this airport are practice training flights. the december crash was one of them. but at least three accidents since 2007 did involve training flights. >> these are pilots that are learning. having them traveling so close to a lot of the homes, it's certainly something we'll take a look at and evaluate. >> reporter: also under review hours of operation of the airport. the county said it will consider new restrictions closing the airport down at 11:00 p.m. each night through 7:00 a.m. the next morning. when we caught up with the final executive, he wouldn't say when final decisions will be made. >> we think those have been outstanding prior to the crash itself. it offered us an opportunity to go back and re-evaluate. >> reporter: federal money pays a lot of the bills at this airport and the feds may have something to say about the changes. but the training flights might also surface when the ntsb prepares its report on this

it's on the cold side. 31 degrees. but look at the wind chill. down to 19 right now. many already down into the low teens. by early tomorrow morning those will be in the single digits. 28 the current temperature in leesburg. 25 in gaithersburg with a wind chill of 13 there. the wind and the wind chill will be the big story over the next day or two. storm team 4 radar, all dry right now. last 12 hours showing that blizzard up towards boston. there are numerous places with over 36 inches of snow in and around connecticut, up towards boston and maine. that's where those blizzard warnings remain in effect. but for us just a little bit of a northerly flow -- actually a lot of a northerly flow and that's why we'll be on the cold side. a storm system moving in on thursday. tomorrow no problem. 7:00 a.m. we're clear. we're just cold when you step out the front door. 5:00 in the afternoon, no problems here either.

i think the drive will be a-okay especially tomorrow afternoon. then thursday morning we start to see the clouds moving in. so another clipper is going to pass us to the north. so this is not going to be a big one. we're not expecting any accumulation at all. notice the timing here thursday around 5:00 in the afternoon we could see snow coming down along that corridor. want to alert you to that. rain in the south. warmer air down toward the south, too. thursday 8:00 starts to move out of the area. low temperature tonight, 19 gaithersburg, 19 manassas. wind chill between 5 and 15 when you wake up and step out the door tomorrow morning. your impact forecast not just on the low side but on the moderate side because of the icy spots. not just during the morning but even during the afternoon, many areas seeing wind chills in the teens with highs only in the 30s. 35 in leesburg 38 in

fredericksburg. what about our next storm? that's the one coming up on sunday. cold air's in place on saturday. we're talking bitterly cold air. but our next storm is actually coming from the south. that will bring in milder air. that means we are going to see a strong storm, but may be too warm. right now i think it starts to snow and changing over to rain but we have a lot of time to figure that forecast out. a high on thursday with that late p.m. mix. 36 on friday. a high of only 29 on saturday. then there's that storm on sunday and, yes, it does coincide with the super bowl. if you have a party, you might need the umbrella you might need a shovel. >> but we definitely need warm clothes for tomorrow. >> yes. did can you see the gw game tonight?
