As you mentioned, the demonstrations began today with a womens march on washington. The rally filled the national mall.

Followers of nbc washington on facebook just cant stop commenting on this next story. The white house taking on the press for how it covered the inauguration yesterday. News 4s Jackie Bentsen joins us live with the story behind the crowd size controversy. Jackie . Reporter well, jim, this involves a federal agency making an apology on its twitter account. No one can remember a federal agency making an apology on social media like this before. The National ParksService Twitter account retweeted yesterday this post by New York Times correspondent binyamin applebaum, who described it as sidebyside images of the 2009 and 2017 president ial inauguration. The account then went dark until this morning, when this tweet that says we regret the mistaken retweet was posted. These attempts to lessen the are shameful and wrong. Reporter White House Communications director sean spicer brought up the the issue at a press briefing this evening. He said many news images had been taken in a way to minimize the size of crowds on the mall during the inauguration. He added this was the largest audience to ever witness an inauguration, period, both in person and around the globe. There are thousands of people that werent even in there to be represented in that photograph. Reporter judy gilbert and her family were on the mall for President Trumps inauguration. She thinks any gaps in the crowd were not due to a lack of attendees but problems with access. I also know that there were hundreds, maybe to a thousand people that werent allowed in the mall because of security and they were being blocked by the disrupt group. Reporter victoria prera and robin parrot were in the mall area both friday and during todays womens march. We were here both days. And we believe for sure there was mo reporter now, the agency, the federal agency that would be able to give some type of official estimate to this, the National Park service. They stopped doing that after the million man march back in 1995. Live on the national mall, jackie bensen, news 4. Thank you, jackie. Meanwhile, social media lighting up with reaction to the press secretarys comments. Sean spicer trending right now on facebook and hashtag spicer facts trending on twitter with a noticeably sarcastic tone like this one. The Washington Monument is further away on fridays, period. Spicerfacts. This one here, vinegar and oil combine seamlessly. Period. Spicerfacts. Still there, were plenty of spicer defenders.

Another woman using this picture with this gif, women . There were women in d. C. Today . I didnt see anything. With this gif. And then this last tweet as well.

The white house announced today that the pair will discuss trade, immigration, and security. You may have noticed those pitching hats with kitten ears being worn by participants at the womens march today. Some of them were made right here in the district. Earlier this week we talked to organizers who knitted the hats for the march, and they told us that wearing pink is a powerful statement about being unapologetically feminine as well as standing for womens rights. It was also a symbol of solidarity, referencing President Trumps comments about grabbing women by their private parts. The people who came out for the rally and march have been very active on social media. They sure have. Were seeing a whole lot of pictures of the Creative Signs that folks brought with them to the march. There are so many, i posted some on my Facebook Page tonight so you can see them for yourself. Asked you to chime in on our nbc washington Facebook Page, do you think the white house should respond to todays marches . Since our last check, the answer yes. But i think he wont is still the most popular answer in our poll. Its misty. Its damp out there. And theres also some areas of very thick fog. The National Weather service has issued a dense fog advisory for all of the counties here in gray. This is going to go until 5 00 a. M. In the morning. This includes frederick and anne arundel counties. I do have a feeling, though, that theyll extend this advisory. Ill show you the visibility in just a moment potentially into areas like montgomery, loudoun, Prince William and faulkner counties, fog impacting the area until about 8 00, 9 00 a. M. Were talking about visibility potentially a quarter of amile or less. So fur traveling late tonight, early tomorrow morning you want to use the low beams. Current visibilitieig gaithersburg down to about a quarter of a mile. Martinsburg as well. But were still pick up fog here in leesburg, manassas, and culpepper as well. Hearing reports of it on wgop radio this evening. Not only that but some rain showers moving through the area. Rain here in parts of Southern Maryland down to around the fredricksburg area and the northern neck. Showers will continue to favor areas south and east of washington overnight tonight, but we could get some rain here in the district as well. Youll see this on future weather. Im starting you off at midnight. Notice some scattered showers in the metro area but again, most of the rain is to the south and east. As we move toward 7 00 a. M. , well, all of the showers, most of the showers pretty much out of the area, but it will be cloudy. And then for most of the Morning Hours tomorrow were looking dry. Future weather wants to bring in a few scattered showers around the midday and early afternoon hours, but i think well make it until about 3 00 before we really start to track rain moving back into the area. And then showers continue at times sunday night and then monday, well, its just a rainy day. Pretty much from start to finish. Even some pockets of heavier rain around monday morning. So your hour byhour for tomorrow, 48 degrees at 7 00 a. M. Still fog and maybe a shower around at that point. Lunchtime mainly dry but oversxas low 50s. Then we hang out in the low 50s for the afternoon and evening hours. 53 degrees at 3 00 p. M. And by 7 00 p. M. Scattered showers still likely. And were at 52. Right now, though, temperatures are in the 40s. 48 in washington and leesburg. 46 for those of you in frederick. As we look to your monday, the morning commute, well, we have heavy rain around. It could be a slow go. You want to keep that in mind. Recess for the kids on monday likely indoors. The evening commute, maybe a shower. And if youre thinking about heading to one of the local ski resorts, i was planning on doing that on monday, rain is in the forecast. So probably not the best idea to go. On monday more rain. Heavy rain at times. We could see around an inch. 56. Windy on monday and tuesday as well. Tuesday a high of really nice on wednesday. And then, guys, well, next weekend its feeling more like january with highs in the upper 30s and low 40s. All right. Now were talking. Thank you, amelia.
