a flash flood unleashed treacherous mud slides. >> by this time tomorrow one of the best-known names in the airline industry will be gone. >> tonight, the final steps in a merger that will create the nation's largest carrier. >> and i'm wendy rieger at the live desk. oh, this weekend is off to a very slow start for thousands of people trying to get from maryland into virginia. let's take a live look at the wilson bridge where an all-clear has just gone out after a suspicious package was found there. those local lanes going southbound. they have been closed since 1:00 this afternoon. that suspicious package was on the pedestrian walkway and prince george's county fire department bomb squad worked for more than three hours to make sure there was nothing sinister. we are told the lanes on that bridge, however, even though we have an all-clear will not open for another 20 minutes, so don't head there if you don't have to. joining us on the phone is wdot

traffic director, what's the impact now? >> reporter: wendy, it's very confusing fb a lot of drivers. i'm standing on 295 right when it comes into the beltway. a lot of folks coming down here from joint base -- from jbap. they don't know where to go. there is a pretty simple detour as you continue south on 295 and you continue on national harbor and make a quick u-turn at the sunoco station and get right on the through lanes of 495 and folks don't know what to do so they're confused and they keep asking me and the police officers here what to do, and it looks like they're just getting the word right now to open some of the lanes on this ramp as we're just getting the word now to try to pick up some of the cones here. >> but even if they open those ramps, jim, how much time is it going to start to clear things out? that can be nasty even on a good day. >> i'm looking up 295 now and

it's backed up as far as i can see and from what i can tell there are lengthy delays out on the beltway, stretching all of the way up way past andrews, past st. barnabus road and through rush hour and want only do we have the regular d.c. traffic and the northeast corridor runs right through this area and people trying to get away from the weekend they travel right through our area every friday afternoon at this time. >> all right. jim, wtop traffic director. thanks, jim. it is ugly out there, folks. they have sounded the all-clear, but it could be another 20 minutes before they open the lanes on southbound by the wilson bridge. good luck out there. back to you. >> thanks, wendy. now to the deadly triangle. the husband and wife were having an affair with the same woman. now the wife is accused of having both of them killed and police say she got her teenage

daughter's boyfriend to pull the trickle. it happened in the town of lothian and the victims were found on west bay front home. the wife appeared in court today and news 4's meagan fitzgerald is live with an update. >> reporter: chris, a judge denied bond to ann anastasi. her court-appointed attorney tried to argue that she's a mother of four and she needs to get home to her children and doesn't have a criminal background and she conspired to killing her husband and their lover who was living in their basement. police say this all happened inside the anastasi's lothian home on october 4th. investigators say ann anastasi and her 13-year-old daughter and her daughter's boyfriend planned the killings. court documents say ann picked up the 18-year-old before the murder. text messages between the three of them talked about the exchange of a handgun and killing two people.

the next day on october 5th police say ann called 911 to say her husband committed suicide. when they arrived they found anthony anastasi shot in the upstairs bedroom and the couple's lover, 25-year-old jacqueline riggs dead from multiple stab wounds. >> we have statements from the 18-year-old that were noted in his charging document which indicated that he admitted to being the person who actually stabbed the victim downstairs and shot mr. anastasi. >> reporter: anastasi and her 13-year-old daughter are facing first-degree murder. how and why investigators say ann tried to cover up the murder of her husband. back to you. >> meagan fitzgerald. thanks, meagan. we now know the name and age of a man stabbed to death in a transitioning neighborhood in the district. joel madget and another man were attacked along k street

northwest near i-395. he was 24 and he was stabbed in the stomach and the other man was stabbed in the leg. he survived. it's not clear who stabbed them or why. a man is in critical condition right now after he crashed his van into a fire truck on the beltway. prince george's firefighters have responded to another crash last night near richey marlboro road and that's when the man slammed into the back of the truck. inspectors are looking it over to see if the fire truck could be fixed. if not the new one could cost up to $800,000. now to the punishment handed down today for a man's role in a deadly drug overdose. northern virginia bureau reporter david culver has more from the federal courthouse in alexandria. >> reporter: in delivering her sentence the federal judge said she wanted to send a very clear message to all those dealing drugs. if you deal drugs to somebody and they overdose you better call police.

this case stems back to september of last year. they found jason latham dead from a drug overdose and he was in an ashburn hotel room and gregory coley pled guilty to tampering with evidence and federal charges and he admitted to dragging latham's body out of the hotel room. coley did call 911. latham's family feels 96 months in prison just isn't enough. >> i think he'll go back to doing the same thing. i do know that he has probation violation in the county and that's another five years that he'll have to serve there. hopefully it will be enough. >> reporter: you think with a federal judge delivering her sentence the case would be over. ahead on news 4 at 5k clo, we'll show you why the family says there are more charges to pursue here. i'm david culver, news 4. >> reporter: well, we have one word for you as you make those weekend plans and let's get to storm team 4 meteorologist doug

kammerer and meteorologist veronica johnson in the storm center. the mystery word is cold. >> yes. >> exclamation mark. >> we are talking very cold air. this is the coldest air of the season. freeze watches are already in effect. >> looking back out last year at the calendar, it wasn't until a whole month from now last year that we saw readings as though as this weekend and they'll be coming in very early and temperatures today not bad at all and 67 in d.c., and 66 in manassas, but it is going to be a very cool evening. if you're headed out make sure you take the cold. the cold air moving in as we speak ask it will stay cold saturday, sunday, right on into monday and overnight low temperatures will be close to the freezing mark and that's why we have a freeze watch in effect tomorrow night into sunday morning and it will most likely be in effect sunday night into monday, as well because we're talking very cold air and does not include d.c. it is still going to be cold

here, too and we'll talk about this area and show you just how cold you could be where you live in our forecast in just a few minutes. >> new polling numbers are out after this week's debate. which democratic candidate is in the lead plus questions for hillary clinton's top adviser on benghazi. >> tracy morgan says he's ready to host snl this weekend. more on his triumphant return to "saturday night for the girl scout meeting... ok! for the soccer team... for the girl scout meeting... how many meetings are you having?!

action. >> for hillary clinton this could be the first real measureders fekt from her debate performance. and the suffolk poll, well-respected, state of new hampshire where bernie sanders has held the lead in that poll since july. hillary clinton now leads making that first in the nation primary state, making new hampshire a real battleground now. in new hampshire where bernie sanders leads her in most polls, hillary clinton made a promise on an issue she thinks distinguishes her from him. guns. >> as president i will push and achieve universal background checks. >> most democrats are saying clinton won the debate in las vegas, but ahead lies danger. >> reaction to the benghazi act? >> huma abedin, again, democrats

are asking is this probe a gop plot? >> whether this is a taxpayer-funded effort to derail the candidacy of hillary clinton. i am confident that the people will say this is a professionally conducted investigation. >> reporter: another concern. joe biden running and no pressure to decide today from president obama. >> i think that the vice president, like every other candidate makes their own decisions. >> fund-raising would be a big biden challenge. clinton who tops the democratic field nationally also tops in fund-raising. $30 million so far. >> bernie sanders, 26 million. donald trump has raised just $3.1 million and the least of any republican running and he uses his own money and trump still leads his pac in the polls and trump leads in brassiness, insisting today that the next debate runs just two hours and

no running over and that candidates be allowed to make statements. >> reporter: here's breaking news though probably not a big surprise. donald trump has won another negotiation. cnbc this afternoon saying yes, the debate will be just two hours and yes, the candidates will have opening and closing statements. i'm steve handelsman, news 4. >> showing off his negotiating skills. >> you know it. >> thanks. pat and i are confused because we've both got phones and these phones have calendars and they say october. the temperatures you're showing us don't match what's showing up on our phone. so what is going on here? >> what's going on is a very cold air mass making its way down across our region. you're right. what we'll be seeing here is late-november-type temperatures as we move into the weekend with high temperatures only in the low to mid-50s and low temperatures around freezing or even colder and we've seen the front come through and we're

dealing with sunshine across our region and a very nice afternoon. it's a little bit on the cool side and winds out of the northwest at 16 miles per hour and gusting over 20 miles per hour in spots and 67 degrees that current temperature and not bad across our area and storm team 4 radar clear and tell stay that way and we have no chance for rain and we have it there for the next seven days and that's it. here's the front and you can see it clearly marked down to the south and it did not bring us any rain at all and it brought norfolk. in behind it, though, we are seeing the cooler air. you can see it making its way in making its way through portions of pennsylvania and not for us. here's what i want to show you. only 47, minneapolis, 53 in chicago and 55 right now in pittsburgh and look at the frost or freeze advisories. look how much of the country is covered here and st. louis, cincinnati our area under a freeze watch just to the west of 395 and a freeze watch in effect

paul neidermyer finds his tires don't last that long. >> it lasted 80,000 and it might last 40 or 45. consumer reports tested two samples of each. a convoy of truck drove each tire 16,000 miles and it was measured at regular intervals to predict how long the tires would last and the proper maintenance and makes a difference how and when you drive, but our mileage projections are a good way to compare treadwear. >> some tire mileage claimed overly optimistic although the tread life is still quite good. the kumho guarantee was 75,000, and continental says 90,000. consumer reports 60,000. far worse the nokian the warranty 180,000 and consume are reports just 35,000. some tires last much longer. >> mish len was a standout. the three models we tested all

met or exceeded their mileage warranty and came in with a projected tread life of 80,000 miles or more. >> the longest lasting tires are t the pirelli, and consumer reports they'll get 100,000. >> it does extensive testing to ensure the safety and high quality driving properties of the tire and it disagrees with consumer reports findings saying consumer reports does not follow nokian's internal testing. >> good information. thanks, erica. >> history will be made this weekend on "saturday night live" when tracy morgan steps back on that stage. what to expect from his big, nationwide comeback. a state known for gambling cracks down on daily fantasy sports sites and we want to hear from you, do you think those sites would be regulated the same way sports gambling is?
