expected right into the evening rush there around areas like buoy, calvert beach, could be a little wet. so, again, the next couple days more clouds than clear skies around the area. we're at 51 degrees in montgomery county tomorrow. 52 in d.c. folks around mclean, fairfax, a high of 52 degrees. culpeper, fredericksburg, stafford, to 53 degrees for a high temperature tomorrow. here's a look at your storm team four-day forecast. from the low to mid 50s the next two days, to getting up to a high temperature of 61 degrees on thursday. in fact, that high temperature on thursday, 61. that will be the warmest temperature going back to about 14 days prior. but tuesday and wednesday again, lots of clouds with the possibility of someorning sprinkles and maybe a passing shower. then as we get into the end of the week on friday, temperature 57 degrees. now friday is a day right now that is looking like it's going

to be pretty soggy. we've got rain for the morning rush, for the evening rush. and there could be some locations that get more than an inch-and-a-half of rain. these are the areas in purple. winchester, gaithersburg toward baltimore. what i like, though, as we head into the weekend, guys, that rain should be ending. we'll be clearing out and hitting a high temperature on saturday of 46 degrees. right now, saturday is looking like our best day out of the weekend with maybe a little more rain returning sunday. so put your coats away for at least a little bit. >> okay. we will. thanks, veronica. the wizards do something they haven't done in more than four years. dianna is next. ♪ getting cozy. ♪ shopping for gifts online. ♪ the perfect way to get into the spirit any time. ♪

guys. the nats had to give up steve lom ber dozy and ray. he was the ultimate utility man who filled in at every position. the 25-year-old howard county native hit .264 with 5 home runs and 50 rbis in two-plus season with the nats. he will be missed. we won't be talking about changes to the washington redskins roster just yet. with four games left, mike shanahan says this isn't the time to make end game evaluations. the best are going oh to play, and they won't be experimenting with young players. >> players know when you're playing for the future. players know that, you know, your job is to play the best players. give you the best chance to win. i think there's a number of guys very close. they're close. are they there yet? if you're going to put a guy in that's close, you're not playing the best player. then what you've told your football team, you are evaluating these young guys.

and you're, you know -- you really don't care about the game. if you want to see a team turn on you, just go start playing younger players. and start playing for the future. >> all right. so yes. >> they don't need that now. >> they don't exactly -- that reaction. >> they kind of do. >> they do. but they are going to try to finish strong here. but they are -- we would be foolish to think they're not rethinking next season. but, of course, the wizards getting that nice win. 98-80 over orlando. yes. a good one for them. >> thanks.
