His mor she was all worried about me aum getting to work. W she worries about you. Wor i think shes watching. Hi, mrs. Mcgrady. My home life is greatife is comparing to coming in hereiner and dealing with them. T my gosh. Winter storm warning backorm out to the west of us. Winter weather advisory inn place this morning up and down r i95. More snow is com ing. Now is coming. This is kind of a crazy stormras because its going to go snowo s and then were going get a snow sleet, then well go to sleet freezing rain and theneezi well go freezing rain andreez tomorrow its going to be all tl rain, maybe some thunder, too,dt in the area. 21 degrees in d. C. Right now. Gaithersburg 1 18. 19 for baltimore. Timo. Here are the main points this storm. This storm. There are a lot of them. Arlot mostly light to moderate snowe s today. I dont really see any heavy legitimate heavy snow, okay. W, o there may be a snow burst heret or there but i dont really real see heavy snow with this. Now, then were going to go to later on this afternoon, itsoo going to go snow to snow and sw sleet probably 4, 5 oclock in that time frame, something f like that and then were goingth to go from the snow and sleetle over to kind of a mixture of a o sleet to freezing rain andtoez that will be happening by midnight, okay. Kay. And then overnight tonightonig its going to just become b freezing rain. R pretty much areawide, too, sowis well have some Ice Accumulation possibletion psibl overnight tonight before thehe temperatures will topill top 32 degrees and were expectingei that to happen during the overnight hours and into i tomorrow morning. Mni and i think the last places tost change over and get above 32 ab3 are going to be thehe northwestern counties and northwestern suburbs. Ub heres where we see the tapered off north and west andnd then north and northeast, too so the only places its snowing lightly here in thetly city, down i95 and off to the e east to the bay so thats theha only place were getting gti accumulating snow. Mulatino some moderate snowfall swf southern Charles County down into northern sections of Saint Marys County and thenou south of that, okay. Ka all this is shifting to the east. It is looking like what weretre going to end up with iss probably between aboutbout 8 oclock this morning andornina 11 oclock this morning, theorn, snow will fill back in, okay. Ka. Again, flog too terriblyn, floo heavy. So heres what were thinkingek right now. Right now. Up and down i95 out to the bay two to 4 inches. 4 inc western neighborhoods,oods northwestern neighborhoods four to six along that i811 corridor and higherr elevations. Back to the west in this four to six zone i dont believent e everybody gets four to 6inches of snow. F s i think theres going to beoing good pockets of up to four too 6inches of snow and thats and going to be about it. Ing to something i wanted to showd s you, too, because this i of an ice storm briefly overnight tonight so were we talking about maybe as much as a quarter of an inch of accumulated ice for theseorhe northwestern counties. Esrn cou these are going object last places to get above 32 ave 3 tomorrow morning so this iso where some ice may accumulate. L once the ice accumulates andulaa the rain comes in, then the tn vein going to melt everythinglte out. Its going to melt out all the e snow as well. S well havewe, again, all of thet winter that we could possibly have, all of the different winter scenarios coming incena over the next 24 hours or so here. Here. Highs today making it up to t about 31 degrees or so. Ro. Well stay below freezing andinn all snow. Erin como is in. Obviously this morning itis mor would be not erin. Rin. Back over to the anchors.

Officials warn the wintryintr weather could cause changes. Metro buses will be operating on a a saturday schedule withulw some late night trips canceled on select routes. Tes. But in the here and now, n this is what were dealinge with. With. Look at this outside on theisuti roads. Road now, you cant really i i mean maybe you can it mighttg not look that bad right nowig but if youre out and about a driving in this you have to beve really, really careful. Cef its slick. Slick because it is slick. S i was driving on riveras d road. I late to keep picking on pickio river road but it was thewas worst of my whole commute. So, im driving on river roadvi 59 to stop for a stop light, l right. Ght. Uhhuh. I almost didnt get get uglied no at all y usually ul put on my brakes, i kind ofid just coast night. Night but trying to get out. O ge out oh, yeah. Oh, just trying to start againo r i could hardly do it. I its a rough morning. Or i mean a lot of roads i o think people are seeingre that kind of condition ond ofon roads. Yeah, stay home, stay home. Om luckily a lot of people canpe today. Stay home. H could you imagine if this was a normal monday morning . cause youd have a lot mored traffic h and youd have a lot more problems. Mo problem erin would have a very busyus morning. Mo not that shes going have anv very busy morning already but it would just be off. B couple of things we got to we go keep an eye on. Snow breaking down to the north and west. And w newest modeling is in. Ill show it to you in a you second maybe hinting at theaybe fact that northwestern areashwee probably not going to get t g maybe as much snow as what wehat had forecast so again well watch the trend. Tnd once everything startsg tart falling, thats what we starte s doing is kind of watching the trend and then comparing themen to the new modeling thats mod coming in, see whats happening and see what werean going to end up with. 21 degrees right now here in riw the city. Ci plenty cold enough obviously all across the area and were aw right on the bubble from where e we can actually get they treatment on the roads to doon r its job. S. So, well continue to warm upm u just a little bit. It. Here is the deal. The main points for today. Orod mostly light snow to moderate snow today. I dont see heavy snow. Snow to sleet well,ell, actually snow to a snow sleet st by Late Afternoon, okay. Te o then were going to go snow sleet over to some sleet and some freezing rain andfrzing looks like all that will w happen by midnight and thennd t after midnight tonight, withht, the freezing rain ongoing, wen , watch the surface temperature,re how quickly will places get above 32 degrees and thatsha going to dictate how much ice i accumulation we get but weut will get ice accumulating,ulati, okay. Okay. I dont think the worst of that is going to be i95. Ing to the worst of it will be westes and northwest simply becausey bu the temperatures will stayill s colder longer. On this just came in. Me on our modeling here. Here. So, you can get an idea of what we have and this itss doing perfect technological. Ec we call this initializing. So, its initializing perfectly with whats actuallysa happening in the atmosphere. Tmor snow is i95 off to the east now. Now. Light north and west. Now, the last nights modelhtsm runs that came in were seeing this little lull and then ittl was bringing all the snow backes up over the area but look but l whats happening now. s h by 8 00 a. M. , snow kind of is is staying where it is, still not t filling into the north and the west. If this trend continues wellene have to lower the snow amountswn back out to the north and thende west. We. And then it does that finallyhat start to bring the snow across the area by late morning, morni early afternoon, okay. On, o we watch this transition lineion very, very closely. Clo this is 1 oclock. 1lock were still all snow. re st beginning to get into ain transition for southernon southn maryland. As early as 3, 4, 5 oclock, olk were starting to see that snow sleet combination move innv so Late Afternoon i think is a good time fr by Late Afternoon south andte east most of yourn guys aresre going freezing rain hereeeziai depending on where the temperatures are still at thethe surface. You may be right on the bubblenb but here along the i95 Corridor North and west were w still firming below 32 degreesgs so this transitions into a into mixture and then eventually evey freezing rain even ateeng r 11 oclock tonight, i think most of this west and northwest of i95 will still s be freezing rain with some accumulating ice there andhere d then a mixture of still all little bit of sleet and snowsled possibly back up north of o hagerstown into pennsylvania. So, that and as we get into over past midnight tonight everything just kindvein of transitions eventually intouy rain by tomorrow and tomorrow morning. Morning. Snow down, this is current temperature current temperature not current cur temperatures but current radarur showing where the light snow sgw now still light snow north and west but its so light weret l not really seeing it and again a the trend has been most of thee snow the last couple hours to the south of us. The heres the forecast. Oras 21 degrees at 8 00 a. M. A the area, light snow at noontime and by eight laughter o starting to transition intoitio the snow and sleet. And sl temperature still below freezing but still getting sti closer to freezing. Heres, with a look at yourour traffic. Fi who is busier you and me. M i think its equal. Qu you dont have yourou producer so thats making it recover. Re checked in with maryland i state highway. Theyre letting us know on nnowo twitter theyre out plowingeyr and salting but pavementut pavet temperatures are in the lowes a 20s. 20s use extreme caution if yoution i have to travel. To so, again, if you have anyny questions andrea just reached out to me on twitter shett she wanted to know how things werene looking on gw clara barton. Ar since theres not much traffic out and about the best advice a i can give anyone is to takeo it slow, use a lot of caution,fn watch for slick spotsckpo especially bridges overpasses op on and offramps, 33 tend ice e first. My best advice andrea leave lve early and seeing yellow and road over o our map around the dmv. D despite the fact its quiet trafficwise. Lets switch it over for a for look at outside.
