ryan are to rain was unable to play monday night. he couldn't get loss before the

hence, he plays football. no matter how much he spins it, he is a low character guy. can you never rely on him. he is not a hard worker. to me, it was the norm. we've seen him quit. we've seen him on the sidelines. we have aseen him on a stretcher. we've seen him taking oxygen. >> i think the listeners are done with albert. i think we're done with him. i think we expect for him to dog it on plays. i don't think he will be here next year. shanahan probably doesn't want him. i think the listeners are kind of over albert i can't the good news, dave, is i think he is an exception to the rule. i think there are a ton of quality guys. you can go on and on. quality people, not necessarily great players. we have of the worst defense in the league right now. >> i don't think this team quit on monday night. they just got beat. it was one of those things where it snowballed. 15 minutes in, you are down 35- 0 and from there on out, they

were trying to hang on. >> they were up against a buzz saw monday night. i don't think any team in the league would have been able to with stand what the eagles brought to fedex field on monday night. >> but haines worth going back to tennessee now. can we seen something that we haven't seen. he talked about his brother would had passed away. the first time he is going back. i talked to him on wednesday. he seemed genuine to me. i still think he cares but you guess you guys don't think he does anymore. >> when he talk to the media, that is the persona he gives off. i don't know if that is the way he is when he gets on the field. i know he snarls like a lion before the game. maybe he is giving what he considers 100% effort. you don't expect him to have a huge game. >> it doesn't burn inside him. remember how much he charmed us when he came into town. we were like wow, look at this guy.

he wants to be the next reggie white. >> he is charismatic when he wants to be. >> what he wants to be. >> he hasn't made many plays. how many plays as he made? >> not enough. >> he hasn't been on the field. >> we'll tick can around -- we'll kick it around. we'll talk about mike shanahan. art fans and are the junkies still in. let's go back to the station for now. >> thank you, dave. we'll see you next hour. time to talk a little business here. good news is temperatures up a couple of degree since we went on the air this morning. >> here in d.c., temperatures in the low 40s. elsewhere, we are in the 30s. still a cold start to the day. it is cold out. >> it will wake you up. pretty clear skies. we'll start with the current temperatures around region. show you what is going on outside. first of all, as steve said here in d.c., 41 degrees. we were at 38 not that long ago. 41 now.

41 in annapolis, quantico is at 36 degrees. gaithersburg, 34. dulles airport, 32 degrees. you will see what is going on across the region. 35 in pittsburgh. new york city, 41 degrees. the cold air is here in place. it will be hanging with us for today at least and then we'll have a little bit of a warm-up. take a look at the satellite- radar composite. and what we are seeing across the region is mostly clear skies. we've got clear skies just outside of our studios here. one of the planets up there, i don't know which one it was. mostly clear skies for the day today. nothing in the way of precipitation. things look good. the forecast for today looks like this. mostly sunny skies. cool this afternoon. 52 for your high. a cold night across the region. temperatures in the 30s. clear skies and then for your five-day forecast, pardon me,

cool today, we bounce up tomorrow, 60 degrees for saturday. and nice and sunny. sunday, 56-degree for your high and then we warm up monday and tuesday. temperatures will be in the 60s. >> okay. >> upper 60s for tuesday. >> very nice. >> not bad at all. all right. pardon me, i'm having trouble catching my breath here. that is what is happening with the weather. time now for ask the weather guys, the segment where tucker barnes and i put our big heads together to answer your most pressing questions, weather- related or otherwise. today's question comes from willie and elizabeth. actually being they have two questions. this is why i'm having trouble breathing because i'm nervous about this. they were impressed with our prediction from last year. they want to know tucker and i's thoughts on this season's first snowfall. they want to talk about naming storms, tropical storms and hurricanes. how far down the alphabet we've

ever gotten when naming hurricanes. what is the farthest we've gotten. we'll answer the second one first. this season, a very busy season. it doesn't seem like it because i think the u.s. was only impacted by one hurricane this year. most of them avoided us but it was a busy season. tucker has some of the stats on that. >> 19 named storms makes for the third busiest season in the last 20 years or so. so it's been very busy out there. we have not exhausted the alphabet. we are still in hurricane season. there is nothing going on. there is a little piece of energy there to the east of belize and guatemala and that will continue. it looks like tomas will probably be our last storm of the year. >> nineteen named storms. it ties us for third place with 1995 and 1887. will yes and elizabeth, the

most named storms we had were in 2005 when we had 28 named storms. that is the year of katrina, a very busy year. now, you are wondering, 28 think that is more than the alphabet. you may remember once we get through the list of 21 planned names and it is only 21 because there is no q, u, x, y or z then we go to the greek alphabet. this year we did have storms and hurricanes named alpha and beta and gamma and the like because of how busy it was. 28 is the record in 2005. >> let's get to the tough question. >> when we believe we will see our first snowfall. last year, i think we said dece >> yeah. >> we were right. absolutely right. so who wants to go first? here is what we're going to do. we'll tell you our guesses. we have not consulted with each other. i'll tell you when i think we'll see our first snow flurries and then the more

surable snow. the first snow flurry, i'll say december 19th. >> flurries on december 19th. >> yes. >> what do you say? >> i'll say next friday. >> what? >> that's right. november the 26th, next friday. i think out to the west, some of our viewers will see the first flakes of the season. >> i could say that too. >> how far are we going. >> i'm talking gurvir territory. >> that is not -- >> i'm atalking about washington. >> how about we talk about reagan national. >> what did you go with for reagan national, first snowflake. i'm going next friday anyway. >> first measurable snow, an inch or more, i'll go with january 6th. >> late in the season. >> it is a little bit late. >> i've consulted with the crystal ball, you've looked at weather patterns, the nao, if you are into that kind of thing. going negative in a big way the end of november and that tells

me the first more -- measurable snow will be december 15th. >> you say flurries right around that time. he is saying the first measurable snow. >> i think we'll get a good amount of snow this year but i think it will start late. >> he is going with smile models. >> i am guessing. i'm going with my gut which has usually served me well. we'll keep track of these. >> my gut would tell me to go with tucker over you at this point. >> if you want to go with science, go ahead. thank you, will yes and elizabeth. if you have a question that you want answered go to myfoxdc.com and click on the weather tap. >> julie wright may join me but as soon as we get done, i'm putting in a vacation request for january #th -- january 6th just in case you are a right -- you're right. >> i love the snow but i am really hoping if a mild winter. >> i think we'll have an average winter or a little bit above. we'll see. >> let's check in with julie.

she has her hands full. >> i have a got january 6th, november 19th, vacation request forms here. >> she's got them filled out already. >> there is like a hundred of them here. oh, my gosh. steve is right. before alet -- a lot going on right now. we have the remains of the car fire. if you are coming southbound, it was the two right lanes that were tied up at the scene and right now, we've got some traffic that is able to get by. a little bit of it is still poking out there in the far right lane as you continue southbound. for the most part, the interstate has been reopened. big delays as you continue southbound out of germantown. so again, car fire still in the process of being cleared off of the the of 270. look for delays leaving father hurley boulevard. that's a check of your fox 5 on-time traffic. a long day for a lot of people who stood in line for harry potter and the deathly
