sue palka with our first look at our forecast. it's been a long time since we've even had rain in our area. you have to go back to november 7. the showers are going to be pretty light but they have showed up. they're in the district in a light fashion through the evening hours. by the time we get to midnight they may be starting to push across the bay. if you're heading out this evening you're going to have to deal with some wet roadways. a friendly reminder when we haven't had rain in a while the roads could be kind of slick because of the billion dollar up of car oil. it's all about the cold. you'll feel the cold tomorrow as the rain is going to be departing behind the frontal system. more on what to expect for wednesday. it won't be 6306-degrees like we had today that's for sure. that's all coming up in a few minutes. >> the fox5 forecast always at your fingertips, tracks storms on our website at fox5dc.com and get breaking weather alerts on the fox5 mobile app. good friends up the street lost their homes and i'm just so sad fo

let's get right to sue palka for an update . i think for most areas this is going to have a minor impact on the morning commute, but not for all areas. we still have a few snow flowers around. they will be gone very soon. just to put these in motion, moving to west to east they did very little west of d.c. they might have had a quick coating. but they were a little more vigorous east of d.c. through colombia and a small coating was were going on through you through. we're getting on the west side of the bay where we see the brighter purples it indicates where there's a little bit more intensity and enough snow to cover the ground and everything is sticking because it has been so cold. these are some of the roads in howard county after about four tenths of an inch of snow fell and all of that stuck on the untreated roads. to be sure, road crews really got out and tried to brian those roads across maryland tonight. but if they missed you and maybe you are like car contact mow lowell driving around 695 to 70 and then 29 he saw snow

sue palka's parents live there.nd she's been reporting to the weather team about what's been going on. the pictures coming out of erie is incredible. that's as tall as many people. >>> for iif we get anything at all, it could be a covering of snow. a smatterring of snow. our focus is off to the north and west for the light snow event we're start to see take shape, 27 in frederick and gaithersburg, winchester is 27, 22 in hagerstown, plenty cold. this is where the advisory is, here's north of maryland, central maryland, howard county, montgomery county, loudoun county, the closest counties to us. there's your light band of snow developing, i need your help, if you're seeing snowflakes, i'm not sure this is touching the ground, let me know, there we are, 70. here's frederick. perhaps out towards frederick, you get out along 81, winchester, maybe getting few flakes, the real theme is not the amount of snow. it will be light, but the fact that it's so cold, anything we get will stick to the road, keep that in mind for t

sue palka is here.in site for southern california they're keeping the red flag warnings up does look like the winds are going to be better tomorrow. as you heard adam housley say they did get a little bit of help as winds were lighter. this has been quite a mind blowing event of santa and a winds out there. we hope that it's going to get better as the weekend goes osm it's just hard to watch and to see theetion poor information everybody wearing the masks because the smoke is so toxic and it's everyone wrvment meanwhile here not a lot that we have tokery about except the possibility of our first snow. i'll tell you what, i wish we could send a little of this south out to california. most of the day tomorrow we've got nothing to worry about. we've been watching some snow medication across cleveland, another i and buffalo. i put a video from my brother you can check out. they had seven inches since three:30. it's snowing in parts of texas. houston may b bit of snow right now. that's what we're much whatti

i feel like we're casey kasem counting down the hits and here's sue palka. >> yet another imitation jim do. cold as ice is totally appropriate for today. we had morning high temperatures around 9, 10 o'clock when we were in the 40's. we've seen it dropping ever since and we're down to 37 degrees as you see a mix of clouds and sun out there. it's only 31 in gaithersburg, frederick 34, hagerstown down to 29 degrees. winchester 32 so obviously it's going to be a cold night. something that has improved, though, are those big wind gusts that we had earlier today. it was sustained winds are now much better and very few people are getting gusts over 20 miles an hour but the winds are still out of the northwest. that's a cold direction for us. as they continue to get lighter as we go through the evening it means we'll be getting colder. just a check of wind chills because as you saw with our temperatures mostly 30's but wind chills are widespread in the 20's. hagerstown feels like 21, cumberland 21, winchester 25, d.c. feels like 30 so if you're heading out tonight while the wind won't be huge
