1:00. we don't move much. 28 gaithersburg, 22 in manassas. it's going to be a fairly chilly day for lunch and it's going to stay that way all day. the tepz only cool as we head into the evening. by 7:00 wind chill 15 martinsburg 23 degrees in washingt washington. 29 at the bus stop, cold for the kids, breezy and chilly at recess, once again probably the kids staying indoors for recess and breezy again as we make our way through the afternoon. next couple of days still cold on friday with more cloud cover and a chance for flurries, not expecting much. 45 degrees on your saturday. rather breezy on saturday. sunday high of 47. then we've got a chance for some showers. we're tracking those monday and tuesday but not a very strong system at all. but at least it does try to bring temperatures back into the low 50s before they come right back out. as we make our way toward the middle of the week. >> looks like we can switch from the giant coat to the medium puffy coat. >> take some air out of the puffy coat.

>> announcer: this is the xfinity sports desk. >> all right. basketball back in action. and wall back on the court. nice to see. >> it was a rough road trip so coming home and getting john wall back on point. and john wall does more than bolster his own stats. he makes the wizards better. tonight his return to the court after missing the team's last nine games with a knee injury. and in the words of doreen, the wolf is woke. john wall ready to go, picking it up in the second quarter. wizards up two. no rust for wall here, blows by the defender, gets it to go. wall's speed still there. just a few plays later showing it off again. throwing with the left hand. this is when you know he's feeling himself. 13 points tonight for wall. skipping ahead fourth quarter bradley beal picked up the slack when wall was out. no slowing down. knocks down the three here. then later in the quarter memphis down three but beal draining another

team-high 18 for beal. wizards up six. just over a minute to play, apparently chandler parsons hasn't heard about wall. despite the six-inch height difference. wizards beat the grizzlies 93-87. afterward wall asked if he's thinking about his knee injury and how he felt in his return. >> i think it was cool. other than that for my first game being back, the most important thing is we got the win. that was key. like i always said before in the past, like when i come off of injury if i'm going to be out here thinking about it that means i don't need to be out there playing because i'm limiting myself and thinking about that too much is hurting my teammates. i just go out and play basketball and try ton think about it at all. wizards back to work on friday hosting the clippers. revenge game for them. but looking forward to sunday's second to last home game of the season for the redskins. they're trying to put their last two losses behind them. fans frustrated with the team's recent performances. but inside the locker room the

get to them. but the big news out of the park, quarterback josh norman not taking part in practice. he's dealing with a knee injury according to head coach jay gruden. not sure his status for this sunday's game against the cardinals. a frustrating few weeks for the burgundy and gold. just 1-4 in their last five games. playoff hopes gone. but quarterback kirk cousins knows this team has to forget all that and not dwell on the past. >> there's no doubt you that do need to hit the reset button a little bit, move forward and not allow anything emotionally to linger and you know, that's where we talk about being mentally and emotionally tough. mentally and emotionally tough people are able to do that. it's human nature to kind of let stuff linger or get yourself in a pattern that's negative, and we just can't do that. we have to rise above it. i think that's why we're professionals. we have to be able to do tha

against arizona. i've seen it on twitter. i don't know about you guys. but certainly these fonz are hanging on to the last two weeks. everyone just has to flush it. >> very good to have john wall back. >> yeah. you've got to flush the losses. >> i'll flush it. i think the whole
