What thousands of Border Agents are doing at the frontline. Doug has a more detailed look at the forecast breaking down the snow hour byour right haf announcer while everyone discusses the future of health care, 18 million americans are already choosing it. With Medicare Advantage a proven publicprivate partnership, where Health Outcomes are valued over volume. Where Early Intervention and management of chronic conditions is leading to better outcomes. And costs are more predictable and affordable. Why do so many seniors choose Medicare Advantage . Maybe because with age comes wisdom. Medicare advantage. Leading the way. Tonight the white house says the Congressional Budget Office is all wrong when it comes to its analysis of the House Republicans health care bill. The cbo estimates the plan would leave 14 million m year. Within ten years, that would be up to 24 million. The Justice Department asked for more time to respond to a congressional investigation into President Trumps unproven claim that former president barack Obama Wiretapped his phone at trump tower. The claim will come up at a House Committee hearing on roib next week. President trump signed an order that would have implications for federal workers. It requires the administration to examine every federal department and agency to see where money is being wasted. How services can be improved and where the programs are truly serving americans. Meanwhile, the white house and congress are discussing how to pay for a new wall on the border and a lot more agents to man it. If approved, customs and Border Agents would be trained for that wall at a highly secured facility thats just about an hour north of d. C. Scott mcfarland and the news 4 iteam take you there. Along the winding highways far from the u. S. Border is a gated government complex that used to be a parkland in the mountains. Inside, youll find an army of agents training on a shooting range, training to make rescues. And a check for illegal man made tunnels. Its a sprawling campus that more resembles a college. Were not just on the southern border. This is where u. S. Customs and Border Protection built a training academy. Teaching 8,000 employees each year. Clark messer, a 29year Border Patrol agent runs it and says theres no politics here. They prefer to talk about the training itself. Its what we do. So we like to discuss it and talk about it. Including selfdefense training on this virtual simulator. Preparing officers for potential battle. The system allows them to create hundreds of scenariha shooting at a movie theater. Ples help me, please. Sit down on the hood. To a difficult roadside stop preparing them for their posts. As a training border fence here. Some fencing already exists along the border and if a new border wall is built, theyll change ou it looks. In the meantime, they train for assaults against officers in this spot because so many assaults happen near the fences. Thats what they were doing the day the iteam was there. Training by the fence to save an injured agent. We followed as they approached veteran agent down near the fence. Defending the agent as the offender fired. Have to expect the worst and act accordingly. He and his classmates focused on nonlethal force first to slow the attack. Then practice how to safely remove tnj you never know what youre going to encounter, what the people you encounter are thinking or their intentions. Especially for the Border Patrol which often sends agents or teams into remote locations where help can be slow to arrive. Help could be days away. You have to be able to deal with situations like that. Records provided to Congress Show a spike in assaults against Border Patrol employees up 200 in december 2016 versus the same time period in 2015. And more than 7,000 total in the past decade. Being a Border Patrol agent is one of the most dangerous, if not the most dangerous job in all of law enforcement. Chris lion helps oversee the training here. Youre on the border by yourself many times in areas where youre facing offenders who you cant even reach. So much is uncertain for the Border Patrol as the white house and Congress Debate a new wall and consider adding a the use of force mission is as old as policing itself. That never changes. They say theyll be ready. Meaning this campus could soon be more crowded with agents moving from the mountains to the frontlines. Scott mcfarland, news 4 iteam. Looks different in that region of the country tonight. How is the storm behaving . Really coming down snowwise. We dont expect the changeover until 1 00, 2 00, 3 00. But it is going to change over and already starting to do so down to the south. Parts of prince georges county, youre seeing the snow. This is whats down there in prince georges county. Covering parts of the area, but starting to see sleet in this area as well. This is around clinton, maryland. We continue to watch that. Take a look apartment the radar. One thing you notice here, a lot of snow areawide and notice the purples, the darker purples. That is actually heavier snow that continues to fall. Want to show you the leesburg area and frederickburg. The snow is getting with the roadways and around gaithersburg. Gotten reports out of alexandria of the roads getting covered there, at least the back roads. Heads up, the temperatures are below freezing in many areas. I watt to show you this. Yellow here, the bright banding, this is where sleet is trying to mix in. Couple of pictures in the fredericksburg area. Sleet accumulation has been happening. We may see more sleet in areas than snow from this. This is all part of the snow system coming to the. You can see it. Its starting to merge together now. The storm system to the west, one to the south. Theyre going to merge off the coast. I think were going to get enough warm air in here that we switch over from snow to possibly freezing rain and sleet over the next few hours. 28 inga gaithersburg. The roads are covered fairly quick. Monday, here we are, 11 00 on future weather. The rain snow line to the south. Look what happens at 1 00. The rain snow line into southern maryland. Around fredericksburg. Sleet in the d. C. Metro area. All snow back to the west. Look at the computer models. Theyre trying to bring the rain line into d. C. By 5 00. If this happens, its going to be very close, but if it happens, anything that falls tonight is quickly going to be melted or out of here. Now, if the temperatures are below freezing, we could have another scenario altogether. If its freezing rain, that shuts down everything. So thats one thing well be watching for sure. It does look like the snow will be back by tomorrow morning in parts of the area and see snow through parts of the day. Most of it should be on the lighter side by the afternoon before it all starts to get out of here around the 5 00, 6 00 hour. Heres our snow totals. Down to the south. Some snow and sleet. This will eventually change to rain. In and around quantico and wood totally, 1 to 3 inches with a mix. That includes the d. C. Metro area towards clinton and bowie. 3 to 6 inches from northwest d. C. Towards bethesda. Back to the west, this is the area were most confident about because the rain snow line not going to get there. 6 to 10 inches. 10 inches or more in frederick, places like that going to get more snow. Still a tough forecast through tomorrow. We expect many School Closings and we have them mostly north and west of d. C. Even on wednesday, in the areas with the higher amounts, we could see delays during the day wednesday too. Heads up there. The next couple of days, i want to focus one thing on wednesday. High temperature of 30. Look at the windchill early wednesday morning. How about 11 when you wake up. Single digit windchills and snow on the ground. We could see major problems with the roads out there. Even during the afternoon. Windchills in the teens all the end of the week. Next three days, going to be quite tough as you move on through. Just getting started. Yes, it is. More complicated storms weve seen in quite a while. Still ahead, its not the end to the road trip that the wizards were hoping for. Sports is next.

With good reason. The terps get a 3 seed. Yes, a 3 seed. The other bad news. Theyre in the bridgeport region, same one as uconn. The third seeded maryland women host bucknell on friday at noon in college park after going 302 and winning the big ten regular season and tournament championship. Maryland understandably not too thrilled with their seeding. Disappointing given the body of work when you talk about winning 30 games and winning regular season and your conference tournament. At this point of the season it doesnt matter what i think or if im disappointed. For us, its taken our and the teams were going to face and be ready to step out on the floor and play some of our best basketball. I think its a number in front of your name.
