at gun shows to get a federal dealer's license and go through background checks less than an inch of snow in chicago could cause big problems. this morning's commute was a mass after just a dusting. hundreds of crews went to work to keep the interstates clear and salted and while the snow is not following their temperatures are expected to stay below freezing and same system that's about to hit us tonight. yeah exactly it's a very fast mover very weak system especially one to get over the mountains it's going to lose a lot of the moisture it has with it but we've really seen the clouds on the increases we've gone through the afternoon now heading into the evening. it is so dry. if we were up in a helicopter lists eighteen thousand feet i would predict about an inch or more of snow tonight but because it is so dry the question is how much will make it down to the ground and it's really

the rate of evaporation and how much will moisten the atmosphere right now lot of the way he just saw it's not absolutely not reaching the ground. these are a few spots where it might be but even then i think it's going to take an hour two of those kinds of heavier returns to pull enough of that moisture moisten things up enough because look at the dew point it's eighteen degrees typically we get rain or snow the dew point and the temperature are very close to each other there so far apart at this point that a fifty four percent you're not going to get snow at that kind of a number meanwhile spot on forecast for tomorrow are saying thirty six of thirty seven excuse me degrees for today so far we've been thirty six. we said thirty three. so wait not official word whether or not we gotp to thirty seven are not so we'll see street. the three in a row tempers out there right now they are cold again most spots are above freezing a couple spots where it isn't

story same thing on the pencil at first glance it looks like everybody there is just above freezing few spots now just below freezing northern act of two areas may be parts of the middle peninsula but overall there's not a big range from north to south even north carolina here just a few degrees above freezing so going to drop back this evening. here comes that snow it's lit up on radar even as early as in our two from now but some of that will not be making the ground and once it does then the big question is do we get just a quarter inch or two we get up to attention a few spots we think will get a little bit of a dusting with one or two spots getting some may be heavier amounts to just be careful it could be some problems on the roads in theory later tonight tomorrow sunny day again not terribly warm pretty similar to today's temperatures and then as we get on into friday that's when things get mighty tricky you can see that again first batch of snow moving

tonight. flurries and or light snow in a few snow showers by morning twenty eight minus thirty seven mostly sunny remaining cold and then tomorrow night twenty eight clear early mostly cloudy late averaged out called partly cloudy here's the fun water no pun intended we're talking snow to a mix to rain and for much of the metro on friday for northern areas. it's just snow turning over to a mix and then friday night almost everywhere should just have rain made the little sleet mixed in at times when the conditions then saturday what's left over is going to be some light rain turning to some sleet turning to some snow. so again very different forecasts from north to south and we are expecting some accumulations again will be for tonight maybe a dusting and then the bigger storm this weekend will have a map we come out and just little aha think you are the owner

business is breathing a sigh of relief tonight what it took to get him back up and running and a terrifying carjacking caught on camera mother fights off a trio of the centers for medicare and medicaid services recently asked patients to rate the quality of over 3.500 hospitals. fewer than 6% received 5 stars. among them was cancer treatment centers of america in philadelphia.

peering down on the person or persons who nearly stole his way of living a definite not very smart these and if you watch me i hope you can hear me this stupid sanaa said he had faith all along that an honest person out there would find his gear he hopes someone will come forward and help him find the pieces that are still missing. regina mostly thirteen as well as a bad day for your heater to go out and that happened to a school in mathews county let you know if the issue is fixed and imagine living on

. but right now winter storm system is brewing leaving hampton roads bracing for snow and ice by one of the coldest days of the year he is to cancel classes for students at mathews high there's something in the water adventurous we were there as crews tested the taps. well you know it's cold outside when the found a town center in virginia beach is frozen solid. the big concern now is snow on the way for the week is over we're going to get hit with a one two punch of winter

jeff who is tracking the first way and the first wave tonight is a very minor blip if you look at the grand scheme of things unfortunately even if it only brings a half an inch of snow. if half an inch sticks on the road that can cause some real problems with the cold weather we've had lately. it's not going to be a situation like we had last week where it was really tough to get the stick to some roads some it did obviously but others and had a hard time because it had been so warm. look at all actually go back sch again the all white out there indicating snow but most of this is not reaching the ground the air is just so dry it almost all levels of the atmosphere so it is going to take awhile for the snow to come down melt evaporate and then eventually a moisten up the atmosphere enough that we get some down at the ground so there might be a few spots here with these darker colors we are seeing a

but i highly doubt it will take you through with future cast as you can see here comes the precipitation through the evening some pockets here and there of some slightly heavier precipitation snow that is not just precipitation so expect a lot of flurries some light snow and in a few spots even heavier snow shower that can give us up to an inch of precipitation an inch of snow i think most of us are going to tend to get much lesser amounts than that. here's some preliminary snow ranges just for friday. not for friday night not for saturday friday night and hardly anybody is going to see snow it's all going to be reading this is just for friday moving in mid day snow over to a max over to rain for southside with maybe up to an inch on the peninsula snow over to a mix and then late in the day probably over to a little bit of rain and then out of our viewing area just snow developing. they may even get some sleet mixing in ties but again these are

just during the day friday
