through it and every team has injuries specific team has down times during the season. but they fought through them and you know they have a goal. and they're working hard towards it. >> reporter: you know ryan zimmerman made the comment not too long ago that basically in 2012 you know the guys kind of went in blind and five guys that had playoff experience going in. but to now be back here two years later, how much more prepared do you feel like the unit is? >> i think they're money more prepared. i think maturity level is there. you know that little bit of experience goes a long way. and we can get off to a good start you know today and i think things will start rolling for them but i think the first game everybody is a little more nervous than that it will calm down. but this group is ready to go. >> reporter: yourself included with the nerves right? >> oh, yeah. i've been crazy nervous the last few days and i want to get off to a good start today but these guys i think will -- will do well. >> reporter: you mentioned matt williams there. just talk about what he has meant i mean just the job he has done coming in as a rookie manager and taken the team as

charter schools, and the need for jobs in the district. but the new poll released earlier this week by economic growth d.c. rlly had all them talking. that poll shows the gap between the candidates is getting smaller. it has bowser in first with 35%, catania in second with 27%. and schwartz in third with 11%. 27% are undecided. bowser did have a 17 point lead in a poll put out by the "washington post" last month. now of course, each candidate has their own take on the numbers. >> we have the best message because we have a record. we have the most progressive things that we have done over the last 20 years i'm proud to have been a champion of many of them. from marriage equality and smoke free d.c.. medical marijuana, cutting our rate of uninsured in half and the largest investment in the history of the city that's this year. i think people are responding to the message. >> we're going to stick to what people tell us on the doors out in the neighborhoods and at churches and grocery stores. they want a fresh start and they want a leader that's going

to bring the city together across all eight wards and we're looking forward to talking to them for the next 32 days and a big win on november 4th. >> i think the poll was very much of a push poll. i think that it -- wasn't a random poll and seemed to be targeted to certain groups. and so i don't think it was such an independent poll either. so i think it's sort of questionable. >> reporter: now this was the second debate for the candidates and they will debate a couple more times before the election next month. back to you. >> all right have necessary is a thank you. -- vanessa thank you. the famous jayson werth gnomes were hidden in the metro area yesterday. did you snag one? coming up we'll meet someone who did. >> get ready to fire up the furnace. howard is tracking some major changes when it comes to the first alert forecast. a little bit of chill coming ♪ ♪

6:45 on this friday morning. howard has a little bit of there ask a little bit of that and a little bit of that to talk about. >> keeps it kind of interesting doesn't it? a little bit of this that and the other thing. weather-wise today will be the warmest day of the weekend. i know a lot of people consider friday part of the weekend. let's show you what's happening outside because this is kind of cool andrea. a couple of breaks in the clouds and -- yeah. a little light out there now. sunrise about five, six after 7:00 a.m. and we will see temperatures climbing into the 70s. in fact let me give you a little hourly breakdown. by this morning we're in the 60s with a few 50s. lunchtime, 71 at national. upper 60s north and west. winds are going to pick up they're light this morning. southeast at 4 right? but look what happens as we get into the late afternoon and evening, now the sustained 10,

11-mile an hour gusts and 15, even 20 ahead of a front that's coming that could produce a shower this afternoon. better chance for tonight. for the nationals and giants, mid 70s for the first pitch at 3:07. just a slight chance or a shower and a south southeasterly wind at 5 to 10 miles per hour. weave got 61 in annapolis and rockville. 62 for arlington and oh upper marlboro at 58. to the west not much difference. upper 50s and low 60s. so fairly uniform air mass covering much of the region this morning. and kind of a neat sky in spite of the fact that we're mostly cloudy on the michael & son weather camera. it's dry. and i think it's going to be that way for much of the daylight hours, 66 degrees cloudy official at reagan national. a little bit of mug finesse to start scour -- mugginess to start your friday. temperatures regionally in the 50s and 60s and we have a little chill up in new england but i want to point out what's going on in the midwest. this teals the sign -- tells

the sign of what's coming our way. indianapolis is 67. behind the front chicago is in the up ears and into -- 50s and into northwestern iowa and minnesota, upper 40s and tomorrow night we're going to have a lot of temperatures here in the 40s and with even a few upper 30s. all thanks to this storm system and sort of see a little twist coming through chicago right now. little bit of an area of low pressure riding that front with the rain and the front itself extends down through tennessee now. it's approaching areas in eastern alabama and west georgia actually this line of storms ahead of the front. wind out ahead of this front are out of the south behind it, northwest and westerly. this is going to bring in that keeler shot -- cooler shot for the weekend. in the meantime high pressure in new jersey gives us a decent first half of this friday with clouds and some sun mixed but mild. again, 70s by lunchtime with highs in the mid 70s. shower threat, and i've seen other computer models that have this area of rain in cumberland at 3:00. more toward the blue ridge. so i'm hoping that you know we're staying a little bit slower here because the timing of this would work out

excellent for the nationals. it would work out very well for high school football tonight. futurecast wants to keep the showers i-81 west and potentially could be a little bit further east but i think the bulk of the high school football games here in the metro will be okay especialliest of town. by tomorrow morning, early risers could still be dealing with some showers and especially east of us but look what happens mid to late morning. here at 9:00 the bulk of the rain east of the bay and pulling away. with a colder west northwesterly wind blowing in spite of fact we'll go partly sunny behind the front tomorrow. temperatures are going to struggle to get to 70 in washington. and some areas may stay in the 60s and then tomorrow night, these winds will relax some and that will allow temperatures to drop off by sunday morning into the 40s in many areas with some 30s even north and west. so if you've been keeping the furnace off or haven't fired it up i think this is the weekend you will need to. test it today just to make sure. 76 this afternoon. stray afternoon shower better chance for showers overnight.

65 for the low. tomorrow only around 70 with the early shower. breezy and cooler. low to mid-60s on sunday. pleasantly cool. get over to the orchard and get some apples or pumpkins and then monday back into the 70s as the redskins host the seahawks. beverly? howard we have some problems out on the roadways this morning. friday light we're not having it. where i've got too many complications out there to deal with. do have a metro rail complication now too just getting word there's a train broken down. relate line near white flint and going to single track near gofer and twin brook as a result. the early morning problems cleared out of the way in bethesda. victim for you on the outer loop in oxon hill 66 early morning troubles we have between manassas and centreville are out of the way and 395 southbound crash near duke street along the left side is one they had in shirlington cleared out of the way. let's go to sky 9 for the problem we've had well two problems we've had. stretch of 198 between burtonsville and i-95. there was a crash on 19 # near mcknew road just east of 29.
