of rain and that's something we've been mentioning all day today. we talked about it last night. let's show you what's happening over the next couple days because we have the winter storm advisories, winter weather advisory in the purple here. winter storm warning in and around the areas of pink. the reason is because this is the area that is the bull's-eye as far as the most snow goes. this is in effect at 10:00 tonight through 6:00 a.m. wednesday. so, again, we're talking d.c., prince george's county, parts of montgomery, southern montgomery and fairfax county and everybody to the west underneath that winter weather advisory. in the pink it is that winter storm warning. now, it looks like a lot of rain trying to move in, but very dry atmosphere. so a lot of this not quite reaching the ground but we are starting to see some shower activity, sprinkles starting to hit the ground down to the south. that will help to saturate the atmosphere and bring in the rain. one thing i want you to notice, very disorganized system. this is a very large trough of low pressure. very large area of low pressure, but it's got a couple storms

inside of it and that's what we're going to be watching as we move through the next couple days. the transfer of energy will once again happen off the coast. as it does, that's when we start to see the bulk of the snow tomorrow morning. as mentioned, this is not going to be a big storm. we have a few inches possible in most locations. some locations just a little bit more but a much tougher forecast than even the blizzard was a couple weeks ago. we'll continue to keep you posted on this. i'll see new 15 minutes. >> we know if anybody can handle it, doug, you can. right now salt trucks are being loaded up and sent out. crews trying to pretreat the main roads ahead of the snow. that could be tricky though given the forecast. transportation reporter adam tuss in leesburg now to explain the challenges with this particular storm. adam? >> reporter: well, jim, just what doug was talking about there, the rain is going to make it a little bit tricky because you can only put so much chemical down on the road, and then you have to revert to the salt. you know, after the last blizzard people were wondering do they have enough supplies?

well, take a look at the dome almost filled to the top. these crews say they're ready. here we go again. >> snow, s-n-o-w. >> reporter: cold weather lovers taking one more chance to get in an ice skate, but after the last blizzard not everyone is so excited, especially if this comes down as rain first. that could wash away precious chemical already on the pavement. vdot actually wants nothing but snow to fall. >> if it's just snow, that's great. it's easier for us to push. again, with the brine down and keeping in mind what the brine does, it keeps the snow from really adhering to the pavement and help us plow it easier. >> reporter: this a tricky forecast and this is going to be the biggest thing to watch with this storm because the conditions and the amount of snow that we get could vary. in places like here in tyson's corner to right here in reston where the snow could start

inching its way up. here in downtown leesburg where they will be keeping a close eye on the storm and up here in point of rocks, maryland, where the snow could definitely pile up. that's why this storm is so tricky. the totals will vary depending where you are in the region. maryland crews say they expect things to pick up as the night moves along. in d.c. residents getting ready, but they don't expect much. some road crews asking that you move your car to your driveway and off the street so they can get the roads plowed and back to pavement quickly. back here live in the vdot yard as the crews get ready for what's coming tonight. now, these crews say they might actually start plowing a little earlier than they normally would. they say they don't want to get behind. back to you. >> adam tuss, thank you. there's a good chance this storm will impact schools across our region. many were forced to close and have already used a good chunk of their allotted snow days during the blizzard of a couple weeks ago.

alexandria public schools ever losing two teacher work days to get back on track. fauquier county public schools ever sliding their exams back by a week because of the lost days. prince william county and arlington counties have missed most days, seven, but they have enough built in that makeup days aren't required yet. montgomery county students have missed six days. they have four built in. other missed days will be added on to the end of the school year. be sure to download the nbc washington app. we'll send you weather alerts and you can see if schools decide to close or delay classes tomorrow. there's breaking news in prince george's county tonight. a man arrested and charged with producing child porn. investigators say some of the explicit videos were made inside the elementary school where the suspect was a volunteer. jackie bensen reports with the laces e

latest. >> reporter: jim, 40 videos, that's how many police are talking about showing what they describe as vial sexual acts. some of them shot during the school day inside an elementary school. now, police announced that 22-year-old deonte carraway, a volunte volunteer, is facing numerous counts of child pornography. the police chief said the investigation went from one victim to ten in a mind boggling 18-hour period this weekend. rager ron brewer explained how this was discovered. >> on thursday evening around 7:00 we were notified by the uncle of a student that they saw a nude photo on the child's phone on the application kik and the student advised that they forwarded the image to mr. carraway. they came to us. we were able to get some information from that student, identify mr. carraway and

identify other potential victims. we were able to bring some of the other potential victims in, speak to them and get enough information to get an arrest warrant. >> reporter: carraway is being held on a $1 million bond. live at prince george's county police headquarters, jackie bensen, news4. back to you. >> thank you, jackie. shifting gears now to politics where the focus is on new hampshire tonight. there are only a few hours left before the nation's first primary and the presidential candidates are racing around the state trying to make their final pitches. the newest poll of likely primary voters shows donald trump with a 21-point lead over his closest competition. on the democratic side bernie sanders holds a 16-point lead in the polls over hillary clinton, but all of those numbers could change. as steve handelsman reports, new hampshire voters often make up their minds at the very last minute. >> reporter: it's not a classic push to get out the vote. volunteers are still trying to win support for candidates. from new hampshirites who will

vote. >> oh, my gosh, i never miss a year. >> reporter: she's for jeb bush. >> he has good moral standards. that is very, very important. >> reporter: but many others remain undecided. nbc's mark murray says voters here also waited in 2012. >> half of them according to the last election ended up not deciding until the very last few days. >> reporter: and what about the last day? >> the last day almost 20% made up their minds on that very last day. >> reporter: with donald trump far ahead in gop polling -- >> get out tomorrow and vote. so important. i love you all. >> reporter: jeb bush is dreaming of second place. >> i feel like we're going to have a good night tomorrow night and i'm in it for the long hall. >> reporter: marco rubio has a shot at that. so does ted cruz, a race for runner-up. john kasich is looking ahead to south carolina. >> we're very confident we'll be eating gumbo and wearing flip-flops. >> reporter: but the cold reality of new hampshire this afternoon is hillary clinton, the national democratic front-runner, is also just hoping for a strong second place

here. >> i don't think a little snow is going to stop anybody, do you? >> our government belongs to all of us, not just the 1%. thank you. >> reporter: bernie sanders looks set for a sure win, but volunteer pete christopher went out to whip up the sanders' turnout. i'm steve handelsman, nbc news, manchester, new hampshire. >> it's a pretty big battle for second place on the republican side. we asked to you weigh in and tell us which candidate you think has the most momentum going into the primary. here is a look at the results of our flash survey. you can see donald trump out in front with 35%, but rubio and kasich right behind him -- not right behind him, but behind him tied with 23%. a peaceful protest in fairfax county today to mark one year since the death of an inmate there. her name was natasha mckenna. she died just five days after being tased by officers at the

jail. they say she was being combative while they were trying to transfer her out of a holding cell. mckenna was being treated for schizophrenia. social justice groups organized a protest outside the detention center today. >> and so we're here, one, to make sure this does not happen again and holding people accountable and making sure that people know her story. a lot of people don't know that this happened right here and it can happen again to folks who look like me, folks who look like my family members. >> the commonwealth ruled her death was a tragic zent. the sheriff's department has also ended the use of tasers in the jail. and the county has created a new center where officers can take offenders experiencing a mental health crisis. metro leaders are going to talk about last week's near head-on collision. it's a story you saw first here on news4. the transit agency has added an agenda item to this thursday's board meeting to talk about the incident at the smithsonian

station. two trains came within 150 feet of each other because a train operator went through a red signal on the tracks, something which is never supposed to happen. meanwhile, the federal transit administration, which is investigating, says metro has shown a troublesome pattern of red light running on the tracks. the man who stabbed two strangers at a bus stop in rockville will be going to prison for at least 50 years. at his sentencing today, reginald cooper told the court he's a changed man and wants to go into a drug rehab program. our meagan fitzgerald reports why the judge says he was insulted by that statement. >> reporter: it was a crime that quickly got the attention of montgomery county state's attorney john mccarthy and one that startled the community. >> it's pretty frightening to think that you can just be on your way to work and have somebody you've never seen before in your life attack with you a knife. it's terrifying. >> reporter: it's what happened to two men standing at the rockville metrobus stop in

december of 2014. this surveillance video shows 39-year-old reginald cooper walking up to the bus stop, stabbing two men before walking off. investigators say the victims could have died. just before cooper was sentenced today, he asked the judge for clemency saying, quote, i'd like to say sorry for what happened to this gentleman. i would never want to see anyone get hurt. i've been addicted to pcp for 17 years. cooper said he was on drugs at the time of the incident and wanted to be rehabilitated, but according to court documents, cooper has a lengthy criminal past including violent crime and had many opportunities to seek help. that's why the judge said he was insulted by cooper's statement and said, quote, it's absolutely crystal clear that cooper is a danger to the community, a community prosecutors say is much safer with cooper behind bars. >> 60 years in prison, 50 of those years are without the possibility of parole. >> reporter: cooper's brother

and son along with other family members were in court today, but they weren't interested in making a comment. reporting in rockville, meagan fitzgerald, news4. a family survives a brush with death after a gas explosion rocked their home. >> we were just literally seconds crossing the street and not even that much time went by that the house blew. the fire marshal told me if she had been in the house and not evacuated, they wouldn't be here right now. >> how firefighters helped this family get out of harm's way as we learn about the dramatic scene that unfolded in a northern virginia neighborhood. coming up on news4, the results are in. what test results tell us about the oil spill in the potomac river. i'm mark segraves. we'll update you on the wild geese that have been rescued. also, the unprecedented security in place as a maryland man goes on trial for allegedly putting a hit on one of his own family memb

tonight we're learning that two volunteer firefighters were inside a woodbridge home when it was rocked by an apparent gas explosion. it happened yesterday and now the firefighters and the family they took to safety are demanding some answers about how it all happened. bureau chief julie carey joins us live from the neighborhood with details on all this. julie? >> reporter: hey, dor reap. you can hear and see the heavy equipment here. washington gas still on the

scene closing up some of the many holes they hammered into the street today to try to figure out what caused this gas explosion. now, too dark back there to see the house that was impacted. the family who lives there are in a hotel tonight and they have some very pointed questions for washington gas and a lot of praise for some volunteer firefighters. glass from blown out windows and debris litters the backyard of this woodbridge home. inside, the aftermath of an apparent natural gas explosion. the drywall blasted from the stairwell. a door cracked in two by the force. just minutes before the explosion, maria rivera and three relatives were still inside. >> translator: the fire marshal told me if they would have been in the house and not been evacuated, they wouldn't be here right now. >> reporter: but sunday afternoon a 911 call from someone who smelled gas outside the home brought volunteer firefighters here. they began going door to door, their gas meter read so high here they immediately evacuated the family.

with her daughter translating, maria rivera describes what happened next. >> translator: we were just literally seconds crossing the street and not even that much time went by that the house blew. >> reporter: but two firefighters were still in the house. >> the firefighters explained it as maybe a mild earthquake with the house appeared to lift. >> reporter: checked out at the hospital later, the firefighters were uninjured protected by their gear. do you think your firefighters saved injury or lives yesterday? >> absolutely, 100% you're. >> reporter: now the family wants to know why washington gas told them it was safe to stay in the home. they first smelled gas at the beginning of the week. friday night the smell was overpowering. >> what's weird is they told my parents and they told me while i was there that it was fine that we were in the house. >> reporter: a washington gas spokesman declined an on-camera

interview, jim, until this investigation is complete. he can't answer any questions about what could have caused this explosion or address the concerns of the family. he did emphasize that safety is the company's number one priority. vance, back to you in the studio. the first test results are in and tonight officials say that oil spill along the potomac river is closer to being contained, but the source of the spill remains a mystery. mark segraves is at gravelly point near the airport where we have learned that one of the wild geese rescued from the spill has died. mark? >> reporter: yeah, jim. that was the bad news today about that wild geese who died. 30 have been rescued so far. as for the test results, very preliminary and still inconclusive, but the one finding is that the oil on the potomac river appears to be some form of fuel oil. >> we haven't been able to actually recover but we've been trying to contain it to minimize

the environmental impact. >> reporter: as for all the wild canada geese covered in oil and had to be rescued -- >> we will start working with the wildlife trustees and the coast guard to find an appropriate release place for these animals. >> reporter: today the sheen left behind from the oil spill is still clearly visible as the coast guard ramped up its efforts along the potomac river and at the roaches run sanctuary. today additional flotation devices were deployed to help contain the spill which stretched eight miles along the potomac river from just above reagan national airport as far down river as the wilson bridge. the majority of the oil is located in this lake in the center of the wild fowl sanctuary. so far more than 20 oil-covered canada geese have been rescued and take ton a wildlife facility in delaware for decontamination. so far 30 oil-covered canada geese have been rescued and take ton a wildlife facility in delaware for decontamination.

while one of the geese has died, experts say because the spill happened in the winter, it's unlikely any of the geese that have been relocated left behind any family or younger geese. >> not this time of year. generally it's a little bit too early for them to start pairing off. these animals have been in groups. they have not been paired off. >> reporter: now, very important to note that none of the oil that got into the potomac river had any impact on the drinking water for our region. jim, back to you guys in the studio. >> thanks, mark. we have more pictures of the birds and the effort under way to clean them up and get them back to the wild. we invite to you our nbc washington app and search spill for more details on that. more than 70 hours after a powerful earthquake in taiwan, survivors are still being pulled from the rubble of a 17-story apartment building. an 8-year-old girl was among four people rescued today.

the quake killed at least 38 people. all but two of them were inside the collapsed apartment building. at least 100 people are believed to have been trapped in the debris. authorities say taiwan's strict building codes prevented that disaster from being worse than it was. some new video may shed light on the blast that tore a hole in the side of a passenger plane in somalia. investigators have released airport surveillance video that shows two airport workers handing off a laptop that they say contained a bomb. the workers gave that laptop to a passenger. the computer exploded before the plane reached cruising altitude. a blew a hole in the fuselage and that passenger was sucked out of the plane and killed. the two airport workers have been arrested. coming up tonight, we'll tell you about the new plan of attack to fight the zika virus at home and abroad. montgomery college plans to close two child care facilities,

including this one here in takoma park. >> it puts my family in a bind. >> reporter: why kathleen matthews: too many nights, i lead the 11 o'clock news with stories of gun violence. and like many of you, my family lived through the beltway sniper crisis. in congress, i'll fight to expand background checks on guns and ammunition, ban assault weapons, and mandate gun safety locks, because too many kids die from accidental shootings. let's show the nra we're not afraid of them; as democrats, as americans, as parents. i'm kathleen matthews and i approve this message.

this is a storm team4 weather alert. >> and, of course, talking about the snow coming in across our region. right now it's coming in as rain. the temperatures are going to be the thing that move us from that rain to that snow. >> right. and that will be overnight, so really the impacts on area roads will be just fine for this evening and even for the early

part of tonight, but tomorrow morning different story completely. >> yeah. we're watching that storm system move in right now. let's show what you we're dealing with as far as the temperatures go right now. pretty nice evening across our region. 43 degrees. winds out of the east at 12 miles an hour. we will begin to see the winds shifting. down to 39 in gaithersburg, 4 3 in manassas. 43 in culpepper. anything that moves in will come in in the form of rain but it will change to snow and that's why we have the winter weather advisory in effect in the purple. prince george's, lower montgomery, washington around the d.c. metro area, alexandria, arlington counties, fairfax county and points to the west. in the pink here, this is the winter storm warning in effect. it's northern montgomery county, howard, anne arundel, back towards frederick, that in effect at 10:00 tonight. here is the rain. anytime you see a doughnut like this, that tells us the atmosphere is just a little too dry. we're not seeing too much of this fall to the ground but it will develop and move in as rain

later on this evening. what's happening right here? well, it's not just one storm. there's more like three storms. one around st. louis, one south of cincinnati, another one moving up towards the great lakes. and how these storms develop as they move and rotate really around each other, that has a big determination on how much snow we're going to see in our region. that's why this is a tough forecast out there. temperatures going to be on the mild side early. we're expecting to see the rain first and then the change over to snow. again, the temperatures are the big deal here, and this is one reason why we think tonight even into early tomorrow morning, veronica, we're not too worried at least about the roadways. >> we're not at all but 7:00 a.m. there will be some snow really coming into the d.c. area. let me take you through the next couple hours through the day tomorrow. show you the temperatures in your neighborhood. 39 in d.c. 35 in frederick. this is at 11:00 p.m. this evening. as we get through the overnight into early tomorrow morning, 6:00 a.m., 7:00 a.m., that's the critical time period. we're at freezing.

frederick, gaithersburg, even close to that, leesburg, merchandise, and around d.c. that's why you saw that snowdroping down into d.c. where doug just showed. at lunchtime tomorrow, we'll see more rain mixing in as well as around 2:00, 3:00 tomorrow, but by 6:00, 7:00 we are back to looking at snow. green this evening to cautionary conditions overnight. roads will be snow covered in many areas and becoming more hazardous across the area. >> so early tuesday morning with some snow around d.c. notice the rain/snow line around in the afternoon creeping back up but still snowing. frederick county, baltimore. that's the bull's-eye area. down to the south, this may stay more rain for you. 1 to 3 inches around 66 and towards 50 and then north of that is the 3 to 6 range,

laurel, annapolis. we'll continue to monitor this. this could continue to change a little bit. temperatures around 38 tomorrow and wednesday and then it gets just downright cold, guys. the coldest air of the season getting ready to move in. if you thought it was cold earlier, wait until you see the windchills for this weekend. >> we can't wait. >> i can. >> thanks, doug. coming up, a man in maryland accused of putting a hit on ous hen uncle. we'll tell you how security was beefed up as the retrial got under way. she disappeared from that hotel more than five days ago. she's a troubled 23-year-old woman. she doesn't have any money. she doesn't have a cell phone. she doesn't have a car. what happened to rose ditoro? that story coming up. the timing couldn't be much worse. how parents are fighting back amid plans to shut down two

concerned she might be in harm's way. the story of rose ditoro coming up. plus, chaos outside a maryland bar. now the man behind the wheel is back in front of a judge. there's unprecedented security right now inside and outside the prince george's county court. >> it's connected to the retrail of brian mayhew. he's accused of putting a hit on his own uncle from jail. tracee wilkins is there with a look at the security changes. tracee? >> reporter: the last time this man was tried, state's attorneys had their own security. now this time they are saying once again they have reason to believe that this defendant is very dangerous. along with his co-defendants, and they're taking precautions. the increased security starts at the door to the prince george's county courthouse with signs that say no cell phones or electronic devices allowed inside the mayhew courtroom. the actual courtroom has its own

magnetometer and security procedures. additional sheriff's deputies and security to lock and unlock the courtroom's doors behind each person who enters. the state is trying to once again convict brian mayhew and his two co-defendants of murdering his uncle in 2012. his uncle was set to testify in his nephew in a double murder case. he was shot and killed outside his mother's apartment two months before the trial. according to the state brian organized the hit while he was locked up in the jail through a srz of illegal phone calls and three-way conversations with stanley winston and anthony canon, his two co-defendants. mayhuw was sentenced to life plus 20 years in that double murder but the trial of his uncle's murder ended in a hung jury. the defense maintains nicoh was a drug dealer with a lot of enemies and even with the recorded jail calls and video of two suspects running to kill him, the state has no real

physical evidence, only circumstantial, which may be what led to the hung jury last july. during the trial mayhe wesw ands co-defendants are housed in isolation in the prince george's county jail and only allowed to communicate with their attorneys through monitored calls. nicoh mayhew's son was also sho the in this incident but survived. that boy's mother testified today along with his grandmother. this case is expected to last the next two weeks. i'm tracee wilkins, news4. at the live desk we're learning if sea senior isis lea wife has charged in the death of kayla mueller. now the woman is facing charges. she's married to abu sigh yef, senior leader of isis until he died last year. she admits she was solely

responsible for watching mueller and says isis leader al baghdadi owned mueller during her time in captivity. she was captured during a u.s. raid on one of her homes and is being held in iraq where she's facing charges. >> chris lawrence, thank you. tonight desperate plaes for a young woman in virginia to return home. no one has seen or heard from rose ditoro in several days and her family says her troubled past has them very concerned. news4's pat collins is in manassas at the hotel where she was last seen. pat? >> reporter: doreen, she has no money, she has no cell phone, she has no car. rose ditoro is missing and her family is worried. is she the kind of woman who might flag down a car or get in a car with someone she doesn't even know? >> she could. i'm not ruling that out. >> reporter: kathy ditoro is

worried about her sister rose. rose has been missing for more than five days. rose is 23 years old. her hair has green highlights. she has a tattoo across her fingers. it says "hold fast." rose was last seen at the comfort suites hotel in manassas. it was 3:51 in the morning on february the 3rd. she was caught on surveillance video walking by herself down the back stairs of the hotel. she had a pack of cigarettes in her hand. her family says that rose is a troubled young woman, that she suffers from a bipolar disorder, that she has a history of drug abuse. are you worried about her? >> very. >> reporter: her boyfriend brought her to the hotel last week to rest and recover after they said she had a bipolar episode. he left her here on the night of february 2nd. the next day she was gone. why did you leave her at the hotel? >> because i guess it was a lapse in judgment to think that

she'd be all right just because she had seemed to calm down a lot, and i was just exhausted. i had gotten two hours of sleep. >> reporter: do you think she's in harm's way? >> i do. i absolutely do. >> reporter: why do you say that? >> it's extremely out of character for her to go this long without contacting a family member. >> reporter: now, if you know anything about this case, prince william county police want to hear from you. doreen, back to you. >> thank you, pat. news4 is working to change minds when it comes to mental illness and treatment. if you or someone you know is in need of help, we invite to you visit nbcwashington.com changing minds. once there you will find some tools to track down the best resources in your community. back to weather now. rain and snow moving in to our area. doug, this one is hard to tell

exactly what area is going to see what, huh? >> it really is, vance, because, you know, at the airport, the airport always a little bit warmer there, so we're going to have let's say three inches falls at the airport, but the total that we're going to get at the airport is only going to add up to maybe an inch, inch and a half because we will see melting with this storm, too. that's one thing we'll be watching very closely. again, we've got some rain moving in right now. some snow is going to develop on this as well. we'll talk much more about this. i'll see you in just a minute. >> thanks, doug. president obama taking new measures to tackle the zika virus. why the mosquitos that spread the virus are among the hardest to fight. and a local postal worker accused of deliberately throwing hundreds of pieces of mail into a dumpster. we'll tell you why he did t

postal worker in virginia has gotten himself into a real big mess. federal investigators say he was spotted dumping 800 pieces of mail into a dumpster behind an

apartment building in alexandria. it happened a few months ago on south washington street. court records say the employee got -- was criticized in the past for slow performance and that he didn't want to appear to fall behind schedule. records indicate that he is suspected of dumping what's called promotional mail, and they recovered it later. if the man is convicted, he's facing a maximum of six months in prison. new developments in the battle to get ahead of the zika virus. president obama is asking congress for nearly $2 billion in emergency funding to respond to the virus both in the u.s. and abroad. zika is carried by mosquitos and is of particular concern to pregnant women because it has been linked to birth deeffects. white house officials say the emergency funding will be used in part for expanded mosquito control programs and for accelerating vaccine research. >> people say a vaccine won't be ready for three to five years,

that's true if you're talking about dotting all the is and crossing all the "t"s. but when you're in an emergency situation i think we can move much more quickly than that. >> there are no confirmed cases of zika transmission from infected mosquitos inside the u.s. yet, but there are 50 cases of travelers returning to the u.s. with the virus. bug experts say the mosquitos that carry zika are among the hardest to fight because they live and breed in the houses and yards of the people they bite, so it's harder to reach them with mass sprays. coming up, a bar fight spilled into the streets, and we'll tell what you we're learning about the man behind the wheel of a truck and a woman who was injured. plus, some parents are running out of time and options. now they're taking matters into their own hands to try to k

a driver who went on something of a rampage outside a bar in baltimore is going to stay in jail. a judge denied bail today for the man whose name is orlando redd. a woman was seriously injured when redd rammed his minivan into another vehicle, then plowed down a sidewalk in fell's point. it happened on friday night. his lawyer says he was trying to escape after being attacked by a group of people in a bar. redd has been charged with assault, endangerment, and several traffic citations. in a sudden move, montgomery college has decided to close two of hits child care centers leaving some parents scrambling but why is it happening now?

darcy spencer has reaction from parents who are fighting back to try to keep them open. >> i think it's a selfish and it was not something that considered the students. >> reporter: alicia is talking about the montgomery college decision to close two child care centers, including this one at the takoma park campus where she sends her 4-year-old daughter to preschool. and so you're looking at potentially having to drop out? >> yes. i have to drop out of school because of the closing. >> reporter: as a student, she and dozens of other parents get a break on child care costs making it affordable to go back to school but with the planned june closing of this center and the rockville site, her education will be put on hold. >> they really consider the children and the students and the community as a whole and they can stay open. >> reporter: the college says the centers are under used and lose money. nearly $405,000 in fiscal 2015. >> the tuition was very low. we were way under market, and

that's part of the reason it's lost a lot of money over the years. >> reporter: the germantown center will remain open. we mapped it out. it's more than 20 miles from the takoma park center, and parents we spoke to say that just won't work. amy said the discounted rate weighed heavily in her decision to go back to school to become a nurse. she sends her son to the tacoma markson ter, her classes are not offered in germantown. she started a petition to fight the decision. >> the board of trustees made the decision without soliciting any input from the stakeholders, the parents of the kids who are going to be impacted by this. >> reporter: now parents are scrambling to find care on short notice. >> anyone who is displaced, we're going to work with them to try to help them find a place that will work for them. >> reporter: in montgomery county, darcy spencer, news4. doug is back with one more check on that weather we got

heading our way tonight. when are we going to start seeing this rain and then turning into snow? >> the rain is starting to move in across the area. just light rain this evening and into the overnight hours but by 10:00 or 11:00 it will start to pick up a little bit and by 1:00 or 2:00 that rain does become some snow and it will start to pile up in parts of the area. here is the radar right now. storm team4 radar showing the rain making its way in but most of this not quite hitting the ground just yet. if it is, it's very light. just some sprinkles we are seeing across the area right now. it's part of a much bigger system moving our way and this much bigger system really has about three or four separate little storms to it, and that's why it makes it so hard. you can see little piece of energy here, another one here, another one back to the west. all of these trying to come together around our region and that's why once again this is a fairly tough forecast. but the temperatures making it easy at least at first. 41 in frederick. 43 in manassas. anything that falls will fall in the form of rain. when the snow falls, it will

melt on most roadways. that's good news here too. here is future weather and this is a brand new computer model here, even newer than what i showed you at 6:s15. still has the rain around 11 o:00. by around 3:00 in the morning, notice who has the snow. d.c., gaithersburg, leesburg, frederick, baltimore, a little bit of a wider enhancement of snow. down to the south though, it's still rain. in this area, fredericksburg, quantico, lexington park, i'm not expecting much for you folks. the newest one gives a little bit of a bull's-eye towards waldorf and charles county. even around 11:30 tomorrow, it's still snow in d.c. will that happen? even if it does, i think it's a very wet snow. i still think it's melting on most of the roadways. not too worried here. worried though up to the north. from frederick to baltimore, maybe 3 to 6 inches or even a little bit more in those locations. 1 to 3 inches d.c., waldorf, warrenton, some areas to the

south a little bit less than that. that's from fredericksburg and leonardtown, i don't have you in that at all. this is also a snowfall forecast all the way through the day on wednesday. what are we going to see in the next couple days? it will be the temperatures that will really come down. 38, maybe a flurry on wednesday. 29 for a high on thursday. 32 for a high on friday. and then the bottom just drops. high of 28 on saturday. windchills in the single digits almost all day saturday. valentine's night, bundle up with your friend or -- anyway. sunday 25 for a high temperature. that's all we get. guys. you know what i mean. >> you need somebody to love on sunday. >> thank you. that's whey meant. >> we figured that. thanks, doug. we got sports coming up. question about peyton manning. what's he going to do next? also some questions about cam, too. man, what's up with that? jason and i, all of us, we're

kathleen matthews: too many nights, i lead the 11 o'clock news with stories of gun violence. and like many of you, my family lived through the beltway sniper crisis. in congress, i'll fight to expand background checks on guns and ammunition, ban assault weapons, and mandate gun safety locks, because too many kids die from accidental shootings. let's show the nra we're not afraid of them; as democrats, as americans, as parents. i'm kathleen matthews and i approve this message.

this is the xfinity sports desk brought to you by xfinity, your home for the most live sports. >> whoo-hoo! we just won the super bowl, baby! >> love it. >> that is d.c. native vernon

davis playing for the denver broncos. he won a super bowl last night. congrats to vernon. everyone on this desk was wrong. we all picked the carolina panthers. >> we did. >> you were the most wrong. you did a jingle with it. i wasn't even here when you did that. >> how can you be the most wrong? there are degrees of wrong? >> you were the most wrong. we have plenty to talk about. we're going to get to cam newton in a moment but first up let's start with peyton manning. should he retire? >> absolutely. >> and call it a career? he's 39, a two time super bowl champion and a five time league mvp. should manning go out on top. i say no, come back, possibly win another super bowl next year, then go out. >> why do you need three super bowls? except to show your little brother that you still the man up in here. other than that, other than, you know, putting shade on him, to play for what?

there's nothing -- >> you can't throw the ball anymore. >> who cares what we think. he should do whatever he wants. he's the man. . >> if he's healthy and he wants to play, he should come back, right? >> no, absolutely not. the dude is -- are you going to tell me i'm wrong on this, too? >> you are the most wrong. >> there are about eight or nine quarterbacks that are not as good as peyton manning even at 39 years old and all the injuries. i'd take peyton manning over a lot of people. next up, cam newton, everyone is talking about cam newton. in the game in the fourth quarter, this play happened right here that people are questioning whether or not he has the desire to win. they're down by six points in the fourth quarter. von miller comes off the edge, strips the football away. cam looks like he's about to dive on it, then he kind of hesitates here. people were ripping camphor this. i don't know why. if he dives on that ball and gets hurt -- >> dude, dude, dude --

>> you can't have that. >> can i make a point with you? >> yes. >> he's not the quarterback. he's a football player. >> he's -- >> he's 245 -- >> he's as big as any linebacker out there. >> does peyton manning dive on that pile? >> yes, he does. >> cam newton should have gone for that ball because he's an athlete. he's a football player. you still have a chance to win that game. you do everything you possibly can to win the game. >> he's a football player, an athlete, but he's a quarterback. >> when you drop the ball, you get the ball. >> don't risk injury, don't dive into a pile. >> that's ridiculous. >> how many times -- >> you know what everybody says about playing hurt -- i mean playing scared. how do you play when you play scared? that's when you get hurt. >> do you think he was scared? >> don't put words in my mouth. >> he had ever reason and every right -- >> absolutely not. he's a ballplayer. get the ball, boy.

>> more so than that play, the walk off had people talking. after the game we know the panthers lost, the broncos won super bowl 50. here is how cam newton acted during his postgame news conference. >> they just played better than us. i don't know what you want me to say. nothing different. >> lost to denver two years ago. they bounced back. do you take that to heart? >> no. >> now, chris harris was in the background talking about cam newton. you could hear him. obviously he was us from traded, got up, walked away. still inexcusable. >> tacky. >> very disappointed, but if there's an upside, here is the upside. that guy is teachable. >> yes. >> and his old man i hope will sit him down and say, dude, that's not a grown-up acts. man up.

23 years old. win gracefully, lose gracefully. >> are we out of time? the music is playing. i wanted
