doug: memory in my old age. jonathan: the first thing to go. doug: what did you say? a nice memory for some and not for others. chilly but it's not bitterly cold. the temperatures should stay steady. by and large, most of the areas should stay above freezing in upper 30's to 40. the winds are not strong as they were bu breeze to dry up the pavement. that is good news. the latest wind gusts in the storm watch 7 center. 26-mile-per-hour gust at reagan national. 23 at b.w.i. 25 at joint base andrews. these are lighter than the high wind gusts. 45 to 47 miles per hour. doppler radar is quiet as it has been all day, too. with the no precipitation. there are snow in the northwest but our local weather is improving. the temperatures tomorrow are not that much different. in the morning cloudy. it will turn partly sunny. highs of 49. 58 on wednesday. then the strong cold front will come through. trend of the temperatures are falling. maureen: thanks for memories, by the way. jonathan: kirk cousins, now he is going to the pro bowl. fantastic. robert: all-star action! very deser

of the doug petersen frank wright passing game. the other thing we've seen a lot of, i believe it's something we'll see more of as we look toward next year as well. that's the dagger concept. these are not easy throws. i think as carson wentz, after a year,s after a rookie season gets more and more comfortable, we'll see more of this next year. it's a two man route concept. what you get from a slot receiver, he runs a vertical type route, what you get from the outside receiver on the same side what we call a dig, at about 18 yards. normally, the slot receiver is there to lift the coverage, and you throw the dig. as carson wentz gets more and more comfortable, he did a phenomenal job. he threw the vertical route here, he saw the safety wide, and had an turn the to get over the top, and he made a really good throw to jordan matthews on the vertical route. it's a staple foundational concept of the eagles passing game. and then, of course, you get to the screen game. that's something that andy reid did really well, doug pederson was wi

doug hill has more on the winter blast. doug? doug: we are right in the throes of the arctic air mass for one more day. the center is moving out tonight. at the moment clouds and patches of blue sky. it's 22 now in germantown. temperatures will get colder tonight than right now. we are in the low 20's as we speak. the southerly winds developing tomorrow will keep the deep freeze at bay and then it will start to climb. so one more night of the deep freeze as we will hold and drop further through the 20's. tomorrow we will start 15 to 24 degrees but in the afternoon we will be fine. we will approach 39 to 40 in the average with the clouds. wednesday is lower 50's. with rain wednesday night. the best day of the week weather wise is thursday. 64 degrees. but don't get excited because a little colder air will move and the weekend. we will highlight that in the seven-day outlook, the ten-day outlook in a couple of minutes. alison: we will see you in a minute. thank you. meanwhile, only on 7, a care-giver facing criminal charge after lo

doug, a final thought from you.shed! she was a wonderful lady, i have been incredibly lucky to have that support, so god bless you, mum. so the principle has been established, it is a wake—up call for service providers around the country that they will have to look at policies in relation to wheelchair users and make sure that those policies are sound and properly enforced. doug paulley was more positive than we we re doug paulley was more positive than we were initially were. is that fair? yes, he is quite positive. i'm still not so positive. i want to see what changes they're going to make. with muscular dystrophy uk we do a campaign and we work with tfl and we are happy to work with them even more to make them understand what we really need. thank you very much. thank you cord coming on the programme. nice to meet you. thank you. still to come, we'll be finding out how thousands of grandparents could be missing out on a special government scheme designed to reimburse them for looking after their grandchildren. an

doug: tomorrow is a different story. the rain will be widespread in the morning and it will affect the commute. get busy with the weather story on monday. the official high to get you occasionally we do the start to show where we are with the average. 43 is the average high. the morning low was 38. ten degrees above average. above average you will hear about the winter temperatures for a long time. there are no signs right now at least with ten days of getting anything close to wintertime temperatures here. we are going to be significantly warmer. first things first. tonight lower 40's. we showers earlier. another batch later. then in the morning the rain moving in from the west. a good chance you have to deal with it on the morning on the drive to work. the doppler radar shows most is north of the metro washington area lifting north and east because of the southerly winds pushing them that way. there are more showers coming across west virginia. they are here now. it might be 10:30, 11:00 when they get in. this is a war

[laughter] jonathan: you don't see doug rushing out there toumph in. doug: from the experience one tame doing that, it's cold. a great cause. it's all good. so you ready for a return to normal, average, whatever we call the typical january weather. >> we like the abnormal weather. doug: it's changing as we give you an idea of what to expect for several hours and the next ten days. what you see on the screen is a wind advisory. issued this morning. still in effect until 7:00. another 42 minutes or whatever. the winds aren't going to dramatically drop in terms of the 7:00. it means the peak winds are over. we have had wind gusts that were strong in leesburg at 35. but the wind gust in baltimore, washington, d.c., coming down some. it will feel colder because of the winds. overnight the air temperatures are 32 to 38. skies are partly cloudy. the winds feel colder. that is the story tomorrow as well. stormwatch7 future wind chill will show us wind chill late in the low to mid-30's. this is not terribly cold for january. we get to the afternoon where wind c

let's go to stormwatch7 chief meteorologist doug hill. doug: you are right. earlier it was north and west of washington that had the snow. late tonight and tomorrow it is south and east. if you have plans tonight. no weather worries. cloudy and cold. temperatures will drop in the 20's. cold by the morning. what about the snow? stuff showing up on the doppler radar but not reaching the ground. the air is dry. this is a coastal system and it will head to sea. we are on the northern fringe and we'll have the snow here. in advance large part of the southeastern u.s. in the pink area indicate under the winter storm warning that includes st. mary's county, northern neck, eastern shore of maryland. part of delaware. blizzard warnings are now in effect for tide water and the lower eastern shore of the farther south and east you go you will see more and more. we have more coming up. maureen: now the developing story of the russian alleged role in the u.s. election hacking. just released declassified report says the russian president putin ordered a mission to influenc

doug hill is here with the latest. doug: snow will not be a big deal. way this is going to work out, colder temperatures overhead, it may start as snow, but it will be sleet and freezing rain. the national weather service has issued a freezing rain advisory from midnight through 6:00 p.m. in the east counties. the weather service will examine and expand some sort of advisory eastward. this is because of what we knew was coming. the air will get dry and cold. as long as the ground of stays warm, the air temperatures at ground stay above freezing. the colder air will come in. then, it is a race against the clock. temperatures will drop slowly but steadily. a little sunshine at times. here is satellite and radar. it is going to be a major ice portion ofa large the country. futurecast.e morning, werrow have an area of snow depicted here. temperatures will hold steady continue to fall. the best chance of least impact is south and east of the city from metro north and west. there will be problems at times, temperatures not getting above freezing. we will pull

melanie: cannot wait to get outside, doug. doug: we will see the numbers climb into the upper 50's today with sunshine. a few showers could move in with a cold front. maybe early risers could see one. 35, colder. the weekend looks seasonal. plenty of sunshine and seasonably cold. melanie: thanks for joining us this midday. be sure to watch "abc 7 news at 4:00 >> announcer: this is an abc news special report. now reporting, david muir. >> good day. coming to you from the white house where we have conducted the first interview with president trump at the white house. he made several breaking headlines including his visit this afternoon to the department of homeland security where he will sign an order to begin the wall. that promised wall during the campaign along the border with mexi mexico. i asked him who will pay at least at the start. here's where we begin. >> are you going to direct u.s. funds to pay for the wall? >> ultimately it will come out of what's happening with mexico. we'll be starting those

doug: i'm also on loan from the baltimore zoo.we thank them for the curators to let me come down and do this. alison: very nace -- nice of them. maureen: you're cute. doug: thank you. all right. thank you. let's get started here with the weekend forecast. we will start that off with a look at the numbers and compare it to average for this time in january. 45 and 40 the actual high and low. 44 and 29 are the average high or low. nowhere near the record. if i had to pick one to beat, i'd pick that one but not anytime soon. temperatures are where they should be at the end of january at 6:00. up every -- upper 30's to 40's. there is not a lot of spread. mainly because of the cloud cover. from richard reeve's live shot you saw over his shoulder ground with the clouds. it's 6are seeing the daylight getting longer so it won't be long before you can see the sun and take advantage of it. you have to get used to it but you will see dielight -- the daylight longer as you drove home at night. that is encouraging. in the mountains, the higher

doug: it is staying below freezing today and tonight. once we get above freezing tomorrow, we have a good run of quite a few days of freezing temperatures, so the snow will quickly melt in most areas. the viewing area, one of the highest totals was in leonardtown, with nearly 10 inches of snow. the list continues. what we expected happens exactly, with snow at the south and east of the district. california, maryland, st. mary's county, eight inches. 6.5 in woodridge. --t is a measurable snow far snowfall. i think we will see more sunshine is the day goes on. at belle havenit is 25 degrees. temperatures will start to , out of the mid 20's, but only in the upper 20's today. still with the arctic air on top. there is not a lot of movement in the numbers in the afternoon or evening. we will wake up in the upper teens to lower 20's, so it little bit warmer. everything will change as we get a warm front moving in. precipitation to the north and west will miss for a bit, but by wednesday with warmer air, that will be the cause of some showers m

doug: no! alison: never. doug: it should be a national holiday. alison: yeah, doug loves it. still to come at "abc7 news at 4:00" -- when is the last time you heard about kodak? coming up, some of the biggest movies of 2016 that were shot on kodak. plus, we will tell you about the big s.a.g. award winners. q: and this heart stopping video. shooting on caught on camera. today at 4:30 a better look at the gunman as the victim's family describes it all. that's hambone! sally! 22! hut hut! tiki barber running a barber shop? yes!!! surprising. yes!!! what's not surprising? how much money david saved by switching to geico. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more. who's next? alison: digital camera made kodak film for the cameras obsolete but nobody told it to hollywood. 35 and 16-millimeter film is still the preferenc 2016 all shot on kodak. instead of digital.

doug: that is the story. it will warm up tonight and beautiful tomorrow and then it goes downhill for thursday and friday. longer term is a noticeable warm up again. let's get you started and start off with the live doppler radar view. you can cecum berland, southward in the area through the valley areas. there is a fair amount of rain. yellow color indicates the moderate rainfall. the big body is moving northeast to spare the metro area. we won't get out of it altogeth rain associated with the warm front we are on the southeastern edge of it. we will get the rain through metro at times tonight for the next couple of hours. but it looks like the bulk of the rain will stay north and west. future cast and the stormwatch7 weather center picks this up nicely as we go through the next few hours to see the main area push quickly north. temperatures hold steady and they rise overnight. the rain will come to an end in overnight hours and the warmer temperatures come in, there is a good chance we will see theazes of f

i'll send it to doug. it looks like we may have some snow in the forecast, maybe for doug: there is a possibility maybe sunday afternoon or evening something wintry. but a better chance tomorrow morning, mainly north of town. a beautiful image of some of the snow across southern maryland today. just fluffy stuff. it sticks to tree limbs and grass. melted off but looks good. jay in maryland sent it to burst.com/wjla. doppler radar, clean sweep. that was loaded with stuff earlier. now it's just a matter of waiting to see what will happen left. clear skies. 9:00 should be 32 and clear. but shortly thereafter the clouds increase from the north and west. why? i heard someone say that. "why?" because of this system. it's a warm front ahead of it. notice how the snow changes larger, smaller area. there is an area of low pressure from the system. warm front in there. that makes it spread eastward north of the metro area, late overnight predawn. so rush hour, the possibility of more areas of snow. this time around

doug hill has a look at the forecast. doug: we think probably sometime by thursday morning there could be a brief shower, but otherwise quiet stuff. temperatures in the mid 40's. in the mountains, lower 40's. let's get started with the good look in our satellite image here. the big storm has been swimming -- the big store has been spending and springing. now there is colder air, and it snowed in pennsylvania and new england and southern sections of canada. temperatures in the middle to upper 40's. colder and clear o between 34 and 40 degrees, with the wind still about 10, 15 miles per hour. looking at the hour-by-hour temperatures. we will start in the mid 30's, wind up in the upper 50's with plenty of sunshine. hands down, best day of the week. jummy? jummy: meanwhile, a massive nor'easter is slamming the northeast. ferocious wind turning deadly in philadelphia after a sign was sent flying into a man, killing him. and a huge chunk of a merrill sent crashing down. and then that scaffolding. people were sent scrambling out

doug: i have taken a few in my day. 58 tomorrow.nshine. 55 on thursday with a morning shower and colder for friday. 45. steve rudin will talk about the chilly start and the weekend, too. maureen: "world news tonight" with david muir coming up next. jonathan: thank you for being with us tonight. >>> tonight, president trump doubles down. the white house says the president still believes billions of illegal voters is the reason he lost the popular vote to hillary clinton. our correspondent presses the white house today. what evidence do they have to support this? tonight, one key republican saying he is now, quote, begging the president to stop. >>> also tonight, the president's new orders. pushing ahead with construction of the controversial keystone and dakota pipelines, and he'll name his pick for the supreme court. what we have learned about a contender. >>> high winds and the winter blast tonight in the midwest. >>> the health scare. the governor of minnesota collapsing during a state of the state address. there is news coming in

let's head back inside the studios with doug. doug: all right, steve. on the radar and the satellite you can see a little break of clouds in the west. but the other side of the mountains the main weather disturbance to bring us measurable snow tonight. intermittent for the next few hours and later i the future cast gives us a guide for the everything and the nighttime hours. by 9:00 there might be steadier lines of snow from the west. the story late tonight and overnight. the temperatures will drop below freezing overnight. check this out, by 3:00 in the morning, the computers have most moved out of the area. temperatures will fall a bit. with that in mind, the temperatures below freezing and an inch or with the of snow. there could be icy patches. snowy patches in the commute for the morning for sure. that is a story late tonight as well. we will keep it through 7:00 or 8:00 in the morning and then we see it improve a bit. how much snow? an inch or two for those under advisories and everybody else should figure one inch of snow. we have a lot more to s

doug: no. but we were above average. up 50's to near 60 everywhere. >> we are running two months ahead of time. this is a good preview. look at our numbers at 6:00. 55 in washington and fredericksburg. 50 in baltimore. the temperatures will only drop a few degrees. that will be harolded over6:00. if there are now showers leftover it will be well north and east. behind the front the takes take a while to cool down. that is classic. the cold air is lagging behind. in the nurture cast at-future cast at 3:00, the showers will jump eastward. then by 5 erz it's out of the city and to the south and the east. the temperatures start to the drop and by 1:00 in the afternoon they are down to 43 in cumberland. chilly air will spread eastward. so tomorrow everything in the 40's. then it will continue to drop. the winds are gusty. wind chills are a feature as well. there are some clouds. south and east of the city. partly sunny and breezy. 55 around noon. we drop in the afternoon to winds could gust 28 to 29 miles per hour. not high w

doug? doug: a few more hours it will be mile. but it will turn colder and saturday we are back to wintertime with snow, sleet, freezing rain. 69 in baltimore. 72 in annapolis. it's gorgeous out. getting windy out, too. warm winds set the high today at reagan national airport officially for washington at 72 degrees. that was 4 degrees short of the old record of 76. existing record set in 1890. we tied the record for baltimore today from 1890. record of 70 degrees. so the story is a cold front is coming on the way to pass through overnight with a few showers around turn progressively colder today and tomorrow night. late tomorrow night the front will be south of washington. little disturbances will develop along the front. cold air coming down from eastern canada and voila! you have the recipe for wintry mix of snow, sleet, freezing rain. we will drill down on the timing and the effects coming up in eight minutes. back to you. larry: a crew is on the way the to breaking news in fairfax county where someone fired a gun into a daycar

doug hill is here with the forecast. doug: i will show u morning commute looks like. the afternoon and evening should be better than the morning. steady rain has moved out of the area. mostly drizzle and fog right now. late tonight, we have showers and storms moving out. it did not take long for 2017 to outbreak,ado widespread warnings across mississippi and birmingham, alabama. numerous reports of damage already. we will not get anything severe, but it could be heavy at times. temperatures holding steady in the mid 40's. as we get through the early morning hours, you will see the in.ng of the rain moving steady rain during the morning commute. rain will be heavy at times. it should taper off and start to move at the northeast around midday. whether or not we get clearing in the afternoon, not certain. we know that it will be out of here before the evening rush on tuesday. that view. new information of the murder of a high school student killed in her own bedroom. this happene --ay, charlotte them bread charlotte's friends were back in class. deathre coping with the o

doug: we will find out. see what happens here. we have had rain. this is the rainfall total for the last 25 hows. .86 at reagan national. the most in a 24-hour period in a while. scan the map for any higher totals. don't see it. we win the breeze. only a few hundred in frederick. the rain is over. now fog to deal with. we are tracking the visibility. eighth of a mile in winchester. five miles at frederick. three miles at b.w.i. the rest of the area is ten. there could be fog overnight. but the skies will brighten considerably. chilly temperatures in the mid-40's in the city. outlining areas in the 30's. after a touch of fog we will turn partly sunny and cloudy. we have 56 for the high. winds gusting to 25 miles per hour or higher. the change is coming. westerly winds developing develh the sunshine. we will progress there wednesday to thursday, the colder air will move in. thursday night low pressure moves in and friday we could see a dusting or co ordinarily not a big deal. when it happens just before rush hor or beginning of a rush hour with cold

let's check in with doug hill for a look at the forecast. doug: nice recovery to the 50's. clouds move in through the day that got lower and chicker. in advance the warm front spreading rain through the viewing area right now. in the past hour, so the steady rain remained west and the northwest of washington. i appears that the trend will continue tonight. closeup now. steady rain all the way from winchester to luray and beyond. heaviest elements cross the line to west virginia. the outlook tonight for the cloudy skies, period of the rain. east. intermittent. clearly north and west of town where the action will be. the temperatures will stay mild. holding steady or maybe rising. it could set the stage for dense fog tonight and in the morning. but the fog will burn off and it will become partly cloudy with the high of 64. some areas may go to 66 or 67. but it is a one-day deal. is same warm front that will give us a nice day tomorrow comes south late tomorrow as a cold front and drop temperatures. in addition to that, the stage is set for the colder air to be in place early

doug: we can't see how much. but the system is having the same effect in the areas that it goes across. kentucky, ohio, northern suburb, a couple of inches like that with the snow covered grass and the mostly clear roadways are the way to work out. alison: we will see what happens with the morning activities. alison: the problem is even though the roads are pretreated the temperatures by morning are below freezing. there could be slick spots on the roadways. they won't be snow covered and inpassable but they are slippery. that is the concern. all the areas in purple are the areas that are under a winter weather advisories in effect until 5:00 tomorrow morning.- next costal storm develops saturday. the computer model run and seem to push snow farther north and farther north. we keep an eye on it. we have a cloudy forecast here saturday with tonight the first measure rabble snow. one to two inches st of metro and an inch or less. temperatures are above freezing in the city. but places west are at or below freezing

doug: they can. but the resolution is so help it will help in the prediction and save lives because detail of developing squall, tornadoes, hurricanes. i could do a half hour on this but i'll go to the wall. i would be out of time. we let you down gently. cold front. tomorrow is mild. we'll get the seasonably cold by the day on saturday. 52 at 7:00. we drop to 51 and hold there. no lower than 47 or 48 overnight. a mild night. overnight, cold front will come through. there are scattered showers now. they hold together overnight. as a result we expect showers at times. by early in the morning 5:00 or 6:00, they should be east and southeast of the city. they will turn sunny tomorrow. what we find in the day. the temperatures will hit 55 or 56 around midday. then the winds will be gusty, too. temperatures will start to fall. notice by 1:00 in the afternoon, it's down the 44 in winchester and 43 in cumberland. they will take up residents friday, saturday, sunday and a chunk of next week. steve rudin is ba

nice digs, doug. doug: very nice! we'll show more of it. the first thing i am thinking look at the beautiful live shots around the capitol. wouldn't it be great to hang out on the weather pattern for one more day? not going to happen. rain on the way. let's get you started to talk about the numbers. they are delightful for the 19th of january. lower 50's. upper 40's across the region. sunshine in the capitol. as we go through the concert hours just getting underway now on the mall in front of the lincoln memorial. temperatures will be fine. they will drop to the upper 40's. plenty of sunshine. but later tonight the clouds are increasing. a good pull of moisture. this is going to pull northeast to the area. the question all week we have had is when would it arrive? now we are confident that the clouds will roll in continually overnight and the rain will start close to 9:00 a.m. in the morning. that is what we will deal with. area of rain at time. it look like we will clear out tomorrow afternoon. a lot of weather coverage that will come up s

doug: multiple changes in the next few days. we go from today's rainy, miserable start to the day to sunny, breezy and mild weather tomorrow. colder weather thursday and maybe light snow on friday. we have something different every day. we are looking live along the potomac river. fog is showing up. that is the story tonight. watch for fog. some could be locally dense. at the moment it's cloudy, the winds are calm. the rain has ended but the humidity is still high. 97%. so a damp evening ahead with the cloudy skies. satellite and radar shows trailing end of the whole system moving rapidly to the northeast. on the back se but that should not make it across the mountains. that will kind of dry up in the next several hours. in the process period we have chance of fog tonight with the partly to mostly cloudy skies overhead. 38 to 44 degrees, the overnight range of temperatures. looking ahead, you can see the day-to-day changes developing. tomorrow, morning fog but it will become partly if not mostly sunny. it's breezyer. it will be

so, doug, we want to talk about timing, i guess.re all worried about what the morning commute is going to be like. >> i think it fine around i-95. it areas well north and west we're going to see some problems. i thought we'd see something in d.c. it's starting to now. i wasn't expecting any problems on the roads in d.c. that's not going to be the case as you wake in the morning. in the last few minutes, it finally starting to fill in around the d.c. area. i was looking at this over an hour, hour and a half ago. it's just starting to do so. just over the last couple of frames starting to fill in and all of this is moving off towards the east. it wasn't able to do that. it was gettingto elevati elevation, almost exactly. you go up 600 feet right there and you get the flow across. you're seeing snow to the north and the normal areas, higher elevations, damascus, frederick, bluemont, some locations picking up one to two inches of snow already where d.c. has not had many flakes at all tonight. we are lasting this last little burst, it's

doug? alison: no question. doug: we have a situation here. it could have been worse today here and there. that is about it. tomorrow, more rain in the morning. a better chance. what you see at the moment is northwest of the metro area. that will move out. we can't rule out another batch of showers later on. tomorrow is where the rain is likely, especially through the morning. the warm front. more rain there than what we see coming in our direction. that is the story through the day tomorrow. maybe, just maybe tomorrow afternoon we might break into sunshine. don't want to over-sell that possibility. the future cast backs all of this up with a forecast tomorrow morning. the steady area of the rain, metro baltimore to the west. but it should push through smartly in the morning. there are some indications there is a break of sunshine through the afternoon hours. that bodes well. temperatures are warmer. 54 tomorrow. 10 or 12 degrees warmer than today. warmer still as we get to the here. as we go through the day on wednesday. here we are for the n

doug: that is good. jummy: good for the caps. doug: it has been a smooth winter so far. a bigger storm potential south of the metro area tomorrow. let's get busy. back with what the possibilities are -- what you see in pink are areas that are already under a winter storm warning. that is meaning it is going to happen over the lower eastern shore, st. mary's county, the middle peninsula, northern neck of virginia, and in the carolinas and into georgia. we have a cold day out there. 25 in winchester. 32 in quantico. 31 degrees right now, 29 at washington dulles. temperatures will climb a we plan into motion now, still a few snow showers. coming across the mountain, i doubt that will make it into our area. the new area of moisture will be consolidating as it moves out of the gulf of mexico, a storm center off the coast of north carolina, intensifying out of the outer banks, cape hatteras area. in that process, the combination of cold air and abundant moisture will make for a sizable snowstorm. the question is, what effect will it have on us? if this exact track holds, what

doug hill with the forecast. doug: we are in the 70's in many areas. 71, 72 for washington. the record is 76 degrees. set in 1890. no record but man, a beautiful feeling of the early spring. it will change as the cold front comes in tonight. 70 at dulles college park and quantico. heading through the evening we have partly cloudy skies for a while. temperatures will stay mild. the breezes will pick up out of the south and the southwest. there is a cold front on the way. that will change everything. what that cold front will wind up doing is dropping temperature now we will stay probably in the 50's tonight. then we have winter weather, snow, sleet, freezing rain to deal with here on the day sunday. that is it for now. alison: okay, doug. thank you very much. we want to show you this. right now president obama is honoring his right-hand man for the past eight plus years. that is, of course, vice president joe biden. he just received as you can see there around his neck the presidential medal of freedom. they have become great friends holding the top office in country. it was
