >> yae yes. >> sounds good. >> talking hoops now. for the third year in a row the wizards have finished at least 30 games under .500, but for the first time during the stretch it looks like there's a reason to be optimistic and they have good, young players and you see the marinade, and maybe another season or two, and there are plenty of salary cap space and two more first-round picks coming so rock bottom may be over, but it lasted a long time. head coach flip saunders wrapping up the season in cleveland last night. the wizards converting off the cleveland turnover and the pass ahead to john wall by his loansome. he had just ten points. third quarter. the wizards off and running again. jamal crawford to andre black. 20
