falls will stick and that could mean slippery ride home for you details now tucker back with a first check of our forecast and tucker we are all ears about this one. >> thanks maureen. let's get to it. lots of weather to talk about. this is not going to be major event. going to be minor event but the concern of course is the cold temperatures we've had over overnight, and our daytime highs expected in the low 30 today's what falls will stick. so anybody that's lived here for any period of time you know that sometimes half inch or inch of snow can cause problems than the bigger events when they come at the wrong time. late morning early afternoon in time for t hour. 30 now in washington. it feels like 24 with the breezes out of the east. all right. so two pieces of energy kind of phasing together. i don't really want to over sell it this is not going to be major storm just enough energy we'll come together to create a little area of air pressure. and that's going to throw enough moisture back in our region we're looking at a brief period, kind of a burst of snow across the dc area later this morning during the afternoon hours. the potential is there that we can get a coating perhaps half inch to an inch of snow across the immediate washington area little later today. so again timing on this i think by early afternoon and then through four, 5:00 o'clock this afternoon we'll have some bands of light snow. there's our forecast totals, and you can see the higher amounts are off to the north and east. but that's according part of our viewing here prince george's county, an run dell county up towards columbia and ellicott city and howard county an inch or two. lesser amounts out to the west. i'll have plenty more details on this winter weather advisory goes into effect at 1:00 o'clock this afternoon for those counties d.c. and points north and east and we'll look at that map and talk more about this. i want to show you future cast trying to give us snow as early as noon. we'll come back and resist these maps. but snow this afternoon we'll warm it up this weekend and the snow should melt off pretty quick. plenty more on the weather coming up in just a minute. i'll toss it back to you guys on the couch. >> all right, thanks so much, tucker. let's get to the morning briefing now. first up after all the wheeling and dealing republicans

not very impressive amounts. coating to an inch and then maybe more like an inch or two north and east of baltimore or excuse north and east of d.c. up towards baltimore but with air temperatures only in the low 30s late this afternoon this could stick. so i think remember a couple years ago we had snow event right before we had the big blizzard and that inch caused more problems. >> we're concerned we could do one of those later today. there we are at noon. snow starting to break out and again it will be very light. notice generally washington and points north and east later this afternoon and we'll keep the threat around through the evening rush hour. then it should lift out of here pretty quick. if you're going out for dinner tonight seven, 8:00 o'clock tonight general until pretty good shape the snow will be out of here it could be certainly a nuisance around here later today. keep an eye on the forecast. i'll be tweeting tucker fox5 with the latest as it develops. 34 today. weekend looks brighter and warmer. 50 by sunday for the skins cardinal at that near 60 by tuesday. actually we're looking mild next week as we get into the first days of winter officially middle of next week. yeah. 1 inch right before the blizzard last year shut down the city. let's hope that doesn't happen later today. >> six accidents right outside of my place. >> yup. >> i remember that. >> oh yeah. >> i do remember that. >> nightmare. >> all right. thanks tucker. oscar winner actor dustin hoffman the latest celebrity caught up in the sexual assault scandal a woman is now accusing him of exposing himself to her when she was just 16 years old. also russell simmons vowing to fit back against rape allegations. allison here with the very latest details. allison good that's right, annie many her name is corey thomas and she's a playwright her story was first reported by variety magazine. thomas says for years she has shared with friends and associates about her end counter with hoffman, but chose to speak public toll support others who have accused of him of sexual misconduct. meanwhile, russell simmons says that he is going on the offense to defend himself against rape allega saying he intends to prove without any doubt he is innocent of all charges. but his efforts to do so irking some people because simmons instagram post uses the hash tag, hash tag not me. some see it as swipe against the anti harassment hash tag me too. where millions have shared stories about being sexually harassed and assaulted. simmons says that he isn't trying to diminish the me too movement but to hold his acc accusers accident its accountable. the new york police department is investigating the rape claims and reaching out to the alleged victim. i guess we're going to have stay tuned on this one. maureen, back to you. >> al, i mean i don't know if you saw this online, they said something like russell simmons took a lie detector test to try to prove -- >> is that right?

hour rule here in washington. so it does include d.c. there could be some snow falling down and again we're already starting to see it in few neighbor. we're cloudy and chilly. 31 degrees. temperatures important we're close to freeing that means chemicals on the roadways will work pretty well. i think your major roadways will be okay through streets that's what you'll have to watch out for. there's storm tracker radar showing a band of snow starting to develop down south and showing another one up to the north. a lot of that is not hitting the ground but thank you so much to jamie lee who wrote in and said here in mt. airy just to the east of frederick we're already seeing a little bit of the light fluffy stuff coming down. how much can you expect? one to 3-inches north and east of town more spotty than that big blob of blue. i think most coating to an inch. mostly on the grass but, yes there's the potential it could stick to side streets as well temperatures have stayed in the 20s all day. quick look at the seven day forecast. your weekend is good. lots of sunshine tomorrow up to 47. up to 50 by sunday and, yes, you're not dreaming that's a 60-degree day on the seven

story of washington post editor and publisher ben bradley and catherine graham and the cover up they exposed by publishing the pentagon papers. it's directed by steven spielberg. last night the stars hit the red carpet in washington, d.c. >> you were there. >> i had chance to catch up with the biggest stars involved in this story you'll hear from spielberg and from the two of the biggest producers behind the film. daniel else berg played by matthew reece in the film. he was a us military analyst who actually is the one who leaked the pentagon papers to the washington post. he met in hotel room with b character. in the movie world they put printed out all the papers and made it look realistic but i spoke to daniel else berg what that risk was of actually giving these papers to the washington post and risking his life in the sense of going to prison, and i wanted to speak to him about and he tells me about that night and how scared he was and how he had to hide for 13 days from the fbi. it's pretty fascinating but here's the cast including steven spielberg from last night's premier and daniel else berg the analyst who leak the pentagon papers to the post. watch this. >> this is a
