if it stays to the south, fredericksburg, you may be dry. so this track can still change. is storm system off to the western coast of florida right now before it tracks to the carolinas. do we have problems tomorrow morning? yeah. outh, especially through virginia, if your travels take you through richmond into north carolina, watch out, lot of snow in those areas. temperatures cold enough to support 30s throughout the day. look at this moisture right here, raleigh getting pummelled with snow, same as asheville. there is ae very f line of who is seeing snow and who isn't. you may see flakes in dry ricksburg but a lot of air is winning out so this dry air is trying to competeis with moisture from the deep south and the dry air is winning. that's why we sve thatrp cutoff line. but that moisture will start to overtake the dry air.

when will that happen? that will have an impact on snow totals. we know what we have a winter weather advisory south further south than that we have winter storm warnings but not for our e area, w weather advisories expire at midnight tonight. a look at tho temperatures in the 20s and 30s. if new montgomer county, you'll be lucky to see a few flurries, d.c.ill have a better chance into fairfax county. then to the south we have one to ghree inches, quantico marine base, fredericksbhrough southern maryland including colonial beach and through cent vl shenandoahley and heavier totals to the south so .ou can see we have snow. here's the li looks like somebody took scissors and cut along that so any time mid-morning to early afternoon we'll see the snow move in.

it will meander through evening slip off to the south and east as the area of l moves off the coast of the carolinas. any snow will melt through the day tomorrow with temperatures in the low 40sos. monday, tuesday, wednesday, thursday quiet. friday and saturday we have rain chances with temperatures back into the 50s. coming back in just about15, 20 minutes or so we'll talk about chances for school delays around our ea so tune in for that. i'm mark murray of nbc news. the potentially giganti field democratic presidential candidates for 2020 is narrowing. so long michael avenatti, good-bye former massachusetts governor deval patrick. and the scrutiny is on some of the democrats who eye the upcoming presidential race. example number one, the "neep york times"ted how progressives and minority groups criticized massachusetts senator

well, the holidays are

synonymous with traveling. wh wants to leave home for a while without their furry friends? our chuck bell is workinguor yo with tips and traveling with your pets. >> it's the busy travel season you plan to take your p with you, it's important to plan ahead. alexandra dilley with the humane rescue alliance is here with ouvice but first, tell us mr. carlin here. >>his is carlin, he's eigh e ars old, a poodle mix and he is in foster with mane rescue alliance looking for a home. he's very sweet, he's house trained and he's crate trained and he's very sweet and calm. >> so he's eight, that means he'll be a little more low key? >> yes. ou >> and trained and crate trained are two big steps. >> really nice and he loves sweaters. >> he looks great with his christs tartan. i like that you got the one with the white fleece that matches

his fur. and perfect for somebody who doesn't want a high energy pet. >> exactly. >> he looks like the perfect little lap dog. >> he is. le>> i hope we have no tro getting carlin. sometimes smaller and low energy is easier to adopt out. >> very true. >> good luck, he'd make a fine additiono anybody's family. if you are traveling with pets you have, what are the easy dos and don'ts? >> an easy do is to get them ed to the crate. you're almost always going to need to have some kind of travel carrier to transport your cts whether , train or airplane so you don't want to just put them in the crate when rst get to the airport because they will be really t freaked the whole situation so give them treats, get them used to it, give them their food, gethem comfy bedding for the crate so they

sleep in their there ny and when you're ready to travel they'll be more ready to go. >> people think crate training, how cruel, you lock your dog. it's amazing. i never had to crate train a dog but when i had a bigger dog, i thought this dog can eat the house so it needs to be trained to be in a crate. they love their crate. >> and iyou're taking them to families' house they can hang out in their crate and t somewhere familiar to be instead of just in a foreign room. >> and also it would be best to bring their own food with them as well? >> absolutely. >> don't want to be switching up the diet. y medications or anything like if you're going to be flying? should you give your dog a doggie downer? >> they don't recommend that. i don't think they allow it because if anything happens and if your dog is in cargo nobody can get to them to help them so it's morstress to feel travel with your dog in cargo which is why i would suggest not doing it. i would only travel with a small dog and try to set up t sitting or a kennel for a larger dog.

with a smaller dog you can put them in a carrier and put it under ur seat and most airlines allow that if you pay extra. >> awesome. that's very important advice for sure. thank you for coming in and bringing mr. carlin along with you. he's practically gone to sleep. thank you for coming in and travel safe with your pet us there the holiday season and you can find out to adopt carlin by going to their web site humanerescuealliance.org. >> best dog ever. >> that dog is everybody on monday morning. >> true, just chilling. >> total mood. it's a red banner dayt news4. >> weather alert day. not for all of our area but he south. >> we had a picture of roanoke and the airport, it was

un again? justhecked roanoke's flight status, it's all cancelled? >> i know a lot of people a that are flreng. >> the all cancelled? >> it's steady. >> guys, roanoke is going to get a foot of snow. dato ev>> erbut we won't see it. maino this is going stay south of d.c. we're talking about fredericksalrg, we'reng about southern maryland. those are the areas that have a likely chance. about a 75% chance of seein snow. we can play with that little bit left from there because this storm system sinks t the south. we may not see anything in our area so a 25% chance we may see nothing. as far as wha we' talking about, that's what we're seeing in purple. charles unty, st. mary's county going through stafford,

spotsylvania, king george, eve southern fauquier, cull pupper, page, those are theas a in this winter weather advisory. farther south, those are the in pink. the snow is trying to make its aving onere but it's he can of a time doing it. it's mainly staying to the south bu t look at sharp cutoff line. we have a lot of dry air from the north battling with this moist air moving from the south. the dry air is winning. that's why our friends to the south aren'tin seeing any but i believe this dry air can break down as this moisture gets a little bit more full and as thiw area ofressure moves off the coast of the carolinas. e could see some more snowflakes but only to about right here. if you're in the greater washington area, you'll see flurries. temperatures cold enoughor to su snow. we're talking about 20s and 30s. 30s throughout much of the day. so culpepper, you are on the edge. pretty much culpepper,
