rain, snow and at times back to snow and back to rain. it's north and west of the i-95 corridor where we've seen the most consistent snow and temperatures falling to that freezing level. some of these areas to the north and west we could see some accumulations, particularly on elevated surfaces, grassy areas and rooftops. not so much on the roads. most of the roads have been pretreated but we're seeing bands that could create slick areas and further west toward manchester. we can see slick areas. you want to drive with caution. it has been a rain event on the eastern shore and along the immediate chesapeake waters. there's not a lot behind this. we have a couple more hours to deal with it. the freeze line, you can see, is north and west of baltimore. it's up here, york, frepg and car -- frederick and carroll county. that's where we'll see the possibility of icy areas. mostly rain to the east of i-95. we'll talk more about how things shape up into your morning and the weekend coming up. >>> let's go out there live right now and see how the

a little bit of snow, but the snow that fell on the pavement has the potential to refreeze overnight. not a tremendous amount of arctic cold air. the temperatures in the 20's and syracuse. to the south raleigh in the 50's. the system moving out. scattered snow showers remain. not amount to much. patchy drizzle over night. by midmorning, we are confident we will have breaks in the clouds and sunshine by tomorrow afternoon. live doppler radar, mainly rain or showers at this time. that is across the district, prince george's county southern maryland is dry. the roadways are wet. the future-cast, the next 40 hours, everything clears out moving through the day sunday. sunday afternoon clouds breaking apart the high pressure builds in from the west. this means sunshine for the day monday and tuesday the temperatures back into the upper 40's, low 50's. the forecast tonight, not a little bit of drizzle, snow flurries it's a little bit cold. a. 20's in the north and west, low 30's closer towards the bay. tomorrow, a mixture of sun and clouds in the afternoon 42-47 the wind out of the north at

a mix of rain and snow with a high temperature of 48 today. a chance for some rain and snow mix. that storm will move in tonight and we will see a mix of rain and snow as temperatures stay above freezing. we will have low pressure coming up the coast. an arctic cold front will be moving in from the west. we will see a big snowstorm up in new england. i think we will see some snow in baltimore on saturday. will see perhaps a steady light snow as this moves by. snow showers will pile on top of that and the temperatures will be falling during the day. that will add up to a couple of inches of snow in most neighborhoods. it is not a big storm. here's what we expect. this will be a general one- to two-inch snow fall. perhaps in annapolis you guys will see an inch of snow. maybe some more in frederick and carroll counties. mostly rain in southern maryland. not a significant storm. but more coverage and more of a chance of it sticking to the ground and perhaps the roads on saturday. 60% chance for snow showers on saturday. one to two inches of accumulation. it will be called bank on sun

that's a wintery mix that could be turning to snow as well. still think we'll see light snow falling overnight and into early tomorrow morning. the farther west and north you are, the better chance of seeing that. temperatures, they are falling around 38 in downtown. get into the suburbs, leesburg, freezing mark. you will see slick spots tonight and early tomorrow morning. same for winchester, 32. fredericksburg a little milder at 39 degrees. andrews air force base in the mid-30s. here's a look at the national picture. coming up from the south is moisture, and also up from the north of us. we're getting two spots. we're going to see the prescription probably just a little bit overnight into early tomorrow morning, but it won't last a whole lot longer than that. so a few wet flakes are possible early sunday farther north and west of town. better chances of that slick driveways and bridges and overpasses, those untreated surfaces. watch out for that. sunday afternoon, partly cloudy and chilly. then monday turning out to be dry and milder. here's

is snow on the ground. about 1 inch of snow has already fallen. you can see the winter weather beginning to pick up. as we look at the super doppler radar, a well defined line sleet ande rain, the the snow. time.snow at this southern maryland has and all rain event. for a little bit of across the immediate metro area. will move into the overnight. how much can be expected? when will this move out of here? have full details coming in just a few minutes. our storm watch coverage continues tonight. starting toes is of the snow moved in. >> we are here in clarksburg, been snowing for hour now. part of an we look over to that tree over there. concern is the rose. we have some video to show you. the big concern roads. the highway crews say they are down salt on some of the slick spots. in places out west like colorado, it was a lot worse today. winter is striking back. >> it has been horrible. just going down the highway at 35 miles an hour. skid.in a >> we could plow if it was just snow. brings it right back. >> in kansas and iowa, drivers white-outs a
