north, northwest of the district first of all, up around martinsburg and hagerstown, that's where wesome heavy snow bands for the last couple of hours. we are getting snow reports of up around 2 1/2 inches of snow. towards washington county, where we are getting 3 1/2 to 4 in snow reports in parts of west virginia, where that steadier snow has been going on. south of us, this is where we are looking at the possibility of heavy snow, changing over to areas of sleet. just called my brother down in woodbridge, and he says it is heavier snow. south of that, it is turning into sleet and that is making progress off to the north. that is going to be a big trick. we'll be following that very closely. we expect a mix in of sleet south and east of 95 through periods through tonight, where we get that sleet. we'll have a lot lesser snow amount. by the time we transition to all snow for everyone, as we bring a much colder air, that's where the heaviest snow is going to go. top. >> let's break down the timetable. for the next couple of minutes, 1 to 2 inches. overnight, 2 to 6 inches. the biggest

inches in leesburg, 3.8 inrockville, eight inches in cumberland, and we're looking at six inches in martinsburg, west virginia. it's beginning to mount up. this is what we call pre snow because the main event has yet to start. dangerous super storm. six to 12 inches. that's a broad range but that's the potential. probably see some lightning and hear some thunder tonight. don't freak out. it often happens with these types of dynamic systems. six to eight midnight to 6:00 a.m. then we see the storm pull away slowly. and it will pull away slowly, but in the morning maybe two to four, in the evening maybe an additional one to two. should taper off 6:00, 7:00, tomorrow evening. yes, it might snow or flurry until midnight, but in terms of accumulation no, more than a dufght after about 6:00 to 7:00. near blizzard conditions tonight, and that is something we cannot say enough. it's a question of visibility, and winds with blizzard warnings. all right. has to be a quarter mile less in visibility for three hours or longer, and also, it's not an "and/or." also have sustained gusts of 35 miles per hour or

annandale five inches and for viewers out in west viriginia, martinsburg five inches and of snow. cherry run, that's in morgan county, 13 inches of snow going on there. we have blizzard warnings to talk about. those are going to go on at 10:00 a.m. this morning east of here. anne arundel, baltimore, howard county and north in to frederick county and in to west virginia. 10:00 a.m. to 7 p.m., blizzard warnings in affect. the rest of us we are under a winter storm warning until 7:00. martinsburg, west virginia are the only county that watches us that is not included in the blizzard warning. >> also down 81, pretty much not in it except for washington county in maryland. we are looking at temperatures this morning. 20s to the north. still a couple of spots above the 30-degree mark. cambridge 34. saint indigos 37. and the winds are going to watch them. 25 cumberland. 29 winchester and gust in the mid-20s here in dc. we will see the winds increase a lot between now and 9:00. by 10:00 the blizzard warnings are in affect. we are dealing with winds at washington national at 16 sustained.

martinsburg, 4.8 so right in that range there of snowfall.emperatures around the region, our temperatures will be key today. they will move up, i think, into the low 40s which will allow for melting to go on. that will happen tomorrow as well. 32degrees in the district. baltimore, 30. temperatures in the 20s elsewhere. 19degrees in culpeper. here is ought-porn futurecast. this is a model run of what we expect to see during the next couple of days. it is quiet but then on friday, there is your storm system. friday afternoon it looks like the snow begins to move in. now, i want you to notice that there is some sleet with this. in fact, this is bringing in sleet early saturday morning. i am not see saying with absolute certainty at 5:00 a.m. saturday, we'll see sleet. keep in mind, if we see some sleet, th will keep the snow totals down. heavy rain to the south an east. places like ocean city could get mostly rain while washington d point north and wt get a significant snowfall from this system. high today, 41, tomorrow, 43 with sunshine. the sn

some spots like manassas freezing and same with martinsburg. but for the most part we are mild. 34 and a south wind. when the storm starts to crank, things will go to the northeast. with more on the storm and things you should know, here's meteorologist topper shutt. >> we always seem to sweat the big ones and everything is not perfect. for example the rain in fredericksburg we will watch that carefully. for example the flip side of the storm is in georgia. it has moisture as far as pennsylvania. look at doppler 9000. we have heavier bands to the west. just got a picture in from loudoun county and already has a couple of inches in loudoun county. this is by far and away the heaviest we can find. it is also, temperatures are just about freezing in much of upper loudoun county and not really sticking. so anywhere around upperville and middleburg and aldie and purcellville you are getting some good snows at this hour and going to get heavier awe we go through the afternoon and of course through the night. i want to emphasize again the real heavy a
