so that same storm is going to be hitting us tomorrow? >> yeah. it brought severe weather down towards the south. it's coming through georgia right now. it's going to come right up to us. it's going to take our temperatures from the 30s where they are right now, and move us into the 50s. >> great news. >> by 7:00, 8:00 tomorrow morning that is good news. i still think the ice is going to hold on tom of the roadways right on through the early rush. please give yourself a lot of extra time. if you can wait to go in tomorrow morning, it is probably a good idea to do so. the airport is just a nasty, nasty night across the area. current temperature at 30 degrees. we still have the rain falling. and of course with temperatures below freezing, it is falling as freezing rain. and also notice that northeasterly component to the wind. any time you see that with a system like that, you get cold air damming. what that means, the cold air just wants to sit across our region, and that's exactly what it's doing. that's why we still have freezing rain in frederick, around the leesburg, down south towards priwi

and we'll show you where it's the heaviest right now. around urbana, over towards damascus, clarksburg right along 270. and back down 15 towards leesburg, around the luckett and lovettsville seeing the heavy freezing rain continuing right around those areas. so heads up this evening. watch out you. don't have to be on the roads, don't go. we have more freezing rain to go. now one thing you notice here, notice the rain-snow line. down to the south, trying to move up to the north. and it will continue to move up. but it's going to take its time waiting for this. look at the storm. look at the spin down here. and notice this squall line. that's what has created all the severe weather. and that whole system move ours way. let's take you hour-by-hour now. first off, everybody is still below freezing. notice leesburg now up to 32 degrees. up to 32 degrees in patuxent river. we will be climbing above river the next several hours. freezing rain at 11:00. you know we have that. watch what ha

starting to see the rain-snow line closer to d.c. by 3:00 a.m., that rain-snow line, or the freezing rain line way back to the west towards winchester and hagerstown still seeing some freezing rain. and by tomorrow morning 7:00 a.m., we're well above freezing. but watch what comes back in. 7:00 a.m., we've got rain. and that rain gets heavy around 9:00 back towards the west. and here comes in around 10:00, 10:30, 11:00, 11:30, right on through d.c. maybe even with some thunderstorm activity. i wouldn't be surprised to hear a rumble or two. that's how strong this system. we could even see some strong winds. maybe up to 30 to 40 miles per hour with this system. that moves through. tomorrow afternoon, we finally clear out. so we still got about a good 12-hour period here where we're going to be dealing with a problem. and tomorrow's rain combined with the snow that we saw could have some flood potential. that's why we have flood watch through tomorrow night. take a look at future temperatures. i want to show you this. here is 7:00 a.m.

still in the 30s to the west. we could still have ice, even with these temperatures. because it's going to take a while for that ice to melt. again, give yourself some extra time, do it. here is my favorite part of the forecast. goodbye tuesday. wednesday, thursday, friday, better, we're dry. but saturday and sunday, oh, thank goodness. 61 on saturday. 62 degrees coming up on sunday. yeah, finally not just the nice weekend, but no storms on the horizon, at least for the next seven to seven days. >> by tuesday, we're ready to say goodbye winter. >> no, you are. >> hey, we've got another snow stick challenge under way. speaking of winter. it's the president's day edition. >> check them out. this time we asked to see your best patriotic snow pic. pat collins received a big batch today. here is look at a few. the best patriot in the snow gets an official pat collins snow stick. what about those pants. look at that. the winner will be announced tomorrow on ew

get accustomed to wing, and you lose a hockey game, it's really upsetting. it really ripples through the locker room. guys get very upset. >> good teams don't lose. and we just got to make sure that we always bounce back. >> when you a belief you can win every night, it's pretty powerful. you only have to work at it if your work ethic or your execution falls off, then it will start to show. so i think they're good at getting it back on the rails when it starts to slip. so i think that's real important. from the ice to the pitch, alley krieger and the u.s. women's soccer team in the qualifier against puerto rico. it was krieger's washington spirit teammate in the show. mallory pugh, my favorite soccer player. >> any relation, jason? >> no relation. >> the united states is on the board. not even close to being done. usa up 7-nil. you see her putting in her fourth goal of the game. the united states women's national team record
