Temperatures right now are all above freezing. In fact, at 42 degrees at Reagan National. 38 dulles. 36 b. W. I. Marshall. There is a Winter Weather advisory in effect for upper parts of Montgomery County. Also carroll frederick, and Washington Counties in maryland, berkeley and jefferson counties and West Virginia as well. And that is because there is the potential for maybe a little bit of sleet and snow at the onset. So some of the bridges, overpasses may be a little bit slick. Keep that in mind especially as youre maybe coming home from some of those super bowl parties. For the most part i think its going to be a wet ride overnight with a lot of the change over to all rain expected. By 11 00, rain across the region. Temperatures in the upper 30s.

The secret service says a man was arrested after he tried to climb over a temporary bike rack on pennsylvania avenue outside the white house fence. It happened at 2 15 this afternoon. The man was arrested for unlawful entry. His name has not yet been released. And now to a developing story in the district. Two parents have been arrested accused of leaving their Young Children alone in a car in below freezing temperatures while they attended a wine tasting. Police found the children yesterday on 23rd street northwest near l street. It was here near the intersection of 23rd and l streets. I thought it was really sad. Whereabout 4 30 saturday afternoon a witness spotted a 3yearold girl and a 2yearold boy left alone inside a parked volvo. Surprising that the most parentally sound decision it was not the most sound decision. The Police Report said the car was locked, heat and engine on, outside temperature, 28 degrees. Obviously irresponsible. Thats what youll probably get from most people around here. But that wasnt all. The manager of the nearby restaurant confirms the childrens care givers, identified by police as 45yearold jenny chang and 41yearold christoph lucas, were inside attending a wine tasting. I mean, the same thing as you leaving your kids in a hot car in the summer. This weather is terrible. Police say the youngsters were left unattended for an hour. Arriving officers located chang and lucas and booked them here at Second District headquarters on seconddegree cruelty to children charges. For a wine tasting hopefully you have enough income to afford a babysitter. Just get the babysitter. No one answered at the couples northwest d. C. Town house but neighbors expressed surprise. They say chang and lucas are attentive, caring parents. I dont think its right. I dont know why they wouldnt just bring the kids inside. Pretty scathing details in the Police Report. The two toddlers are with child protective services. These are pretty serious charges. If chang and lucas are convicted they could face 10,000 in fines and up to 10 years behind bars.

Two Montgomery County firefighters have been treated and released after suffering injuries in an apartment fire. Three families were forced out of their homes overnight on dudley lane in bethesda, which is near a marriott hotel. Photos and papers were scattered across the grae snow after a fire forced three families out in the cold in the middle of the night. The Fire Department says they got a call around 3 00 this morning from someone staying at the marriott across the street who spotted the fire. Not exactly across the street but the Vantage Point they had was just the right angle and high enough in the hotel that they were able to see this fire. Fire investigators believe the fire started in the area of a drier vent in one apartment spreading quickly into the walls and floors causing significant damage to the building. It took 150 firefighters to fight the fire. The Fire Department says smoke detectors and sprinklers went off and residents were able to get out safely in time. Pretty good at maintenance. They keep up with their fire alarms and clean out the drier vents. Im very surprised. Now as residents are left picking up the pieces firefighters are trying to raise awareness on drier safety. Pretty sad. I think theyre safe. Nobody got hurt. Were told two firefighters were injured today, one suffering a hand injury and the other slipping on the ice. Damages are estimated around 1 million.

What we can expect later tonight and into monday morning when we come back. What happens with this weather system, just moves further northward . Exactly. It is allowing more warmer air to move in. It doesnt mean some spots may not see a little sleet. Ill start off with our live super doppler in snow machine mode because there are a few spots especially along the i81 corridor where our snow machine is picking up on succomb of this mixed precipitation. Temperatures are all above freezing so im not really worried about Road Conditions being too slick. However, temperatures aloft are still cold enough, we have just enough dry air in place that you may hear a few sleet pellets hit the roof of your house maybe while watching the super bowl. Thanks for tuning in with us and taking away from the game for a few seconds. But we are still seeing many quiet conditions in town but all of this moisture is spreading eastward. As i mentioned temperatures are all above freezing at Reagan National 42. 38 at dulles. 36 at b. W. I. 36 as well in gaithers burg. 43 in manassas. Raid acomposite does show a lot of moisture off to our west. The northern extent of the system has all been snow and some pretty heavy snow at that. As kimberly and i were mentioning the low itself is going to track well to our north. In fact the center of sick lags over ohio but it is tracking far enough north that its allowing warmer temperatures off to the south to slide in. Temperatures in the central u. S. In the 50s. Going forward i think it initializes pretty well at 8 00 with some of this precipitation moving into the i81 corridor. It will continue spreading eastward. By 11 00 as maybe some of you leaving the super bowl parties for the most part just rain. As you get a little further toward the north and closer to the masondixon line there may be a little snow. Maybe a little sleet. But, fortunately temperatures are well above freezing so road surfaces should just be wet. But, still, even with wet pavement be a little extra cautious. Tomorrow morning waking up, temperatures are actually going to rise overnight. In fact some guidance suggesting morning temperatures may be around 50 degrees. Even if not, 40s is aokay to start the day. These rain showers exit. By lunch time the sun comes out but the winds will be whipping and by 6 00 tomorrow evening temperatures will already be falling into the 30s. Its going to be a warm start tomorrow relative for this time of the year. It is february 1. Then temperatures will tumble for the afternoon. Any concern for any slippery weather conditions will be well north where we do have the Winter Weather advisory in effect. So our storm threat index all pointing to a mainly Winter Weather event and hour by hour tomorrow morning starting in the upper 30s though some of the latest guidance even warmer temperatures. Then we start to tumble late in the day as the colder air starts to move in and cold, early tuesday morning. 19 degrees. Tuesday. 32. We rebound a bit on wednesday. All right. Not too bad for february. Could be a lot worse. A lot of people Walking Around in definitely a blood bath today. Hockey fans like that . They do. I remember we had this conversation a while ago.

He becomes only the fifth player in nhl history to score at least 30 goals in his first 10 seasons. Also add another goal late in the game. Second period tied at one scary moment for alzner. Checked hard into the boards head first. The caps werent too happy with that. Alzner with a gash on his eye was not pretty at all. For the fiveminute major. But the caps couldnt cash in. Later in the second were tied at two. Blues attacking the nets. Peters in trouble. Finally a score. Caps drop two straight. The final for this one, 43. How it ebs and flows in the season and we havent played our best consistently. A couple good games put together and then a couple bad games. But consistency is what wins. You need to consistently do it. Excuse every night. And right now were doing it some nights and not doing it some nights. Thats why we dont have a streak going. All right.

He wins the fourth set, 60, to win his fifth Australian Open title, 7667, 60. Eight grand slam titles. The wizards didnt look like the team we usually see at verizon trailing by as many as 21 last night to the raptors. They clawed their way back in forcing overtime tied at 109. They go on to lose, 120116 though. The other eastern conference guard kyle lowry took over finished with 22. Overall the effort was there. Hit the comeback. Heres Randy Whitman after the game. I got to give our guys credit there. You know, it could have been easy when we got down to 20 or whatever it was. The way they were shooting it. You know, to put your head down a little bit.
