and it will be those areas to the north for montgomery for frederick county and loudoun county where we'll see possible delays because of the secondary roads really slushy with the re-freeze. meanwhile, around here in front of nbc 4, we have puddles for sure on the blacktop. that could freeze but i don't think we'll see major problems tomorrow morning, as doug said. we have another system to think about for the first half of the weekend, friday into saturday morning. >> that's right. not just the one on friday and saturday but also one into sunday and monday. so we have two storms back to back. we'll continue to keep you posted on those, the latest coming up in the next 15 to 20 minutes. >>> good evening, everyone. i'm jason pough here at the verizon center. we're getting set for a huge game tonight. prince george's native kevin durant making another return home. the thunder of oklahoma city will take on the wizards tip-off at 8:00. this game is absolutely huge. want to give you a sense of just how big it is.

but we do have that winter weather advisory in effect, and it includes frederick county, loudoun county and really east of the mountains here. and the reason it's east of the mountains is because this is where we still have moisture in place at the surface. what that means is we could see freezing fog and even some freezing drizzle out of that. and as that storm system moves in we may even see a little bit more light snow. that's the concern on the roadways between now and midnight. and the big concern is all about the temperatures once again. those numbers already below freezing 31 in bowie, 34 in dulles reporting some pretty good fog toward dulles less than two mile visibility. it will continue to thicken in parts of the region. 33 in reston and 32 in rockville. at that freezing mark we can start to see the bridges and overpasses freeze up. so heads-up there. one of the other areas of concern tonight portions west virginia around martinsburg, 27 overnight, 27 in frederick, 27 in columbia. this is the area that saw the most snow from this storm, and i really think there will be some pr
