cannonball and will try and determine exactly what history it's from. jackie benson, news4. so a little bit of snow. a little bit of drama but more on the way. >> right now the big issue is going to be some freezing issues as we make our way through the overnight hours. we're not just talking about the roadways but freezing fog, too. we'll talk about that in a second. let's show what you is going on. look at the radar. not much but just off towards the west another system moving our way has snow, has a little bit in the way of rain associated with it and it's moving towards the east. it's a very little system. it's not going to bring us much. so this is not why we have the winter weather advisory in effect. it's part of the reason. the other reason take a look at where it is. the areas that saw the rain and snow earlier today. parts of southern maryland most of northern virginia and back towards west virginia. the reason here possible freezing drizzle. we have that fog out there which

means freezing fog. what is freezing fog? it's not actually fog that's frozen and it's fog that once it hits something below 32 a car or a tree or roadway, it becomes frozen. that's why we have freezing fog. and then maybe even some light snow with that system that moves on through the area. so watch out across the region. we're already at 29 in baltimore and 32 in gaithersburg and so temperatures are at or below freezing in some areas and it will lead to some problems on the roadways i think. look at the overnight low temperatures. most everybody into the upper 20s by around 4:00 5:00 6:00 tomorrow heading out, just know there will be areas of ice and i would expect to see some delays. give yourself a little bit of time on those roads. we all know how bad it can be around here and there's ice or snow on the roadways. once again, leave early. something else to note. dense fog in advisory in effect for washington county winchester down towards page

county and then back towards the west. dense fog not just here but even over towards the east. leesburg right now, coming in with fog about a third of a mile visibility. we'll continue to watch out for that. same deal goes for areas around kul culpepper. tomorrow morning, you could see dense fog. we've got a lot of travel issues early in the morning and that's why i think you should leave early. tomorrow is fine. thursday is good. friday most of the day is going to be okay. we'll see cloud cover around the area. here comes our storm on friday night. and i do think it will start off as rain for most of the area but also a mix back to the north and west. take the umbrella if you have a hot date on friday night. down to the south, there's the rain. look at the mixture on saturday morning. snow to the west and a mix around the d.c. metro area. this will be some accumulating snowfall and parts of the region most likely to the north and west of d.c. but i still think d.c. will see

accumulating snowfall during the day on saturday and then again late sunday into monday as we have yet another storm system that comes in. that brings in the arctic air again and we see highs only in the 30s monday tuesday and wednesday. we've got a lot going on. turning to my 24-hour channel on youtube for the latest on that. >> freezing fog. that's a new one. thank you, doug. >> thanks doug. kevin durant showing the wizard fans what they hope to see more of in the future in the final seconds of overtime. hey, guys bill gates is here plus jennifer
