Kid president is also known as 9yearold robby novak. He stars in popular motivational videos and has gotten tens of millions of hits on youtube. He is hilarious, so cute, too. Got a Little Something coming. It makes it nice to hear about the easter egg roll, although often thats really cold, too isnt it . We have a little wintery mix coming. I dont think you need to worry about it so much in the morning, but maybe in a light fashion in the afternoon and a big concern is the fact it will be real cold tonight and we dont warm up a lot tomorrow. Typically when we have Little Things coming through, we say dont worry it, wont stick to the roads. In this case it could because the pavement man chilly. Already down to 32 has been chilly. Already down to 32 and widespread 20s even through the clouds. So pavement will be cold. The good news is most of this very light precipitation and im talking trace amounts here wont get in for the most part until late morning, early afternoon. So hopefully we can warm things up a bit although only into the low and mid30s most likely. 28 degrees overnight. Clouds will increase. Most places will be well about below freezing which is important when a little light mix comes through. 30 sib tomorrow for the district that. Should prevent freezing rain but aing the snow or sleet can fall at that a little snow or sleet can fall at that temperature with a light accumulation possible depending how much precipitation were able to get. We highlight the fact there could be slick spots around in the afternoon and evening hours. At 8 a. M. Cloudy, spotty chance for snow or sleet but not widespread, 30 degrees. By noon a little better chance were seeing snow and sleet, 33 degrees and sleet is an ice pellet. Sometimes that can be a little more slippery than snow on the streets. 4 00 were getting that wintery mix at 35 degrees. Thats why we think that afternoon and evening commute may require your patience and perhaps a little extra time. This storm has really been taking quite a toll on the middle part of the country. Weve had lots and lots of dangerous situations, treacherous ice storm on the southern end of it, thunder snow and thunder rains and as you look at d. C. , you can see rain is starting to move into southwestern virginia and icing going on in portions of central west virginia. That still is not going to get in until later in the day because High Pressure is just up to our north and east. It will block it for a while. The advisories are flying to our west, not so much for the district. Keep an eye on tucker in the morning. See if they decide to put us in an advisory. I think it will be so light it might not happen here, but in the mountains an inch or 2 of snow with maybe. 1inch of ice is possible. Thats why those advisories begin tonight through friday. This area of low pressure producing the snow will weaken and essentially the precipitation will divide into two chunks, the snow portion of it going to our north. Were kind of in the middle with the light stuff and a second area of low pressure will develop with rain down here. That will run up the coast bringing us more cold rain saturday and more snow to new england, but in the meantime it will just be a small amount of snow and sleet for us. We cant put a number on it. I think it would be a coating of light accumulation and that may not happen in many areas but slick spots definitely could. A very quick look at futurecast and run this out to tomorrow morning so you can see its not widespread. By 5 00, 6 00 its probably a little rain down to the south and we expect this to change over to a cold rain going through the evening hours friday. Your fox 5 accuweather seven day forecast, a cold day tomorrow at 36, not a whole lot warmer saturday with cold rain showers mainly in the morning and early afternoon. We brighten up a lot for sunday and monday with temperatures near 50 degrees. Perhaps another wintery mix tuesday at 48, colder for wednesday and thursday. Cold is the theme of scotts first story. Hes talking hockey. Heres his sports report. The hockey season is flying by. Tonight marks the third of a season in the books marks 1 3 of the season in the books now and the three wins of the caps are against teams in the bottom half of the eastern conference. Tonight back at Verizon Center against one of the best teams in hockey, the new jersey devils. After a scoreless opening period caps on the power play. Mathieu perreault puts in the second effort, caps up 10. Troy brouwer fires and caps back out on top, 21. To the their we go, off the faceoff adam larson, holtby, holtby with the save but the rebound and goal. Equalizer. Kovalchuk, the one timer beats holtby and so do the devils. Caps drop to 071 in teams in the top six. 32 the final. You got to lead and give them two five on threes in one period, you know, obviously thats too much, you know. I thought maybe a couple calms were tough calms, but i didnt think calls were tough calls, but i didnt think alexs was a call. Bottom line was its too many.
