it's going to be that way for the next few hours but the clouds started to roll in. the temperatures dropped significantly after the high today. into the upper 40s, the low 50s. 40 right now in d.c. you say, well, that's not too much colder but look around the suburbs, 38 martinsburg, 28 manassas. if the rain was to move in now, we'd be talking about sleet and freezing rain. that's not going to be the case, though, tomorrow morning. i think we're going to see the temperatures start to rise and the cloud cover is definitely coming in. no rain right now, not even close. you can take a look way back here towards parts of ohio. notice the cloud cover start to move in. that will put a blanket on the temperatures. the warm front you can see right here is starting to make its way in. and by the time we see the rainfall, it should be better. so funny. speaking of family members, my brother lives right here. it was 64 degrees today. he was grilling out.

of 36 degrees right now. so that's some of the colder air that's also moving across the east. so you know you're in for colder air sunday and monday. for us, 7:00 a.m., the cloud cover is here. above freezing hopefully because here comes some rain back to the west. look at the rain around 10:00. i-66 and 50 northward, that's the best chance for rain. if you live south of 66, you have a much less chance of rain in fredericksburg and waldorf. but even around 2:00 you are still looking at shower activity. then it moves out around 3:00 or 4:00. then you get a break. if you're going to dinner saturday night, you'll be okay. if you go out afterwards and there's a late-night movie, we have a frontal boundary moving through and wind will be out there. notice around 2:00, 3:00 a.m., it is still raining. a pretty good chance for not just rain but maybe heavy rain, then it starts to get a lot cooler out here by sunday morning. look at the

snow. maybe a couple inches of snow back there on sunday. the wind is going to be a big factor for us. first off, though, 59. around this time tomorrow night, could be in the low 60s. chance of showers. heaviest rain and it turns windy. winds could gust upwards of 50 to 50 miles per hour. that could my falling temperatures. falling through the 40s. we'll be in the 30s by sunday night. much colder conditions. waking up to wind chills on monday in the 20s as the kids are heading back to school and we're all heading back to work. 55 on your wednesday. right now tuesday looks like the best day of the next ten and that's just average. sunshine, 57 degrees thursday, thanksgiving temperature around 48. then we stay on the cool side, not quite cold but cool side into next weekend. there are signs, though, after that it will get really cold. >> whoa. >> good traveling weather for people. >> wednesday and thursday. >> coming up, the wizards going for their fifth straight win

>> first, here's jimmy fallon. >> hey, guys, we're here, justin verlander, kate upton are here. plus jessica chastain and

this is the xfinity sports desk. >> all right. earlier tonight he seemed pretty darn confident that the wizards would win against the miami heat. >> i remember that just a few short hours ago. so let's check back in with the nbc sports washington studios. that didn't exactly work out the way you

>> it did not. now, in my defense, the wizards were not 100% tonight. the engine that makes them go had some sparkplug issues. john wall had fluid in his knee and played through the pain against miami. his injury was pretty apparent in his performance especially early on. john wall went scoreless, bradley biehl only had four points in first half. ellington matches their output on this play. knocking down the three-pointer and the free throw. after missing their 16 three-point shots, morris ends the drought. biehl also found his range. scoring 15 in the third. the wizards cut the lead to single digits. kept muscling inside. the heat center had 37 points and 37 rebounds in his last two games against the wizards. final

looking to complete the comeback and send it to overtime just short. 26 points for biehl. wizards lose 91-88. the caps have an issue on defense. they've given up 12 goals in their last two games. after last night's loss to the avalanche, a hat trick for colorado. barry trotz stopping the avalanche of gold is just one of many problems he's facing. >> i thought we were slow and sort of lethargic. two straight cams coming out of that. and we're down a goal right away. puck battles and races and one on one play. it was all junk, to me. not good enough. >> virginia tech lit up madison square garden against washington in the classic tonight. hokies hit almost 70% of their three-pointers knocking down

game. justin bibs all this came less than 24 hours after coach buzz williams questioned his team's character. safe to say the hokies responded. virginia tech now 3-1 after their 103-79 win over washington. high school, south lake hosting madison. and madison's best scoring chance, the ball is tipped. then picked off by joseph dagby. shut out of the end zone. seahawks can fly. he finds may. their second touchdown connection. just a few seconds later, the ground game ices it. menza, 100 yards as well. south lakes beats madison 35-0. they'll travel to westfield next saturday. guys, back to you. >> all right, chris miles, thank you. >> have a good w ee
