I dont know, jim, what would you like to talk about . Sunshine . No. O. I think its easy to get complacent and say winter passed us by. At least hopeful. Ian people who are so excited for the snow. I think it has been becauseen the winter has been kind of calm. Be careful what you ask for. Its coming in one big swoopg right down our area. You know were not alone. The entire mid atlantic well, mid atlantic north, northeast i should say is really going to get hit by h this storm systemrs p. P. Tonight, not much happening. Its cold out there, though, an, thats one of the factors, the cold artic air mass is that in place as this noreaster preparee to develop right off the coast and we start to see whats happening, start to pullo everything together for you. Weve been saying right along that the heaviest snow is going to be to the north, northwest of our area. Ou you can see the line that is going to head right up toward no. New england and theyre going to get battered a as well. These are not set in stone because you know as a few variables start to come in we can make some changes here. 8 to 12 inches is what we call the sweat spots. Heres where we are talking the heaviest snowfall is anticipated to be. E. From d. C. Through were lookingk at four to 8 inches and then we have a corridor to the east ofst us of two to four and then one two to the south that. The rain snow line is going to set up to the east of d. C. D. C the warmer air is going to happen. And to the south well see somee rain and then well see somell s wintry mix. The Northern Areas of course will get the snowfall. We do have a winter storm watcht in effect. This is from monday night to tuesday afternoon, prince georgesafte county, anne arrun, stafford county, all encompassed in this and we have a winter storm warning. Stor this is for a greater area, ase, you can see. This from 7 00 p. M. Monday until 2 00 p. M. On tuesday. So areas to the far northwest win this warning could see anywhere from 8 to even 10 or 12 inches of snowfall. Areas more to the east will see less than that. Nonetheless, the warn when we look at how the numberse start adding up. We have two numbers that we keep an eye on. On. This is the gss, the american mold. This model wants to kick in numbers from 11 to 14 inches. And then we have from the d. C. Corridor 8 to 9 inches. Of course as we go more to the east theyve brought their number up to about p 5. This model also wants to bring this in all just a little bit faster than europe mold. The europe model on the other hand a little bit lower with the models to the far northwest. Hwes theyre talking 1 inches. Nc the models are kind of very, very far off from each other right now. Righ were going to see how that kind of comes together. Heres your timeline, 6 00 we start to see precipitationecip moving n. Warning kicks in at 7. Thats when the snow starts toow move its way up heading up tong the northeast. Heres 12 midnight, overnight hours, the darker blue, the heavier snowfall kicks in the overnight hours. Heres the rain snow line. The rainfall where the warmer air is kicking in. By 3 in the morning we start to see the rain snowfall move aai little bit towards the districtn as t thehe system pulse away wee going to get the rap around snowfall still continuing to the morning hours. Morn by the time we get to 3, 4 00 it starts to pull out. Were talking about it arriving from 7 to 9. The rain snow line to the southeast aint tapering off by tuesday in the afternoon hours. The variables of course are the track, the temperatures and then timing of it and whether thathat ra snow line shifts or no. Thats a big question for us. Very much on the chilly side. Were in the 20s and the low 30s right across the board. The cold air will be anothernoth factor as to whether it stays in place and for us tonight very ve cold as we cant get out of the 20s or the low tomorrow midday it with will be 37 degrees. Increase by the 4 00. Dont forget all of that isat going to be moving in by tomorrow night. Heres a look at your seven day forecast. By the time we get to tuesday night and wednesday, take a look at overnight lowes, into the 20s. And the 30s. The problem with that is any moisture has a chance to refreeze so we could be talking about black ice and a situation that could be a little slippery on roads and highways. I should say bridges and overpasses as well and roads and that are not treated. Another note, the snow is not good for those cherry blossoms. O thats a bit of a downer. Owne oh, boy. Well have to watch and see, but theyre in the stages ofages bloom already. Its not looking good. Coming up next, sports . Yep, the caps are down a player against the duck. Inst well tell you why.

The caps versus the ducks, the new guy suspended two games fore this hit in last nights loss to the kinks. The caps entering the pond which there. They were scoreless after the first period, but in the Second Period the ducks send it up thep left side. Slightly deflected by corey co perry but then you see the goes past the glove the.
