30s. this is different. we're talking about 34 degrees for a high tomorrow. and a wind chill that's going to be in the lower 20s. so, yeah, this is the kind of cold you see in the middle of january, not november. and we could actually set some records tomorrow. and i think some of those records will fall pretty quickly. 54 degrees the current number. that's still on the mild side across our area. winds out of the west at about 5 miles per hour. we've got plenty of cloud cover. but most of the rain is out of the region. and it will continue to move on out. down towards southern maryland, where we're still seeing the rain. cold air moving in. 37 petersburg, west virginia. 41 in martinsburg. 58 towards pucatuxent river. here is the shower activity, now coming through right around the beltway, oxon hill, national harbor seeing showers. waldorf, right along 301. we'll zoom in here and show all charles county for the most part seeing showers. these are the lighter side so not much in the way of heavy rain. driving from waldorf toward the

colonial beach area, you continue to see rain. st. mary's county, you too have a bit of rain to go. the bulk of the rain out of here. even some thunderstorm activity just off the coast in through portions of the new jersey coastline. and back to the west, it is the snow. and man, is it coming down in part of the area. they are predicting near 2 to 3 feet of snow around the buffalo area, lake erie. this is a big lake effect snow effect for us. it's just going to be that cold air driving right across our region. and we're not just talking cold. we're talking frigid. look at the current wind chills. here is 5 2 in d.c. 74 in virginia beach. so no wind chill there. look at that number. 6 back towards columbus, ohio. and that is the cold air that's moving in. veronica johnson and i have been looking at these numbers. and vj, when we wake up tomorrow, we talked about a s p shock to the system. we have had one or two. this is going to be different. >> yeah, for sure. folks are going to notice this in a hurry.

first thing tomorrow morning, this is the kind of cold where you really need to prepare. and, again, dress in layers tomorrow. we'll talk about that in a second. take a look at the ratings. tomorrow morning, 8:00 a.m., wind chill temperature, montgomery couy around burtonsville and bethesda at 14 degrees. areas like oakton, this is by 1:30 tomorrow afternoon. not much better. your reading around 19 to 21 degrees. same around vienna. then as we kick it into the evening hours again, we're back down into the teens. and there may be some locations that drop down to the single digits by tomorrow evening. dale city by 6:00 p.m. feeling like around 20 degrees, as well as early wednesday morning. so what to wear, it's the day to dress in layers. we're talking about layers one, two and three. . big coat on top for kids at the bus stop. means a warm coat, gloves and scarf and a hat. you don't want the heat to escape. this is the first one we're getting for real shock to the system. more of that january kind of

air. >> yeah, that's exactly right. that's why we had that impact forecast up along the moderate side. even high for some areas as we will be dealing with that wind of 15 to 25 miles per hour. so not just cold, but windy and cold. and that's -- those cold temperatures will stick around. a high of only 34 on tuesday. the record low maximum, that's the coldest high temperature we have ever seen, is actually 33. so we're close to records there. overnight on wednesday night or wednesday morning, 24 for an overnight low. dulles airport will set a record. bwi, winchester, frederick, they'll be into the teens for overnight lows wednesday morning. high temperature on wednesday still cold at 37. 47 on thursday as we rebound just a bit. but that's ahead of another system. that will drop us back down on friday and saturday. high temperatures in the low 40s. low 40s a lot better than the low 30s. but it's still going to be quite chilly friday and saturday before we really start to break out of this. sunday, a lot better with a high of 54 degrees. most of the day on sunday will be dry, a big system though

moves in sunday night into monday. we'll h the potential for a line of rain sunday night. but monday, we're up near 70. so we're not done with the warmer weather just yet. it's just going to take time to get here. and we've got a couple of extremely cold days ahead of us. guys? >> flip-flop weather. got to give a heads up about a massive construction project in d.c. that's going to make you miserable if you're in one part. starting tomorrow and then for the next six months, a big project in the third street tunnel. third street is going to be closed just north of h for the entire time. you're going to have to take a detour around that site. that work will start at 7:00 in the morning, last through midnight during the wee and on weekends, crews will wrap-up around 8:00 in the evening. d-dot is warning even pedestrians to follow the sidewalk detours and don't enter that work zone. crews are relocating utilities in that area. it's the kind of video that police want to go viral. this is the man responsible for

welcome back to news4 at 5:00. i'm dianna russini at redskins park. i don't have to tell you now, there was an ugly loss the redskins experienced yesterday against tampa bay. but today what everyone is talking about is what robert griffin iii said after the game. he's being criticized for using the word "we" instead of "i" and has many teammates upset today. so i asked jay gruden about robert's comments today. >> first of all, robert needs to understand he needs to worry about himself, number one, and not everybody else. his footwork, his fundamentals, his reads. it's my job to worry about everybody else. >> chris, you heard coach. what are your thoughts? >> i think it's helpful for record. because he's trying to be what everyone expects him to be in the media. i don't think he quite knows exactly what he needs to personify as robert griffin iii in the media. he's saying "i" "we", it's i.

there was way too much "we." and if there is going to be "we" that's between you and the guys in the locker room when you played poorly. >> if you're a player, how would you react? >> it's just a bunch of basic guys, so -- trying to do something epic. >> obviously referencing desean jackson's tweet, saying that, you know, it's hard to do great things with basic people. taking a shot, you know -- gruden said that was a shot at robert griffin iii, because of those comments. what is this lker room going to be like tomorrow? >> the locker room is not going to be great for the rest of the season and hasn't been great for the first half of the season. and goes back to kind of the old theory, if in the media or outside the locker room you hear something might be wrong or something is going on, it's always worse. i love the way jay is handling it. i think jay gruden is trying to be a later for the team and trying to say everyone involved. that's what holds the group of guys together, jay gruden. they believe in him, want to play for him, work for him. but between themselves, it's becoming more of an issue than i

think needs to ever be handled in the loc. >> and jay gruden obviously had a lot of to say today about robert griffin iii's comments. he also has a lot to say about robert griffin iii's performance on the field. and boy, is it not good. we're going to have that coming up in sports. i'm dianna russini live in redskins park. back to you. >> it's a tough room. the nfl says it cooperated when federal agents with the dea surprised players yesterday. >> they were with medical staffers for the 49ers, buccaneers and seahawks. those surprise inspections came amid suspicions some teams are issuing pain killers to keep the players on the field. this was alleged by former players in a lawsuit year. the its knowledge there were no irregularities found during yesterday's inspections. >> so what's the next step for bill cosby? >> at 5:00 tonight, some people are glad the comedian is staying

kendra smith, lives across the street from where a young woman was attacked. >> i park on the street as close to my apartment as possible. that's really all i can do. >> reporter: this student got out of her car on hartwick road near route 1 off campus sunday morning at 6:00. a man with a knife grabbed her around the neck from behind, and said she was coming with him. she got away. tonight, police are still looking for the man. campus police increased patrols and sent out an alert, warning students about the attempted kidnapping. >> to be smart, be safe. we operate 24-hour walking escort service. >> repor sunday's attack is the third off-campus this month. november 10th, a man tried to rob a woman walking and groped her. november 6th, a woman fondled. and august 3, a sexual assault. grad student vincy chen never walks alone. >> i don't walk out after maybe 6:00 these days, because it's getting dark very early.

>> reporter: all new tonight at 6:00, a look at some of the unnerving incidents that have happened on campus. live in college park, kristin wright, news4. health officials at the university of maryland also telling students to be on alert because a viral meningitis outbreak at the school is spreading. the director of the health center says there have been 31 confirmed or suspected cases since the middle of october. about 19 students have been hospitalized for what's described as suppoive treatment. students are being told, stay at home, rest, if you are sick so you can avoid infecting others. a virginia woman is facing serious charges after a teenaged relative says she hit her with a cable and extension cord. officers arrested her after the girl told her school officials about this. and police say the girl did have significant injuries to her back, legs and her lower body. they say this happened after the girl and the suspect got into an

argument at their home in woodbridge last week. she is being held without bond. here we go. get ready. we're following the big, big developments in the weather world. >> oh, and if you think it's cold now, just wait until tomorrow morning. do you go? >> for sure. temperatures into the 30s in some spots. most of us still in the upper 40s and 50s as cold air still has a couple hours before it moves in. still dealing with shower activity. most now towards southern maryland, talking about areas around waldorf and annapolis, still dealing with those showers. but back to the west, it is the snow that's making its way our way. we're not going to see any snow. for us it's all going to be the cold air. the current temperatures in the area, 20 in columbus, ohio. 32 in elkins. that's the cold air moving into our region. so your driving impact tonight, rain ending around 6:00 to 8:00 tonight. 46 degrees at that time. but look at the temperatures tomorrow morning. 28 degrees in any areas still on the wet side could be a little on the slick side too. so heads up for that as you're stepping out the door.

not expected to be a huge problem. the bigger problem will be the wind chill. i've got those coming up in just a minute. >> doug, thank you. bill cosby's attorney says tonight the comedian will not respond to what he called discredited decade-old allegations of sexual assault. those accusations began making headlines when stand-up comedian hannibal burris recently called cosby a rapist. that led to cosby cancelling tv appearances. during an interview over the weekend, cosby remained silent. >> there have been serious allegations raised about you in recent days. you're shaking your head no. i'm in the news business. i have to ask the question. do you have any response to those charges? shaking your head no. >> now despite never being charged with any of the alleged assaults, years later some are still demanding an apology from cosby. harry hairston from our sister station in philadelphia has more

on what could lie ahead for the comedian. >> if i was mr. cosby, i think the thing for him to do at this point in time is obviously not to dignify any of these allegations with a response. >> reporter: that is the advice from former philadelphia prosecutor. at lea 14 women have said they were sexually assaulted by bill cosby decades ago but never led to charges. >> for them to come out and say she settled a lawsuit is -- it really doesn't say anything. >> reporter: when we first broke this story, a former employee did file charges against cosby a year after her alleged assault. she made her report at a police department in canada, near her home. a long-time cosby friend who still meets with the comedian regularly says he never believed the allegations. >> my relationship with bill is different from what somebody else may have had or may not have had. and i don't know the reasons for doing that. but i can say honestly, he's been a giving person.

and i'm not seeing this -- i don't have to say anything th not true. >> reporter: as we first reported, a source told the nbc 10 news the former temple employee recorded a call from cosby offering her money not to go to the police. our source says those tapes were allegedly turned over to the montgomery county district attorney's office. the d.a. would not confirm or deny if those tapes ever existed. >> if they do exist in some type of case file archived away, is it possible that anyone could get their hands on those tapes going forward and cause more issues? >> theoretically, if tapes like that existed, they could always be subpoenaed by way of, you know, some form of subpoena duces tecum. but the question is really do they exist, what do they say and what do you need them for? >> now, it's important to reiterate, despite the allegations, cosby was never charged. the statute of limitations has also run out, meaning cosby will not face any criminal or civil

suits. with news that dr. martin salia died from the ebola virus today, there is a lot of people wondering why he didn't make it, especially when so many others treated in the united states have survived. doreen gentzler is at the live desk with details on how this doctor was treated. >> hi, wendy. dr. salia is the second person to die of ebola in the u.s. he contracted the virus in sierra leone, where he was working at a hospital in that country's capital. doctors say the problem was he didn't get the treatment he needed until it was too late. by the time dr. salia arrived in nebraska for treatment on saturday, the doctors say he was already very, very sick. he had nearly no kidney function, and he was unresponsive. he was given an experimental drug, as well as a plasma transfusion from an ebola survivor. but at that point, it clearly wasn't enough to help his body fight off the virus. so far, both people who died from ebola in the u.s., salia

and thomas duncan, who died last month in texas, were in the later stages of the illness. all of nose who have survived in the u.s., including five patients who contracted the virus in west africa but were nurses in texas, they were all diagnosed at earlier stages of the virus. what's still unclear is exactly what it was that cured the patient who survived here. they have all gotten a combination of various experimental treatments. what we do know is that the earlier those treatments begin, the more effective they clearly are. one big reason why dr. salia didn't start his treatment earlier, his first ebola test in sierra leone came back negative. he didn't get a confirmed diagnosis until his symptoms were pretty much more severe. wendy, jim? >> obviously, that makes a huge difference. thanks, doreen. this ambulance is on the ground and able to transport

suspected ebola patients in sierra leone's second largest city this afternoon, thanks to churches and donors from northern virginia. it's only one of only two ambulances in the city of bough. several united methodist churches and a nonprofit helping children worldwide has raised that money and shipped the four-wheel-drive all-terrain vehicle. they suspe the -- they support the mercy hospital in sierra leone. totally unprovoked. that's what police say tonight about the push that killed a man on a new york subway platform. coming up, was his wife targeted too? i'm erika gonzales. after decades of child injuries and deaths in window blind accidents, i'll tell you the new recommendations the government is putting forth. and a bumpy landing. new pictures of that historic but rough ride there. the comet in our solar system.

it happens time and time again. children injured or even die after becoming entangled in the cords of window blinds. >> now there's new fuel in this fire to fix it. consumer reporter erika gonzales has that story. >> reporter: heather takes us into her waldorf, maryland, home. her morning routine with 10-year-old son bobby. he's a quadriplegic with cerebral palsy and considered legally blind. he wasn't borger like this.
