all. there are a lot of people joining us live on facebook now that are asking about travel. is this going to impact flights on tuesday or wednesday. and even if it doesn't impact a lot of people here, other parts of the country. >> bus and train travel between here and philadelphia, new york city, and boston, likely impacted on tuesday, especially. the major cities there. they're going to be getting a lot more snow than we will likely get. we're going to have -- on the early developmental stages of the storm, they're going to be taking the full brunt of it up there. we have a winter storm watch in effect, all these areas in blue across northern virginia, metro area, much of maryland, panhandle of west virginia, 7:00 p.m. monday to 2:00 p.m. on tuesday, the winter storm watch is in effect because there could be 5 inches or more. some roads impassable. don't get plows or treated. power outages possible tuesday afternoon because of strong gusts of wind. today, good day to get some exercise. temperatures up around 40 degrees by 2:00 p.m. a lot of sun this afternoon.

we'll have actually mildest temperatures toward late afternoon. with daylight saving time, our sunset is an hour later, at 7:12 this evening. all clear on storm team 4 radar now. by the way you can see all the latest postings of latest snow total maps and all of the updates doing here on social media, facebook, twitter and instagram. share those with your friends and family that may not be checking in on tv. right now, hour by hour, this area in green, this is 7:00 p.m. monday. this is rain. this looks like it may start as rain in southern maryland, encountered cold air and turns into snow, all this area in lavender is snow. so by 8:00, 9:00, 10:00 p.m. on monday evening, that's when the snow will really start coming down. really pick up in intensity by midnight or so. like 3:00 in the morning, this pink zone, the yellow and orange, that's rain and sleet. that should keep

farther north and west of the 95 corridor. then by 10:00, on tuesday morning, really starts to taper off and -- first look at totals expected, maybe just 2 to 5 inches metro area because of that rain on tuesday. but staying with all snow, higher amountses, 5 to 10, north and west of the metro area. highest amounts 10 inches or so near the pennsylvania border. north central maryland, northeastern maryland. southern maryland, eastern shore, much lower amounts because of a lot of rain there. and then we'll get gusty winds on wednesday and cold. above freezing tuesday afternoon, may get melting. then refreezing on wednesday morning. and then wednesday, with gusty winds, it will only be in the low 30s, maybe a few snow showers and still colder than average thursday, friday, with sun back, maybe a wintry mix next saturday, no big deal. and then milder into the first part of next week. that's the way it looks. >> tom, thank you very much. coming up, an upgrade on the roads that could put millions out of a job, major change and

>> reporter: it is more than a slogan. some 3.5 million americans drive big rigs and delivery trucks. long haul truck drivers earn an average of $40,000 a year for the hard work and long hours and it doesn't require a college degree. >> i always wanted to be a truck driver so -- >> just going to pull up. >> reporter: students like these are learning the trade at a moment of change in the industry. revolutionary driverless technology means more than half of the country's truck drivers could lose their jobs to automation. >> we think trucks go on sale by 2020. i would be surprised if in ten years a lot of the largest trucking carriers of the country aren't significantly autonomous. >> reporter: daimler showed off the technology in las vegas, in 2015. their goal is to assist drivers as they plan to keep them at the helm. other companies are rolling out programs that could put technology in the driver's seat. technology, the future, the

trucker? >> i mean, certainly it is the future. you'renot going to stop the technology. >> reporter: a profession driven by code and computers. >> the truck driver of -- also will be a technical engineer and if there is a problem with the hardware or software, they're going to have to figure it out. >> new jobs for everyone in society, the highly skilled, highly educated, but the ones that are not so educated or skilled, where are the jobs for them. that would be the downside. >> reporter: for some, there is no substitute for a human driver. >> there may be a computer that can drive a truck from a to b on a straight line. but there will never be a computer that will be able to navigate a truck in the heart of manhattan. never. >> but those who want to stay in trucking for the long haul should expect a changing industry. stephanie rule, nbc
