With the man of the hour. That would be gary. Right now were waiting. Its a waiting game for warm temperatures and rain to come across. I totally miscalculated.

No and then the escapeer broke. I had to sit and wait for the car to warm up. I let my car warm up im not kidding 20 minutes and there was still ice that hi to chisel off. Oh, man.

Not on the Eastern Shore or out towards the shore do we have any advisorys in place this morning. These will go until 10 a. M. Looks like by 10 a. M. We should all be above freezing if theres a couple of places at 10 a. M. Not going to be above freezing it will be way up here. Frederick county and maybe the Northern Maryland counties north of ixts 70 and again really is just a waiting game. But when you analyze everything and you give everything once over in the atmosphere whats going on it looks like warm air will be able to come across. Visibilities are still greatly reduced eighth of mile here in town. Quantico half a mile. Not only do you have to deal with slippery roadways this morning especially neighborhoods and secondary streets awful. You have to deal with reduced visibility around the metro here. Its better down to the south. This is leonardtown. You cant see it because of banner here at 10 miles and cambridge at 10 miles too and warm air comes out across.

Columbus 3 2. You jump to other side of system and temperatures cold. Just rain coming and still pockets of freezing rain, too, i believe the damage is done. What more accumulation happens with this freezing precip now is just kind of adding insult to injury. Its not complicating matters too terribly much. We wait on heaviest of rain. The storm is still south, southeast and all the rain will come on in, heavy reigns. Thunderstorms tots south of us and all this moisture comes in with warm air, warm air loft and gets pulled in at the surface too were and gaiing lukely hood all this changes to rain.

You notice early, late morning we get heavier rain coming out across and where there was 6, 7, 8 of snow down through Southern Maryland you add all this rain on top of that and then the melting from the warmer temperatures that were already getting and there will be a likelihood of flood potential here and well watch that as we go through the morning hou afternoon. We may even get into a little bit of sunshine later today as we begin to dry things out a little bit. So, 37, 8 a. M. In town. I think there will be places that are 32 or below. Even at 8 a. M. There will still be ice out there and the ice wept melt in ten minutes. It wail take a while for that to melt. Rain by noontime. 49, heavy in spots. Dry in the afternoon.

Fortunately it will warm up quickly. Look at this, this is just ice and its very dangerous guys. Thats the situation out here in northwest and around the area im from alexandria as well this morning, ice everywhere, guys, be careful out there. Good words of advice. Thank you, bob. Breaking news out of Prince George county, piece are on scene of Homicide Investigation 8600 block of green belt road. Officers were called following a shooting 11 00 last night and found a man suffering from a gunshot wound. He was pronounced dead and investigators are look fwiring sis suspect and motive in this case and the incident remains under investigation. 4 39 now a war of words between trump and cruz why the billionaire is threatening to sue the senator. Stay with us. Back in a moment 4 42 is your time. Donald trump is threatening to slap rival ted cruz with a lawsuit. The move comes in cruz airing what he calls false adds. Trump lashed out at cruz calling him the most dishonest guy he ever met. The court should see if they meets the requirement of being a natural born citizen to meet the requirement for president. He was in canada. And front runner donald trump continues to take more shots and meanwhile the nevada caucu caucuses is next up for democrats. Hillary clinton was scheduled to campaign in florida yesterday and changed plans and continues cam paining out west now thats shes in top five for nomination with senator bernie sanders. Our team cover ramming this messy Tuesday Morning commute, continues next. Well check back in with gary and erin and Michael Thomas as well. Keep an rye on conditions and well see what he has to say. 4 43 is the time. Back on this tuesday mornin morning. Slick roads out there in urbana and roads looking slick. Much of the area is iced over. Gary mcgrady will give us details. Thats my mood right there. That is your hood. We want to mention Montgomery County schools are in fact, closed today. If you live o t montgomery country schools, closed today. Thats a good call. D. K. Should follow suit but hey im one parent talking. Carry on. Okay. Just checking. Leonardtown up to 50. The cold air wedge gets stuck and it kind of gets stuck up against the mountains and we have this northeasterly breeze thats kind of feeding this right now but we also have a fairly strong wind coming out of the south and southeast. Its kind of advancing slowly. But it is advancing some warmer temperatures. So again leonardtown feeling bam my down there and cambridge sitting at 48. Again will take a little while to get this to continue toe push up and over and erode all this cold air. Typically well watch this. If it does not happen over the next couple hours we may begin to get a little nervous okay . But when it that happens again well be watching these temperatures. Westminster 34. Thats important right there. And winchester is 32. Culpeper is 30. Again, the copfy dense is about as high as it gets day in terms of breaking this wedge with the warmer temperatures coming out across. Again its just a waitsing gam game. Gaithersburg youre up to 32. Thats good news its startsing to break up. One thing too happening not as much precip up and down i 95. Doesnt matter damage is done and ice is on ground and ice is on everything and in some spots approaching quarter inch of ice maybe more than that. I have not gotten a lot of reports coming on in. And theres still ice falling back here along i 81. Not ice falling but ice accumulating with the freezing rain here and then back down Fauquier County parts of culpeper country too. This little area. And again it doesnt matter all that much. Because ice is accumulated on the ground already. You got snow back here on the cold side of the system. Because all the wind is coming in from the north and northwest bringing cold in on the backside. Now, sandwiched in middle of this thats where rain is as warm air is coming up ahead of this entire system and off east were still battling cold air wedged through pennsylvania and right down against the appalachians to North Carolina thats the weming of cold air. As rain comes over the top of that it basically becomes freezing rain. Look at heavy rain coming down through North Carolina now and sorp and central virginia. Theres a chance today as all this sbingz across that we could end up with a little bit of thunderstorm activity. Now, my thought is looking at everything i think that will primarily be off to the east of us. But eastern place as long the Eastern Shore and western shore too for annapolis and places like deal and leonardtown and st. Mary county and calvert country you may get a rumble of we have early freezing rain and then becomes all rain later on. It will be heavy at times. Winds southeast and eventually this afternoon the winds will go west. Again were very confident this will happen when temperatures 52 for high in city and gaithersburg 48. Frederick 44. Mannasas 52 and down through the south here you cannot see it well go fredericksburg 52 and go leonardtown 54 and since they are already signature 50 they may get warmer than that. Maybe they go 56 to 58 again sometimes chasing temperatures down in this type of situation very, very tricky. Freezing rain still place. That probably goes, the winter storm warning, northwestern communities 9, 10 00. You may have preezing rain in spots happening on. Here in district by 10 a. M. We changed over well be all rain. Temperatures climbing towards the 40s and definitely off east of us. Most advisories and warnings are in place until 10 00 this morning. Quick look at visibility. Just 8th of mile in up to. Thats real, real low. As you gets further away from city in frederick visibility four and not bad and generally over a mile back out west still low down around quantico too and annapolis visibility. Couple spots visibility is a problem. For most of us this morning its not a big deal. One look at temperatures 31 here. Couple changes weve seen. Gaithersburg came up to frezing and mannasas youre up to freezing and quantico 32 and leonardtown 50 right there. Its definitely warming up there. And beginning to see some of this breaking through okay . So i dont think it will be much longer. 34 richmond and new york city right now is at 48 degrees. They have the warm air coming right up off the ocean and thats warm are them up a little bit. Forecast for today eventually high 52 all rain cool tomorrow sunshine 48 and all this ice going to be a distant memory at traffic morning. When you say ice a distant memory i felt really happy like i was on a beach gary thank you for that. It could be a couple slippery spots in the suburbs but that wont last long. 4 51 my biggest concern is folks guest out of naishdz right now. Secondarys slick and icy conditions. Crash activity now inner loop after the bw parkway on shoulder. Use caution there. Maps from Prince George county to frederick crash activity 15 south at jefferson street. Give yourself extra time to get in and out frederick. I know were seeing icy conditions in those back neighborhoods. Brownsville road crash penny crest rain. Caution there as well and 6 6 eastbound earlier crash cleared and right now southbound traffic looking good patchy fog use low beams and give yourself extra time to get around. Dealing with crash southbound side and that crash is out by dumfries as you make your way dale city to dumfries. If we get a live look thats causing problems now you see the arrow trucks are set upkeep it right and make sure you slow it down. 95 dealing with problems all morning. Theres a second crash in that same area as well. We you have covered this morning. Metro bus is operating on snow detours. You can check in with me twitter erin fox5dc and metro should be close to service in the next eight minutes or so and well let you know if and when that changes with the commute. Thank you very much. You know its bad outside when we had to call Michael Thomas and have him get up and get in the car and start cruise around this morning to tell us about the conditions out on the road roads. Michael thomas where are you now . Wisdom, im looking for coffee. We have not quite found it yet. But we are in 80 urbana we just caught a tree with a lot of ice on it. The difference now were off the highway is kind of night and day. Theres a lot of ice on these roads. Theyre still slush covered. They have not been plowing streets because its difficult to plow ice. Theyre going to chemical treat and hope rain later this afternoon wash as way most icy accumulation. Were next to Centerville Elementary School here again in southern Frederick County maryland. And were turning in here. Looks like crews were able to get to Elementary School last night or earlier this morning and clear most of the Parking Spaces out. However if you can seat reflection off the lights thats not a wet reflection that is icy reflection. This whole parking lot is a sheet of ice. That was kind of the issue yesterday hey do you shovel the snow that felt and then clear those walkways and then have that sheet of ice warm here. Or do you wait until after the then clear it off. That was an issue. Lots of folks were running into yesterday here of course they cleared. We had the ice covered roadways here and were going to keep our eye on School Closings i have not seen anything go up yet on Frederick County maryland schools but i heard Montgomery County is closed for today. So well keep you updated and send it back into you. Were headed to garys house to get breakfast now. Hes not there, good luck. I think hes not there he was supposed to go grossy shopping yesterday dont know if he made. It you can give it a try. Michael thomas be safer out there well check in with you later. Further south metro weather they responded to 1100 wrecks statewide at least 300 of those were in Raleigh Durham area.
