there. it was a little bit cold but nothing we can't handle compared with what we're goingh to see tomorrow, sue palka.or >> you're right and sarah, s lauer remarks the one thingma about this time of year it's t really hard to get snow toet sno stick around awhile and we got up to 41 degrees today so aoday lot of what we're going to seent is going to melt and the factd f that this is coming in ahis isin little bit early now is not good for snow lovers becauseec we're still rather warm and aram lot of this is going to melt. to everything seems to beeverythi speeding up just a little bitjul and as a result of that and a r the storm track and some dry sod air we see getting pulled intolo this system i think we'rem i the going to be lowering totalsto b for many of you around theound e region.re but there could still bee coulie enough for some two-hourr delays but i would definitelyou do your homework kids.k kid here's what we're seeinge' tonight. a little bit of light snowitf already around the region.eg i'll put this in motion and this is going to continue toin fill in.ll in. also some rain initially in some spots.po and one thing we can do ising ad check our snow machine and youcn can see where the snow is more significant down towards saint mary's city, over towardsow front royal and out to westto virginia where we've had

areas. again, we expect prime time toie be a little bit later tonightert into the first part of thet of t overnight for us.t f let's go forward and look at everything in motion. when you look at this, whathat you don't see is a lot oflo organization and you also seeo e nice enhancement here in the mountains that then breaks up b as it comes across the monday tm tans so a little bit of a dry slot here as drier zaire getting pulled in and that will also cut down on some ofe o our totals for the western wes suburbs.burbs. so, if you missed it earlier itr we'll show you those totals in l just a moment but again, snow at times through the overnight n but this is going to be endingod very early friday morning. m there's another system that we'll be watching saturday night, a little bit of a atle clipper with some rain or snowno showers, no big deal here aslers well and a big spring warmupingw on the way.on t w wanted to show you tomorrowouomw morning, though, because ifg, tg you've got earlyh, morning mor travel plans or you're worried about the kids watch the timerat here, this is our futurecast and 4, 5, 6 o'clock most of it t is over. you might get a little ltl wraparound by 8 o'clock orck o 9 o'clock.9 o' this storm gets healthierealt

which is why we're throwinghy wt back a little bit of moisture mt into some of the communitiese t closer to the richmond area including westemoreland countyee where you now have a winterave a storm warning so you may getay three or 4-inches of snow outno of it but the rest of us an inch, maybe two and a lot of o it on grassy areas because theee pavement is still pretty warm.ar the big spring warmup is what w a lot of people want to heare wh about but we have to get through this snowstorm firstis o and from d.c. on west we'reeswe only going to call for a a coating to maybe 1 inch. 1nch. there will be some one to 2-inch amounts south maybe m toward lower southernouer maryland, farther to the north,o and west in the higher in thig elevations you get your batch yu tonight. down here where we have a twoere to three, you get this mostly m tomorrow once the system isw cet off the coast and it can grab g some moisture to throw backo t into that to give you a heavier snow bands relatively speaking. and again a lot of meltinga loti initially because it's still iss 39 degrees. sun is high even though we didn't have a tremendousareme amount of sun this afternoon, ao more sun this morning heated h up the pavement. roads shou

7 o'clock i expect a lot of ust will begin to see those light tl snow flurries. they'll be melting on contact ot with the pavement. they'll start to stick to yourtk car about 9 o'clock or so s 36 degrees an bit moreit m vigorous snow at 11 o'clock with a temperature of tture 34 degrees but we'll drop to wep 32 tonight and while ourhile suburbs may be a little bit litl colder to allow for some accumulation on grass andlation sidewalks and other colder spots we do still get up to 42 degrees tomorrow with thewit snow ending early and then and we're partly sunny and breezy for the afternoon. after this is the latest futurecast. c snow building after sunset asunt our storm system gets to theetso coast but you can see how kind w of raggedy it looks towards t our area. there's the batch that gives the heavier snow for the worm warning areas. after the weekend is over it's on to the warm stuff. let's check out the warm w stuff.uff. fox5 accuweather 7-day 7ay forecast, 51 on sunday. on don't be surprised to see a surt little mix late on saturday souy definitely still wintry aroundad here but then monday 60,y 6 tuesday up
