amri. germany says he's armed and dangerous and on run. his wallet and i.d. were found in that battered semitruck after it plowed into a christmas market killing 12 people. and he's no stranger to police. according to the associated press, he was under surveillance until september. after a tip that he was trying to get weapons for an attack. amri had wanted asylum in germany. however, he should have been deported and it appears he may have slipped through the cracks. president-elect donald trump speaking about the tragedy today. president-elect trump: an attack on humanity. that's what it is. it's an attack on humanity. it's got to be stopped. anchor: trump was asked if this would impact his plans to create a muslim registry or to ban muslim immigration in the u.s. trump's response, quote, you know my plans, all along

sunshine as we move through the midday hours, highs will eventually make it into the lower 50's. winds are going to begin to kick up. especially during the afternoon hours. out of the northwest and around five to 10. but still a nice day to get out there and do a little bit of last-minute holiday shopping. shouldn't have any problems with the weather. coming up in just a few minutes, we're talking about travel plans. traveling thursday and friday and for this upcoming weekend, christmas weekend, what to expect christmas day and for the last day of 2016. all that coming up in just a few minutes. anchor: thank you. new at 11:00, you might remember this scene, it was awful. a surprise winter storm created nightmare out on our roads. that was almost a year ago. now the national weather service is out with a new tool that's trying to make sure this never happens again. tom joins us live with how it works. tell us about it. reporter: this is a map from that night you're talking about that's on our website,

every single one of these red dots represents an accident. it was absolutely awful. so the national weather service says it wants to prevent this and one of the things the weather service thinks was a problem is a lot of the drivers who were out that night didn't get enough warning of what was potentially coming. >> we were all focused on the blizzard that was going to arrive about another 24 to 48 hours later. reporter: in its own way, january 20 was worse than the blizzard. icy roads created such chaos that evening rush hour lasted until morning rush hour. all that, even though only an inch of snow fell. >> a fraction of an inch of snow during rush hour. on frigid roadways thofmentse three things are all you need. reporter: partially in response to that horrible rush hour, the national weather service announced in this youtube video it's creating a new warning. the plan is to get a notice like this out to the public 24 hours before a rush hour weather threat. the n.w.s. also says it will call transportation officials around here to warn

more information, it's going to help things. it's not only going to help school districts and it's going to help metro. reporter: we talked to storm watch seven meteorologist about the plan to warn of potential rush hour trouble. >> if it doesn't happen, say the first time, after they give this advisory or the second time, i wonder, are they going to take it quite as serious? reporter: the national weather service admits it will warn about trouble that may not come. even if it's only a one in three chance that it happens, sometimes one in three is enough to change plans. this again is an example of what the warnings will look like. they're going to put them out on social media and then a lot of other ways, the weather service says. it does emphasize the word possible. they say sometimes definitely they will warn about things that don't ultimately happen. but they want this to be on folks' minaldses so they can at least think about what they'll do if the worst does happen. jonathan: thanks. new developments now. we have new images to show age progressions of for two missing
