today a cold front from the north and west. so some moving in from the north and west.hen some off to the south and west, some coming in from the south this afternoon. and it's fascinating to watch if you go out in a grassy field, you can see the clouds moving in different directions. sometimes, depending on the air mass, clouds will all move in the same direction. not all the tile. but particularly when you start to get disturbances and see stormy weather, you can see them moving in different directions. >> we could see that today maybe or tomorrow? >> certainly tomorrow. and i think late they are afternoon, probably get a taste of it. want to mention to you, tim, that this often occurs in the spring months and talking about severe weather. and one of the markers we looked for in the weather world for the possibility of tornadic activity is wind sheer. and that's when the wins are changing directions at different hughes. winds coming out of the west at 80 miles per hour and then wins out of the south at 60 miles per hour. and it's those wins coming together that start

could be a frozen mix off to the north and west, maybe few snow pellets. no reports of any of this touching the ground. little possible you could encounter a light snow shower if you are well north and west of the city. up toward haggerstowns and southern pennsylvania, it is possible there could be a light wintry mix there. at reagan national, it is currently 39 degrees. humidity, 67%. winds are out of the south at five miles per hour. looking at the forecast for today, lots of clouds around. could be a shower around here later today with high temperatures in the 40s. more details on the forecast in just a minute. back to you. >> thank you. >>> some of the top stories we're following, a major movement in the push to legalize gay marriage. washington state signed a bill into law last night and new jersey's state senate approved a similar measure. here in our area, some people of faith are rallying today in support of gay marriage in virginia. maryland governor martin o'malley says his same-sex marriage bill could be approved by a house committee this week. >

this is off to the north and west. ernight, looks like the rain and snow line like a couple afternoons ago gets close to the immediate washington areas. light accumulation possible. best chance north and west of the city. i think we will see snow flakes mixing on saturday. here we are saturday at 4:00. suggesting some mixed winter weather and then kicks out of here. and the second big story, very cold temperatures, going to plummet saturday night into early sunday. and daytime highs on sunday will only be about 30 to 33 degrees. so chilly around here for the weekend. 50 today, sunshine. again, dry for the afternoon commute. mild temperatures, winds north at 5 to 10 miles per hour. rain likely tonight. best chance north and west. could be light accumulations and we're looking at about an inch right now. winds east at 5 miles per hour as the storm cranks up off the coast. and tomorrow is a fun winter day, wintery mix, not doing something every minute, but rain and snow from time to time. and then a lot of wind at the end

from the metro to the north and west as we progression through the day tomorrow. ut everybody at least has a chance for up to an inch of snow. one to three. up to the north of us, okay, and that is the way it's looking now. the five-day forecast tomorrow, the high temperature will briefly touch the low of 40s and then in the afternoon, a colder air comes in. the temperature starts dropping and the wind speeds start to increase. downright miserably cold on sunday with a temperature of 36 and windchill values in the 20s. all day. and then next week, it looks like we warm into the 50s. >> hmm, hey? >> yeah. >> that is the way it's been this winter. >> love it, thank you, gary. >> a big honor for a brave little girl. the school and sheriff's department honored her for fighting off her would-be abductor in wal-mart this week. here's more on that story. >> reporter: so much has changeed since seven-year-old britney baxter last walked into her school.

let me mention the breezes out of the north and west. they will be breezy at time, wind gusting to about 15 to 20 miles per hour. we'll have an arctic front approaching from the north and west. there are some indication we could get a coastal low developing late friday and early saturday and these two could combine to give us some moisture around here late friday, early saturday. not sure exactly what form that might take but let me give you the possibility that it could be some winter weather around here early saturdays that storm slips off the coast. we'll have to keep an eye out for that. lots of sunshine. i mentioned the breeze north and west about five to 10. cheer and chilly overnight near freezing here in the city. 33degrees, we'll wake up in the upper 20s and low 30s if you are north amadou diallo west of the beltway. tomorrow looks fine. i mentioned that frontal system late friday, early saturday. putting some question marks there. rain-snow mix. not exactly sure where the rain- snow line might set up or how strong the system mig

frederick county north and west. loudoun county north and west. even in the metro area winds will be 40 an 50 miles an hour. time frame highest winds should be between 3:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. it will snow west of the divide tomorrow night and we mentioned this earlier. no tt a bad weekend to go -- not a bad weekend to go skiing this weekend as long as you go west. overnight mostly cloudy, breezy and mild. yes, a shower or thunderstorm possible. lows only 50-55. and those easterly winds are going to kick and become southwesterly at 10-20. and when that happens, you'll know the warm front is through us. early shower possible tomorrow morning. then partly sunny, windy and mild. 50s and 60s. winds west, southwest at 15-25 and gusty. we are looking at a high wind watch again frederick county north and west. loudoun county north and west. we have a high wind warning west of the divide. that means winds will be 60, 65 miles an hour. nothing in the metro area. but winds are going to be 40-50 whether they issue the advisory or not. when you can do, secure

want you to focus off to the north and west. t into tomorrow, we'll have a little winter event and the best chances for an accumulating snow. that being said, it will be off to the north and west tomorrow. let's talk about today first, no problems today. we've got high pressure across the area. should be a beautiful nice here in about a half hour and then we're off and running with temperatures back into the 50s. low to mid-50s for afternoon highs and just a few clouds passing through later this afternoon. the main event as it were, that being said, this is not a very strong system. it will arrive later tonight and during the day tomorrow. clouds will move in and during the late morning, are early afternoon, it looks like we'll get a wintry mix that will work its way back into the washington area. temperatures are expected to be in the upper 30s and low 40s. we are not expecting widespread accumulations on the roadways at least here in the immediate washington area. off to the north and west, the atmosphere looks a little bit mor

frederick county north and west. loudoun county north and west. under the high wind watch. the perimeters could be 58 miles per hour or higher. we could see that in the immediate metro area. we're going to see the winds of 40 to 50 miles per hour. the high-wind watch, north and west. you could do some things tonight or early tomorrow before you leave. secure the loose objects. bring in the smaller tables. bring in the smaller light chairs. especially the plastic chairs that will be blowing all over the place and put those basketball hoops on their said that have not been in concrete yet. windy and warm for you on friday. showers, maybe a little higher tonight. high wind watch for you tomorrow. north and west. but again, even in the metro area. the gust is at 40 to 50 miles per hour and then colder over the weekend, which really means just back to average, actually. mostly cloudy, breezy, mild. maybe a shower or a thunderstorm for you tonight. 50 to 55. winds are southwest at 10 to 20. tomorrow morning, early shower is possible. then partly cloudy, windy, mild. we're startin

rain southern maryland toward fredricksburg but snow north and west. generally light snow. i think road surfaces are going to be okay. 7:00 we still have some snow flying north and now after dark, this is one if we get any bit of stickage on the roads, that's when that would occur, although this will start to clear out after the 10:00 hour so that by thursday morning, we're back in the sunshine and looking pretty good as temperatures will climb well up in the 40s on thursday. how much snow we're looking at again? mainly grassy surfaces. about halfage inch or so -- half an inch or so here. inch and a half up north. it's not out of the question but we'll be watching t. it's not going to be a storm to stop things i don't think too badly but around here who knows. a couple of wet flakes and people freak out. tomorrow near 40 with the afternoon snow and rain south. again a light event. no need to rush out to the stores. by thursday 47 degrees. as we look toward the weekend, saturday gets colder, 40 and really kind of chilly sunday and monday with highs in the 30s. it's 5:17. a go

light snow north and west of the d.c. area, upper 30s around downtown, 33 in leesburg, culpepper cooling down to around 37 degrees. for tomorrow morning, cloudy and chilly with rain. temperatures in the 30s and 40s. the afternoon becoming partly cloudy and chilly. you'll want a jacket, highs around 45 to 50 degrees. around town upper 40s in downtown, annapolis mid-40s, culpepper close to 50 degrees. here's a look at your next seven at as. once we get through tomorrow morning, then we're looking at high pressure regaining control. by monday we're in the 50s, milder weather on tuesday, into the upper 50s. some models saying, hey, maybe 60 degrees in some locations south of us. wednesday night maybe also some more snow showers are possible. >> annie, thanks a lot. >>> we've got a new baby in the 9 news family. saray chin called in sick for work this morning, then she gave birth to a 7-pound, 10- ounce baby boy. she and her husband devin named their firstborn graham oak lucy. everybody is doing well. she probably won't be in

a little rain for us, snow and colder air to the north and west. think tomorrow morning we're right around 37. snow mixing with a little rain, clouds at noon, a little break and here comes the second part of this storm system, the winds picking up. temperatures will start to drop late in the afternoon and we'll have some snow showers moving through and the way it's looking most of the snow will actually come in basically phase two tomorrow afternoon late and into tomorrow evening. this is futurecast at 1 a.m. notice we're right here in the rain, snow back to the north and northwest. a little bit colder tomorrow morning. it will drag the snow line a little farther south and east, may get a little dusting with this here in the city by early, early tomorrow morning, still rain down to the south and out to the east and notice by about 4:00 we'll see a little line, a little snow squall that tries to move through. this will put down some snow, too and into the evening hours tomorrow night snow for just about everybody, maybe even as far south as frederic

i think that's the best chance we'll see some areas with some slick spots especially north and west. the roads are going to be mainly wet. the slick spots north and west. hagerstown, martinsburg, frederick not out of the question. we've been watching the moisture move in. a lot of this east of 95 is not reaching the ground. it's evaporating. it's tending to cool and moisten the atmosphere. as we switch it to live doppler 9hd, fredricksburg could see a couple of sprinkles but north of town, we know it's snowing. hearing from people in frederick and smithsburg and hagerstown and myersville. i want to take you to maryland right now. the. our meteorologist storm chaser knows a lot about weather. route 17, this is right by interstate 70 out there. you can see the snow is coming down but you also notice the wetness on the road. i think this is what we'll be dealing with for much of the afternoon. temperatures in the low to mid- 30s. 34 hagerstown to winchester. it can be above freezing. where the clouds are it's got to be cold enough but at the surface upper 30s. a lot of melting. cloudy sk

light snow and or rain to cause maybe a few travel difficulties tomorrow afternoon particularly north and west where the emphasis will be as temperatures will be colder there and looks like an all snow event roughly north and west of washington that is the part of the viewing area we got to lookout for tomorrow 43 washington, 41 leonard town, gaithersburg holding on to the freezing temperatures, 30 for you, 25 manassas. temperatures bouncing all over the place. 41 dulles, all this should be back low to mid-50s. get out of your way high pressure across the mid- atlantic it will be a nice afternoon for us out to the west this is our next area of storminess the clouds will start to move in here later tonight, when you get up tomorrow morning it will be a cloudy day we should be fine for the morning commute and by late morning early afternoon we will start to get some of this wintery precipitation in here and again, we are not exactly sure where that rain snow line will set up but the thinking is north and west of washington we could see light accumulations south and east it will be mostly a rain

let me show you the latest look at our radar you can see it moving in from the west, not here yet, snow showers you see north towards baltimore not touching the ground yet, it will arrive late morning and early afternoon, watching out to the west you will get it by late morning around the immediate watching on the area, by early afternoon we will see snow showers move on in. winter weather advisory and give you an update off to the north and west, winter weather advisory goes into effect between 10 and 12 noon and this is where the heaviest know will be and that being said it will not be terribly heavy, maybe an inch here montgomery county louden, maybe an inch plus as you get up towards the border with pennsylvania amount will be slightly higher, frederick and a few isolated spots southeast, you too will see snow you could get light accumulations it will mix for a time with rain, and that will pull down total accumulations temperatures they will be another big story 38 washington expecting temperatures to start falling as the column of snow starts to fall it will cool the air by late afternoon temperatures

north adds west -- owe north and west a little sprinkle activity. by 9:00 still in the low 40s. by then should have been mixed out as the winds will start to kick out of the northwest clearing us out by noon. upper 40s to around 50. you'll notice the breeze all day. northwest winds 15, maybe gusting to 20 miles an hour. mid-afternoon when the low to -- we're in the low to mid-50s. maybe about 54 to 55 for the high today. >>> it's been a painful process but leaders of virginia's theological seminary have now decided to replace the destroyed centerpiece of their alexandria campus. >> the historic emmanuel chapel is gone but gary nurenberg reports it will still play a role in the seminary's future. >> reporter: it stood for 129 years before being destroyed by fire in october of 2010. it's stained glass windows irreplaceable, its history of world leaders who worshiped or preached there only part of its meaning to an epolice cal community taught -- episcopal community taught to go and teach the gospel. >> gerald ford sat three pews from the back. i was ordained a priest in that space

is pretty much shaping up what we expected, a little bit less in the way of snow totals to the north and west. i don't think anybody is going to see upwards of two inches, an inch to the north and west. most areas seeing rain of i-95 to the south and east. show what you is happening out there. first off a live shot, a mixture of rain and snow there but also a lot of fog. visibility has been reduced all across the area, some locations reporting visibilities as low as a half to three quarters of a mile, especially where it is snowing off to the north and west. northern montgomery county, tom curran got up this morning, taking pictures out of it by his house in northern montgomery county, light show coting there, still seeing snow and have seen light to moderate snow. this is storm 4 radar now. i don't have it in rain/snow mode. i have it in regular mode. what we are talking about here is the precipitation, where it is the heaviest, montgomery county, all snow here in through fairfax county, leesburg, most of that is snow, you get into the rain, this area here much lighter as far as the rain goe

go north and west of the i-95 corridor, here we have the possibility of some icy spots and slick spotsparticular toward hagerstown and north toward york. highs even in those areas, those highs were four or five degrees above freezing, so, this, the lack of the snow sticking very well, at least initially at onset. we're getting a little north and west. this will clear out quickly. behind the system there's not much. cooler air will funnel in. could mean icy spots at daybreak even around baltimore and annapolis. as we go toward sun rise, two to three below freezing. that will mean the possibility of icy areas. temperatures dropping. as we go into the day tomorrow, 45. so any a.m. icy spots will melt off quickly. tomorrow night cold and dry. the seven-day forecast showing dry weather in the mid to upper 40s thursday and friday. then we're cool and dry the rest of the weekend. dry toward valentine's day. back to you. >> thanks a lot, wyatt. >>> in democracy 2012, last night shook things up in the gop race has rick santorum walked away with three unexpected wins in missouri, minnesota and c
