8 o'clock tonight until aboutilt 2 o'clock or 3 o'clock in theloe morning. temperatures are superures sup important and it is cold outits there and once it does startsta to snow this is going to t stick. ick. there will be some slick spotspo on untreated surfaces butfaces you've seen these road crews,re they have been scrambling theyit don't want an inch of snow tonot cause problems so they're t trying to get ahead of it and hopefully the timing will beg lb good that the road crews willt e be out there working overnightvn to keep you safe tomorrowro inrning. but it's already 30 in gaithersburg, 31 in dulles, 30s, at frederick and we're headed ha for the 20's once the snow t s gets started so a look allooal right evening planner so you have an idea of what you need yn get through for the next the n several hours.rs we'll probably see flurriesur around 7 o'clock with a temperature of 32.ou by 7te 9 o'clock it's snowing, and by 11 o'clock, ito'clock, continues snowing atco 30 dntegrees as we head for theo 20's overnight.rnht it's all about tomorrowll abo tr morning.rng. we've got gary mcgrady gary mcgd standing by.standi by. gary great to have you back onou the evening shift. >> thank you.

imagination but that one dayn by before the blizzard back in t januaryhe b where we got about t inch or snow -- sw >> it doesn't take much in this area to completely shutel u down everything. >> it's all abouryt timing. >> right. >> we've managed to get through most of the evening we'v commute. i think we're good for the evening commute, all right.k we >> perfect. >> western counties and we'll watch that.rn and then we go ct toou get all g this out of here by early, ear early tomorrow morning, okayng,y and i think we're going to beine able to do tha'rt ae s well. so, just so you know. kno in terms of, you know, kind ofin where we are, i think what's wts important here, too, iss temperatures. it's so cold. it's been really, eally coldy col today and it's going tooing continue to be cold, too. to be, we're still sitting at 35 here h now in town so not a problemro for us here. it's not even snowing yet.owg yt once the snow comes across icros think most of us will be at freezing if not below and youel can already see north and westn all these numbers up there are e below freezing.wre all right. so, one little wave has movedovd through. that's the little flurryittle fl activity, snow shower thatwer came by. i don't think it was enough tonh white the ground but i did getit some pictures

there's been a little bit one b the dirt, a little bit on theito grassy areas, a slight, a slight accumulation and most of thattia was north andnd m west. wes here we are now.e are now you can see another round isr ri coming in along 81 now.1 n it's kind of been getting to the mountains and falling apart.art. we have a lot of dry air at a a the lower levels of the the atmosphere. so, getting the snow aloftnoal down to the ground is going to g be a challenge for the nextor t couple of hours. but we still anticipate thereatt with this next round coming, c and there's still a lot morelo back out to the west. out te you see all this in southernther ohio, coming through west virginia, that's the main part of the wave. of so, that's a few hours away away and as the leading edge ofdg there starts getting hereere that's when we think thishinkhi light snow is going to kick up u and that's when we think we stand the best chance ofd thst a getting some of these accumulations.cu dusting to one here, d.c.,g tosurrounding areas.ing i think back out to the easthe e of us along the eastern shore, mainly a dusting to one.o southern sections i thinki t you'll just see some snow. s i think once you get down ton t southern maryland you're justd u talking about maybe a little abo bit of snow flying but not not anticipating any

and the deal with the blue up here northern areas, up to incheses. that could easing mean that m you just end up getting getti dusting and where some of o these bands set up if indeednd they do set up there could beld some isolated areas here along i-70, north of that where w maybe we get up to 2-inches ofsf snow. sn again i think that's isolated spots and primarily farther topm the north and to the northwest and even the higherand elevatis as you get out there by 81. by . so, that's pretty much what much we're thinking.nking. definitely 29 degrees tonightgrt so everybody below freezingow fz wino snow. and how about highs tomorrow.or we eventually will get up into n the upper 20's, low to mid 30's in terms of the the of thee temperatures and i think we'll l get some sunshine tomorrow,ine , too. most of the snow comes in by aboutthe 8 o'clock this evenini moves through 11 o'clock, 12 o'clock, you can see justeeut about everybody getting someery snow here and then iget gets ouu of here. of by about 3, 4 o'clock in the morning it's all gone which iswh great for the morning commute.o. because once this moves through, highway crews can can treat everything out therehere before the commute gets goingets and so hopefully tomorrow morning we're not gong

have a lot of problems. pbl be careful because there still i could be some slick spots and a then by tomorrow morning i think we have a little bit of h sunsavhinee and we're going tog end up with the drying processhd and get ready for storm numberue two, okay.ka and that looks like it's goingts to stay mostly to the east andaa southeast of us. sue is going to talk more mor about that coming up in thehe 6 o'clock hour.ock hour. here's your seven-dayreour se forecast. 37 tomorrow with some sun and clouds in the afternoon.row widi snow is stilln pthossie ble one saturday but again, right nowign it's not looking like it'sik i going to be a big deal for thefr district north and west.rict n very cold on sunday as this ts arctic air comes in and thenhe we stay chilly on monday, 35. 3 and by next week sometimeeek so middle part of the week, wek,e could go 52 degrees with rain. r not snow.t snow. so, jim, you're right, rht definitely not a blizzard butard we got to watch the commutesom around here. >> yup. ortant., very imp >> thank you, gary. >> you bet.. >> ♪♪ >> all right this now comingight out of chicago.ca prosecutors have filed hatefileh crime and kidnapping charges against four people in connection to a shocking crime broadcast to theains to

gus barry got fired.ot fed rex ryan, wade phillips. pll will one of those guys able to l get more out of this team and a i think the answer is probablye yes they wantpr to upgrade. to e >> and you mentioned thoughonedg there were a lot of problems pbl personnel-wise on thisrs defense. is that a case of noon matter me who comes in here it's going goi to be saddled with this --saddti with these problems.s. >> absolutely. now, good -- i think for thenk r next defensive coordinator isini the news that the bulk of this off cease is that is going toe s be spent addressing that side t of the foothtball. look at the draft. i think they'll invest thek thel vast minajveority of their picks on defense particularly the first couple rounds.ou i'll be stunned if the 17th 17t overall selection is not aion n defensive player.ye they'll also center in freealso agency. i expect the defensive line l and the secondary top twoop targets as far as playerr acquisition goes draft andion free agency. the new defensive coordinator cn will get better ingredients to cook with. w i think their thought is iug i know we didn't give you a lotot but we didn't make what we gave you better. >> you mentionedet ate couple bg nam
