it's inching east of the blue ridge, so rain is a big part of our forecast for late tonight.ss the upper midwest, yes, indeed, it's snowing. this is duluth, minnesota, right here. this is duluth, minnesota, right here in video format. winter has arrived across the upper midwest. and they've had anywhere from 3 to 6 inches of snow today in duluth and they could get a couple more inches tonight. if you have friends or flights going into the upper midwest, minneapolis/st. paul has canceled quite a few in the way of flights. that's an iconic bridge in the port of duluth. back here at home, there's the rain drops that are coming our way. there's a warm front just down to our south. it will ride up through here during the overnight tonight. so temperatures will climb after about 2:00, 3:00 in the morning. we should be in the low to mid-50s first thing tomorrow morning and then zoom into the 60s for a brief time tomorrow. then is chance for some steadiyer heavier showers late tomorrow afternoon into tomorrow evening as the front goes on by. behind it high pressure, a cooler and drie

some more showers scattered out and about i-81 in the blue ridge and shenandoah valley. we're going to keep a close eye. not going to add up to too much. couple of hundredths inch of rain. could rule out a touch of some freezing rain or a sleep pellet or two, but not looking for any problems to impact any of the major roadways around town. your friday planner, spotty showers around town. most of the light rain chances stacked up in the morning hours. cloudy and chilly for much of the friday temperatures, generally speaking, in the 50s. bus stop weather, jackets required. maybe a little umbrella or too with patchy light fog. temperatures 36 to 41. talk about your weekend coming up. >>> right now for first 4 traffic, i'm danella sealock. let's check out the road work. traveling 395 northbound at duke street, going to see the left lane blocked. it's friday. volume is still very, very light. stick to the left to get by. clear both directions at that point to 14th street bridge. let's head over to key bridge. we've seen that work zone before. it's an odd place right at "m" st

we have seen a number of groups come out strongly for or against this bill groups including the blue ridge forum the republican national policy committee the tea party w.d.c. and the american enterprise institute signed a letter sent to congress stating that it is especially ironic that congress is contemplating raising tax rates for those making above two hundred fifty thousand dollars and tad further encourages the wealthy to sit on their money rather than invest in new job creating businesses and some claim that tag is the poster child for too big to fail bank subsidies and that the guarantee basically gives them. subsidy but if that's the case then why do we see had lines like this one of the largest lobbies for tag is the independent community bankers of america there it is right there tags must be extended to protect community banks so the community banks the banks have benefited by attracting deposits that previously went to larger banks which are seen as safer according to a.p. small banks are worried that there will be an outflow of money from their institutions to large banks or

we could get a little sleet, primarily out near i-81, east of the blue ridge.y 3:00 tomorrow afternoon, any precipitation we will get tomorrow will be very light but, again, the opportunity for a little light sleet across parts of southern pennsylvania, northern and western maryland, do be careful tomorrow if you are driving and the roads are getting wet. the good news, it's a fast-moving system and will be out of here in time for christmas morning. so sunday night good day to make the trip to grandma's house, a good day for that. and here is the all-important 7-day forecast. it will stay cool around here for the next few days, but not unseasonably so. and tomorrow watch out for the rain drops and maybe a passing sleet pellet or two, but the precipitation amounts will be very light. tuesday, christmas day, dry, and another chance of moisture and cold air on wednesday, wednesday night and thursday, and that one we will need to watch more closely. >> thank you, chuck. >>> looks like many of us are willing to lie when it comes to getting some time off work. a new

most of that will be up towards the blue ridge, shenandoah valley and upper parts of maryland. and tomorrow late morning to late afternoon be on the lookout for the possibility of slippery going north and west of town. today, nothing to worry about. sunny and nice, and temperatures up in the 40s today, and tomorrow the complete opposite, cloudy and cold and rain likely for most, but pelets possible. doesn't look like we will measure it as far as inches are concerned, but nonetheless, any kind of slipperiness is a possibility. christmas day is a nice one. and then the snows from california will have a chance to travel all the way to us. and then on wednesday night, windy and cold around here. this next system will have moisture and cold air to work with so we will watch that closer and then another one on the heels of that for next week. >> sounds great. >> both of you got hair cuts? >> yes. >> looking good. >> mine is a little short. >> mine is, too, but i like it. >>> next up, reporters' notebook. >> we will be back in 15 minutes with our top stories and another check of the s

winter weather revisory is in effect especially on the maryland and pennsylvania border near the blue ridgeea. the farther south and east from washington, the better chance of a mix. the farther north and west mostly snow. temperatures around the area this morning, partly cloudy. in the 30's until you get west of the mountains. some twenties out there. a high-pressure is overhead right now. to the southwest we will see changes with increasing moister coming from the south. that will set the stage for some snow early tomorrow morning. let's get an update on traffic from steve hershorn. what is going on, on 355? >> bafta back up. they are fixing a water main breaks on wisconsin avenue at cedar lane. that is allowing one right lane to get by. this is the back up leaving the beltway to the south -- to go south on 355. you might want to pick another route. this one is not working very well. in virginia, northbound 395 at duke street looks pretty good. very light volume. this is more typical of what we are seeing this morning. that's what interstates look like all around the region, for the most

montgomery county, louden county in virginia run on down into areas of warren and around blue ridge. maryland bordering pennsylvania, about 2 to 4 inches of snow. there it could stay on the ground a little longer. slippery conditions for the early part of the day. latter part of the day, as we warm up and we will, i think, by a few degrees. not much. 39 is where we are now. so as that snow comes back into the area, because we did have a few flakes early this morning, a few wet flakes, temperatures will start to drop, and it will support the snow for a while. you're seeing the radar split because of the two areas of low pressure. it's snow mostly up to the north. sleet and rain around the northern neck. then it's snow for winchester, martinsburg. take a look at your future weather here. snow pulls in by 10:00. it all starts to fill in again. then rain starts to take over by the noon hour. your best chance of snow is before noon today. we clear out by 3:00 p.m. as far as the rain ending up to our north. then temperatures will get plenty cold by sunday morning. that means slippery going

ridge of high pressure in place. giving you a live look at san francisco and the bay bridge, we've got, again, blue skies out there, high clouds passing overhead. those clouds will begin to increase a little bit later today, ahead of, yes, the next system. right now winds are light, calm in livermore and san jose and the breeze in fairfield, 8 miles per hour. temperatures are a little cooler than 24 hours ago. it was a chilly start but we're making up the difference in the afternoon. temperatures just below the season al average but not too bad with the sunshine in many cases. here's the stormtracker showing you high clouds moving overheard. this is about all we'll see -- overhead. this is about all we'll see today. but we have another system that will begin to move in and bring us some rain as early as tuesday. so farred to, we're -- so far today, we're dry, the winds will remain light. rain returns on tuesday and it looks like it will ging us a decent amount. but compared to what we've seen in recent days, this will be easy to take. giving you a look at the high clouds today and then the rain arriving tomorrow and the

radar is showing you blue and clear skies overhead and this will be the case for today but our dry mild days are numbered. we have a system coming our way. i want to show you that ridge of high pressure. right, there is the arch and that system in the gulf of a alaska will only bring us cold weather. the offshore breeze is helping to dry us up. for us there is no trouble and we start out with just a few patches of fog. we are stating out by tuesday afternoon and look at the time stampel. there is the rain in the northwest california and it ross -- crosses into the overnight hours. if this stays consistent we will be mainly dry for the moo commute. >>> -- commute. >>> by tuesday we begin to see the transition and take a look at these temperatures. they really plunge. by wednesday snow levels are expected to drop to 3,000 feet which means some of the highest elevations could see a dusting of snow mt. diablo and mt. hamilton. they are reporting winds at 12 miles per hour and temperatures widespread 60s and 70 degrees in oakland. mid-to-upper 60s for the afternoon. 65 for novato, 67 in berkeley. maybe even 71 before the day is over, 61 in fremont and 68 in santa cruz. st

ridge. however now the high pressure moves in an easterly direction and builds in and contributes to an offshore flow. and we will have nothing but sunshine, blue skies, 64 degrees as the 49ers play host to the miami dolphins, cougher at 1:# -- kickoff at 1:05. temperatures tomorrow not going up. pretty much between about 62 and 67 degrees but the winds breezy northwest up to 15. then the higher elevations to the east bay hills right around 30-mile-per-hour gusts. again that's not highest elevations -- in the highest elevation. 64 in napa. also fairfield and vacaville. mid 60s pleasanton through blackhawk. 67 in santa rosa. air quality begins to get a little bit stagnant by monday. you'll want to fake note of -- take note of that. otherwise five and even seven day forecast called for subtle changes by tuesday night result information rain showers drop -- resulting in rain showers developing. one computer model suggests rain by the morning rush on wednesday and a lingering shower thursday. not much of a temperature span wednesday through friday and then the possibility of rain back if the forecast. this time -- in the forecast, this time next sa
