afternoon. here's the day planner on this friday morning. we've got good visibility. that storm system has pulled away. look for sunshine perhaps that early early flurry. 34 at 8:00. by noon, 36. it's going to be climbing into the upper 30s, 40 degrees for that high. so at 4:00, let me back down to 38 degrees and by 8:00, we'll be in the mid 30s and notice the wind speed really coming down into the 8, 6-mile an hour range this evening after gusing 20, 25 this morning. storm system pulling away. it did clip southeastern new england with a little bit of snow and clearly hit southern virginia just missing us. these are the snow showers and flurries i was talking about coming out of pennsylvania. and you can see a few of them that are trying to get even in toward areas of northeast d.c.. maybe sneaking into northwestern prince george's county coming out of montgomery through laurel and beltville at college park at this hour. just some stray flurries. temperatures are above freezing, low to mid-30s north and mid 30s la plata and 37

over in cambridge. monika samtani, it's nice and early. so traffic is going to be too much of an issue? no, it's not too much of an issue and it's friday morning. that combination is awesome if you're planning to head out early in the morning. no issues to report traveling northbound i-95 into springfield. 66 coming into fairfax right now. the beltway in-between through annandale. everything looks good. there's one accident though westbound on the suitland parkway near silver hill road. watch out for some police direction in that area. on the northbound side of i-395 here's north of duke street up to seminary road and the 14th street bridge. you're good to go. back to the maps this time out to the west side of town. 66 no issues in from manassas the toll road looks good from herndon and reston. this time all the way on the beltway other side at good luck road. prince george's county. i'll be back with more traffic in a few minutes. back to you guys. thanks monika. hundreds of thousands of people are finalizing their inaugural weekend plans. >> and all the celebrations

connected to monday's inauguration are starting to get underway now. after a lot of preparation. delia goncalves is live on capitol hill where the buzz is abuilding. good morning. >> reporter: good morning mike andrea. already seen a lot of activity here so far and i'm standing on some brand new sod so folks coming down to the mall will have a comfortable carpet-like sod to stand on. what about that? it will be cold but at least it will be fairly comfortable. listen the barricades will be built very soon. take a look at the police barricades. they're all stacked up, lined along the mall here. and a lot of the equipment already here. you see a number of pods and storage bins and the tents. and guess what? lines and lines of port-a- potties, yep they're here as well. everything is already in place. so crowds aren't expected to be quite as large as president obama's first inauguration. police and secret service have taken lessons from that day four years ago. and are promising a more

positive and visitor friendly experience when it kims to making -- comes to making it down here to the mall. while thousands already have their tickets tightened, many are still -- to attend, many are still searching and the black market is capitalizing as always selling tickets which ought to be free. >> craigslist and ebay, not to sell inaugural tickets for money. >> you would think that if booby prize we could get a few more tickets. >> reporter: now, that was d.c. delegate eleanor holmes norton who was dishing out her tickets passing them out to lottery winners. so she passed them out to some lucky d.c. residents. each representative received 200 tickets, senators received 400 tickets, if you got your hands on a golden ticket and heading down here to the mall. i'll tell you what you need to know in regards to security coming up at 5:30. back to you mike? >> all right. thank you. she's live on the hill. a d.c. police officer is expected to spend the rest of

his life behind bars. thursday a prince george's county jury convicted richmond phillips of murdering his girlfriend and their young daughter in may 2011. phillips met 20-year-old wynetta wright hours before the case against him was headed to court and killed her. then he left their 1-year-old daughter jaylin strapped in her car seat where she died in the sweltering heat. the sentencing is scheduled for march. police are looking for two bold robbers this morning. apparently they walked into a restaurant and sprayed customers with fire extinguishers at ole mason restaurant in gaithersburg last night. all the customers were eating. then they grabbed the cash register and took off. montgomery county police say a similar attack happened last weekend but in that case they arrested four underage suspects. time for the latest your money report of the morning. >> good day yesterday and potentially looking like a terrific friday could be on tap for wall street.

here's why. s&p 500 this morning stands at a new five year high. and we could see good earnings today from the licks of ge and morgan stanley. also tech stocks could get a boost today from install. they reported earnings which are better than expected and sales hit some forecasts. now looking at the markets right there -- here's part of the reason the markets are riding so high lately. investors have been going all in when it comes to stocks. they poured $8 billion into stock funds in just the first nine days of the new year. that's a record amount and it comes after yanking more than $150 billion from mutual funds last year. investors are also plowing a huge sum into international stocks so far this year. toyota says it's settled what was to be the first of hundreds of wrongful death

lawsuits involving problems with sudden unintended acceleration by its vehicles. last month toyota agreed to a settlement worth more than $1 billion to resolve hundreds of lawsuits claiming economic losses but hundreds more lawsuits over wrongful deaths still remain these problems are far from over for toyota. >> it's amazing how they can still sell so many cars and have headache on the other side at the same time. >> the $1 billion number just for economic losses. not even dealing with wrongful death is just eye-popping. >> wow. thanks jess. >> what do you have for us next? we're changing gears, we're taking ten years off your face. no botox required mike. i know this is a relief to you. >> he doesn't like needles poor thing. all right jess we'll be waiting for that. if you plan stuff for spring, you noticed a different look to wusa9 this morning. >> yeah take a look at the bottom right there. and color coded. the goal is to make things simpler and reduce all the screen clutterment green is for

money. you just saw jessica's. they all have a color. they're very much like "usa today." you know how that's color coded? we share the same parent company. gannett. >> we're in the business of telling you the news and coming up on wusa9, highlights from the first half of lance armstrong's interview with oprah winfrey. >> and yes, virginia, there really was snow yesterday. and a lot of it in

welcome back. 5:09. howard here with the weather first and you will need to bundle up today. storm system pulling away and an early flurry or snow shower north of town but overall a sunny day. yes the sun will finally make an appearance this week. the day planner for you here on this friday morning or the forecast. highs will eventually return after dropping back into the mid 30s north and west to 41 in the warm spots and i'm forecasting 39 here in the district with mostly sunny skies but the winds this morning especially could gust to 25 miles an hour. they'll relax some this afternoon. i'll be back in about five

minutes and talking your weekend and some arctic air in that seven day. right now over to monika with a look at timesaver traffic. no issues to report if you're traveling around town right now. this is what it looks like up north on 695 at i-83. and closer in we're looking good on the beltway. coming in on 95 toward college park and over into silver spring. i'll have more on traffic coming up in a few minutes. back to you mike. thanks monika. at 5:10 here's a look at what's new this morning. this morning authorities near chicago will exhume the body of a recent lottery winner. he died in july just as he was about to collect $425,000. at first, the death was ruled natural causes but later, toxicology reports showed that he had a lethal dose of cyanide in his system. he couldn't have won without doping. lance armstrong confessed to oprah winfrey that he did use drugs during all seven of the tour de france victories. armstrong said for years he

told and retold one big lie about not using drugs. he apologized to his fans and the live strong cancer foundation. unless you live pretty well south of the district there's probably no snow in your yard this morning. but well over 100,000 people in virginia like roanoke area route 81, down bristol that way have lost power because of the storm that missed us, and hit them. they're also problems on the roads since the rain washed aid way some of the sand and -- away some of the sand and salt mixture and it stuck. we may have missed out on the snow but not missing out on all the cold weather. >> howard joins us after the break with the literal lowdown on the

good morning, welcome back to wusa9. it is 5:14. it is friday. and the sun will shine today. we'll need a little bit 06 warmth from the sun. >> tomorrow is really going to be the sweet day of the weekend. if you want to make a tee time tomorrow -- >> you know? >> there you go. >> tomorrow maybe you're celebrating a birthday tomorrow. want the take yourself golfing mr. hydeck. and then really cold air coming in next week. if you have been waiting to wear the heavy, heavy coats and twinsets or whatever pleases you to keep you warm. get it ready. it's going to be needed next week. here's a look at your day planner on this friday morning. friday morning. we've got temperatures this

morning in the 30s for the most part. we'll dip a few more degrees 34 by 8:00. northwest winds at 14 gusting 20, 25 early. we'll relax them this afternoon. by 4:00, 38. that will be close to the high for the day. and couple of you going to get 40, 41 and we're back in the mid 30s by 8:00 p.m. headed into the 20s tonight with lighter winds. that storm system which to the south if you looked at the radar yesterday there were radar echoes over us but the air was so dry at the surface it just sucked all moisture right out of the air. that storm clipping southeastern new england. but in the winds behind the system, some snow showers have been coming out of areas in pennsylvania. look at this. across our region through frederick, carol counties a couple of them on the northeast side of the metro area right now through montgomery county, just clipping into prince george's county as well. so you got a couple of flurries don't get too excited about it and it's not going to last very long. cold air, mid 20s in many areas of ohio and pennsylvania filtering in today. we're still holding on to the

mid- and upper 30s locally with manassas at 34 and round hill at 36 this morning. along with waldorf and crofton laurel also 36. and as we look outside on our michael & son weather camera, it's a nice looking morning. we've got 38 degrees although with the winds out of the west northwest at 12 it feels like 30 out there. so you're going to need to bundle up some with those windchills. a little bit of a factor today but it's going to be next woke when things really get cold. now across the country big ridge out of the west. here's the cold air from the midwest and you see how the clouds are moving toward the southeast? very cold air up here and the snow showers are coming out of minnesota into wisconsin. although around here we're just saying good-bye to the storm. the cold air is to the north. get a little bit of id today and pushing back north over the weekend and next week the cold is going to come down big time. we really don't have too many weather concerns for the short- term. there's your forecast. blustery today. especially this morning. partly to mostly sunny skies

and high of 39. tonight 29 in town with low 20s north and west. good looking weekend up to 50 tomorrow. it's going to be the nicest day we're going to see in a while i tell you that. warmer with temperatures by tomorrow night still holding low to mid-30s. sunday a little bit cooler. still call it seasonable. sunshine 46. next week for inauguration day. only 35. it's going to be cold. but nothing compared to the arctic air that's going to be around for tuesday and wednesday with highs in the 20s. lows in the teens and maybe some single digits and back to 42 next thursday. all right, here comes monika samtani still smiling this friday morning. that's good news for the commute. you should be too. if you're one of the commuters that heads out early on a friday morning, a good time to go. no problems to report on the dulles toll road or 66. heading for the beltway the gw parkway as well. inside the beltway everything looks good. no issues to report. we'll take a live look first of all if you're planning to head southbound on 270 here on the spur near democracy boulevard no issues as with you travel down -- you travel down from frederick all the way to the

beltway and into the tysons corner area crossing the american legion bridge. back to the maps this time the northbound side of 95. triangle woodbridge springfield everything looks good. southbound 95 near dumfries a disabled vehicle in the roadway was just moved over. one last live look this time in springfield. northbound 95 lanes are open here leaving route 644. back with more traffic coming up. back to you. all right, thanks monika. the capitals are back. they held their abbreviated version of fan appreciation last night. >> and tom brady should expect no mercy from ray lewis this weekend despite little show of respect. >> tom brady is not going to get it either. all right let's look at the question of the morning one more time on our facebook fan page -- >> this response came from teresa morrison, she says --

beyond wrinkles. >> with age we lose some of the plumpness in our lips and then of course with the brows with the tweezing and the plucking. you want to fill them in and of course undereye area we can't run from it. it's -- it happens. >> so sharon got down to work on donna addressing those areas. first apply concealer under the eyes using your ring finger. >> this is the finger that has the least amount of pressure in it. we don't want to damage any more skin around the eye area because we want to always look as beautiful as possible. >> put on your foundation and blend, blend and then blend some more. then, on to eyebrows. >> for me one of the things is filling in the brows because of course they frame your face. >> and don't forget that lip liner. >> i'll line the lips and then i'll go in and shade it in a little bit. when you shade it in a little bit you get your longevity out of it. you want your lips to last forever. >> just for fun some lashes and mascara of course.

hello, welcome back to 9news now. wusa9 rather. 5:45. got to get used tot new language. it's friday, the sun is going to sunshine and you will have to bundle up. >> because of the winds. on facebook she writes me and said she's in cumberland. it's so windy out there they had to put the weights on the yorkies before they let them out. i'm going to use it for that and thanks for contacting me on facebook or twitter. all right weather-wise we have some colder air drying to move in for today. a little break over the weekend and then get ready. next week i'm telling you now arctic air for tuesday and wednesday. haven't said in a long time.

the day planner this friday. we've got breezy conditions this morning where temperatures are really on the chilly side. there we go. quite a computer still a little sleepy too this friday morning. readings are going to be slow to climb because the colder air is coming in. in spite of seeing the sun by lunchtime we cover back into the -- recover back into the mid 30s. 40, 41 in the warmer area and the winds will morning will be gusting 20, 25, 30 miles an hour with sustained winds at 16. but by this afternoon is this this evening look how the numbers drop. 8, 4 miles an hour and lighter winds tonight and generally is sunny day ahead. we are looking forward to that as we say good-bye to the storm that stayed south of us. thought it was going to be a southern runner yesterday. we might get a little bit here in the district. the air was so dry that the moisture evaporated before it ever got down to the surface for most of us. a little bit of sleet here and there. even down in cattily that's down in fauquier county charlie had a little bit of rain and sleet. that was it.
