Its a fraud, its a fraud, its a fraud. And later, a holiday warning from oprah herself. How shes trying to stop some grinches from stealing your money this christmas. Good day at 9a starts now. Good day, good day, good day. [ laughter ] d. C. Hey listen it is friday the last friday before christmas. The last good day before christmas. December 22nd gangs is owl here. All right. Ready to role. Its such a big show this morning were putting up the good day guest list right off the top because coming up this morning were getting wowed in the loft with mtv host nick cannon and star Justina Valentine a little bit later nashville store with hometown ties will join us live with special performance of his holiday hits. So looking so locking forward to that. Its going to be good. First at 9 00 lets talk about the weather. Because its not going to feel much like christmas the next two days. Which is good news for the holiday get away right but some big changes are on the way. Tucker is back with a first check on the forecast. Hey, tuck. Allison thank you. Lets start with today. No issues today. Rain in the forecast tomorrow. So if youre traveling locally in fact most of the country will be pretty quiet later this afternoon. Lets get right to it and the warming trend will start today. Yesterday we were in the mid 40s today back in the mid 50s so it should be very pleasant afternoon and again were looking at partly sunny skies later today. I know weve got clouds out early this morning. Here are your current numbers. 40 now at Reagan National thats a jump of a couple of degrees from an hour ago. 38 dulles and bwi marshall. Later this afternoon with little bit of sunshine and daytime highs in the mid 50s should feel pretty good. Snow to the warm front thats warm front lifting through upstate new york. Bringing snow no new york and new england and freezing rain northern pennsylvania thats really the only boston, new york, philly, here in d. C. , baltimore, down towards atlanta well be nice and quiet. If youre hitting the roadways later this morning or this afternoon nice and quiet. I do want to mention if youll on the roads tomorrow there will be rain in the forecast. Well talk more about that and talk about what we can expect Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and long rain shear the potential for winter storm the end of next week. A lot of weather to talk about. Lets be concerned with today. 56 degrees and a pleasant afternoon. Thats all you need to know for today. All right, guys. See in you a opinion. All right. Thanks tucker. Well, 9 03 and like we said, Mother Nature wont be an issue for the tens of thousands of people heading out over the river and through the woods to make it home for the holidays. But you will have to deal with some big crowds. Airports across the nation and here at home theyve been packed this morning and in fact more people plan to night this Holiday Season than ever before. If youre head hitting the roads expect plenty of brake lights. Melanie alnwick is bracing the crowds at joins us live with what you need to know before you head out this morning. Mel, has it pick up since we check in with you . Reporter you know surprisingly its been great. You mentioned the roads. 97 Million People will be traveling the roads this year. About 6 Million People will be hitting the skies. But take look at it is here at Reagan National airport. 9 00 oclock in the morning and still almost no line here at the security checkpoints. Things have been going really really well. They change add couple of rules this year as far as electronics. They want those laptops to come out of the bags and through the screeners but occasionally when they do have the tsa dogs coming through, theyre able to basically sniff out peoples bags and shoes ahead of time. So in those instances you just got to listen to the tsa agents and people are just being able to clear right into the xray machines without having to take off their shoes or taking their laptops out of their bags. So that is really good thing much thats really helped these lines get down in its been a great day so far. We talk a to a lot of people who said they are traveling to warm weather destinations, cruises seem to be very popular. Orlando is the number one destination this year. Anaheim, california after that and of course the usual suspects, right, were tacking about hawaii and the dominican republic, and cancun. But certainly theres also a lot of people who are staying in town. I love this area here. This is the best seat in the house because this is where the rivals. People who are waiting and groating loved ones. And its just a wonderful thing to see here during the holidays. We ran into one group here a group of Three Sisters from fredericksburg, ft. Lauderdale and Virginia Beach and they were waiting to surprise their sister from new hampshire. We cant wait. Weve waited quite awhile to see her. So we decided were going to surprise her. She doesnt know all our sisters here. Were going to surprise her at the airport. We thought wed park in and come in and wait for her. Reporter okay. So well show you the video right now. Of them as they finally greeted her. It was so fun. This is like i said its the best thing of all. Happy hugs, the smiles, it really is what the holidays are all about. And they are all going to travel together to theyre going to travel together down to fredericksburg and spend their holidays there. So we wish them happiest of holidays and we wish all of you the happiest of holidays as well here at Reagan National airport. Were going to send it back to you as i try to put my mike back together. Here we go. [ laughter ] there you go. I got it. [ laughter ] my holiday gift. Right. There you go. Nicely done, melanie. Nicely done. I agree mel. The arrivals at the airport thats i can sit there and watch them all day. Love it, love it, love it. Holiday plans commander in chief will spend the Christmas Holiday at his florida retreat maralago the big question this morning before he leaves will he sign the tax reform big that Congress Passed earlier this week . The president promised that he would sign it into law before christmas as gift to taxpayers. Meanwhile, congress averting another crisis for now. Lawmakers passed the last minute spending bill yesterday that will prevent government shut down. Holly has more on what this includes and what awaits congress when it returns from the holiday break. Holly. Allison, they got it done, right. Just in the nick of time. There wont be a government shut down tonight but in many ways lawmakers are just kind of delaying the pain because january is going to be a rough month. Theres no place like home for the holidays. And dont they know it. The rush for the exits. Members of Congress Getting out of town. In fact, the capitol looked more like an Elementary School at 3 00 oclock a pick up outside with representatives and senators waiting for their drivers to pull around. Mr. Speaker members are advised that these are the last votes expected in the house for the day. The week, the month, and the year. [ applause ] the house and then the senate with almost shocking speed passed a stop gap spending bill to keep cash flowing to the government through jan january 19th. When there will be an even bigger series of issues to confront. January is now the new december. December was supposed to be this big month here on capitol hill. Christmas won here in washington. Its often said this decision was made by the most powerful people in washington. Not the members of congress. But their spouses. Whatever role spouses may have played to prompt the rush, left undone, Disaster Relief for hurricane ravaged parts of texas, florida and puerto rico. Additional pentagon spending, and an immigration fix for Illegal Immigrants who came here as children. Revisit all of those issues next democrats think they will will be better positioned to get some concessions from republicans. So happy new year. [ laughter ] never dull moment. Thanks so much holly. Before getting his holiday break the president paid a visit to walter reed to honor american heroes. He awarded the purple heart to young military veteran. 25yearold First Lieutenant victor pratt tow from new york.

There might be whole big thing coming around new years. Tucker has got the details about that. Hey, tuck. Good morning, guys. Thats a long way away well touch on it. No need to set off the alarm bells too much at this hour because were still more than week it way from what might be a winter event here kind of a week from today. More on that coming up. Lets concentrate on today first. 40 degrees in washington. Were looking at 30s for most of the area here particularly the west and north 35 in manassas. 38 dulles. 38 in frederick. Leonard to you you jumped to 45 degrees in the past hour. Jumped about 7 degrees. So thats nice. 42 in annapolis. Mild day. Beautiful day for us. Not Beautiful Day but a pleast day for us. Kind of parly sunny this afternoon with at least a little bit of sunshine and temperatures about 10 degrees warmer than yesterday. We should be in the middle 50s. This is a warm front. Been lifting to the north and you can sebringing Winter Weather our way to Northern New England parts of upstate new york, new hampshire, vermont getting the bulk of that action and little bit freeze rain back into northern pennsylvania much this will stay north of us much thats the only travel trouble spot getting out of town here. The big cities are in good shape. I did see philadelphia has half hour flight delay. If youre headed to philadelphia that might be the only issue. Out towards chicago most the country pretty quiet for traveling later today. This is a set up for this afternoon again that warm front. Were on the southern end of it so we will see daytime highs about 10 degrees warmer than yesterday. It should be decent afternoon. Little cool out there but well take 50s this time of year and well be in the low 60s tomorrow. This is a set up for the weekend particularly for saturday. Tomorrow will be cloudy. Toll will be wet. It will be rainy in the afternoon and evening hours. Not going to rain every minute tomorrow afternoon and mild conditions. Temps in the 60s tomorrow. Low 60s tomorrow ahead of that front and get cooler progressively cooler for the day on sunday for Christmas Eve and by sunday night and early monday and a little arctic boundary will come down there may be just enough energy that we squeeze out a few rain showers and or snow showers by early christmas morning. So if youre up early, there may be just enough in the way of seventy two snow shower activity out there to call it a white christmas. Although it will be very close call and anything we do get will be very light. Sort of worse Case Scenario a covering of snow. So i think best chances for that will be north and west. Then it will be chilly Christmas Day with temperatures in the 40s. Theres your Christmas Day forecast. 43. Mentioned the mix and then the sun becoming, well, well see some sun in the afternoon partly sunny heres your seven day. Cold. Thats the really no of next week look at your daytime highs by wednesday and thursday next week only in the low to mid 30s and there are some indications that by friday next week we could stay way too early to call the potential implications with that system but we got to waist carefully by neck friday because some of the computer models are trying to be rather aggressive with it. Ill leave it at that. Ill be here on monday. Well talk more about it on Christmas Day. Back to you guys. Looking forward to it tucker. 9 35 is the time. The sound of the season is here.

Reporter you talk about that being right here in washington because the money collected snay rockville or fairfax stay in those areas. Remain people what programs, what is this money going toward .

Reporter good luck. Thank you chip. Thank you ken. Guys theres a way to go online to donate as well. Good luck help these folks out. Kettle needs a chip reade yes, it does.

You can tell the rock really enjoys your conquer questions and i think it shows in the interview. Hes such a good guy. The interview is coming to close the timer a wrapping me and the rock is like, you know what, i want to you ask me another question. So what youre going see here is the end of our thought we were wrapping up and he goes, no, let me give you werent more question he answered me and gave me amazing answer about how he was as child because in the in many its about four teenagers who are in detention playing jumanji. They get suck into the game and they become the avatar theyre playing the rocks character is in this nerdy teenaged kid stuck in the rocks body. That makes it even better. Jack black is playing 16yearold girl. Heres the rock and i talking at the end of mynd view and him giving me more time. I cant wait to see this. Hes cool. One more question. Can i ask one more. Yes. I love the scenes when the lives reset. Those shots are so cool. Its kind of a two parter only because its a similar question but im curious when they shot the initial shots of you first jumping into jumanji were you on a set just hitting leaves as you fell down . And then secondly when do you come back and have that awesome super hero landing how did that make that look like you fell down and hit the landing and continue in the same so we a camera rig on i love your questins by the way.

In that scene of the movie where theyre the first introduction me as that avatar got to look cool, thats the thing. The more and cool and awesome all of well because it automatically informs people in that moment, wait, thats a scared 16yearold kid and jack, of course, in my opinion for everybody jack black steals this movie.
