11:19 pm
getting up to 70 just about everywhere. however, it will be very breezy tomorrow. winds gusting to 20 30 miles an hour. we could see higher gusts. that's something to watch out for. nothing to show here but you see cloud cover back around kansas city. minneapolis, minnesota, got to 82 degrees. that's because of a cold front making its way our way. that whole system does move our way and as it does you'll see a chance of thunderstorms on friday. that's why i have future weather on friday. nothing happening tomorrow so we don't need to do it for tomorrow. as we move through the morning on friday up around 7:00 maybe a few showers but most of the area just sees cloud cover. a few showers coming through around the noon hour but, again, we're not seeing much. it's a good day to keep the umbrella handy but i don't think you'll need it much of the day. in the afternoon, around 5:00 coming on through the d.c. metro area it's something that we'll watch and we'll be on the warm side and more showers as we move through the overnight hours.
11:20 pm
high temperatures tomorrow nice. 67 in frederick. 72 at fredericksburg and culpepper. plenty of sunshine but, again, on the breezy side. chesapeake bay, still very cold. it's going to take a while for the crabs to come out from the mud underneath there. 70 on thursday and 75 on friday. there's a chance of showers but, once again, not an all-day rain. 55 on saturday. of course that's passed over high temperature of 63 and then we get much warmer 67 on monday for the start of the national season. 69 on tuesday and 68 on wednesday. chance of showers on tuesday and wednesday. all in all, looking great. if you have tickets against the mets on monday you picked a pretty good one. >> if you have crabs, call him. because apparently he's loving it. thanks doug. >> thanks doug. did you see t

11:25 pm
6ers team. no luck. tonight, 23 points 14 boards 15 assists. second quarter, bradley turning up the heat. blocks the shot. let's go the other way. finishes is strong. a 10-1 run for the wiz. they were up by 34 at one point but a little later, beal again, the drive right to the rim. the bucket wizards defense actually let a lot of the lead slip away. that was their problem. they win it at 106-93 but it wasn't as easy as it should have been. >> it's frustrating because we keep doing the same thing. we get too complacent. they could have come back easily and won the game. but it's just -- it's no excuse for us to give up a lead like that especially this late in the year. >> exactly.
11:26 pm
let's keep it. this is no april fools' joke for maryland fans. meanwhile, diamond stone, how great is that name -- i want that name -- playing in the mcdonald's all-american game. these kids probably hoping to get a ball signed. it could be worth a lot one day, right? 6'10" diamond stone, pretty good actually, making his presence felt on defense here. leads to a fast break. stone also showing some offense. able to hit a jumper and it's going to help them run the floor. cleaning up on the boards slamming it home. stone, 16 points tonight. we also got to see some future terps on the women's side. she's got some range, too. we see her knocking down some threes. she's from connecticut. she's ranked 27th best in the

11:28 pm
>> look on the left. this is the clippers game and it looks very similar. broke his ankles and look on the right again, doug oh! but the point of showing that is my thought was, we were really hard on you about that and, you know it happens to best of them out there. i'm glad your ankles are feeling better. >> how long does that stay in your system? >> and your knees hit the court. that was my favorite part of the whole thing. >> show us your
