And do more in transparency and openness. I agree with that. I just heard, you know, in the media that they were proposing a policy.

Other people saying, question, great job by the redskins finally changing the name. It even got to the point that the redskins issued an official statement via their twitter account saying its crazy they had to issue an actual statement about this. This morning the redskinss organization was made aware of fraudulent websites about the team name, the name of the team is the Washington Redskins and will remain that in the future. Just few hours ago, the group behind the culture jacking revealed itself to be the risin native americans urging the skins to change the name.

Yes, exactly and it looked real. People were sharing this and saying finally a name change. Then its like, no, it didnt happen. We also learned new words culture jacked. Thank you for that, brody moving on to flake news. Yes. No red hawks flying tonight. Flake news, by the way, i cant take credit for that we have flake news of our own, snow showers approaching the area, interstate 68 one lane was not covered in snow out there. Heres the concern. Check out that temperature, it is only 33 degrees here in dc. Our High Temperature today 35, coldest day weve had so far, and why is that a problem . Because snow will stick at that temperature unlike saturday when none of the roads were affected. It is a clipper system that were tracking. We have a feeling our winter is going to be full of a lot of these systems and it can be a little nail biters, sometimes they do what you think and sometimes they wont tonight were watching this closely. Heres our estimate of whats going to happen between now and about 9 00 or 10 00, maybe 11 00 at the latest. These are going to move through from west to east. Could it produce a spotty dusting on areas that dont have any treatment because if you were driving north on 270 today or south, theres a lot of brine on the roadways. Dc on south mostly flurries mountains in the area of one to three, theres a Winter Weather advisory in effect. Locally heres what were thinking in terms of snow impact forecast here. Probably on the low side. Were happy that most of rush hour will be over before this comes through. But clippers are tricky and i do know that while we see this coming through between 7 00 and 11 00 and not a lot of snow. It could be enough to create the slick spot maybe your front porch or step your driveway, cold round means the flakes will stick and we could have slick spots into the morning hour, i would say Pay Attention to the morning commute even though the snow will be long gone, we got snow tracker radar in motion, look moving directly west to east. Moving in western loudoun county, hagerstown getting that, winchester, little bit closer and maybe not quite to frederick or germantown yet. Give it another hour or so. And we think thats going to be moving on in. Now, most of the snow with the clipper will pass to the north. Its a little tail here that is developing thats going to be moving now and about 11 00. So lets look at the futurecast. It has a nice handle on where things are right now. Take it out to 8 00, western suburbs a little bit of brightening of the radar colors you can see here on the prediction shows that maybe we get a small accumulation in these areas. Then, lets take it out to 9 00. Mostly east of dc, baltimore getting it over to the eastern shore, dover, samples bury, by the time we get to midnight, were starting to see skies clear out to our west, and sunshine is back for your morning commute. Aware of that. While the sun is back, slick spots may stick because with these temperatures as our highs today, we have only one place to go, and that is down tonight, wait a minute. Making a liar out of me, we moved to 34 because the clipper is approaching look at gaithersburg 29, the bulk will be north where temperatures are all below freezing. The wind is at least a little bit better right now. But we still have windchills in the mid and low 20s upper 20s only in a few spots. Overnight, is 32 district. But again, were talking about mid 20s suburbs, thats why were worried about couple of the slick spots. After we get through the morning, its a breezy, chilly afternoon, i know youre probably sick of the breeze after the last 24 hours, we will have a warmer day subtly tomorrow. Sun mixing with clouds, we should be able to get close to 40 in many areas, obviously, feeling colder. 43 is our prediction for dc. But lay, get up towards hagerstown, frederick it may be in the 30s. And your weekend forecast quick look at that and then well head back to the sevenday forecast. Saturday does not look snow what was like last saturday which i thought was stunningly beautiful. It will be a few clouds, 44 degrees. Clouds build back in sunday, 47, and youre going to go see on the fox 5 accuweather sevenday forecast. Maybe a snow shower friday is not looking like a big digital were not worried. A couple of days in the 50s, mondays tuesday as we start the runup to the Big Christmas holiday, night of hanukkah. Im a glad well see 50s be careful on the roads. Sometimes its the little ones that cause trouble. Good advice. Back in a moment but first a holiday message from our military service members. Merry christmas from puerto rican. My name is wes and im from the hospa center, i wanted to send a message back home, tell everybody, my family, i miss them, thankful for them, glad to be in puerto rico with the core of engineers and trying to get at the power restored for the people of puerto rico. Again, merry christmas. Puerto rico out. Puerto rico out. A dc family called 911 when they realized they werent going to make it in time to the hospital then a dc dispatcher stepped in and walked them through labor. That is part of that call and with the dispatchers help the baby was born a few minutes later. Her grateful parents got to meet the 911 taker at a special meet and greet in southeast dc.

There was a an alabama bombshell, doug jones won the special election to fill the senate seat vacated by Jeff Sessions and his republican challenger roy moore is refusing to concede President Trump weighing in on the race.
