in northern culpeper county back out towards prince william county and manassas, this could be just a little bit of mix there that eventually could come across the city. it won't be unheard of to hear the tick, tick of sleet or wet snow mixed in. in terms of our temperatures now it's still mostly lower 40s and upper 30s. we'll switch over now to true view, slightly larger picture. you can see all this in motion coming up from the southwest. the majority of this rain is down to the south and it looks like the heaviest will be kind of moving on off to the east of us. area of low pressure is getting a little bit stronger as it rolls up the coast here. now we're not going to get substantial snow from this, but farther north and west you can see the snow. that will intensify tonight and tomorrow and it looks now like just north of the big city along i-95 -- just west, pardon me, of the big cities up to the north of us, philly up to new york back out to the west of that they'll pick up some good snow and up into new england they'll pick up some good snow, too. here's your three-day forecast

if you recognize this man, manassas city police want to hear from you. >>> now the latest developments in libya. rebel forces are reportedly trying to work out a negotiated settlement after being forced to retreat for most of the week. while gadhafi's government has seen defections, it's unclear if both sides are fighting to a draw. tom fitzgerald is live with the latest. >> it's not been a good week for the opposition. they spent much of this week on the run. each time they tried to push west, they have been forced to retreat. today, the leader of the libyan opposition council said that the rebels would agree to a cease fire under the following conditions. first, gadhafi forces would have to surrender and lead areas surrounding rebel held cities and the protests against the government in libya would have to be allowed to continue. now the terms also interestingly appear to the possibility that gadhafi himself could stay in libya, although the opposition leader says it's their goal that he no longer holds on to power. here in washington as you may expect, after launching air strikes ba

rain still through the d.c., manassas and down through fredericksburg. and then by 10:00, we start to clear things out. still some precip to the north. but then we'll see kind of cloudy conditions, maybe some scattered conditions in the afternoon. by 5:00, we'll probably see a little bit of clearing in some locations and then probably see drier conditions. but the winds also picking up tonight. highs for today, generally low 50s. we should be around 60 this time of year. we're trying to get there as far as the average highs are concerned, the seven-day forecast. lows tonight in the mid-30s. plans to have dinner, you definitely need a good coat. breezy. saturday, another chance for rain or snow. nats are playing this weekend. we finally dry up by sunday. we're warmer in the mid-70s. but then, of course with the warm weather, we're talking about the chance for showers and thunderstorms especially on tuesday. get ready for that stormy one. here's angie with traffic. good morning, angie. >> thank you, anny. good morning to you and to everybody joining us ear

air force base in manassas. we all know the brands for the miners base constitutes an important source of income for carriers down the hall that this scandal let me remind you broke out when it was discovered that russia supplied the aircraft fuel from its refinery at discount prices where the fuel was then sold to the us air force at full price profits were made. russia then decided to adjust the price. is that true and how did the price adjustment effect carolus down. with that well actually these shipments were used by the families of both presidents and their enrichment schemes the president archives family was involved in the first one president bakiev family and the other. son not seen by keef was clearly involved in. russian aircraft fuel. wreaks quarter ticket us human. it's to russia's move to introduce asked for duty for all time so fuels and luxury comes cheap to kyrgyzstan since the latest april but was only natural. if they did they get. hit you hard it cost us more than two hundred million dollars

manassas, it feels like 32 and you start getting further to the south.the temperatures were warmer. all across the northeast, it's cool. buffalo 39. chicago is 41. there's a trough of low pressure, but look at all the heat down to the south into the southwest. del rio, texas, 93. there's a lot of heat into mexico and some of that is coming up. the reason i mention that is because this time of year, it doesn't take much to go from cool temperatures to warm temperatures. especially when we find a lot of heat down here and there's a big ridge of high pressure. that's why it's hot out there in the desert southwest, even southern la. southern california is very warm right now. temperatures in the 90s. we had this trough of low pressure here. but eventually, this high pressure moves over and it's going to be sunday into monday and coming up on the five-day forecast, i think you'll find some temperatures that maybe you'll agree with. 52 tomorrow. not necessarily a whole lot better tomorrow. a little bit more sunshine than what we had today. that will help warm

this is a live shot of traffic coming inbound along 66 as you work your way out of manassas headed in toward centreville. a slow go now leaving business 234 head the past the virginia visitors center. the beltway interloop at speed. annandale to merrifield. here is a live shot southbound 270 out of hyattstown. incident-free, wipers working overtime this morning. got a lot of road spray kicking up in your face. allow extra time out there on the roads. lanes are open right now. no problems to report northeast to northwest but make note, after 9:00 this morning, they are scheduled to do some work leaving ninth treat head the out towards the tunnel blocking the right lane. that is scheduled to begin after 9:00 a.m. this morning. that's a check of your fox 5 on-time traffic. >>> now, tax a listen to this as proof that you should always mind your manners. someone could have lost out on the $319 megamillions jackpot because they cut in line and didn't wait their turn. mike barth bought the win being tick the. he said right before he bought it, somebody cut in line in front of him to buy thei

upwards of 30 miles per hour in frederick, manassas, la plata, waldorf leonardtown, hunting town, a very windy afternoon, as well. so much more of a winter day than spring day. and that's not going to be changing very quickly. look at this storm system. here's the big storm up toward the north and west. or north and east of us. but there's another storm dropping through the ohio valley that's going to make its way through our area. you can see the snow toward the west right along the allegheny front and then more rain down south and west. so we could see some of that come in through the area overnight tonight. so expect a few showers, a few sprinkles overnight and into the day tomorrow, as well. tomorrow i think you'll need to take the umbrella with you, no matter where you go, as this area of low pressure slides through the region during the day tomorrow. another very chilly start to the day tomorrow. some areas temperatures around freezing. but i think we'll warm up into the low 50s during the day tomorrow. at least during the afternoon. as that area of low pressure slides by. a couple

the washington journal in this battle near manassas junction, the enemy forced to retire, three masked batteries taken, desperate conflict by telegraph. the secretly funneled prematurely, they filed so early that they couldn't handle it. cspan: how long would take -- let's say that "the new york times" or the herald or one of the papers would publish an article was written near a battle. how long would it take for the general on the scene to get the report back? >> guest: i would very i think. some of them probably wouldn't see the newspaper report until a couple of days later probably. but they read the papers. they were very serious about reading them. particularly they were very concerned about their own reputation and there were also concerned about the papers providing information the would be useful to the other side of course. cspan: another perrty site here, "george welford townsend was the only war correspondent who seemed to understand there was money to be made on the circuit, a source of an astonishing amount of cash for a number of modern day celebrity journalists ." is th

rebecca hayes, a history professor at manassas. my question is are you encouraged to she more of the bipartisanship like the gang of six that's formed recently, addressing the various concerns you've mentioned, you think we'll see more of that or do you think you'll try and stay behind it. >> well, i am encouraged that over the last four or five months we've been able to strike some deals between democrats and republicans that a lot of people didn't expect us to be able to do. you know, our conflicts and disagreements tend to get more attention than our agreements. and the easiest way to be on tv is to call somebody a name. [laughter] >> all right. if you say something mean about somebody, that will get you on tv. if you say something nice about somebody, you figure that's boring, i'm not interested. so i think that there is a huge opportunity for us to be able to work together, particularly on this deficit issue. as i said, we now agree that it's a problem. everybody agrees it's a problem. everybody agrees about how much we have t

scott, republican from manassas, virginia, good morning.hat you think about the risk of a government shutdown? caller: i feel the government has done a poor job of coming up with a budget six months into the year. i feel they really need to get organized, roll up their sleeves, and really get to work. they are so busy entering back- and-forth, nothing is getting done. i feel that the government does shut down, we might get used to the concept and fire them. host: how important is the number in this first round? caller: i believe we are in financial trouble. we need to cut across the board and study the programs. however, some called needs to be made and start off. we are six months into the year. whether budget they come up with, we will see how works for six months. host: thank you. let's show two tweets. host: houston, pat, independent, what do you think? caller: i thank their work -- -- i read -- i believe the democrats should not compromise with republicans. they are the ones that spend the money. democrats hold 2/3 of the government an
