fredricksburg at the freezing mark this morning. scott and the gang at andrews checking in with 29. you'll need the heavy jackets and probably the gloves although it may not be too bad with you with highs about 47 in easton and 47 also in leesburg. 5:01. here's monika with timesaver traffic. >>> we had a busy morning in the overnight hours. quite a lot going on. right now currently we still have this overturned tractor- trailer on the beltway. outer loop side right here at the exit for northbound i-270. it was carrying pineapples fully loaded with pineapples. some of it spilled out so they're going to wait through the rush hour before they can clear it up. luckily you can still get through. it's along the right side of the road there. let's take a look nearby if you're planning to head on 270. southbound you're not affected by the accident. you're okay coming through rockville and the point where the lanes divide. back to the maps. this time we're heading over to the inside of the beltway. no problems on 66 as you can see. 395 is running smoothly. no problems on 295 heading for the

temperatures for winchester, martinsburg, fredricksburg at 33. our temperatures are still in the 20's in detroit and pittsburg. wind chill factor not much of a problem in terms of storms, we have three that we're going to talk about here. just to the seth: -- south and west of us. even tornados in the deep south. all this moves through the day tomorrow. we're not looking for anything severe but that wintery mix will bring up a chance for snow and mixed with some sleet. the ground temperature is going to be or way too warm to allow anything to accumulate. we're not going to be seeing snowplows, nothing like that. doppler radar is quiet right now. that will change for the day tomorrow. here's our future cast. moving through the overnight hour, the clouds will move in from the west. our first batch of showers will arrive. south of d.c., towards the north and east, notice everything in green and yellow. that's rain. the bands in like blue and purple that indicates freezing rain, sleet and a little bit of a wintery mix as we move into the mid afternoo

south of town we have just over freezing. 34 in the fredricksburg area and only going into the mid- 40s. you'll want to bundle up and grab the sunglasses. it's 6:00 straight up. monika samtani talking pineapples and other issues. >> you're right. they've all been on major thoroughfares unfortunately this morning. i'll start off with the overturned truck we've been telling you about since early this morning. in fact, this happened right around 2:00 on the outer loop near i-270. i'm going to step out and show you what we're talking about. it's annual overturned truck -- an overturned truck that was carrying pineapples. crews are on the scene. i had a close-up look at it and they're offloading the truck as we speak. but they had to set up all the arrow boards and cones. we're showing you that delay. as traffic begins to increase, the volume will slow down as you travel westbound on the beltway trying to get to 270 and beyond. if you look to the right side of your screen, it's not affecting the exit to 27 on so you should be okay here. it's just going to be that delay. now to the northbound

culpeper 25. 33 for bill in newland, virginia in the northern neck and fredricksburg is at 30. we're only going to be in the low 40s. looks like we're fine this afternoon. a little wet at times -- i mean fine this morning, wet this afternoon and a wintry mix north and west but the roads will be too warm for anything but wet streets. let's check in with liz and looking pretty quiet out there. >> reporter: thank you. very, very quiet. we'll start with your ride on 95 through virginia. it's so much less volume filled than usual. 95 north looks good on the trip up from fredricksburg. no problems near occoquan. here we have the view of 395 right around duke street. you can see there's plenty of space between cars there so nothing to trip you up by getting in and out of alexandria making the ride into downtown. as we switch over to the maryland side of things, 270 could be a busier route as the day goes along. a lot of folks going to travel to and from christmas eve dinner. as you can see all things quiet on the montrose roadside. no problems in towards the beltway. that is your late

still in the mid-50s from fredricksburg over toward the southern maryland and lower eastern shore withid-40s now. in fact, low 40s cumberland and winchester. outside, though, nice looking, especially compared to yesterday. much higher sky. in fact, i was outside just a few minutes ago on the weather terrace. lots of stars showing up here. this is our michael & son weather camera with good visibility. mostly cloudy reported at national on the hour with a temp of 50 and very light winds. south, southwest at 3. that is going to change. cold air, a little bit of it coming toward bismarck at 20 this morning. but as lieu into canada -- as you look into canada and especially alaska, this is the heart of the arctic air. 45 below in north way. mcmillan pass 37 below. this we have to watch because this cold has been building. eventually it's going to come south. hopefully in little pieces. if it comes in a big piece we'll have some trouble. right now we're watching a little of it with snows m.c.i.d in the mountains. up in northern maine big ones. with the system passing away from us, we'll be qu

fredricksburg 62. original in the 40s in cumberland and 32 in oakland. we need it to be cold. we need the snow guns to get going in the ski areas so we can get skiing here. look at the wind gusts up to 29 mile an hour wind gust in frederick. gusting to 26 in gaithersburg and also in baltimore. we're gusting to 22. i think that will be the case for the afternoon with some of these gusts in that 25, maybe 30 mile an hour range. outside on the michael & son weather camera, sunshine. you're starting to notice a few clouds dotting the sky at this hour with the temperature of 61. national reporting mostly cloudy. it is a decent amount of sun still with the west wind sustained at 16. the dew point this morning was 47. now it's 41. drier air is moving in and some cooler air. slightly cooler now but much colder by friday through the weekend. notice temps up to 61 here. 60s and 70s down south. but we have lots of 20s in the rockies and the northern plains. that's just the tip of the proverbial iceberg if you will. when you go up to western canada and alaska, minus 40 at macmillan pass.

still 32 in fredricksburg and our warm spot at the patuxent naval air station 38. when you compare these temps to the temperatures 24 hours ago, we're down nearly 30 in gaithersburg, 31 in culpeper. it's 26 degrees colder in easton and 25 degrees colder in hagerstown. a very different air mass than yesterday and itself last couple of days for -- the last couple of days for that matter. we're looking at our michael & son weather camera. that's a pretty shot. a quiet morning with a temperature of 36. the air has dried out. dew points yesterday morning were in the upper 40s. this morning they are in the lower 20s. things have changed big time. cold front went through about 24 hours ago. the one thing i want you to notice, see the clouds moving west to east across the country? they're not diving that way. if they were diving that way, that would be a sign there's more cold air coming in and that it's going to last but it really isn't. the next system in the midwest with rain and a wintry mix on the northern end is going to turn winds around to the south and bring in so

mid-50s to fredricksburg and pax river naval air station. some of the colder air toward western maryland, cumberland now 43. 45 in winchester and 48 just to our north in gaithersburg. here's a look at our michael & son weather camera in tysons corner this morning. still some of the low clouds up there reflecting some of the city lights. temperature running at 53 officially at national airport with a west, southwest wind at 7 and the dew point 49. we're going to watch this number drop big time today as the drier air moves in and the winds turn to the west, northwest. the thing we haven't seen much of this year is cold. this tremendous cold in western canada. some of it is slipping in today into the northern rockies and northern plains. look at the 60s, 70s, even mid- 80s south texas and south florida. as we go to tomorrow, cold stays out west, especially west of the continental divide. highs in the teens in many of the areas in western colorado and western wyoming. we'll be in the 50s once again on wednesday. in fact, a nice looking wednesday

fredricksburg 29 to the south and west. 27 the winning number in gaithersburg.doubt bit, on the cool side to start your day. dulles 26 at this hour. we have seen temperatures bottom out. they should warm up to the upper 30s and low 40s. temperatures will be critical here as we have some precipitation on the move toward the washington area. that will get in later this afternoon. your morning hours will be fine. as we get into one, 2:00 this afternoon we will see it move in. timing is favorable to keep it generally liquid across the washington area. clouds will start your day. lots of clouds in the forecast. a cool one, no doubt about it with highs in the 30s and 40s. here is the storminess. area of low pressure will be to the west. we will be on the warm side of things. we are thinking generally this will be liquid for us. secondly not a whole lot with it. as it passes through, precipitation totals should be light. but, however, as it does arrive, there will be enough cold air particularly north and west of the city that the onset -- honestly for the entire area,

it's cold. 29 quantico. 29 fredricksburg. 23 manassas. 29 martinsburg and 40 in annapolis. 30 in leonardtownost of the area is at or below freezing. d.c., reagan national below the freezing mark. plenty of cold air in place. here comes the rain shower activity and storminess. it's not terribly organized. not a lot of moisture associated with it. the area of low pressure that is responsible will ride up to the west. that means we will see warmer air wash across the area. for those of you including myself that want to see snow for christmas eve, i'm afraid it won't happen this go around as the temperatures are just going to be too warm at the surface and as you climb up in the atmosphere, temperatures will warm into the upper 30s and 40s. now it is cold enough that particularly at the start by 1:00, 2:00 when the moisture moves in, temperatures will be marginally cold that we may see wintry mix north and west. not expecting travel issues as the precipitation will be light. but there is the possibility of a little bit of wintry mix north and west of town. notice how quickly it's moving. light m

accumulations of 1 to 2 inches are a possibility for areas like fredricksburg, cumberland in to oaklandvercast skies, yes. a lot of dampness and a slushy wintry mix through the 11:00 hours. through the afternoon, we transition to all rain. temperatures will be on the cool side out of the upper 30s to a high of about 40 degrees. then by 3:00 this afternoon, we will see a little sunshine. partial clearing although it will still remain brisk and overnight overcast skies will take over once again. here are the conditions at reagan national airport. we have 37 degrees with a mix of rain and snow. again changing over to all rain by the 12:00 hour. overall, though, it's very cool start to the morning. temperatures dropping below the freezing mark through the panhandle of west virginia and maryland. that's where we are seeing minor snow accumulation. 34 in leesburg with a mix of rain and snow. d.c. national at 37. fairly warm in southern maryland for the middle to upper 30s. in all it's feeling much closer to the freezing mark for most of us and temperatures are feeling like the 20s to the nort
