"d.c., events get canceled due to five minutes of light snow that doesn't even stick." yeah, i agree, but we know how people drive, so can you really blame them for cancelling. "the only thing that terrifies d.c. residents more than nuclear war is snow. i will never stop being amused by this." maybe that's the weapon the russians will turn to next when they want to affect things in the nation's capital. they'll just send some snow our way. >> d.c. drivers are no worse than anywhere else in country. everyone kind of freaks out with snow, just kind of human nature. i don't know. the good news we'll be above freezing. we're looking at 40s tomorrow and maybe we make 50 sunday. let's start with the 3-degree guarantee. good thing i lowered this last night. i should probably lower tomorrow's number, but i'm not going to. i went 34. it was only 31 today. really all the little flakes that fell today stuck. everybody stayed below freezing about all day. i'm going 46 tomorrow, hope i shouldn't go 45. we'll go 46 tomorrow. right now it's 26, the low so far today. dew points in the low 20s, winds south, southwest at 7, only 7 miles an hour, but they'll pick up tomorrow and become breezy and give us a little wind chill actually. chilly saturday in the 40s, wind chill in the 30s, a bit chilly sunday for the game, 46 to maybe 50. mild for most of next week, just a few showers, no big storms next week. you might even hit 60 on tuesday and might even hit 60 on thursday, which is the first day of winter. we'll see. 7 a.m. we're below freezing, freder downtown, but by 10:00 everybody is above freezing now, even 36 in romney and cumberland. wait till 9:00 or 10:00, you'll have nothing to worry about in terms of black ice, 37 in la plata and fredburg. by 1:00 maybe 43 downtown, 45 fredericksburg, 41 in hagerstown, 43 in bethesda. by 6 p.m. we're upper 30s, low 40s. so maybe saturday night is your date night. it will be cold but not that brutal really, 37 in manassas at 6:00 and winchester, still 40 in cumberland and romney. by this time tomorrow night we're back in the 30s, but you know what? tomorrow night most folks will hold above freezing. certainly downtown you will. maybe in manassas and culpeper you slip into the low 30s, but more than anything we'll hold above freezing tomorrow. you mentioned the winds. okay, a little bit of wind. by noon wind chills in the 30s, 36 in leesburg and manassas and ge 4:00, 3:00 wind chills so just a little bit below average tomorrow, but all in all for mid-december really a pretty nice day. so overnight partly cloudy, cold, a few slick spots, 18 to 28. i did have to lower the temperatures a little bit, winds west, southwest at 10. by morning partly cloudy, cold, 18 to 42, winds in check, but by afternoon partly cloudy, breezy, chilly, 43 to 48, winds southwest at 10 to 15. on the day planner upper 20s, low 30s to start, 38 by 11 11 -- 11:00, up to 43 by 1:00. sunday in pretty good shape, near 50. 54 and milder on monday. tuesday 60, maybe a shower, but who cares for 60? a little correction on wednesday. we're back in the upper 40s, but then we're back in the low 50s on thursday, a shower full day of winter next friday, boom, 60 with sunshine. right now a behind the scenes preview of tonight's late show with stephen colbert. think silence of the lambs. >> hey, everybody. join me on the late show tonight i am joined by the great jodie foster. together we're going to match wits and catch a killer. >> stephen is putting the lotion in the basket. he's on deck as soon as we wrap up the news be but we've got more to talk about. >> weather looks decent if you're thinking about seeing the redskins on sunday. here's some more good news according to stubhub, seats for this weekend's game against the cardinals are selling for as little as six bucks a seat. it's the upper deck, but hey, it's in the building, right? six bucks for a ticket? we're all about bringing you perspective on the news at 11:00. that is cheaper than having a cold one once parking, the beer and then the ticket is the order of most to least expensive. >> and then you'll need to bring kleenex. >> because you'll be crying. >> nose bleeding and the crying, too, i guess. you going to go? >> probably not. >> i may go. >> for nine bucks i could sit home with a six-pack. >> hang out. redskins/cardinals on sunday. yeah, the tickets are cheap, "what if" more of the energy we used came from renewable resources?
