Concerns for slippery roads tonight. Lets get to sue palka whos standing by with the latest on the forecast. The bigger problems will be where you had the more substantial snow and that is most of our Northern Counties where we had 2 to 6 inches earlier today. Very wet, heavy snow and not all of it melted during the day. A little bit of that moisture may be around as caitlin was just out in front of northwest dc a little bit ago, it looked pretty dry there. We do think that it will be a lot colder tonight and ice and that refreeze will be the concern. Not to mention theres still a few flurries out there tonight. Ill show you those on radar in a moment. We are down to 28 in gaithersburg, 31 for dulles. Martins burg youre at 28. Hagerstown 27. A lot of those places to the north have some snow pack around and here in dc 33 degrees weve been maintaining that for the last few hours. I do think well head down to 28 tonight and maybe mid 20s in the suburbs. Just want to show you there are sti

But what was wet could be icy in the morning and a freeze is likely tonight. We expect it to be much colder tonight than it was last night, already down to three here in the district, 29 at hagerstown, so here its already colder than it was last night and those spots could be icy. Heres where were expecting to drop to overnight. 26 in frederick, about 30 at quantico. Something el
Having to pass along frederick country and Public Schools theyre opening two hours late today. Again, frederick country Public Schools on two hour delay. And the freezing temperatures could make for a slick commute for some drivers. Overnight flurries combined with yesterday snow could cause icy spots. Fox5 annie yu is out and about checking things out for us. Annie how is it going . Hey, good morning, we are now on 270 headed south towards the city and it looks pretty good i mean traffic is picking up and roadways itselves looks g slick spots here and there thanks to mix of rain and snow overnight depending where you are. But its not bad at all. Like gary mptioned by the time the majority of folks actually get up and get going they probably wont even know that we had snow.
