The first snap belonged to mccoy. Griffin prepared to be his backup. Gruden says he knows rg3 did play better and that signature hymn down right now may help him in the long term. But he added, right now mccoy gives the skins a better chance to win a game and that as long as hes productive, the job is his. Im prepared to give colt every opportunity to keep the job, yes. Thats not an issue for me. If he zshgs hell be the quarterback next week. If he does, hell be the quarterback the following week. But hes an experienced quarterback. Hes got, you know, some games under his belt in the nfl. He has a little bit more experience than the other two guys have here. And, you know, he plays like it.

Travel has been smooth for those headed to the midwest and west coast. Rough going for a lot of people today. A lot of folks now worrying about tomorrow morning. Wanting to get out of town tomorrow morning or maybe get out runs and all that kind of stuff. Thats the concern. Some of this could be changing to ice overnight. We dont know if its going to be a huge issue. If you run into some of the areas that do have ice, that could cause problems. Lets take you a couple of areas. One of those places, how about north carolina. Just over the border of West Virginia. Just south of blacksburg. Picked up four inches of snow there. That snowmaking its way up towards the virginia area, wf, maryland and pennsylvania. And thats obviously great news for the ski resorts.

This is near carol valley earlier. Liberty mountains web cam is up and running. And Snowshoe Mountain kicked off their area today. They were sitting at 9 inches of snow as of 1 00 in afternoon. How about that . Yep. Get your skis ready. Its almost that time of year. Snowfall totals around our region very close to what we had last night. Almost all rain down towards the south. Again, it doesnt matter too much there. Less than an inch around the d. C. Metro area. Prince georges county and stafford area and in that ench was only on the grassy surfaces. The roads, no problem here. One to three inches back to the west around ashburn, leesburg, this is where did he wwe did see some of the roads covered. The snow came down fairly heavily. Covered everything. And then as began to wayne a little bit, we did see that melting on the roadways. Back to the west, three to nine inches. I had three to six here yesterday. Mentioned we could see more. So some good snows back near towards the mountains. The snow is out of here. Temperatures have gone up the last couple of hours. 37 degrees right now. Wind out of the north at 9 miles per hour. I mentioned the temperatures going up. They were at 34 degrees last hour in manassas and leesburg. The temperatures do tend to go up a little bit before falling back down. They will fall back down to around freezing. Thats what the concern tonight. So overnight tonight ending the snow and rain ending by 8 00. Icy patches tomorrow morning. Use caution for sure, especially in the areas where did you see the snow on the roadways later this evening. Now what were going to see on the radar, a few showers remaining. These are very light rain and snow showers coming through. Really nothing of consequence. A few along i95. Some down waldorf and bathesda. Just very light shower activity there. That is our one storm moving off. You can see how it affected the i95 corridor. Traveling throughout northeast over the next 24 hours, going to be a bit of a mess. Heres the next storm making its way through the st. Louis region now. That wunl dip our way during the day tomorrow and yes, thanks giving. Could see a shor or a stray shower as well. So 39 degrees on your friday for black friday. A cold one there. Saturday and sunday, temperatures warming. 46 degrees on saturday. 58 on sunday. 65 degrees on monday.

One of those is Washington Convention center. Mark seager is there now with more on this. Mark . Jim, youre right. There will be a huge sendoff for the former mayor, marion barry three days as you said that will culminate here at the walter Washington Convention center with a four hour Memorial Service. You actually have to go back to Walter Washingtons funeral and another funeral that was also held here at the Convention Center to find anything that will compare to what is being planned for barry. Marion barry will be remembered by many as a larger than life civil rights lead eastern politician. After lying in repose for 24 hours at the Wilson Building beginning next thursday morning, friday morning his body will be removed in a public procession from the Wilson Building to the temple of praise church in southeast. That procession will pass through all eight wards. Similar to the funer procession for former mayor Walter Washington in 2003. After a day of services at temple of praise friday, there will be a public viewing and Memorial Service saturday at the Washington Convention center. The same place the godfather of gogo chuck browns Memorial Service was held. We initially talked about the service being four hours. Thats probably the interim. While there are many people that want to speak at barrys funeral, it will be barry who decided who gets to speak. After a brush with death several months ago, barry gave his family specific instructions on how his services should be planned. He pretty much gave a outline of what he would like to see at his home going. The sstss will reflect barrys work here and in the district in the civil rights movement. One of the things that mrs. Barry and christopher are trying to reflect and show is that incredible life of the mayor for life marion barry jr. Now we hope to know by early next week the exact route and road closures for that funeral procession that will be friday morning after rush hour. We also hope to know how much all this will cost and whos going to pay for it. Reporting live from the walter Washington Convention center, mark seegraves, news 4.

Valerie jackson sees where some good might come from benching redskins quarterback rg3 this sunday. It is a little harsh. Sitting him down for a minute so he can see how the team can play and maybe we can win this game would help him a lot. But being a dallas cowboy fan, i love it. I think rg3 is a great quarterback. I think offensive line, like he said, theyre not protectsing him. Theres a lot of discussion on social media and talk radio saying that rg3 is basically done. The diehard fans we spoke to here in this county are not only loyal to the team, theyre loyal to rg3. Honestly, i feel like they should give him a chance to bla. They brought him back too soon anyway. Thats my belief. But im not going to say it wasnt, you know. He needs more time to heal . I think. So. No matter the reason for this dismal season, many like this man says the teams problems cannot be pinned on one man. Theyre not playing together as a team. So you cant put it on just him. So theyre going to get rid of him, they need to get rid of the coaches, the linemen, the linebacker. It takes 15 to win. It takes a team. Now many are wondering what is next to be Robert Griffin iii remain a redskin . I wish they let him play the rev of the season to play himself into the quarterback position or out of the position.

Sunday really looking like a great day. And then we get to monday with a High Temperature of 65. So were going in the right direction. And then we come right back down. Next tuesday and wednesday, back into the 40s. And tuesday right now looks like there could be at least a chance for some more rain or snow. Not a big event. Nothing like what weve seen during the day to day. But something well continue to watch right here from the storm center. Guys, back to you. Thanks, doug. 14 years now volunteers have been serving free thanksgiving meals at the Convention Center here in d. C. Its called the safeway feeflt of sharing. They feed over 5,000 people every year. We were there. Yes. That was Amelia Siegel and also erica gonzalez. They were among the hundreds of people who volunteered there today. We have a lot more news coming up tonight on nightly news. A look now at what Brian Williams is working on. Coming up tonight, the great get away is under way. And Mother Nature is playing a big bad role. A truly heart warming story of thanksgiving as a heart recipient meets the donors family. Well have that for you tonight and the Airline Captain that told folks to prepare for pushoff and takeoff only he ment they all had to get out to do the pushing off. That and more when we join you tonight on this thanksgiving eve. Wow. And right here, diana has the word on this craziness out at the park. Quarterback carousel we go. Its in constant motion. Rg3 benched. Has he gotten worse since jay gruden took over the team . The head coach hard pressed to give us an answer. Stay right h we always have some of the most fun on this team. What a day at redskins park. Right before the holiday, too. We have something to talk about while eating turkey. We have lots to talk about. Lots to argue about. Yes, lots to argue about. Well argue about that in a minute. He looks sad though. Im sure he is. All right. The clock was ticking. And now its for Robert Griffin iii. The last time woen a game for the redskins was last yearen on november 3 and after two of his worst performances of his career. Rg3 is now the redskins backup. Do you think that hes better or worse now since youve been his coach . Better or worse . Well id like to think hes gotten better as far as a passer is concerned. Some of the things ive asked him to do, i think hes better. It hasnt shown on the field. I think its shown in the meeting room. Its shown on the practice field from time to time. But hes not at the stage yet where he is a starter for us right now. Im not going to give up on him. Hes not going to give up on himself. As far as the future is concerned, we dont know. All right. So what makes colt the right decision then . He says hes confident in the grasp of the offense and shown in practice that he deserve this is opportunity. He says mccoy will be given every opportunity to hold on to the job for the final five games. Mccoy for his part tried to just separate himself from the drama. This is a significant decision for our team. I understand that. And you know moving forward just want to go out there and play the best i can and, you know, im doing my best to make my focus, my approach one day at a time. Not worried about the things going on around me. None of the distractions. Im staying in my three foot world and, you know, thats the way im going to deep approaching it. All right. So we know the quarterbacks were told about the team changes yesterday. To date entire team was informed by jay gruden. Recently manufacture the redskins had been critical of rg3s performance or lack thereof. Although some want this, benching robert for the second time in two years was a bit shocking today. It was surprising. And, you know, i have no control over it. Its a business day in and day out. Of course, gruden is the head coach. Whatever decision he makes, we all support. Every time you see the starting quarterback go down, you are like, man, it sucks being in that position. Hopefully i hope he goes in there and does what he is supposed to and what he can do. Colt announced he was the starter. Some of the guys were just like okay, we have to keep going. Hes proving himself with the one game under his belt. He played that monday night a couple weeks ago. All right. All the right answers, right . Theyre going to all support the guy under center right now. But really, the big question and i dont know if any of us know the answer is robert give riffii going to be around next season . I dont think so. I saw him go down and his teammates didnt come and help him up. And you saw it happen. And that speaks volumes as far as im concerned. But thats not what this is about though. Yeah. This is a team decision. Yeah. Hes not able to run this offense right now as simple as they made it to help him understand, if he cant even do that, thou are they supposed to grow as a team . Look at all their weapons, jim. I know. Zooe. Desean jackson, jordan reid, alfred norris. Im thinking that i know colt can get me the ball. Robert hasnt been able to do it f colt can give me the ball, im running it. But why not kirk cousins . You would rather have colt mccoy . Colt beat the cowboys for one thing. That is enough. Why not make kirk cousins the backup . Kirk kuz continues throw the ball to jackson. This is a conversation that will be going at every thanksgiving day table.

So they practice early yesterday. But he is in the lineup. And he is going for his 700th career game in new york. I love that stash. It looks good. He doesnt have that anymore.
