at the live desk where we are watching a security situation outside of the miami-dade international airport. security officials say something suspicious was seen on an x-ray machine and one of the terminal his to be evacuated. right now, no american airlines flights are leaving the airport. one person took this video inside. i mean, you can see the length of some of those lines. so far we've been told -- we have not been told what that suspicious item appears to be. we'll stay on top of this. >> thank you. to our weather now and the rain isn't letting up and doug says you may want to leave early if you hope to be in town. >> we'll continue to see the rain. jim vance, how do you describe today's weather? >> junkie. >> i knew it. i knew you would bring it through for me. that's exactly what it is. yucky for sure. we have the rain out there and not just the rain and it is a chilly rain. 52 degrees and temperatures staying fairly where they are right now and 57 at 7:00.
6:49 pm
52 at 7:00, 51 at:00 and 52 by 11:00. notice to the west we're much cooler. 45 in gaithersburg and 45 in manass manassas. a nasty night, too. notice that swath of moderate to heavy rain right now and southern maryland seeing the lightest rain and back out toward the west we're looking at it. so if you live around clarksburg or gaithersburg around lovitzville and right over toward the boonsboro wear and howard county, heavy rain continues in those areas and heavy rain in spotsylvania county and this is moving right toward fredericksburg and more heavy rain back towards la rhea and back toward the shenandoah valley and parts of that area are picking up .3 of an inch of rain. it will be a very rainy night. tomorrow still starting off that way and getting up tomorrow morning around 8 clob a.m. we'll continue to see rain and showers at that time. temperatures around 57 degrees as temperatures will actually rise overnight tonight, but it
6:50 pm
will be very wet for that morning commute. by noon, still seeing some shower activity and temperatures around 60 and by 4:00, we start to break out of this and this will lead to better conditions. 61 tomorrow and veterans day looking very nice and if you're getting out for any of the parades, they look fine and 62 on thursday with a chance for shower activity, but not much. friday, plenty of sun shine and saturday and sunday. saturday, only a high temperature of 52 degrees and what about this winter? i think we have big storm potential this year and we have a couple of things at play. cold air and strong el nino storms. if we could get some of these storms to move up it could bring us warm air to give us big-time snowfall. here's what to expect. 10 to 15 inches down to the south and 15 to 20, fredericksburg over toward waldorf and annapolis. in the d.c. metro area, the
6:51 pm
average is 15 and we'll get to 20, 25 inches, i think and 30 to 50 in the area in purple and higher elevations could see upwards of 60 or 70 and that's something we've seen a lot of over the past couple of weeks and once again, we'll continue to watch that. the players have to come together and all of the years that i've done this, this is definitely one of the lower confidence forecasts that i've had. >> okay. only because there are so many factors. this is one of the strongest el ninos that we've ever experienced and that coinciding with a couple of other factors. >> it could vary wildly from predictions. >> i think we'll get one big storm and i'm counting on one big storm to up our totals. >> thank you, doug. >> we have sports coming up and have you ever seen

it's right off of garcon. the pass was on the money. and they'll loft it down, and man is open and can't hold on and off the chest of jordan reed. >> we're not getting them coached, but we're getting outplayed. >> yeah. that kind of says it, i think, especially in the first one. my goodness, the game was over
6:55 pm
and then, carol, out at the park. that wasn't pretty at all. >> we're sharing a brain here, the game was over before it even started thanks to the first drop and also made more painful because they had no running game and 37 yards in the ground so every pass that was dropped was extremely, extremely important. it was a full game of frustration for the redskins and about desean jackson's big return and we'll need to take two for next week. three catches and 15 yards and definitely wanted to have more of an impact in the first game action since week one. after the game he spoke to our jason pugh about what to expect going forward. earlier we asked coach gruden for his reaction. take a listen. >> can't throw the ball, and when the coach and the quarterback call my number i'll be there and do what i want to do. >> he's not the one calling the plays and he's not throwing the ball to himself so we respect the comments.
6:56 pm
he missed a lot of training camp and he missed the first eight games. so to have the quarterback coming right out of the chute would probably be a little bit wishful thinking. it wasn't his day and it warrant our day and hopefully next week we'll see more balls flying his way to go get them. >> getting a deep threat back to this offense, well, that's the reality they definitely need. >> the funny thing is 3 and 5 and the redskins are aren't completely out of it and thanks to the dismal nfc east division and guess who was in last place. the skins are in third place and the cowboys are in last place and dez bryant counting down the days until tony romo comes back to the broken collar bobby. the latest blow to their dismal season in overtime. sam bradford connecting with jordan matthew for the game-winning touchdown and the eagles and the cowboys with the sixth straight loss and the sixth time dallas has had the losing streak since 1989.
6:57 pm
wait, i'm celebrating. sorry about that. >> they're welcoming kevin durant and the wizards tomorrow. today they had some extra special visitors at verizon center. wizards hosted their annual salute to the stars at verizon center opening their doors to military veterans and their families to watch practice and take part in putting together meals for charity and always a great experience for the veterans and even more so for the players. for head coach randy whitman today, this week is extra special. >> they mean everything. my father was a korean -- fought in the korean war, so this -- this week and stuff is big. it still means a lot for my family and my dad and so you always have to show the respect for these guys that do what they do. >> randy whitman, on why those programs the wizards do, they do so many for the military and why they mean so much to him. guys, that will do it from
6:58 pm
redskins park. and i'm carol. the saints coming to d.c. next week and hoping for a better showing. >> thanks, carol. >> nightly is coming up next. >> see you at 11:00.
