It was sleeting a little bit on and off earlier. Roads are looking good. We did see a lot of early school closures. As you can imagine that made for some very happy kids and their parents took the news in stride, too. As buses loaded up and kids headed home, one student had a very important question. Is the weather really going to turn up really bad or is it going to be really big or is it going to be hailing really small . Reporter as it turned out, hailing like really small. Parents still weathered the supposed storm really well. Thats what you do as parents sometimes. Im off on monday so wasnt that big of a deal for me. For safety it wasnt an inconvenience.

Now to those demonstrations outside the white house today, the Trump Administration is ending protections for certain immigrants. You can imagine the order is devastating for families it affects, 200,000 immigrants from el salvador. 30,000 of them live in the washington area. News4s Meagan Fitzgerald joins us with some local reaction tonight. Megan . Reporter jim, a lot of these folks came here to this country back in 2001 when a series of devastating earthquakes struck parts of el salvador. So, imagine over the last decades, they set up their homes. They married, theyve had kids, theyve even purchased homes in this area. So, once that announcement was made this afternoon, a lot of folks came out here to the white house to make sure their voices were heard. Congress, congress. Fix it now. Reporter there wasnt a large crowd in front of the white house, but these men and women delivered a clear message to President Trump and his administration. Hours after their decision to end temporary protected status or t. P. S. Which allowed more than 200,000 people from el salvador to live and work here legally. So, the decision that this president has made today, its shameful. Its inhumane. Reporter back in 2001, a devastating earthquake struck el salvador, destroying infrastructure and leaving many without a home. So, their citizens were allowed to apply for temporary protected status in the u. S. One recipient is jose freddy i start to make tax and every year, so ive been doing that. And i think the way i help this country. Reporter for nearly two decades freddy has called Montgomery County home. He works long hours doing construction work for a landscaping company. He married his wife here, and together theyre raising their two young boys. We have two childs. One is 14 years old, the other one is 10. And i have a little town house because of my payment i can work legal in this country so i can make money. Reporter but in september of 2019, the program freddy and thousands of others count on will end. So, hes worried about what this means for his family, especially for his two young boys. I cant take them back to my country because there is no future in my country for them. Reporter now, organizers of this working with congress, lobbying congress to try and create a path to citizenship for these t. P. S. Holders. The Trump Administration says they are willing to work with congress, but they insist that this program was only supposed to be temporary when it started. Back to you. Meagan fitzgerald, thank you, meagan. Thanks, meagan. A closer look now at what the t. P. S. Country. There are ten countries whose citizens are eligible for t. P. S. Theyre given that temporary status because of one of three reasons. There is an ongoing war or conflict in their country, there has been a natural disaster, or some other extraordinary condition there. T. P. S. Is not a legal status, but it does allow holders to apply for a work permit and a drivers license. And that, in turn, allows them to open a bank account, rent an apartment, even buy a home. El salvador first gained t. P. S. Status during that civil war that lasted from 1980 to it then received another designation after tud two devastating earthquakes occurred in 2001. This is the third country to lose its t. P. S. Protections under the Trump Administration. 2,500 nicaragua were stripped of t. P. S. Protection earlier this year.

Thats ahead at 7 00, just after news4 at 6 00. Well, lets get an update on that weather and a tricky ride home for a lot of people out there, doug. Yeah, guys, the good news is we have not seen a lot of ice on the main roads. This is not one of those situations where the city is shutting down because of ice. However, the secondary roads, sidewalks still an issue. Yeah, people are weighing in it is especially areas north of town like frederick up around baltimore where were hearing a lot of reports of icy sidewalks. Lets take a look and show you what were dealing without side. You see whats happening temperature wise, were sitting in the 30s, 34 degrees at the airport. You see the cloudy skies continuing across the area now, seeing the rain move back into d. C. We are now seeing rain in the d. C. metro area. Winds out of the south at 8 miles an hour, the wind really helping out as far as the temperatures to get them above freezing today for the first time really, only the second time this month weve been above freezing. Heres the Winter Weather advisory until 9 00 tonight for everybody here in the purple. Does not include parts of Southern Maryland or parts of the mountains here back towards West Virginia because mountain temperatures here way up there. Theyre at 45 degrees now back into portions of West Virginia. Until 9 00, again, your evening commute may be a little difficult. Wintry mix and seeing some freezing rain out there in spots as well. Heres the mess. And you notice this says snow, but im sure this is coming down at some freezing rain or sleet in this area from baltimore over right on towards downtown. Filling back in nicely here with rain, down to the south. But temperatures are still very, very close to that freezing mark. Thats why were continuing to see at least some issues. You can see whats happening with this. More moisture, watch it fill in the last couple of frames. Were going to see it the next couple of hours. And as the sun goes down, the temperatures are going to come down a little bit, too. Were now at 30 degrees in frederick, 32 in gaithersburg. This is the area weve been looking at all day long for the potential for that freezing rain and for that ice on some of the roadways. So, watch out anywhere across our area with the latest on that. Lets toss it over to amelia because, amelia, travel could still be difficult. We havent seen a lot of big problems here, but which may overnight tonight into early tomorrow morning. People are saying there is so much salt on area roads, we can see this measured in feet and it would be melting. Lets get you into your road forecast. Its roads have been treated right now, wet roads out there, especially all of the major areas, like the beltway, 66, 70, 270. Neighborhood secondary roads, will be icy in spots especially if youre north and west of town and that will continue to be a concern early tomorrow morning. Were also hearing about a lot of sidewalks and driveways that have a thin sheet of ice on them. You want to be careful walking to and from your car probably more than anything tonight on into tomorrow morning. Take a look at your road conditions. Some slick spots out there tonight through tomorrow morning, but by tomorrow afternoon, its dry and were well above freezing. So, as the kids head out to School Tomorrow morning, maybe a few delays. I think wed be really surprised with any cancellations. Theyll want the jacket, maybe the boots. Once again, because of how much salt is out there. Doug, we warm up tomorrow, talking about a pattern change finally. That pattern change weve all been waiting for 16 days now with our temperatures well below average. Many of those in the Single Digits across the region. So, yes, the cold air has been here. The cold air sitting in place. That is going to change. Cold air making its way back towards the west and warmer air moving up for a couple day temperatures will be about 15 degrees above average as we head towards the end of the week. Lets take a look at that sevenday forecast for you, tenday forecast. 42 degrees wednesday. 60 on friday. That comes with a good chance for some rain as we move into saturday and sunday. Well, the colder air does return so a chance ever rain early on saturday and the colder air during the day on saturday with temperatures falling. Sunday a high of 34, could see snow sunday. Wouldnt amount to anything. Also tracking another system in the middle of next week. So, lots to talk about, guys. Another roller coaster, but at least this roller coaster heading in the right direction. I like 60. Even though were expecting a little bit of rain. We love that. Im loving 44. Ill take anything above 39. Okay. A message today as survivors of sex assault demonstrate outside the pentagon, the changes theyre seeking as they add their voices to the me too movement.
