from spain. we're a week out from the super bowl but it's what happened during last week's game that has everyone's attention. the nfl has released its investigation plan into this so-called deflate-gate scandal. attorney ted wells is heading up the investigation alongside the nfl's executive vice president. he also led the league's inquiry into the bullying scandal last year. the nfl says it has interviewed 40 people so far, including patriots personnel game officials and third parties. patriots head coach bill belichick and tom brady say they have no idea how the game balls became deflatd before the afc championship game. and so bets ahead of next week's sprbl. one is how many times will deflated balls be mentioned during the game. another bet is how long will it take for idina menzel to sing

the national anthem. she's the voice of queen elsa from "frozen". alicia keys took 2:35 two years ago. another bet is what color will katy perry's hair be when she begins the halftime show. don't forget nbc 4 is your super bowl station this year. next week we kick off super bowl week with jim hanley holding a fully inflated ball we believe, he'll be in arizona for full coverage leading up to the game between the seahawks and patriots on february 1. all week we'll have a find the football con zest on our nbc washington facebook page. so if you haven't yet go ahead there and like it. >> really looking forward to jim's report. but you before we get there, we have to get through today. mostly a rain event so far? >> getting through today won't be the hard part of the weekend. getting through tomorrow night into monday morning that could be a whole other issue, everybody. kids if you have a big math test on monday you may want to go ahead and study for it but there is a very good chance that

you may get away with would be this monday as there is a very strong and increasing likelihood of accumulating snow coming our way sunday night into monday. for now we have rain and snow on storm team 4 radar on your saturday morning. outside, it's all clouds and rain drops here at national airport where the temperature is comfortably above the freezing mark. but that doesn't make it any too comfortable to be outside. temperatures will continue to stay on the chilly side here for the next i would say 1 to 2 hours. and then gradually warning their way up as we get later in the day. we'll take a check of max 1 here on the computer and temperatures are our computer here 37. sometimes you just -- i know it's saturday for you folks at home. it's monday morning for me and this is what happens on mondays. 37 with light rain and a north wind here in washington right now p winter weather advisories go until noon for montgomery

county fair fox, lowdown, fauquier county and everywhere e includes. includes the panhandle of west virginia. this is mostly rain if not all rain in the metro. there are some wet snowflakes mixed in far north and west. all of this will be coming to an end probably before 3:00 this afternoon. so there is good it news. temperatures are well above freezing in the metro and even above freezing thousand into parts of northern maryland and the panhandle of west virginia. so the impact of this system is diminishing with each passing hour. the temperatures won't budge much today. mid to upper 30s now. climbing barely up over the 40 degree mark once the rain and snow stops. if you have a great snow picture about about, send to me @chuckbell4. here is radar over the last couple of hours. a lot of heavy rain late last night into the pre-early hours this morning. rain still mixing with snow out to our west. and you folks west of the blue ridge here this may he said as

a little snow late this morning. there is the colder air coming in just as it turns off the precipitation. so there will probably be another chance of snow west of the blue ridge. the next weather system already taking shape over north todaydakota. so today rain and snow through lunchtime. major roads are all in great shape. tomorrow night into monday snow begins after about 8:00 tomorrow night. several inches are likely pretty much everywhere in the viewing area. so consolations will be very likely on monday morning. here is future weather that takes all the problems out of here. here is 1:00 today, there is the little hit of rain and snow and it comes to an end. snow likely as we get into sunday night and monday. i'll detail more about that coming up a little later in the show. here is your first check of the 7 day. 41 today with rain and snow mix this morning. snow and rain to start p tomorrow but change to go all snow sunday night into monday and then staying cold through the upcoming week ahead.

more about the monday snow totals in a few. well, some could call it an insurance policy so that one day they're able to have a family. why egg freezing is becoming more popular in our area in particular. and today is the perfect day to download the

. seems here in the district many of you starting families a little bit later in life. >> that's right. fertility experts say this is why egg freezing is growing faster here than in other parts of the country. the process involves taking a woman's eggs when she's in her reproductive years and preserving them for use later on. doreen gensler has one woman's story. >> reporter: she's 34 years old, lives in arlington. she's healthy, fit and she has a successful career. but she says there is still one thing missing. she hasn't met a husband yet. so that means having a family will have to wait. >> because time goes so fast. and i think it was i was approaching my 33rd birthday, i couldn't believe three years had gone by and i was like i really need to take this seriously. >> reporter: she's talking about her fertility. as women mature so do their eggs. and the older the eggs the tougher it is to have a child. >> they're born with all the eggs they're ever going to have. as their eggs age, they're not

as functional they don't work as well. >> reporter: but now doctors have improved the process of freezing women's eggs allowing them to have children later in life. the co-founder of shady grow fertility has the largest clinic of its kind. >> people have been trying to freeze eggs for a number of years, but the success has not been very good prior to a few years ago. >> reporter: doctors had been using a slow freezing process called cryo preservation. but when the eggs were thawed they would look cloudy and crystallized and often the egg wasn't viable. but doctors say a new technique called vitt friday if i indication is preserves eggs that look more like this, smooth and clear. and that's the mark of a healthier egg. >> we've had around 90 patients i think actually over 100 patients now return to use their frozen eggs and success rates are really based on the age of the woman at the time that she

froze. >> reporter: michelle is the director of the egg freezing program at shadedy grove. she says pregnancy success rates range from 35% to 55% with younger eggs being the most successful. >> if you think the statistics seem a little low, i think it's because average age for freezing is about 37 1/2. i think as it becomes more mainstream women are exploring careers and further education. i think we'll start to see that age decrease and with younger women, you'll see higher pregnancy rates. >> reporter: she says right now the clinic allows women between the ages of 32 and 38 to freeze their eggs. though they will make exceptions certa cases. eggs can be used up until the woman turns 51. radell says she froze her eggs in september. a tough decision, but one that makes her proud. >> it gives me a little bit more peace. and i'm not saying that it's the perfect solution for everyone.

but for me, i feel excited that i did it and i took that risk for myself. >> doreen gensler reporting there. a father fed up with cyber bullying goes after his daughter's tormenters. how his rival message caught once party involved their job. a live look outside. a bit of a mess with the rain and near freezing temperatures. chuck says it's about to get worse before the weekend is over. when the next storm will dump o trading-in or selling your car truck or suv? webuyanycar.com takes the hassle out of selling in just 3 easy steps. one, get your free online valuation. two, book an appointment. and three, pick up a check at your nearest buying center. ♪ find out how much your car is worth ♪ ♪ at webuyanycar.com ♪

rain. reporting live from leesburg darcy spencer, news 4. you could still see there is a little snow on some of the grassy areas along the side of the road, but good news to hear that the roads are not having much trouble first thing this morning. the farther north and west you travel, you may run into a little bit more trouble. but temperatures are just above the freezing mark across the entire viewing area now. so most of the news 4 nation waking up to just cold and nasty outside. it's a hot soup kind of a day today. french onion, chicken noodle doesn't matter as long as it's a nice hot bowl. you'll need it. 37 right now in washington with light rain continuing to fall. so it's nasty outside. winter weather advisory goes until 12 noon for everywhere west of the immediate metro area. heavier snow still possible well out to the west into the mountains of west virginia right now. but most snow is going to stay away from us about so that just rain in the metro. snow in the areas well north and west. and all of this should be out of
