Anything else to do. Meanwhile, salt supplies at vdot have also taken a big hit the past few weeks. Highways and main roads are in good shape today throughout northern virginia. But the salt pile has just 10 less. We think we have enough to finish up this last storm. Antonio anthony says the best way to deal with slick roads right now is not at all. Not a bad idea indeed. Now, vdot, arlington and so many other agencies throughout the region are going to continue treating and plowing the roads tonight and they are warning drivers to watch out for that refreezing. Theyre expecting to happen later tonight. Live in arlington Jeff Goldberg abc 7 news. A slick spot on the beltway proved a problem for eight drivers this morning. Their vehicles were involved in an accident at braddock road around 7 30. We have no word on any injuries. On the other side of the beltway, a truck got stuck under an overpass. The vehicle was loaded with salt when its bed somehow raised too high. It became wedged between two beams on the bridge at georgia avenue. All lanes but one of the inner loop were closed for about five hours and the road reopened around 2 00 this afternoon. The melting that did happen on the roads came from the sun and the cars and the folks driving over them. Tom roussey picks up the Stormwatch Team coverage live on mobile track 7 in bethesda. Tom . We are just east of wisconsin avenue in bethesda on a street turning on to sleiford road. This doesnt look like its been plowed yet. Last halfhour we were in springbrook in rockville, things looked great there at least on the roads we were on. Doesnt look quite as good here. Definitely passable. About to hit a little speed bump right here. Got to be careful of that. This is what it looks like again. Were just east of wisconsin avenue downtown bethesda very well traveled. A lot of people live around here and things look like they are about to get better here. So were going to make this right and you can see this road looks fantastic right here. So the more well travelled roads it looks like the crews have gotten to. But there are a few strictly neighborhood streets that dont seem like theyre doing as well. Well turn on to one of them. This is middleton lane. It was pearl street we were on a minute ago. Another street that doesnt look like its really been plowed yet. But again, it is passable. Thats the big thing. Theres not so much snow and ice on here that you cant get by. But certainly, as the sun goes down, and its about to in the next hour or so what youre going to want to watch out for tonight is that potential for refreezing in the area. As far as the major roads, we were on wisconsin a few moments ago. It looked absolutely fantastic, the beltway looked good earlier. The main roads are doing very well. Some neighborhood streets like this one were on right now that you have to watch out for. Reporting live in bethesda, im tom roussey, abc 7 news. Thank you tom. Be careful out there. Folks tomorrow we should get warm enough out there to start melting all that snow. Meteorologist steve rudin is in the stormwatch Weather Center with the forecast. Steve . Warmer weather on the way. We have to wait one more day and you will definitely start to feel the difference around here. Take a look at whats going on in terms of our satellite and radar. Not a whole lot. Our skies are mainly clear. A few clouds south and west of us. Clearing skies will help our temperatures fall quickly as we move through the evening and into the overnight hours and anything that had a chance to melt due to the strong march sun angle will refreeze. 24 degrees right now at dulles. 25 in gaithersburg. 27 in frederick. 25 in martinsburg. Show you the wider view, though, and look to the lefthand side of the screen. Kansas city at 59 degrees. You can see where its green and yellow. That indicates warmer temperatures and thats whats on the way. Not only later tonight but moving through the rest of the weekend and into next week. Heres our forecast hour by hour as we move through the evening hours. Temperatures will only be in the 20s. Definitely bundle up as you head outdoors for this evening. Waking up tomorrow morning inside the beltway just around 15 degrees but that low range will be anywhere between 9 and 18. With the coldest air just off to the north and west of us. Well talk about the rest of the weekend and when we will potentially see temperatures in the upper 50s to around 60 degrees. Look at my seven day outlook coming up in just a few minutes. Thank you so much, steve. A developing story out of Prince Georges County now where police say they have caught the man behind a series of rapes in bladensburg over the last six months. Maryland bureau chief brad bell is live in palmer park with more on todays arrest. Well, maureen, a man is undergoing questioning right now in Police Headquarters right here behind me. He is so far charged in one crime. Considered a suspect in the second and a person of interest in two more. And theres a very real sense of relief here the Police Likely got potential serial rape suspects off the streets. Police developed 48yearold William Diggs as a suspect just last night. They spent tonight and today hunting for them and finally at 2 30 this afternoon, they made the arrest. This individual, obviously, preyed on young women. The ages of the victims were between 16 and 23 years old. Diggs is charged in connection with the rape that took place just two days ago along this stretch of 38th avenue in the cottage city brentwood area. It is alleged that he grabbed a woman, held a knife at her throat, pulled her into a ravine and committed the assault. Just steps from this mans business. Im really shocked that such a thing would happen here. This map shows the locations of the other three assaults for which diggs is considered a person of interest. They started in september. There was another in october and then another just last week. As you can see, they are all within a short walk of the center of this stretch of roadway in bladensburg where just last friday, police knocked on doors, distributed leaflets warning residents of the danger. Im concerned because we have a lot here who work at night. And, you know its dangerous so were constantly on guard. Other thing people were looking at the dates of those crimes. First one in september and not another one for a month and then now, two separated by just exactly one week. Thats why police are so relieved because they feel like there could have been many more of these terrible crimes. Brad bell, abc 7 news.

Well help you plan ahead as metro meets daylight savings time this weekend. Trapped in their own neighborhood. Were getting answers after some local residents say this is not the first time a train has blocked them in. And forget about what color the dress is. How one group is using the white and gold with black and blue to send a powerful message. Following yesterdays snowstorm, local ski resorts are planning for a huge weekend. How this ski season compares to this is a live look at the slopes on Snowshoe Mountain in west virginia. Yesterdays storm brought a fresh layer of powder to the ski resorts around our region. The winter that had more ups and downs than the ski slopes themselves. You can say that again. But as chris pabst shows us this evening, local resorts are anticipating a huge weekend. Awesome out there. Dreaded by many. Came yesterday, too. Embraced by some. Even if it hurts. Are you all right . Yeah. Told me that it was puffy. Following yesterdays winter storm, local ski slopes like those at Liberty Mountain resort are planning for a huge weekend. All the way up while weve had four to five feet of snow base most of the season if people have snow in their backyards, i think ill go skiing or snow tubing this weekend. This years ski season has been as unique as the weather. The slopes opened early around thanksgiving but a mild december left them largely bare. The frigid temperatures of the new year did help. Attendance at liberty and other resorts like white tail have been average. Although inconsistent. We decided yesterday, if school was canceled wed be coming up here. With this latest blast of winter weather, ski resorts hope to end strong. Between today, tomorrow and sunday liberty expects about 13,000 people to get on one of their ski lifts and then head down one of their slopes in what could be the last great ski weekend of the stone. Chris pabst, abc 7 news. Skiers in our area are going to be having some fun out there on the slopes. Dog sledders in alaska are having to alter their plans out there for the opposite reason. Most of the route for the annual iditarod routed, theres no snow up there. They have to move the route further north where there is some snow and ice. The same weather pattern thats given new england and us so much snow this year is given alaska record warmth and not much snow. They dont have to go north to get more snow. They have to come south. Have an iditarod race. Iditarod in boston. Ill tell you, enjoy it now. With the strong march sun angle similar to what we had in october and the temperatures that are in the 40s and the 50s its going to be gone by i think monday or tuesday. What a shame. Are you upset . Cant you see the tears . Daylight savings time starts early sunday morning and check out the sunset times and sunrise times to compare the difference. 6 32 early tomorrow morning. Sun will set tomorrow evening at 6 07. Look what happens when we spring ahead by one hour that sunset time, sunday night at 7 08. And by march 17th, not so long from now, well look at 12 hours of daylight. So Daylight Hours are indeed increasing as we move towards summer. Look at it outside right now. Thats not ocean city. Thats our roof camera here in washington or rosslyn and were looking at temperature 28 degrees at Reagan National airport. Wind chill factor makes it feel a little colder out there. Only at 21 and winds are out of the southsouthwest at seven miles per hour. Winds out of the southsouthwest will be the key indicator and will help warm things up as we move through the day tomorrow. Into next week. 29. Thats it for the daytime high. Look at the average for this time of year. Its 25 in martinsburg. Head further towards east and annapolis at 22. Andrews at 22. Get the point, its cold out there. Our skies are mainly clear. Few skies off to the west of us. Not going to amount to a whole lot. Temperatures are beginning to warm up. Well, well to the west. Look at kansas city, its 59 degrees. Thats where we have the winds more out of the south. High pressure just off to the west of us. Once that moves a little bit further to the east, thats going to allow our temperatures to warm up nicely. Well feel the difference starting tomorrow. But tonight its cold out there. 15 degrees for a low temperature inside the beltway. Winds out of the southsouthwest at two to five miles an hour. Further north and west you go to the city, Loudoun County and northern Montgomery County and frederick, not be surprised for nine 10 degrees for an overnight low temperature. Heres the futurecast. Theres the area of High Pressure. A weak disturbance thats late late saturday night. Notice what happens. It pretty much fizzled out. Not a whole lot of action with it. Maybe a few added clouds. But it will stay dry for the upcoming weekend and our temperatures finally begin to moderate a little bit. 46 degrees for the high tomorrow. Partly cloudy skies. Winds will be out of the southwest at just around five to 10 miles an hour. Once again, our average high for this time of year in the lower 50s. Were below average from where we should be. End you with the high note with a look at the extended outlook. Daytime high on sunday around 52 degrees. Sunday morning, daylight savings time begins. We spring ahead by one hour. Monday lower 50s. Tuesday, maybe a chance for a few passing showers. I dont think its going to amount to a whole lot. At least all will be in the form of rain showers. Temperatures in the lower 50s. Wednesday and thursday, upper 50s to around 60 degrees. Oh. And six days in a row at 60 degrees or better. Speaking of daylight savings time, metro wants to clear up some confusion about daylight savings time and its closing time this weekend. Of course, officially spring ahead at 2 00 sunday morning and thats when metro rail systems will close. Metro says the last trains of the evening will run through stations between 1 00 and 2 00 a. M.

By the end of this week, Salvation Army is using the debate over the color of the dress to bring home an important message. Joce sterman is here to explain. This time, the Salvation Army wants everybody to see black and blue as they try to shine a light on a serious problem, Domestic Violence. Forget white and gold this ad campaign is about black and blue. The bruises we see and the issue we ignore. This is a powerful and important message. A message now going viral for far less trivial reasons. But the Salvation Army in africa shining a light on Domestic Violence. Its dark approach is working with some calling this image a game changer and great redirection of a silly game. Ken forsyth with the Salvation Army in d. C. Says this campaign that wont be used officially stateside is no gimmick. Its a reflection of the work the organization does routinely to serve survivors. Offering emergency help transitional housing and training programs. We are able to help to empower these women to actually move forward with their lives and to overcome these obstacles. But some on social media see the ad as a road block to the real issue saying it sexualizes and glamourizes Domestic Violence. Its definitely startling. Marine reddick with the National Network to end Domestic Violence is glad to see conversation sparked by this startling image. What you cant see with this black and blue is the bigger picture, she says, of the problem. Remember that thats not the only form of Domestic Violence. The bruises go away often in a few weeks. But this was emotional scars that can last a lifetime. Domestic violence is an issue that impacts as many as 1 in 4 women in the united states. If you feel you may be a victim theres somewhere you can go for help. Contact the national Domestic Violence hotline, 18007997233. In the newsroom joce sterman, abc 7 news.

Always had the dream that i would be able to play in d. C. For the nationals and right now, thats the closest thing that i have to it. Hopefully things will go good. Not only would his family get more opportunities to see him play but theyd watch him compete with the world series contender. To be able to be out here and to even consider myself helping them to try to get that, you know, that goal is incredible. Wilson high school. Hope he cracks that roster. Good deal all right.
