moderator david gregory is here now with more. the student loan issue has been hot all week. this is kind of a sign of the way things are going to go for a while, isn't it? >> it is that. and it also gets into what i think is a big issue this week, which has been an issue in past weeks, which is this issue of how to get women voters. they are going to be the deciders in this election. and we're already finding on the student loan issue, which passed the house, keeping the rate low, but how are you going to pay for that? well, republicans said we're going to have to take it from some of the health care bill that goes to wellness and prevention services. a lot of women in the house saying wait a minute, yet again a blow against issues that women care about for the purpose of the student

gap. but you do see a race tightening in the general population. is this earlier than some were thinking? after a rough primary season. >> there's every reason to believe this election will be close because of the economy, because of how polarized the country is. and i think that mitt romney faces a big question. and i think, again, the other question i'll delve into on the program is who is he really and what kind of campaign will he run? will he simply make this an issue of a referendum on the president's record? or will he be a guy who steps up and says we're in a moment of real pessimism in the country, i've got some bold ideas on how i'm going to sort of cut through things here in wash. we don we don't know the answer to that yet but we got some clues when we heard his victory speech this week. i think there's no question that the question of are you better off now than you were four years ago is going to be central to everything he does. >> you guys talk sports for a minute. >> let's do it. >> washington sports. it's a good time. >> i can't imagine. i mean, it's just -- it's unbelievable. you've got the nats who are on fire. our capitals. you know, going to be taking on the

about the area. we have seen rather windy conditions. and yes, yet another day below average. the last five out of six days have been below average. the average high temperature 70 degrees. 64 during the day today. low this morning at 50 degrees. tonight is going to be well below average, and we'll see another day below average tomorrow. and not just a little bit below but maybe about 10, 15 degrees. depending on where you are. take a look at this shot. a great shot. there's the cathedral right there. looking good. and off in the distance temperature right now 63 degrees, but you can notice the wind still shaking the camera just a little bit with winds gusting to about 28 to 30 miles an hour. most of the area seeing some pretty gusty winds. those winds really blowing the pollen around. a lot of pollen sufferers really having a tough time during the day today. those winds will come down tomorrow. tomorrow a better day for you folks. 57 degrees right now in gaithersburg. 59 in

advisory. howard, montgomery, over toward loudoun, down toward northern faulk here. this area could see a pretty good frost early tomorrow morning and then, well, then we'll just see the chance for some rain increase during the day. no rain to talk about right now on storm 4 radar. but as we widen out we move back to the west. and this is was coming. big-time severe thunderstorms going on into portions of kansas and then up toward the north some heavy rain. but this is the rain that's going to be affecting us. it's a warm front and it's moving our way very, very slowly. most of the time with a warm front our rain is fairly light to moderate. i don't expect much in the way of heavy rain. this evening cool and rather breezy. we are seeing the sunshine out there. tomorrow just cool, cloudy, and rather damp. the showers coming through along the warm front here. i think we'll see our best chan of rain after the 5:00 hour. could see some more earlier than that. but i think the best chance of a steady rain will be after about 5:00 into about 6:00, 7:00. the farther west you live you'll see the rain first. the farthetherther east you livl see the rain last. plenty of sunshine really sunday. looking like a very nice day. let's break it down four on the future weather forecast. 6:00 tonight, no problem. we saw plenty of sunshine around 6:00, and now we're starting to see just some clouds moving in by around 3:00, 4:00, 5:00 in the morning. by around be 9:00 tomorrow morning right when david's son's playing soccer, looking pretty good out there. i think we'll be okay for those morning games as we move through the day, though, the clouds will thicken. they'll be on the increase. here's 2:30. big-time rains just to the north and west. this is the moderate, maybe some heavy rain, but down to the south and east like along the bay just some light showers if that around 2:30. and then everybody seeing an increase in the rain around 6:00, 7:00, 8:00 tomorrow night

just the cold. clouds on the increase early tomorrow morning but tonight clear skies first will lead to cold temperatures down around the freezing mark in many locations and because of that we do have a freeze warning back to the west. we're talking about the same areas that have seen it around i-81 westward and even around gaithersburg and leesburg a frost advisory for you folks. we will warm up tomorrow to 59 in gaithersburg, 61 in manassas and 62 in fredricksburg. i think most of the day should be dry but by early afternoon we'll see the clouds really start to lower and then we will see the rain move in by late tomorrow afternoon in through the evening hours. tomorrow evening should be on the wet side. here we go through the future cast. and you can see we're moving through tonight. by tomorrow morning say, cloud cover around the region, maybe some breaks in those clouds. but here comes the rain through around 2:30. the heaviest rain north and west, light rain to the south and east, and then everybody gets in on the action tomorrow night. if you have plans tomorrow night, the umbrella will be a necessity. >> all right. baseball, hockey, football, it's all good, dan hellie. >> you know what? we actually had some breaking news this afternoon in regards to the nationals. we've got to say it. bryce harper, come on down already. the nationals placed ryan zimmerman on the designated injury list with a shoulder injury and decided to call up super prospect bryce harper much earlier than expected. harper's been playing for the nationals' top minor league with mixed results so far this season. the 19-year-old outfielder hitting just .250 for aaa syracuse. he recently did get his first home run of the season. nationals general manager mike rizzo has personally scouted harper for the last three days and feels like he's ready to make the jump. the nationals will likely move him ton the starting left field spot. he'll be the starting left fielder at 19, isn't that something? she did keep him in the minors to make sure he will remain under club control for six season beyond this one. harper will make his major league debut against the dodgers tomorrow. stephen strasburg will be the starting pitcher. a lot of star power out there in hollywood for the nationals this weekend. man, that is going to be fun. it was like christmas in april except you knew exactly what santa was bringing you. the redskins took their quarterback of the future with the second pick in the nfl draft, which got under way last night. roger goodell saying what redskins fans have been waiting to hear for months. >> with the second pick in the 2012 nfl draft the washington redskins select robert griffin iii. quarterback, baylor. >> and the reaction at fedex field, happiness as well. hope restored for the franchise. speaking of quality quarterback for an awfully long time the burgundy and gold hope he fits the bill. the pressure will be on griffin to meet the hype but shanahan knows the pressure's on both to meet the expectations. >> we know we've got to give him everything we possibly can to give us the best chance to win and for him to be the best he's going to be. now it's up to me to get him the right supporting cast, the right system to where he feels comfortable, with what we're doing without putting too much pressure on him. >> being a bronco fan growing up i watched him do things with a lot of running backs, a lot of guys they said couldn't do it and he made sure they could. so he's a great coach, and from what i've heard he allows his players to have input on what they do. so not that i'm going to go in and say hey, we need to do this, this, and this, but i'll definitely, you know, try to be open with him just like i know he's going to be open with me. >> i know one thing. he's going to go 100 miles an hour. he's a sponge. he loves what he does. he wants to be the guy. and he's going to do everything he possibly can to be successful. you don't have to be around him very long to figure that out. >> skins fans get a chance to meet rg3 at a draft day party tomorrow at fedex field. gates open 11:30 in the morning. and the draft continues tonight at 7:00 with the second and third rounds. the skins have one pick in the third round. the capitals now in the second round of the playoffs and they don't get much rest. starting their series with the rangers tomorrow afternoon in new york. the guys on the ice this morning as a team for the first time since winning in boston on wednesday. and joel ward welcomed back like the game 7 hero he is. take a listen. [ cheers and applause ] ward received numerous race exist threatening tweets after his game-winning goal against the bruins. since the terrible tweets he's received messages from all over including people he went to kindergarten with. it's also sinking in that he will forever be a part of the capitals' history in terms of the game 7 overtime winner that he scored. as for the uproar over the racist tweets, here are ward's thoughts. >> i don't let it bother me at all. it's a few people that just made a couple of terrible comments. and what can you do? i know what i signed up for. i'm a black guy playing a predominantly white sport. it's just going to come with the territory. i feel naive or foolish to think that it doesn't exist. it is what it is. and you know, it's going to be part of it here and part of life. and that's just what it is. >> if i'm going to read what people said about me, you know, and you guys, i don't know, it may be something new for him. but just don't listen what people say, good things or bad things. you just have to concentrate. >> leave it to ovie to bring some levity to the situation. game 1 in new york saturday afternoon at 3:00 right here on your hockey station, nbc 4. game 2 monday night, also in the big apple. on the nbc sports network. then back to verizon center wednesday night and saturday afternoon for games 3 and 4. game 5 if necessary will be in new york on monday may 7th. dates and times for games 6 and 7 yet to be determined. why now? that's probably what the wizards were asking themselves when they were cleaning up their lockers this morning. the season is over. the wizards are playing their best basketball of the year. they end with this six-game winning streak after thrashing the miami heat last night in their season finale. interim head coach randy wittman met the media today and asked what it was like taking over at mid-season. >> i hate it. don't ever want to do it again. there are so many different things. in trying to -- obviously, if there's a change. things aren't going well. now you're trying to figure out how you're going to change what's not going well when you were part of it. >> we had crazy things happen, injury, you know. we finished like a team. we worked hard. the atmosphere in the locker room is so good, you know. and we're going to have a full season next season. so i feel good. we're happy. >> nene. all right. it's a huge sports day tomorrow. capitals open up their playoff series against the rangers. rg3 introduced at fedex field. bryce harper makes his major league debut. and local guy seth mayhem mitchell takes another step toward a heavyweight title. mitchell the former mvp mitch state football player weighed in today for his fight with chaz witherspoon. mitchell puts his undefeated record on the line in atlantic city tomorrow night. this is one of the few big-time fights you will see between two college drajts. h graduates. chaz witherspoon had a 3.8 in high school and studied pharmaceutical engineering in college. >> very cool. stay out of their way. thank you, dan after 27 years on display at the national air and space museum in washington the space shuttle "enterprise" has arrived at its new home in new york city. the shuttle left dulles airport this morning on the back of that boeing 747. take a look. the retired shuttle made the historic low-altitude flight over new york's iconic landmarks and bridges. atlanta to jfk, where it will stay until june. the shuttle will then move to its new home at the intrepid sea, air, and space museum in manhattan. hey, we did it first, nyc. >> that's right. >> good call. one more check on our weather to see if doug's changed his mind. >> no. out there right now looks like a nice evening tonight. enjoy it tonight but just wear the jacket. tomorrow you'll need the jackets and probably the umbrellas. most of you will stay in the 50s all day tomorrow with a high of about 60 in the district. expect the rain to come in late in the afternoon, but it will mostly be in the shower variety. heaviest rain will be probably between, say, 7:00 and 10:00 tomorrow night. then next week looking much better. we will get warmer with highs near 80 by wednesday and maybe the mid up toer 80s as we head into next thursday. and sunday looking great. yesterday was drop date at the massachusetts institute of technology. it's called drop date because it's the last day of the term students can drop classes without penalty. and m.i.t. students have a way they like to celebrate drop date in the spring. they push an old unrepairable piano from the roof of a six-story dorm called baker house. there's even a special name for the unit of volume created by the crashing piano. they call it a bruno in honor of the student who conceived of piano drop 40 years ago. i guess you have to go to m.i.t. to understand what all that means. spectators often take pieces of the broken piano as souvenirs. and astronaut catherine coleman, an m.i.t. alum, even took a piano key with her. you just can't get enough of that, can you? >> no. >> even took a piano key -- >> it's not quite the shuttle "discovery" but it's their version. >> it was my best day when i went to m.i.t. i really enjoyed it. >> princeton and m.i.t. >> my master's in -- >> have a great weekend, everybody.
