winchester was 28 last hour, now up to 32. 37 right now in manassas. 37 in huntingtown. we'll see most areas drop into the upper 30s. the farther we go down, though, the more chances we have for? fog. that's something to think about. no rain. i don't think we'll see any rain tonight. but we do have a chance of rain tomorrow. look what's happening. this is a classic xham pl of cold air damming where the cold air lines aup long the mountains and off to the east. 43 d.c., 44 in philly. look at the warm air really trying to push up. 60 in morgantown, 46 in pittsburgh. just amazing. that warmer air will make its way our way. it's been on the cold side with these roller coaster temperatures. we were at the bottom and we were staying there. now we're starting to see that warmer air push in. this jet stream is the same one that brought that storm in across parts of california. now bringing us the storm and bringing us some very warm air associated with it too. but the cold air will come right back. that warm air, it's not sticking around long at all. and really, we've got two days of it. here's to

cloud cover around the area. notice by 5:00 starting to see? rain in our southwest zones. by 8:00 we've got some rain back toward the blue ridge. i do think we're going to get through the rush without much of a problem but we could see a few problems toward the end of the rush. in the overnight thursday night here's 11:00, not much going on, but watch this. boom. here comes a lot of rain. in here by 6:00, 7:00, 8:00 early friday morning. that's going to coincide with the early morning rush. then around 1:00 in the afternoon really around noon we're going to get a little bit of a break. i don't think we'll see any sun. if we do it's going to feel great out there. we're going to get some wind. temperatures will get into the mid 60s. we're dry most of the day and then the rain moves back in overnight friday night. so you'll need the umbrella as you step out to dinner. you won't need the coats, though, on friday but you'll need them quickly. much warmer temperatures on friday. rain early and then again late. put away the coats but not for long. put them in the closet but not deep in the closet because you need them by

dry, and it's cold on sunday into monday. high temperatures in the 30 degree range with wind chills in the 20s. it looks like a pretty good chance of some snowfall next tuesday and wednesday. not a big storm at all. so do not get your hopes up for that just yet. >> all right. >> we'll try to enjoy the warmer temps while we can. >> let's go back to tim and see how he's doing. coming up, we've got sports next. the wizards aren't exactly jazz fans. plus, madness at mason. the patriots pull off some magic at the buzzer. >> sports next. but first here's jimmy fallon. >> hey, guys, we're playing catchphrase with saoirse

final seconds of the quarter. check this play out. while on the drive, attacks the basket, loses the basketball, gets it back and beats the buzzer. you don't see that every day. not something that john wall is -- he's always used to doing that. game-high 35 for john wall. wizards in control. but that control didn't last. under 2:00 to play. wiz up one. pass to ricky rubio in the corner. knocks down the three. led the way for utah by 21. jazz take the lead. 7.6 left. wizards down three. beal can't get the shot off. can't pick it up. it's a turnover. that's how tends. wizards lose to the jazz 107-104. but the play of the night took place in fairfax. george mason hosting st. joe's. patriots down one. five seconds left. otis livingston decided he wants to be the hero. three at the buzzer. finishes with 25 points. madness at mason. george mason wins it
