however, what about these filings? well, the campaign explains that groups which work in kind with the campaign for things like door to door canvassing or data, have to make these kinds of filings. however, you talk to the group of american commitment that first uncovered this and they'll say that explanation just doesn't hold water. the reasoning is right there on the filing. it says media. it does not say data or canvassing. >> i mean i think it shows a remarkable level of mendacity. he wanted an over the top attack on his opponent and wanted to be able to deny it after the fact. >> reporter: fox5 spoke with ed gillespie about this ad this week. he said it was despicable and makes his supporters look like murderers and rapists. ralph northam will be here in northern virginia tonight. he's got a schedule

tomorrow. high temperatures in the upper 70's. i bet we'll be seeing an 80-degree or two around the area this time tomorrow. i just have a feeling out ahead of a front it's going to be nice and warm. a shower is possible late day with this front that's coming through tomorrow but it's just a sprinkle. it's nothing major. the weekend however is going to start very different than the weather that we're having today, kind of dreary cloudy and cool with drizzle. sunday shows improvement and we also fall back sunday night so that extra hour of sleep but then sunset by sunday afternoon only going to be at about 5:00 p.m. speaking of the leaves mostly high color especially north and west of 95. moderate south and east including here in washington but this weekend and even into early next week i think will be the best for color before we start to see those leaves just fall off. temperatures right now take a look at this. we've come down from earlier high temperatures in the mid 70's but it's 71 in washington, 75 in manassas, 75 in culpeper. it's beautiful. satellite and radar just showing a few clouds drifting north and west of us. not really anything to speak of along this front. it is going to come through mostly dry as it approaches tomorrow but we could see a shower

p.between2:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. mostly sunny with a few more clouds as that front approaches temperatures well into the 70's. here's that front by tomorrow morning you're seeing showers up in extreme western maryland central pennsylvania fizzles as it crosses the mountains. there's our rogue shower about 4 o'clock. just a sprinkle. then that front sinks southward and it looks like we see initial clearing friday night before the clouds roll back in on saturday. so here's your forecast. 60 degrees, that's really mild if you consider we started the week with temperatures in the morning in the 30's and 40's. 78 degrees for that high temperature tomorrow. it is beautiful sunny and warm with just an isolated afternoon shower. and changes for the weekend. clouds and drizzle on saturday, 59 degrees. so, our temperatures are barely going to move as we're entrenched with cold air damning right up against the mountains. 70 degrees with some afternoon sun on sunday so we do see that improvement. seven-day forecast, certainly on the rollercoaster through the weekend and into early
