Im bob emler for wtop radio. By the way, abc 7 crews found two stations charging less than 2 for a gallon of regular unleaded. And this was inside the beltway today.

You can always find the gas you at wjla. Com. Youre going to start a line there tonight . Probably. Actually 1. 99. 9. As a kid, i asked my dad, why is it always. 9 . I dont know. Sounds better than the next penny, i guess. Whats the deal for tomorrow . Well have some snow sleet and rain. And these storms coming from the west thashgsz a dividing line issue. Who is going to get the sleet and rain back and forth . Its not going to be a big storm. We get an inch or two or two or three. Thats a headache. Its a mess. If it happens during the day, morning time we know what happens. We get a disproportionate number of problems related. Thats going to be the deal again. In preparation of this possibility, the National Weather service has issued a Winter Weather advisory in the lovely shade of purple. If youre still watching black and white its a medium gray. Issued starting at 4 00 a. M. Tomorrow morning in the northern suburbs. Runs through the entire day until 6 00 p. M. You notice Southern Maryland peninsula areas south and west of stafford and spotsylvania, you miss this one. You wouldnt think about snow. Its 49 at Reagan National and the temperatures will drop a bit. Only to these levels. Computer models indicate well be around freedzing for most of the area tomorrow. 35 for a low in the city. And thats part of the issue, trying to come up with numbers. How much snow is going to stick because a fair amount is going to melt and of course theres going to be the issue of the rain snow dividing line. We have the upper level system of the clipper, southern Stream Energy in the jet. Thats going to come through the area tomorrow. A Little Package of rain is out of here right now. So according to the modeling i think were going to see some time between 6 00 a. M. And mid morning, the precipitation mostly in the form of snow north and west. Maybe rain south and east of town move in. As we get through the arch could get briefly heavier. Rain snow line will be the issue. Put it together and put our Heads Together thats what were going to come up with. Rapidly clear skies. Most areas will be south of this area, if we get any snow bands or snow bursts which happens sometimes with little clippers it could be a little bit more than that. Its not going to be six inches. Its not going to be two feet. Schools arent going to be closed for two weeks. I suspect there will be some well thought out delays for schools in some sections in the morning and may be thinking about giving yourself plenty of extra time about the impact and then clear it out and maybe have a chance rain by saturday. Its those little storms and little ones that cause the biggest headaches. Absolutely. Ok. Just like this. Littlest ones cause the biggest headaches. When you get in your 20s and 30s, theyre still headaches. I know about the little ones. Its coming i know. All right. Thanks. Well see you in a bit. Coming up on abc 7 news at 4 00 a Close Encounter caught on tape. How this paddle boarder found out he was far from alone. Looking for lo 7 is on your side now with a consumer alert. More than 1 3 of all couples now meet on line. Many of them on Online Dating sites. Thats right. Unfortunately, those dating sites are also prime grounds for scammers looking to prey on people with broken hearts. If youre single and looking for a or recently divorced, an Online Dating site can be the answer to your prayers. But, these cyber dating sites a risk. One just shared her story with me to warn others. Shes a 9 to 5 Office Worker he was a handsome u. S. Serviceman and it looked as though it could blossom into the romance of life. He told me he was from new york. And that he was stationed in kabul right now. Kathy who asked that we not use her last name found james a strapping 50something sergeant on a dating site. I received an email that said hey, you look interesting. I want to meet you. Soon she says, her conversations over books and wine turned into declarations of love. His messages saying i pledge my heart and all my love. I was the love of his life and knew god had sent me into his life for a reason. Just as he was about to visit her during a leave, a snag developed and he needed some money. Kathy got suspicious. I asked him repeatedly to verify his name rank and serial number. And he said because of the job that he was doing in kabul, he couldnt release that information. At that point, she started searching on line and found her james showing up all over dating sites as ricky james, stuart james, and others. According to the military newspaper stars and stripes scammers in africa stole his real profile. The red flags of a romance scam, the person is a soldier or american businessman outside of the u. S. There was a reason they cant meet in person. And they always end up needing money. Kathy wants to warn other women so their hearts and dreams dont get broken by someone who sweeps them off their feet. Beware of anyone who says theyre in love with you immediately.

So you dont waste your money. Im john materais, abc 7 news. Ok. Ok. Works for me. No love at first sight. All right. Moving on you know in virginia you can be cited for reckless driving for going just 11 miles over the speed limit. Ok. Still ahead how one lawmaker must change that for those who push the limits. Im Horace Holmes and 7 on your side is back at this southwest d. C. Apartment with a story that we first brought you in december about a broken pipe and moldy walls in one unit . Well nothing much has changed since then. Back to the weather now because we have a few showers and sprinkles moving into the area right now. Yeah it would be nice if we could keep it light showers and sprinkles because tomorrow we could be seeing some snow across part of the region. Chief meteorologist doug hill is tracking that and our chances of storms coming through here in the storm watch 7 weather center. Doug . A little snow, a little sleet. A little rain mixed in. Lets get to it and show you what we have. First up is a Winter Weather advisory that goes into effect early tomorrow morning between 4 00 and 6 00 a. M. Across the region. You notice theres a large area south of the metro area large Geographic Area that has no advisories at all. Very little impact in those regions. However, in areas that get the snow and sleet in a mixing form starting in the morning, it could cause some issues as temperatures will be close to freezing and slowly climb. Also the fact that some areas will climb above freezing while the snow is falling will make it tougher to accumulate the snow. You see the snow forecast here, understand the thinking behind it. Futurecast gives indication on this version that the snow may not arrive until late morning. However, we also see versions that brings it in closer to 6 00 in the morning. Somewhere in between. And shows the separations south and east of the city being rain. North and west being snow. Look at how quickly it clears to the west by early evening and then in fine shape wednesday night, thursday and friday weatherwise. Heres what we think at the beginning. As this is kind of the bottom line. Up to an inch across the metro area in gray. Mostly rain south and southwest of that. And then the more accumulations if you call two inches more in the shaded blue areas to the north. If you get a snow band or snow burst, you can add a little on to it. Because its a clipper and fast mover, this wont produce seven or eight or nine inches of snow. Couple of inches of snow during the day with cold temperatures to cause a disproportionate number of problems. Thats what were concerned about. Talk more about this and the impacts and timing when we join you in a few minutes. Alison . Thank you. Two murders in as many weeks have a d. C.

Start time for the advisory in the metro area. South of town, no advisories. We think the farther north you go more of an impact. Farther south you go, less of an impact. That will be rain. With this system we think it will begin during the morning commute. Temperatures will be marginal very close to freezing most of the accumulations will be north and west of downtown wae had to narrow down a time period for the heaviest precipitation across the region it would be between 9 00 a. M. And 3 00 p. M. Tomorrow afternoon. Right now, temperatures too warm to support snow. Anything would fall in these temperatures would melt before it even hit the ground or impact. Still 50 in fredricksburg and 49 at Reagan National. Overnight temperatures will turn colder as the moisture starts to approach. An area of low pressure fed by a southern stream of energy. You see the area of snow depicted and do not see any rain depicted on this version. We think the temperature profile south and east of the city is likely to be rain. Whats most important about this is how progressive it is and how it continually pushes through. Our big storms come up the coast and bring in a lot of ocean moisture. Not this one. We know enough about clippers that sometimes they can surprise us. Sometimes they can grind out the snow band or snow burst which will give you a little more snow than what youre expecting. So let me tell you what we think. During the day tomorrow, well see rain mostly south of town. And then a mix or changing to snow metro area. Mostly snow to the north. We think about an inch towards the metro area. One to two to north and mainly rain south. The snow bands or snow bursts if they happen over your head then locally higher amounts are possible. This is what we see on the evidence of the model and our interpretation certainly not a major storm but certainly enough to cause some disruption, some delays and im sure some of those will be preemptory in the morning for schools and the likes. Stay tuned to us especially for that. You can see how quickly well clear out of here on thursday and friday. Get back in the 40s. Most of the snow that falls will melt. Rain or mix again on saturday as we approach 40. Look at these numbers, when you forecast any sort of disturbance or storm when you have highs in the upper 30s or 40 you know its not going to be a major storm. Couple of inches here and there at the wrong time can cause a mess. Thats what were expecting tomorrow. Impact and a mess from a little bit. Ok. Thank you very much. Thanks, doug. Lets see if theres an impact from the traffic at this hour. Bob emler in the wtop traffic center. Hi, bob. Hi there, alison. On the baltimorewashington parkway theres been a crash on the northbound side after 410 very little traffic getting by squeezing to the rye. Emergency road work continues on i95 northbound in howard county. Two lanes opened on 95. Its jammed from the beltway. 95 is slow through newington and woodbridge and 66 heavy to the westward. Take a look at how things look on the beltway in college park. Outer loop is good to 95 south and traffic on 66 will be heavy in the usual spots headed out to centreville. Im bob emler. Thank you bob. Up next here on abc 7 news at 4 00, hundreds of tons of concrete come crashing down. Latest on that overpass investigators in ohio are trying to figure out why an overpass being demolished collapsed in the middle of that project. As Marcy Gonzalez reports, today we learned the name of the man who died in that accident. This one is an overpass collapsing. Today investigators near cincinnati are working to figure out why this overpass suddenly collapsed last night sending hundreds of tons of concrete and steel plummeting to the highway below. You would say there are any number of possibilities at this point. The exit ramp above interstate 75 was in the process of being demolished when it gave way. A part of the Construction Team 35yearold brandon karl was crushed and killed by the falling debris. Something went wrong. And a tragedy has occurred. It was almost tragic for the driver of this tractortrailer, too. Hes recovering today after slamming head on into the wreckage. Matter of seconds and his fate would have probably been different as well. And so many are focusing on how a difference of a few hours could have made a major difference, too. It happened at 10 30 at night instead of rush hour. This situation could have been significantly worse. That part of the highway is still closed while the cleanup and investigation continues. Officials there say the company that was doing the demolition work had a good safety record. Marcy gonzalez, abc news, new york. Were going to be looking at this as an extended operation. Right now at 5 00 long painful search for the annapolis couple and their four grandchildren in the charred remains of a multimillion dollar mansion. Outpouring of love for those feared loss. He died a hero. Thats what a woman is telling us about her husband killed before her very eyes. Police say by her exhusband. And the demand for answers after a deadly incident in metro. Big question that metros chairman says he cant answer. But first Winter Weather alert that has the potential to have an impact on the morning and evening commutes tomorrow. That despite the m temperatures outside most of today. Chief meteorologist doug hill on storm watch now and joins us with when we could see this snow. Doug . Here we go again.

Lesser impacts expected there because it will be mainly rain. No advisories issued. As far as temperatures now, were well into the 40s. Close to 50 in spots. 53 in charlottesville. 50 in fredricksburg
