errors. >> those are steps that help the housing market recover. the benefits to the very institutions themselves are enormous. >> the deal doesn't do enough. it sounds good on paper. it's really false. this covers 10% of the mortgages in the country. >> the amount of the settlement could grow. in washington, nicole colins, fox news. the republican candidates are making speeches in the

mild day. it's friday and we'll have a nice afternoon. the clouds will move in and things take a turn towards the wintry later on tonight. it's a weird shift. >> well, the 50s will play into the forecast. the thinking is, we won't be cold enough to transition over to snow. really, that warm temperature will be fine. >> let's get to it and the question mark, weekend snow? how about a weekend mix. that will be mostly tomorrow and right now, we're not thinking we'll get a lot in the way of accumulating snow. the temperatures will be too warm. sunshine is starting and clouds are moving quickly and there after. you can feel the moisture to the south and the west. that is combining to create the low pressure off of the coast. that's something we haven't had a chance to talk about. we've been fortunate, if you don't like winter storms, we haven't had much of that. this is sliding off towards the north and east. at the same time, we have a cold front towards chicago. exactly, how all of the parts come together will determine the weather we'll get. right now, we're thinking rain transitioning into the wintry mix and daytime hours. we could have light accumulations north and south of the city. right now, 33 degrees. cold start to the day and heading up to dulles. rain showers tonight transitioning to the wintry mix. temperatures plummet late in the day tomorrow and tomorrow night. check out the daytime high sunday. 33 degrees and it will be windy. one of the coldest days, really in the past month by sunday afternoon. >> all right. >> we'll prepare. >> thanks, sir. julie has a look at the roads. all right, good morning to you. right now, we have our hands full with this tractor trailer. since then, they were in the process of moving that flat bed out of the roadway. that's what they've done. you can see the cab portion of it. it's now moved to the side street. there's a tow truck on the scene. the roadway has been reopened. for a while, it's been shut down. now, we have traffic moving once again. coming southbound on 29, expect the delays to leave on rundale road. that's the check of the traffic. all right, thank you. dave ross is here. a roadblock for the caps and rumors about peyton manning? >> tony, it's a subject we love to talk about. let me ask you, are you intrigued by peyton manning coming to washington, d.c. possibly? >> i'm torn, i know our history bringing in the mcnabbs and the -- haynesworths. sanders. it doesn't usually pan out, but it's peyton manning. >> that's the point, if you can get this guy. the deal is, he's property of the colts. they have a decision to make if they'll keep him or cut him. they'll free themselves of $28 million a bonus. then, he'll be a free agent. i think he'll be the most coveted free agent. he'll be 36 when he plays next year, yes, he's had 3 surgeries for his neck, and everyone says, this is not a quarter back away, this is not just another quarter back, this is a quarter back that makes the wide receivers better that are average. this offensive line will be better. he gets rid of the ball quickly. people are saying, he can coach. mike did it with oleway. another aging quarter back at the time. he's done this recipe for the past. i don't see why they can't win big with pate ton here and soon -- payton here and soon. that's the key here, we're not 100% sure, his bill of health. if he's given a clean bill of health, i would say, take a look and i would make a strong play. >> number one, shouldn't it mean something, the colts -- >> he is the colt. shouldn't it mean something if they say, i know, it's about money. we love you and we don't believe in you any more. >> the difference that philadelphia did with reed and mcnabb, they believed that con --donovan was done. i think that the colts are looking at luck, he's the next peyton manning, they see. they want to plug him in for the next 15 years. their concern is the neck. i think with the andrew luck situation, that's why they're willing to part with him. >> tony, we'll get ready for the play offs. last night, an important game. this is a game they should win, they said. look all of the while, it's scoreless. look at that. this is a pretty pass. here comes simmons. goal there. 2-0! he scores twice in 12 seconds. matthew has to get this one to extend the game. it's going to be stoned. and the caps lose the heart breaker. they're tied with florida. if they don't win the division, they may not make it to the play offs. here's the rematch, it's on. >> it is? >> i was trying to surprise you guys, but lamont will be here to discuss this in las vegas. i say, road trip. >> yeah! >> yeah, good stuff. >> thank you. >> that's exciting news. home butted -- home brewed coffee makers are being recalled. also, the birth control bill fights on. and we're jazzing it up this morning. the united states air force band is deeing up for big -- are gearing up for big stars. we'll even get a

lawyer representing the network. a consumer alert if you brew coffee at home. more than a million single cup coffee makers are being recalled. the consumer product safety commission says there have been 140 reported incidents and 27 cases of 2nd degree burn. it can burst while brewing. well, that would not be pleasant. >> not a good way to start the day. fun in the sun got more legal in california. an update on a football and frisbee ban in budges there. and -- and today, some contenders are going to make their pitch for the white house. this is a brand-new book. just came out. >>
