the going to have to wait until later tonight when the coming down really heavily for more of that to start to stick and accumulate. once it does, things will deteriorate pretty quickly. already dealing with issues at the airport. for more on, that i want to send it to amy. reporter: already the website showing more than 3,200 flights delayed across the board today. that number in our area, though, at this point, still relatively low. with b.w.i. showing the most canceled and delayed flights. they have 28 canceled flights. 20 delays flights. let's look ahead for tomorrow. we have b.w.i. and reagan national in the top seven airports with cancellations for tomorrow. b.w.i. now showing 73% of their flights canceled for tomorrow. just earlier today, metropolitan washington airports authority telling me that snow removal teams will be in place at both reagan and dell us by late

intelligence committee have given the justice department until today to do just that. so far, many seem skeptical. from the top democrat on the panel. >> there are one of two possibilities here. either the president quite deliberately for some reason made up this charge. or perhaps more disturbing, the president really believes this. reporter: and republican senator john mccain on cnn sunday calling on the president to prove it. >> i have no reason to believe that the charge is true. but i also believe that the president of the united states could clear this up in a minute. reporter: but the white house is not backing down. counselor to the president, kellyanne conaway this morning on g.m.a. d suggesting surveillance may have been broader than wiretapping. she was asked if she had any evidence for her allegations. >> of course i don't have evidence for these allegations. the answer had nothing to do with what the president said last week. reporter: now that this unsubstantiated wiretapping claim is with congress, it is less likely to go away.

mcclain. we are continuing to follow this story throughout the day, including interviews with family and friends. so stay tuned today at 4:00 for the very latest. it's been almost three years since mike brown was fatally shot by an officer in ferguson, missouri. and new video now puts into question the events that led up to the shootinging. you've likely seen the video of brown make off with a carton of rolls in a store while shoving the owner out of his way. there's new video from the night before showing brown accidentally leaving those on the counter. 11 hours later he returns to get them back. >> the clerk takes the cigarettes, puts it into a plastic bag and hands the plastic bag over the counter to michael brown. that's not stealing the store. jummy: the new video is part of a documentary called "stranger fruit." the store owner strongly denies the video and st. louis county police say they can't confirm the authenticity of the video at this time.

that winter storm that is headed our way. suffocating parts of the midwest right now. overseas, though, we get a power wind putting the end to a popular cycling event down in south africa. take a look at this video. winds in cape town, this is their cycle tour, topped more than 60 miles per hour. you can see the cyclists could barely stand up. and the event had to be rescheduled. wow. they can't even -- whoa. that's crazy. ok. let's head over to veronica johnson and eileen. they're going to talk about our forecast here at home. we have winds anything like that? meteorologist: we'll have winds locally here in d.c., maybe up to 30, 35 miles per hour. now, you get toward the coast and it could be upwards of 50 miles per hour, which is why we're talking about the possibility of us handling power outages. meteorologist: especially since we're going to have rain and heavy, wet snow. meteorologist: we said rain. meteorologist: we did. parts of our area are going to see a lot of rain. especially southern maryland. meor

critical, we're still looking at temperatures going up today. probably in the low to mid 40's for several hours. right now we're mainly in the mid 30's to around 40 degrees across the area. looking at the latest data, it's after 9:00, 10:00 this evening, where area-wide our temperatures are going to drop down under the freezing mark. that is so critical to what we're going to get in terms of accumulating snowfall. you've been looking at some of the latest data. on how much for the area. eileen: it's going to be such a wide gradient. areas to the north are going to see so much more. let's get to some of the snowfall totals that we are nticipating across the area. for those of new extreme southern maryland, southern calvert county, long beach, down into st. mary's county, lexington park, maybe an inch or. so maybe one to three as you get into prince frederick. and

speaking, we're kind of now edging more on the lower end of these ranges. so maybe around one to two inches. remington, back through dale city, alexandria, three to six inches, maybe now leaning a little bit more on that lower end of the spectrum. moving you over to prince georgia, three to six. but with maybe a little bit more rain. maybe not quite as much. six to 10 as you get into is silver spring. once you get into northern montgomery county, frederick, carol, baltimore counties, that's when we'll see pro-probably our highest accumulation, 10-plus inches. veronica johnson, the snow, once it starts falling, the going to start measuring up very quickly. so i'm going to send it over to you to talk a little bit more about the timing. veronica: so, first of all, if that storm is a little bit more south and east of our current track, it could changey the sweet spot is with total. right now we're going with the map you saw.

your location. here's what's going on. we have really two areas of low pressure systems that are going to come together very nicely. one here that's just off the coast. and then there's another one right here that's in areas around the tennessee valley. both of these are going to kind of converge right near the coast. intensify, make its way up the coast. for us, some of the heaviest snowfall amounts just after midnight and prior to about 6:00 a.m. in the morning. hour by hour forecasts for today, we push into the mid 40's. there's 5:00. we're still dry. mostly cloudy. now's the time really throw to -- though to start prepping for snowfall. especially through d.c. and areas of northern maryland. there you can see, 9:00, 10:00 this evening we'll go from rain in d.c. to snow at 10:00. a lot of areas, mainly d.c., south and d.c. are going it be making that shift, that shift from rain maybe mixing and going to all snow for a time period. we're going to get quita few power outages

northern maryland. d.c., gaithersburg, frederick. here's a look at 10:00 this evening. at midnight, look at the sleet and a little bit of rain that starts mixing in. that's what we're talking about. even if the snowfalls in these areas, you get the moisture on top of it, liquid. this is going to be washing away a lot of the snow. it's going to cut down on the amounts greatly. i think in d.c. now, we may only see four inches of snow. areas around waldorf even less than that. so you saw the snowfall total, what we're expecting tomorrow. really a cold and windy day with highs in the upper 30's across the area and wind chills by wednesday morning in the single digits. we'll take look at the 10-day forecast in just about a couple of minutes here. jummy: thank you. we are following breaking news right now out of montgomery county. a working fire from up above. you see these live pictures. this is an apartment complex. right now we know the building has been evacuated. we do have a crew on the way to the scene. and we'll keep you

this situation as more information becomes available.
