anywhere in our area you can't escape them. potholes. they seem to be multiplying every hour in this cold icy weather. earlier today one of the worst pothole places we found was the 1300 block of r street northwest. but by the afternoon d-dot workers were able to repair the holes with asphalt patches. they'd probably have to resurface this whole street soon it's that bad. we know exactly how long it takes to fill potholes in the district. you can check out our interactive map. go to nbcwashington.com and as much what else potholes. >> do we know what "soon" means? >> i'll tell you what we know for sure. we'll have a whole bunch of new potholes by this weekend, won't we? >> that's exactly right. temperatures continue to rise. potholes are formed by the freezing and then the warming. we had a lot of problems on some of the area roads, mostly to the north of the d.c. metro area. right now we've got the cloud cover, but we're not seeing the rain the freezing rain the

sleet, the snow, not much comeing out of the sky right now. 39 that's the warmest we've been today. that wind chill down to 32 degrees but we're seeing a southerly wind. look at the numbers now, 40 in fredericksburg 37 in gaithersburg. petersburg west virginia at 51. that air's going to try to move in. the cold air is still going to be trapped. so we're not going to get into the the upper 50s or even near 60 the way it looked a couple of day ago. but the 40s are a lot better than the 20s and 30s the next few days. the radar not showing anything right now, but widen out just a little bit. here's that little impulse that came through our area earlier today bringing the freezing rain and snow earlier today up towards pennsylvania new york boston out of our area but this is what's coming in for the next couple of hours. we'll see rain early tomorrow morning. then we start to see the cold air move back in. all that rain then changes to

snow. here's future weather. again showers around 8:00 tomorrow morning. we will see rain tomorrow. a rather wet commute in some locations. give yourself extra time. but temperatures will be above freezing. the roads should be fine. tomorrow at noon the showers all across the region. then just the steadier rain by tomorrow afternoon and i do think tomorrow evening's commute will be a little bit tougher with heavier rain coming down at times. then 11:30 tomorrow night. still raining around the region. but notice the colder air is starting to filter in. the rain is first. rain likely but heaviest in the afternoon. we may get over a half an inch. then we move to thursday morning. here we are now at 5:30. the snow starting up to the north. still rain down to the south. and that line where is that change what time does that change occur? does the cold air move in in time for a rush hour problem early around the d.c. metro area. i think we are going to see some issues north and west of d.c. but here we are 12:30, lots of

snow to the north. that mix could be coming in then everybody sees the snow thursday afternoon i do think we'll see a lot of it. that winter storm watch is in effect through the day on thursday. here are the snow totals. 5 to 8 inch ses eight ichlg plus this might be trimmed back tomorrow some of the moisture is coming down south. 8 plus windchester, leesburg, waldorf, d.c. annapolis then 3 to 5 farther to the south. this will be a fairly big storm. this is still our first call. tomorrow the very latest and our final snowfall map tomorrow afternoon. 46 on your wednesday. 29 on thursday. look at those high temperatures. 27 on friday. you want some potholes? temperatures in the 20 tst after snowfall. at least the weekend looks nice. at least it looks dry with temperatures above that all
