during the afternoon tomorrow and both of those could give us a little bit in the way of some accumulating snowfall. we'll continue to watch that for you as it moves on in. overnight tonight expect light rain around 9:00 in most locations but also some snow to the north and west. a mixture of rain and snow right on through tomorrow morning. temperatures falling down into the 30s. they're not going to go up that high tomorrow but then the cold air really sets in. it's not just the cold we're talking about. i'll show you what else moves in, too, in a few minutes. >> thank you, doug. now to the birth control controversy that has recently taken center stage in the presidential race. today president obama backed down and modified the rules on contraception coverage. instead of religiously affiliated organizations having to provide free birth control to employees, their separate insurance companies will be required to. steve handelsman is on capitol hill with the latest developments. >> right, doreen. thanks. good evening. for the obama white house and re-election effort, this is tricky. the president wants to be seen as responsive, as not anti-catholic but, still, on the side of the tens of millions of american women who use contraceptives. president obama himself announced his new rule on birth control. religious organizations won't have to pay for these services. and no religious institution will have to provide these services directly. but women who work at these institutions will have access to free contraceptive services just like other women. >> reporter: barack obama blinked. after protests even in his own party over the regulation he had insisted on requiring church affiliated schools and hospitals to include free birth control in their health care coverage. now their insurance companies must provide contraception and pay for it. catholic bishops called it a first step in the right direction and women's groups are pleased. >> now birth control is going to be covered because of this administration for no copay. >> reporter: but at the cpac conference in washington, conservatives see a winning issue. >> this definitely motivates this part of our base, a good catholic conservative christian base that we have here. >> reporter: at cpac catholic rick santorum who is gaining conservative converts after his triple win on tuesday and said it's not about contraception. >> it's about freedom of religion. it's about government control of your lives and it's got to stop. >> reporter: mitt romney came to cpac. >> i will reverse every single obama regulation that attacks our religious liberty and threatens innocent life in this country. >> reporter: president obama says government rules on birth control should not be a political issue. but now they are. and it's not clear yet which politicians that might help or hurt. doreen, back to you. >> steve handelsman reporting. thank you. there was mixed reaction to president obama's birth control plan. coming up in our next half hour derrick ward speaks to catholics in the region. find out their thoughts and the one thing that they all agree on at 6:30. and an emotional day in court today as a police videotape of george huguely was played. huguely is the university of virginia la crosse player charged with murdering his ex-girlfriend, a woman named yardley love. the taped interview brought huguely and several others in the courtroom to tears. julie carey is in charlottesville, virginia with more on this. >> reporter: only jurors, the judge, and attorneys could see that videotaped interview but all could hear it and hear george huguely's sobs and shouts of denial when police tell him yardley love is dead. it was a videotape flashback that brought accused killer george huguely to tears as he sat at the defense table. huguely broke down listening to the moment in his videotaped statement to police in which he learns yardley love is dead. detective lisa reeves was on the witness stand explaining that when they found huguely at his apartment he came willingly to merchandise and was read his miranda rights. the interview starts casually. huguely, who had been drinking heavily the day before sounds groggy. he says he went to love's apartment on may 3rd, 2010, to talk about several recent blowups between the two. huguely complained to police when he entered love's bedroom she got defensive, said huguely, i was like chill out, and shook her a little and she started freaking out. he says she kept hitting her head against the wall. and he later adds, somehow she ended up on the floor. i was holding her. i never struck her. i think that's when her nose started to bleed. huguely says he then tossed love on her bed and left. eventually, detective reeves delivers the information that abruptly changes the interview. i have to tell you something, says reeves. she's dead. you killed her. huguely, she's dead? no, i did not. she's dead? how the -- is she dead? reeves, you killed her. soon huguely becomes hysterical, shouting and crying. and as detectives handcuff him, he says, please tell me she's not dead. detective reeves, i wish i could tell you that, george. she is a 22-year-old and she's gone. huguely, kill me! oh, my god. there's no way she's dead. the video seems to bolster the defense contention that huguely didn't intend to kill love but it also reveals he initially lied to police, at first denying he kicked in the bedroom door, stole love's lap top, and, he said, the bruises on his knuckles were from a la crosse match. today jurors saw her bedroom door with a big hole kicked through it as the prosecution introduced it as evidence. george huguely wasn't the only one moved to tears today in the courtroom. at least two jurors cried as they watched the videotape. the prosecution continues its case on monday. reporting live from charlottesville, julie carey, news 4. >> thank you. there was gun fire today outside a

bus stop in the 4900 block of east capital street northeast. police say a tip led to the arrest. >> we had what we needed to have. we had people driving down the street that did not drive by a crime in progress. they stopped. they did what they could to help and they notified police and they waited for police to come to the scene. and then we had people in the community that came forward and provided us the information that we need. i want to thank all of those who helped us bring this case to closure. >> at this point police aren't saying whether this murder is related to any other transgender crimes in the d.c. area. in the race to the white house now the republican presidential hopefuls are here in washington tonight looking for support. rick santorum, newt gingrich, mitt

presidential contender mitt romney getting a rousing welcome from those who work in northern virginia's high tech corridor. >> we can't be number 40 or 41 on the table of innovative environments and

the northern virginia technology council and consumer electronics association. these are the risk takers, on the cutting edge of the high tech world. >> it's extremely important. without innovation you have no growth and with no growth you won't have employment. >> it is very, very critical and very much a global playing field. we have to do something to keep up. >> reporter: romney appeared with one of his top supporters, governor bob mcdonald, touting the state's unemployment rate of 6.2%. >> i thank you for the tremendous partnership over the last couple years to work together, to help our state rebound from perhaps the toughest periods since the great depression. >> reporter: it was clear romney was enjoying his talk on innovation and economics. to business leaders eager to hear more. >> i think this economy is starting to pick up for starters. >> reporter: it's no wonder mitt romney is all smiles when it comes to virginia. two of his closest opponents, rick santorum, and newt gingrich, failed to qualify for the march 6th primary. in reston, jane watrel, news 4. dozens of protesters spent this afternoon outside the cpac conference voicing opposition to many of the

angeles times says mark berndt was removed from miramar elementary school in january of last year as the los angeles county sheriff's department was investigating him. he was fired the next month and appealed but dropped the repeal and resigned after the school district paed him four months of back pay and reimbursed him for health benefit costs. former penn state football coach jerry sandusky asked a judge today for more time with his children. prosecutors vehemently opposed that request. they did so after neighbors voiced concerns about sandusky's behavior outside his house. >> reporter: jerry sandusky arrived at the courthouse wanting to tackle conditions of his house arrest, conditions that may be partly behind wife dottie's open hostility toward the media. here is what dottie did to wpxi reporter courtney brennan outside the sandusky home thursday. >> reporter: police have gotten several complaints. >> reporter: the complaints courtney brennan was reporting on were from sandusky's neighbors who say he's frequently seen outside on his porch peering toward children on a school playground nearby. that's why prosecutors ask at the hearing that the conditions be tightened to force him to stay inside. but sandusky said the neighbors are wrong. >> now all of a sudden these people turn on me when they've been in my home with their kids. >> reporter: sandusky asked that his house arrest be relaxed so that he can have the same freedom to visit grandchildren that his wife has. >> who came home after visiting with grandchildren or sitting there when grandchildren call on my birthday and they ask to talk to me and she has to tell them that they can't. >> reporter: sandusky can't have contact with anyone under 18 after being charged with 52 counts of sexually abusing ten boys. the judge says he'll rule soon on the conditions of house arrest as well as whether an outside jury will be brought to state college for sandusky's trial. >> do you have anything to say? >> reporter: that's now tentatively set to start in mid may. >> sandusky told a judge today he wants the trial to stay in state college, pennsylvania. he acknowledged that his position means he cannot appeal a conviction on the grounds that the local jury was biased. now to our weather. we're getting ready for cold temperatures this weekend. snow crews are already gearing up. officials in the district will deploy 60 plows starting saturday afternoon. they're reminding drivers to be careful on wet roadways and give the plows enough room to work. they are also asking residents to treat sidewalks early to prevent people from slipping if we get icy conditions out there. so we need to get more detail now about when you think bad weather is moving in and just how it's likely to affect us. >> they'll put out those plows but i don't think the plows will be needed on the streets. i don't expect this to be widespread snow. when it does come down winds will be blowing so much that the streets may be okay at least around the metro area. as we move over the next couple days we are going to be talking about very cold air coming in and, yes, i do think most of us should see at least some accumulation this time from the snow that will be moving on in here. first it's going to start out as rain. out there right now we're looking at cloudy conditions. we already had one little area of moisture come through. the d.c. area saw some rain. up to the north and west we're look agt some snow and even a coating of snow toward northern frederick county. high temperature right now 47 degrees where we were a little bit earlier today after a low of 33 this morning. get ready for the cold and the wind. once again the temperatures will be the biggest story this weekend. not the snow. 44 degrees. the current temperature out there right now with winds. they're calm and going to stay that way overnight. at least through around midnight tonight. but then they'll start to pick up and really pick up during the day tomorrow. 34 right now martinsburg. 36 in frederick. 37 in leesburg. right now 43 down toward la plata. temperatures are still at or just a little bit below average and we'll continue to go down a little bit tonight but tonight's not when the cold air is going to move in. up to the north 30 in pittsburgh right now. 32 state college. 32 in morgantown. 31 in elkins. this is the area that is already seeing the snow. i'll show you what i'm talking about on the radar picture. this is sensitive mode showing moisture in through montgomery county over through howard county. most of this very, very light. we are seeing some make its way as snow back toward the higher elevations of frederick county and even northern portions of montgomery county around damascus and mount airy also reporting a little in the way of light snow. most of the precipitation though still well back to the west. a lot of gulf moisture here and here is our storm system that's making its way down. this is the one that has the colder air. they are going to combine to give us not one but two chances for snow. the first will be overnight tonight and the next one will be tomorrow afternoon. all of that with the very cold air in canada. it has been trapped up there all winter long. it is finally able to make its way all the way down toward the south all the way down toward atlanta and the jacksonville area. here we go for our future weather forecast. tonight just some shower activity but watch what happens tonight around 1:00, 2:00, 3:00 in the morning. we start to see the snow north and west of washington. gaithersburg back through loudoun county, leaesburg, winchester. we could see some accumulation by the time you wake up. i expect you to look outside and see white ground. here is the rain around washington down to the south and east. watch what happens around 5:00. we start to see that change back over to snow. so even around the washington, d.c. metro area you may wake up to some white roofs and some white grass out there. i'm not expecting much by tomorrow morning but give yourself extra time on any roadways that you're going through. then we'll see a little bit of a lull around 11:00, 12:00. maybe a few snow showers here and there but that's about it. tomorrow afternoon however the snow returns with our second band. this is when everybody, even you folks in southern maryland, have a good chance of seeing some snow here. maybe a coating up to an inch in some locations. let's show you what i'm thinking as far as the snow forecast goes. down to the south and east and talking ocean city maybe 1 to 2 inches with the second band but here's is the biggest area over to washington coating to an inch possibly more. we'll have to continue to watch out for that. 1 to 2 to the west. in the mountains, we're talking 5 to 10 inches back there toward the ski resorts. very good snow back there for them with winter storm warnings in effect. most of us though will only see a little. so rain, snow developing tonight. most of it will come after midnight. and it will be here during the day tomorrow. expect winds tomorrow. that's not the one i wanted but you can follow me on twitter. there's the one i wanted, the four-day forecast showing a high of 42 tomorrow but falling temperatures tomorrow. sunday high of only 34. wind chill about 18 degrees in the middle of the afternoon on sunday. >> so whatever the snow sticks is going to be there for a little while. >> for a couple days chls we may actual git some snow that may stick around baufs the cold air. >> thank you, doug. coming up tonight the national park service planning to make changes to the martin luther king memorial. >> one of the toughest things to do and countless

on the dr. martin luther king jr. memorial. officials plan to remove the paraphrase and replace it with a full quote from the civil rights leader. some people complained the wording didn't accurately reflect king's words. the inscription currently reads, i was a drum major for justice, peace, and righteousness. the full quotation is, yes, if you want to say that i was a drum major, say that i was a drum major for justice. say that i was a drum major for peace. i was a drum major for righteousness and all of the other shallow things will not matter. >> finding a parking space in the district can be so difficult even the department of motor vehicles can't find one. now it's been forced to change the way it tests new drivers for the past three years. new drivers in the district have not been tested on parallel parking. the dmv tells the american automobile association that is because there is no place to do it. the triple-a calls that troubling because if you can't parallel park then you probably shouldn't be driving in the district. city officials tell the triple-a they hope to be able to reinstate the test by next year. if the city can lease suitable space. coming up a new warning tonight about snatch and grabs in the district and what's being done about that. >> in virginia, culpepper police officer kills a woman outside a local catholic school. he says it was

jurors to tears. a trial dated may 14th has been set for jerry sandusky the former penn state assistant coach who is facing 52 counts of child sexual abuse. sandusky is accused of molesting young boys

the moisture move in. some locations picking up some sprinkles and others some flurries. we are looking at that storm 4 radar right now. you see the moisture, a lot of moisture looking like it's making its way in here. most of this is not quite reaching the ground in our area but i expect it to pick up overnight tonight. once again areas of rain around the d.c. area, areas of snow to the rth and west. some of you will see accumulating snow by the time you get up tomorrow morning and i'll explain who in a few minutes. >> thank you, doug. in virginia a 54-year-old culpepper woman is dead,

with police? >> no. >> reporter: gary cook is the victim's husband. he says his wife didn't drink or use drugs. he says she has never been in trouble with the law. she got a traffic ticket back in

sharps had no known connection to each other before the night of the murder. >> d.c.'s mayor and the police chief are teaming up in an effort to stop an increase in the number of robberies. they say three thieves are grabbing cell phones and ipods right out of people's hands or cars and then selling them for cash. there have been 476 robberies of that kind in the district so far this year. to stop the trend, police are offering a $10,000 reward for information that leads to a conviction. officers are also working with federal authorities to deactivate stolen cell phones in order to prevent thieves from cashing in. >> working with the federal communications commission and working with the providers of these communications devices to immediately render them useless, to immediately deactivate them so that stealing them would lead to no economic gain. >> metro transit police are also cracking down on robberies and using undercover officers as what are called bait cops, decoys if

health care coverage that includes contraception. here is a live look at the white house where mr. obama made the announcement. the compromise means women would still get birth control without having to pay for it no matter where they work. today's move sparked cautious optimism from some catholics in our area. news 4's derrick ward has our report. >> we gather on this campus for a moment of prayer, reflection, and as i said some celebration. >> reporter: but it would be a cautious celebration. on the campus of mount st. mary's university in emmitsburg, maryland the compromise or accommodation announced by the president frees the church and church affiliated institutions from providing or even referring employees to free contraceptive care. now it falls to the insurer and it garnered praise among some in the clergy. >> this was an example where religiously motivated men and women and other men and women of good will put forward their visions and the administration found a way to accommodate people of competing views. >> we are relieved that the white house did not cave completely to the demands of the u.s. bishops. >> reporter: the group catholics for choice took out a full page ad in friday's "the washington post" and after the accommodation they are even more guarded. >> now we believe that the promise of contraceptive coverage for workers at catholic-controlled institutions is on a wing and a prayer and really dependent upon insurance companies doing the right thing. >> reporter: this woman worries it will be just women's care compromised. while we're hearing a degree of cautious optimism in light of the compromise that's been made we did hear from one student who said the whole exercise actually served to restore his faith in democracy or at least enforce it. >> my active citizenship mandates me as well as my conscience to fight for religious freedom. it is not about impose mooig view on anyone but having my views respected. >> reporter: at dgts for choice there is a sense that the issue isn't so much over who pays for contraceptive care. they say the true debate is over its inclusion in health care at all. questions remain what about the devout private employers of any religion who object to contraception? can they be exempted? will a provision drive up insurance premiums? here ironically there is agreement from both sides. >> of course the devil is in the details. >> the devil in these situations is in the details. >> reporter: derrick ward, news 4. still ahead on news 4 a look at the top ten most romantic cities in america

inches and you see that winter storm warning back to the west including garret county, maryland seeing 5 to 10 inches. that is very good news for the ski resorts out there. as far as the next couple days go how about a mix of rain and snow tomorrow? snow to the north and west. rain to the south and east. high of only 34 on your sunday. wind chills tomorrow will probably not get above 20 all day
