driver in diapers driving a hot wheels on thursday and two people got out of their cars to intervene and a neighbor saw what happened. >> i see this kid o there and just kind of booting along. i was shocked and that's why i took the pictures. i was, like, nobody's going to believe -- >> the child's father said his son climbed on a chair and unlocked the door while he was in the bathroom. all right, veronica, it seems like we're a few degrees warmer than normal this time of year and we'll continue to rise 20 degrees above average on sunday so a little bit of spring and weird for some folks who are ready to get going and hit the ski resorts and next week it will get cold and the ski resorts will do just fine next week weekend planner and some folks have the decorations up, as well. it will be mild both days and in fact, sunday, very mild in the 60s, but it's going to be windy.

so go with saturday. the final warmth any last-minute things out in the yard? things that you need to move? do it this weekend, too. washing the car, you might want to wait because we are going to be pretty wet, too, at times this weekend. the other issue even right now is the fog that will be something that we'll have to deal with at 9 clock or 10:00 a.m. tomorrow morning. these are the visibilities and they're one to two miles across the area and that will be an issue for us and after about midnight where they could drop under a mile up until about 9:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. tomorrow morning and then we're good for a while. umbrella, too. keep it handy. i don't think we'll see as much of the drizzle and dampness as we did today, but it will still be wet at times early in the day and late after 7:00, 8:00 and a chance for showers and full-on rain late tomorrow. 41 to 44 degrees and your

wake-up weather as we track the rain and the bulk of it after 11:00 and more moderate rain that will be moving on through our area until 7:00 a.m. and we still could see a lingering shower after lunchtime. >> and make sure you have the big umbrella if you'll be out late saturday. i think our temperatures are fine and you can see they'll be running in the upper 40s to around 50 degrees. as far as the weekend goes be again, on sunday, 63. after the sun sets, windchills will be in the 30s. next week our high temperatures will be in the 30s with overnight temperatures, many times in the 20s and those windchills will be in the teens and can't stress the cold coming our way next week and even a bit of flurries on wednesday and no accumulation right now, but doug's got more on that coming up on news 4 at 6:00. >> and don't let the weather stop you from skiing. doreen is at the health and fitness expo with a preview of

just how you can hit the slopes down there. doreen? >> hey, wendy. come to the health expo to get information and ideas and come down here to have fun, too. check out this skiing simulator game. this is so fun, but it's really hard. i've been practicing and if this were real skiing i would be on the ambulance on the way to the emergency room. it's very fun. we haven't had much of a chance to do any skiing in our area because the winter has been so warm and this is the place to come and practice and the sponsor of this winter sports area, ski white tail and ski liberty tell me they have some open within a short drive of d.c. with man made snow. this is nerve-racking. oh, my god. see what i mean?

i would be in the orthopedic ward, i think. maybe you'll do better than did i and come check it out and see a whole lot of physical activities that you can try out at the expo all weekend and saturday, 9:00 to 5:00 and sunday 9:00 to 4:00 and i'll be back27 with a preview at 6:00, guys. >> look forward to seeing you down there tomorrow. coming up, what happened to natalie cole? a new report out sheds new light on her deaths. it's something many of us might take for granted. a bench at a bus shelter. i'm mark segraves and coming up, why

cleopatra curtis is 47 years old. we have an update on those confusing speed signs and the ones that popped up saying 15 miles an hour and they're now gone. just yesterday they were on wisconsin avenue and chevy chase between willard and bradley boulevard. police told chris gordon the signs were not theirs. they could be from the construction company doing the work on the road. cameras there do enforce 35 miles an hour. prosecutors call him a predator, but tonight a fairfax county man convicted of multiple sex offenses is still a free man. he pleaded no contest to several sex offenses today, but when he received jail time he decided to appeal. northern virginia bureau chief julie carey joins us from the reston shopping center where some of this took place. julie? his name, michael wayne edwards. >> he used to be a fitness trainer an prosecutors say he spent time at the safeway following women through the

store taking upskirt photos and worse, but when me decided to appeal, the judge allowed him to remain free on bond and he's used to this drill. he's been tied to other sex offenses in maryland. >> reporter: why were you using your phone to videotape women in the grocery store? >> we have no comment. >> reporter: michael wayne edwards stayed silent and he initially pleaded no contest to three sex offenses, but when the judge sentenced him to 18 months in jail he reversed course and decided to appeal. ed wars' attorney says the allegations against him have cost him his job and 14s and made him the subject of persecution. >> he has suffered social consequences in his personal life and they are personal in nature and we will not be commenting on his case at all. >> but this is not the first time michael wayne edwards has been accused of bizarre attacks on women. five years ago in gaithersburg he was arrested for spraying his bodily fluids on women in a

shopping center parking lot. he was allowed to plead guilty to one charge, his jail time suspended. in august edwards became a suspect again and this time in fairfax count pep police say he trailed female shoppers through the safeway aisles using his cell phone to take upskirt pictures and he followed one victim into the parking lot and exposed himself. the search reveals edwards is also a suspect in a september incident similar to those years ago in maryland that took place near the stone road park and ride. shoppers at the reston safeway were surprised to hear of the upskirting incident and surprised, too, that edwards was allowed to stay out of jail. >> doesn't sound like a good decision. >> maybe there are extenuating circumstances, but the concern is that maybe he's back in business. >> reporter: the case against edwards will move to circuit court where he'll be set for trial. i'm julie carey, news 4.
