the cold sets in. frigid temperatures when you factor in the winds overnight tonight and tomorrow morning. brutally cold for the kids at the bus top tomorrow morning. we'll get a bit of a break from the windchills on valentine's day but i am tracking snow that's going to be in the forecast. that could impact your dinner plans. frigid air returns late saturday night and sticks with us sunday into monday. this second shot of cold air will be the coldest so far this season. right now it's not too bad, actually. temperature 42 degrees northwest winds at about 15 miles an hour. look in the background here. notice the lack of clouds and it's that lack of clouds that will allow temperatures to drop quickly overnight tonight. and by tomorrow morning at 7:00 a.m. the temperature, it will be 16 degrees when you factor in the wind. it will feel like temperatures are anywhere from 10 below zero to 5 above. a very cold start for friday morning. by the lunchtime hour it's still breezy. temperature around 21.

plans for your friday night, bring your warmest winter jacket with you. the good thing about tomorrow's weather, plenty of sunshine in the forecast. not the case on saturday. any early morning sunshine will give way to clouds or at least dry through the midday hours. once we get into the afternoon hours, we could be seeing rain and snow showers. here we are at 5:00 p.m. tracking light snow across the area. that could continue into the evening hours bringing us around an inch or less of accumulation. that could certainly have ap impact on your dinner plans should you cancel them now but know there could be isolated slick spots on saturday evening. here are your headlines. temperatures in the 30s for the day. snow midday. it will stay far while. >> it really does.

we're talking about the coldest right now forecasting the coldest seven-day period we've had all winter long and it is going to get really cold starring tonight. we know we had that brutal arctic air. we've seen the jet stream dip to the south. that arctic air is drifting in as we speak. over the next few day, sunday into monday we're talking about not just near record breaking cold. we think we'll break a couple records. the record at dulles airport on monday mornings 11. i think we may shatter that. we may be that close between zero and 5 degrees on monday morning. then another cold shot middle of next week. and that one may come with a little bit of snow. amelia? >> exactly. the good thing is at least monday is presidents' day so the kids won't be at school. valentine's day impacts for the candy and flower run, you'll be fine. heading out to dinner, that's when we're dealing with snow and temperatures feeling like they're in the teens. sunday monday, high temperatures only in the low to mid-20s. record cold like doug said

a resident of unhealthy levels. without early detectors, five people died from poisoning after the gas leaked from a furnace. c soshgs about the same weight as air. >> caruso homes let us inside one of its model homes so we could show you where co detectors need to be installed. this house has three stories, carbon monoxide lives in the fireplace, furnace, and gas stove potentially a lethal scenario if there's not a detector in sight. >> it's constantly taking a sample into the chamber, analyzes it and pops it back out. >> when shopping for a co detector make sure it is underwriter laboratory or ul listed. these detectors have a seven-year battery life and will likely run you about $15. then there's this combination smoke alarm and co detector with a ten-year warranty for about $30. >> it's the cheapest insurance.

symptoms are headaches, both new and existing prince george's county homes must be at least one co detector on every level of a home. especially near the bedrooms. >> it is really the only way you can detect the presence of carbon monoxide. >> test your detectors with the simple press of a button. like smoke detectors, you should test co detectors once a month and replace the batteries twice a year. they could save your life. all right. here's another safety fact. all new gas appliances should be installed by a master plumber, somebody that's got specific qualifications. the washington suburban sanitary commission requires they require a permit and inspection after it's installed in prince
