taking a live look outside where overnight temperatures could dip below freezing by wednesday. let's go to chief meteorologist... bryan scofield and 'weather first.' breezy winds will continue tonight as our current storm system pushes through the area. expect lows in the low to mid 30s around the valley tonight and highs only in the mid to upper 40s tomorrow. the winds will remain breezy on

wednesday. the system makes its exit wednesday, but the cold air will still be in place and it will be another afternoon of highs in the mid to upper 40s around the valley. low temperatures on wednesday and thursday morning are expected to drop to at or below freezing. high pressure will begin to take over the forecast on thursday and that's when our for friday and the weekend. another system makes an entrance on sunday, which will kick the winds up to breezy and bring a slight cool-down to the upper 50s for the start to next overnight.. but don't believe they're connected. one happened on i-15 near lamb where a woman was shot and killed. the off-ramp was shut down while police conducted their investigation. no information yet on a possible motive. police are still looking for the gunman. not far away.. a woman was also killed during a domestic incident near craig and m-l-k. a man is in custody in that case.

they found a 20 year old woman with a gun shot wound. she later died at the hospital. police say there were a lot of witnesses at the scene.. so they're hoping to learn more about exactly what happened. a reported terror attack in paris turned out.... to be a hoax! early this morning... we reported that a kindergarten teacher in paris claimed she was stabbed in the throat.... by a masked man affiliated with isis.. but just hours after the initial report... french officials said... the whole thing was a lie! they have not released any details about why the teacher.... might have made up the attack.. french authorities are still investigating this afternoon. the hoax comes on the same day.... that president obama addressed the pentagon about "isis".. and... officials from the president's own camp.... are criticizing his policy.... toward the terror group. there are also new questions about why there were no alarms sounded ove bernardino terrorists' social media posts. abc's elizabeth hur reports. for anyone wondering what if anything is being done to defeat isis.. president obama had this answer. ((sot)) obama "we are taking

and killers one by one. ((skip to)) and the next message to them is simple, you are next." that message.. after his rare visit to the pentagon with top security officials.. talking strategy in tackling terrorism. ((sot)) obama "we are hitting them harder than ever.. on isil targets than any other month since this campaign started." the reassurance comes as new questions are raised about missed cues and warnings in the san bernardino attacks.. abc news has learned that tashfeen malik had extensive social media postings.. supporting jihad but she still got a fiance visa to come to the u-s.. turns out.. a secret u-s policy prevented immigration officials from searching social media as part of the screening process. ((sot)) john cohen "the primary concern was that it would be viewed negatively if it was disclosed publicly and there were concerns that it would be embarrassing." just last year.. immigration officials did ask for new policies.. allowing them to look at applicant's social media public posts..

homeland security department's office of civil rights and civil liberites. ((sot)) sen. charles schumer, (d) ny "had they checked out tashfeen malik a little more, maybe she wouldn't have gotten a visa. maybe those people in san bernardino would be alive." liz hur tag: the homeland security department says the current policy is being reversed.. but insiders tell abc news.. even the new pilot programs are not a widespread policy. eh, abc news, ny. bowe bergdahl.. the army sergeant accused of deserting his post in afghanistan.. will face a court martial. army general robert abrams ordered the court-martial today. bergdahl will face charges of desertion and endangering fellow soldiers.. and could face life in prison if convicted. bergdahl disappeared from his base in afghanistan in june 2009. he was held captive until last year.. when the u-s gave up 5 taliban prisoners for bergdahl's release. the north carolina woman.... accused of posting this photo
