in frederick, 34. 32 in winchester. it will drop about 5 degrees for the wind chill, what your body feels like. today will be a good travel day. partly sunny 39-43. if we look at our seven-day forecast snow tomorrow. more details on that in a few minutes. that's the latest on the forecast. let's check on traffic with steve. happy friday. >> happy friday. the 14th street bridge is moving smoothly writedowns. no delays on the interstates around the area. looking very good with light volume to start this friday before the new year. and there's dry pavement. no problems on 395 from springfield to the 14th street bridge. 270 at route 1 hundred nine09 headlights are headed southbound, lots of space between the cars, and in good shape all the way to the beltway. in springfield northbound on 95 and the main lanes of hov, no delays. lighter than usual. in bethesda, we still have the water mains work on 355 at cedar lane. only the right lane getting by southbound. that could be there a couple hours or longer. just to let you know

look at the temperature. 57 frederick, 67 degrees in fredericksburg. again, some areas cool, some areas feeling a lot more like spring. as we get through the overnight, from 56 at 11:00 p.m. to 46 at 5:00 a.m., mild start to the day tomorrow, we'll see a bit more fog especially in the sheltered area, but any spot, as this warm front z weather front moves through. then it will be breezy just about everywhere. we'll get some sunshine, but then we're sun challenged the day after. here's your forecast for the evening. 53 to 57. yes, you will need your umbrella

right now temperatures are still above freezing in a couple locations, like hagerstown 34, 36 in frederick and gaithersburg, still 40 in d.c., but we have strong winds out of the north and northwest. a 32 miles per hour wind gust right now in hagerstown, 1 in manassas, 16 miles per hour in d.c. those strong winds out of the northwest are bringing in colder air. so we will see the temperature drop below freezing, especially in the north and west suburbs. 26 to 32 for your overnight lows. we'll slowly warm into the 30s

temperatures outside really dropping out in the suburbs, frederick right now 28, baltimore 32, here in town holding at 38 degrees, manassas is freezing, culpeper freezing, winchester freezing, martinsburg below. once this precipitation overspreads the area, i think it's going to start as all snow, here's what we're talking about. we're already beginning to see the faintest of returns back out to the west just about to cross over into at least parts of extreme western virginia. most of west virginia is covered up with some sort of precipitation now. distinct rain/snow line, too and the snow is falling around towards indiana up towards ohio, but cold air is in place, so we will get a pretty rapid changeover to some light snow it looks like overnight tonight. listen, this is not a big storm. it does look like it's going to become a big storm after it passes us by. it looks like most of the areas will have snow before sunrise. i think some areas may have it as soon as 2:00 or 3:00 in the morning. been watching this closely all night checking the new information coming in. the trend would h

county right here, rockville, leesburg, frederick, hagerstown, washington county and right down that i-81 corridor the snowfall totals will be higher out there and certainly the higher elevations will pick up more. it's beginning to look like here in town probably not much. this trend continues to maybe introduce a little bit more in the way of rain here in the district than perhaps what we were thinking earlier. so we'll go with that and you can see all this precipitation getting closer to us, very doesn't shutoff between the cold and the rain. so there's just going to be basically an area of snow and then an area of rain and it's going to be a little in between but not much. we can see current radar imagery now. we're already beginning to see a little light snow moving up towards the northwest. it will fill in, though. i think by sunrise, so overnight tonight, early tomorrow morning just about everybody will be getting in on the act. here is futurecast tomorrow at 4 a.m. it starts to get in here to the city and moves across.

gaithersburg at 36. 32 in frederick. 39 in d.c. so what falls will likely be melting very quickly. of course, it's been all morning long that the dry air was over us. so everything working against us really getting any acculating snowfall. but we do have a batch that's moving in, moving through. you can see the white there. as i zoom in on d.c., you can see that we've got it right now around fairfax, around warrenton. the snow will be moving eastward. we have the chance of snow now for the next three, maybe four hours until noontime, but we're not going to get much. after noon, it's rain that takes over and starts eating away at the storm system. this whole event is over with at 3:00, except for the wind and cold. i'll have more on that and what you can expect for the rest of your weekend in a couple minutes. >> thank, veronica. >>> the snow has already started falling in the northern parts of
