Kind of makes me feel a little unsecured coming around here. Reporter detectives are asking for your help in locating the gunman. The Sheriffs Office says the man poses a threat to the community, armed and considered extremely dangerous. He has no com pungs whatsoever about shooting people.

He fully intended to do just that if he fired on her and shot her in the head. Its really traumatizing. Im going to go home and definitely will pray for her and her family and wish her the best.

Mainly clear skies into the evening, but as i mention, a few clouds are starting to push through. Current conditions at Reagan National airport shows were still sitting in the 60s, after a high in the middle 60s earlier on today. Weve predominantly kept our winds out of the west and the southwest for the most part and thats been adding to these milder temperatures. Winds will calm down overnight. As the front comes through, things will start to shift. In fact, well see more of a northerly wind flow and its going to make a difference in our temperatures for tomorrow. In the meantime, enjoy it while weve got it, sitting in the upper 50s to near 60 degrees, mainly south of town. Were starting to slide into some more chillier temperatures overnight tonight. Regionwide, hasnt been too bad, even into the early evening hours. Things will be chilly overnight tonight. As the front moves through, some of this moisture will come across the dc metro area, but i think most of the sprinkles and showers will stay well north of the beltway for the overnight hours. Heres how were looking. Tonights temperatures will slide out of the 40s, into the 30s. Everybody, though, for the most part stays above freezing as we get to the Early Morning hours. With the moisture close to us, some of that cool air could give us a few flurries early in the morning, but most of us will be in the clear. Tonight, were down into the 30s. Were starting off on the chilly side, if youre heading out for sunday services. Also, dont forget to adjust your clock tonight as we spring forward. Future cast does offer a little bit of a pop mainly after midnight, mainly north of the beltway and then into the Early Morning hours. We start out with cloud cover, but look at tomorrow afternoon.

Tomorrows high should make it around 50 degrees for most of us. 40s off towards the north. Next stretch looks pretty good. Green weather alert for the next three days. Were definitely seeing a big dose of sunshine on our sunday forecast. Well pull in clouds late in the day, but overnight sunday into monday, we become mostly cloudy. Then mondays temperatures, with a southwesterly wind flow, were back to 60 degrees by monday afternoon. We start off the work week nice, but clouds start to move in on tuesday. Still a good temperature day on tuesday, but widening out to the sevenday forecast, the data watch will be wednesday. Thats the next rain maker coming on through. I think most of us will have a very chilly, cold, damp, raw day on wednesday. But as we get into the Early Morning hours on thursday, we could see a few flurries, as temperatures dip down into the lower 30s and upper 20s. Stick that word in there, you had to, didnt you .

Georgetown has 17 so any way you slice this thing, the hoyas are on the bubble. They could use a win today at villanova. Second half, Dvauntes Smith rivera says im going to earn it down the middle. He had it going on on the offensive end, but georgetowns problem was on the defensive end and trying to stop darrun hilliard. Okay.
