Im glad you explained what she was pointing to. People were wondering. Some of the wind chills are in the Single Digits. Checking web cams. Asond you tell im excited ab is it that obvious. Weather wise, lets get the day planner up. Another cold day. Not as biting as yesterday because we dont have the winds. Generally clear skies, a cold one. 35 by lunch time. Increasing loud later on with 36 at 5 00. Up to 38 today. That means mid 30s for the San Francisco 49ers and the redskins for tonights game. Here come the clouds. You see them toward West Virginia now, southwestern areas of virginia, moving toward us. Thats why were going to see high thin clouds but theyll thicken up late. Temperatures down to 15 in martinsburg. Its 10 in oakland. Its 18 in culpeper. 22 in la plata and 26 across the bay in easton and cambridge. As far as this afternoon, sunshine with fading behind the clouds. 42 fredricksburg. 38 in frederick and here in d. C. Here comes monika with timesaver traffic. A crash in oakton, virginia on germantown road east of route 123. Ive been trying to see how you can get around it and maybe just stick to courthouse road as your alternate route. If youre planning to head through that area, youllle have to follow Police Direction. Again thats germantown road east of route 123 in oakton is shut down with the crash. 66 is not affected. It looks great coming in from manassas to centreville. Lets take a live look outside and here at the American Legion bridge on the west side of town. If youre heading from bethesda into tysons or want to use 66, youre going to be fine. Lets take another look at the maps. This time over to the bw parkway and route 50 through cheverly.

C. , you know that these cameras mistake but this morning there are new cameras around town and theyre not just set to catch speeders and red light runners. Delia goncalves joins us live with details on who else theyre after. Good morning. Reporter good morning. It depends on who you talk to but it seems like theyre after each and every one of us but they do say the ultimate goal is all about public safety. And there is a record of success. Here we are live at 45th and mccomb and nestled in this neighborhood is this lovely silver box. Its a camera that you may see in a lot of these little neighborhoods and it will probably surprise you. This is a stop sign camera. It will flash and catch you if you fail to come to a complete stop at this intersection. So how did the city decide to place these certain cameras in certain neighborhoods . Well, they said they did studies and also got input from the community. Lets take a closer look at some of the cameras throughout the city. Dozens of them ar around the district. And they will catch drivers rolling through a stop sign, failing to stop for a pedestrian at a crosswalk, or blocking the box. Blocking the intersection. The cameras even have sensors inside that will identify oversized vehicles illegally driving through some d. C. Neighborhoods. I think the cameras are a good idea. I think its terrible. It probably prevents some accidents but its kind of i kind of feel like 1984 a little bit. Making a turn is different. Its you have no choice if youre in the middle of the intersection because you cant back up. If you run a yellow light and if youre in the box and the light turns red, you should get a ticket. Reporter you can hear a lot of people have varying opinions about what is an infraction and what deserves a ticket but guess what . These tickets will cost you 50 to 300. However, dont panic. If you a little flash and you tense up and youre driving away, there is a grace period right now for drivers going through this time of transition. You will get a warning right now but come december 30, those tickets will be real. Well have much more on the Science Behind these cameras coming up at 5 30. Mike, andrea, back to you. Science. And the bottom line. Thank you, delia. Friends and coworkers gather to remember a postal worker who was shot and killed while he was on the job this weekend. Someone gunned down 26yearold Tyson Barnette of Upper Marlboro on saturday while he was at work. Barnette was on his assigned route in landover delivering mail along reed street when i was shot several time. Prince georges county police are offering a 25,000 reward. The u. S. Postal Inspection Service has put up a 100,000 reward in this case. 25 degrees right now but it because even colder last night. Imagine trying to survive outside in these below freezing temperatures. Now a new report finds a nationwide drop in homelessness doesnt apply when it comes to the district. The u. S. Department of housing and urban development says the number of Homeless People in d. C. Is up 29 over the last six years. There is a bit of encouraging news. The report also found only about 7. 5 of the citys Homeless Population is ununshelterred. More than 20 d. C. Foster children now have a pement home as we head into the permanent home as we head into the Holiday Season. Their adoptions were finalized this weekend as part of the annual d. C. Adoption day. The new parents and siblings were celebrated in a d. C. Supreme court. The organizers are hoping Public Events like these will help encourage other people to consider adopting foster children. According to d. C. Child and tharlatest your money hildren report it is 5 06. Time for your latest money report of the morning. Wall street starts today after another record week. The Dow Jones Industrial average starts this morning back above 16,000, second day in a row. The s p 500 also hit a record high on friday closing north of 1800. Checking the numbers the dow was up big time on the day at 54 points. It starts this morning at 16,064. The s p 500 was better by almost 9 and the nasdaq was up by 22 and a half. This week on your mark, get set and shop. On thursday walmart will open its doors at 6 00 p. M. Toys r us opens at 5 00 p. M. And of course this is just the beginning. Black friday still draws the biggest numbers. 46 of us will hit the sales and 34 of shoppers will be back in stores this upcoming weekend, thanksgiving weekend and then of course we have cyber monday, just around the corner, a week away. Last year cyber monday, tuesday, wednesday and thursday were all over a billion dollars in sales online. So you think with those types of numbers this is going to be a pretty good year in the Gift Department but this Holiday Season americans may not spend the green unless they see more red. Despite signs that the economy is improving, big store chains dont think americans are going to plunk down the cash unless they see huge discounts so you are likely to see big sales events earlier and more often than previous Holiday Seasons. Some people are just saying dont buy anything that isnt on sale this year because the deals, they are out there. Youd hate to buy full price and see it slashed. What do you have for us the next halfhour . Were going to take a look at the fight over d. C. s minimum wage. Its heating up yet again. Well talk about that in 30 minutes. Jess, thank you.

You might want to use white granite drive to get around all the activity. Back you to guys. Thank you, monika. At 5 11, heres a look at whats new this morning. At least eight deaths are blamed now on the deadly winter storm marching across the u. S. The storm started out late last week in Southern California and deadly weatherrelated crashes have been reported from there into the countrys midsection. Now moving through the southeast, the storm is expected to arrive in our area tomorrow. Authorities in indonesia are expanding the evacuation perimeter around a rumbling volcano. A mile and a Half Mountain erupted again sending a column of ash. Another mile into the air. The indonesian government is setting up some more temporary shelters as villages far from the volcano are being forced to get empty. Thursday the comet ison could put on an anaysing show. It will pass 130,000 miles of the sun and the heat could destroy the comet. If it survives this close encounter, its expected to be one of the brightest things in the night sky next month. A degree or two could make a pretty big difference for d. C. Area families heading out for thanksgiving. Thats because most of us will get cold rain but some will see wintry precipitation. Howard joins us next with the sevenday we were just discussing the fact, everybody seems to have a weather page right now. A lot of people say theres going to absnowstorm next to be a snowstorm next week. Yeah, but probably not here. Ive been consistent with that and still feel that way. I have a lot of questions. There are other people out there who see 55 different forecasts. You got it right over the weekend. So go forward. Were going to have a lot of rain coming up, especially tomorrow into tomorrow night. There may be a brief period of some wintry mix north and west tomorrow morning and wednesday afternoon we may see snow u wha were looking at temperatures this morning which are down in the teens and 20s. By this afternoon, mid to upper 30s. Lucky ones get to 40. And the winds thankfully not too bad, south winds 5 to 10 miles an hour. By tonight were back in the middle 30s. Thats a cold night for football. Weve got some for you. Mid30s, partly if not mostly cloudy with the 49ers in town. Kickoff at 8 40. The south winds only 5, maybe 10 miles an hour. So a lot more comfortable for the redskins fans than the ravens fans had yesterday. 19 right now in williamsport. 16 in charlottesville. Even raleigh they have 20 degrees. Charleston at 17. A really, really cold morning for late november. A cold morning for january or february at that matter. 21 now in germantown to 23 at joint base andrews. Fairfax at 19. 22 in waldorf andle up in baltimore. Outside looking at Reagan National on our weather camera. A cold, there. 24, clear skies, feeling like 15. The air bone dry. This is the sign of an arctic air mass. When you get the Single Digits and subzero dew points, cold, dry air. But when you look around the rest of the country, theres the arctic air in canada. We dont see the really cold stuff. Thats one of the things that tells me were likely going to be quickly switching over to anything. If it doesnt start as rain, quickly switching over to rain tomorrow. Clouds increasing out of the west this afternoon. Well see some high cloudiness at times today. Youll notice as we go through the day, here we are at 5 00. Still some breaks. Tonight the clouds thicken up. Perhaps a rain or snow shower mixing in before morning but tomorrow here comes the surge of moisture with the rain down in charlottesville, getting into the Shenandoah Valley by 6 00 a. M. Here, west of the blue ridge, better chance well see some mix tomorrow in the morning. As we go toward lunch time, even just west, northwest of d. C. , potentially a little bit of sleet mixing in. Thwe as get into the afternoon, the warm air builds in and the rains pick up tomorrow afternoon, tomorrow night before the system starts to wind down some with lingering showers wednesday and those rain showers wednesday may actually finish as snow showers. Today increasing clouds, 38. Going to keep yellow alerts up not just tomorrow but wednesday as well with the threat for rain maybe mixing to snow showers before the day is over. But a heavy rain at times tomorrow. Were looking at potentially 2 to 3 inches of rain tomorrow and wednesday in many areas from this system. By thursday were all done, just windy and colder, 38. The ravens are home thursday night. Thats a cold one. Dry and milder through sunday. Monika . Theres a crash right now on the outer loop of the beltway. It is after Georgia Avenue but only a single vehicle involved. No lane information given yet. So just be aware of that on the outer loop of the beltway after Georgia Avenue in silver spring.

Highs 35 to 40. Good morning, everybody. Well, sports fans, get to work. Then get home and get settled in. Tonight is a big night in the Nations Capital. If its going to happen for the redskins, tonight is the night. Forget about a sixgame winning streak. How about one in a row. Thats been difficult for the redskins this season. They get their chance in the spotlight on monday night football. Robert griffin, kaepernick, sounds like must see tv. Now its just tv. This is a lost year and its essentially lights out but well have plenty of coverage as the day goes o. How about the Baltimore Ravens . They did exactly what weve become accustomed to them doing. Yesterday winning ugly. The ravens nsoffee didnt wow anybody but did enough. Joe flacco and torrey smith hooked up a couple of plays and jacoby jones caught the only big play of the game. Yesterday we had really good basketball. Georgetown taking on bcu in san juan. Devontay smith, 26 points, three of them right there. Georgetown and bcu in a tough one. The swoop to the hoop. Georgetown wins by 4. Finally, maryland took a little travel trip to the Virgin Islands to face northern iowa. Big josh layman going up and down. Terrapins pull it away late to win 8066 yesterday.
