4:27 am
moisture. the it looks like it is fizzling crossing up on i-95 traveling into say maryland but regardless we want you to be careful and still cold enough outside to support that icing over, any untreated spots. we are looking to saturday, yep, future weather picking up a shot for another swab of snow and this looks like an i-95 storm this time around but it also looks like a mix of rain and snow which could limit your final totals of snow in the long run. another chance of snow coming on monday courtesy of yet another pesky clippers and in the meantime today we will catch a break, we will eventually get some sunshine, erika, back to you. thanks katie. coming up on "eyewitness news" we have the latest on a grocery store shooting that has an employee fighting for his life. also a live look from the cbs-3 mobil weather lab what used to be snow turns into ice in some spots, we will have live coverage. israel's prime minister plans a trip to washington find out who is calling it a
