lauryn is here with that. what do you think? >> you know, we were seeing patches of it this morning, but secondary roads, parking lots, if you're headed out shopping, those definitely could be icy, so watch your footing as you head out, but man, this system was huge, from texas all the way up through the east coast. bob ryan who used to be the chief meteorologist here, some of his family still lives in the houston area and he was talking about his grandsons already making a little snowman. so, i'm sure kids from houston all the way up to atlanta got their fair share of snow, and so did we around here. we picked up 2 inches last night at reagan national airport. it's a good looking morning. we've got these clouds stuck in place, 35 degrees, so conditions are improving on the roadways, but again, still be careful when you head outside. we do have some windy conditions today. we do have some more snow on the way. we'll talk about that and sort it all out, coming up. >> all right, lauryn, thank you very much. >>> news4 traveled down

let's check in with lauryn. >> pretty nice out there. we have some sunshine and temperatures are rising right now. we're going to be a little warmer than we were yesterday. yesterday we made it into the low 50s. i think mid to possibly upper 50s definitely doable and some light rain earlier this morning. it was a chilly rain with temperatures in the 30s and 40s, but look at it now, absolutely gorgeous. now, some areas still experiencing a little bit of fog, but that will continue to lift. so, there was some of the rain that we got. it was having a tough time getting to the ground, and then it got a little more saturated, then some of that rain was obviously able to reach the ground. so a little soggy start this morning, but we are warming up. gradual warming trend before a big cooldown. we'll talk about that with the ten-day in about 15 minutes. >> lauryn, thank you very much. >>> the d.c. national guard is honoring the superior men and women who serve our country. and this morning, the guard is hosting its annual awards and decorations

we with an to get straight over to lauryn ricketts in the "weather center." what is in store for today? >> we have warming temperatures, clear skies out there. we do have a few changes to the forecast and we could see some rain showers out there today. but again, anything we do see going to be on the light side. let's take a look outside, that sun coming up just in about 20 34i7b clear skies and cooler conditions. temperatures will continue to move on up. we're not quite as cool as we were yesterday. yesterday we were in the teens and twernts. rig 20s. right now we're at 31. and temperatures will continue to move up, by 11:00, we'll be in the 40s. but we'll see an increase in the cloud cover. so again we're talking about a warming up trend, but then we cool down wednesday we're still tracking the holiday, we'll let you know what we can expect for that, that will be in about 12 minutes. >>> new this morning, part of rockville pike in rockville is closed after an accident turns deadly. police say the driver of this moped is dead after a hit and run crash late l

lauryn ricketts in the storm center with what to expect tomorrow with the huge change and a couple stormsehind it, too. >> yeah, a lot of storms. a couple lines of itty bitty storms coming our way, doug. it is certainly going to be a shock to the system for those folks tomorrow afternoon. tomorrow morning we're going to be fine. temperatures are going to rise to the upper 40s right around 50 before noon for tomorrow. then arctic frontal system will come through and then by tuesday afternoon, 6:00, temperatures may be in the 20s. wind chills tomorrow night will be in the teens and single digits. so, temperatures come crashing down after lunch time tomorrow. again, it is going to be blustery out there, but we will have some sunshine. and this leads into thursday. now, doug was just talking about a few system, few storms along the way. we have this one. so, this is tuesday night that we're watching this system originating out of manitoba, canada. that low area of pressure stays together. you heard of the alberta clippers. this is manitoba maller. where these low pressures originate in canada
