As a matter of fact, thats what were talking about today. The rain has already come through, some of it has already come through. We do have more mild showers around today. Temperatures are in the 40s and the 50s right now. Were going to warm up today. Were going to head up to 60 degrees plus for almost the entire area by this afternoon. Here are our temperatures out there this morning. Dulles at 44. Gaithersburg 46. Here in town our temperature continues to go up. Were 50 degrees now. Fredericksburg is 54 and leonardtown is 52. All right, looking at Storm Tracker radar right now, it looks pretty dry, okay, at least here in the city. If youre out early, early this morning, you get on the roads theres a lot of road spray still out there this morning. Look at the past couple of hours. Most of the showers have been to the north of us and northwestern suburbs this morning. Well have the possibility, kind of periods of showers today but i think most of the rain will come through again later on this afternoon. Heres why. You canee to the west and northwest of us, yes, there is some snow on the radar up through the midwest and down through parts of saint louis this morning coming into illinois but i think that its going to be just too little too late for us to have any type of a White Christmas. Later today, whew, 64 degrees for a High Temperature. Thats not normal. Manassas the same, culpeper the same and down to fredericksburg right around 66 degrees. These temperatures now, look, it could be a little warmer in spots than this. So, 64 for us. We maybe were 65 to 66 degrees. It all depends on how much in the way of shower activity we have coming on across. And fredericksburg could be maybe 68 or so. Again, all dependent on the rain and the timing and when it comes through. It will be getting cooler. As a matter of fact, it will be getting much colder. Thats the trend anyway. Well talk more about that this morning. Right now its back over to annie. Gary, thank you so much. Time now the great get away continues this morning and starting today through new years aaa estimates 107 million americans will head out of town for the year end holidays. Thats the highest on record. Fox5s anjali live at Reagan National airport with more on the mad dash for the holidays. Hey, anjali, how is it looking out there . Reporter well, hey, annie. Yeah, its certainly become a holiday tradition for many to be traveling at an airport either on christmas or the days leading up and here at reagan, certainly no stranger to passengers early in the morning leading up to christmas but its a beautiful place to be here. Look, weve got christmas decorations, Beautiful Tree and Christmas Music playing so everybody is in the spirit but i do want you to take a look at the line to get into security already. Were talking 7 00 a. M. , december 23rd, 2 days before christmas and weve got a line already backing up top get into security here. This is they seem to be holding up the line a bit as they have the sweep through people but again, these people have the right idea. Theyre leaving early trying to get out ahead of the crowds but already people are building here at Reagan National airport. This of course is the third record day in a row of traveling in the country. Aaa saying more than 107 Million People, again, thats a record, are traveling between thursday and january 1st, thats up 3. 1 percent from last year. Of course most people traveling by car but here in the d. C. Area around a Million People will be flying. And analysts are crediting the boom in travel for a Strong Economy this year. Experts also saying even though were dealing with higher gas prices, believe it or not, airfare prices and hotel rates are actually cheaper than in years past. So, this makes people more inclined to get away and obviously a lot of people here. Weve got some folks bundled up, of course, its a cold day here but we have spotted some folks in shorts and tropical dresses, so maybe theyre going somewhere wm. Them. Oh, well. I do want to mention traveling on the roads today is going to be busy as well. So far so good as we saw driving up here to the airport. But, of course, the only advice i can really give there is the earlier you leave the better. Youre probably going to sit in traffic today as it is a busy travel day. I also want to mention we have seen already this early in the morning some delays both on the arrival and departure side here at reagan so if you are either leaving for a flight or picking up family or friends make sure you check your flight status before you head out. Thats the latest here at Reagan National airport. Send it back to you. Anjali thank you. Heads up if youre planning to use a d. C. Drivers license at the airport. Some t. S. A. Agents wont let people through security because they dont believe theyre american licenses. Its become such an issue that d. C. Delegate Eleanor Holmes norton wrote a letter to the t. S. A. And cited a incident now, travelers understand the confusion. Seems a little ridiculous to me. Our nations capitol, people should recognize that washington, d. C. And d. C. Stands for district of columbia. So, seems pretty easy to me. So, the confusion started back in 2014 when d. C. Updated licenses to comply with the real i. D. Act. That changed the wording on the top of the cards to district of columbia instead of washington, d. C. Because of the confusion the wording has been changed back to washington, d. C. Weve also been tracking some breaking news from overnight. Fire crews have worked through the night to put out a massive fire on 21st street in southeast d. C. Take a look at some of these pictures tweeted out out by d. C. Fire of the the flames erupted from the second floor of a townhome and fire crews say the flames were so big that they jumped 20 feet across the yard and spread to another home. The first townhome is destroyed. The second is salvageable thanks to indoor sprinklers working. The red cross is helping nine people displaced by the fires. Thankfully n no to you a developing story overnight in Prince Georges County. Police investigating the deadly shooting of a young girl. It happened at 9 oclock last night on Saint Phillips road. Officers say the girl was pronounced dead at the scene. They are now trying to figure out what led up to this shooting. And we are also learning new details about a double murder in reston, virginia. Police have identified the victims as Scott Fricker and his wife Buckley Kuehne fricker. They were found dead on a home. A third person in the house was shot and remains in critical condition. Several other people were inside the home at the time. Neighbors say the couple had three children and police have not identified a suspect in this case but say there is no danger to the community. New this morning out of california the thomas fire is now the largest wildfire in california history. Firefighters have been working around the clock for three weeks now to battle the flames out west. The fire has now scorched more than thats larger than the size of new york city and two people were killed in the fire and there have been Widespread Evacuations throughout southern california. Now, right now, the fire is only about 65 percent contained. Meanwhile we have an update on another fire that happened in suitland, maryland, earlier this week. That fire ripped through Carriage Hill apartments forcing multiple families out of their homes days before christmas. This morning the Prince Georges CountyPolice Department and the red cross will be giving out toys and presents ahead of Christmas Eve to those families. Five people were hurt in that fire. The cause is still being investigated. Its again the biggest tax cut, biggest reform of all time. President trump kept his promise to sign that massive tax reform bill into law before christmas. The biggest tax code cover hall in decades is officially signed into law. He says people will be pleased because it will put more money in peoples pockets and will reenergize the economy. I i think the corporations that are giving billions and billions of dollars away to their workers and many more are coming, i think thats really whats selling this maybe better than anybody could including myself. But i think come february, when they open their checks and they see, wow, what happened, i have a lot more money in here, i think thats really going to be something very special. Not a single democrat supported the tax reform bill. They argued it benefits corporations and the wealthy and will end up hurting the economy in the long run. Well, your time now is 7 09. Coming up a Christmas Day terror plot thwarted by fbi agents in california. What we are learning about the suspects this morning and a holiday warning from oprah. How she got caught in the middle of a social media scam. Very unsettling news here. Well be back with that. Stay with us. Be right back. Welcome back. We are learning more about the retired marine arrested for allegedly plotting a terror attack in San Francisco on Christmas Day. The fbi says 26yearold Everitt Aaron jameson told an undercover agent he wanted to carry out an attack at pier 39 which is a popular tour rest destination in San Francisco. Agents raided his home and found guns an will tha said he wanted to die in the attack. Now agents first started tracking the marine after he expressed support for isis on facebook. Now to green bay, wisconsin where a disgruntled former Food Service Employee at Lambeau Field is accused of ramming his car into a loading dock. Thst green bay packers. In the video you can see the suspects minivan on top of other vehicles. Police say no one was hurt in this incident. The packers meanwhile were able to keep the rest of the stadium opened because the incident happened in an isolated area of the stadium. And someone is scamming a running a scam on instagram pretending to be Oprah Winfrey. Oprah warned fans about the imposter. Somebody out there is trying to scam you using my name is my avatar on social media asking for money if you sign up for an own account on instagram. Its a fraud its a fraud, oprah says she has been in contact with instagram and they are working to deactivate all fraudulent accounts. Many people in l. A. Likely did a double take last night when they looked at the sky. Look at this. Launched from Vandenburg Air force base last night carrying 10 satellites. Theyll be part of a constellation of satellites used by a communications company. The incredible light show caused a lot of excitement on social media. Gary, this was so cool to look at, isnt it. [inaudible] that would have been a good indication. Good tip. Good take away for the vie viewers. A showers out there this morning. Most of this is to the north and the northwest. Theres already been some of this rain coming on across northwestern neighborhoods got most of this early, early this morning, but look at the motion here. This takes us back three hours or so. So, most of the showers have been going across northern maryland. There have been a couple of light showers coming up and off to the east of i95, but for the most part, theres a lot of dry conditions this morning south and to the southwest. That will change on and off today. I do suspect that were talking about periods of rain. I dont think its an all day washout today. But i definitely do believe showers and clouds for us. So, of course when its not raining its going to be cloudy. Temperatures, though, check this out. 64 degrees for a High Temperature and i may be a little bit conservative with this. Some of the modeling, believe it or not, takes us up into the upper 60s today. So, if we dont get quite as much rainfall coming on across, and again, i dont think its a lot today, i think most of it comes across this afternoon and this evening, that 64 could be a little warmer. 65, 66 would not surprise me. Much cooler tomorrow, though. The front comes through that takes temperatures down tomorrow, so even though were 64 today, were going to be almost 20 degrees cooler tomorrow. High of only about 46 degrees. It will be a little bit breezy and mostly cloudy on your Christmas Eve. Lets check on temperatures right now, shall we . 50 degrees here in town. Gaithersburg 46. Frederick is 43. So, some of these areas out north and west obviously this morning starting off cooler, but the warm air is coming up. And as the warm air comes up, it does look like its going to be enough to overtake the entire area and bring warmer temperatures. Beckley, West Virginia is 53. Pittsburgh is 51. So, thats why i say you have the warm air coming up. Look at knoxville, tennessee this morning. Already 66 degrees. Now, on the other side of the front, its not super cold but its definitely colder. Chicagos 28. Detroit is 32. So, that colder air is coming in. A lot of rain back out to the west of us. We dont escape the rain today. Well have periods of showers coming on colder air there is some snow. Could there be a flake of snow late tonight or even tomorrow afternoon and tomorrow evening . Yes. But it does not look like its going to be a huge deal. This morning rain is off to the west of us. Watch what happens today. Kind of blows through here during the afternoon and this evening i think there could be some pockets of heavy rain in spots later today, but again, very mild on these southwesterly winds today as temperatures will be warming up. 64 today. Look what we get for christmas, annie. Much colder temperatures coming our way. So, enjoy 64 if you like it this way. cause temperatures take a tumble. Especially next week. Another chance of snow in the forecast next week just before the end of the year. I think we need the cold temperatures on christmas, dont we . It will be cold. It will make it feel like christmas. Yeah. Yeah. Thanks gary. You bet. All right. There is a lot going on around the dmv this weekend. Lets take a look at whats happening today.

Brings back so many good memories. This time of year robberies are more frequent because of all the expensive gift giving. You dont have to set up elaborate traps to keep your home safe. Reggie whelan and tom camarca are here security. Good morning. Weve been talking a lot about porch pirates where that people take packages off of your porch outside your home but now were talking how to secure things inside your home. What are some of the common mistakes you see homeowners making. Well, the first is unlocked doors and windows. When it comes to windows, theres easy reason why thats occurring. Most homeowners dont realize that their windows are unlocked and i dont know if you want to ill show you how it happens. Yeah, show us. This particular window is locked right now. Right. And a lot of times people will go to unlock it, they go to shut it. Now what just happened is th uo they think theyve locked it. But not noticing that this came down. I have this type of window so what ive noticed also is that the heat escapes through the crack. And along with an unlocked window you get a constant breeze. So, people from the outside, burglars theyll test it so its very important, yo when we were taught when we were little. Always lock it. Its such a simple concept but so many of us dont do it especially also with our cars out front, too, and weve seen a lot of car robberies. Yeah. So what kind of window is this . This actually is a security glass. Okay. And what a lot of people do, they get security and tempered mixed up. Tempered glass is whats in all your doors, sliding glass doors, storm doors. Tempered glass breaks into tens of thousands of little pieces for safety reasons. The security glass, if people are interested in replacing their windows or doors and theyre focused on secur
