move our way jeff is tracking the storm system and jeff we can see some light snow as soon as tonight. alrighty seeing it on radar you can see the leading edge already up almost to the eastern shore have been emphasizing talked about over the past few days alot of it not reaching the ground the air is so so dry that it's evaporating. technically it's called sub mating before all the way he gets down here let me show you something those see that circle around the radar site. i have a feeling there may even be a little bit there it's just that the radar isn't looking straight overhead. so let's add raleigh nc and raleigh is picking up little debt and add in sterling a little more so there's a little bit of light precipitation even in this sorta hole in the radar right here near the site so leading edge again moving and but hardly any of this is reaching the ground as we take a look you can see it's moving in from the west but it can take wallace what we call saturate the atmosphere so for this evening flurries or light snow developing in

some snow showers talked earlier about a dusting in a number of spots in a few locations i wouldn't even rule out up to an inch at all it takes to make roads slippery tweaking i get the stick on the road so be very aware of that late tonight and even into early tomorrow we'll just have to see how much is out there on the roads in the morning but it has the potential lease to be a small fan coating that can cause a few issues temperatures then tomorrow stay cold about like today a couple of degrees mile or more like the upper thirties but we're still going to look in a decent amount of sunshine a little bit of a breeze so certainly won't be a great day but look what happens during the day on friday on track with what we've been calling for we see snow or a mix moving in maybe late morning probably around mid day is the current thinking and and the warm air starts to move in as the wind really picks up and howls at the east by late in the day that would cause some

the southside for the evening commute but definitely some possible problems with the accumulating snow showed you right now are very very preliminary estimate is one to three inches just from the friday part of the storm on the peninsula before that then changes over to some heavy heavy rain friday night here's that first batch though again moving through this evening so flurries and or lights no pockets moving through it maybe if you have your snow showers twenty eight minus thirty seven mostly sunny remaining cold winds gusting to about twenty and then a forty four degree high on friday but most of the time when this precipitation gets here we'll be in the thirties near freezing for the mid thirties so snow eventually to a mix of eventually late today over to rain watch for problems will have a lot more coming up on that and then heavy rain strong winds friday night. strong winds on saturday as well as the cold air comes sweeping back in and changed it over

more accumulations possible sadder day than on how much of that again cold air moves and so a lot more coming up of the next few days i caught on camera some terrifying moments is a woman fights off armed carjacking is in florida that woman was getting gas in miami when masked man approached her car and tried to get inside the woman fought back. she close the door on one man been yanked him out of the car her kids were in the backseat and she was afraid the car directors would drive off with them after the fight. the suspects ran off but police later caught a bad new year for the stock market gets worse up next details on the huge drop on wall street what's causing the trouble. then i think i'm going rounds is bracing for snow tonight the peninsula hitting the streets preventing them from freezing tonight the details ahead. fox called leather fire danger of families are homeless tonight

not seen in more than ten use me. we're seeing some historically will gas prices including gas for less than a dollar a gallon in michigan earlier this week. great news for consumers but not for energy companies in this woman who lost her job and will compete this month i can't say i was overly shocked only because of the climate. it's been this way for months and if prices continue to drop the biggest fear in the markets right now is that energy companies will start to default on their debt if they start defaulting on their debt it could be something similar to our financial crisis the great recession. another big concern volatility markets overseas especially china asian giants both for the year with less than seven percent the worst in twenty five years. if you have money in stocks. your best bet is to ride it out as oppose to take it out of the market because the people who take their money out of the market

for sure but we do know that we're going to expect some snow showers or flurries this evening clearing later tonight friday saturday that storm is going to produce a mass with accumulating snow changing to a mix changing to rain when high tides some flooding likely and then again as the storm moves out a likelihood that we could see a changeover back to some accumulating snow a lot more on that not only coming up a few minutes but over the next couple of days with team coverage as that snow moves in tonight both city and state officials are preparing for snow and ice out there on the road. now that includes data on recent thirteen news now reporter erin came to the peninsula to find out about half are sick keep those roads clear what kind of supplies or crews using tonight. well david is a salt water mix called bryant's for cross the road to keep it from freezing over night public works trees here in
