whole lot. the only advisories and watches we have are far southwest of town, into greene county. we had a watch earlier into culpeper, orange county. all those have been cancelled. here's the reason why. the storm track is tracking farther south of d.c., pretty much missing us in a way. we may see a little bit of snow. the coastal storm is coming through on sunday, but it is trending back south. it's turning out to be a minor snow event as of now. we could still get light, wet snow, maybe up to an inch around d.c. better chances will be south of town. the bull's-eye will be around raonoke, virginia. a little change here could mean a big difference when it comes to having a little or a lot of snow. we'll talk more about the snow and a milder trend coming up. back to you, bruce. >> anny, thanks a lot. breaking news. for two weeks we reported on the problems of teenage drinking in the area.

date. the 17-year-old who purchased here tonight was with two friends, all of whom are high school students from arlington. that 17-year-old buyer was also handcuffed and taken into custody. he was to be released to his parents later tonight. bruce, as you know, we have been investigating this liquor store since december, as it has allegedly been selling to minors for years. now, montgomery county police have also been watching this store and in recent weeks, have issued 38 citations to minors who bought alcohol here and cross the into the county. finally, abra will now investigate this case and confer with montgomery county authorities. it will then go to the abc board in d.c. to determine what will happen to this store. once again, to recap, the owner of town square market in northwest washington is under arrest tonight, charged with selling alcohol to a minor.

reporting live from northwest washington, andrea mccarren, 9 news now. back to you, bruce. >> andrea, if you know the answer to this, what prompted them to move tonight? i know yesterday you were talking to the deputy mayor, but also it was a week or two ago we went to one of abra's meetings. we talked to them. they said they tried to put somebody in to buy liquor. it seemed like that was the end of it. has something happened within the past 24 hours since you talked to the deputy mayor? >> reporter: i think the deputy mayor promised a thorough investigation. they called us. went in for a variety of attempted buys tonight. police and abra were on the scene simply observing a short time ago, observed a carload of three young men, also 17 and 18- year-old high school students from arlington. there's a telephone pole behind me. officers observed from that point, could see the counter of town square market. they watched the young man go in, buy alcohol, and come out. they stopped him out here in

the parking lot. asked him for identification. he was carrying identification, but it was a photograph and an i.d. belonging to someone else. as you know, there's been a lot of police work done by montgomery county authorities. they've been watching and issuing citations to minors buying alcohol at this store, crossinged border into montgomery county. 38 citations, as recently as last weekend. of course, we have been investigating this store since early december. >> okay, to be continued. andrea mcc people! look at you!

firefighters that was somehow out in the middle of the lake. >> he was giving it his all to stay up. >> as you can see, they were breaking through the ice as they went out there. it's basically, they had to crawl and swim out there to get to the dog. >> the dog was struggling. he was getting close to going underneath the water. he was barely holding his head up above water. once i got out there, got the dog, i gave them the sign and they pulled me back in as quickly as they could. >> the dog is being treated for hypothermia tonight. in a separate incident, two teenagers were rescued from a frozen lake. >> hanging on to the ice shelf was probably about two inches, two and a half inches thick where they were, and shivering, cold. hypothermia was setting in. another few minutes and who knows? >> the firefighter was able to reach the boys and bring them safely to shore. tonight, the two teenagers are said to be doing okay.

stay off the ice. no snow, no ice headed this way. just rain? >> i think we'll see a little bit, bruce. but you know, this is a very tight gradient when it comes to this coastal storm we've been watching. any little change, 50 miles here or there means we can be totally missing the snow. we still have some chance to see light snow showers developing tomorrow night, tomorrow evening. better chances will be south of town. we'll break it all down for you. we have cloudy skies out there. temperatures, it's pretty mild still. 46 degrees at this hour. under cloudy conditions. winds are out of the north at 14 miles per hour. it is a little breezy out there. winter weather advisory, well out to thesouthwest of us. that includes greene county,al , albomorl. culpeper winter storm watch has been cancelled by the national weather service because the

storm expected to track further south. temperatures right now, mid-40s in downtown. 41 in gaithersburg. culpeper 46. the cold front that's been coming through, so temperatures will be dropping throughout the day tomorrow afternoon. this is the coastal storm we've been watching. we'll basically be on the northern edge of this system. we'll see cloudy conditions tomorrow. temperatures will be on the chilly side. storm tracking south, which means we'll see maybe light snow showers ha possibility. better chances will be south of town. i would say keep your sunday plans. we will continue to monitor the track closely. go to our website, wusa9.com, for any updates. here's a look at the futurecast. cloudy conditions, tomorrow morning, 11:00 a.m., cloudy skies. no snow showers to worry about. in the afternoon, maybe see some rain. evening, a little rain aroundd.c., maybe snow, a little mix as well in southern maryland. at best maybe up to an inch. little to no accumulations

because the road surface is still well above freezing. so anything that does fall will melt. mostly cloudy and breezy. chilly. one to two blanket night for tomorrow morning. mostly cloudy. bring out your winter coats. temperatures will be falling into and staying in the 30s. light snow possible south of town. your sunday breaks down like this. a cold start. some showers and also some snow showers possible. better chance will be late afternoon in the evening hours. here's your next seven days. president's day looking good. lots of sunshine. temperatures in the lower 50s. so a few degrees above the average high. then we'll be milder weather coming this way for tuesday and wednesday, upper 50s. 60 by thursday with some rain possible thursday and friday. so go to our website, wusa9.com. i will be updating that throughout the night and tomorrow. >> okay, anny, thanks a lot. georgetown? >> i like the way they're playing. you were talking about the young guys, porter,

whittington, starks playing guard. they've got a good basketball team. how about the caps, too? for all the momentum they gained last night, they take a step back tonight. game two of the four game. a familiar theme, not enough offense. georgetown not saved by dunkin' donuts. maryland on the road searching for a signature win. well, they're still searching. and why is the wizards john wall pooh-poohing his place among the nba's

>> all right, let me tell you what i really know.

how sweet it was. caps went into florida last night and jump started the road trip with a 2-1 win. in the process they shaved two points off the deficit separating them from the panthers. the loser may not make the playoffs. panthers off tonight. mike green and the caps, first game since january 7th. not much he could do here. thomas lakoon, i got it. no he doesn't. 1-0 tampa. second period, caps get messy. third consecutive season with 30 goals. still in the second. it takes two to make a thing go right. like cashing in, but not enough. tampa bay holds o. afterwards, all eyes on greene. >> after i got going in the first period, going into the second period, i felt better. i can have a day off tomorrow and rest and recover from monday. so that's the plan and we'll stick to it. >> good to have him back.

nationals now, it's here. pitchers and catchers reporting tomorrow. it's the beginning of spring training. this is maybe the most positive buzz around the national since baseball returned to d.c. position players reporting next week. we'll have a full break down of the nats tomorrow on sports plus. 22 days until selection subpoenaed. if things keep going at this rate, georgetown might be looking at a three seed. who saw that coming? hoyas ranked number nine in the country. you can see the confidence growing after knocking off number two syracuse ten days ago. georgetown playing well. he said i just focus on the game at hand. jason is like a basketball ninja. here's the scoring. let me show you what else he can do. later on the steal, then dropping off the baked goods. georgetown up by 13. hollis thompson, you know a georgetown's highlights got to have him in it. georgetown wins 63-53. believe me, it wasn't really

that close. all right, maryland wishes they had the kind of balance and defensive grit that georgetown has. all too often this season, dear terrell has been a lead singer with no backup support. you've got to have backup to carry the song sometimes. right, bruise? if not, that lead singer will get really, really tired eventually. that's what happened to stoke land. he's also scoring, but nobody else helping him out. nick starting to pick up the pace to the ten right there. he's averaging 14 points in his last three games. he had 14 today. terrell, we know about him. he had 14 points all in the first half. none in the second. mike scott, big fellow from virginia, number three score in the acc. he had 25 and 7. virginia gets its 20th win. maryland its 11th loss. virginia wins 71-44. paul hewitt and george mason in a three-way tie for first place in the caa. leading by as many as 17, but then here comes lamar's mike

jones. who? mike jones with the steal and the dunk. cardinals within two. but andre cornelius on senior day doing what seniors do, bailing out george mason. they win the bracket buster 75- 71. good one at smith center today. c. w. down but making a run on st. joseph. tony tamer, tony the tiger to the cup. g. w. within four points. carl jones making the jumper to put the game out of reach. hawks holding on 73-66. getting the seven-point win. blackout in blacksburg, virginia. georgia tech, over time. littlest man on the floor, playing big. making it 73-71. that's just enough time for virginia tech's lorenzo humidity son. there goes my hero at the buzzer. tech wins 74-73. nba all-star weekend begins next friday. it's the rookie sophomore challenge on friday. this year a little twist,

instead of all the rookies on all time and second year players on the other, they mixed the teams up this year. a little change. john wall is in the game and tonight, charles barkley and insurance shaq who will coach the teams picked their players. wall wasn't selected until 12th overall. wall said that's a joke to me. they think there are 11 guys better than me. that's their decision. wall will play on barkley's squad. it will be played on friday coming up this week. finally, a little laughter to get you out of here, phil mickelson, one of your leaders at the northern trust. not on this hole. the ball goes way left. where does it go? into a guy's shorts. anny, you're a golfer. you know you've got to play it where it lies. phil gives him a glove and says get that ball out of his shorts. i've got to play. he's your co-leader there. >> john wall is correct. he's a much better player than charles barkley said.

tomorrow, cloudy conditions. breezy, cold. minor snowstorms. >> all right, thanks a lot, everybody. we'll see you back here tomorrow night. bye. whitney houston's funeral, plus exclusive eyewitness details about the moment she died. >> the latest as the world says its final good-byes this weekend. i'm brooke anderson. >> i'm kevin frazier. >> the weekend's "insider" is on. ♪ ♪ can you send in angel's whitney's gold hearse. her silver casket covered with flowers. oprah at whitney houston's funeral. >> her mother and i had a lot in common. >> kevin costner addressing her daughter. plus alicia
