i don't see that happening and i do see most of maryland and portions of northern maryland may not seeat all. washington still right on that boundary, though. so we will see something in the washington, d.c. area. the best chance for accumulation has moved to the south. we'll still two days out, but right now looks like most of this will stay to the south. >>> two gunmen are on the run after robbing all-pro check cashing in fredericksburg, virginia. the robbery happened yesterday morning. take a look. the store employee told police when he unlocked the front door, one man grabbed him and placed a gun in his back. both forced the employee open that safe and cash drawers, too. before the men fled, they tied the employee's hands and feet. police are asking anyone with information to call crime solvers. >>> there's a reported privacy breach for millions of apple users who use the browser safari. >> google is responding to claims that the search giant exploited that security problem. why should this bug us? >> do you have 30 minutes? >> no, because it's not going to snow. >> here's the prob

and then that northern tier of counties up to northern maryland and carol county to hartford county,ter storm warning in effect for those counties well out to the west. the higher elevations and they could get significant snow out there, maybe six, seven, eight inches of snow before it's all said and done. and a lot of the snow that they're going to get out west in that winter warning is going to come from the very cold air that starts coming in here tomorrow night. we're expecting lake-effect streamers, believe it or not, with the cold air to come down from lake eerie. again, the winter weather advise or, that is washington county, frederick county, and then there is carol county, hartford county. inspecting maybe when it's said and done, maybe one to three inches of snow up there. here in up to, it's 33. 39 for gaithersburg. the temperatures still warming up and we don't have to worry about anything with the roads. hagerstown, 39; a little colder for martinsburg and winchester there in the mid-30s and some showers at 7:00 around 42 and still some showers at 9:00, around 40 degrees

another swath of moisture coming through the panhandle of west virginia in through portions of northern maryland, extreme northern virginia that is going to be the other area that see a lot of rain, we are not done just yet, more thunderstorms forming around charleston, big-time severe weather to our west and tornado watch in effect toward roanoke. you widen out here, this is a monster storm, blizzard conditions yesterday, back toward the west, in through portions of the high plains, now talking about that storm moving through chicago. boston, six to ten inches of snow there could see the biggest snowfall of the year with that storm. haven't seen much snow at all. first snow of the february, of february for them, up there in that region, follow the front down, severe weather into mississippi, current tornado warnings now, even some spotted tornadoes in and around tennessee and northern portions of alabama, so, again, just a major storm making its way through the east. for us, mostly just a rain event. 51 out there now, winds out of the south southwest, five miles per hour. 58, fredericksburg. 43
