two... one... two... three... three... four... four... five... five... six... six...

we're continuing to watch fris system trying to edge into portions of ericksburg, portions of southern maryland. if you are north of d.c., yore probablyeeing sunshine right now, lucky you. i think you will see some sunshine, you will be precipitationree, no snow no rain, looking good if you're north of d.c. if you're d.c. aat g washington area, fairfax county or loudoun countyng g after prince george's county, some flurries south of d.c.. that's where we have the estion. and some snow. winter weather advisory south of d.c.t we'll sort out zone by zone, neighborhood by neighborhood in about six minutes. >> t lauryn,nk you. 10:30, another staff shakeup is in the works for the trump >> the president confirming his chief of staff john kelly will be out by the end of the year. hereo make sen of all this, moderator of "meet the pss" chuck todd. every week we're dealing with this stuff but the kelly stuff

feltike it wascoming, right? >> from the day he became chief of staff. it seemed likehe rumors began how long he was going to be there. it was never a good fit. in fairness to the president, had he not had a history of a dysfunctional wt wing, you would say this is a reasonable time to chae chief of staff. john kelly doesn't have the same litical experience so i think the president needs a new chief of staff in this instance that is more politically savvy. but is this going do anything to end that back-bitingysfunction that has -- whether fs reince priebus, whether i kelly.hn i don't think it will. then again, there are slee peop that say don't bother with the chief of staff, you don't like it anyway, you lee to bour own chief of staff and that's -- kelly stopped being sort of the president's chief and just essentially was

. e manager of everybody else >> so no big impact expected with him exiting at this point. i want to talk about the sentencing documents in the michael cohen case. does this mean trouble for president trump? >> in short, ikelihood of an imr has shot up exponentially. you nower have the f government, the justice department indicating the president may havfe committed a ny in coordination with michael cohen. you have michael coh aeging people in and around the president knew he was going to lie to congress. the point is that is -- theho e democrats are getting to a point where i belie many of them who just got elected, the last thingwant to do is have impeachment as their first it

item. the consequences of not investigating would be as politically perilous for some democrats and f they do bring this up so that's the bottom line. there's enough spinound where congress is obligated? >> i want to talk about bush 41. at a week it wasn washington. you know, watching that, i think that -- so many people tught of the class, the way they handled themselves and the bur family almost resembled a modern day kennedy family, just the lineage they have. >> i woulday this. no matter what you think of the politics of the bush family, they alwadid always view themse as custodians of america democracy and the since with hw bush's funeral that it had a regalut feel the man was

humble. so many people talked about as an end of aera. he was the last president where he made sure theas presidency bigger than the person and i would argue starting with bill clinton going throughen the pres we have now, in each case whether it's us as voters, us as the press, we've made the esident bigger than the presidency which in turn arguably h shrunken the presidency. and so perhaps this week people saw why it is a better thing when the presidenc lis considerger than any one individual. >> and what a eulogy by the youngebush. >> had you cracking up and crying at the same time. >> it was a son talking about his dad and we learned stuff about him. we only knew him professionally and bheccoli thing but that was about it. that was a b talking about his father. >> good stuff. i'm sure you'll have thoughts about that on the show today.

you can see "meet the press" sunday a 10:30 after news 4 today. you want to ask lauryn about the snow. >> how bad is it going to be over the next -- are we getting this nasty snowstorm before the end of the year? >> maybe.

we have our winter weather advisory for areas in purple coming throughon porof southern maryland into fauquier county and fredericksburg. stafford and spotsylvania counties, just because you here in this area doesn't mn you'll have a lot of snow so i want to poin that out for t kids watching thinking hey, i might not have school tomorrow, there's a lot of factors, any snow for what, charlottesville, roanoke, ashevie, raleigh getting into the snow, so snow to the south. the area of low pressure is just coming throughia geo and will travel off the coast of the carolinas. it may track further to thi north means d.c. we could see snow. if it tracks to the south, it meanfredericksburg, you won't
