prayer service to ever take place at the national cathedral. >> there is nothing more christian, there is nothing more muslim and definitely nothing more american than praying together. >> reporter: worshippers from five muslim groups completed friday prayers. >> this prayer marks a historic moment for the american muslim community, a community filled with hard working and productive members of this society that unfortunately have suffered from negative stereotypes. >> i think it really symbolizes how far we have come. >> thanks and glory. >> reporter: the south african ambassador offered the sermon, condemning islamic extremism. a protester briefly interrupted the start of the service. to critics, leaders of the episcopal cathedral say this is a house of prayer for all people. new at 6:00 tonight, we'll hear from people who don't think the cathedral should welcome muslim worshippers. in the district, kristin wright, news4. >> we have asked you to weigh

in. do you support the national cathedral's symbolic gesture to host a muslim prayer service? your vote on social media and by phone. here's a look at the results of our poll so far. 59% say they do support it. now at 5:00 tonight, parents sound off. a local school district wants an exception to state law so it can ch the school bus ride. why the district says it's justified. and is writing a check safer than swiping your credit car consumer reporter erika gonzales answers your questions about safe and secure holiday shopping. next.

all this week, we have been showing ways to stay safe and secure while you holiday shop from online sites to the front lines inside the stores. >> consumer reporter erika gonzales joins us to answer your lingering questions. >> to black friday bargains, we have shown all week how to shop smart for the holidays. and you have responded through facebook, through twitter, e-mail and over the phone. so here are four of the most asked questions, with answers, from the top. ted on facebook asked, when swiping a debit card, are you safer selecting debit or credit at the register? credit.com says the short answer, it doesn't really matter which you choose if you're using a debit card, the same protections from the retailer and banks are in place, whether you choose debit or credit when using that debit card. next question. mark in maryland called in wondering, do i get a pin number

with my new credit card that has a chip, like they do in europe? credit card.com says not necessarily. most chip cards from american banks are actually chip and signature cards, meaning you sign for purchases rather than entering a pin. mike in arlington tweeted, can prepaid cards affect your credit score? we asked the experts at "consumer reports" they tell us no. prepaid credit card companies do not report to the credit bureaus and the cards are not tied to your credit history. if you're looking to build a good credit history, consider a secured credit card. with that, you can make a deposit and get a line of credit for that same amount. and from carol lynn on facebook. she asks, how secure is writing a check as a form of payment instead of a credit ? credit cards.com says there is a risk when writing checks. if a criminal gets hold of your bank account number, then it's your money being stolen. so if choosing between credit cards and a check, the experts say a credit card offers more protection from fraud and data

breaches. you can watch all of our stories on our website, nbcwashington.com, and keep your questions coming. happy shopping, everyone. jim, wendy? >> all right. thanks, erika. >> doug joins us now. sounding fit as a fiddle and ready for the next storm, right? >> it's just a shock to the symptom out there. >> it is. >> it's a little bit like yikes. >> and if it's yikes today -- it's yikes-yikes on tuesday. >> yikes squared. >> because we -- that's exactly right, wendy. it is going to get colder than it is today. first off, well, if this doesn't get you into the winter spirit, how about this. this is what i'm waiting for. take a look at this, guys. this is toward colorado. this is snowshoe, west virginia. they picked up about 5 inches of snow yesterday. they have been making snow for the past couple of weeks. and they actually predict one of their earliest openings in the last decade that they are officially opening on the 26th. so they will be open for thanksgiving weekend. how about that? yeah, they've been cold, they have been getting some snow, and boy, i'll tell you, skiing

conditions are going to be pretty good early this season. 40 degrees the current temperature outside our area right now. and that does feel much more like a winter situation for sure. winds out of the northwest at 12 miles per hour. and that makes it feel even colder. look at the wind chills. 34 in d.c. 26 -- the wind chill, 26 in leesburg. 24 in winchester. 28 towards the culpeper area. so again, a very cold evening. if you're out tonight, it's friday. everybody has got to be out and about somewhere. make sure you bundle up. nothing on the radar. as we look at the wider view here, one thing you notice. notice all the snow, first off, still snowing down around the snowshoe area. cloud cover down there. lake-effect snow coming in towards pennsylvania, cleveland. they have seen a pretty good amount in that area. that is the pattern. that northwesterly flow, that's making its way right across our region. that's what's going to keept wind chill up tonight. also the reason why we're so cold early tomorrow morning. take a look. feels-like temperature, these are the wind chills around 11:00 tonight. 28 in d.c. 23 in leesburg. 24 in winchester.

23 in manassas. tomorrow morning, waking up, stepping out the door, wind chills in the low to mid 20s. veronica johnson and i have been looking at the wind chills for tomorrow, but vj, wind chills could even be colder next week. >> right. it feels like christmas, right? but no presents. so what's bigger than yikes, zoinks? you can put an exclamation mark behind it. temperatures in the 40s. we have been tracking the cold, in the 40s today but even lower readings the early part of next week. so here we go. let me show you the cold air that's moving in. this is a look at saturday doing okay. we'll be in the mid 40s. by the time we get to the second part of the weekend, close to 50 degrees. more cold air dropping south. this is the next wave. and then by the early part of next week, it starts easing to the east. high temperatures on wednesday only in the 30s. so tuesday and wednesday, mighty cold. zoinks kind of air covering a good chunk of the nation. doug?

>> i did not know that zoinks is bigger than yikes. you learn something every day. tomorrow, no yikes at all. tomorrow morning, cold, but tomorrow afternoon breezy conditions early but the afternoon the breeze begins to calm. so mostly sunny skies tomorrow afternoon. say between 1:00 and 4:00. not all that bad. but still will be chilly. temperatures about 10 to 15 degrees below average tomorrow. so the impact forecast, especially early on the moderate side. a lot of soccer games and flag football games tomorrow. on the chilly side, but not as wind chilled as during the day today. next couple days, how about sunday. sunday, the best day of the next seven. this is the great reason why. 50 degrees, with temperatures, sunshine, not a lot of wind. and that's great news if you're heading out to the redskins game, as we take on tampa bay. we don't like it cold. they don't like it cold at all. hopefully that works in our favor. chilly, 3:00, temperatures around 50 degrees. kickoff around 1:00 in the afternoon. it will be cool if youe going out to tailgate. but not bad at all for a game if

you're in the shade, though, you're going to probably need those -- not only the blankets, but need those -- maybe the hoodies, as well. 48 degrees on monday. that's when our next storm system moves by. right now the storm should move west. and that means all rain for the most part. it may end in some snow in some areas as the colder air comes in. and that's what we're talking about. next tuesday and wednesday, the real cold moves in. 36 for a high on tuesday. next tuesday, i think our wind chills will stay in the low to mid 20s all afternoon. we're talking very cold and very windy. low temperatures. these are in the city. 26 on wednesday. 29 on thursday. that means some of you in the suburbs will be in the teens when you wake up in the middle of next week. >> whoa. all right. thank you, doug. >> zoinks. getting an early start on the season, santa ditched his reindeer, opting for metro today in virginia. take a look. santa rode the new silver line with metro gm, richard sarles and a couple dozen children at tyson's corner. he knows where to shop. transit officials say it's a

good option this holiday season to avoid the parking lot crowds. along with discounts, riders can also use new $5 same-day delivery service to get their goods home. and if you have ever spent a winter here in d.c., you know a little snow can bring the streets to a stand still. we're going to see if the it a a secret service red this blunder. one agent was on a personal cell phone call when a white house jumper headed for the front door. we're going live, next, for more on the fallout tonight.

here's correspondent peter alexander. >> reporter: good evening. a homeland security official called this a harsh report, intended to identify problems that need fixing. this report says that nearly everything that could have gone wrong that night did. a comedy of errors in the words of the house republican. so after barging through the front doors, knocking a female secret service officer to the ground, the fence-jumper, according to the report, walked past the officer who accidentally grabbed a flashlight instead of her baton before pulling out her gun. this fence-jumper ignored commands to stopped, walked into the east room and turned around

and where he was eventually tackled by an officer in the center hallway. the armed counter assault team didn't immediately enter the mansion, because they were unfamiliar with the layout of the white house and waited to get into a tactical formation before going on. an officer with an attack dog missed the radio calls, because he had taken his earpiece out, according to the report, was sitting in his van on a personal call. he only noticed the jumper after seeing another officer chasing him. this afternoon, peter king of the house homeland security committee told nbc news, when you're protecting the president, there are no time-outs. the secret service says it's changed its training and procedures. joseph clancy is expected to testify at a house oversight hearing. wendy, that's scheduled for next week. >> all right. peter alexander, thanks. abysmally and offensive low. that's how a member from hyattsville, maryland, described voter turnout. and that's why he said they

should lower the voting age from 18 to 16. it would only apply to municipal races like city council and mayor. he believes in engaging young people may improve turnout. the issue could come up for discussion next month. he pleaded not guilty, but there is some pretty strong evidence now against the man who abducted a woman. we'll tell you why the man who is also facing attempted murder charges in virginia ended up in court in philadelphia first. and there is a new tribute in place to honor that woodbridge teenager murdered close to his school. >> reporter: i'm jackie bensen in loudoun county. imagine having to hand your kids one of these to ride the school bus.

a campus tragedy. >> it was heartbreaking. >> a university suspends all fraternities and sororities after the death of a student. how the school community moves on from here after this unprecedented action. abduction caught on camera. the man accused of violently snatching a woman off the streets of philly and bringing her to maryland makes a new move today in court. and a redskins fan's final wish goes viral after years of highs and lows, his last request of this team comes in his obituary. free school bus rides could become a thing of the past for one of the biggest districts in our region. >> it is against the law now to

charge students to ride a school bus in virginia. but as jackie bensen reports, loudoun county is trying to change that. she is live in leesburg. jackie. >> reporter: wendy, this sounds hard to believe. but it could happen. the big yellow bus ride could require students to use a fare card if the loudoun county school board's request is approved by the state legislature. under current virginia law, school systems are not required to provide bus transportation, if they do, it must be free. the idea of charging for a ride that has long been taken for granted by parents is being met with some consternation. >> it's a public school. and we are already paying taxes. . >> we pay for quite a bit these days. and so, you know, the more -- i know we need to build more schools. but for some basic day-to-day activities like getting to school, it would be nice if that was provided. >> reporter: what's driving the

school board's desire to be able to charge for bus transportation is loudoun county's growth. a growth that includes lots of children and the pressing need for more and bigger schools. the county has faced budget shortfalls between 30 and $40 million in recent years, and school board members say it's no longer a choice of when to cut the budget, but where. coming up on news4 at 6:00, we'll hear from the vice chair of the county school board. she will talk about the difficult, difficult debate that went into this decision. live in leesburg, jackie bensen, news4. don't expect to see one neighborhood bank teller on the job anymore. this man is now charged with stealing more than $30,000 from the vault at the columbia bank in rockville. he was a teller. police say it came to investigate last week when a bank manager noticed thousands of dollars missing from the vault and they found it in this teller's cash drawer. he is now out on bond tonight. breaking news in the murder of a woodbridge teenager.

pat lawson muse at the live desk with new details just coming in. pat? >> yes, jim. a manhunt is over in virginia after a deadly shooting just feet from a high school earlier this week. police in prince william county told us deion moses just turned himself in. a judge allowed us to release his name, even though he's under age. brendan wilson was shot and killed monday. the suspected triggerman was out on bond at the time of the shooting and was supposed to be wearing a monitoring bracelet at the time. there is a memorial service for brendan in woodbridge tonight. jim? >> that's right, pat. meanwhile in just about a half hour, family and friends will gather to pay their final respects to the local teenager murdered near his high school. police discovered brendan shot to death in a wooded area known as "the cut" between woodbridge high school and a neighborhood. tonight he'll be laid to rest after funeral services. a new sign will also go up in the cut with a photo of wilson, and the words "brendan's path."

the chilling surveillance video of that woman being abducted on that philadelphia street has been seen across the countr but the man accused of kidnapping carlesha freeland gaither and holding her hostage pled not guilty today. george spencer from our sister station in philly was in the courtroom. >> standing in his green prison jumpsuit before a judge for the first time since his formal indictment yesterday, delvin barnes also mumbled his not guilty plea. he will be held without bail, awaiting trial, a condition the federal prosecutor believes was essential. . he's clearly, by the facts of this case, a danger to the community. and his exposure in terms of his sentence is significant. so he would be a risk of flight. >> reporter: barnes' publicly appointed defense attorney did not try to convince the judge her client deserved pretrial release. prosecutors said there were no circumstances under which barnes could be safely released.

after all, they argued, he has no immediate family in the philadelphia area. he faces life in prison, plus he was already on probation and being sought in an unrelated crime when he kidnapped his 22-year-old victim, a stranger off this germantown street, locking her in his trunk for some of the time. >> there was a period of time during her abduction where she was forced to remain in the trunk. and she was also restrained. >> that was george spencer reporting. barnes is also charged in the abduction and attempted murder of a 16-year-old girl in virginia. but the fbi and the u.s. attorney want him tried for the pennsylvania abduction first. greek life shut down at a major university. a freshman student now dead. coming up, his last tweet, and where police are focusing their investigation. the national children's museum back to d.c. we'll tell you why it's leaving national harbor, just after being there for two years. and the part of the job jay

the same weather system is bringing these chilly temps to our area created icy conditions of the a semi carrying potatoes wound up on its side after sliding on the ice. no injuries. well, let's get the word on our weather. we have a colder half of this weekend wind, doug. >> a colder half saturday. tomorrow waking up will be a cold start because it's already cold, and this is friday evening. if you're heading out tonight, the coldest night so far that we have seen this year. take a look, at least this season. 38 degrees by 7:00 tonight. dropping to about 36 by 9:00 and 34 by 11:00. we're still dealing with rather breezy conditions. so our wind chills currently in

many locations are already into the 20s. take a look at these numbers that we're dealing with out there across our area. right now, 36 in rockville. 34 in leesburg. 34 in dulles. so we will get the freezing very quickly over the next couple hours. 37 degrees camp springs and 36 degrees out towards bowie. you know it's going to be a very cold night tonight and very cold start to your saturday. nothing in our immediate area, but there are a few light snow showers moving in through parts of the area. these are lake effect snow showers, believe it or not. they'll move on through. don't expect anything. don't be surprised to see a flurry or two. especially north of the d.c. metro area, maybe frederick county, montgomery county. but we're not expecting much. you can see those showers making their way down from the great lakes. the great lakes very warm this time of year. so it takes -- it does not take nearly as much cold air to produce those lake-effect snows. that's why they make their way down our area. low temperatures tonight, 31 degrees in d.c. the first freeze at the airport, if we officially get below freezing. 27 leesburg. 26 in martinsburg. 27 in fredericksburg.

so it will be a very cold start to your saturday. high temperatures, though, rebounding somewhat. so a cold start, but after about 11:00, 12:00, with plenty of sunshine, tomorrow is going to be a cold day. and if this was january, it would be a beautiful winter afternoon. but this is november. so it will be quite cool. temperatures in the low to mid 40s. exercise impact on your , 9:00 a.m., 36 degrees. 11:00 a.m., 41. up to that 45 degree mark. early in the morning is definitely going to be on the chilly side. so make sure the kids have on the coat and the soccer game during the day. 50 degrees on sunday, looking good for the redskins game. no problem there. 48 on monday. rain moves in on monday. it will be a cold rain with a high of only 48. staying in towards the -- changing over, rather, to snow late. no accumulation. don't worry about that. but what it will really bring in is even colder air. we're going tore a high temperature next tuesday of only 36 degrees. the wind chill, i think, next tuesday, could be around 28 in the city, and that is in the middle of the afternoon. guys? >> all right. thank you, doug. well, while many of you may

not be ready for this winter weather, d.c. crews already have a game plan in place once the snow starts falling this season. this year, they're not just clearing the streets for cars, but for bicyclists too. and as news4's mark segraves tells us now, there is one big thing the district leaders are worried about. >> reporter: bill holland, director of d.c.'s department of public works, has been overseeing snow removal here for more than a decade. he knows even a little snow can bring d.c. to a standstill. holland says d.c.'s ready for winter. >> we're very prepared. every year we make improvements from the previous year and we feel really good. we felt we had a great year last year and we feel like we'll have a better year this year. >> reporter: one of the improvements this year will help pedestrians. >> we've got sidewalk plows for the bridges. >> reporter: and there's good news for cyclists too. >> we have a crew dedicated to do bike lanes. and we have a special crew that's detailed to do those cycle tracks so we can clear those, as well. >> that will be nice.

>> reporter: d.c. isn't the only jurisdiction looking for bikes and pedestrians this winter. arlington county plans to plow its mixed use trails for the first time. while district officials say they're ready for anything, their biggest concern is this. whether or not they'll have enough salt for this winter. >> last year around the beginning of march, just about everyone was running out of salt. we're concerned about that this year, because we don't think the suppliers have stocked up again. so we had a comparable winter this year, there could be trouble. >> reporter: so how is d.c. going to deal with the possible salt shortage? >> we are going to hoard as much as we possibly can. >> reporter: in the district, mark segraves, news4. well, tomorrow is the start of open enrollment for anyone who needs to sign up for health insurance under the affordable care act. dore gentzler joins us to tell

us what you need to know when it comes to signing up for albuquerque. >> last year, websites didn't work, there was trouble signing up, it was rough for a lost lot of people and government agencies, as well. but with lots of lessons learned over the past 12 months, officials say they hope for a much smoother second try. so far, more than 10 million adults have gotten insurance under the affordable care act, hoping to decrease the number of uninsured by 26%. this year officials are hoping that number grows even bigger when the 2015 enrollment period opens tomorrow. and it will stay open until february 15th. but they're also urging people not to wait until the last minute. in order to get coverage by january 1st, you have to sign up by december 15th. to qualify for financial assistance to help cover the cost of premiums, individuals have to earn between 16 and $47,000 a year. if you earn less than that and live in the district of maryland, well then you'll qualify for medicaid. but in virginia, one of 23

states that didn't expand medicaid coverage, you won't be eligible for any subsidies. for those who don't enroll and who don't have any health insurance coverage, penalties will increase next year. $325 or up to 2% of the household income, whichever is the larger amount. in maryland, one of the states plagued by enrollment problems last year, they have retooled their website. it's been up and running for a few days now. and so far no reports of problems. for more information on where to sign up, go to our website, nbcwashington.com. >> thanks, doreen. they have been fasting outside the white house for nearly two weeks now, and today they got the attention of some lawmakers. the group is called dreamer moms. they're calling for executive action from the president on immigration. something he's promised. today two democratic members of congress visited the group. one woman who has been there since day one says she's trying to bring attention to pain and
