Skies. As you grab that car door handle or maybe as you head to the bus stop. As we roll through the afternoon it is going to be a warm one. Were going for that high of 89 degrees at 3 oclock. And as we go in through the afternoon look for a gusty thunderstorm but more importantly those drenching downpours. Not everybody sees them but if you do you want to slow it down because they could produce quick rising water on poor drainage area roadways. Matt pelman the end of this humid pattern is ahead in the accuweather 7day. Details coming up. David i would not like to be doing Road Construction in this heat and humidity but the crews were out and about lots of them overnight. One of the crews was blocking the ramp from the northbound side of 95 to the westbound side of the vine street expressway. As you can see, that ramp is reopened now and ready for you. Same with the vine itself over by the schuylkill. All the crews have cleared out in both directions. They will return tonight at 11 ocl

Snowstorm of the year. He did not complain of the cancellation of school because of the snow but he will complain about what is falling. I was hoping for snow. Vdot started planning. We started planning yesterday when they said snow. Operations manager Keith Washington this is an exciting moment. Has been coordinating personnel and plows nonstop. Vdot will deploy 900 pieces of equipment including 35 trucks dedicated to i95. Be patient and give us a chance to get out there. Thursday afternoon, fredericksburg schools along with other counties canceled all afternoon activities sending students home in a hurry. Im glad i get to go home in a hurry. The right decision because safety comes first. Because of all the rain weve had the past couple of days and today vdot did not pretreat the roads with chemicals, they would have melted away. Instead, all the plow trucks are filled with sand ready to hit the roads at a moments notice. Thank you, jeff. This lack of snow in maryland is coming up as
Grey skies but it still looks dry. Storm team4 meterologist tom kierein joins us with the first forecast. Whens the snow coming, tom . It looks like later this afternoon. Weve had rain persistly falling all morning long along i95 and areas south and east of there and right in washington, points north and west and a few scattered sprinkles off and on throughout the morning hours. All of this coming from a developing area of low pressure, centered over atlanta, georgia, on the backside of that, western side, you can see all the white is snow. Now pulling out of mississippi to alabama and snow farther north, eastern kentucky, southern West Virginia and some snow in far eastern West Virginia east of petersberg and on the virginia and West Virginia line along the Shenandoah Valley. We may be getting to start seeing some snow. Rape changing to snow right along the blue ridge west of leesburg near percentleville and then down to east of lor ray. And the wet snowflakes showing up. Elsewhere, s
Now broadcasting from his dashboard camera in his mobile newsroom with a look at the conditions along u. S. 301. Hey, scotty. Reporter hey, it really was one of those just in case kind of days. As topper just reported, its nasty out here, 39 degrees, a little rain spitting, but as you can see behind me here, u. S. 301, the Homecoming Traffic is getting by just fine, but just in case the highway crews have already spread salt on this road because of the possibility of a little frozen stuff coming down later tonight. This is certainly not what School Officials thought they would see this afternoon for the rush hour when they made the call to send kids home early. Thomas Stone High School in waldorf released its 1,500 students at 12 15 this afternoon, not a snowflake in sight but at the time a winter storm warning was still in effect forcing School Officials to play it safe should the afternoon rush turn ugly. Students were divided on the call. I think they did a good thing because we nee
