>> what a scene we woke up to had this morning. i know we were reporting tractor-trailer night before but i didn't quite expect it to be a shock when we opened the door and all these accidents we had. >> i know that was really bad. >> right around noon it started to warm up. >> it was shifting. >> and started to develop. >> and and exactly. some of our neighborhoods well north had lingered longer. but definitely it was dangerous out there today. things greatly improved. we're happy about that. sunshine today and rise in temperatures which was a good thing. so now we're trying to go in

e we're actually not going to be talking about winter precipitation but we will talk about rain. take a look at this. radar you can see right here there's a lot still going on mid section of country and plenty of cold air on backside behind a frontal system and they're getting slammed into parts of illinois and up to the great lakes and then we have all the rainfall here and everything else is moved off northeast where i know they had you know at least 3 to 4" of snowfall in some areas of new england. things are calmer now. we is clouds and we're expecting rain into the overnight hours as a result of at approach of frontal system. egg speaking of what's going on elsewhere look at all the watches, warnings and advisories. however, on our door step not too much to speak about exception being far area here to west where this there is actually wind advisory in effect and that until into on sunday. so here's what's happening in terms of ice totals and anywhere from quarter of inch tore less in many neigor

and regardless the small littlest bit made it dangerous here as we've seen with reports of accidents. temperatures now. we have 43 d.c. and 6 gaithersburg and 33 baltimore this hour and we have 53 culpeper that's quite a variance isn't it? 32 winchester and 33 martinsburg and that's an indication of what happens to us in the next 24 hours air rment warmer air is moving into the south already. we will see the warmer air impact our forecast tomorrow. in the meantime for tonight benefiting from it a bit with overnight lows into 40s and see more of cooler air morm and norm west. and we're looking at fog developing participatey in nature overnight tonight into early sunday morning also. so this is next weather maker right here. this is cold front. the warm front moved to the knowledge of us today allowing warmer air to come in and mixed precipitation to head off

along and ahead of the frontal system we'll see rain that starts overnight tonight into your sunday. and however, on the backside of that frontal system is our reality check as i called it of the season. ahead of it we get the warmer air and behind it the colder air is going to return. and that's going to happen on monday. but on sunday the later part of evening hours we'll start to see front getting closer and adds it does we will gradually see a temperature drop. by tomorrow night cold all over and monday is the day. and seeing rain tomorrow. not a total washout all day. future cast so though you 1:00 in the morning sunday moves in west and progresses way to 6:00 hour and then we advance to 9:00 hour and you can see we have pretty good heavy bands by midday and even heavier by:00 hour and we -- once we get past that to 4, 5:00 hour moves way off southeast and by the time we get to early evening we have clouds

eastern areas. and but you know it will be off and on in some part of the day. not a total washout. highs tomorrow look at this upper 50s and 60s unbelievable this time of year and plan are by midday 5 with rain. it will be windy as well. gusty winds pushing in from the south. wrapping it up for you 48 for tonight and looking at rain pushing in overnight hours and for tomorrow a mild 60 degrees. my goodness christmas is in another week or two isn't it? how did that happen? >> reality show when it dips to 30s and rest of week hanging in 40s or so. we got another storm system on thursday to keep an eye on, also. >> that's kind of all over the place. >> what you're saying is no white christmas. >> typical weather buff fay matt. >> lose to choose from. >> i want to put you on the spot here. >> i said storm system thursday we don't know what it
