and only 28 in hagerstown. let's factor in the wind as they would have some winds as it feels like it is 10 in gaithersburg, 14 downtown and feels like it is 5 in hagerstown. the winds will be dying down, but not quickly enough. and dress for the single digits. so the winds will be diminishing tonight, but colder because of that. bus stop temperatures at 12. yeah, 12 to 25. those are not windchills, but straight temps. a nice end to the week though, i mean a little bit cold. a little below average, baa lot of sunshine -- but a lot of sunshine. and for the weekend you can do some planning, outdoor planning that it might be warm enough for them to ride their bike outside. certainly warm enough for the stroll on the canal and very mild temperatures that will be 50 on both saturday and sunday. all right now in the future cast tonight, we've got teens all over the board at 10:00. and then by early on in the morning, mid-teens across the board about 19 to 20 downtown. 9:00 still in the low to mid- 20s. by lunchtime t

i may run this band right through frederick, winchester, back up into hagerstown. couple comments on the facebook, why are you going 1 to 8 inches? unfortunately we cover such a wide area, you folks in southern maryland only get 1 to 3-inch, but you folks in cumberland will get -- 1 to 3 inches, but you folks in cumberland will get 4 to 8 inches. snow 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. hangs on longer north and west, thus the higher amounts. sleet and freezing rain 4 to 10 p.m., but a little longer north and west of town. roads will be a mess between noon and midnight. if you can get off the roads do, that. if you have plans tomorrow night you can move to tonight, i would do that. a general 1 to 6-inch band with icing north and west of town. here's futurecast. 9:00 just clouds. by noon tomorrow it's going to be snowing about everywhere in the metro area with temps in the 20s. 3:00 still snow across the immediate metro area. this is the mix, the magenta, we see now and that's the transition from snow to sleet and freezing rain. that will work its way northward going through evening

feels like 10 in hagerstown and feels like 14 in martinsburg and 22 at reagan national. those numbers will not warm up today a bit. that's where we'll head to on the thermometer tonight. winds will dive down abit. still breezy. there could be times that wind chills drop to the single numbers. satellite and radar shows cold front pushing through. most all of that is in the form of rain and we'll get a fair amount of sunshine for the afternoon hours as well. as far as what's coming next more cold air. we can see current temperatures 14 in pittsburgh detroit. 11 in chicago. that's pushing eastward as well. another cold day tomorrow. as the core of that high pressure moves out, we'll have another rapid warmup for the day on saturday. look at the numbers now. it's 25 degrees colder in pittsburgh than it was this time yesterday. same story in charleston. we're nine degrees colder at reagan national airport. cold winds will spill in and at least the winds will diminish a bit. by 5:00 this afternoon, 29 degrees. 22 by 11:00 and average wake-up temperature about 17 degrees tomorr

storm team 4 doppler radar showing everyone now is seeing the snow from baltimore, hagerstown down towards fredericksburg and leonardtown. as we've talked about in the last couple days everything that's falling is sticking immediately and there's a lot more of this storm so to go. we just started and we have a lot more snow back to the west. this will be an all-snow event. the type of rain snow or sleet, that is not an issue here. it's all going to be snow and that's what we continue to watch as we move through the rest of the night tonight. you can still see that making its way in. your headlines through tomorrow morning, everything sticks, the roads are covered in many areas already and if they're not in your area they most likely will be in the next couple hours nap will continue to pose significant delays moving through the region. one of the areas seeing snow the last couple hours is out towards reston. look at the live camera. accumulations along the sides of the roadways i think the main roads and main highways will be okay but all of the secondary roads will be big problems as we m
