gaithersburg. winds gusting up to 20 to 30 miles per hour. we're not seeing winds up everywhere but every once in a while those strong winds. we've got snow showers coming through right now. back towards winchester, and if you look out your window, you may see some of these flurries. this is all part of a system. you can see a little spin in the atmosphere. little wave tonight, then you can see more coming down from the north. these are lake effect snow showers that will continue right on through the day tomorrow. something else that will move in will be the cold. look at the temperatures back to the west. 28 pittsburgh, 32 morgantown. these are the numbers that we can expect tomorrow night. we'll be in the 20s tomorrow night. an extremely cold night. that's why i've got the big old "cold" up there and to the east. watch what happens tomorrow afternoon. we see sunshine, but that only helps to keep some of the snow showers together through the late afternoon hours and we could see those coming through. now where will they be exactly?

towards warrenton. some of us will see them, others will not. they could be coming down pretty quickly. again, just snow showers, not a big deal. but briefly heavy. maybe upwards of five minutes. that's enough to slow traffic down. a little chance of accumulation. not going to accumulate at all. but then it gets out of the here, the sun comes back out and we get rather dry again. speaking of dry, here is our drought monitor. really as of today and really as of yesterday we're in a severe drought situation. we really do need to see some rain or some snow. doesn't look like we'll see much snow any time soon. tomorrow 44 degrees, passing snow showers with rain down to the south. wind chills in the 30s, but by tomorrow evening the wind chills will drop into the 20s and by saturday morning, our temperature of 25 with a wind chill of 15 early on saturday morning, same deal on sunday morning. the coldest we've seen since january. as i mentioned, two back-to-back days

20s. monday at 60 degrees. tuesday is our next best chance for rain. everybody asking can we plant this, can we plant that? temperature still below freezing. >> that will be a quick photo op. >> ready for it. makeup on. one of the caps young stars helps lead them to a new franchise record. >> but first here's jimmy fallon. >> hey, guys, octavia spencer is here, john lithgow, luke bryan. music fro

>> young'un has fans feeling old but he knows how to celebrate already. >> the caps, it wasn't their normal high scoring matchup but this even set a new franchise record in the process. tonight was their longest in team history. their last loss on home ice was december 29th against the devils. the caps are holding military night. medal of honor recipient taking care of the ceremonial puck drop. a very cool moment. but to the game. second period scoreless. has a lot to do with braden holtby. miles wood on the door step but holtby closing the door not once or twice but three times. not all smooth sailing for the goalie. third period trying to clear but the ref wouldn't get out of the way. these two get tangled up.

everyone would be all right. kuznetsov looking to pass. gets caught in traffic. jake ub vrana. that's all the caps needed. they win it 1-0-8, even redskins chris baker loving it. now on to the redskins. a lot going on right now. general manager scott mccloughan not there due to family business. they're talking tonight one of those thins they're probably talking about, quarterback kirk cousins, the qb's agent and the team met last night. the two sides are still not close to a deal. reportedly offering cousins 20 million per year with the qb looking closer to 24. to the diamonds, nationals taking on the astros in spring training.

first, two on for jayson werth. and werth smashes that ball. and the nationals out to a 4-0 lead. you think bryce harper is going to let werth outdo him? in the sixth he's got a man on and he sends this ball into orbit, a two-run shot for harper. second of the spring. nats win big, 13-1. but there was a crazy scene at the mets/marlins game. you never want to see a bat fly from a player's hands. but today they cheered him. he comes away with the bare handed grab. just so casually throws it back on to the field. one of the best catches you'll see all season. the dugout protector clearly for the mets. now, the wizards they were off tonight, but still in the gym tonight for a good cause. john wall, scott brooks, marcin gortat

the teams are made up of players with and without special needs. for the wizards, getting out in the community and being able to give back is a highlight for them this season. >> one of the great things i enjoy about my job. doing a great job of staying active in the community. it's good for your soul, good to your heart, good for the community to continue to give back. >> look at what they have to deal with. they can't control that, we can't control that. but for them to get to play the sport that they love to play is always fun. for us to be here and play on a high level to give back always means a lot to me. >> i was there. they were so excited. but they said refereeing and coaching was sub par. keep their day jobs.
