As for the delays, fredericksburg city and Stafford County schools will open two hours late. Right now, lets turn to meteorologist chuck bell for a look at the forecast this morning. 20 degrees right now outside the studios. It feels nowhere near as cold as it was. Dulles and bwi set record low temperatures. Bwi marshall fell to plus one yesterday morning. National airport, the record was 5 and we only made it to 8 degrees.

That little wave of moisture back out to our west as it tries to come in here. The cloud cover moves in first and steals out a warmup. Any bit of light rain that comes down is likely to freeze on contact. Even as late as 6 00, when the radar shows mostly rain, any cold surface will be able to support a little bit in the way of ice in it. This comes to an end after 9 00 or 10 00 this evening. It is not going to be a warm day to be outside today. Were only in the upper teens to 20 now. Well struggle mightily today to get up to maybe 32 or 3 degrees. But, again, just because were above freezing doesnt mean we cant still have ice on the han for more on all the traffic troubles that you deal with this morning, lets go to melissa. Good morning.

What could this mean for riders . How is it going to work . Reporter imagine this, eun.

Thats been an issue. This is a signal from the Transit Agency, a t Transit Agency and give them confidence in the fact that theyre going to get where they need to go on time. The caveat here is what does ontime really mean. Thats what metro will have to define. Do you wait at the platform for a couple of minutes.

A way to win back riders to the system. Metro is doing this because they really have confidence in their system. Thats what theyre putting forward this morning, guys. Adam, do you know if there will be a cap on the refunds. A lot of passengers would say, this would be every other day for me, to get credit on my card . Reporter at this point, the general manager has to define things. Hes working on details. Theoretically, you could get a refund every time you are more than 15 minutes late. Be day after day. Well have to see how the general manager defines the terms. Thats coming up at a Board Meeting this week. Adam tuss live for us. Its one of hollywoods biggest nights.

Or any day for that matter. Weve got School Districts in virginia closing. Fairfax went the extra mile and theyre worried about having buses on the road when youre calling for icy roads. It doesnt take that much freezing rain, even a little glaze sometimes. In addition to making the roads slippery, watch out. If it looks wet later on today, assume that its ice. Dont think the handrails will save you. They may be as coated as the stairs themselves. Outside, its almost mostly cloudy morning very cold yet again. 20 degrees. 23 for a high yesterday.

Heres the moisture back out to the west. Mostly light snow in pennsylvania and ohio. But this again as it comes east and gets into this slightly warmer air. That is the reason for at least a chance anyway. Nothing happening this morning. Any of that could be a light glazing of freezing rain during the afternoon. If you need just a little bit milder weather, we get that tomorrow and wednesday. A lot milder mid to upper 50s thursday, friday and saturday. That does come with a rain chance.

Reporter good morning, aaron. This is a huge change for metro. Think about this. Youre more than 15 minutes late and they are now willing to give you a full credit back on your smart trip card or a credit on whatever pass youre using. A massive change for the Transit Agency. This is a plan thats going to be unveiled at a Board Meeting this morning. If it gets full approval, it could take effect by the end of the month. So many people have been stuck in med metro delays over and over again. Thats something that the Transit Agency is starting to figure needs to be adjusted and there needs to be something given back to the riders. Metro is down 100,000 trips per week day for riders on the rail system. The general manager is starting to realize that he needs to do something to win those riders back. What does this all mean . Minutes late, hell get a credit on your smart trip card. This is about winning riders back to the system and the Transit Agency believes it has confidence now to do this. To make this adjustment, because trains and buses are running on time according to them. The one thing well have to watch, guys, what defines on time. What defines 15 minutes . Is it the amount of time on the platform. The general manager has to set those parameters. This is still a massive change that the Transit Agency is talking about. Back to you. Adam, im curious too about what triggers this refund . Will people have to ask for the money back or is it automatic somehow . The smart trip is pretty advanced, aaron. They can tell what station you tapped into and what station you capped out of, the time you got in and out. It will be a credit that goes right back. But, well have to define that late could that be Something Like your trip is 25 minutes late. Metro has to define what that is to make sure riders understand when theyll be getting that refund back. One thing we should say, metro thinks this is a small percentage of people that are actually 15 minutes late most of of the time. A very, very small percentage. But well see. Adam tuss. Live for us this morning on the metro changes. Big deal, adam. Thank you. I want to turn to chicago now. Show you images here.

But before then, im having to read up on it. 20 degrees in washington. Just a little bit of a breeze. Its out of the south. Its a big improvement for sure. Although the wind dhils are down in the single numbers to 10 degrees. Theres the moisture were this isnt going to be a big event, the problem is, were so cold and the ground is so frozen solid, that anything that falls will stick. It may come down as a little sleet or snow first. Some light snow showers up near martinsburg and winchester. Up into the mountains of West Virginia. Winter weather advisory for all the shaded counties. Basically everywhere north of Prince William county, Prince Georges County, points north of the masondixon line. Only places not affected are across southern maryland. Heres your weather. A dry morning. Clouds coming in very quickly. Full overcast by noon. Thats problem number one. Because it will really slow down any ability to get above the freezing marng. Even though its showing rain here, it may be falling on to frozen surfaces. Thats the reason for the concern here. Starting as early as late morning to lunchtime. Again, the rain here. It doesnt take into the fact that the ground is so cold. All this will be coming to an end probably not that long after 7 00 or 8 00 this evening. Heres the tenday. Today may be the last weather alert day for a while.
