detector in that home. switching gears right now, hail to the redskins, washington snapped the two game losing streak. of course, it's a win against the philadelphia eagles, exciting stuff, frank hanrahan with us. >> they had to have this one. >> yeah. >> it was a little nerve wracking, a little bit of a sweat, but in the end the redskin pulled out a victory 27- 22 at philadelphia. redskins led by five, but the eagles were threatening to steal this one away. play of the game, 21 seconds to take a sack from philadelphia, but the show stopper ryan kerrigan comes up with the strich sack, fumble and the ball game -- strip sack, fumble and the ballgame down. another tight game, but it's a w with the redskins. >> helps that they've had a couple so they know how to react and how to respond and this guy stepping up making plays and not blinking. it was a great game, tough place to play here, but i think they'll watch us respond in crucial situational football type things, overcoming adversity. they got the lead, we got it back and holding it was big time to watch. >> >> we have much more on the victory coming up in sports. >> they needed this. >> i think all the fan did, too. we're happy. >> talk to you in sports. i bet you didn today's redskins/eagles match- up actually helped some of d.c.'s homeless people. stephanie ramirez says a local fraternity use those

access day to help children with autism and their families enjoy the museum. to make the experience more comfortable, the museum reduced the sound in some galleries, provided sensory maps and story guides and even offered a quiet room. >> we've never been to the science museum and i felt it would be a little bit too much. i knew it was going to have friendly staff and a few less people and toned down l pieces and it really makes a huge difference for us to be able to navigate it happily as a family. >> admission today was free. the spy museum also provided free breakfast and a spy souvenir to all visiting families. many of you probably bundled up today and tomorrow you'll have to do it again. howard bernstein is going to tell us how long we can expect these low, low temperatures. >> plus

church hillary lane, wusa9. >> target doesn't know when they'll have hatchimals in stock again, but they say you can buy a get card that assures you can pick up the toy in january. kids won't like that. some parts of our area saw a dusting of snow this morning, this video taken video journalist stewy mullen. we'll look at more pictures like this midweek, right, howard? i'm not as concerned about wednesday as next saturday morning. it's almost christmas actually, a couple weeks away now here. >> true. >> weatherwise we have some concerns well north and west of washington toward the overnight, early morning hours on monday. officially the last advisory goes until 10 a.m. unless it's canceled earlier. these are freezing rain advisories west of the blue ridge into the mountains and also frederick, carroll, northern baltimore conditions, a light glaze, slick roads and sidewalks. the ground is cold today. right now we're looking at temperatures still only at the freezing mark in win chest, culpeper culpeper 32, michael and son weather cam, the capital wheel at national harbor looking good this sunday evening, 39 feeling like 33, but with a south, southeasterly wind at 8 it's trying to bring in milder air. it's cold at the surface. dew point is 25. we've got some dryness going on. if it were to start to rain, it would start to evaporate and cool off. this is the battle that's going on as this storm system which drops about 4 to 6 inches of snow in chicago, so far 6 to 8- inch totals in grand rapids. they may get a couple, 3 more inches before this thing pulls away. the snow stays well to our north. the problem for us is that there's moisture moving in. some of that into kentucky and southern ohio is headed our way over the cold about to surface. there could be a several hour period of freezing rain and that is like the most dangerous sort of weather we could have. by 11:30, ce the snow in rain and some of that extends into martinsburg. we'll see if any of that can extend down into northern virginia as well. by tomorrow morning we'll have rain around. so yellow alert, plan for a slow commute on monday morning. midmorning still rain and by lunchtime most of us have lied out except for southern -- dried out except for southern maryland and the lower eastern shore with some sun developing tomorrow afternoon, about 50. as far as how much ice and this is one of the more aggressive models i've looked, maybe 1/8 of an inch in martinsburg. it's not going to be a major event, but with ice you don't need a lot. so if you have early plans on monday, you might want to delay them or give yourself a lot of extra time. cloudy and cold tonight, rain developing late, 29 to 39, night see temperatures rise a bit toward mog. raw, early ice, early afternoon sunshine coming back, milder, low 50s. three-day forecast, tuesday 48, isolated rain or snow shower, wednesday partly to mostly cloudy, some flurries at night, really cold air coming down, in the 20s,

skins to keep their playoff hopes alive at philadelphia. they're going to win this one, you're starting to look towards next year. redskins down 13-7, kirk cousins, big throw to desean jackson and he gets into the house, redskins 14-13. 4th quarter skins down, 2nd and 6, shovel pass chris thompson from the 25 and he is into the end zone, touchdown. redskins go back up. they don't get the two-point conversion. they're up five. eagles last chance 2nd and 10. quarterback carson lynch for philly sacked by ryan kerrigan and this baby is over. skins win in a squeaker, 27-22. our kristen berset has more from philadelphia. >> reporter: well, today's up and down roller coaster of a representative of how the season has been all along for the burgundy and gold. every week is a new adventure, but after two straight losses the redskins knew that their playoff hopes could be affected by today's outcome. >> we had to win this game first before we think or talk about playoffs. i think we done a great job this year taking care of 1 game at a time and not looking forward or looking ahead of ourselves. >> even though it was a great team win we still got three more games left for the season and no game is going to be easy. it's going to be basically a playoff game these next three weeks. >> we're still rolling. we've got carolina, the reigning mvp and cam newton coming to town, give us all something to be excited about. we still have a lot of work to do. >> reporter: so another season sweep of the eagles by the burgundy and gold and their the season. in philadelphia kristen berset, wusa9. got to love football, steelers and bills in buffalo. if you had le'veon bell in fantasy, today was a good yard. steelers take a 14-0 lead. 3rd quarter steelers up 14-7 and he literally walks into the end zone, 236 yards on the ground, three touchdowns. steelers roll 27-20. browns/bengals, a penalty, too many men on the field. andy dalton finds tyler eifert. cincy takes the lead. this isn't good on the flea flicker, griffin throwing into triple coverage, never ends good, picked off. guess what. cleveland is 0-13 knocking at capitals having a good but not great season, but let's be honest. it's all about what they do in the playoffs, got to get there, but they will. mice on the ice star wars style, love it. yoda going up against darth. caps looking good early. caps lead 1-0 after two periods of play. a little college hoops virginia tech hosting ole miss, tight game, late the hockey hokies -- hokies lead with 20 points, final count 80-75, but the good news, redskins playoff hopes are still very much alive. >> i did find us watching the football gave that we had in the snow. i think that's the way it should be played every week. >> okay, guys, sure. let's talk about the snow and the weather. >> we've got a little ice possibly well north and northern maryland, make down toward percy video, minimum chester. -- percyville, winchester. friday just in the mid-20s and then a wintery mess of rain saturday, could be a problem on saturday morning. it's one of those things you have to watch closely. >> thank you so much in my future, i'm twice as likely to have a stroke. i'm at higher risk for depression. i'm 26% more likely to develop an irregular heartbeat. i have a 65% higher chance of developing diabetes. these diseases can be managed or prevented
