miami to get away from irma. he's been putting the fire on at night. it's an that cool. but it is dhily. 58 degrees in martinsburg, 59 in gaithersbu gaithersburg. 61 in fredericksburg. we will not in the upper 40s to low 50s like we have in the last couple of days. that blanket of clouds sitting over top of us right now. but it's not giving us any showers. you can see some trying to form down around charlottesville. but that's really about it. the rest of the area, here comes the clouds across our region. but most of this not really reaching the ground just yet. it's fairly dry. but this all reaching the ground. we've got a lot of rain down around the atlanta area. they picked up about two to three inches of rain. winds gusting to 60 miles per hour today out at the airport. and then big-time rains and big-time storms over toward parts of charleston. that's why they're dealing with the flooding they're dealing with. historic flooding into the charleston area. right now number 2 as far as the flooding is concerned. behind hurricane hugo. the worst disaster in charleston back in 1989. then down

dealing with that flooding too. all of this rain making its way to the north and west out of the region but then it will move back in across our area. and believe it or not, we are actually going to depend on irma to help us move jose. jose right now not moving much. just kind of meandering here in the atlantic. but we're hoping irma moves back up to sea and picks jose up and moves it out to sea with it. let's look at the latest advisory from jose. tropical depression now irma. and this is hurricane jose. it was up to a category 4 at one point. now a category 1 hurricane with winds of 85 miles per hour. once again not moving a whole lot. northeast at six miles moo an hour. watch what happens. it's expected to go all the way around and back to the u.s. if you keep going, extrapolate this out, southeast landfall, probably not. most of the models picking up this, has irma picking up and moving out to sea. is it something we have to watch?

track we could be watching it move into parts of the east coast. once again we will continue to monitor jose now as we have with harvey and with irma. tomorrow school day forecast not bad. maybe a light jacket to start the day. recess outside tomorrow i think the kids will be fine. i'm not anticipating much in the way of rainfall during the day tomorrow. best chance will be tomorrow night into wednesday morning. could see some showers with. wednesday afternoon we might get some sun, high of 82. thursday and friday the remnants of irma moving over. highs in the upper 70s to around 80 before a great week. at least a great weekend saturday and sunday. >> all right. sounds good. thank you, doug. a former terp turns up in a season opener. >> sports is next. first here's jimmy fallon. >> hey, guys, seth meyers is my guest tonight. plus we ve nba ha

all right. we're used to tough ones right out of the gate, but this was particularly a rough start. >> yeah. redskins game 1 not so good. i don't think you need to hit the panic button yet. it's only week one. but not having all of their receivers healthy over the summer and in the preseason is still no excuse for the redskins offense. some of those same blows still problems now that the regular season is here. definitely not the start jay gruden wanted as he returns to play calling duties. the redskins offense looking out of sync most of the game. and kirk cousins did not look comfortable with his receivers. one receiver we didn't see much of, 2016 first-round pick josh

no targets or catches in just 20 plays against the eagles. doctson missed most of his rookie season and a good chunk of camp with injuries. needs to prove he's in practice according to his head coach. >> i think once he establishes himself as an everyday player he's going to get the reps and then he's going to prove that he is one of our top receivers. he'll get more and more reps as the season goes on without a doubt. but he's got to earn that right like everybody does. he'll make more plays in practice. the more plays he makes in practice the more comfortable he'll be and the more reps he's going to get. that will happen. i know that will happen. josh is a great receiver. now it's a matter of putting day in and day out consistently. sunday night in l.a. for them. but "monday night football" in minnesota. randy moss getting into the viking ring of honor and getting the party started. moss started it but a former maryland terp kept it going second quarter. sam bradford to stefon diggs. 18-yard touchdown catch for the good council high school alum. then getting to show off those dance moves.
