If you love this weekend, for the most part youll be seeing throughout the week what spectacular weather were getting. Cooler temperatures though do arrive for the weekend and wait until you see the numbers on the seven day and first tomorrow, columbus day and the weather having a low impact on the day and travel the most important thing, youll need the sunglasses and outdoor exercise and gorgeous, saw so many people running out on their bikes today and you might want to have long sleeves or a light jacket especially earlier in the day.

Follow me on facebook and twitter as we track the potential for fog. A low temperature in washington of 52 degrees and the suburbs will dip into the 40s. So its definitely going to be a chilly to cold start tomorrow morning and it will warm up nicely, very similar to today and temperatures in the mid60s and you can shed a jacket at that point and 3 00, the temperature at 75 and that will be our high of the day and 7 00 p.

We head down to atlanta to hear this is the xfinity sportsdesk brought to you by xfinity, your home for the most live sports. You know, was there that time i almost won the lottery and there was a time that we almost won that game today. They were this close. Yes. Yes. I thought they were going to pull it off and in the end it just wasnt their game. No one gave the redskins much of a chance to win this game against atlanta and that didnt matter once they kicked off because the skins came ready to play and they also caught a few brakes and theyre hoping to put the win or have a postseason or winning record in october for the First Time Since 2011. However, a very late mistake by kirk cousins doomed this Football Team and they have one of six undefeated teams 40 and the redskins trying to change that and the Fourth Quarter now, skins now 127 and kirk cousins going deep for rashad ross. Thats pass interference on Robert Alfred to set up this touchdown run by the rookie runningback. Matt jones from yards out and the skins take a 1312 lead. Former skins offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan calling plays for atlanta now and matt ryan picked off by rashad of the skins and a nice little return here and it looks like we can possibly go the distance if you picked up one more block and it was the 28yard return and the redskins are up 1612 and the falcons came right back. Davonte freeman had himself a game and 153 yards on the ground and the falcons go up late 1916 and cousins, the redskins try to tie this game under 20 seconds remaining and cousins dropping back and nice pass here to pierre gar gashing garcon and bs on Dustin Hopkins and he missed a threeyard field goal and ties the game and we are tied at 19 and headed to overtime and in o. T. , cousins. This, the back breaker picked off by atlanta, Robert Alfred and 59 yards for the gamewinning touchdown right there and falcons, they beat the redskins in overtime and 2519 with more from atlanta, heres our very own Carol Maloney. Just to force overtime felt like a victory today, but to lose in sudden death with an interception return for a touchdown, agonizing. Skins, they felt like they gave up a w today, but nobody blamed the guy who threw that pick kirk cousins. It was right after the game and told him, just keep your head up and our division is want out of reach and either one will be tough. Bee have to just find that mentality and everybody is thinking about making a game changer. We know when its perfect and not perfect and we have to feel each other out with tough catches and tough plays to drive moving and the offense and the team is upbeat. We still have a chance and still apart in the end there and it just wasnt our day to day and im so part of it and just fighting just the last few weeks and overcoming turnovers and overcoming penalties and not giving up. I felt like i wasnt good enough with those throws and there was nowhere to point except to myself that i have to make those throws, and i can make those throws and i believe i will over the long haul, but today i left too many out there. Bouncing back from this, cousins says it should be easy and its the story of his life, but at two and three, they cant let any more get away. Carol maloney, news 4 sports.
