and now your storm team4 forecast. >> we're looking at the forecast over the next couple days. ups and downs. we have some great weather, some nasty weather. we've got it all over the next few days. right now it's not too bad. temperatures into the mid to upper 30s today. right now we're down to 36 degrees under clear skies. winds out of the north at about 15 miles per hour. that northerly component to the wind always going to give us a cool wind. windchills in the 20s. so it's chilly. already down below freezing, gaithersburg, urbana. around 34 towards fredericksburg. king george, around 38 there. temperatures are going to fall tonight. we'll get below freezing once again. so we will see some slick spots as we've seen the last couple days, the last couple mornings but not a huge deal. storm team4 radar all clear. no rain, no snow to talk about. actually going to be pretty tranquil, pretty quiet as we move through the next couple days. i am watching a frontal boundary. this time a warm front is moving in.

the region. here are the clouds from that warm front. it's going to move like this across the area. behind it it's not just warm, it's downright hot. kansas today just shattering records. up to 90 degrees in parts of the area toward western kansas and that's the kind of warm air we have moving into our area. by this time on saturday, temperatures will be some 25 degrees warmer than they are out there right now. so some very good numbers. now overnight tonight it will be quite cool. down to 26 in the city. 20 back to hagerstown and 23 in leesburg. waking up to friday on a cold note. it will be rather chilly all day even though temperatures may be a little warmer than they were today. it will feel cool because of the cloud cover. 27 degrees tomorrow morning but then a lot of clouds during the afternoon. temperature around 42 degrees. most areas upper 30s to right around 40. as we move on through the day tomorrow, the impact still on the low side. no significant weather to talk about other than the fact that we are going to just be feeling on the cool side. so that forecast is low for that

impact forecast and really we don't get into moderate or high until next week. this weekend is looking great. this weekend is also looking warm. and that sets the stage for our next storm system. still watching next week. this is the pattern the next few days. that warm air comes to the mid-atlantic, down to the south. very, very warm air, but tracking the jet stream here, we've got the northern branch. the southern bramnch, it producs a little piece of energy down to the south. two branches come together down to the south. now, where do they come together? how strong is it? where does our storm go? is it too warm? is the storm inland, out to sea? there's so many questions with this storm, tough to create a good forecast for this far out but the pattern is right for a storm. rain or snow will be likely. stay with storm team4 over the next couple days. we will continue to refine this forecast. should have a much better idea by saturday night into sunday. look at that weekend forecast though. 63 saturday, 60 degrees

the amount of cold air on the front side and the back side of the storm. still a lot of questions out there. we know we're going to see some rain and we know we're going to see some snow in parts of the area, but the amount of each still way too early to even put out there. so this is something we're going to be watching for the next couple days. lots of uncertainty and that's what we're really going to be looking at over the course of the next few days. when will we have a better idea? well, the area of low pressure does not even come on shore until saturday night into sunday. so, again, we're going to be watching this one very closely. 63 on saturday. 60 degrees on sunday. chance of a late shower on sunday but most of the day dry. there's the next storm. next tuesday and wednesday, temperatures upper 30s to around 40 degrees. much more on this storm over the next few days. guys? >> thank you, doug. sports coming up. stay tuned.

this is the xfinity sports desk brought to you by xfinity, your home for the most live sports. trade deadline always interesting no matter what the sport, especially when they're going into the second half. >> i wasn't expecting a lot of news for the wizards because they're saving up for the off-season, but there was a lot of excitement moments before the 3:00 p.m. deadline. they got a big player and there's all a if with the trade but with markieff morris the if seems tbe

act together he could make a big impact. jason pugh standing by at verizon center with the latest. how is this news being received? >> reporter: it's split right down the middle. a lot of people know morris has been playing the game of basketball and will be a good addition to the team but some people concerned about the baggage off the basketball court that he brings to the nation's capital. let's get into some of that right now. just a few moments ago or a couple weeks ago actually morris he got into this altercation with a teammate on the bench and last season he even got into it with his former head coach. but despite the headaches he may bring, he can play the game, averaging 20 points and 7 rebounds in the month of february. morris actually talked to the media briefly on his hover board. >> my time here was great and i thank the organization for giving me a chance to play here and draft me and i'm ready

this move to washington. it is what it is. it's a part of the league and it happens. >> reporter: now, the wizards will need all the help they can get, including whatever morris can bring to the table. three games in three days for this wizards squad starting tonight here at the verizon center. the utah jazz in town. this is a makeup game from the blizzard weekend this year. tip-off tonight is set for 7:00 p.m. over on comcast sports net plus. carol, right now the wizards are not in the playoffs if they started today. these next three games over the next three nights will be critical for this team jump starting the second half of the season to see if they can make a playoff run. we'll see how it work out for then tonight here at the verizon center. >> jason pugh live. thank you so much. we are excited about this. the terrapins look to continue the trend of following up a loss with a big win. tonight the terps are in minnesota, only five regular season games left.

team it is time to really start bringing it. >> after every loss there's always room where we can make improvements. even when we win we go back and constantly looking at ways we can get better. everyone hates losing and i think that's why every time we have a loss everyone just dials in and refocuses. >> it's getting late. it's time for us to start picking it up a little bit. we're 22-4 and not many teams have won 22 games, but hopefully playing the right way and getting better down the stretch. >> the terps tip at 8:00 on big ten network. the caps in action tonight visiting the new york islanders. 6-2 in the month of february and basically the best team in the nhl. many things going right for barry trotz's group. depth to cover up a couple injuries, secondary scoring, and the ability to play hard the entire game. >> some teams can hang with us for 30 minutes or 40 minutes or something, but i find our team is hard tong

full 60. that being said, you still want to have a better start. i think that's something we can address, be better at, but i like the way we play for 60 minutes. >> the caps, they have never given up the lead in the third period. they have 41 wins in 55 games. best in franchise history. >> that's what it takes, holding onto your lead. when you get one. >> tell the wizards that. >> you love a guy who says a lot of guys can hang with us for a little while but you can't hang with us for the whole game. you need the wiz to do more than make the playoffs because if they just scrape in, they start, if i'm not mistaken, against the pacers, right? you don't want to do that. >> wouldn't be happy with scraping in? >> no! scraping your way in and then -- >> don't get greedy. >> going against the patzers -- >> i want to know more about the athlete hang o

boards. >> jim is like what's a hover board? >> i never saw that before. >> a self-balancing scooter with nothing to hang on and it liter literally -- i can't believe professiona athletesl a
