when you have the wind. >> bringing us more colder air. we've got wind chills to be concerned about and i want to tell you by the time we get to tomorrow night this cold air is going to be down right dangerous . we really want you to pay attention and really take care of yourselves because we know a lot of you will be going out tomorrow night. we had a few passes earlier tonight and we are seeing a clearing trend. an artic trend that is definitely helping us to keep us in the cold sector. cold gusty winds tonight and into the sunday. a flurry possible, we have a little upper level disturbance so i can't rule out that you won't see a flake or two. the atmosphere is way, way too dry for that. new year's eve dangerous cold, but it feels like a very cold 12 greece and we've got temperatures elsewhere int the

, 23 at baltimore. twenty-two at manassas and that's the same for dulles, 25 at culpeper, to the west a little cooler, 19 at hagerstown and martinsburg and 19 at cumberland. so those winds are gusty and they're going to remain that way as well for tonight into tomorrow and for tomorrow night. so right now 16 to up to 28-mile per hour wind gusts. you factor those in with those air temperatures and this is what it actually feels like if you're stepping outside. only four degrees at winchester for a wind chill factor, four at martinsburg, 12 at d.c., nine at gaithersburg, only six at westminster, nine at frederick and five at gaithersburg. what i want to say is that for tomorrow night i do anticipate this be pretty much the same pattern, but even quoalder in many of our neighborhoods and that's why we want you to take this seriously. satellite radar not much happening. nothing that is really going to stick. we do have the

is going to be reinforced for tomorrow, another blast coming through. today we had a little bit of sun here and there and so any of the snow that was out there, if it even melted anywhere, you would have to be aware that you would see some icy spots out there because the surface still very cold for tonight and that colder air staying in place. so some ice spots that you have to kind of pay attention to. here's a look at furnish future wind chills four. this is sunday at two in the morning. it will feel like three at dulles, three at zc, four at manassas. as we fast forward this a little bit. here we are at the 6:00 hour. a loft people going out for dinner. two at gaithersburg, zero at frederick and then here we are one a.m. on monday. take a look at what it feels like. this is the kind of pattern that we're speaking about in terms of the wind chill factors. there will be many areas where the numbers will be in the minus. make sure that you pay attention. you could easily get frostbite or hyperthermia if you're not care

minute minutes of exposed skin if you're not careful. windy with single digit wind chills as i mentioned and for new year's day the same story, the color air definitely in place. let's have a look at the fox5 seven day forecast. plenty t of sunshine across the board into the week. the cold air stick tsa around the entire week. the temperature a 15 to 20-degrees blow the seasonal average. we could see a system developing off the coast that could mean some snow. i'm not sure yet. back to you you. people who live in maryland are running out of time to install new smoke detectors before a new law takes effect on new year's day. smoke detectors that run off battery that have a ten-year lifespan. if officials find a home without the proper smoke detector required by the new law you could face a misdemeanor charge if you don't comply with the requirements. now to a fox5 followup on the grade fixing sc

county schools. in the last week we have uncovered new information that top school leaders knew more than a year ago that students were graduat ing without meeting requirements. fox5's lindsay watts broke this story last june and she continues to press for answers for the community. my children, our children, our teachers have been disgraced by what has happened in our school system at the most recent school board meeting parents were furious. when you go to the polls this november vote them all out. some calling for the school ceo and board chair to lee sign. prince george's county knew about mismanagement of student records. this after fox5 a uncovered hocking new information. i saw that fox news broke a story that there was an internal audit done by prince george's county officials in 2016. we've told you how a recent state audit found

are graduating without meeting requirements and mismanagement of student records. turns out the school system performed its own audit a year than a a half ago that found these same things . yet top management at the school system never mentioned it in the lead up to the state audit. instead they adamantly denied that there was any problem. back in june fox5 showed you teachers and staff who said they were pressured to change students' grades to make sure they graduated. the staff knows exactly what's happening. so it's widespread. it prompted four school board members to write to the governor saying there was a systemic effort to fraudulently boost the graduation rate, a signature achievement of school ceo dr. kevin maxwell and part of the reason his contract was renewed for furthermore years, a yearly compensation package of nearly half a million dollars. maxwell called the board members ' claims politically motivated to try t get rid of him. the false allegations about our

strike at everything that prince george's county schools stand for. the allegations that were made are reckless. when those accusations are made they're not about improving the system. those accusations are made about trying to disrupt and turn over leadership again in prince george's county. but in our most recent interview we con fronted maxwell about the school system's own audit and he admitted he did know in 016 some students were graduating without meeting requirements. when the board members came forward with these claims that some students were graduating who shouldn't, you called it all politically motivated, but you knew at the time that there was something to this. so why didn't you just come forward and present the internal audit findings at that point. >> so there's a difference between the what and the how. when we do audits and we do these to improve our practices and to get better april again we do a the look of audits. while the ren

nearly 30 percent of recent graduates in sample group either should not have graduated or did not have the records to show they should have it did not find there was system wide disruption to boost the graduation rate. when you're grade what thing students that don't immediate the requirements definitely is that the definition of knowing. he stands by his claims of top down yuption especially as new information comes out. if i re fuse to believe that these career long educators in these 24 schools all decided to graduate students that did not meet the requirements for graduation in the exact same time and exact same time, the anger from parents isn't going away. you knew the entire time when you were getting up here do ing your press re leases that you were misleading the public and you were lying. >> lindsay watts, fox5 local news. >> i'm so glad lindsay is taking on top of it so carefully. the kids dz education. in spite of their denial

and gets them to add mate finally they were wrong. millions all over expected to brave the cold and ring in the new year in some of the most yowded places. >> new security measures are in place around the country to keep revelers safe. back after the break. break.
