wasn't a state or what her confusion was. >> reporter: brant says the agent asked for her passport which she did not have with her. luckily the confusion was short lived and brand made in the time to board her flight home. >> she literally yelled over to another tsa agent and said "do we accept a d.c. license?" and he yelled back "yeah, we take those." and i was able to move on. i air, spokesperson for the tsa tells news 4 a valid washington, d.c. driver's license is an acceptable form of identification at l checkpoints. in a tweet, brand's boyfriend theorize it had license was questioned because passengers didn't have statehood. passengers say they don't know what to make of the incident. >> i've never heard of that actually. >> that's very surprising. >> i think it's ridiculous. how is that even possible? >> reporter: brand did not file a complaint with the tsa but she hopes that what happened to her will serve as a lesson to them. jackie benson, news 4. there have been several high-profile murders and

we had more days below average but the days above average we were in the mid-60s. that's what we saw this weekend but that's a faint memory as temperatures go way down and we end this month well below average as we head into the next couple days. we have the coldest there in about a month making its way in here. overnight tonight it will be a very cold night. out towards the airport we are seeing temperatures around the 28-degree mark so very cold there and just a little bit of wind east/northeast at seven miles an hour. that puts our windchill down to 21 degrees and this is going to feel warm when you compare it to what we're going to see in a couple of days. already down to 18 in martinsburg and windchill, 21 in leesburg and manassas, temperatures will drop by about another five or 10 degrees so some of you will be close to the single digits and this is what we're talking about here, down 9 in haggerstown. 13 in manassas, 19 in washington, that will be the first time we've seen

temperatures into the teens and storm team 4 radar has nothing on it right now. that was not the case earlier today. snow made its way through. some areas picking up one to two inches of snow for the second straight day and now the clearing skies, that will allow temperatures to cool quickly and we are going to be in for one cold day. so we've got the cold air moving in, a cold night overnight but it gets even colder on friday and, yeah, then we're talking another chance of snow soon. talk about the future windchill here. we'll take you through early tomorrow morning. how about a windchill of 10 in d.c., 2346 martinsburg, you're thinking hey, that's a cold one. tomorrow afternoon we stay in teens back to the north and west. inside the city a windchill remains in the mid-20s but watch what happens on friday morning. windchill about 1 in d.c., near 0 in leesburg and 1 below in martinsburg, 5 below in haggerstown. an extremely cold friday. high temperatures friday should stay below freezing. we have not seen that happen since the end of january. a high tomorrow of 40, 28 for a high on friday, that's even with

some sunshine. slight chance of snow on saturday, that's just 43 degrees with a chance for flurries, not a big deal at all. on sunday chance for some late-day showers with a high of 48. that's as our next storm system moves in and right now it looks like we're going to have enough cold air in here for this storm system to have some kind of wintery weather. what i mean by that is most likely coming in the form of some ice. and that could be a big concern but possibly snow, too, as that storm moves off the coast. so moderate to strong storm, a wintery mix ooking more and more likely from this and this is something storm team 4 will be watching closely over the next couple days. tom keir written will have the latest information at about 4:30 tomorrow morning. the chance of snow lingers into the day on tuesday but once again we are talking about very cold air for this time of year and we're talking about the storm on monday. we will be watching it all for you and we'll continue to give you the latest other the next few days. i mention that we're a little above average here. miami one of the warmest winters they've had. duluth, minnesota, one of the
