4:01 pm
end of the week. >> look at storm team 4 radar. not much to show you. the atmosphere is extremely dry. it's not going to be snowing just yet because it's dry. look at the snow really heavy down towards north carolina. starting to see snow falling in north carolina. none of this is hitting the ground towards virginia but it's separating the atmosphere. this storm is really getting its act together. this storm is going to be a monster off the coast. for us, it means a little bit of snow but enough snow that we have a winter weather advisory in effect. we have places off towards the east and winter storm warnings
4:02 pm
minute. >> it's going to be interesting to see that develop. thank you, doug. >> the cold is the big story for us. as you know, people need shelter to survive temperatures this low. >> that's why there's so much concern for a man who is missing. daniel dehaven was last seen in beltsville. there are a lot of issues that make them really concerned about this man, correct? >> reporter: absolutely. first of all, he's living with dementia. he was last seen here yesterday at 11:00 a.m. you know how cold it was last night and how cold it was today. there are still a few officers here in the parking lot. we had about 50 officers dispatched across beltsville. they are driving around the neighborhood that he knew so
4:03 pm
well. seeing if there's any possibility of anybody that has seen him walking around, anybody that can help. he's a native of the beltsville area. he's 5'9", 175 pounds, brown eyes. he was last seen in a black coat. prince george's county police are trying to get this man home as soon as possible. >> the snow is coming and the dipping temperatures are not on our side so we are working and that's why we actually need to get back and let these guys cut him loose so they can hit the neighborhood and start looking. >> reporter: this is not just the prince george's county police working on this. montgomery county, laurel police, greenbelt police. they have a farm nearby here so they have folks searching there as well. they are searching with the helicopter and they have bloodhounds out here putting their resources to work to try to find mr.

4:05 pm
for us at the live desk. erika? >> it's been a crazy day for water crews. they are working to get all of the repairs fixed. there's a lot of them. we want to start in kensington. crews are working to repair a six-inch main off of university boulevard. the good news here is that crews don't have to totally shut off the water so people will still have water but the pressure may be a little low. and water service has been restored for most people in oxen hill after a water main break on st. barnabas road. the school did not have water. they were working close to 80 water main breaks throughout montgomery and prince george's county alone. crews are stretched super thin and the company is asking you to be patient as they try to address all the issues throughout the area. back over to you
4:06 pm
studio. >> thank you, erika. we're working breaking news on that gruesome double murder that occurred in reston just days before christmas. the scene that police found inside that home, the case that got national attention. scott fricker and his wife buckley tried to stop their daughter from dating the suspect. according to these documents, fairfax county police found blood stains on numerous doors and walls inside the home. bullet fragments, holes in the ceiling and a hallway. the teenager is still in the hospital in critical condition and no charges have been announced. the trump campaign and a lot of political gossip and
4:07 pm
bannon. blayne alexander has been digging into this book all day. this is causing a lot of conversation inside and outside of the white house. >> leon, it's absolutely getting ugly, you're right about this. this book is based on the accounts of more than 200 people but it's truly drawing the anger from president trump. it is all out war between trump and steve bannon. >> disgusted would probably say it when you make such outrageous claims and completely false claims against the president whose administration and his family. donald trump jr. and jared kushner calling their now
4:08 pm
treasonous and unpatriotic. special counsel robert mueller may not be charged with collusion charges. >> he thinks mueller will go after trump on the issue of money laundering. >> reporter: president trump hitting back hard. a clearly angry statement from the white house reading in part, "when steve bannon was fired, he lost not only his job, he lost his mind." >> if anybody's been inconsistent, it's been him. it certainly hasn't been the president or his administration. >> reporter: bannon, once one of the president's most vocal cheerleaders, defended the legitimacy of the russia investigation long dismissed by president trump as a witch hunt saying of the president's son, they are going to crack don jr. like an egg on national tv. >> i think the degree of risk that trump has asked from mueller is so much greater now that flynn has flipped and now bannon has said certain things on the record. >> the book also paints an
4:09 pm
unflattering picture of election day, that he did not want to win and was shocked that he did. and a short time ago we learned that former trump campaign manager paul manafort is suing special counsel robert mueller and the justice department. manafort accuses mueller outside of his authority. lawyers for manafort and a spokesperson for the office have not commented. now to some new details in a pair of murders that d.c. police say might be connected. late last month, a man's body was tossed onto a busy road and then about an hour later police found a woman's body in the trunk of a burning car. investigators say the victims knew each other. this afternoon, we're hearing from the people who knew them. news4's pat collins is live in

4:12 pm
he helped raise her after her father was murdered back in 2006. nico and k.k. both have ties to a neighborhood on 2nd street in northwest. friends say they've known each other for some time. police tracing the last movements of the victims trying to solve these puzzling murder cases. leon and wendy, back to you. >> thank you, pat. what a heartbreaking situation. all right. we're going to change gears here and look forward to better year coming in 2018. we've got easy ways for you to get fit in 2018. tommy mcfly is going to put me through some paces here to show how he can embarrass me on television to make me exercise in front of you folks. >> hopefully it will be easy and simple. hey, a live look now at storm team 4 radar.

4:20 pm
let's show you what we're dealing with. plenty of cloud cover. the clouds have moved in and the temperatures have gone up. we told you yesterday, we hit around 34. boom. 34 degrees above freezing. that's not going to stop anything from affecting the roadways. winds out of the south at 6 miles an hour. current temperatures to the west, below freezing and even around portions of the east and west. when it starts to fall overnight, all of these temperatures are going to be below freezing and anything that falls will stick and that's why we have the winter weather advisory, prince william county and points to the east. now, i'm not expected much in these areas. however, even a coating of snow could have a big problem and i think the biggest problem is down towards southern maryland. down to the south and east, winter storm warning, especially down around the northern neck as well. and then over towards ocean city, a blizzard warning in
4:21 pm
effect for salisbury and rehoboth beach. charleston, south carolina, has seen over three inches of snow. the storm is just blossoming. we call this bombing off the coast. what does this mean? amelia will take a look. >> bomb cyclone is not a new term but it sounds interesting and that's why you're hearing about it so much today. i want to explain what that means. first, i'll give you the scientific explanation. you're going to be like, what? that's why i've never heard it before. dropping 24 millibars in 24 hours, what does that mean for you? it's rapidly intensifying. it's going to be around the same strength as far as millibars go as far as hurricane sandy, about 950 at its tightest, when it's most impressive. now you know, when
4:22 pm
bombogenesis, cold air is trapped up there and this storm is so strong and so intense that it is able to kind of tap and knockout that polar vortex and bring it into our area and that's the real story. not the snow but how cold it's going to be, especially on friday and saturday. >> and we're talking about that snow moving in. here we are at 11:00, down to the southeastern zone. by 1:00, snow enters the d.c. metro area and points to the south and east and around the i-95 corridor around 5:00 a.m., notice frederick and leesburg and warrenton, you may not see anything at all. one to two i
4:23 pm
southeastern zones and two to four farther south and then four to eight in that blizzard warning area around the salisbury and ocean city area. so once again, we're looking at a big-time snowstorm in our area off to the east. the bigger factor is going to be how cold it is. yes, we could see delays tomorrow for the snow and we could see them on thursday and friday from the frigid trea temperatures out there. sunday, a high of 24. overnight low temperatures, i think we set a couple of records at some of the area airports around our region and then watching monday very carefully, we could see a mix, maybe even freezing rain on monday. that would not be a good thing. we're going to continue to keep our eyes all over this much more throughout the hour. >> you got it. >> exciting. first at 4:00, we'll share four simple proven strategies to help you live a happy life. >> and the threat that could

a live look at what could be headed our way. this is charleston, south carolina. >> and that same system is headed up our way. it's going to hit us quite quickly. doug kammerer has more of what we can expect and when. parts of north carolina and southeast virginia and norfolk has a blizzard warning in effect. they are going to pick up 6 to 10 inches of snow in parts of the area. for us, we're not picking up that kind of snow. we're not picking up more than an inch in some locations. the storm is really starting to get its act together or bomb off the coast. that's why it's called a bomb. it's strengthening off the coast. 24 millibars in 24 hours.
4:32 pm
portions of the north carolina area and raleigh. it comes between, say, 3:00, 4:00 a.m. and 8:00 a.m. tomorrow morning. winter weather advisory in effect. any snow that falls will stick on the roadway. that's why you need to be prepared. we could see some cancellations and delays tomorrow morning. more on that coming up in 10 to 15 minutes. a commuter alert for people riding the blue and the orange lines tonight. metro trains are single tracking between smithsonian due to a possible cracked rail. it's too early to tell if this is weather-related. however, it's not uncommon when it gets this cold. there are delays in both direction. at the live desk, i'm erika gonzalez. i'm mark segraves. this is one of eight hypothermia vans that have been working around the clock for the past week helping the homeless to get off the streets during this frigid cold snap we've been

that did happen in 2016 with the monster storm that we had but this storm system is quite amazing. it's not going to be a huge snow maker for us but it's going to bring in extremely cold air and we have a chance for canceling or delaying school tomorrow because of snow and friday because of cold. out there right now, not too bad. the best day temperaturewise that we've seen, 34 degrees. winds out of the south at 6 miles per hour. take a look at what we have going on here as we move on through the radar. storm team 4 showing some snow trying to make its way down. the atmosphere is way too dry right now for that. we won't see anything develop overnight tonight. it looks like it's coming down and not reaching the ground just yet. as a matter of fact, none of this is reaching the ground just yet but it reaching the ground here, right along the coast down towards south carolina and in towards wilmington, north
4:47 pm
the coast and this storm, as we mentioned, bombing off the coast and that means intensifying extremely rapidly. we may see almost an eye type of system with this as it moves off the coast tomorrow on the satellite picture. winter weather advisory in effect for everyone in the purple. winter storm warning off towards the east and there's the blizzard warning for areas along the beaches and also towards the salisbury, maryland area. you can see where this storm is. brutal and bad. even an inch of snow will have a big problem with the roadways out there because it will all stink. notice around 5:00 a.m., you notice where the line is, right along i-95, down to the south and east, this is where there could be problems on the road. they are a big issue here. road conditions, slick thursday morning, thursday afternoon, still some slick spots and even friday morning because of the cold we could stay on the slick side. so who has the bst
4:48 pm
amelia is taking a closer look at that right now. >> this is the time, doug. turn the pajamas on inside out. go to bed with fingers crossed. the best chance for school cancellation is east of 95. i've broken it down county-by-county. this isn't a for sure thing. possibly canceled if you're in prince georges, anne arundel, charles, st. mary's county and king george's county as well. maybe some delays in parts of the county here in yellow. that could be washington, arlington, alexandria, fairfax, prince william, fauquier and carol counties. and then as you head farther back to the west, you don't have to worry about turning the
4:49 pm
you can see the panhandle and washington county and winchester. but those areas that are open tomorrow, they have the best chance to be delayed on friday. 6:00 a.m., windchills, areawide below zero. i'll be posting the feels-like temperatures on my twitter page talking about the weekend. brutally cold. >> absolutely. you look at these numbers that we're talking about here, into the teens. 19 on friday and 18 on saturday. 24 on sunday as we start to break out. the dangerous cold and near record low temperatures here. not just in the d.c. area but around dulles. i think we get to the dulles airport and break those records easily. we did break a record this morning. dulles got to 1 degree. the record was 8. 24 on sunday much watching monday very closely. a high temperature in the low 30s but we could see ice on monday. that's a storm system we're going to be watching very, very closely. tuesday, a high temperature of 43. as we move towards early next week, it gets a
4:50 pm
but we are cold. i'll take this cold over this cold any day. >> balmy. >> we're with you on that one, that's for sure. >> yeah. and if you are braving, as we all are this cold weather, know that it can be deadly and dangerous and bad for your health as the temperatures go down, the health issues go up. dr. jackie of asthma care and gaithersburg is joining us to help us avoid some of the problems. and i thought it was interesting that frostbite is one of the things that you were talking about. >> what you need to know is that it comes in stages. it's called frost nip and if it gets too white, that's the deeper layers. what you've got to be careful about is the spend damages that stick out. that would be fingers and mit
4:51 pm
tens. >> all he see are the bicycle cops and eyes are an issue when it gets this cold. >> yes. a lot of people don't think about it. your eyes can be easily damaged from high wind and lots of cold. wearç goggles. don't forget, if we get snow tomorrow, it's going to really bother the uva rays. have sunglasses on as well. >> someone told me that their contact lens froze to their eye. >> it can be happen. be careful. >> that's crazy. >> people with asthma, i'm assuming anything with lungs, has got to be an issue. even just your sinuses get inflamed from this cold, dry weather. >> yes. the problem is, you already have the inflammation from asthma and then it makes you cough. if you weren't taking care of your asthma to begin with, this could be deadly. the key is, if you're already on an asthma medication, stay on it. if you fell off the wagon, get back on your maintenanc
4:52 pm
inhaler. wrap up with the scarf and breathe in the warm air. >> we all say, i can feel the storm is coming. i feel it in my joints. that's true. we actually feel it in our joints. >> yes. >> even when it's continually cold. >> and especially people whovil who have arthritis. you really need to be careful about that. and particularly with older folks, you need to be careful about that. they need to be able to stretch out and worry about things like balance. >> especially you don't want anybody
4:53 pm
