but right now anything but warm. 44 here with north to northwest winds at 10 miles per hour. the good news with that is we are no longer seeing wind gusts to 25 miles an hour last hour. that made the wind chill even cooler. 39 in winchester, 43 in culpepper, annapolis and krofton coming in at 45 degrees. 36 in leaseberg, down to the freezing mark in winchester, 44 in fredericksburg. it is a chilly evening as our storm system moved on by. that's it for the rain for us but back to the west, a completely different story. this is a monster storm in the denver area. they're expecting one to two feet of snow, upwards of 50 miles an hour winds. they already reported upward of 10 inches south and east of denver, too. this is is a big one for them. there this is a classic type of

snowstorm, snow to the north and severe weather to the south. this is looking more and more potent for our area. it's not going to be anything like this is out there but we'll have to watch it closely. here comes that next storm and i do think now that there could be enough cold air that some of us could see some snowflakes overnight saturday night into the day on sunday. this is still a very tough forecast. we're still watching this one very, very closely but right now it does not look like we're going to see a whole lot from this but i do expect to see some rain and now maybe some snow. stay tuned. clear skies, much cooler, seasonably mild. 30 to 36 degrees when you wake up tomorrow morning. tomorrow afternoon a high temperature of about 52 degrees, 48 on saturday, 44 on sunday, watching out for that possible rain/snow mix in some areas. as we look on toward next week,

just drive dry and a weather's boring time. >> you might even put a coat on. >> that's not happening. >> all right. >> coming up next in sports as we head back to indy, are the giants in

back out to indianapolis we go. what's going on now, guys? >> it's hard to believe that this is the last real practice for the patriots and giants before the super bowl. tomorrow just a walk through. >> i'm thrilled it's the last real practice because it really is time to get it on, right, and just play some football? >> yeah, yeah. but it doesn't seem like we've been here for four or five days. but it does seem like we've been talking about rob gronkowski

getting healthy. >> when we all know he's going to play today, right? >> he did practice today in a limited way. on the giants side, they are trying to get under tom brady's skin. might not be an easy task for thee guys. he had a subpar season by hit standard. and the gianpierre-paul may be overconfident. he says he was feeling phantom pressure and throwing the ball into the ground. needless to say brady was asked to respond to those comments this morning. >> dithink i was holding the ball too long? they have some blitz schemes that are a bit challenging to handle. you know, i think as a quarterback you can't sit back there and think that you're going to have all day to throw the ball. you've got to be able to find guys quickly and get the ball to them. to get it into the hands of wes

and deon and aaron and gronk and the running backs with a good catch to allow them to get in the defense, we've been stressing that a lot last couple of weeks. >> tom brady not seeming too flustered. th the giants are going to continue to try to get him off his game. we're trying to figure off if mike shanahan will be successful with the redskins. so far things have not gone right. we caught one a guy on radio row who might know mike shanahan better than anybody. that's the former linebacker for the denver broncos, bill rome now ski. a little bit of a wild man but shanahan loved this guy. we asked romo if shanahan could be successful with this redskins team. >> you got to have players. he won in denver because he had good football players.

and there's going to be a cycle and it's happening in washington right now where the cycle is they don't have, you north carolina the great players that you need to win on a consistent basis. and i think ultimately you got to have a great quarterback. they don't have that right now. >> yup, they don't. but guess what? peyton manning has been cleared by his doctor who did his neck fusion surgery, cleared to go back and play in the nfl. >> the redskins do not need one more behind his prime superstar athlete who might have three good games left in him. >> you're right. i would love to see him not end up in washington. >> to baseball now, edwin jackson a very good starting pitcher now a member of your washington nationals. they signed him to a one-year contract today. he is very solid, 12-9 last

season with an era of 1.79. the nationals will have one of the strongest starting rotations in baseball. jackson will reportedly be the nation's highest paid pitcher, earning between $8 million and $12 million next year. >> college basketball, virginia tech taking on duke. fans at castle coliseum in blacksburg looking for a bright spot in what has been an ugly season. first half tech down by 3. victor outside the paint, dunking it home. later tech down by 9. robert brown drives and the shot doesn't go but davila. rivers with game high 18. later on it's the freshman again. this time turning it over. tech going the other way. eric green to robert brown but mason plumly trailing on the play, get that stuff outta here, he says.

15-point lead and that would be the deference in the game. duke wins 75-60. virginia tech now 1-6 in the acc this season. that will do it from here. indianapolis starting to get a little chilly. i think we need to get off this riser. >> it is a little chilly. it's try to play some football and go inside the stadium. >> i'm getting pumped up. >> let's go. >> two more days before the game. what else is coming up? what's tomorrow? >> we've driven race cars. >> giant donuts? >> you need to do that zip line. >> yeah. >> let me say this, please, y'all read my lips. we are not doing a zip line, okay? it's not going to happen.

all right. well, congratulations. in a minute it will be friday! and that is our broadcast. you made it. >> we're looking forward to it. the "tonight show" is next. good night.
