our seasonable normal 45. 46 in easton, 46 in ocean city. highs today not much warmer than that, upper 40s with the cloud deck and rain cooling there. again, the heaviest of the rain is done for all the viewing area with the exception of easton and parts of the shore. those areas you will be clearing out quickly, probably the next 60 to 90 minutes. what comes next is the key concern as we go into the weekend. looks like we'll she nice clear weather to kick things up. as we look out to the north and west, nice cool and dry weather. all that moisture is surging ahead of the low pressure, but behind this system definitely watching carefully for what comes next. it's beginning to develop. we'll check the trend. clear tomorrow behind the rain showers that will be out of lear in the next -- here in the next hour or two. then sunshine and 50s with more sunshine and some increasing clouds. this is what we're watching. southern rain maker will come up the coast sunday and still an unknown how much cold air will wrap into the back side of the storm as

it feels like 28 degrees in baltimore and easton. those 30s you saw feeling like the 20s this morning. satellite and radar, not picking up on a lot. we're going to clear out today as high pressure builds in from the west. that system is already moving its way out into the atlantic ocean as of now the snow is long gone. we will warm up nicely for today but high pressure definitely going to be in control of our weather as future trend picking up on that. then we'll start to see a new system working its way in, as we go late into friday, overnight into saturday morning. so that could be bringing us a wintry mix across the area. then temperatures for today not so bad. around 46 degrees. icy spots possible this morning. we could get a few clouds as we go through the day. but all in all it's going to be a nice day outside, but windy, make sure you have the coat. >>> let's check the traffic with angela. good morning. how are you doing? >> good morning. doing pretty good. in the traffic center we're off to a good start, despite the condition

just south of easton. toward saint michaels, they are getting snow in salsbury. this cut off has been sharp. where we are getting light radar returns, so far haven't seen any surface reports saying it's hitting the ground. mainly south of washington in the lower eastern shore. that snow as it came down south of dc and richmond. we caught it here on the weatherbug camera. aceta couple congratulations starting to add up down the richmond way. travel down i-95, could be tricky, keep that in mind. the winter weather advisories for areas south of maryland. rest of tonight we will throw in the chance for a few more scattered mixed showers, mainly south of route 50. more on how things shape upcoming up. >> thank you. tonight over a hundred young teens gathered to remember their friend . he opened the door of a moving car to get sick. >> we have learned the 13-year- old was drinking a powerful combination of caffeine and alcohol. cheryl connor. >> reporter: that's right. michael's mom said he was drinking 4loko when he fell out of his stepfather's car. i talked to her an

and easton right around 33. but the big story is gusty out there. the winds gusting to 25 miles an hour make it feel like we are in the 20s. you need to bundle up as you head out this morning. let's check the traffic with angela. good morning and it is the holiday how are the road look. >> reporter: very nice. delightful if i may. it's very nice lynette. and great driving conditions. we have a look at most of the major roads especially in the city 95 and 895 both very light moving through the tunnels. north and southbound. also a look at harrisburg expressway look good there as well. another -- looking good there as well. looking at the traffic flow. 95 south of maryland 152, no delays to report traveling through harford county and pulaski highway and 7 philadelphia road checking in with no delays. a nice ride around the beltway as we mentioned on the west side of 695 at wilkins avenue through catonsville for folks out there. no delays to report between i- 95 and the harrisburg expressway. now back over to you. >> new developments in the death of a

it depends on where you're watching from, easton, st. michael's.altimore we're 10 degrees cooler. >> crazy weather. i can't believe it. >> late february. >> if you were a betting man, do you think winter is over? this is it? willing to lay down a bet on that? >> we've had record snowstorms even in march, even though it's unlikely. >> not willing to bet on it just yet. >>> the gop presidential candidates are working hard to sway voters. the next two states to vote are michigan and arizona. tory dunnan is in phoenix, arizona. tell us why arizona is so important in this election cycle. >> reporter: for now, mitt romney hams the lead in arizona but it's a really close race, so we decided to take an in-depth look at why this state matters. traditionally arizona has been a state as red as its famed red rocks. only once in the past 60 years has the state gone to a demic presidential candidate. 2008 barack obama fell eight points shy of arizona senator john mccain. take away the home state advantage and there could be an opening this time around. that's wh

easton at 57. those winds gusty as they were yesterday at least around baltimore and washington we're seeing a south wind around 14 sustained. the region looks quiet other than the wide lie scattered showers to the west -- widely scattered showers to the west. none of it is all that impressive. there's a little wintry weather toward the great lakes and as this comes through later tonight, certainly keep the breeze up, maybe spark a few showers but they will be quickly finished. as we look at our trend, the model picking up on scattered rain activity toward 10:00. wouldn't shock me if we don't see much. thursday we're clear, clear through the early part of the day, some increased clouds but it looks dry last temperatures rocket into the mid to upper 60s. friday maybe a morning shower before cooler air and wind begins to roll into the state, really changing temperatures for the weekend. tonight down to 42, a few showers cool and breezy. tomorrow we go to 67 balmy degrees. tomorrow night down to 45 wi

we are two degrees warmer around much of the area, cooler from elkton down toward easton but overall right on the same level except that we don't have any bad weather moving in our direction. so what does that mean for our weekend and how is it playing into the rest of our week? for that we send it out to marty bass. hello. >> hello, good afternoon, everybody. we don't have any bad weather moving our way but after today and tomorrow, heck, tomorrow we are right at 50, maybe a couple of clicks higher than that. we will see a downturn of temperatures over the weekend. a big dome of high pressure will open up over canada and it will be 12 to 18, there will be a few flurries, insignificant, no concern at all but the temperatures will get your attention. the air is coming from north. yeah, saturday and sunday going to feel like winter. when does the meld february return? in time for valentine's day? we will answer that question with meteorologist tim williams coming up shortly. now we throw it back inside. >> updating that breaking news, a baltimore school has been evacuated for smoke in

easton 44. it will be a breezy and barely cool evening, barely crisp. we'll talk about how your complete week shapes up coming up. >>> a day on the slopes turned deadly in washington state this weekend. a group of eight people, all experts fear went skiing. an avalanche came crashing down sweeping some 3,000 feet down a canyon. there were avalanche warnings at the time. >> i wouldn't be doing it. again, that's part of the thrill on this type of skiing. it was their decision. >> a fourth person was killed in a separate avalanche in washington state over the weekend. experts say avalanches kill about 25 people in the u.s. each year. >>> drivers in the richmond area probably wished they stayed home yesterday and today. virginia state police responded to nearly 1,000 traffic crashes. more than 200 were in and around the richmond area. icy roads made it tough. several vehicles actually slid off the road. >>> now we're taking a look at some of the stories that affect you and your money. gas prices have been rising in recent weeks and it's only february. jamie

light wind in to baltimore, 3 miles per hour, 6 easton.is is what it feels like because of the light winds, feels like 16 degrees, we are feeling like we are in the teens this morning. it is cold. these temperatures well below average. 16 york, 17 frederick. hagerstown 15. i know you hear me say bundle up, even when the temperatures are 30s, 20s, you need to layer yourself this morning. cover your fingertips and ears and extremities, you could get frostbitten. satellite and radar, we are under mainly clear skies. that's the scenario throughout the day. we have an area of high pressure that will build in from the west to the east as we go through time, this will start to slide towards the east. we will have an area of low pressure sliding in from the west and that will be bringing us a chance for snow as we go in to your tomorrow. future trend, this model not doing a great job at picking up on the snowfall. check out what happens, it tries to get closerment it stays in to western maryland. i'm not sure i'm buying the scenario. i think we wi

look at the highs. 64 easton. these were not quite records because they were 75. satellite radar picture showing clouds rolling in. month precipitation. chance for morning showers and more on the week ahead coming up. >> thank you. let's get to the story you will only see here on abc2. a story we have been covering for months. today a major hearing against the man accused in a massive paving scam went on without him. we were allowed to take our cameras inside the courtroom here. at the hearing brought by the attorney general. the agency claims that he was operating a paving business without a license for 284 days in the state. offering no estimates or low ball estimates. the state said at least 16 people were hit and some charged as much as 20 to $30,000. >> very loudly i said this cannot be -- the first time he showed up and. >> you see him? no show. a no show in court but the case moved on without him. a hearing judge will hear the case and issue a decision in the future. >>> police say a fight between teens was a misunderstanding. police say a 15-year-old will

and easton. around the metro area, 22 in westminster and columbia. 25 on kent island.uble digits around the area. when we have the winds this strong, we'll talk about the windchills. with the temperatures in the 20s and the winds going up to 20 miles per hour, you don't have to guess, the windchills are down into the single digits. 4 is what it feels like in hagerstown. 3 in cumberland. minus 5 in oakland and 7 degrees in easton. 13 around most of central maryland, around the beltway. the storms that brought the light snow have moved out of here. rain is gone. winds have dried us out quick him didn't freeze the roads too much. the winds dried out the moisture before the temperatures froze the ground. maybe with the winds, we could see a few lake effect snows cold air will get pushed out of here. high pressure will build in and mild air comes around it. we're talking about monday night and tuesday. because the air will be so cold, we'll be around 29 degrees, in time for valentin's day, temperatures into the 40s and 50s. sunset today at 5:41, we have gail warnings in eff

we are quite mild along the eastern shore into easton around 41 this morning. and we are active around middle part of the nation back off towards the west. this storm right here is the one that we have our eye on as this will dive down into northern mexico and it's going to gather a little bit of moisture from the gulf of mexico. and then it moves off toward the north and east possibly as we go into your weekend. it could be bringing us maybe some wintery weather. as of right now, the satellite and radar not picking up on anything across the area in terms of rain, snow. we are dealing with clouds out there. high pressure will start to move in from the west and we will see plenty of sunshine through the day. a northwesterly flow going to pick up the wind a bit out of the northwest. and at about 10 to 15 miles an hour. we will have a cold front that slide through the area by tomorrow. and future trend picks up on the fact we will have some rain moving in here. shall your morn rush hour looks good but the evening commute looks on the wet side. snow to the north an

dc coming in around 10, 6 in hagerstown, easton 9 miles. so the wind chill, we are feeling cold this morning. so bundle up out there. temperature 23 into baltimore. feels like 29 in easton and 17 in hagerstown. satellite and radar, not picking up on a lot. we had the clouds this morning but you can see them breaking apart. that is what we like to see. that means we will have lots of sunshine in here by the afternoon. high pressure really going to do its thing a it moves in here from the west. future trend shows a lot of sunshine but also we will have a new system making its way in here as we go late into friday evening, early into saturday. we could see more snow being dropped out there once again. your neighborhood forecast for today, 45 degrees into reynoldstown, 46 ferndale. the temperatures are still above average. we're sliding to the south around the shores, 48 degrees. lake shore around 47 as well. not so bad i say. your forecast for tonight, 28 degrees, mostly clear but seasonably cold. by tomorrow, 50 degrees, a mix of sun and clou

patchy fog in easton and frederick this morning. so have those low beams on. the winds are going to be one of the big stories for today. they are starting to pick up into baltimore. we have a 12-mile-an-hour wind now. this is sustained. we are not dealing with gusts. gusts at 25 miles per hour. going into the afternoon and evening, the gusts of 25 will be the sustained winds and gusts up to about 15 miles an hour later on this evening. satellite and radar picking up a on -- up on clouds. we had another round still here trying to head over into cecil county. that's beginning to push out as well. another break behind that. but then we will see some more showers and maybe a rumble of thunder moving in as we go into the afternoon. because we are in that weather pattern that is warm. so we are in the warm sector and that's where it is between the cold front and the warm front. the warm front will move through a little later today. and then we will have that cold front move in and once it does that that's when we will have the chance for

easton and denton getting ready for rain. 67 tomorrow afternoon.ind jamie on the links out there with bill hooper. >> come on i will beat him. >> weight loss programs can be expensive. so to save some money, i just got the popular girls from the local middle school to follow me around. ew. seriously? so gross. ew. seriously? that is so gross. ew. seriously? dude that is so totally gross. so gross...i know. there's an easier way to save. geico. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more. . >>> i was going to say check the baking pans. >> everybody will be out. >> you are liking it. >> warm day. >> enjoy. >> 57.

off out there after a somewhat mildler monday and then a frigid weekend we had. 36 now, 40dc, 37 easton and we have 36 in wilmington delaware. across the state clouds rolling in. still dry, other than perhaps a couple of light snow showers out toward deep creek. that's the opening round. with a question as we track this next mainline of precipitation, will this be a heart breaker for valentine's? not so much. upper 40s, yes the chance for hit and miss showers through the day. keep the umbrella handy. we will talk more about the impact and look to the rest of the week coming up. >> tonight baltimore -- will throw a few punches hoping to make u spokane washington in the trials. we have been following this them for months and we will let you know. >> steven briere robbed last week while in the caribbean on vacation. a man with a machete surprised him. he got away with about a thousand dollars this cash. nobody was hurt. >> we are learning more about the death of whitney houston. there were prescription drugs in the hotel room but they aren't say figure it had anything to do with the death.

but 41 right now in dc and 43 in easton along the eastern shore here. we are a little chillier into york pennsylvania coming in around the freezing degree mark. but, the big story is what's coming down the pike. so, we are looking at the satellite and radar. this is the national picture here. now we do have a storm that's originating out of the west. and what's doing happen is it's going to -- going to happen is it's going to drop in southern california and down into northern mexico. then it will gather a little steam and then it will make the north east turn. so by the time we hit the weekend, well, we could see the potential for a nor'easter out there. and it depend on the track. you heard us say this so many times. so if it takes a track more southerly, we will be in all rain heading into saturday evening and into your sunday morning. and then if it takes a track that is a little bit further to the north, yes, we do have the chance of potential for again some snowfall across the area. but we don't know anything about snowfall totals and again, we are

coming in right around 33 degrees into elkton and easton that temperature right around 36 degrees. by this afternoon we'll be at 50. you might want to take one of those layers off so you're prepared to move through your day. i'm prepare today send this over to angela so we can talk about the traffic. anything on the roads yet? reporter: motorists are having an easy time, we had a look at 795, the northwest expressway, it's moving well. also i-70 traffic moving well coming in from mariesville all the way to 32 and making your way to the west side of 695. now, for those of you who get off of 70 onto u.s. 29, your trip through clarksville to maryland 108 remains open for you. same story on the north side of the beltway as we look live at 695 and providence road. a quick update for our mta commuters, buses and mark trains on time, light rail running 20 minutes behind schedule from hunt valley to the bwi airport. over to you, megan. >>> 5:30 right now. more than seven years, that's how long it took maryland's board of physicians to discipline one doctor accused of sexual misconduct. his

we can see the dew points in the 20s basically everywhere easton coming in around 30.eally making it evaporate before hitting surface and we call that virga and we are dealing with the fact we are dealing with temperatures above freezing in baltimore 34 there and more of the same in easton along the eastern shore. close to 40 in dc and we had at freezing in york and frederick and winchester. we have a couple factors fighting against us for the snow. weather pattern looks like this as we will see try to get it in here but, as we like cross the bay, we are seeing a little bit of a wintery mix switching over to rain and that's going to be the scenario as we go into the afternoon. more rain because the temperatures are going to get well above freezing. future trend not so impressive. not picking up on a lot going into motion. things fizzle out but i am keeping that chance of rain in here as we go into the afternoon. dinner plans take the rain gear with you just in case. and you know men be the gentleman and put it over the woman's head and that whole thing or i know, lay y

and in to easton right around 40 degrees. are under clear skies and plenty of sunshine going throughout the day. and we are awaiting a next system back across the west. this will move in as we go into your tomorrow. it will bring rain into the picture. it's breezy this morning and the breezes will die down throughout the day. and temperature comes in around 52 degrees. let's check of your traffic with angela. there's a accident out there to talk about. >> reporter: yes, there's an accident we have been following on i-70. the good news is state police have gotten it out of the way. bad news is we are trying to recover. especially in the eastbound lanes still a bit heavy as you pass maryland 27. once you get past that point dealing with involve make the approach to 695. also reported disabled vehicle on the top side at providence road this is going to be on the inner loop so not going to impact the drive too much of the outer loop is where we have the heavy traffic. on the east side you can see moving pretty well past the bw pa

easton around 7 mile visibility as of now. make sure to have your low beams on heading out and about this morning. i am going to talk about temperatures. we are cold this morning. stick around for that and let's he check the traffic with angela. how are the roads looking this early. >> reporter: good morning. roads are look pretty good for the most -- looking pretty good for the most part. overnight activity cleared on 895 southbound at child street. roadways are open and clearing. dealing with overnight maintenance in the tunnel on 895 as well as 95 and speaking of 95, here's live view of 95 for motorists from harford county passing 152 mountain road. and coming from the south on i- 95, a live view of 95 at 395, making your drive into downtown. over to you megan good morning. >> good morning. 4:32. >>> jury selection will begin at 9:30 in the murder truffe of george hugeley charged -- trial of george hugeley charged in the murder -- hugeley charged -- hugeley charged in the murder of yardly love. they are expected to -- yeard

if your travels are taking you to the south, we're looking over across the eastern shore into easton, zero there and fredrick and york, pennsylvania coming in right around two-mile visibility this morning. now, the fact is we do have a dense fog advisory in effect until 6:00 a.m. for the counties here shaded in this grayish color and that would be anne arundel county and basically points southward as we go through the morning time frame. everywhere else just a little bit of patchy fog out there. maryland's most powerful radar not picking up on anything right now, basically have all five sweeps going. we are dealing with a little bit of misting out there. the air is just really saturated and that will be the scenario through this morning, but we will bring lots of sunshine to the area. but for right now temperatures coming in right around 36 degrees. again, these temperatures are well above what we should be now for this time of the year, close to 40 degrees in bel aire, close to 40 in chestertown, 39 into centreville and arnold coming in right around 38 degrees. let's get a check now

check out dc, 15-mile-an-hour wind, 14 in easton and 7 in hagerstown. and so the 30s i showed you are feeling more like we are in the 20s around easton, 24 there and salisbury around 29. and 23 in frederick and also into york. if you going out this morning, bundle it up. satellite and radar not picking up on a whole lot at home. cloud out there. but we still do have snow along the eastern shore here. the lower eastern shore and out into the atlantic mainly rain. and they do -- i do believe they will get a inch to two inches in the area but mainly on the grassy surfaces. weather pattern brings high pressure in here as we go throughout the day. we will get the northerly flow around the high. so, we will be breezy and check this out. we have the area of high pressure but then we have the system that passed through yesterday. so, between that high and low, you're getting the difference there and that's why we are looking at a pressure gradient that's going to be on the wendy side for today. future trend picking up on the fact that nothing is going to be hap

making the drive from the easton shore a live look at u.s. 50 and sandy point. no overnight closures on the bay bridge all lanes are opened and moving without delay. now lynette we are on a holiday. hopefully today will be a great day to get out for those off work today. >> it will be. you know, we have clouds out there right now. but we are going to get sunshinegoing into the afternoon. the winds, the big story and it will be going through the afternoon. winds out of the north into baltimore at about 8 miles an hour. and these are the sustained wind. we have gusts now up to about 20 miles an hour. and more of the same over in easton and dc17 so the gusts may be up to 25, 30 miles an hour. so you can see, a pretty gusty day on tap for us. satellite and radar not picking up on a lot. the clouds covering the area. but back off into west virginia, you are seeing the clearing line and that's what's going to be working its way in here. stale couple snow showers along the eastern shore. lower eastern shore and rain is out to sea as of now. there's the high pressure th

your temperatures into the 30s in many areas to the low 40s. 41 for baltimore and winchester and easton9 in fredricksburg. charlie in catlet he was 36 along with culpeper. prince william county we've got readings there which are also down in the mid-30s around manassas. we've got a good look at the white house. just about 45 minutes before the sunrise with cloudy skies reported at reagan national. north, northeast wind at 8. our windchill in the upper 30s and the dew points, the air still dry at 32 degrees. but that dry air maybe another 24 to 30 hours before some of the moisture that we're watching in the middle of the country becomes thursday's rain maker. it's getting into western kentucky this morning. we'll see how quickly this can come in toward d.c. and moisten things up. looking at the future cast, yeah, we expect early clouds to be pulling away and then we're going to have a lot of sunshine today. it's going to be overnight tonight when the clouds roll in. again i think the morning commute is fine and the afternoon commute, that will be a wet one. 55 in d.c. today. 52 up in lay

easton is 43. and at the pangs river nave -- pax river naval air station we have 46. our high temperatures under sunshine and southwest breeze will make it to the low 60s in a couple of spots like culpeper, manassas. around 06 here in -- 60 here in washington t. is 5:00 a.m. straight up monika santami is in with your time saver traffic. >>> good morning, everybody. i'm really happy to say we're starting off this early morning rush hour really well. no problems to report. all around town i'm going to start off with the west side on the dulles toll road out of leesburg. 66 out of haymarket. there are absolutely no problems. we'll take a live look at the beltway on the west side of town at the american legion bridge. the volumes are still light between bethesda and tysons and all that overnight construction pretty much gone for the day. we're going to go back over to the maps and this time on the south side of town at 95 at the occoquan river coming up from triangle. you're fine. you can see all the green. that means traffic is moving at or above the speed limit. in spri

we are south easton, southeast asian, and filipino. i want to thank the leaders in our community who are here with us tonight, leaders of our benevolent associations, our business associations, and our commissioners. we cannot do what we do in city hall without all of you. we know we have come a long way. it was not long ago that chinese americans were excluded under our city laws. when japanese americans were interned. when filipino tenants were evicted from the international hotel. when the fbi investigated our community. for us to stand here now is amazing. i think finally we have enough asian americans to form our own dragon dance team. it would be a short dragon, but a dragon dance team nonetheless. we would not be here and be able to do that but for the support we have and the work we are all doing together. thank you all for being here, and a very happy lunar new year. [applause] supervisor chu: today, i want to welcome you to city hall and wish you a happy new year. [speaking chinese] [applause] may you have much luck and good

and pax river. 37 degrees in easton. the mid-30s, columbia, westminster, 32 bel air. 43 annapolis and on kent island. today's weather is really easy. we're going to call for a high of 52, we could get to 55 degrees. we want to talk about this area of low pressure. it's a weak moisture-star storm. not going to be a dramatic issue. it will pass literally right on top of it. maybe some snow showers. more than likely where you live. rain showers in your forecast, but there could be, you may see a visual, flurries blowing around. tomorrow night, our temperatures down to 47. partly cloudy, 29 overnight. tomorrow, i think this is a lot more visual than today's going to be. 42 degrees going to be the high. 27 the low tomorrow night. 50 friday. here's the issue for the weekend. it'll get cold. 58, 15 saturday. one of the coldest day and nighttime combos we've had all season long. 34 degrees on sunday. cold temperatures, calm weather. this 5-day forecast takes us 1/3 of the way through this month. >>> 14.5 past the hour. here's sh

we are at freezing in easton. 31, so it is actually colder south and east of baltimore. tomorrow will be close to 50 in most spots around the city. but north and west upper 40s to about 48. 51 tomorrow. clear for now, but we do see the clouds approaching from the west, and a more significant storm here than we have seen in a while. though at this point in time it still appears the bulk of this will track south of us and just provide a glancing blow to baltimore. it is our weekend weather maker set to arrive late tomorrow evening, high pressure keeping us nice and dry for now. but we will watch as this tracks in toward tomorrow evening. in fact speaking this storm it done a number in places like colorado. we have video from there to show you. it is interesting this storm had such an impact out in the western rocky. they got 18 inches in spots around denver from this storm. that unusual february in denver, normally they get four to sick inches for the month of february. so they're getting triple the normal for the month from just this one storm. you can see why we have wat

pretty much gone with the sun today. 39 easton, patuxent. it was really richmond over to south of fredericksburg. richmond to charlottesville. luckily, north of the city, was bright and sunny. and temperatures in the low to mid-40s. 42 right now. 43, westminster. 47 in annapolis and kent island and d.c. 49 again today, above average, all day long. 33, the average low is 27. record, 76. and 4 back in 1979. we have a light north wind. tomorrow, the winds are going to shift around again. more to the south and southeast. keeping us in warm air for several more days. there's a weak front out to the west. passing to our northwest. which means ahead of it, the air comes out of the southwest, particularly aloft. more warm air coming into our region. may get into the 60s. there may be a cold front approaching us sunday night. and friday, it will probably turn cooler by evening. but in the meantime, mild temperatures for the rest of the week. probably shower activity here thursday night and on friday. as the front comes through. it will be breezy tomo
