feeling like 13 here in washington and easton. 7 in southern maryland. next thing we're going to watch not so much what's happening today because we've got high pressure but some of the clouds out here, this is in advance of a storm system that will bring us light snow tomorrow. i'm have more on that for you coming up at about 5:44. right now here's monika samtani at 5:29 with time saver traffic. >>> i'm happy to say there are no major problems out on the roadways. we'll prove it to you and go to an overview of the beltway. things are looking final. all lanes open -- fine. all lanes are open around washington, d.c. from the beltway up toward the 14th street bridge you want to be careful. we are getting reports of possible icy conditions in the 3rd street tunnel. let's head over to the beltway in virginia. everything fine between 95, 66, and over into the tysons area. your lanes are open. a live look here at braddock road. traffic still moving well at 5:30 in the morning. coming up in my next report or let's go to travel times. on the beltway between rout

"think i think we stay in the upper 20s tomorrow. many counties won't see air above freezing. cold polar air will keep rushing in tonight through the first part of the day tomorrow. it's a frigid weather pattern, about as cold as it gets here in maryland. the numbers can get a little lower but for the most part this is some very, very cold stuff. satellite trend across the east now, relatively quiet but another storm expected to form and push in. it will not really begin to develop until tomorrow evening. you can see it right here. as we go into thursday afternoon the storm which doesn't look that big right now will come in thursday night into friday. that could mean a brief winter mix thursday night, friday morning. 17 tonight, clear skies but blustery. tomorrow still very windy. but not quite as windy. 31. tomorrow night, wind chills down to 20s all day. and down in the

and 21 in easton. wind chill right now from here across the bay to 8 degrees. now, we will pull back a little bit. i want to show you what's going on around the east coast because we have problems that extend down to florida this morning. and as you can see, we have ourselves 37 degrees and a thermometer west palm beach. they were at freezing yesterday. and they are below freezing jacksonville to tallahassee. so we are not alone with the chill. it's hitting florida pretty hard. for us, the wind picks up but not as bad as yesterday. 30 degrees. but we don't have the wind advisory. at least we don't have it weather wise. bridges are a different story. >> reporter: wind warnings in place at the key bridge this morning. you will feel the wind on the bay bridge. take it eatsy -- easy and hold on to the steering wheel extra tight. but traffic is off to a good start. southbound on harrisburg expressway, no delays as you head toward the beltedway. we have one accident this morning in anne arundel county in glen burnie. fine road at may road. you will see police on the

even just south of easton you may find a little snow coming down but back in the immediate baltimore area, the good news is, most of the snow done, other then a passing flurry or two later tonight. now check out this winter weather advisory. it's still up for most of the state other than the extreme western edge here. this will be right through 9:00 tonight. we know we'll have icy conditions, many of those roads, even if they've been salted, temperatures too cold to let that salt be extremely effective. here's why. 24 degrees right now, and headed colder tonight. that light snowpack on the ground will help drop temperatures, and many spots in the morning i wouldn't be surprised to wake up in the upper teens. man, what a wild wintry scene today! roland park, pretty decent coating of snow here, just over an up in. most spots across the meet  baltimore area. nguyen oak, snow coming down. traffic gets thick in a hurry and tough forget around. and even tonight with that snow ending, the roads are looking awfully icy out there. more cool shots from our hd weather net across the state. to

that's the big question. 29 degrees. 23 in easton. 18 in georgetown. big story will be out west. you will hear stories about mud slides. they will be measuring the rainfall. maybe 8, 9 inches and maybe more than that in l.a. but a little bit of freezing rain in nashville over towards knoxville. in is the beginning of the energy that will help our storm system form off the coast. right now an area of low pressure down off the coast of georgia going to help transfer some energy out here and it does look like it will form and it will move forwards new england. if you've got plans to boston that could be even a worst-case scenario. high pressure. little bit of sunshine in the morning. increase of cloud cover. look at the moisture. getting close to home here. this is just a computer model. it could make its way far north of st. mary's county. maybe dorchester county. we won't know until this develops late tomorrow night and into sunday. but the moisture comes pretty close to home. any deviation of 100, 200 miles is going to throw this moisture on top of the cold ground. let's look at

officially it's 35 in baltimore. 36 in easton. but 29 hagerstown and teens west in the mountains. it's all wrapping around this last little piece of energy from the massive storm that blew through the midwest over the weekend and gave us heavy rain yesterday. snow showers for the mountains and ski resorts. a band of snow and two bands across the region this morning. and this could drop upwards to an inch. and temperatures cool down, we could get some accumulations over the next couple hours. so it could get slick during the morning and as we are watching the east coast here, cold air moves down to north florida this morning with flurries across central georgia. snow showers abundant and a few disturbance slide through reinforcing the cold air and temperatures for us will drop, but could be near freezing in miami this time tomorrow morning. for us, though, we stay in the moid-30s. we have had high temperatures -- mid-30s. we have had our high temperatures at midnight. most of the snow this morning and grassy surfaces. just a few slick shots. we drop to 19 and check out the rest of

a few days ago, there was a minus 18 degrees temperature out there. 27 in easton and pax river. 22degreesthe ocean. 19 at westminster. annapolis and kent island, if. this is all lake effect to the west. it's, it's a clear indication that cold air continues to reenforce itself over the mid- atlantic. watch that area of low pressure right there. that will give us that much snow. that's through about break breakfast time. we found out yesterday, we were reminded yesterday, that much snow is worse than that much snow. it could be the same scenario sunday morning. maybe the mother of all -- let's get to raven's game traffic problem. 34 is the high this day. 20 is the low and we're calling it mostly cloudy tomorrow. a sunny start and 35 degrees. during the overnight and during the early morning hours, it's going to be an offshore storm. 35 is the high. mostly cloudy and tuesday, 36. wednesday, sunny and 38 degrees. here to help you get through is sharon gibala. >> hi, there, don. good morning. the bulk hasn't hit the rush hour, we have problems already. first of all, an accident on 924. a secon

nina easton from "fortune" magazine. former state department official liz cheney.ebt commission did not get the super majority it needed to pass and force an up or down vote to cut $4 trillion in the next decade. but is erskine bowles right? when you see everybody from a liberal like dick durbin on the left to a conservative like tom coburn on the right supporting this, will congress support the plan? >> in the environment, that is political momentum. there is some momentum behind it that needs to move forward. but i think you cannot talk about the debt, chris, without also looking at what another piece of news that came out friday which was the unemployment. unemployment statistic. 9.8%. at a time when the economy is rebounding and retail sales and real estate, corporate profits are up. we have to start asking ourselves why is there a long-term unemployment. add to the debt extending unemployment benefit, fine. are we hitting our head against the wall constantly? job vacancies surged by 37% and up employment continues to go up. there is a mismatch between skills,
