you need to stay warm if you have to stand out here for long period of time waiting for train, bus, whatever it might be. definitely warrant that. but let's start things off by looking at the maps which are thankfully empty pi point, storm scan, not showing too much out there. the wind however is still an issue and it really is making it very, very cold. now, we want to go all the way to the trail end of the week, tracking this impending storm system. it is still appearing as though though there will be winter storm, little too soon for us to peg and pinpoint region by region how much we're all going to get. but according to our computer modeling, it looks like we are expecting to see plowable snow out of this, starting as early as friday afternoon, leading through most of saturday, with a bull's eye setting it self up perhaps back toward the baltimore-dc area, perhaps bit further inland. this may change. the storm has not even blossom yet. not even form yet. until it does, that is when we will be able to really fine tune the details of region by

region. we've been here before. matter of 25 miles can make or break or totally bus a forecast. so we have to keep close watch on. >> this again the expectation is that a large winter storm will be developing by week's end. for now, just sunny, winnie, very cold. high no better than 29 degrees. tonight dip back down to 19 under clearing sky, but still bitter outside. looking forward in the nor cast mid to upper 30's for tomorrow and thursday, watching weak disturbance triggerman snow shower come tomorrow night, generally through the overnight as it looks like when that timing will be. and then we head into friday, saturday, granted not a harsh as today, but certainly cold enough. and with that cold air in place, yep, banking on some snow, and snow that you will have to break the shovel out for it appears by the weaken. so meisha at other thing to think about here too, you got to have back up plan if you have weaken plages, might need to rethink them or figure out another plan for them. >> absolutely. not only because of the cold and the snow coming but the roadways, sometimes if that snow hits hard enough, katie,

we know that you're if the going anywhere because mother nature will determine it this morning, talking about the cold, the good news is is the roadways are nice and dry. so that's the great news. that doesn't mean that we can't see black ice, especially site streets, so make note of that. this is a look at 95 south, at the vine here looking good in the southbound direction, but as you can see, plenty of headlights out on roadways, kind of seeing that now build basically anywhere that i do look. and the ben franklin, ben franklin bridge moving in the westbound direction, this is one of the safety areas, actually looking pretty good moving in the westbound direction, from jersey, eastbound, we don't even really look over, there because we know that knows not where the traffic s it will build moving in the westbound direction. right now ben franklin bridge looking good. for knows ever those of you on the blue route headed out to the blue route any time soon, headlights in the northbound direction past route one, looking good here, as well, so basically, overall where i am looking, roadways are dry, but start those cars early. let them warm up. erika, back over to you.
