This rather. This is maryland 450 and annapolis road at church road closed down for the repair here. Mike andrea . Thank you tranice. Today d. C. Lawmakers will probably get an earful from members of the public Advocacy Group public citizens. Theyre calling on the d. C. Council to quote pull the plug on a exelon pepco merger. Todays hearing coming a day after the report from the ohio based think tank which says the merger would have a negative impact on the city and its residents. Reporter Delia Goncalves is live outside the buildson building the site of todays hearing. Good morning. Reporter good morning and that study is what they needed. Thats the fuel behind the argument that a lot of folks will make today at city council. They will talk to City Council Members and urge them to ditch this deal because it will be bad for the two million customers of pepco in this region. Because it all boils down to more money that you may have to pay for your energy. Thats what they are arguing. And this Energy Think Tank just released its study and found that a merger between pepco and exelon would result in rate hikes and it would also undermine d. C. s environmental initiatives. Exelon is the largest owner of Nuclear Plants in the United States. It hopes to buy pepco for 6. 4 billion but get this, thats about 2 billion more than its current assets. So analysts say the only way the already struggling company can make up that cost . Is to pass it on to the customers. And that means potential rate hikes. But proponents of the merger say listen, people have been complaining about pepco for years. Finally a solution comes along and youre still not happy . Well, you want to know who those people are. And i will let you know coming up in the next half hour. Back to you in the studio. Raise my rates i wont be happy. No. No. Pretty easy. Thats easy equation. All right delia thank you.

In our question of the day 11 of people say they missed work because of bad weather. Maybe more this weekend into monday morning. We dont yet if its going to be a little bit or problem but think about monday morning with even a little bit of snow during the morning roush is a problem around here. Yeah and first things first though we have a storm system coming for the weekend overnight into the first half of saturday which will have probably more rain than snow. In that regard you might or knot might not like that. Further might not like that. Further north and west you are the more problems you have with snow street and freezing rain. Make it really difficult to forecast exactly how much but im going to take my best guest at it. Guess at it. Mostly snow for the precipitation type there. Along the line and up into pennsylvania and the mountains. Then knot of thatter north of that orange area, you get closer to i935 some vain and snow mixed. That will cut down the snow totals and south and east this is not your storm by any stretch. How much . Well, this is what im thinking right now. Again if im off by how long the snow is going to be lasting morlings then those thoughals are going to be off but two to four in the favorited areas. Trace and maybe an inch in the metro and im leaning more to the trace if that in washington. One to two though in the northwestern suburbs and westminster, you get some of the Higher Elevations west of 81. Two, three, four inches will be possible certainly. For today of the day. With temperatures will be you know in the 20s now. Boy what a beautiful sunrise we have going on here shortly. Is up is up at 7 21. And 41 at noon. By Late Afternoon evening, we should get through most of the day all right. Futurecast shows lunchtime is okay. As we head toward 5 00 p. M. , d. C. South and west, were seeing some rain and a wintry mix in the colder air to the south and west. And i think most of this almost pubbing away will be pulling away by midday tomorrow. Even tomorrow rain may end as a brief period of snow but probably wont add up to much. 43 today. Tonight, probably that yellow alert in effect for tomorrow. With the mainly morning rain and snow. 40. Sunday is okay. 46. But sunday night monday, thats when we watch another clipper threatening monday morning and tuesday cold and for the plunk fest at sandy point plunge fest at sandy point tomorrow.
