No pun intended. Tomorrow . Tomorrow more of the same, so if you liked today, then youre going to like thomas well, just a few more clouds and ill show you why in just a second. Lets take a look outside with our brand new weather cam, this is a brand new hd shot we have here and its coming all the way from crystal city but were taking a look at the Capitol Building and right now it is cloudy, over dca, 42 degrees that dew point down in the 20s right now and thats giving us or sorry, the dew point has crept up into the low 30s but that dry atmosphere, youre probably noticing it, you feel a little bit more dried out like you need more water than normal and thats the reason, so as we head into sunday, it will still be cool, a few more clouds as we head into the day because theres a coastal storm that remains offshore. Its not going to bring us any rain, but you definitely will have filtered sunshine as opposed to that bright sunshine that we had during the day today. Still going to be nice for the redskins game. Well have that redskins forecast in just a minute as we head into monday, the nice weather continues but then some showers are in the forecast for tuesday. Right now it is already down to 34 degrees in leesburg, 37 in culpepper, 48 still in annapolis, so much warmer along the water and this is the time of the year where the bay helps to keep things warmer so well see that pretty often i think over the next couple of months. Satellite and radar shows that high cloud cover streaming in, so it is a lot of cloud cover but its very thin and thats why where not expecting any precipitation from it. Theres just not enough water in those clouds so as we head through the overnight hours the closer you are to the coastline the more cloud cover you will see west of the belt way well have clear skies leading to this big difference in overnight low temperatures. 30 in the outlying suburbs but 40 degrees downtown with northeast winds at 10 Miles Per Hour, partly cloudy, cool but nice tomorrow morning temperatures in the 30s and 40s and wind out of the northeast at 10 Miles Per Hour, wind picks up a little bit in the afternoon but still not too bad. 4954 for your afternoon high so it is a little bit on the chilly side. We should be getting into the upper 50s this time of the year and in the zone 52 in winchester, 52 in mantegna, a little bit cooler and cloudier as were looking at the shoreline, 53 in easton and cambridge, 52 in georgetown under a good deck of cloud cover and 54 in d. C. And at Andrews Air Force base and if you are heading out to the big eagles redskins game, 5054 for your temperatures, northeast winds 1015 Miles Per Hour partly sunny but pleasant. Youll need the jacket. Over the next three days going code green with a chance for showers on tuesday but just a weak disturbance approaching. In fact i think some areas around the belt way will stay completely dry on tuesday but do keep in mind we have that threat for a shower. You can see the temperatures remain in the mid 50s throughout the next three days as well and as we take a look at that seven day forecast, that big travel preview day wednesday looks great. It will be partly cloudy high of 54 and thanksgiving even better and 60 on thanksgiving day with lots of sunshine so if youre staying in town youll like it and friday looks good too, great shopping weather i guess, actually this weather is so nice that you might want to hold off on that trip to the stores and just enjoy the beautiful weather and 62 and mostly sunny skies.

Past participants say its a program that opens doors to brighter futures. In the program i started when it first started and i met Willis Thomas and its a good experience. Like we got to travel the world a lot, do different tournaments, meet different people. It helped mature, become responsible, understand that if theres more to the world than just southeast and that i could make it, i could be a success and that i didnt need to do the wrong thing in order to make it in life. Theyve had an impact on everything in my life. I dont think i would have been able to go to school, boarding school, college, and now law school. Washington tenants and Education Foundation helps more than 1000 students every year. Wonderful. Ive been a tennis player my whole life. Those are some of the best memories so thats really awesome. Great. How did things go . It was a pretty okay day. It wasnt 100 great but it was okay. [laughter] its a mild way to put it. Crazy day in college football. Actually maryland closed out the season at home and tech heads to overtime and wvu nearly pulls off the upset. Ill have highlights coming up plus a look at the redskins final prep for philly, sports is next. Oh, its been one crazy year for the maryland terapins. Granted they did surpass last seasons two wins but they lost four quarterbacks and a rash of serious injuries hampered the terms all season long so today they wanted to send their seniors out on a high note, hosting Florida State in hair home finale, beautiful sight there. Ec manual here with a park to rashad green for 30yards, Florida State goes up 270. Now here is a good play, shawn petty, a line backer turned quarterback, running around hits kevin dorsey, keeping it going there, one of two touchdowns for the senior receiver nice treat for him. Now james milder junior almost falls but keeps his balance 22 yard touchdown run and fsu wins this one 4114. Senior day here at college park, a con nine of a lot of emotions, on the last run for 17 veterans a promising season going south because of catastrophic injuries and add on top of that rumors that maryland could be hopping to the big 10. Its a lot to digest. For what this team has been through so far, theyre out there battling and we cant control all those things that have taken place. Shows support of us and we go out there every day and just work hard for the fans. Rumors going around that maryland may be going to the big 10 next year. How do you feel about that when you hear that . Ian acc fan, ive played in the accbeing and i want to stay in the acc. Wherever they go well follow them. Theres no doubt that were on the right direction and right path and doing the right things and kids want to be a part of what were doing and i think thats the biggest thing and well be okay. There were talks with the big 10 conference and that news didnt make very many terps fans happy. Major roadblock as we know athletics dealing with financial problems and exit fee is 50 million. In the acc, Virginia Tech at boston college, frank bemer keeping the hopes of a bowl alive, logan thomas fires to the back of the end zone, randall dunn with a great tow tap, for the defense, stops the eagles fourth and 11, stops short of the first down and escapes a 3023 win. Texas state paying a visit to annapolis, picking it up in the fourth, gigi green with the stutter steps, watch the effort to get into the end zone. Just keeps going, mid shipment win it 2110. Here was an exciting game watching tonight, West Virginia trying to avoid a five game losing streak, another wild one, this seven yard touchdown and fields has six scores on the day, they go on to score again with 24 seconds left topping them out near 5049. Is the only nba team yet to win a game many are calling them the oshing wizards because they have no ws. In fact after tonight the wizards have become the second team in nba history with consecutive 0 and 8 starts. Wizards hosting utah jazz tonight, starting the game off pretty well and there were more fouls than points this season putting the wiz up 110 but the jazz fight back up two in the second, mo williams gets the steal from crawford and then hayward brings it home and they go on to win 8376. Wiz arts fall to 0 8. D. C. United better news there, its going to take some serious focus, united must beat the houston dynamo tomorrow night by at least two goals. Dcu is riding a 17 game win streak. As the redskins prep for sundays match up against philadelphia, its hard not to look past that game. This games play three straight divisional games including two in a five day span. Despite being three and six the skins havent given up hope just yet. They have a better chance at winning tomorrow with mike vick on the sidelines but they struggled against rockies qbs in years past, thats why they arent even thinking about whats coming up after that. They are focused on their next must win game. Kind of puts us in a playoff situation, every game is like a must win if you want to see the post season so we are definitely taking a different approach for these next few games. I feel like its the only thing on my mind and these players minds. We have to take care of what we can handle and control so its the only thing that we have on our minds and thats the way i look at it. Its going to be an interesting game tomorrow. Of course well have a complete wrap up of that game on tomorrow night. They cant lose to a rookie quarterback can they . [laughter] you cant say it. We did that against the panthers. They cant lose against the panthers. See you tomorrow. They cant lose
