storm team 4 has been tracking it for days, our team coverage begins with meteorologist veronica johnson. what's the time line? >> the next six to seven more hours. we have quite a ways to go. you can see on radar, there's the storms down south, part of the same weather system headed even. we're on the leading edge of some of those heavy rains and the high winds too. you can see around columbia, gaithersburg, through montgomery county, even leesburg, blue mount areas. and even some gusty conditions, too. headed towards gaithersburg, in the next 20 minutes, so all against eastbound for us, from in and out until 11:00 p.m. we have the possibility of seeing not only heavy rain, but also very high winds throughout the area. those heavy rains could be delivers ponding on area roads. we could get quite a bit of rain in a short period of time. let's go to chief meteorologist doug kammerer standing by with more on our potential for flooding and wind damage. >> yeah, veronica, the national weather service just issued the wind advisories for the entire area. earlier today it was out towards portio

"atlanti there's lingering snow in the area. white areas, it's coming down harder in far southern parts of the eastern shore. now the darker gray areas, very light snow in montgomery and howard, prince george's, arlington and fairfax. across northern virginia, there's a couple of spots where it will be coming down harder, prince william, northern fauquier, the panhandle of west virginia. this is all rapidly moving to the east. it did leave up to an inch of snow in some locations. generally around the metro area and points north and west. there was only about a half inch to less than that, maybe a quarter inch. some places here, pendleton county, west virginia, had a couple of inches. a winter weather advisory in effect until 9:00. it's probably going to be expiring here shortly as the snow's going to taper off and end over the next couple of hours.

as we take a look at storm team 4 radar, look at your screen. areas in the pink and the white, that's where we're getting that combination of some sleet and snow and freezing rain. now, the combination of the snow and the sleet is piled up a little bit. only a light amount in montgomery county and howard county. northern prince george's and farther south and east of there. but farther west, now, it's changing over just to all rain south of washington and in the district of columbia. it's a combination of sleet and some rain. it's rain that's falling into air that's below freezing. when that rain hits elevated surfaces like tree limbs and power lines, those can then begin to get a light glaze of ice on them. that's what's going to be happening here for the next several hours through the rest of much of the morning hours. that includes northern virginia, the district, nearby counties in maryland. we're right at or a little below the freezing mark. the difference between the sleet and freezing rain. sleet are the tiny balls of ice that fall down an

storm team 4 radar, look at that. nothing to show right now. i don't think it's going to be until we get till about noontime. this next system will start to move in. this will be the dominant system. all moving east, both producing some snowfall and even some wintry conditions down to our south. it's snow for us starting at 2:00. it's cold enough, unlike all of the other systems we had the early part of the winter. much like this last storm system, it will come through quickly. i do not think we're going to have any locations that pick up four or five inches of snowfall as was the case down towards the area of southern maryland this morning. we pick up around one, maybe two inches of snowfall in some locations. then it's cold, but we get the sunshine back over the weekend. and when we do, i do think that the actual afternoon high may get above freezing. so let's talk about those snowfall totals then throughout the area. gaithersburg, montgomery county, leesbu leesburg, one to two inches of snowfall. and then some slightly higher amounts around
