>> yeah, let's head back to the storm center. here is doug. what can we expect overnight? >> well, guys, we can expect more freezing as we have seen the past couple of nights. but one thing we're not going to see, last night at this time, we were already down into the teens in some areas and that is just not the case, not everybody below freezing just yet. take a look at the numbers. you see where we are. plenty of cloud cover, a temperature of 36 degrees at the airport. winds out of the south at 5 miles an hour. so two reasons why we're staying above freezing. it's the clouds. once again, they act like a blanket to keep that heat in. winds out of the south, that's keeping us on the mild side. but it is below freezing around martinsburg, freezing in frederick, around baltimore. and, as we move on through the rest of the night tonight, most other areas will fall below freezing, too. so we will see that refreeze tomorrow morning. here's that cloud cover coming from two separate systems. earlier this week, it looks like they may come together to form one system that could get us a

little more snow. it's nothing to worry about, that system. first system, moving out to sea. the second notching in with more cloud cover. could give us a chance for a flurry tomorrow. maybe even a quick snow shower. and then, behind it, it gives us much colder temperatures. overnight tonight, temperatures will fall. that's when we're going to see the ice around the region. in the district, maybe staying just above the freezing mark here. again, a lot of ice in the area. notice by 1:00, we're still in the 30s. and the windchills will be in the 20s. so that school bus forecast, a lot of schools going back tomorrow: 30 degrees, rather slick between 7:00 and 8:00 tomorrow afternoon. 3:00 and 4 cloek, cold, make sure the kids have on the coats, the gloves, whatever. windchill around 25 at that time. here are those wind which i ams. e7 a.m., 25-30. same deal at noon, but by 4:00,

they actually drop because of the winds and the cold air moving in. windchills between 20 and 25 degrees. so a very cold afternoon on our friday, for sure. and then we start to warm. and not guilty e not just warm, we really start to warm. 42 on saturday. 49 on sunday. great day on sunday. great weekend for skiing if you're thinking about doing that. 63 degrees on monday. 63. that's not the warmest weekend. we go 59 on tuesday as the front moves down the south of us and the front moves right back to the north. we get rain on wednesday with a high of 65 degrees. wednesday is the day that we're really worried about. here's the current snow cover. you add in the 60s, you add in the rain and we get a really good flood threat watching that all through next week. but one thing to rebel, guys, watch out early tomorrow morning. a refreeze is on. >> all right, we will. >> coming up, the terps come up >> coming up, the terps come up huge against the hawkeyes.

strorng tonight at home. >> best win of the season. and the atmosphere down there, ewe know, including last season, maryland, they are 10-0 following a loss. not a great sign for third-ranked iowa hawkeyes. not to mention the terps were at home tonight coming in. they have won 24 straight games at the xfinity center. it was the first-ever meeting of the program of two top ten teams squaring off.

>> there's a fine line between being a good and a great team. i think chemistry makes a big difference. we talked it out as a team. we had some good team dinners. and we were all on the same page today. and i think that's one of the major reasons why we won. >> let's go out to the smith center right now. gw hosting richmond. looxing to stay perfect at home this season. colonials down 13 at the second half. 17.4 seconds left. the team down three. how about that for a bank shot. ties the game up and sends it to overtime. it's coach michael's fifth birth day today. they're currently in overtime right now. let's talk about the pros for a moment. john wall was named the eastern reserve today. it was also a very special night at the verizon center.
