lot. richard: it sure could help. no alert tonight because so far the roads are relatively warm. that could change as we move in the everything hours. my buddy tom roussey is somewhere in maryland monitoring conditions there. what is going on? tom: well, let me show you, rich. we had the sun come out a moment ago. we are christening snow track today. this is the snow track video at abc7. the sun literally came out. you can see the weather is fine. you can also see that the roads are heavily pretreated. we are on interstate 70 in hagerstown right now. we have seen a truck, a number of miles back toward frederick waiting on the side of the road with a bunch of salt in it for whatever comes. so far it's not hitting here. so washington county is pretty good to travel right now. that could change quickly over the next few hours. so the roads are treated. they are ready and waiting. a lot of the salt trucks. we are waiting for the weather to get here.

storm. cloudy and flurries on saturday and maybe more snow south and east of the city. end with this. this is interesting because with the clearing skies that come behind the systems it will get mighty cold. these are the wind chills we expect when you wake up on sunday morning. around zero to the low single numbers. john? jonathan: that is chilly! thanks. abc7 has you covered for the morning commute.
