only 8 out across martinsburg, west virginia. 20 in quantico and stafford.y 7:00 a.m., teens and 20s. by 11:00, most everybody getting close to or above the freezing mark. afternoon highs, upper 30s to near 40 degrees. 36 in hagerstown, 43 in cull per culpeper. after 7:00 this evening, some of the pockets could start going back down below breezing. so th freezing. so that's the time frame to watch out for. and another icy start tomorrow morning, but temperatures not quite this cold meaning road chemicals will be more effective. so 30s today and tomorrow, mid-40s saturday. 50 on sunday. 58 monday. and 60 degrees on tuesday. rain showers, and it will be rain, 62 on wednesday. but as i mentioned, that will be potholepalooza next week. >> a lot of thawing happening then. 66, the ramp to the inner loop, again a car spun around. about a 2 mile backup headed inbound on 66 trying to get on the inner loop. going just about 12 miles per hour there. once they get out of the way, volume generally pretty light right now. 395 northbound, express lanes approaching edsall r

we've got 33 degrees at martinsburg, 39 at hagerstown and 43 at winchester. the ridge of high pressure is going to skirt its way out and open up the door for us to get that southerly air. tonight we'll see a gradual increase in that warmer air. fairly clear skies for tonight but still a little bit on the cold and chilly side. you're overnight lows, low 30s. i wouldn't be surprised if we saw some upper 20s to our far northwest. but generally we are talking low 30s across the board for just about everywhere. so as that jet stream moves to the north, this colder air finally will start to retreat. and we are going to get a really nice flow that's going to bring us into the 50s and 60s for daytime highs. so we're going to be at least some 10 to 20 degrees above the seasonal average once we get into the next couple of days. so i'm sure there's not going to be too many complaints about that. so we're talking temperatures about 57 degrees in dc and quantico. areas of southern maryland, they could see temperatures more into the low 60s. so don't be surprised if you sa

only 1 in martinsburg. highs in the upper 20s to around 30 degrees. it will be dry for today and for tomorrow. as i mentioned a few minutes ago, rain chances coming back into the picture on your friday. the next big change arrives just in time for your friday night plans. dry friday at 3:00 near 50. moderate rain by 9:00 friday night. showers lingering into the first part of the day on saturday. the rest of the weekend looking a little better. more of that coming up at 5:21. here's traffic time. here's kim mccormick. >> thanks, chuck. >>> on the inner loop after new hampshire ave., two right lanes getting by. apparently an overturned vehicle off the shoulder. all of the emergency equipment blocking the two left lanes. be careful as you're headed out from silver springs towards college park. staying with 267 down towards the beltway. coming in bound on route 50, everything looks good towards the beltway. same with inside the beltway on 50 and on 95 southbound moving from columbia down through savage and laurel and college park. moving along quite nicel

martinsburg, with older readings there, but in the 20s. that may still be there but it's going to be a good afternoon for most of us, national, 34. still very dry. this was a sign of that arctic air that is on torch us but that's going to start to pull away here as you watch that dew point come up. the cold stuff in new england, new york state, sub zero temperatures there. atlanta 39. plenty of cold air. it's not like the warm air is going to rush back here. going to be a process over a few days where we do warm up. right now, though, high pressure in control. that's giving us the nice, sunny skies. clouds and showers off the atlantic will get closer to us, at least the clouds will. and this storm out to the west, i don't think we'll feel that. maybe a shower late friday but a better chance saturday night into sunday morning. high pressure will be pulling off to the efficient allowing some clouds in here towards morning. tomorrow ends up being a mostly cloudy to partly cloudy day. low 40s tomorrow. with the onshore flow, keeping it chilly.

gusting almost to 40 miles an hour in martinsburg and 30 in gaithersburg. and 37 at joint base andrews. expect a windy afternoon. a passing flurry. and temperatures now are in the 30s. and a couple of low 40s. but the wind chills are really starting to drop off. feeling like it is in the 20s now. so if you do have to go out, consider the cold weather we will have for the afternoon. when i come back, with that seven-day forecast, in about 15 minutes, mike, i got 50s, even a 60 or two, on that, we will break that down for you, when i see you then. >> it helps with the melt. thank you, howard. >>> top story now, a jaw dropping scene in prince george's county this morning. water shooting out of the ground, in mitchellville road and bowie, all because this water main ruptured at about 5:30 this morning. and we have more on the cleanup. >> reporter: this is a 24-inch water main break. it is off of mitchellville road and crews have really had a hard time finding the proper valve to turn this off. some people say they hope it is much sooner than later. >> mitchellv

freezing rain advisory for hagerstown and martinsburg. and now moving through frederick and carroll counties. weather service has not seen the need to expand the freezing rain advisory yet. if they do, we'll make sure that we put it out on our platforms. so have your app ready to go this morning. a wave of moisture this eastern ohio is our rain chance late this afternoon and in to the evening. ice around this morning. temperatures will be well above freezing today, so that will turn things in to a slushier mess for the afternoon and then late tonight and early tomorrow, light rain tonight could end as just a little glazing. here it is on future weather, here comes the rain chances 4:00 today, and this isn't heavy rain, just occasional light rain showers coming through. 7:00 probably the most likely time to get a little light rain here in the washington area. by 10:00, 11:00 tonight town into charles and st. mary's county and then it all pulls out after that. so we're watching carefully for this little glazing possibility moving in late to

everybody above the freezing mark. 41 martinsburg. we have snow coming around in and around the frederick area. here's another batch of snow that's going to come through. tom kierein called me earlier saying he's sneeing know, montgomery county. this is the next area that will move into loudoun county and frederick county. frederick, snow, loudoun will start off as rain and switch over to snow. these showers will last 10, 15 minutes at the most then they're out of here but they could be fairly heavy. that's what we've seen with this band right here. look at this line of showers. this is a line of snow showers if not snow squalls where the snow has come down extremely heavy, even some lightning associated with these. you know they mean business making their way our way. if they hold together over the mountains, we could be seeing those around the 6:00 hour. that's what future weather has, too. here's 5:00. notice the snow showers around the area. 66: 6:00 coming through the d.c. metro area. 7:00, moving on through. by 8:00, everybody o

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

martinsburg 27. that's the problem. a lot of these areas are below freezing and there's that freezing rain advisory as i said from washington and allegheny counties west. not jefferson but berkley, mineral west for much of the east and west virginia panhandle of the garrett county 41 degrees. there's warmer air trying to move in. you see it also toward winchester. we're from the low 20s to 30s across much of the region. at reagan national, the official reporting station whether or not we like their snow total, 37. no winds. and this that dew point -- and that dew point at 26. a weak system today will give us a couple of rain showers here and there for the afternoon and evening mostly. 43 if not warmer. the way we're going we could be 45, 46. upper 20s, low 30s tonight. 40 tomorrow. some early showers south and east but sun in the afternoon. sunny and seasonable on thursday. friday and saturday mild again -- saturday and sunday that is. friday will be cold, 35 with flurries. back toward 50 over the weekend. we'll get mor

the exceptions will be hagerstown and martinsburg. bus stop temperatures 30. a few icy spots north and west. a bit chilly wednesday, but seasonable tomorrow. and hang in there. the 50s will still roll in here over the weekend. here 's the futurecast. the temps great. 37 in gathersburg. 38 fairfax. 38 buoy. take you all the way to the morning and we will have some leftover showers into southern maryland. temps still in the mid 30s . a raw day to start in southern maryland, but notice clearing back to the west. because you folks in hagerstown and martinsburg and winchester clear early, you will dip around the freezing mark. so be advised most of us will stay above freezing tonight. by 9:00, still 33 in gathersburg. back to 34 in leesburg. back to 35 in dale city. and then by 1:00, you finally clear out in southern maryland and temperatures will be in the 30s to low 40s . but that's average. that is really not a bad january day. even in the upper 30s to low 40s . some melting will still occur. by 6:00 p.m., about 24 hours from now, we are going to fall pretty qui

temperatures tomorrow morning, and 19 in martinsburg and 22 in leesburg. expecting clouds down to the south and not nearly as cold around last night and 25 in d.c. and 29 in fredericksburg and it will be a cold start to our day and we will see more cloud cover especially toward the eastern half of the area and maybe around baltimore and some clouds and some sunshine back to the west. 42 degrees in leesburg and 43 in martinsburg and 42, d.c., temperatures at horry below average for this time of year and once again, not all that bad and as we move on through the next couple of days and we see the temperatures start to moderate more. again, a chance of a shower late friday. if you're going out friday night and take the umbrella, you may need it from time to time and not a washout. saturday high of 53 degrees and then a storm system saturday night and that sets the stage for rain early on sunday and i do mean early and if you take a look at the redskins game and maybe you're doing tailgating down there, i think the rain should be done most likely by around the

so we're expecting maybe sweepable snow for areas in hagerstown, martinsburg, frederick. everybody else. i mean, it's going to be a quick coating at best. it's the timing that we're looking at that we issued the yellow weather alert. right when you're driving home the visibility could drop and there could be a few slick spots as well. 32 degrees. the dew point is on its way out and southerly winds. clouds will hang around today. the winds are light making it comfortable this morning but the winds are going to be should high later on tonight, near 50 mile per hour gusts, we have a wind advisory in place. that comes after the snow showers. so if you look back off to the north and west, you see a lot of snow here through western pennsylvania and west virginia. we're not expecting that much snow. near cumberland could see one to three inches but for us, we're expecting about a tenth of an inch of snow at best. you can see it here along 70, over to baltimore down through winchester and down 81. a coating is going to be the more likely scenario the farther north and west you go

we've got 22 at martinsburg. today we had a passing snow flake or too, not too much to be concerned about. mostly over the mountains. i'm sure some of you did see that moving through our neighborhoods. that is all moving out of the way for tonight however. as we look at just a few clouds in the overnight hours and our planner by the 9:00 hour has us at 33 degrees and by 11:0031 before we really start to dip. so what's happening? cold air pattern stays in place once we get into saturday morning and it all changes. big southerly flow kicking in. temperatures going to the 50s on saturday to the 60s on sunday. oh, what season is it really? once again another warm-up and the snow melt begins. i'll have more details on your 7-day forecast. back to you. >> two weeks after dc's fire chief admitted that it was a mistake to allow a lieutenant to retire with full benefits while he was being accused of wrong-doing, now that retirement is on hold. lieutenant guy valentine who was facing neglect of tutty charges is still on th
