>> really? >> they're curious about the snow we might get in this area. tucker, it's not just the talk of the town here. >> no. this is making nationwide rounds at this point. i think it will continue to be a big story this weekend. not only the mid-atlantic and washington area, but pennsylvania and new york, they'll get a heavy wet snow as well. let's get right to the maps, take a look. there's your satellite radar. you can see that across the region we're looking at generally clear skies now. today no problems. kind of partly cloudy. very cool. highs later today in the low 50s. south and west, that's our developing storm system. it will become a nor'easter. it will tap into very cold air over portions of canada. this is more typical of a winter time pattern and bring down cold air. it's possible we'll have some snow as close as some of our suburbs here off to the north and west, as we get into tomorrow afternoon and tomorrow evening. already winter storm watch. all the counties in blue. not washington, not baltimore, not the immediate counties, but

off to the west. frederick county, north maryland, portions of west virginia under a winter storm watch. you could see accumulating snow starting late tonight and during the day tomorrow. particularly the mountains and elevations above 1500 feet, we're thinking several inches, maybe 5 or 6 inches. that's cold, 41 degrees. humidity 65%. bring along a jacket this morning. partly sunny conditions. 52 daytime high in washington. 47 martinsberg. rain will get in early tomorrow. i'll have more details on the weekend forecast coming up in a few minutes. allison, back to you. thank you. our top story is the weather this morning. teams in d.c. and prince george's cone are helping to get the one up on mother nature. >> here's a live look from rfk stadium where they're holding a snow preparedness drill. there's a similar scene in forestville. fox5's sherri ly joining us

with more. i guess we should stress these were preplanned. >> reporter: that's right. purely coincidence, tony. kind of ironic, though, that there is snow in the forecast. but here in prince george's county, not enough to plow through. but they are ready. we have the salt domes full. plows were out today hitting the streets to make sure they are ready when a real snowstorm hits. this morning's drill started around 4:00 a.m., about 200 snow plows went out, practicing their routes and testing equipment. the drill done the last friday every october, also allows them to spot pot holes and other problems early. this year prince george's county has added a gps system to all of its snow plows so they can tell which streets have been plowed and allocate their resources. inspectors will also have cameras in their cars to capture pictures of road conditions. if you saw a snow plow this morning, don't panic, no need to run to the store for toilet

paper and bread. >> anybody give you funny looks this morning? >> you know they did. they want to know when is it going to snow. i told them hopefully they're calling for some for the weekend. >> reporter: you want it to snow? >> yes, i want it to snow. >> reporter: you're ready to work? >> yes, i am. >> reporter: despite some of us who may not like all that snow, there are people out there who do like it. the gps system, prince george's county plans to use this year, and starting next year people will be able to log on to the county's web site and see where the plows are and which streets have been plowed as well. that's the latest in forestville, back to you. >> thank you. tony? main engines start, one, zero, and liftoff of the delta 2 with the mpp satellite, blazing the way of new

technology for climate research and weather forecasting. >> with that, nasa has launched its newest environmental satellite, the npp satellite as its called blasted off from california earlier today. we carried it live this morning. it will be operated by a noaa facility in maryland. nasa says the satellite will orbit the earth about 14 times a day and provide advanced warnings about severe weather, including new data on the climate. >> you're looking at the oceans, atmosphere and the land to really provide that information of how these systems work together and how our planet is changing. >> it's a step ahead on the key instruments both for research about the earth and the weather forecasting precision and refinement that will allow our forecast reliability take a small step forward as well. >> it's replacing another satellite that's approaching the end of its design life. jurors in the lululemon

murder trial have heard recordings of norwood talking to police hours after prosecutors say she killed her coworker, jayna murray. the trial just resumed a few minutes ago. paul wagner has been covering this case and joining us from the courthouse in rockville with the latest and what's expected. paul, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, allison. not sure exactly what to expes yesterday we heard from a couple of nurses. one was the same nurse who did the sex assault examination on brittany norwood. another nurse was the primary care worse. then we heard from deena mackie, the detective who did the first interview with norwood. that was very telling. it was the first time we heard norwood's voice. she has a refined, very soft voice. she speaks very clearly. the interview was quite interesting to say the at least, because she was in a hospital bed, and she had blood all over her face still. they didn't want to clean her

up when this detective was talking to her. initially she didn't sound like she wanted to talk to the detective. then she backed off a little bit, and said, okay i'll answer some questions. it was a lot of particulars, where do you work, where do you live, how old are you, do you have sisters or brothers? then it went from there. there was a lot of conversation about what happened inside that store. it got very interesting. >> we had a lawyer in talking today and a lot of the talk, paul, was about basically her lawyers, brittany norwood's, saying yes, she did this crime, but it was not premeditated. that seems to be what it comes down to now. >> reporter: there's no doubt the question here is this jury going to find her guilty of first degree premeditated murder or second degree murder. because as we all know, the lawyers admitting she did it. the question is, can this prosecutor make the case that

this was a setup, that jayna murray was lured back to the store and that brittany norwood planned this all along. or was this just a fight that happened at the spur of the moment and norwood lost it, as douglas wood said happened. the state's case is going to be interesting to see here in the next couple of days. >> you will be covering it. we are enjoying your blogs from inside the courtroom. we thank you for joining us, taking time out to talk with us this morning, paul. >> reporter: okay, allison. new this morning, the deaths of a patient at a maryland hospital is under investigation. state police were called to the clifton per kins facility in jessup around 8:00 last night after staff found a man dead in his room. the patient said to be in his 30s isn't being identified until his family is notified. police hope an autopsy planned for today will reveal the exact cause of death. investigators are considering all possibilities, including homicide. the search continues for a

missing 8-year-old virginia boy. law enforcement and volunteer crews are concerned the colder weather could be an issue. robert wood, jr. has autism and rarely speaks. he's been missing since sunday when he wandered away from his family at north battlefield park. last night cold wet conditions stepped up the certainly. however, the colder weather is helpful for scent dogs. huge crowds are turning out to search, including a gaithersburg man whose son also has autism. >> we were separated from our son when he was about 8 years old. we were in delaware. in a crowd, unlike the situation in hanover county. our son was separated from us in a heavy crowd. >> volunteer training began this morning at 9:00. a northern virginia man is in jail, accused of secretly videotaping a woman in a shower. he is a custodian at the

healing hearts counseling center. a staff member says she found a video camera hidden in the shower area. police say the suspect placed the camera there and videotaped the victim three times. we are finding out some of the surprising details from the federal investigation into d.c. mayor vince gray's campaign last year. brown claims mayor gray handed him a list of talking points to use against then mayor fenty. if true, it would show the two worked closely together during the election. but the feds would have to prove mayor gray wrote the points or personally handed the list to brown. mayor gray denies wrong doing here. maryland republican party is calling on the justice department to investigate governor o'malley's new redistricting map. meantime, a maryland man has filed a lawsuit. he says the map dilutes the voting power among those in the agriculture industry in the 6th

district. supporters say the map with us approved last week, reflects population changes. it moves a large part of montgomery county into the western maryland district. republicans and democrats on the debt super committee offer alternate plans to cut trillions from the federal budget. a gop package of proposals including $2.2 trillion in steep spending cuts, but no new taxes. it is a counter offer to a $3 trillion democratic plan that relies on some spending cuts, and new taxes on wealthy households. with less than a month to reach an agreement, lawmakers appear far from striking a deal. a high profile dinner guest for a restaurant last night. president obama ate at the liberty tavern with four campaign donors. they won the meal with the president through a fund raising promotion. president obama shared a table with two retirees, u.s. postal service worker and business owner. the president we're told had a salad and swordfish. >> i've never had to

concentrate so much on one piece of food in my life. it was great. >> quite an honor. once in a lifetime opportunity for all of us at the restaurant and also the four guests who had an opportunity to have dinner with the president. >> the donors are from arizona, colorado, minnesota, states all important to the president. this weekend thousands of people will be lacing up their running shoes for the marine corps marathon. sunday 43,000 are expected to participate in the marathon 10- k and kids' fun run. thousands more will line the streets to cheer them on. it starts at 8:00 in the morning sunday in arlington. it goes through d.c. and enat the marine corps war memorial. several streets will be closing in the hours before race. complete list on myfoxdc.com, under web links. metro riders can take a short cut from the red to blue and yellow lines free of

according to the american foundation for suicide prevention, one in five people will lose a family member to suicide during their lifetime. it's a startling statistic, and an effort to reduce the number of suicides in our community, the organization is organizing a walk for this weekend. joining us now with more information, are peggy, president of the american foundation for suicide prevention, and board chair, steve. thank you for coming in. it is a tough subject, and that's one of the things you want to bring attention to, the fact that those who have known

someone who committed suicide, had a family member who committed suicide, it's sometimes tough to talk about it. i guess what the message is that you want to get out is that it needs to be talked about to some extent. that helps get people where they need to be to seeking treatment. can you talk a little bit about that? >> absolutely. there is still so much stigma that surrounds both suicide, suicidal feelings and mental health issues, that that's one of the reason we are in existence to work on that stigma and also allow people to feel free to get the help to prevent suicide. >> i know in some of your literature you liken it to in the 80s people didn't like to talk about aids, it was swept under the rug for a time. why is it like that when it comes to suicide and mental health issues? >> i think there's just a long standing sort of belief that somehow you're a weak person or you have some kind of

functional deficit or something if you end up with a mental illness, and that's not true. we now know most mental illnesses are brain disorders, and people really do suffer. other people also don't know how to handle it, so they may end up pulling away from it instead of trying to help the person. >> steve, talk to us, if you can, about what drew you to this organization. >> right. i'm happy to. about 12 years ago i suffered a major depression and at that time was suicidal. had constant thoughts about ending my life. it was a painful experience, but luckily i got treatment and help. i feel stronger today than ever. i take medication daily to help with my depression and manage that quite well. but sadly, about six years ago, i lost my nephew to suicide. a year after the day he lost his life, i joined about 2,000 people in san francisco on the overnight walk. with a really helped both my brother and i during that walk

was to realize this isn't an isolated issue. there were over 2,000 people walking that event. and all of them had lost somebody to suicide. it helped my brother start his recovery. then about a year later i noticed an ad in a local paper about a walk and i volunteered to help. we've done five walks now in fairfax county. our walk tomorrow in d.c. is the fifth annual walk. >> one of the reasons i wanted to get you in here to talk about this, it's an important issue, and i have experienced it firsthand. i lost, and something i don't talk about, it's difficult, but i lost my father to suicide, almost 20 years ago. it's painful to talk about. you're right, sometimes you don't know how others will react to that. the goal of the walk is to give people increased awareness

about the mental health aspect, but also to give some people who may be depressed hope as well, correct. >> absolutely. >> tell me about the event that's taking place in washington tomorrow. >> tomorrow the walk will start at the sylvan theater on the national mall. as of last night we had over 700 people signed up, which is about twice the number of last year. i think we're getting awareness in the community. about 30 minute opening ceremony. we have four speakers to talk about mental health, suicide prevention and some of the issues that come along with this problem. then we'll walk about 3.5 miles around the mall through some of the newest monuments, including the martin luther king monument. at the end, a short closing ceremony, where folks can kind of remember the loved ones they've lost. it's going to be a good day. >> it is a way to honor those who -- that we may have lost. >> absolutely. i think there's a little bit of a healing aspect that comes from participation. it's a positive thing people can do to help others. >> we thank you both for coming in. thank you for sharing your

story and hopefully it will make it easier for others, including myself, to deal with these types of issues. we do want to mention the walk takes place rain or shine. i know the forecast isn't great for tomorrow. hopefully it will clear up a little bit. there's the information. you can also go to myfoxdc.com. we'll link you to the information and to the out of the darkness web site as well. thank you very much. we appreciate it. allison, back to you. tony, thank you. a big story last week, the animals on the loose in ohio. now the wife of the man who set them free before committing suicide himself wants the surviving animals back. details on that. holly is getting ready for halloween this morning. she's doing it all herself. holly, good morning. >> reporter: that's right. i just made fox 5 caution tape. listen, with halloween being on monday, you have all weekend to come up with fun things to decorate your home. that's what we're doing this morning with the help of our expert, robin beam. do it yourself halloween treats for your house, live later on fox 5 morning news.

emotional day in court as a former high school teacher in ohio is sentenced to four years in prison.

she was convicted of drinking, doing drugs with and having sex with five students, including several football players at her home in 2010. she was arrested after an anonymous tip led the school to investigator. parents of the victims say she stole their sons' innocence. >> she ruined these boys. she took advantage of their vulnerablities. she crossed the line and it is unacceptable. >> she pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity. her lawyers argued that she had medical and psychological issues, didn't remember the alleged incidents. the judge didn't buy that. she did not make any statements nor apologies in court yesterday. there is a custody fight this morning over those exotic animals that were on the loose in ohio last week. the governor of ohio ordered six to be quarantined, so they can't be transferred from the columbus zoo to the widow of the man who killed himself after freeing them. the zoo doesn't own the animals

and got notice the woman planned to pick up the animals yesterday afternoon. now to the trial of dr. conrad murray. his lawyer is trying to paint a picture of michael jackson as a drug addict. yesterday an expert testified that jackson was probably addicted to opiates. the defense tried to connect jackson's sleep issues with his alleged drug problem. the defense is expected to wrap up today, then both sides will begin closing arguments before the case goes to the jury. redskins are getting ready to hit the field again this weekend. but will it be -- it will be, rather, without chris cooley. dave ross is up next with details. he's not the only one not playing. bunch of them. big changes coming to our weather this weekend. tucker has crafted the forecast and is completely responsible for himself. i have nothing to do with it. he'll be here in just a moment to tell us what we can expect.

redskins head north to weekend, and we mean north. >> they're taking on the buffalo bills. but not in buffalo, in toronto. here's what i don't get about this. we want to expose the nfl to other countries. why? if people go into toronto, we love this. when is the next game, two years? >> you said there was a blizzard in toronto. >> i heard thunder snow. >> what do you think buffalo's record is in toronto?

played there three times. >> 2-1. >> 0-3. no home field advantage. it's why i give the redskins a good chance. will come down to john beck. this is a great opportunity, tony and allison, for beck to grab the bull by the horns in that locker room this week. he sounds like a starting quarterback. he looks like the starting quarterback. he's got to prove it to his teammates he is a starting quarterback. five career starts. 0-5as a starter. you have to get that monkey off your back. i think he's got a good opportunity to do it this sunday in toronto. the redskins have a lot of wounded. moss, got the cast on his left hand. he won't go. chris cooley is out for this week. good news on the next guy you're going to see. fletcher, he's going to start on sunday. gut it out with that hamstring. good news for the defense. hightower out for the year on

this acl injury. tough to watch. having london back i think is key for this team. >> yeah, i think so. >> he is such a leader. we talked about beck has to be a leader on the offense. fletcher is the leader of that defense. good sign for them. i think last week's performance defensively was an ab or ration. good chance for the redskins to win sunday. >> i hope you're right. obviously i'm a redskins fan. i don't feel good about this game because the injuries. >> tucker barnes agrees he feels there's something in the water. >> they're going to win. >> can we talk baseball? >> please do. >> how about the game last night? who stayed up with me? >> not us. >> we can't stay up. >> this is all you missed. a walkoff homerun by freese. if you could be anybody today in the world, i would want to be him. >> absolutely. >> he is from st. louis and hits a walkoff homerun to force a game seven, which of course you can see here on fox 5

tonight. incredible. >> can we expect a great game tonight? >> probably not. they normally -- you'll have drama. >> who will win? >> i think texas. >> really? >> i do. it's not like football or basketball where momentum plays a big part. starting pitching is really the key. i think texas will surprise people tonight. it's still one game. the emotions won't play as big a part as you think. >> when it comes to game seven, i like to see the home team win. >> i'd love to see that. but it never seems to play out, like another one run, dramatic game. i hope so. >> wish i could have seen it. >> 1:00. >> and get two hours of sleep like i did. >> i can't do it. can't function. >> i've had five cups of coffee. >> i'm sure you have. we'll be drinking a lot of coffee this weekend. >> and hot cocoa and cider. >> it's not a blizzard.

do not listen. >> don't encourage that, dave. >> don't confuse people. >> sorry. >> trying to keep this thing under control. temperature right now at reagan national, 43 degrees. 30s, gaithersburg at 39. north and west, 37 now in hagerstown. 38 martinsburg. some of the coldest temperatures we've had this year. setting the stage here. getting the cold air from the north and west. i think just enough will be around overnight hours and particularly tomorrow, parts of the area will see -- we were saying the end of october, first snow event of the year. winter storm watch. this is where the most likely occurrence is for accumulating snow. again, the thinking is elevations above 1500 feet will see the most. you could see several inches. frederick, into northern parts of maryland, down to the panhandle of west virginia, could be a couple of inches of snow and even towards the

immediate washington area, inside the northwest side of the beltway could see it mixed for a time, rain changes to snow tomorrow. i think we won't get below the freezing mark in the immediate washington area. that will hold down on possible accumulations. even if we see snow tomorrow. you get the idea here. here's the storm developing. becoming a coastal storm, a nor'easter. energy will dive down and enhance this storm. as it gets going, will be able to pull down the cold air i mentioned. why we're dealing with a chance of frozen precip for saturday and saturday night. futurecast showing you what will likely occur. again, not going to be a snow event in the washington area, at least on the onset will be rain. today no problems. partly sunny and highs in the low 50s. later tonight and tomorrow, 10:00 tomorrow morning.

notice the yellows and reds. will be a good soaking red across the 95 corridor. the west, the purple, the white, where the snow will be flying even early tomorrow morning. during the course of the afternoon, check out 5:00. the snow pushing a little further to the east. washington, not snowing yet in washington. off to the north and west, loudoun county, portions of northwest montgomery county county getting snow. i want to point out, southern maryland, along the bay, rain through this whole event. looks like it will briefly change over to snow even in washington, and lift out by midnight. sunshine sunday and for those people that have to dig out, a chance to dig out sunday, but highs only about 50. big threat here is of course much of the area, the leaves are still on the trees, and any snow that falls will threaten those limbs. could have problems with downed limbs and power lines during the afternoon saturday. partly sunny, chilly. 52 the daytime high. winds out of the north 5 to 10. winter storm watch, in effect later tonight. cloudy skies, overnight rain

developing in the city. chilly rain. 39 overnight low. highs tomorrow only topping out in the low to mid-40s. 45 in the city, about 20 degrees below average. could briefly change to snow here late tomorrow afternoon and tomorrow evening. clear it out. good news, halloween looks dry and a little bit on the chilly side with temperatures in the 50s. at least no snow for the trick- or-treaters monday evening. back to you. thank you. still ahead, i will answer this week's ask allison question. one mom is looking for advice on leaving her new baby at home while she goes back to work. going to share my experiences coming up next. very good. first we want to help you get into the spooky mood. here's more scariest movies. night of the living dead. number four, the bride of frankenstein. number three, halloween. number two, the gory texas chainsaw massacre.

♪ tell me something good ♪ don't you love it? i love that music. time to answer this week's ask allison question. she sent this in after we featured a facebook fan of the day going to work after maternity leave and i made the comment saying i know it's hard. she has a 4-month-old baby and works full-time away from home. they says the pain of being away from the baby is worse than labor. she asks, do you have tips or tips to cope with being a wororning, merril. thank you for finding the time to write this question. with a new baby still at home, i know it's hard, so thank you for taking time out. almost just say this, it's

never easy, but it just gets better as time goes by. working moms, don't we feel the guilt of leaving them at home? especially like that first week. it's terrible. i remember being super distracted when i had to leave sidney, my first baby. i couldn't wait to get home and love her up. that feeling is natural, i think. i think it's that mama thang that makes us all special. i will say as time went on, because i had three of them, by the time spencer came along, it was easier, because i knew eventually at the end. day i will see my baby again. i would again go on to have those two. ultimately at the beginning it's tough. but it gets better. mayo clinic have tips, including letting go of that guilt. just understanding that being a working mom doesn't make you a bad mom. next, stay connected to your care giver.

i can see that big old picture of sidney. because it helped me, made me feel better to see her face. be connected to your care giver. a daily text or call to find out how the baby is doing. another tip is to basically nurture your own well-being. after you put the baby down after a long day, try to do something for yourself, pick up a magazine, maybe drink a cup of tea or whatever. this will help you get back to who you are a little bit. slowly but surely, you will fall into the routine of whatever life was before you had that baby. this one again is for the moms who work outside of the home full-time, like me, like you, merrill. you're doing what is right to provide for you and your family. it works for you. that baby will be there when you get home and you can make up for the kisses. ultimately you will find your balance, but it is hard at first. i know it is.

poor sidney. suffocated and smothered with kisses. >> you went through this three times. >> i did. it was hard. i'd have to come back here, haven't lost the baby weight. to look at old tapes, cheeks out to here. ridiculous. tv makes you heavier. 10pounds. >> you're a mom. >> basically, it gets better over time. >> very good. >> hopefully for you. if you have a question you'd like me to answer, head to myfoxdc.com, click on the morning tab for a link. kiss that baby for us, too. >> they grow up and move away and the pain never ends. >> yeah. halloween is monday. if you don't have your house decorated or costume ready, don't worry. holly has you covered with do it yourself ideas. she is up next. and get ready for a little soul food. >> soul! >> seoul with an e, tony.
