it's 18 now at gaithersburg, it's 17 in hagerstown and 19 in frederick. the district has dropped to 24. i was thinking our low temperature tonight would be 20. it's possible we could go below 20 here in the district and that is quite unusual considering how warm we've been. speaking of those wind chill temperatures now down to 3 degrees in baltimore. it feels like 2 degrees in hagerstown. 6 at gaithersburg, 9 at dulles. 10 here in washington and also at annapolis. so really dramatic change. and by the way for the kids at the bus stop tomorrow morning, these are the air temperatures. 12 to 20 degrees. by the time they get picked up or dropped off after school, 30 to 35 with those wind chills again in the single digits. so protect yourself from this tomorrow morning at 7:00 a.m., feeling like 5:00 at dulles, gaithersburg 6, dc a little better by the noon hour. the wind will be better but they'll still be blustery in the morning but we do have 50s on the 7-day forecast. i'll let you know when they role back into town in just a few minutes. tony? >> we are on

it's 36 downtown, and it's 30 in gaithersburg, and 19 in frederick. temperatures are all over the place, clouds have come in. the areas that are clear have radiated, and they are much, much colder. don't let that fool you in your car you can have black ice. what is it? the road looks wet, but it's actually frozen. a sheet of ice, and that's what we have to be careful of. walking and driving as well. let's talk about the future cast tomorrow morning, some areas at 5:30 or 6:00 will be at the freezing mark, and there will be some black ice here and there, patchy black ice. 33 in gaithersburg, and 32 in frederick, and 31 at hagerstown. it's not going to be bitterly cold tonight. we will advance the futurecast again. 10:00, we are making progress. 37 downtown, and 36 in bowie, and 36 also in fairfax, and by lunchtime, up to 40 in the beltway, and 40 for leesburg. we will come back with showers on the doorstep. we will track those through the afternoon, and we will let you know if the chatter in the social media has any meat to it about the storm on friday

the heavier bands are above and below gaithersburg. heavy snow south of 50 in southern half of fairfax county. heavy snow through all parts of the district right now. the area of low pressure that's driving this storm is still the upper level low. this will not start to wind down until the upper level low finally goes off the coast and moves on out to sea. with the low sitting back here, imagine you get an ore and dig it as hard as you can along the side of the canoe. you spin up the whirlpools. that's what's going on. this area of low pressure is essentially digging down into the atmosphere. it's these curly qs that come up, these smaller areas of intense low pressure. that's what's going on. as it digs in, i throws moisture off the boy and back into us. the air is way below freezing. this is all powder across parts of northern maryland. it's a heavier, wetter snow. do know that the power outages are more likely to take place east of i-95 towards the bay. because the winds are stronger % and the snow is heavier and wetter. so planning

but 27 already in gaithersburg. 26 in hagerstown. and 30 in manassas. 29 in dale city. here is the wind. these are gusts. gusting to 35 miles an hour in manassas, and still gusting to 26 downtown. so yes, that does compute to a wind chill. and it feels like it is 19 downtown. and it feels like 19 in gaithersburg. and it feels like it is 17 in manassas. only 21 in waldorf. so the winds are going to be a little bit of a factor tonight. so coldest so far, and our lows in the teens tonight. bus stop temperatures, 12 to 26. and those are actual temperatures, and cold tomorrow. but with light winds. and that is actually a good thing. and still dry, and a little bit milder by thursday. so future cast, tonight, 10:00, we want to walk the dog and you will be finding temperatures in the 20s. and the wind chills are in the teens tonight at about 10:00. keep that in mind. by morning, 18 in gaithersburg. 18 in fairfax. and look at this. 17 in fredericksburg. and la plata. by 9:00, in the low 20s. by lunchtime, we are only about 30. that's with full sun. again, good news, lighter win

we saw some sidewalks in gaithersburg cleared. but then you look on the other side of the driveway, and snow covers the remaining sidewalk. on the local access road on 270, we saw some snow removal equipment blowing away the snow. >> yeah, it's pretty bad. it's dangerous. you don't want to be driving out there in this. it's not something you want to be out in. i mean, i don't know how other people feel. but to me it's pretty dangerous. >> you're now looking at a live picture of this road here in bethesda. as you can see, snow son both sides of it. you have to be very careful when you're driving through here. keep in mind it is one lane. you could be coming to a stop sign like this one right here. all of the sudden another driver could be there and you have to be polite, patient and move out of the way. local leaders are still saying not to go out unless you have to. the best thing to do is to give crews time to clear the streets. live here in storm team four-by-four, i'm shomari stone. back to you in the studio, guys. >> thanks, s

already down to 28 in gaithersburg. 27 in manassas.e already seeing some refreezing so watch yourself walking, driving, no matter what you're going to be doing. nothing on the radar to show you. walking tomorrow, still tough. we have you in the yellow. snow and ice covered roads, they are out there. the major roads, they're looking okay, but the secondary roads not good at all. flying getting much better. starting to see things trying to get back to normal. 33 tomorrow as i said. a little slick. some shower activity tomorrow. some light showers are possible. it would fall in the form of rain as temperatures get into the mid-40s. temperature 45 the 3:00. 41 by 7:00. that will help with melting. heads up for some tag here, too. fog is going to help with the melting process. 40 degrees on your wednesday. 37 on thursday. 39 on friday. so each day above freezing. we do get rather cold though thursday and friday night. many areas in the teens. same deal on friday. and then look at the mild air coming in. 44 on saturday. 48 on sunday. 55 on m

gaithersburg, leesburg, even in d.c. rain changing to snow. up to the north as well.ld see some of that snow coming through here. right around 5:00, 6:00. so it will coincide with the evening rush. again, not worried about accumulation on the road. but it could come down at a pretty good click. that will at least slow the roadways down a little bit. give yourself extra time. by 9:00, it's all out of here. where may we see problems on the road? well, the primary roads are no problem. 70, 81. no worry there's. but it may be the secondary records towards martinsburg, hagerstown, maybe around frederick, especially some of the higher elevations. heads-up there for at least a coating across the area. 5:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m., no worries. 4:00 to 7:00, that's when the snowshowers start to move in. that's when we could start to see some of those issues as we move on through the rest of the day. temperatures behind this system much, much colder. wednesday is one cold day. 30 degrees for a high temperature. but the windchill is going to be a major factor here. windchill between 5

that's the same at quantico, 39 at gaithersburg. a cool 29 degrees at baltimore while frederick is at 28. 33 at martinsburg and 41 degrees at culpeper. satellite radar showing you skies are fairly clear, we'll have a few high clouds, not too much to be concerned with. could see some fog developing overnight and in the early morning hours because as the warmer air starts to move in, we've got the snow pack in place and that could end up creating some fog, just a bit of patchy fog in nature. here's a look at what's going o that jet stream to the south of us is going to rise to the north and that's a good sign for temperatures. because e oh, look at that. things just whizzed right by. anyway, i know my story. 50 to 60 degrees tomorrow is our temperatures. warmer air moving in, becoming unseasonably warm and a little chilly tonight but not quite as cold as it was last night. we were only in the 20s last night. i'll let you know what the week is going to be like with that 7-day forecast. >> gwen, the story we are unseasonably warm. >>> w

8 gaithersburg. 14 manassas. 11 camp springs. extreme cold in place right now. the next couple of days will continue to be on the cold side and that sets the stage for the snowstorm coming up on friday with a lit bit more on that, veronica has it. >> we try to put it into context for you, of course. the models, guidance we look at has been all over the place. where there's been a lot of snow in some areas on the map. so take a look. we think we've done a pretty good job here. some of the maps you've probably seen have a paralyzing storm for some locations. okay? so the way it's looking right now with the guidance that changes, this will be more than just an inconvenient event for us. more like a problematic event where we're going to have to deal with making some changes to our schedules, probably even seeing cancelations and certainly roads covered with snow for maybe a day or two. the other thing, what to expect, it's looking like this will be not all day friday, or even midday friday, but late friday through a good part of your saturday. most of friday could

gaithersburg, leesburg as well.. i spoke to maryland's highway administration, they said if it's above 25, they can just go with the salt. so when you've got the sunshine as we had today, that's always a plus, but even if you've got temperatures that are 40 degrees or higher for three days or longer, you can melt about 2 or 3 inches of snow a day. of course, the other considerations, fog, which we're going to have quite a bit of coming up over the next couple of 24 hours. we're going to give you the time line on that in a few moments. doug? >> so we're looking at 2 to 3 inches a day. let's go 2 1/2 inches times 36 inches that some of us had. we're still looking at close to two feet, guys. >> but there's that fog we're all hoping for, you know. >> the fog would help. >> we learned about fog and snow melt. thanks, doug. >> reporter: and, yes, we're talking about a lot of snow. i'm mark segraves and i will show you where they're going to put it all. >> reporter: the pat collins snow stick challenge. meet the judges. che

we'll say 24-plus, 18 to 24 gaithersburg. over to bowie. and also inside the beltway. down 95 into prince william county. that' one of the stronger bands i have drawn in a while. more difficult than the blizzard of '96 or 2003. because we are going to get a mix down here eventually you're looking at 3 to 6 extreme southern saint mary's county this area right here. and then down into the northern neck, other than that you're looking at 6 to 12 and then 12 to 18 just south of la plata. la plata north i think you're in the bull's eye, well, almost the bull's eye. 18 to 24. okay. try to -- winds are going to pick up after midnight. they are going to be manageable until after midnight. 8 to 14 inches overnight with thundersnow. 6 to 12 inches saturday, heavy stuff should be over by 6 p.m. may snow until 9 or 10:00 tomorrow night. that's kind of insult to injury really. 30" amounts are possible, yes. and winds could gust 30 to 45 miles per hour. power outages are possible. let's hope not likely but possible. so shovel frequently. that's a question coming in a lot on our phon

we've got 32 degrees at dc, 27 at gaithersburg p 30 at frederick this hour, 24 degrees at hagerstown, 30 at winchester and 24 degrees at culpeper. so you can see some of our neighborhoods have already dipped below the freezing mark. now, overnight tonight, overall temperatures are anticipated to be into the 20s. we'll have a few teens as well especially to the far north and to the far northwest. so icy spots are going to be an issue. if you're heading out late tonight maybe for some partying or early in the morning, you're going to have to pay close attention and be careful. ridge of high pressure in control tonight we're talking mainly clear skies it will be a cold one. we've had some strong winds today and some of those are starting to die down but they are still gusty in some areas and are causing some wind chills. so it actually feels like it's a lot colder than outside. 25 degrees for tonight, mostly clear and cold. refreeze is what we're talking about. be careful out there. it's going to warm up and we've got more sunshine and more snow melt ahead. i'll let you know in a bit jus

right now, 12 in gaithersburg. 19 in annapolis. 14 in winchester and front royal. as you plan to send the kiddos out to the bus stop, temperatures in the teens, windchills down near zero this morning. coming home from welcome and school later today, temperatures in the low 30s. we'll have plenty of sunshine. the current windchill is 4 in gaithersburg. zero, the windchill in martinsburg. six in culpepper. a lot of cold out there this morning. you'll need your heavy coats, earmuffs, hats, gloves, woolly socks, anything you can do. high temperatures only up to the low and mid-30s. traveling conditions, at least sunny, sunshine delays will be about all you are to worry about from the weather department. driving within 500 miles, dry. if you're traveling by plane, delays on the west coast. windy and cold today. tomorrow, also cold but less windy. so start off tomorrow morning upper teens and low 20s, but without the windchills around. that will make it feel much nicer. dry the next couple of days. unfortunately just as we get closer and closer to the weekend, rain chanc

windchill of 17 over toward gaithersburg and urbana and 14 art martinsburg and shepherdstown and a very cold night tonight, too, and it will continue to be a cold night. waking up tomorrow morning and you know you will be on the cold side and a milder weather will return before another arctic blast moves in and this one next week will be even colder. i've got the forecast coming up. >> thanks, doug. >>> lots of reaction tonight to president obama's final state of the union address last night. the speech ended with a message of optimism about the years ahead, but the president also took the opportunity to take a shot at republican critics such as donald trump. >> all of the talk of american economic decline is political hot air. >> so evolved the rhetoric about the enemies getting stronger and america getting weaker. let me tell you something. the united states of america is the most powerful nation on earth. period. >> as he did -- south carolina's governor, nikki haley delivered the republican response and some of her criticism was aimed within her own party at donald trump, for exampl

gaithersburg at 39 this hour while dulles is at 41. but here's where you can see that line of that cooler air. 32 at cumberland, 36 at hagerstown and that's the area that will stay prch under the gun for cold conditions over the this weekend. we have this low pressure system moving in, this pretty strong stream of moisture going to set us up for heavier rainfall saturday night. as this system approaches, between the two of them is what we call a tight pressure gradient and all that really means is gusty winds. those winds will pick up by sunday and then we'll see some wind chills and we're going to see this rain gradually taper off just in time for that game. overnight tonight with the rain and drizzle we're talking 40 degrees for dc, temperatures into the low 40s and upper 30s pretty much everywhere. and for tomorrow heading out, keep the umbrella handy. by midday 48 degrees and i just can't rule out the showers continuing popping up here and there throughout the day. be aware of that. but for that game we are going to see improvement

alison: christopher bartley pled guilty to the incident in gaithersburg. tom roussey is live with the top story. alison, tonight, christopher bartley through t ears said he was a good man who had made a mistake. the judge compared him unfavorably with the character walter white on the tv show " breaking bad." tonight, 41-year-old christopher bartley walked out of a federal courthouse a free man, but in march you will begin a nearly 3.5 year prison sentence. >> last chance before what? tom: before prison. if you want to say anything to the public. saturday night last july, his atempt to make meth on federal campus in gaithersburg literally blew up in his face. he admits that he lied at first. tonight, the judge said he is still lying. the officer still insists he was doing a secret police training exercise. >> there was no indication he had ever used the options. he was seeking to make it to try it for the first time or it was a legitimate training program. >> the judge said the story was doubtful. attorney said the 41-month sentence is just. he exposed oth

outside, temperatures this morning, teens in the shenandoah valley. 16, martinsburg, 18 in gaithersburg, 26 in washington and capitol heights. lots of waves on the potomac. windchills are back down way low. below zero in martinsburg, zero in hagerstown. one above. and metro chills are in the single digits around 10 or 12. you may want to consider taking the day off. temperatures aren't all that crazy low but with the wind out there, it's really not exactly the best day to be outside. afternoon highs today, not much improvement. not only will the tells barely budge but the wind isn't going anywhere and the cold as well. have a little chance of flurries coming our way late wednesday night. all eyes are turning toward the weekend. friday, friday night into saturday, our first chance of snow around here in quite some time. today, windy and cold. cold overnight. more wind and cold during the day tomorrow. you get the idea this pattern isn't going to change any time soon. here's 8:00 wednesday night. mostly cloudy skies and a chance for light snow coming into the area late wednesday night. no

by 7:00, already down to 30 in gaithersburg. 32 in manassas.g to see that refreeze even as early as 7:00. that's just an hour and a half away. and then by wednesday, by tonight around 10:00, look at the numbers. look how fast we fall. 15 in martinsburg, 22 in gaithersburg. 28 in d.c. by early tomorrow most areas in the teens. that's why we're so concerned about this ice overnight into early tomorrow morning. i think tomorrow morning's rush is going to be a big problem. know that when you step out. even around noon tomorrow just getting above the freezing mark. so it's going to take some time to break out of the ice tomorrow morning. so this evening, freeze happens very quick. i have got you in the yellow right now. so if you've got something to do in the next one to two hours, i think you're okay but get back by 8:00 or 9:00. dangerously slick tomorrow morning. it will really be a big issue. we're not playing this up. i really worry about tomorrow morning's rush. friday's a.m., subfreezing and icy again on friday, maybe a little bit less of an

it will feel like zero in gaithersburg and 1 below in martinsburg. by 1 below, it feels like zero to 10 blow. and maybe as cold as 7 below in martinsburg and zero in la plata, one degree wind chill in fredericksburg. and by noon, not much better. a little bit better. the plus side of zero. and now it feels like the upper single digits to low teens. maybe 11 in manassas and 10 in silver spring. a beauty cold day. clear sky, breezy, very cold, and temperatures, wind chills below zero and lows in the teens. day planner looks like this. remember, these are downtown temperatures. and the start. 21 at 11:00, and 24 at 1:00 p.m. full sun, yes. and some kind of cold. and breezy winds all day tomorrow. the next three days, clouds come at us wednesday. flakes wednesday night. not a huge deal. and kind of a harbinger of what may be in our future. pretty quiet on thursday. highs near 40. it is almost seasonable. calm before the storm so to speak. next search day, snowy and rain. and 34. and snow on friday. 32. and not a pure snow. probably a mix or change into r

first off the wind gusts across our regions, those wind gusts 29 in gaithersburg, 30 in leesburg, 31 in camp springs. a lot of wind continuing to go on. that creates those windchills. wind chills right now into the teens and single digits. 8 currently in gaithersburg. 15 in d.c. 17 in fredericksburg. 15 in leesburg. again, a very, very cold evening tonight. temperatures dropping into the low teens in most locations. another cold start tomorrow. and then all eyes turn to what we're going to be seeing coming up later on on friday. veroni veronica, we continue to look at this. still a lot of things to go through as we move through the next couple days. a lot of questions out there. we're continuing to hone in on this forecast. >> reporter: indeed, the timing changing a bit when we could see the first flakes. the other thing you might say we're trying to do is put this storm system into context for you, how large of a storm is it going to be and how many days could we be dealing with it? take a look from conversational, we talked about a few snow flurries or light snow showers around the

a plow got stuck earlier today while trying to clear a street in gaithersburg. >> just look at this video behind us here it's crazy. and one neighborhood resident's are uncertain about exactly who is responsible for clearing their roads even. ronica cleary is live with the story? silver spring tonight. >> reporter: yes, i am live. i'm in the fairland green community in silver spring. right now a bobcat is coming through this side street. this is a wild story. the reason we came down here today is there was some major confusion for these residents. basically the situation was that the main street they live on needed to be plowed by the county and then this back cul de sac needed to be plowed by a private contractor basically run by the homeowners association. the incredible thing is if you look at these streets, they look like they've been plowed but they haven't. the community has come out together, now they did get the help of a snow blower, but look at what they have done. they have been here all day since we got here. this did not look like this just a few hours ago. i don't know if th

the light snow failing around d.c., gaithersburg, fairfax, down toward quantico. hour or so. but 36 hours of snow and a whole bunch of days to clean up. there's ocean city. of course mar gate area. atlantic city. down south of avalon where they really had the massive coastal flooding take place. you can see it's even snowing now up around new york and areas of long island. for us tomorrow, the snow is over. we get sunshine in here, but it's going to be blowing snow that we're going to have to deal with. we're going to have very little melting, so the weather will have a high impact. let me take you hour by hour and show you the future. of course we didn't have the high winds but it's still going to be breezy tomorrow. that's 20 to 25-mile-per-hour gusts for the early part of your day. we really settle down fast, those winds by the afternoon hours with highs getting up to around 30 to 31 degrees. maybe just at culpeper down to the south. with those wind chill temperatures going from dangerous levels to bone-chilling by midday. it's going to feel like we're around 0

the wind chill not even going to be a message here. 16 degrees in gaithersburg, 14 at culpeper, 18 in fredericksburg and 18 in huntington. we will drop a little tonight. not a whole lot more. temperatures a little bit warmer than tomorrow. it won't feel warmer. we're still in the teens early tomorrow morning. showing clear skies across our region. no rain and no snow. that's the way it was almost the entire east coast from richmond and d.c. and philadelphia and boston. look what happened toward the hampton roads area, norfolk down towards the cape. look at these streamers of snow. this was chesapeake bay lake effect snow bands coming right off the chose peek bay, ocean affects bands, too. the first one was out of the hampton roads area and did produce a dusting of snow in their area earlier this morning. towards the cape and outer banks, they, too, this is what they woke up to. it was cold enough it stuck on the roads and did cause some travel problems. don't see a lot of snow down there and don't see it very often like this. you have to have just that right amount of northerly compon

gaithersburg i showed you 10 minutes ago, down 19, now up to 21, 23, manassas, 24 in fredericksburg. temperatures won't go down all that much more tonight. we have a little bit more in the way of cloud cover and changing wind direction. look at this. radar shows snow to the south. that's not actually falling, our storm system back to our west. it's trying to bring snow our way but too dry in our atmosphere. what it will do is pass by to the north of us as a warm front. behind it we will see a return flow from the south and means warmer temperatures tomorrow. we may get down to the upper teens and 25 in the city. a cold start to the day. with that return flow out of the south, we get back to the 40s. 43, gaithersburg and fredericksburg, 48. i think we see plenty of sunshine in the afternoon. a pretty nice arch. you will need the coats early but not with the sun. ski forecast. haven't shown this much at all this season. a little slushy and icy by saturday, breezy afternoon. just flurries really. sunday the best day to go skiing. here's where the cold comes back. monday, mlk day, windy

as we head into the afternoon hours, it doesn't get berth. 2:00 feeling only about 24 in gaithersburg. look how cold it will feel during the evening hours. feeling about 27 in culpeper. by 10:00 p.m., just about everybody feeling temperatures are in the teens. if you have dinner plans tomorrow, plan for bustery conditions. temperatures in the 20s and 30s. we'll be dealing with another refreeze. in about 10 minutes, a look at the next seven days and talking about when we'll see the majority of this snow melting across the area. we'll continue to track refreeze conditions on into the weekend. melting during the day. freezing at night. a lot of the snow will be melted by monday and tuesday. wait until you see temperatures those days. our next chance of rain comes next wednesday. >>> the iowa caucuses are just four days away. the last big event before they begin comes tonight. we are waiting to see whether donald trump's absence in iowa will impact him there he has a problem with fox news. moderate oor megyn kelly, in p particular. there's been a change in the polls. donald trump is ahead
