stormwatch7's c find out if we have seen the last of the snow. i was pretty while it was sticking around. doug: for now we have seen the last of it. a few hours ago we were loaded up with the snowshowers across doppler radar but that has moved out. let me move over to show what it looks like in rockville. this image is indicative of what it is like across most of the area with clear skies. we are 20 minutes from sunset here. a few bands of clouds on the northeastern horizon. 31 degrees in rockville. this everything the skies will stay clear for a while. rapid increase in cloudiness overnight will be down to 32 at 9:00 in the morning. as we head back to the early morning hours we will keep an eye on the next weather disturbance through the area. the core will stay to the north. we think the best chance for any slick spots and the roadways will be north of the metro washington area. temperatures wise 24 to 30 when you get up with light snow developing in the morning rush hour. that is what we are watching. the future cast shows a band sweeps through. the main area f comes through later in the morning probably 6:30 or 7:00. most of it will stay just north and west of the metro area. any more snow chances after that? believe it or not we have a big warmup coming here first tomorrow afternoon. we'll highlight ten days in a row for you coming up in about seven minutes. alison: sounds good, doug. thank you. meanwhile, new developments today in the case against deonte carraway. maryland bureau chief brad bell was in the courtroom when carraway admitted his

horrible truths about the indecent acts involving their own children. carraway recorded on his cell phone camera. those parents left court without comment. but the grand parent of a child who had been in contact with carraway says she is too angry to be silent. >> i think he betried us as parents -- betried -- betrayed us. brad: they agreed to let carraway plead guilty to 15 counts and mandatory sentence of 60 to 100 years in prison for one reason. >> it relieves the children of the risk of having to testify in federal trial. brad: carraway admits while working at a volunteer at judge sylvania elementary school, and as a glenarden youth choir director he repeatedly abused 12 children up until he was caught last february. this woods elementary school parent offering this message to carraway. >> you hurt a lot of people. you hurt a lot of people. brad: well, back live now at the federal district courthouse in greenbelt. you are looking at deonte carraway's signature on the plea agreement. this is the document he officially used to plead guilty. he will be sentenced in june. 60 to 100 years is the sentencing range. he is 23 years old. the u.s. attorney says effectively this means he will spend the rest of his life behind bars. in greenbelt, brad bell, abc7 news. jonathan: thanks. coming up for us here at "abc7 news at 5:00" -- the impact of this weekend's deadly mosque

they look toward the future. as the salon on main street, they are back in business. but still recovering. >> today is feeling the station tops. that a part we have been putting off. part of this whole process of coming back is a lot of little things. >> in july, the building foundation was washed away. since then like many businesses they have had to rebuild, remodel and reopen. they open their doors in november. so far, 73 of the 90 businesses closed have been able to reopen. >> it's a real testament to everybody across the country of what you can do when you put your mind to it and you come together as a community. >> on the six-month anniversary, county executive kittleman cri >> i still get frustrated when someone says should we be doing anything down? it's over a river. folks, ellicott city is going to be great for a long, long, long time. way past all of us here. >> which is why back at the salon, they don't talk about the flood anymore. only the future. >> come

ellicott city, abc7 news. jonathan: thank you. here you wake up and it was picturesque. we had a little snow and gone by 2:00. alison: that is the kind of snow we like. it doesn't mess up your commute. doug: the roads were pretreated and the temperatures were borderline. all roadways were wet. a slick spot or two. tomorrow morning the areas get a little dusting again but it will be eight to ten degrees cold sore likely. our challenge is to find out what spots are likely to see it. we think it's north of the washington area. show you time lapse of the belle haven country club. it's 33 degrees there now. as we go through the day, the sun would come out. clouds would come through. we have a few more snowshowers here and there and snow flurries. skies cleared out and stayed cleared out. that is the story for most of the evening. if you have outdoor plans, dinner, movie theater, buy a nice gift for doug, whatever you have planned, skies are clear. but late tonight the clouds roll back in and tomorrow morning we have part two of the system. a different system. another adventure with the possibility of light snow. look at the numbers. if you are just getting home from work this is what we piled up as far as the local reports. dale city is 2.6 inches of snow. charles county, 2.5. falls church, over an inch. the zoo in washington, national zoo, 1.1. calvert county one inch. half an in baltimore area, no snow at all in many locations. in the 30s for a while tonight. still breezy at times. later tonight the temperatures drop in the 120's. the -- the temperatures drop in the 20's. we have low pressure that is extending through the northeast. most of it will make a pass toward pennsylvania. that is why we are confident that most of the snow will wind up north of the metro area, north of the baltimore metro area as well. but this time around the temperatures much colder so that means a likelihood as the snow falls that could cause icy passes and the slick spots. especially the closer you are to the pennsylvania line and farther west in maryland at the higher elevations. that is what we are seeing now. steve rudin will be in at 11:00 to update the timing and the facts but we're all on the same page with this. this future cast shows area of the light snow across the baltimore metro area at 2:30 in the morning, passing to the northeast. another batch ahead of the warm front swinging in closer to 6:00, 6:30, 7:00, 7: the morning and that's when i think we have the lowest temperatures of the day. but after that passes by it will change quickly. winds from the south and a big warmup in the afternoon. the way we see it in the stormwatch7 weather center. this darker shade is the demarcation of the best chances of dusting to cause issues traveling and a small area to the south. it's north of the washington area, north and northeast of the ballot m metro area through the morning. as the front gets through, the winds gust up to 15, 20 miles per hour. it will push temperatures out of the 20's. close to 40 in -- 50 in the afternoon as the storm center will turn southwesterly. later in the day they will come to the west and that will clear things out for us temporarily. we will watch a cold front come through wednesday with a chance of an afternoon shower. comfortably mild on wednesday. then more seasonably cold moves in for the rest of the week and the the sun come out and then it's like two seasons. then the next few days the temperatures in the 40's. we will turn colder later in the week but as we extend to the first full week of february this is what we see. the temperatures are warming up to 50 wednesday and thursday. i should point out we are keeping eyes wide open for sunday, sunday evening. the possibility of a wintry mix. slow, sleet, rain, something like that. jonathan: do you want to share how much and how fond you are on punxsutawney phil? doug: you will find out wednesday. are you working wednesday afternoon? jonathan:
