advisories through the morning. it's all the way from the north and the west. it's about the timing. by the time it makes a move off the coast plenty of cold air in position from philadelphia to boston and maine where six to ten inches of snow is expected. in our area we are expecting the rain to move in overnight. 2:00 or 2:30 in the morning. it will be snowing by then. by 4:00 in the morning north and west. temperatures are above freezing. the bulk of the snow comes through between 6:00 and:30 to 8:00. quickly pushes off. it depends how cold the ground gets. we will mostly have rain to the south but the farther north and west you go the heavier the snow. in the afternoon, we will have strong winds out of the northwest. high wind gust and frequent snowshowers as a possibility, feeling like winter. the last image here is what we think accumulations will be. mainly rain. southern maryland, eastern shore, northern neck.

grassy areas, wet sloppy snow. not the fine flakes. one to three inches north and west of that. four plus, and farther north all bets are off. a foot or more likely in those areas. alison: very good. thank you. download the stormwatch7 app to the smartphone or tablet and stay ahead of mother nature as the weather develops in the next few hours. larry: tomorrow we will have traffic and weather every ten minutes on "good morning washington." the crew and i are starting dark and even earlier at 4:00 a.m. see you then. alison: new information today in a deadly police involved shooting in fairfax county. richard reeve is live in herndon after a judge ruled the department does not have to release the officer's name. at least not yet. rich? richard: yeah, certainly a big debate whether to release the officer he's name or not. this is the r

are demanding answers after the coach's football coach taken to jail on felony charges. kevin lewis explains allegation against the popular coach and husband. kevin: warner murphy gained a reputation on the football field of being a tough, "yes, sir, no, sir" kind of coach. he was wildly successful with the u7 and u8 teams operated by laurel's boys and girls club. but the charging documents accuse him of sexual assaulting two women ages 18 and 27. both claim murphy gave them alcohol on separate occasions. and then forced himself on them at his apartment. >> most offenses occurred at home and on a daily basis. it's disturbing for investigators. kevin: the laurel boys and girls club tell us they run

volunteers and coaches. it's planning a meeting with the parents, too. a club director saying by phone, "we had no idea that as far as one happens when one goes home you just don't know." and while investigators are fairly confident warner murphy did not sexually abuse any of his young male athletes, they are concerned there may be more female victims out there. reporting in laurel, i'm kevin lewis, abc7 news. larry: sheriff deputies in two virginia counties are trying to figure out who is behind a string of burglaries. detectives in fauquier and loudoun county say they may be connected. they captured this video of a white sedan pulling up and shows a man breaking through the back door. a similar description of the man an car given in fauquier county. track crime in your neighborhood with the alert i.d. maps. you can find them at wjla.com. alison: now to a developing st

you see some sort of development underway during all of your daily travels. but is it making for a rental boom or bust in arlington? q mccray did some digging of his own today to find out. q: no doubt about it. arlington skyline changed over the years. billy buck knows it better than most. not only is he a real estate broker, his family business buck and associates has been on wilson boulevard in the heart of it all for more than 40 years. >> most of developments here were just houses or old car lots. q: now you see cranes, construction, holes in ground making way for more new condominiums in most cases. new developments don't necessarily mean there is a substantial need for them. >> one of the things that is different now is that there is choices of the buildings that are ten years old in similar locations that are just, the choices weren't around ten years ago. q: arlington c

healthy and showed a year over year improvement in 2016. total sales went up more than 2%. but that doesn't mean all the buildings are filled to capacity. on the contrary. >> people have more options now. the prices run a broader range. q: the new units build as we speak. you are looking at one of the newest buildings in rosslyn. central place. now we went ahead and checked and there are 94 condos for seal right now in the wilson-clarendon corridor and they range in price from $190,000 up to $3.5 million. what we found out is the majority of them have been on sale for more than four months. in arlington, i'm q mccray. back to you. larry: okay. new information tonight following a series of tornadoes in the southeast. the national weather says ef-3 tornado hit new orleans yesterday. the first time a twister of that strength hit the new

emergency after nine tornadoes hit the state and mississippi yesterday. 3 is -- at least 31 people were hurt. alison: doug is here now to talk about what to expect tomorrow. i know this is tricky for treating it because it will start as rain. so you can't pretreat anything. crews have to watch. doug: it's all location. the immediate metro area is just rain. it's an issue. farther north you go it becomes every ten or 15 miles north of washington, potentially the more difficult it may become. you will get to the colder air soon. cold air is the linchpin. the moisture comes and go before the cold air is in place, not much happens. but we think it will work out where we have heavy snowflakes in the morning. let's get started. this is from annapolis. it's 63 degrees. you can watch what happen. the moon rise coming up here. where is it going? we'll see in a second. i think. there it goes. shooting up over the steeple. the full moon is friday. the february full moon has an interesting name. all the full moons have

this is a snow moon. it may be a harbinger. we'll see what happens. the temperatures are still like spring right now in the 60's across the area. we set a record high two days in a row. today's record is warmer than yesterday. it was 74 today. clouds roll in tonight and the temperatures stay mild. they will slowly fall. overnight rain develops from the west. in advance of transition from rain to snow, winter weather advisories from page county, luray, all the way northwestern luray, northern montgomery county, western, howard to pennsylvania. the pink on the screen is the pinter storm -- is the winter storm warning. there is a huge part of the u.s. under winter warnings to northern maine. this is snow with the system still developing. this snow won't reach us. this is the rain that comes in. as the colder air comes in simultaneously this is the area of rain that will change to snow before sunrise tomorrow. the stormwatch7 future cast shows by 1:30 in the morning. there is heavy snow t

west. the rain will move in by :30 or 4:00. it -- 3:30 or 4:00. it will come down heavily. then the snow will continue and 5:30 in the morning and as the rush hour begins we'll see snow. south and east is mostly rain. may turn over briefly in the metro area. slushy, snowflakes that mostly accumulate on rooftops and grass but the roadway should stay wet. but the farther north and west you go, the colder the air gets and we could see more accumulation. some areas just on grass. farther north it will be a bigger deal. but it moves out so quickly that by 10 verz in the morning it -- by 10:00 in the morning it is over. then the winds come in and they will be gusting over 30 miles per hour with occasional snowshowers from the great lakes and the northwest. the wind chills will drop as well. as far as how much, up to one inch of snow we think. the kids earlier asked from fairfax, "are we going to have school storm, a snow day?" there is

big one. so maybe inside out pajamas might be a good way to go just in case. farther north is one to three, but in higher elevations west and northeast. northeast of washington, six to ten inches of snow from philadelphia to maine. blizzard warnings for part of long island. if you see any interesting weather stuff. snowflakes or whatever you see, take a picture and send it to us. burst.com/wjla. hard to say the bus stop for all areas. this is just for the metro. we have rain and snow early. pickup time. we will hold in 30's with gusty winds. some delays in the school system north and west of the district a sure bet. so the numbers are plenty cold for thursday and friday. look what happens over the weekend. 56 on saturday. 70 possible on sunday. still mild monday. then on tuesday, wednesday, thursday of next week it looks like we will settle down and have a long stretch of dry weather and system temperatures. -- and seasonal temperatures. alison: this is so weird to talk about this kind of snow

alison: airbnb is ral luing against a d.c. council bill to create regulatory framework for short-term respecting bookings in the district. mike carter-conneen reports that the legislation proposes strict limit on washingtonians who use the website to respect out rooms. mike: affordable housing advocates complain apartment districts are illegal hotels and should be rented to the d.c. residents. >> any unit lost by being turned into a hotel room is an apartment that comeone can't live in. mike: county member mcduffy introduced legislation to require home-sharing property owners get a new type of business license specific to short-term rentals and restrict it to the host permanent home and only one booking at a time. it would limit rentals where the host is absent to 15 days per year, with violators facing fines starting at $1,000. >> it would also ensure that places

are zonedded for residential housing -- zoned for residential housing are reserved for people to live. mike: both airbnb and others oppose the bill saying it would impact the small businesses across the city that benefit from the rental foot traffic. airbnb claims it helped to generate $200 million in economic activity across d.c. in response to the legislation airbnb released radio ads. >> without the income i make as an airbnb host, my daughter and i could lose our home. councilmember mcduffy, why are you choosing big hotels over families like mine? mike: but councilman mcduffy says he is not choosing that. >> it would prevent people from circumventing the law. mike: mike carter-conneen, abc7 news. michelle: we are
