why do they keep getting quoted? we had 41 degrees with yesterday's high. today through sunday, we're going to hit the low 40s again. the monday/tuesday issue will be a storm with more ice and rain. the chance of an all snow event is slim to none. we're looking at a dry one maryland's most powerful doppler radar. 34 in perry hall. a few slick spots out there. to talk about that, here is a look at the commute with kim brown. >> thanks, justin. we have reports of ice in a variety of places. fortunately, no incidents around the beltway on the inner or outer loop. no real problems here on 83 looking clean light to moderate volume as you make your way southbound. we did have a problem in laurel. that's still persisting at the b.w. parkway and route 198 because of ice. they have that closed and are waiting for crews to come to treat the roadways. northbound at the fort mchenry tunnel, we have a disabled vehicle blocking the toll plaza. one lane at the toll plaza. that earlier crash past white marsh boulevard. looking here at the travel times, no problems on the outer loop between 795 taking you a few minutes there. 95 southbound running a few minutes late because people are still gawking at that other accident. on the 895 outer loop between 695 -- i'm sorry, 95 split to the bw parkway looking good. no problems here downtown, jamie and megan, back to you. she has laid out some demands for tiger. laid out some things that she wants him to do, and she's kind of holding the cards right now. >> since thanksgiving, the media has followed elin every step since she learned about her husband's infidelities. that's the big story this morning. >> the word is that she is in the building, so to speak, but she's not going to stand by her man at least for now. >> you have to wait and see. the world's best golfer is expected to speak at 11:00 for about five minutes take nothing questions. here's what linda so is saying others are saying. linda?

>> yes. i think it's for show. i think he's trying to rehabilitate his image, and there's nothing wrong with that. i just don't think we should be a party to it. i think this really is a private matter between him and elin. >> reporter: talking about elin, do you think she should be there?
