north charleston. you can see the roads completely covered there and traffic, they are not used to this stuff. it is going very slowly. >> no, they are not. they've closed all kinds of roads, highways and bridges down in charleston. the big question, how much of that snow are we going to see in our area? doug is tracking the move with us. he's starting us off from the storm center. what's the latest, doug? >> this storm is moving in pretty quickly overnight tonight and into the day tomorrow. by this time tomorrow morning, we'll have about an inch of snow on the ground in parts of the area. nothing on radar right now. you can see the snow trying to make its way in down to the south and it's extremely dry and it's going to take a long time before it hits the ground in our region. but down to the south, not only is it hitting the ground, it's coming down big time around charleston. some locations picking up three to six inches from the snow already and now we're looking at areas south of raleigh around wilmington, very h

snow going offshore may be clipping ocean city. i have them at four to eight inches of snow but you can see it moving in our region. the road temperatures are ex tro treemly cold. that's why we have this winter weather advisory in most of the area along i-95 and to the east. even areas like montgomery county, fairfax county, frederick and loudoun county. much more on this and what it means to you. the updated snowfall totals and what to expect next. we could see days of school delays and cancellations. more on that in a minute. >> a quick reminder, news4 will be working for you as the snow is coming in. we have team coverage live reports from ocean city and up to the minute school delays and cancellations all tomorrow morning. in less than two

pretreat our roads. shomari stone is joining us. shomari? >> reporter: we're here at the public works command center. this place is going to fill up around midnight and they'll monitorç the different snowplo here and then the busy intersection and, for example, they show intersections throughout the district. you've got pennsylvania avenue, southern avenue southeast, 17th street, 7th street and independent avenue southwest. what they will do is have emergency calls potentially from these different areas of people who need help and they will call the snow emergency people in this room and then the trucks will be deployed right over here. this is where the trucks are right now. each truck has a gps on it and around 8:00 they will pretreat the roads and then will

throughout the district to make sure that the roads are being treated. you're now going to hear from the d.c. public works director christopher shorter. >> motorists tomorrow morning, we're going to be working throughout the night tonight to make sure that we do our very best to clear roads for tomorrow morning's commute. >> reporter: basically, just make sure that you're careful when you're out there and keep in mind the weather las behas b cold that any type of snowfall or precipitation could cause black ice. i'll bring you another live report at 11:00 on nbc washington news4. live here in northwest d.c., i'm shomari stone, news4. >> shomari, thank you. a person needs shelter to survive in this kind of extreme cold. >> that's why there is so much concern for a missing man this evening. chopper 4 followed detectives this afternoon as they searched fo

k-9s scoured the area behind costco. he has dementia, his family members say. >> tracee wilkins is live in beltsville. what are the detectives doing right now to find this man? >> reporter: they are doing everything they can to try to find him. can you begin to imagine what this family is feeling tonight. he was last seen here in the costco parking lot. beltsville has a lot of places for someone to go. there are a lot of stores and shops and police are looking everywhere to try and find him. >> reporter: police taking flyers into local businesses. >> we need help finding daniel dehaven. he has dementia and went missing yesterday. >> reporter: he's a father and husband whose been missing

these freezing temperatures for the last 24 hours. >> temperatures are going to dip again and it is critical that we locate mr. dehaven. >> reporter: he was last seen on tuesday around 11:30 a.m. in the costco area near buildsville. mr. dehaven has dementia. >> we're going to go back into the wooded area behind here. >> reporter: they hope that he's someplace warm. >> there's a possibility he is inside one of those places and people don't realize he's not a paying customer. >> reporter: helicopters have been flying since last night. the biggest enemy is time and our bone-chilling weather. >> it was very, very cold last night. i hope and pray he's in a warm space. prince george's county police are still staging here more than 50 officers are canvassing this area and they are doing

adoption policy even though there was already an incriminating e-mail chain. the russian government offered to provide dirt on hillary clinton and trump jr. responded by saying, if it's what you say, i love it. >> and there is a concern about the inner workings of the white house. >> there's also a lot of political gossip in there. >> blayne alexander has been pouring through it all and joins us with more. juicy stuff in there? >> reporter: you're absolutely right. that was a must-read book all day today. the book came from more than 200 accounts from different people close to the president but it was words from one of the closest, steve bannon, that's really drawing the anger from president trump. it is all out war between president trump and his one-time right-hand man steve bannon. >> curious, disgusted would probably fit when you make such outrageous claims and

false claims against the president, his administration and his family. >> reporter: the white house trying to discredit an explosive new book in which bannon rips into the president's son donald jr. and jared kushner calling the now infamous trump meeting treasonous and unpatriotic. robert mueller may not be pursing 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 the administration. >> reporter: in a shocking reversal, bannon, once one of the president's most vocal cheerleaders, defended the legitimacy of the russia investigation long dismissed by

saying that they are going to crack don jr. like an egg on national tv. >> i think the degree of risk that trump is at for mueller is that flynn has fled and now bannon has said certain things on the record. >> reporter: the book paints an unflattering picture on election night, that he did not want to win and was shocked when he did. many describe the chaotic nature inside of the white house. one memo supposedly coming from a senior memo inside that white house describing president trump as someone who will not read anything, he has a short attention span and described his son-in-law and adviser jared kushner as a baby. >> blayne alexander, thank you. two in direct senators were sworn in today. doug jones takes over a seat in alabama after

moore last month. vice president joe biden was on hand. he and jones are long-time friends and tina smith of minnesota fills the vacancy by al franken's resignation. republicans now have 51 seats. democrats have 47 seats. independents who caucus with democrats hold two. so the breakdown stands at 51-49. republicans still controlling the chamber by their very slim margin. >> a local musician is gone but not forgotten. the tough sentence for the woman convicted of giving him a deadly dose of opioids. how this case is an example on the crackdown on opioid crimes. a local woman says she never got her money back from a clothing website. $5,000 worth. so she called the nbc 4 responds team. we'll show you what happened and our coverage on this weather alert is just ramping up.

victims. >> she's just a free spirit, wouldn't hurt a fly. >> kk lewis, it 3 years old, armani coles, 27. described as two childhood friends, murdered on the same day, two miles apart. the time difference, about one hour. december 28, the body of a man tossed out on to kendallworth avenue, the victim described as armani who worked as a building engineer for the last six years. about one hour later, about two miles away, in an alley behind adrian street,

lewis, shot multiple times, locked in the trunk of her lexus car. the car torched, engulfed in flames, leaving no chance for her to escape. >> it's tragic. i don't have words to put on it. she didn't deserve it. >> reporter: what kind of person would do something like that? >> it's a cruel world out there. we tried to relay that message to her every day. >> reporter: that's william sharp, he's k.k.'s grandfather. he helped raise her after her father was murdered back in 2006. niko and k.k. have tries to a street on second street northwest. friends say they've known each other for some time. now, if you know anything about these murder

it shouldn't take a cash reward to get someone to come forward here. doreen, back to you. >> let's hope somebody does and soon. thank you, pat collins reporting. back to our weather now and the winter weather headed right for us. >> we're doubling up with team coverage. doug and amelia, take it away. >> any time you see two of us -- >> we've noticed. >> if there's three of us here, you've got some real issues. >> then we're talking about a hurricane probably. >> this is going to be impactful on two sets. the snow first and then the cold air that comes in. >> and speaking of hurricanes, this is a hurricane of sorts, a winter hurricane without the rain. we're seeing snow, sleet, up and down the east coast. >> that's why this is such a big storm. sheena will talk more about that. i'm talking about your cold temperatures now and the snow that's coming in overnight tonight. 32 degrees and winds out of the southeast at 8 miles per

everybody at or below freezing, we briefly get above freezing but we're back below freezing now and the roads have been so cold. anything that is going to fall is going to stick immediately. frederick county, maryland, parts of southern fauquier, loudoun county and points to the south and east. you may only get a coating in some of these areas if that but even a coating of snow is about to produce slick roadways. winter storm warning in effect for parts of the eastern shore. snow and wind. 50-mile-per-hour winds early tomorrow morning. look at this. blizzard warnings all the way up towards maine and towards charleston, south carolina. that's how big this storm system is and it continues to develop. it's really what is called i

coast. what does that mean? amelia has more on that. >> we figured today, since everybody is talking about it why not explain what it means. first, i'll give you the scientific term. you may be saying, i don't know what that is and i need a simplified explanation. take a look. the technical definition a meteorologist uses is when a cyclone, an area of low pressure, drops at least 24 millibars in 24 hours. so this is a really intense system. speaking of just putting bomboagain sbomb bombogenesis, it means a rapidly developing storm. why not give you more weather

it sends dangerously cold air down into our area and it moves in friday morning and we see some school delays likely tomorrow and even cancellations. i really think we'll see more widespread cancellations because of how cold it'sç going to be. first we have to deal with some snow. >> exactly. the snow is moving into up and across our region. notice, between 1:00 and 5:00, snowing from d.c. down to the south and east and also notice that incredibly sharp line. we call that a gradient between leesburg and d.c. snowing in d.c., nothing in leesburg and coming down pretty good out there towards the chesapeake bay and then just about everybody getting rid of the snow about 8:00, 9:00 tomorrow before the cold air and the wind come back in. who is going to get what? a very tight

towards the dulles area, towards d.c. and close to about half an inch or an inch in those locations. one to two inches in parts of southern maryland. two to four in southern portions of southern maryland and then four to eight inches out there towards ocean city. could be even more than that. that's something we'll continue to watch for you. the next couple of days, extreme cold. tomorrow, friday and saturday, weather alert each of those days. frigid weather highs, only in the teens and next monday, that could be a weather alert day, too, as we deal with a chance of ice associated with another storm system moving our way. lots to talk about but right now it's the next 7 it hou2 hours wt to worry about. >> thank you, doug and amelia. a potential roadside danger. new results from our story about guardrails that could do more harm than good. i'm erika gonzalez. chopper 4 is over the scene of what montgomery county police areal
