4:00 pm
the roads could be very slick. jonathan: we have team coverage with the chief meteorologist bill kelly and josh knight working this. alison: transportation reporter sam sweeney also monitoring the roads for you. we begin with bill and the heaviest snow right now. what are we seeing? bill: the heaviest snow is off to the northeast. this is a live look in bel air, maryland. northeast of the baltimore metro where it is coming down pretty good. this is alexandria. you can see the grasses are covered. go to bethesda where you have a little bit of that as rel. it's not been a big snow-maker but the snow is coming down so the roads have a possibility of being slippery. show you where it is currently. the back edge along 66 to the beltway. northeast it's heavier. the i-95 corridor. that is where we see the potential. if you look at the map quite a bit of snowfall will continue to com
4:01 pm
areas in north in inches. but the big story now is the road conditions. what those are like. combine the friday evening commute and it can cause a mess. with that said go to josh knight. what is going on? what are you seeing? >> we are traveling east. we are on 50. we just went over 301. you can see close to the outlet shopping center. what is going on for us? roads have been wet. we are still getting light snow coming down, a little sleet mixing in at times as well. but a lot of traffic. i don't know if it's weather related or just friday getaway and people trying to bet the weather. in general, the road conditions on if main roads have been relatively quiet and dealing with the road spray when you get to go fast. i want to show you the temperature out here from the storm track. we have instruments on the roof. around 28 d
4:02 pm
so my concern is the roads with the less travel and the less traffic. those places have a chance of icy and more slick and more quickly. so keep that in mind. it can be easier. take your time. whatever you have going on. if you get to hang out and enjoy on friday not a bad place to be. and weather check on another area. we'll send it over to sam sweeney in the mobiletrak7. how does it look where you are? sam: josh, right now we are on the 14th street bridge headed to the district. the traffic in front of us or behind us. anywhere you go in the metro is heavy traffic. driving around a lot of the day today. it's been bad. a lot of people taking it easy on the roads. they are slick. the snow and the rain coming down in the mixture, as you said. if you are headed out the door, pack extra patience. it will take you longer to go wherever you are
4:03 pm
that is the latest. jonathan: thank you. we are not sure if it's weather related but an hour ago a car spun out on the beltway at the 270 spur. you can see what is happening there. it is slowing things down. bottom line is this. when we have weather like this, give yourself extra time on the roads be. patient and please do not push it. be safe. do not get caught in a snowstorm without the stormwatch7 weather app. download it from the google play and the app store. you can get updates on the current location. you will get alerts when the weather changes. nancy: breaking now, ultimate date in the death of a walt whitman high school in bethesda. montgomery county reporter kevin lewis with a medical examiner's report just out. kevin? kevin: that reports states that navid sepehri died from acute alcohol intoxication complicated by hypothermia and drowning. the temperature in bethesda overnight saturday dipped down to 30
