above freezing here in the shenandoah valley and into the upper 30s around 40s around town. from shivers to sunshine on your friday. breezy as well. winds will lay down again tonight and tomorrow morning there will be a possibility i think of a frost freeze threat once again. clouds will start to come back in. that will actually help as well. so as with elose the wind and -- as we lose the wind and pick up the cold. if you have tender flowers or plantsio outside cover them up. and rain by 3:00 or 4:00 tomorrow afternoon, and rain likely into sunday. may not dry out until 4:00 or 5:00 on sunday afternoon. 50s to near 60 today. 50s tomorrow with rain arriving later on in the day. rain most likely saturday night into early sunday. then as we get into next week there, temperatures staying well cooler than average. but we dry out as we get back to work and school on monday.

good morning, melissa, how's traffic? >> good morning. got off the phone with police about this one. we're talking about 95 southbound at powder mill road. we had a report of a crash there and one south of that at nassau. nassau unfounded. so 95 southbound at powder mill is the only issue. really not bad we're not seeing the actual crash on the camera. it's too low for that. but just a warning, at 5 south at powder mill that's a still blocking the right lane. we have some road -- and a live look at 66 and we're back in a couple of minutes. >> that --. -- thank you, melissa. today marks the 100 years since the massacre of the armenians at the hands of the ottoman turks. germany has up until now avoided

stakes prizes. larry hogan is staying mum on whether he'll support the purple line project. during a panel discussion yesterday, he said it's not a question of whether it's a good idea. he said the bigger question is whether the state can afford the project right now. hogan said the state is studying ways to reduce the light rail project that's supposed to run between montgomery and prince george's countys. flashy and trashy. that's how one group describes the huge bright billboards outside of the verizon center. could see more in the district. digital bill boards could be in locations designated as entertainment areas. the signs make the district look unrecognizable. >> one reason we're so beautiful we don't have the advertising junk you see all over the america's highways. all the litter on the stick. now we have them on the side of the buildings. >> d-dot crafted the law to

prevent the sign glare from annoying people in their homes or apartments. anyone who wants to weigh in can do so until may 15. president obama under scrutiny after an air strike in pakistan took the life of a virginia man. the tough questions his administration is facing now. probably the last thing you want to happen at a metro stop ending up on the tracks but some are doing it on purpose. the shocking investigation from the news4 i-team. get ready for a bitter cold friday. especially for this time of the year. 41 degrees out there. and guess what? we're talking about windchills. take a look at that. 29 degrees in gaithersburg. 30 in

chilliness around here. a cold night tonight, could lead to the frost freeze warning. shower chances on both saturday and sunday. >> see the thing is i should have listened to you and tom and not planted the flowers early. >> depends on how far out of the ground they are. >> probably not what they're supposed to be. whatever they're supposed to be it's not right i can tell you that. now i can cover them up. roadwise southbound at powder mill road, we have that crash off to the right side. so we have a three-quarter mile delay at this point. camden line delays between dorsey station and baltimore. there are 15 to 30 minutes me hind because of some freight traffic that's not cooperating this morning. wide look at things overall. looking pretty good as you take a big look at the beltway. 66 into and out of town, just fine. 95 a little slow northbound through dale city. and driving north on 95 near
