it looks like winter is trying to battle back. dolls it will make a grief -- doug: it will make grief comeback through the weekend. but all things considered we are in nice shape. we are still in 60's. charlottesville is 60 degrees. we are in the low 60's in the metro area. the clouds are increasing and the winds continue to increase out of the southeast. that is how we warmed up with the warm temperatures. the winds 14 to 18 miles per hour around the area. later tonight the winds will shift to the west. that is a cold front that is going to cause that. at this hour it is still 68 in charlottestown. the cold front is about there. moving in our direction. it will bring rain tonight. gusty winds with it. by the time you wake up tomorrow morning the rain will be out of here. we will just have a windy and a chillier day for the day on wednesday. a lot more about this and the weekend and a chance of snow by friday morning. yeah, really. in a few minutes. michelle: something you can smile about here, this just into the a

the redskins. just minutes after the nfl's 4:00 p.m. deadline, the team has officially said they are tagging kirk cousins as a franchise player. jonathan: yea! michelle: robert burton is here now with a look at what it means for the quarterback and the team. this is big. robert: yeah. round of applause, by the way? [applause] it's payday for cousins for a season. redskins placed nonexclusive franchise tag on the quarterback. how about this? last season cousins was making $660,000 a year. the franchise tag is worth almost $20 million. hello! cousins had a break-out season in 2015. he set the single season record for passing yards while throwing for 29 touchdowns leading the redskins to the n.f.c. east crown. now, here is what the nonexclusive tag is. the redskins lockdown kirk for a year. they have until july 15 to work out a long-term deal. however, this gives another team the opportunity to sign cousins to a long-term deal. the skins have the right to match that offer. but if they don't they will receive two first ron

10,000 potholes. thus far we have received over 800 requests. and so i suspect that especially with the blizzard and the road conditions being impacted by that through the moisture, we will probably fill close to that as well. jeanette: a couple of things you should keep in mind. there will be crews throughout the county working on the potholes so make sure you are aware of them and try to avoid them and slow down once you are getting close. the second thing is if you see a pothole in your neighborhood you want fixed call 311 and they will try to get to it as soon as possible. reporting in prince george's county, i'm jeanette reyes, abc7 news. michelle: when it comes to metro, there is no paper, just plastic. beginning this sunday the fare gates at metro stations will only accept smart trip cards, rendering paper cards useless. if you have a paper fare card you can transfer the value to a smarttrip card using the brown vending machines at the station. jon

gallows road we have a slowing. 395, in the teens now. no crashes on the interstates. i'm happy to report that. volume, yes. but sun glare, it is a factor this afternoon so keep that in mind. that is a look at traffic. back to you. michelle: looking good. thank you, jamie. "modern family" star ariel winter is opening up about life after breast reduction surgery and the troubling childhood she overcame. we watched her grow up on screen from an 11-year-old girl to an 18-year-old woman over seven seasons on the hit abc comedy. last year, she decided to undergro breast reduction surgery from 32f to 32d. >> i had wanted to get a breast reduction since i developed, because i was in excruciating pain. i couldn't sit up straight. it was super uncomfortable for me to sleep and sit. uncomfortable to walk. i remember breaking down in dressing rooms because i couldn't find a bathing suit. they had no top that fit me. i didn't feel right and i did

martinsburg to winchester. 70 right now in charlottesville. and once again with the winds out of the southeast, look how much cooler it is. in the mid-50's along the river. as far as what is happening tonight, we will see the temperatures hold steady through the midnight hour. we'll see an area of rain develop from a cold front to come through. kind of blow through the area and be gone by sunrise. a fast mover but we will get strong winds behind the front. they are southeast now and they will turn westerly overnight and become windy. here comes the cold front on the satellite and radar. we are in the partly sunny skies east of the appalachians. but this is the line, with the downpours and area of thunder, too. it will blow through tonight and move through at a good pace. by early tomorrow morning it will be windy and we will see clearing skies. by midnight it should make a move through the area. by 4:30, it's out of here. gusty winds and sunshine and gusty winds thr

thursday night and friday it looks as though the little system could pass by and give us light snow. tomorrow, partly cloudy and windy. we will be 50 at midday but fall through the remainder of the afternoon. then we have a 40% chance of snow moving through overnight, early friday. that should taper off. maybe a dusting to an inch or two in the gasry areas. a -- in the grassry areas but check out tuesday. 70. michelle: that makes up for it. jonathan: it makes you happy. doug: you bet. jonathan: coming up for us at 4:00 -- >> the water kept constantly coming above the window. looked like well were in an aquarium. jonathan: weeks after being battered by a massive storm find out why the same cruise ship is coming back to port early yet again. >> six months after a young child is found clinging to her mother's lifeless body in this town ho
