>> yeah. >> this time it's going to be a hard fast surface fast? >> yes. there will be a couple of sun flurries or sprinkle tomorrow night. nothing that would divot up the field like that. ing anything that helps the redskins out. maybe they need to put some divots in that thing. there is not much in the way of moisture for sure. that's going to be a pretty good field. let's start with the redskins forecast. we might as well jump to 4:30 on sunday when the seahawks come to town and fans that were out there last sunday for the 8:30 game i know it was so cold. this time there will be a few clouds but it will be a cool dry evening. good tailgate weather. i think kickoff temperature could be 42 degrees. we will drop to 38 degrees. so you will definitely still need layers, but it's going to be a lot better. saturday we will go back one day to get you caught up on the weekend here. looks like it will be 42 degrees tomorrow with a good amount of sunshine. late in the day a deck of clouds comes through. it will be a very weak system in the upper levels of the atmosphere. as it passes through late saturday night into the first part of sunday it could squeeze out maybe some sprinkles south and east of d.c. or some flurries from d.c. north and west. definitely in the no big deal category. our temperatures sunday about 44 degrees. so not bad at all. today's temperature 46. doeslis getting to 44. dwi thorough good marshall 42. yesterday we didn't crack the 40-degree mark. that felt a little bit better. lots of sunshine. but a bit of a breezy out there tonight. even so temperatures are warmer than they were at this hour last fight. 36 degrees in gaithersburg. also in frederick. 34 for martinsberg. also for winchester and hagerstown. here in the district at 43 degrees. so a little bit of a breeze out there. still some colder 20s lurking on the other side of the mountains and they will be back again tonight for another cold overnight. the air is very dry. it's going to be clear and it will be cold as we head down into the 20s. there were a couple of spots in the teens again last night. we may do that again tonight. but i'm thinking it will be mostly low 20s far to the north and west. 21 for hagerstown. 28 the anticipated low here in the district. so we'll call it fair and cold with some late day clouds in the forecast for us tomorrow. we could get up to 42 degrees. and again that west-northwest wind at 5-15. so we won't call that windy but you will notice a breeze from time to time and you will also notice some clouds coming in late in the day tomorrow. as mentioned we will start out with a lot of sunshine. 30 degrees. so a chilly start. mostly sun at noon. 1 4-1 degrees. by 4:00 clouds coming in. our temperature 40. it will be later than that when we may see actually a couple of flurries here and there. temperature-wise around the region tomorrow 40 for gaithersburg. 41 for annapolis. 47 for culpepper. just a quick look at some of the clouds that are coming in now. the moisture that we see very late saturday night will be a combination of some energy coming up from the south combining with a very weak system up to our north. here is your accuweather 7-day forecast. we're talking about temperatures that are going to take us into the low 50s by perhaps tuesday or wednesday of next week. still keeping us dry to thursday, brian. some indications that some storms may be getting formed up in the middle part of the country that will send mild air in this direction. did you see that 55 on friday? we will see how that pans out next week. coming up scott smith one-on-one with mike shanahan talking about his rookie gem in the backfield. this ice rescue is amazing. two teenagers clung to a tree after the ice on a frozen lake in arizona started cracking. each lost a shoe as they scrambled out to run the breaking ice. brothers ended up using hats to cover their bare feet. the boys hung on for four hours until firefighters came to the rescue. welcome back to redskins park. i am scott smith where it's week 18 of the redskins season. week one of the playoffs. the redskins still making some moves today. they moved d.j. johnson to the reserve/injured list and they put cedric griffen, defensive back cedric griffen back on the a active roster for the first time in four weeks. he served a four-game suspension. nice to have him back. he will certainly help that defensive backfield. alfred morris. how about the year he has had? he has been the steel of last april's draft. the sixth round pick shattered the team's single season rushing record at 1600 yards. last sunday his 33 carry 200-yard 3 touchdown performance against the cowboys earned him the nfc offensive player of the week. last year mike shanahan's staff actually coached morris in the senior bowl. today i asked mike shanahan how much did that play a fact are with him being a redskin? >> if you don't coach in that game, is he on your team? >> yeah. he is definitely on our team. we really didn't get anything from the senior bowl. we knew he was a nice kid. he came in midweek because whoa lost a fullback. he practiced as a fullback. we looked at his college film and they were a 1-11 football team. they weren't very good. you could see, man, this guy has some running skills because they weren't as talented as the other team yet you would see a four and five yard run and it would stand out. so you break down the film our coaches studied and we thought he would be a guy who could compete for a job. obviously, we were wrong. we didn't know he was going to be -- could be one of the best players in the national football league. >> the seahawks answer to morris is marshawn lynch. he has been given the nickname beastmode. the five foot5'11" 220-pound running back was acquired in december. just 23 yards behind morris who is second. i asked deangelo hall where lynch stands in the hire arcty of nfl running backs. >> he is right at the top of that list. he is right at the top of that list. we've known that over the past couple of years. even in buffalo, man, i thought he was a hell of a running back then. i didn't understand why they got rid of him. one man's trash is another man's treasure. when we played adrian peterson, you know, marshawn lynch is that same kind of guy. will bring that same kind of intensity to the game for him, too. so, you know, it's nothing special you do. but like i said, you always have to know where he is. you know, we got to get as many guys around him as possible because one time is going to have a hard time bringing him down. >> it's a big sunday on fox5. start thing at 3:30 our special pregame show. lindsay, doc myself, we will break it down. at 4:30 kickoff between the seahawks and the redskins. round one of the playoffs. we will follow it up with a postgame show. the redskins happen to be the only home team playing this week and it is actually the underdog. to hoops now. a programming note. maryland and virginia tech will lock horns on our sister station tomorrow at noon. wdca my 20. the wizards take on andray blatche and the brooklyn nets. and 8:00 tonight on fox it's at cotton bowl between oklahoma and how about johnny football?
