Reporter she said he followed her in his mini van, then got out and went after her. He wasnt walking out of his car. He swung open the door and started walking towards me fast. Reporter earlier that afternoon here along south park avenue in the commercial part of Friendship Heights a man driving a maroon suv approached a 13yearold girl and started asking questions including her name. Its terrifying. Ying. I have a teenage daughter. Its terrifying. Its a shame our children cant just go out and be safe.

Children. But we begin with Winter Weather, what a mess in the midwest, heavy snow, ice, thunderstorms pounding several states. In many areas they saw a foot of snow already on the ground. Part of that storm system is marching our way. Thanks for joining us tonight. Im brian bolter. Im shawn yancy. Fortunately here were not expecting heavy snowfall, but that storm could still cause some problems tomorrow morning. Sue palka is in the Weather Center now. There might be a little spotty prescription around in the morning. I think that would be in the form of snow and sleet. The better chance might be for the evening commute. I want to emphasize anything we get will be light, but when it comes to sleet, light can cause some problems. Thats why well highlight this. By the time this thing is done, it will have affected half of the country or portions of 24 or 25 states, but what you see here, all the heavy snow and precipitation in the form of thunderstorms down to the south is beginning to s
Mid30s and transition most of this to plain old light rain and drizzle. To be honest, it will be a slow go, particularly west of town, where temperatures now are in the mid20s. 34 at reagan national. 31 at dulles. 32 bwi marshall. These temperatures should warm up a little later today as that warmer air up in the upper layers of the atmosphere work their way down. Theres your Winter Weather advisory. Nothing locally along the 95 corridor. Western maryland, west virginia, and western virginia, advisory until 10 00 tomorrow morning. Main concern there is icing. If youre traveling in that direction, if youre a viewer out there, be ready for the potential for icing later. 37 in washington. Cloudy skies. Wintry mix. Not expecting a lot in the way of accumulations. Could be enough to cause a little coating or icing in spots. Particularly this afternoon if youre traveling, be ready for that possibility. More on the weather coming up in just a minute. Back to you at the desk. Tucker, thank you
The way today. Around our region there is one school delay to pass along now. Page county virginia schools are on a twohour delay. Thats page county, virginia, twohour delay. Tucker barnes joining us now. All that snow, but nothing here. All that video we saw, were going to experience nothing like that around here. We might get a little something, little wintry mix later this morning and afternoon hours, but were not talking about whiteout conditions. You can see how scattered the precipitation is. It is cold enough to support Winter Weather at this hour. Towards charlottesville starting to get possible echos of a little snow. Honestly, much of this probably wont touch the ground over the near term as the atmosphere is still very dry. Weve had the cold air around here the last couple of days. We got to moisten up the atmosphere before this can reach the ground. Temperatures are cold enough to support a little Winter Weather. 32 at Reagan National. Dulles is 30 degrees. Bwi marshall is
Mix on the way. There you go. There is a look at your radar. We have indeed clouded up overnight. Temperatures are cold. We are below freezing here even in washington. We are just 32 degrees so setting the stage to a light wintry mix event to start i think particularly if you are out to the west here over the next couple of hours and by late morning, early afternoon, well probably get some of that in washington. We are not expecting a lot of moisture. This will not be a major storm for us. However, temperatures recently have been on the cold side. And some of this moisture that falls into the region here in the form of snow, maybe sleet, maybe a little freezing rain could cause some issues for the evening commute. I think your morning commute will be fine but that evening commute could be challenging in some spots. It will arrive late morning early afternoon here locally. If you are out to the west, it is already starting to fall. I think they will have more of an impact out west earli
