the air is dry. nighttime the precipitation will start and temperatures will fall. that is the key. how low will they go tonight and staying tomorrow? it can snow at 38, 40, 42 degrees but it won't accumulate. that is the rub. this appears the best chance for accumulating snow is the area in pink. this is a winter storm warning in effect late tonight. the d.c. metro area and west and north from there under the winter weather advisory to be a lesser amount and a mix. we are picking up batches on radar. some reaching the ground. fair amount of it is suspended in the cloud. this is the real deal rain to come in. as the storm is formed up tonight. we'll change the wind direction around and see the rain mix and change to the snow in the overnight hours. different models have different speeds. enough cold air will come in. a mix south and east of town. farther south and east in future cast shows rain.

there could be additional heavier snow tomorrow afternoon before it kicks out. so what we expect, one to three inches is the forecast across 24 area. metro area included. a lot of the grassy areas. three to. is plus farther north. it will to no snow farther south and east you go. look at the weather pattern. the vortex will pay us a it have. we'll have the highs in the lower 30's to the upper 20's. chilly. down to 12 on valentine's day morning. jonathan: polar vortex sounds ominous. michelle: that is all we need to get us shivering. doug: cheaper than candy. michelle: still ahead at "abc7 news at 4:00" -- sailing through the storm. massive cruise ship. and its passengers tossed around in the rough seas. >> with chipotle closing the doors in today's lunc hour

will happen. we have a lovely color of pink. this is late tonight and anne arundel and howard county, montgomery, east through delaware and jersey and beyond. the purplish color indicates a winter weather advisory. by that, less snow and impact. that's what we are charting for you in the afternoon and the evening hours. it's mid-40's across the board. colder to the bay and the eastern shore. mid-40's through most of the region. ref starting to pick up traces of rain. some of this is reaching the ground across the northern neck. as we goal to the evening hours -- as we get to the evening hours it will saturate with the moisture. precipitation will reach the ground and form the rain. temperatures overhead are too warm for snow. the element that is elongated to move overhead and initiate

surface form. that will organize and turn the winds and bring colder air in. we will see transition from rain to snow. not everybody gets snow. farther south and east it's all rain. we have an area of rain and mix and one to three inches through the area to the bay. the heaviest amount is three to six inches plus. there could be jackpot somewhere. the storm hasn't formed. if the storm forms in a slightly different place than we think, the bands may have to do one of these numbers. the best we can do. the computer models show metro will get off relatively easily and north will be a different story. the forecast tomorrow, snow or snow mixed with rain. the temperatures should remain above freezing in most places. clear it out wednesday and be breezy. bitterly cold. highs for thursday, friday,

saturday, sunday. cold. below average. nighttime lows are frigid. for the most part it's dry and feel like the dead of winter, which it is. back to you. jonathan: thank you very much. as we follow the set up of the storm, we seem to be getting many events, this is a northwest that they could see the most significant impact. michelle: maryland bureau chief brad bell in frederick where the storm prep is underway. brad: the crews trying to beat the equipment to shape after the blizzard. the salt spreader was bent. the plow needing attention. troy wolf spending the day getting his plow truck ready for tonight. after getting the post blizzard rest he is ready to go. most major roads have been retreated. maryland state high school
