>> across our area today, boy scouts collected food for people in need. this is the second phase of the annual scouting for food. last week boy scouts delivered bags to hundreds of homes in the washington area. today they went back to collect those bags filled with food. one of the sites was a safe way store on piney branch road in northwest washington. safe way stores throughout the area took part in this. the capital area food bank will distribute the food to more than 700 agencies in our area. >> i'm really happy to see that the boys are participating in high numbers, getting a good sense of what it is to be hungry in our community. >> when you consider one in two

children right here, washington, d.c., our nation's capital, doesn't know where their next meal is coming from, that's staggering. it's staggering across here. so events like this, scouting for food, working with partners, as i said safe way and channel 9, makes such a difference to the lives of those across our region. >> wusa 9 was a proud sponsor of today's event. since its launch in 1987, the scouting for food program has collected millions of pounds of food items for people in this area in need. thousands of people turned out in nationals park today to raise money to help fight heart disease. the american heart association reminds us all the time that heart disease and stroke are this country's number one and number three killers. today's walkers made their way on a course that started and ended in nationals park to raise money to combat heart disease and stroke. wusa 9 were also proud sponsors

of this event designed to promote physical activity and heart-healthy lifestyles. >> that's something you care about very deeply as well. >> absolutely. most people know my story. i had a heart attack. started running. >> a great day for a run today. >> and the weather is cooperating. incredible. >> you've got to love great weather like this, especially on a holiday weekend when a lot of people want to get out and enjoy it. we'll extend this beautiful weather we had today through the rest of the three-day holiday weekend. let's take a look outside right now with the michael and son weather cam. a beautiful shot in northwest d.c. you can see that it is nice and clear out there. we don't have any weather issues overnight tonight. it's starting to get chilly though with the temperature of 48 degrees, dew point at 40 right now. light winds out of the northeast. at least we don't have so much of a wind chill factor overnight tonight. here's a look at our weather headlines. it will continue to be chilly tonight, but just seasonably chilly. no bone-chilling cold in our forecast for overnight tonight. then a beautiful sunday is ahead, but a cold front is on the way.

that's going to bring a change in our forecast once we get back into that shortened work week. so enjoy the beautiful weather while you have off from work. of course, i'm not one of those people who have off from work during the holiday weekend. you can get out there and enjoy it once again tomorrow. right now, it is 48 degrees in d.c., like i said. 44 in martinsburg. 44 in winchester. 50 in hagerstown. 43 degrees in cumbers town. oakland, the warm air is rising up leaving it colder at the surface. the higher elevations aren't cooling down as fast overnight tonight. our satellite and radar shows the next approaching cold front, the area of low pressure sitting there and spinning in the upper midwest and that will pull down some cooler air, but not bone-chilling cold in our forecast. in the meantime, we have the warm front on the way. and since we will be in the warm sector to the south of the warm front to the east of the cold front, we're going to continue to enjoy that beautiful warm dry weather over the next couple of days. overnight tonight, mostly

clear, not too cool as i mentioned before. 37 to 46 for your overnight lows with light winds becoming westerly. mostly sunny, very nice tomorrow morning. temperatures in the 40s. so you'll need that jacket, but you can ditch the jacket in the afternoon. mostly sunny, even milder than today. nice pleasant weather with temperatures in the upper 60s for most of us. let's take a look at that zone forecast. you'll see temperatures in the upper 60s in places like manassas where it will get up to 67 degrees tomorrow. 60 in cumberland. not too bad. lots of sunshine here. a light breeze from the south and southwest helping to keep those temperatures nice and mild for us. 68 in annapolis. 68 in d.c. and andrews air force base. 67 in georgetown. if you're heading out for the ravens game, they're playing the raiders. highs around 70 degrees at the stadium. so i don't think you'll need the jacket for that 1:00 kickoff. we're going code green for the next couple of days. a few showers possible late on monday. this is not a daytime thing. as that cold front approaches, so we'll keep it dry for both

sunday and monday. beautiful temperatures in the 60s. but then we cool it down in the 50s by tuesday, because of the front moving through. the showers, maybe even a rumble of thunder as that front moves through on tuesday. cooler weather will persist as the front moves out. temperatures back into the mid- 50s for highs, but lots of sunshine in the forecast on wednesday and thursday. and looking ahead to next weekend, a chance for another storm system. another one that could bring us a little bit of light rain on saturday. >> all right. >> everybody here hoping alabama lost the game. it was a great game. >> great game. texas a&m, johnny football, their quarterback there. young buck leading the way. it's a big college football saturday around here, too. maryland living a harsh reality. no real quarterback, no chance. clemson opens the woodshed up and maryland walks right on in. an ugly loss. wait until you see the ending of the virginia/miami game

that. guy right there was balling, good stuff. speaking of good stuff, the nats knock off a good man. it's all coming up next in sports.

>> well, it's big news and then again you sort of saw this coming. the nationals thought all along that davy johnson was the right man to lead this young team.

when the season ended, signing him was priority number one. consider priority number one complete. the team announced today they signed him to a one year jail. the 70-year-old johnson will remain with the season and remain with the team after that. we have some unfinished business to attend to. i have a feeling this upcoming season will be filled with many memorable moments. here's why they want him back. 138 and 107 with the nats, including a league high 98 regular season wins for this year. his predecessor not that good, 140 and 172. johnson one of the favorites for the manager of the year that will be named this week. wizards, look at randy whitman. wow. it's saturday, though, so i guess the bank is open. bradley bill, he even has a laugh himself. young buck had a pretty good game, 17 points. turnovers killing the wiz. gerald green grants that orange

in a flush, wizards drop to 0 and 5. 89-85, the final tonight. well, count alex ovechkin as one who's -- nhl player rep is holding up the process so he shot back today tweeting clown. tell it all, man. then he continued how about we get a deal done instead of making fun of donald fair. wow, to be continued, i guess. college football, poor maryland. no quarterbacks, no diggs today. now they begin a brutal stretch run to end the season. florida state, north carolina. today a trip to death valley to face clemson, one of the toughest places to play. shawn petty, talk about a guy being thrown into the fire, former linebacker. looks like a linebacker trying to throw there. he gives it up. crawford scoops and scores. maryland had 41 yards passing

and three turnovers. clemson quarterback boyd only had 8 completions. tigers went 35-7 at recess, maryland did get on the board. petty to campbell, but it was all all clemson. the terps now 4-5. great game in charlottesville. always a good smoke machine by the way, i wanted. virginia down in the fourth. watch the catch. the toe tap in the back of the end zone, that was jennings only catch of the day. cavs in the two-minute drill. jake mcgee, that catch is better. cruz shocked mccain. great finish today. west virginia reeling. they lost three straight. west virginia has given up an average of 50 points in the last four weeks. you think the redskins defense is bad? how about that? they lose 55-34 to west virginia -- or i should say to

oklahoma state. west virginia really struggling here. navy looking to win its sixth straight at troy state. but robinson says choo choo, and b. j. mckinney says i'll take that 62 yards. troy wins 41-31. navy falls to 6-4. all right, on to soccer now. d.c. united about to do something difficult. how about come back after a thrilling win and focus on the job at hand. not easy. the club won its first playoff game since 2007 in dramatic fashion on thursday. tomorrow they'll be short- handed in houston and here's why. that guy has a red card for an illegal tackle and then got tossed. that means you miss the nextgame. also without andy who threw a ball at a ref and a two-game penalty. down a level, maryland and umc set to play at the championship at the soccer plex in germantown tomorrow.

the terps beat unc in overtime at home. they know this is going to be must-see tv. >> this is a sexy one for sunday. it's what everybody wants to see and we're delighted that we're part of it. we have one of the great college -- probably the best college game of the year already this year. now it's time to recover and get ready for round on two. >> round two should be good. high school football, this is gonzaga's robby walker. looks like a runner to me. breaking tackles for the score. here comes taiwan deal. exchange rate is good. five touchdowns. 40-27, a massive win. >> a couple weeks ago, a bounce back like this, it's a tremendous victory for our program. i'm extremely proud of our boys. >> that's playoff game and they're heading on to take on

good council. finally, dunbar woodson for the right to go to the turkey bowl. criminalson tide played well today and actually won. they run down the punter here otter rant snap. then patterson going to punch it in. dunbar advances to the turkey bowl. they'll take on wilson who defeated anacostia this afternoon. >> thanks a lot, everybody. see you back here tomorrow.
