bowie, out 66 notice manassas and warrenton, a sti mixing with a little bit of sleet and freezing down. now, this is the area that has mostly rain right now, but this is also the area i think could be the most concerned area early tomorrow morning in this area southern maryland the chance that maybe has the best chance for some delays as far as schools go. this is why. look at the moisture making its way in here. the moisture is making its way to the north t the cold air is making its way to the south. so because of that we have a ey in effect through tomorrow morning, 5:00 a.m. it is now including all of southern maryl again i do think prince george's county charles county st. mary's even parts of the northern could have problems early tomorrow morning. the rest of the advise ris only go to 3:00 a.m. as most of the moisture will move down the south. freezing rain mixed with sleet and even light snow in the morning and chance for icy

morning roadway. temperatures all below freezing for the most part in and around maryland. 30 over towards gaithersburg still 35 in d.c. here's future weather. i think it does a pretty goorning. notice 1:00 a.m. it is not raining or snowing back towards gaithersburg or frederick. even around the 4:00 5:00 hour it is sleet, freezing rain and snow that's breaking down here well down to the south and east of d.c. i think d.c.'s fine fairfax county montgomery county not too worried. could we see slick spots? yes, but southern maryland seeing it tomorrow as you head out the door. morning, areas of ice. give yourself a little extra time. tomorrow evening chilly but roads should be dry. temperatures at that time should be around 44 degrees. we will see 44 for a high. not bad. 40 on thursday. that's first storm that will crush boston again, but for us just light snow. but much cold are air.
