11:38 pm
it's possible, but not likely. >> reporter: mitt romney also traveled to iowa and pennsylvania where he cut into the president's lead. the election is so close, the president even joined president bill clinton in new hampshire, which holds just four of the 270 electoral votes needed to win. both the romney and obama campaigns are predicting a victory on tuesday, but the polls show a very tight race with no clear favorite. pollsters say if anyone has an edge, it's the president, because he needs fewer swing states to win the white house. >> i still think the electoral college is easier for the president to get to 270. it's not impossible for governor romney but all the pieces have to fit together for him. >> reporter: there are few undecided voters left, and the candidates know the race could come down to what does the best job getting their supporters to the polls. both candidates will continue

11:42 pm
we're only week nine. the skins were back home playing a one-win team that has struggled all season and playing in front of some of the best redskins of all-time so it was a special day for them. like you said, it was a game that they should have won, bruce. instead, robert griffin iii's body language says it all. what the heck happened today? for the second day in a row the offense put up one of its lowest production days, an embarrassing day. fans are calling for some serious personnel changes this week but rgiii doesn't agree with that. >> people are going to criticize you and criticize the coaches, criticize the players. they are going to say that a drastic change needs to be made but i don't feel that way. i feel it's on us, on the players to make sure we go out there and play. >> very disappointed, very emotional, just as everybody would be, so you go back and take a look at what made mistakes and what we need to do as a staff to improve to make
11:43 pm
sure we eliminate some of those mistakes. >> for us to become a downward trend right now is disappointing. hopefully we can get rejuvenated, reenergized, come back and play better. >> a very deep locker room. but shanahan said some things that has a lot of fans and players upset. he said when you lose a game like that, now you're playing to see who is going to be on your football team for years to come. stay ties stiesly the -- statistically the redskins can still make the playoffs, but it has a lot of people thinking he's already moved on to next year. >> is it's one things for us, the fans to say it, but another thing for the coach. >> especially week nine, november, you don't talk about evaluating your players or the team going forward in week nine. yeah, they're on a three-game losing streak. they've had some rough outings. but we saw some promise at the beginning of the season, so
11:44 pm
maybe this bye week hopefully they can right the ship but as your head coach to say that what does that do to the morale of the team. >> kristen, thanks a lot j. moving on, an alexandria family is desperately searching for a man missing for two weeks. hurricane sandy hindered search operations for 64-year-old mohammed yazdani. this morning fairfax police were able to resume the search. teams covered a park where bloodhounds first received the scent. he suffers from dementia. >> please, he's somebody's dad, he's somebody's brother, he's somebody's husband, he's some bed's near and dear friend. he doesn't pose a threat or danger to anyone. if anyone knows anything, we ask that you please, please call the cops. >> he has walked away before but fever for this long.
11:45 pm
he was wearing sweat pants and shirts when he was last scene. later tonight, joy comes in the middle of some difficult times. >> she is one heck of a story, that's for sure. >> the juxtaposition of the two is incredible. it gives you hope that there's always something good coming out of tragedy. >> a family addition in the middle of hurricane sandy. but just ahead, a toddler's visit to the pittsburgh zoo turns incredibly tragic. and we are tracking some very cold air moving into our region. we are going to see freeze warnings in effect for much of the northern and western suburbs of the district. that means that as we send the kids out to the bus stop, or if you're headed to the bus stop, you are going to need to bundle up and prepare for temperatures that will feel more like december than the middle of november. more details coming up in the seven-day forecast.

some 40,000 people were expected to run the new york city marathon but the event was canceled in the aftermath of hurricane sandy. today thousands of runners volunteered to show up for an unofficial race to raise money for hurricane victims. some made a loop around central park. others ran on staten island where the marathon should have started. they carried backpacks full of supplies to help victims. >> these marathoners, they're probably not even staten islanders, look would they're doing. >> the least we could do is to help them out in their time of need. >> the charity continued in hoboken, new jersey, where chefs donated their time to cook warm meals for residents left without power. that's good stuff. >> an entirely appropriate way to handle the situation given the circumstances, i believe. >> absolutely. and thank god everybody came to
11:55 pm
their senses and they didn't hold the official event. >> i think it would have diverted resources. >> something big this weak. >> we do have a coastal storm in the forecast. it's not going to be another sandy, but it is going to be something that will cause some weather problems for us later on in the week. let's take a look outside with the michael & son weather cam. a nice shot of the capital building. clear skies, 43 degrees, clouds lingering, but in general we have clear skies. the dew point all the way down to 28, and i'll tell you why that's significant in just a second. winds out of the north- northwest at 8. in our weather headline, we have very cold temperatures setting up shop for us overnight tonight. a freeze warning is in effect for the early morning hours tomorrow. that's from 4:00 to 8:00 a.m. it is because of those mostly clear skies. it allows the heat to radiate up into the atmosphere. dew points very low.
11:56 pm
those factors combine to give us cold temperatures, and that's why we have that freeze warning in effect for the northern and western counties to the north and west of the district. and it could be the first hard freeze of the season in some of those locations. we're already down into the thirpts hagerstown and leesburg. 39 in both of those places. winchester down to 36 already. 41 in frederick, 43 in downtown d.c., 43 also in pax river. we are dog see temperatures continue to fall through the overnight hours. you can see there isn't a lot of cloud cover here and the sprinkles in the pittsburgh area are not going to materialize into anything for us but we are keeping an eye on our next storm system. you can see it starting to bring some rain into iowa and missouri, and that will dive to the south, then make its way up the coast p line, and that's in our forecast for wednesday, not before election day, which is good news. you don't have to worry about the umbrella. overnight mostly clear, very chilly down to 28 in the
11:57 pm
suburbs, 37 downtown. monday morning make sure the kids have the winter coat on. not a light jacket. it is going to be cold with temperatures only in the 30s. a light wind out of the north- northwest, and that sunrise time now 6:40 a.m. our sunset time 5:03 p.m. tomorrow. mostly sunny, still chilly with highs between 46 and 52. we are going to take a look at the zone. pretty consistent here because we are going to see that light breeze out of the northwest 48 in martinsburg, 51 in leesburg, 50 in manassas and along the beltway we'll see temperatures in the low 50s. 52 in d.c. and andrews, 52 in annapolis and easton. those temperatures are going to remain on the cool side for the next several days. it looks like election day is going to be a cool one in some of our battleground states. we're taking a look at this because weather sometimes plays a part in how many people get out to the polls. in wisconsin, weather is not looking very good, especially
11:58 pm
in wausau. 41 degrees with a mixture of rain and snow. 41 in milwaukee as well. it will be nice and dry in ohio. cool, though, with all that sunshine temperatures only around 50. in new hampshire 35. back at home the threat for rain approaching from the south. so wilmington, north carolina, getting the rain on tuesday but the rest of us stay dry. our last battleground state, florida, the chance for thunderstorms, especially in the northern tiers of the state. in jacksonville, temperatures only in the six. green for monday and tuesday, but then on wednesday because of that approaching nor'easter with the strong winds and heavy rainfall we are going to see code yellow in effect for that day. in the seven-day outlook, we are going to see more of that rainfall from wednesday into
11:59 pm
thursday, and temperatures remaining very chilly here. it is going to be windy as well, especially on wednesday. so beach erosion is a concern on wednesday. all right, bruce? have to look out for your beach house. >> got it. >> keeping an eye on it four. for one northern new jersey family the memories of hurricane sandy will be bittersweet. as soon as they left for safer ground, hide dee's water broke where she was quickly taken to a hospital. that's where little jordan made her entry into the world two weeks early. >> everything is covered in the muck. everything smells of algae. >> to see all that really hard work and excitement and anticipation kind of get washed away, it was really devastating. >> i think it was pretty much crisis mode. we were like, okay, we have to do this, she's coming.
12:00 am
>> it kind of just gives you hope that there's always something good coming out of the bad. >> baby jordan weighed in at a healthy 7 pounds 2 ounces. we're told everybody is doing just fine tonight. just ahead on 9news, coach shanahan putting players on notice. kristen is up next.
