aaron, i want to start off with storm team 4 layered, i'm tracking light snowshowers back in far western maryland into west virginia. as this moves further east it could touch off a few sprinkles in our area, most of us will stay dry today. if you do see a few sprinkles having a pretty low impact on your morning, the timing would be from 7:00 to 9:00 a.m. otherwise a cloudy start. we are at 39 right now, by 9:00 a.m. we are in the low 40s. once we work our way toward the midday hours we will start to have increasing sunshine and at that point temperatures in the mid 40s. now, coming up in ten minutes i'm going to be walking you through you your afternoon letting you know how the weather will impact your thursday

so all of the roads in maryland except in far western maryland, garrett and allegheny counties, well above freezing. look at the current temperatures. everybody in the upper 30s to low 40s. so we're not going to get near freezing tonight. i want to quickly show you future weather. still raining around 1:00 a.m. but 5:00 ma'am, rain is east of 95. by 6:00 a.m., most of us completely dry. looking good for that morning commute, but more rain moves back in on tuesday. i'll have the timing on that coming up in my full forecast. >>> a serious crash in the the hospital. two of them with serious injuries. that crash involved multiple vehicles, and it happened before 6:00 on sunday on southern avenue and chesapeake streets, right on the d.c./maryland line. firefighters from prince george's county helped out the crews from d.c. at this hour, no word on what caused that crash. >>> and a woman in alexandria has died after being hit by a car last thursday. people are -- or i should say police are hoping that witnesses will help exactly what happened. the crash was on mount vernon avenue and west

clearing sky in the panhandle of west virginia and western maryland. we'll begin to see that clearing by mid morning but still a few sprinkles around hagerstown and martinsburg and southern area here. but it's continuing to track off to the east and gradually drying out. now let's check on an early morning crash in west virginia. >> it's still hanging around. this is the ramp to the inner loop of the beltway here this morn. the crash still blocking the right lane and the ramp here this morning. this has been hanging around for quite some time. we're hoping that gets out of the way soon. 66 is okay. so 195 here this morning. and the beltway overall looking all right. again, that rain is moving out of the area. earlier and earlier. >>> a popular pizza shop on connecticut avenue will stay closed today after a gunman came in and fired an assault rifle. edgar welch is now under arrest. police say he went to comet ping-pong to investi pizzagate. that's a false online election conspiracy theory. no one was hurt but a man describes what happened. >> when you c
