Larry watson that man said he ran into the building and rescued two elderly people. A woman and her son. They were on like the top of the steps.

Looks outside right now, looks nice a couple of areas are seeing a couple of sprinkles. Live Doppler Radar is seeing a little bit of moisture stretching back towards front royal. Most of that is evaporating before reaching the surface but we could get a brief stray shower as we head through the afternoon hours. Main thing will be the clouds that will start increasing gradually throughout the day today ahead of a clipper system thats going to be bringing in some interesting conditions here for tomorrow. In the meantime temperaturewise, were all above that freezing mark. Not too bad here in d. C. With 43 degrees and 39 in culpepper. 37 in winchester and 43 degrees right now in gaithersburg. So all of the things are starting to come into focus with this clipper heading towards the midatlantic states. We do think our temperatures are going to be kind of borderline. It makes it a tricky forecast in terms of accumulations. Right now, we think well get a little moisture moving through the overnight hours or early tomorrow morning. That could be in the form of rain or snow. I think it will be very light. Prepare for damp roads for the morning commute. I dont think it will be a big problem. By the middle of the morning, thats when well start to see the rain and snow mixing and around the lunch hour or so im expecting all snow and that will be our greatest window of opportunity to get things accumulating. Keep in mind areas north and west will see the snow sooner and this will start to taper off as we head towards the evening commute. This may end up being more impactful overall. Are we going to get . Ill show you our Snowfall Forecast thats coming up from the Weather Center 10 minutes from now. Jummy . Well see you then thank you. We have new details on the metro smoke investigation. D. C.

John gonzalez is at the Wilson Building with the details were learning this noon. John . Good afternoon. Now, just over a week after metros deadly incident at the Lenfant Plaza metro station, this afternoon, we are hearing for the first time from metro. The d. C. Council is holding a closed door meeting as we speak inside city hall here with the chairman of metros board of directors, tom downs. Now, i mentioned its a closed meeting to the public but our cameras were allowed in and after the chairman gave a brief statement about not being able to essentially disclose confidential information while the ntsbs investigation is going on the city council didnt hold back. Several members grilled the transit official wanting to know today if there was negligence with the Emergency Response last monday. What repairs need to be made immediately to prevent this from happening again and what is the evacuation procedure in an emergency like this . The essentially dodged most of their questions. Take a listen. The facts are actually important before jumping to a conclusion about what needs to be fixed. This is an investigation. It is independent. It is federally regulated by existing rules and regulations. Theyre the only independent party that keeps all of us from pointing fingers at each other about who shot who in this process. As a metro rider myself im hoping to get some answers. I think a lot of people are frustrated and angry by what happened and if i look through this preliminary report this weekend, what i saw was there was a lot of gaps in our communication and make sure the responders were able to get to the scene as quick as possible. In an attempt to eliminate any rumors or speculations, about th specifics the chairman spoke about today was saying that the reports of fans and ventilation inside the tunnel not working properly last monday are absolutely false. He says that the fans and ventilation systems worked properly. We should have the results of that full ntsb investigation within about six months to a year were told.

All righty. Time to talk the forecast. At least a nice day for anybody who may be heading out tonight. Not a bad day today. Tomorrow, thats a different story. So you know, not terrible. This is becoming the winter of the clippers isnt it . So this is what our third consecutive one in as many weeks and the impact is going to be medium. The good news is i think this is going to be more of a midday event this time around. So that the morning and evening commutes may be a little bit better. The evening one, i think, well be watching a little bit more closely than anything else. So come over to the tv if youre not next to it right now and take a look at this. If you are not up early enough to see the sunrise, wow it was spectacular today. Gorgeous time lapse for you from the Bell Haven Country Club in alexandria where you get a couple of clouds to go with that sun up and enjoy some spectacular color. We have some nice breaks in the cloud cover at this time. Some of the blue skies and beautiful noon hour here across most of the region. Although a few of the outlets may get a few sprinkles, too and a peek of energy comes through the region. Thats the exact average high today and we should top out in another couple. 43 in culpepper. And 46 in lexington park. So as we take a look across the region, look at the temperatures down to the south. 50s and even 60s across north carolina. And we look upstream and temperatures still not too bad in chicago and indianapolis. So theres not a lot of cold air place. This system is going to be dependent on a couple of things one of which is our temperatures. And that is very borderline and thats going to be the difference between this weeks clipper and last weeks clipper is that i think this is going to be a heavy wet snow and everything that hits is not necessarily going to stick. It will be tough to do that across the d. C. Metro area. So the disturbance has come out here for today. That could bring a couple of sprinkles mainly west of town. Well get some of the moisture hooking up with that as you head into tomorrow. Thats really going to be the big show. Computer models are creating a little bit more of a consensus than they were earlier today. So our confidence is growing in this. Theres still not l Matchy Matchy that i like to see. Lets take you through time with this futurecast model showing you just fine conditions through the afternoon hours. Clouds are going to be here for tonight. Now, this computer model shows us that most of the precip is going to hold off until about mid morning and i think thats a good call. But i couldnt rule out some light stuff into the even for that drive in. Be prepared for at least damp roads. Youre likely to start more snow in the northwestern suburbs and more likely to see rain drops in metro and areas to the south. Midday tomorrow between noon and 2 00, thats when we can see the heavier patches of snowfall pushing through the region. As we head into the evening commute, this starts to move off towards the east. We start to dry things up and things look better. So this is a one hit wonder as i like to call it. Meaning were going to deal with this on wednesday and then things look a little bit better on thursday. It might be a little bit of refreeze in the morning. This is the futurecast snowfall. I dont want you to Pay Attention to these numbers as i want you to show where im expecting the snowfall accumulations. That seems to have a pretty good handle on it. So as we get out the snow band map, heres what im expecting. For the d. C. Metro area, that includes parts of fairfax, loudoun and montgomery counties a trace to an inch. Most will be on the grassy areas and expecting mainly wet roads throughout the metro. But areas up to the north thats where accumulations will be a little bit heavier. West towards frederick, hagerstown and martinsburg, you could see one to two inches and locally heavier amounts will be possible. Up to three inches. So as we take a look at the sevenday forecast the rest of today looks good with 48 degrees. And increasing cloudiness. Tomorrow will be our rain snow day with some accumulations and inconveniences. There may be some early releases rather than late starts is kind of what im thinking right now and then well be watching a coastal system potentially on saturday. Still bringing us some interesting conditions. Right now, im optimistic that will stay for ourselves. Something for the evening folks to take care of. Not us morning folks for a change. Thank you. Coming up here on abc 7 news at noon, a Surprising New prescription for pain. Why more doctors now say the gym may be your best medicine. Thats next.
