because of the change in toll prices. that seemed to stabilize for the evening commute as well. peaking around 7.7 5ds for the entire ten-mile stretch from the beltway to d.c. but if you drove during the height of the morning commute and you were by yourself in the car, you paid for it big-time. the tolls cost anywhere between 50 cents and $34.50 depending upon how far you were driving. virginia governor terry mcauliffe not sorry about it either. >> this is how it's supposed to work. when it's getting too congested, they don't want you on the roads. do an alternative. >> that's right. remember, carpoolers still ride for free in the easy pass lanes with the easy pass flex. single riefrdrivers do get toll. all drivers need an ease ji pass to travel during rush hour. students will have a new principal at one d.c. high school tomorrow after fallout over a graduation scandal. willie jackson

>> we have a feeling frank underwood will meet with an unfortunate end. so we've got some rain coming our way tomorrow, huh? >> yeah, but i think most of the day's actually going to turn out dry. so if you have errands to run on your lunch break you probably can sneak in and out of the office without dealing with any of that rain. it's going to be later in the afternoon, 3:00, 4:00 p.m. when we see the rain showers move in. that's going to be your first weather headline. rain tomorrow mainly during the afternoon and especially during the evening hours. after that on wednesday that cold air comes in. high temperatures on the ten-day forecast after tomorrow only in the 30s and 40s. and with the colder air take a look at your final weather headline. tracking some snow chances, friday night and saturday night. snow lovers, though, it's not the best news. right now i'm really not seeing much in the way of accumulation if any at all. but let's talk about the rain tomorrow before we go more into the snow chances at the

i'm starting off future weather tomorrow morning here's the time stamp. 7:00 a.m. maybe some patchy fog and drizzle out there. otherwise cloudy skies, and we do have cloudy skies around throughout the entire day. but i mentioned being able to head out on the lunch break, maybe get some exercise in. here's new. notice most of us are still completely dry. even back toward the mountains. but once we start to get into the afternoon hours, 3:00, 4:00 p.m., this is when rain moves into the area. the evening rush is getting under way and we're dealing with rain in parts of fairfax, montgomery, loudoun oun, potentially even in the district at that point. by 5:00, 6:00 it's raining everywhere, east of 95 at that point. and light to moderate rain in the forecast. this could certainly slow us down tomorrow night. if you have somewhere to be tomorrow evening with the rain in the forecast, i would budget a little bit of extra time just to play it safe out there. we continue to track rain overnight. we'll stop future weather at 7:00 a.m. on wednesday. at this point the rain is out

the area but the clouds hang on. that's when the cooler air moves in. temperatures right now on the chilly side for sure. 48 degrees in washington, 45 back in leesburg and tomorrow morning at 7:00 a.m. we'll start out right around 45. by lunchtime 60 degrees. not bad for early december but plenty of clouds out there. rain is likely especially around washington and areas to the west by 4:00. 62 for a high. 7:00 in the evening, we're tracking rain at that point. 59 degrees at 7:00 p.m. as we look to wednesday this has been the colder air moves, in 49 for a high. thursday 47. and then we continue to cool off on friday with a high temperature of 42 degrees. take a look at your weekend outlook. on friday some rain and snow showers are possible at night. i think most of us get home from work and school before we worry about any rain or snow. on saturday we're watching a system for some light snow that might spill into sunday. and sunday, guys, the wind childs are in the 20s and low 30s. the forecast

lot of cold in it. and maybe, maybe, maybe a little bit of snow for the weekend. >> starting to feel like december a little bit. >> yeah. finally, right? >> thanks, amelia. let's talk about ice. alex ovechkin. he was getting it done on the ice tonight as the caps sink the sharks. sports is next. but first here's jimmy fallon. >> keegan michael key is my guest tonight. plus person of the
