let's show you what it looks like if you're planning to head here in rockville. this accident long-standing in the intersection of seven locks road and montrose road. let's take a look at our maps at 270 on the southbound side. this accident southbound side near route 28 blocks the left lane. we got a shot from sky 9 of that. southbound side along the left side of the roadway. it was already slow to 121. i'm going to say it's going to extend pretty soon all the way to rockville because of this accident. i'll have more on that coming up at 6:58. >>> it is 6:43. friday. we love the sound of that. and we're not even going to be disturbed by a little bit of rain in the forecast. >> no. i think it's not going to complicate things too much, but those areas that are wet this morning could slow that morning commute. that's why we are on a yellow alert for today. right now outside, the conditions are overcast. we're going to stay mostly cloudy most of the day. in fact, temperatures were on the down slide last hour but reagan national up 41 degrees, one degree higher than

county right here, rockville, leesburg, frederick, hagerstown, washington county and right down that i-81 corridor the snowfall totals will be higher out there and certainly the higher elevations will pick up more. it's beginning to look like here in town probably not much. this trend continues to maybe introduce a little bit more in the way of rain here in the district than perhaps what we were thinking earlier. so we'll go with that and you can see all this precipitation getting closer to us, very doesn't shutoff between the cold and the rain. so there's just going to be basically an area of snow and then an area of rain and it's going to be a little in between but not much. we can see current radar imagery now. we're already beginning to see a little light snow moving up towards the northwest. it will fill in, though. i think by sunrise, so overnight tonight, early tomorrow morning just about everybody will be getting in on the act. here is futurecast tomorrow at 4 a.m. it starts to get in here to the city and moves across.

front royal, winchester, frederick, hagerstown, leesburg and rockville. it doesn't look like this is going to be a big storm at all for us, moving long quickly. the way we see it now, most of the snow will arrive for everyone before sunrise and basically coming in overnight tonight. for the d.c. area here, we're talking about snow and we'll see snow for most of the day tomorrow. the highest accumulations will be north and west which, is very typical around here and all of the precipitation, whether it's rain or snow, will be tapering off late in the day. coming up with the full forecast, will, we're talking about where we think the greatest accumulations will be and who sees an inch of wet snow. >> all right, sounds like problems on the road. the district said it will be ready when the first flakes fall. city leaders say plows will hit the streets about 4:00 a.m. tomorrow and they're going to pretreat bridges, overpasses and other elevated roads that are prone to freezeing. that is a combination of brine and beach use. the salt. , the plows go bac remembe

minutegomery county, rockville, frederick county and some communities around there and to the west. all-included in the winter weather advisory now and if it changes a bit, it will come from the south to the east and this is why this is coming at us and that is looking like it will move in and about everyone is going to see snow around here. 38 now, gaithersburg down to freezeing. baltimore, 36 and monasses, 37 and win chester is sitting at 32 degrees and that is going to be cold enough to snow. okay, even though i don't anticipate us getting down to froze negligent city, the upper levels of the atmosphere are cold enough to support snow and looks like, again, the snow arrives for everyone by sunrise and if you're south and east of d.c., it looks like primarily it may start as a morning mix and go to rain in the afternoon. late in the day tomorrow, by 5:00, the no is going to be all gone and how much snow are we anticipating? in typical fashion, the highest amounts of accumulation will be farther to the north and to the west. little, if any accumulation here and to prince georges co
