few more showers popping up. so perhaps by late afternoon, it will be breaking up and then during the overnight hours, that colder air works its way in here. we clear out and because that colder air comes in and we clear out so efficiently, that is why there are freeze watches in effect for some of the counties up to the north. for places like frederick, maryland, hagerstown, cumberland, places like that. forecast for us looks like this. cloudy skies, showers likely as i just showed you. high 65 degrees becoming a little breezy as the day progresses. for tonight, early showers. breezy and cold overnight. the freeze watch is for well to the north and west. 42 for your overnight low. look at the breeziness, wind out of the north 15 to 20 miles per hour. five-day forecast, after a high in the mid 50s today. overfight lows in the 30s saturday into sunday and i want to go back and mention friday

into saturday, some of you will be in the 30s. halloween looks okay. not a great day but okay. a lot of clouds around. we do think it will be dry at this point. that is a look at what is happening with the weather. let's get to julie wright and get an update on traffic. >> i like it when it's dry because i don't want my milk duds to get mixed up with my twizzlers. >> are you still trick or treating in. >> yes. you didn't recognize me last year when i came knocking on the door. i was the big kid that you slammed the door on. that was me. a combination of volume and wet pavement contributing to the delays. outer loop of the beltway before you reach university boulevard at the northwest branch, m-d.o.t. on the scene of a stalled car. that is what is tying up the right lane. 66, volume increasing here as

well. leaving business 234 out of manassas headed in towards centreville. that's a check of your fox 5 on-time traffic. the redskins get hit with the injury bug. can the young receives step up in the absence of santana moss. we'll start with the that very question with the sports junkies. what a difference it makes. >> in a couple of weeks, guys are just dropping. you young are guys will have to step in and play. fred davis will see more ball as a tight end. gaffney by default backs the number one wide receiver. >> don't sleep on anthony armstrong. he started 11 games last year and he has been injured a little bit. he has had some opportunities here and there. i don't think he has quite capitalized on them yet. he he is a guy that could

stretch the field for the redskins. >> they added some depth but it was an underwhelming starting receiving corps to begin with with santana moss as your number one. nice guys. gate to have young guys produce but they don't have anybody elite. i would much rather that he do that than go out on the street and sign a guy like bernard barry. see what the young guys can do. >> we haven't even talked about the injuries on the offensive line. they are without their starting left guard for the year and trent williams out for another couple of week. i think that will come back to helicopter them. >> plus we've benched our quarterback for ineffectiveness. this team is in turmoil. >> that's what you wanted to see. >> maybe so. >> this is the one season i think in the last couple of years that there was some depth to this roster but we've gone through it. we are pretty much to the point where one or two more injuries and you have to make some change. my thought process has always

been and this is nothing against fred davis, think he is fantastic talent but any time you have any nfl team where you are building your offense around a tight end, you have some work to do. >> unless it is like an antonio gates, then yeah, i agree with you. >> the disappointing thing, we are talking about the offense and that is natural. the defense has been relatively healthy the last couple of week and they have looked bad. they've given up over 400 yards the last two games. now, they will take on a buffalo team that has a great running back in fred jackson and ryan fitzpatrick is having a good year. >> i agree with you. how do you see it coming this week? one of the things we talked about yesterday was the fact that the redskins defense has been tops in the nfl but the bills don't give up the sacks. you can get to fitzpatrick. this is a guy that was left for dead, not that good. now, he is becoming an emergencying star in the heying. >> i think they have to be relieved they are not facing michael vick or cam newton.

they've got a guy who will stay in the pocket in fitzpatrick. i think that is an advantage to the skins. >> it can get ugly. bill can score a lot of points. one area where the redskins defense excelled, they were top three in point allowed. now, it has gotten kind of ugly in the last couple of week. i wonder if they can address that. i'm afraid this one could get out of hand. >> fred jackson is one of the more versatile backs in the league and he is having a great year too. and stevie johnson is a premier receiver on the outside. >> it will be fun to have. jackson is the kind of guy you'd love to have. i intentionally did not mention the caps. we'll talk about them tomorrow, hopefully in a good way. one programming reminder. tonight is game six of the world series, weather permitting. it was rained out last night.

we'll have the action for you tonight though hopefully. first pitch is scheduled for 805:67:89. the rudest city in america. did d.c. claim that unflattering distinction? >> no, couldn't have been, could it? >> we'll tell you where we placed in the rude ranking. but first, today's my fox half offer deal. time to do a little house cleaning. 68% off home cleaning services from l & g cleaning are us. this is a $155 value. head to myfoxdc.com and click on the my fox half off icon. stay with us. we'll be right back.   .  look, every day we're using more and more energy.

. time to say good morning now to our facebook fan of the day. it is regina hairston greer and she watches fox 5 morning news before going to bed after her midnight tour of duty. you see, she is a d.c. police officer, steve. so i think maybe we should just let her be fan of the day whenever she wants. >> we'll be on our best behavior. this next story may confirm what some of you already suspect. the district is the fifth rudest area in america. >> readers were asked to rank cities. second rudest city in the nation, new york city, no price there. l.a. came out number one.
