doug is here to break it all down for us. >> plows, doug? >> they haven't been very busy and let's give these guys something to do, i think. >> they say plows, obviously the plows will never be used. this is in case they need to use the salt just in case weee a layer form on the roadway. so again, salt not plows, don't worry about that. it's not that kind of storm. this is a clipper system and these normally do not give us much in the way of snow and this one giving us less than that and right now temperatures on the chilly side and 38 degrees and winds out of the northwest at 8 miles per hour and to our temperature in the 20s and 30 in martinsburg and manassas coming in at 37 degrees. here's the radar and not much on the radar right now and even if you widen out. here is the clipper system right here back toward chicago. chicago is about to get hit by snow and a nice figure 8 here and here's the clipper that will move our way and that's what's going to give us the snow. also notice what's going on up

toward the great lakes and big-time lake effect and it wasn't the snow that caused this. this is lake erie, and the wind blowing some of that up and over the wall there and completely encasing that car in ice. that driver left there last night and want taking it out of there any time soon. that will be one big problem and one big headache as we're expected to stay on the cold side over the next couple of days. speaking of the colder air and these clippers want only bring us the chance for snow, but the cold air will be the factor and let's take you through future weather. by 7:00 a.m., no problems and we will not see issues on those roads whatsoever. each around noon we have cloud cover and all in all, not a bad-looking tuesday at least early and here we go around 3:00 and notice the shower activity and the rain shower activity for us. you can see the snow back to the west and we see the colder air,

too. we start out with the snow showers and here we are around 5:30 and frederick, leesburg, gaithersburg around toward the gainsville area and northern fauquier county and inside the d.c. metro area between 6:00 and 7:00, switching over from rain to snow and that's what we'll be seeing and the only area of accumulating snow is back here toward the mountains and garrett county and maybe frostburg and they could see an inch or two of snow and maybe three inches and for us this is not going to be a big deal. by 9:00 it is out of here and where do you think you will see problems on the roads? not around us, but maybe frederick to fredericks town and most likely on the secondary roads because roads to watch because we may get a quick dusting into the areas and that's going to be about it. 45 in d.c. and 38 in martinsburg

and as that moves on through, the cold air really moves in and look at the high temperature on wednesday and a high of only 30 degrees and it's not the temperature and it's the wind and the windchill, 5 to 10 degrees by 7:00 a.m., and around 4:00, 15 to 20 and a cold day on wednesday and veronica has the rest of the seven-day forecast coming up in just a couple of minutes. >> thank you, doug. >> the powerball frenzy still going strong and why we will continue to see this historic jackpot swell. fate was not kind to tiffany. security video could lead to new clues to the death of the woman found on the side of the road in prince george's county. i'm julie carey in manassas, virginia, where a former day care worker goes on trial for allegedly abusinged to the l
