[ laughter ] >> snow showers. they're light. but they are certainly on a radar here. look at them. off to the north and west of town here, and you know the concern is with these cold temperatures we night get just enough to coat the ground in a few spots although i have no reports of that at this hour. good news. 32 in washington. the only spot above freezing annapolis, 29, leonardtown is 30. fredericksburg 30. you get north and west and this is where the front is actually coming through and the temperatures are really cold. look at hagerstown this morning 20 degrees. 23 in winchester. all right. there's your storm tracker ra radar. this stuff is very very light. get up 270 towards frederick and urbana and it looks like we have a light snow shower occurring and again i've had reports of a few flakes out here. not amounting to a whole lot. but certainly cold enough that even a light dusting or coating of snow and quick burst could stick to the ground here as temperatures are in the 20s off to our north and west. keep that in mine. not going to be with us all day for the next couple of hours things should gradually improve in fact the weather service just let go of the winter weather advisory off to the north and west. all right. what's happening? frontal system coming through. the real change you'll feel another round of winds and cold temperatures here to stay here. so we'll get the snow showers out of here and then this big area of high pressure builds on in and the winds are out of the north and the north and west, and 30s. temperatures actually falling this afternoon and winds and wind chill make it feel like teens and we're just in for one round after another of cold for the next couple of days. 34 that's optimistic maybe the noon hour we'll get cold ton tonight. 18. daytime high tomorrow 29. could be a brief period of light snow on saturday morning with a clipper and then look at that cold air for the end of the weekend. our new year's eve, new year's day i think some of the coldest we've had in recent years. 29 on sunday. wind chills new year's eve may approach 0 degrees. make sure you bundle up with somebody significant and then monday's daytime high only 26. this is good. you need to really snuggle each other for body warmth. >> i'll wear my cookie monster onsie. have i party of one and my couch with a tub of ice cream with a heat blaring. >> that's fantastic idea. >> is that the one that smells bad? that's the one you have. >> my costume do's not smell b bad. you smelled like trash on halloween because of your oscar costume. deep breath of the moving o lane, left shoulder. this is the first build up in terms of volume we've seen all day give yourself a few extra minutes there. and then as you make your way out we do have a crash causing a slow down this is anacostia freeway northbound before benning road so northbound side is slowing. southbound side still at speed. and then as you make your way out on the beltway, looking good through annandale on the inner and outer loop a crash in annandale. annandale road northbound at gallows blocking all roads you have to detour around that. things on the bell way through tysons look good. crash scene in silver spring. crash blocking one lane caution there. all metro rail lines are on time. we still have police investigation in northeast on brian street. that's your traffic. back to you. ♪ this is a cool story all new this morning best friends can certainly feel like family but for one pair of life long pals in hawaii it turns out they are actually are related. these two best friends alan robinson and walter mcfarland they've been buddies for more >> wow. >> they share a special bond. see they never really knew who their parents were. alan was adopted. walter knew his mom but never knew who his father was. walter started digging into dna matching sites, man he did he get the surprise. ed out he alan had several matches including identical x chromosomes. >> it was a shock. >> yeah, it was shock. yeah. definitely a shock. but then we thought about it, compared forearms and ever everything. >> hairy arms. that did it. [ laughter ] >> that and the dna testing. >> right. >> turns out the pair in fact do share the same birth mother. >> wow. >> the brothers and best friends plan to travel and enjoy retirement together.

one of the big films that came out christmas the movie called the post very local story obviously here with the washington post struggled to publish the pentagon papers back the early '70's during the nixon era, and we can show video of the movie if we can. there's some of the trailer here this stars tom hanks and meryl streep and essentially meryl streep plays the publisher of the post, tom hanks plays the executive he had toward and it's an incredible story directed by steven steel berg i spoke to the cast about the bravery of meryl streep's character at this time being the publisher of the post and having to make this gigantic decision of whether or not to publish these papers what could possibly lead them to court and possibly prison time. so i spoke to the cast about her bravery, but also the idea of printing out the real papers, having them onset in their hand and then if you watch breaking bad, they an actor named bob oden kirk who plays a character in this film a r actually gets the papers to the post to get publish. he -- i joked with him about character he plays in breaking bad. watch this. >> people are concerned. about having a woman in charge of the paper. that she doesn't have the resolve to make the tough ch choices. >> thank you, arthur, for your frankness. >> can you talk about the bravery as spec of her character and what you saw from that arc that she took in this role and the what that means for audience today to see that character on screen and in that environment. >> i think it's tough to imagine what must it murph like in 1971, 46 years ago when what it must have been like to be a woman who was head of an organization like that when women just simply didn't hold those positions for the most part. it's one thing to try to imagine it now when it's still very rare, but 46 years ago, incredibly rare. >> she's a reluctant it's really interesting. >> super hero. >> she is not approaching this through a contemporary lense of feminism. she is part of a culture that -- that you know for the first 200 years of this country we dismissed the talents of half the people. >> dozens of stories in here. the times is barely scratched the surface. ten hours till the deadline. so we dig in. >> did they really printout the papers for you guys onset. >> yeah. we were looking at the pentagon papers in that big scene. >> really. >> ben bradley's house. we were working with the copies of the pentagon papers and we're reading them, because they're really intriguing and they're very reel readable actually. >> yeah. >> i know that it's published. you can just buy it on amazon or wherever. and but they're very readable. they're reports from vietnam or their reports about vietnam. because sometimes it's written -- they're written over many years and they go back into the history even back to the french engagement there. it's just a survey of the evident over there and the question of why are we there? what's happening? where is it leading? >> i might have something. must be precious cargo. >> just government secrets. >> i just for some reason i want to see sal walk into that scene as a lawyer as jesse, character also in breaking bad. what do you think sal's advice would have been about publishing the papers? >> hell, yeah. sal would have been let's go. not for the right reasons. because it will blow us up. we'll be a big -- we're going to be in the press because we're doing this. let's go to jail. come on. we'll be worth a lot of money after that. >> get vince gilly on the phone. >> all for creating a raucous. opposite of what a real lawyer would do. a real corporate lawyer would say >> all right. so just to give a little context if you watch breaking bad, the gentleman on the right side played a crooked lawyer in the show. so the joke being now -- actually interesting about it is in the movie the post, the lawyer who comes into tell them not to publish because they could probably go to prison for it is actually another actor from breaking bad. >> oh. >> jesse, who is now on the show far government it is interesting just to hear what owed den kirk's character, he plays the reporter who actually gets the papers and brings them to the post and they're all digging in looking through the papers themselves and he helps to write the article that eventually has the publishing to the pentagon papers so it's interesting how they did it. >> very cool. >> interesting film. >> all right. thanks kev. >> that's out nationwide when. >> it's now. >> in d.c. now. >> dc now and nationwide 12th of january. >> very cool. hi, tuck. good morning. >> good morning. thank you i'm getting some tweets tucker fox5 of very light show reaching enough to be a dusting in few spots. chris out west of winchester telling me they're

all three of them were assaulted and again you mentioned right suspect or suspects at this hour. so if you know anything, saw anything or heard anything early this morning, police are asking for your

hey g morning, maureen and steve. i guess we should be feeling lucky that we're not in the midwest experiencing those single digit temperatures or even the snow in erie, pennsylvania, so i guess it's good news for us here it's only 25 degrees in frederick, maryland and i don't think we'll move much away from that today. i think the high at least is going to be around the freezing mark 32 degrees. so bundle up for sure. down here in historic frederick we see, you know, folks bundled up a lot of people wearing their typical winter gear, heavy coats and things like but on top of the frigid temperatures, there are winter weather advisories for parts north of d.c. which is why we made our way up here, and that is in effect until 11:00 o'clock. now, some of you may see some snow like a small coating of snow, not of one will see it as mike and tucker have been reiterating, but we will all feel this freezing temperature. i want to show you some video that we shot earlier this morning when we were next to a small army of plow trucks with maryland state highway. we were told that more than a dozen crews were mobilized to respond as this weather sort of changes they're all standing by just like us waiting for this snow to happen. vdot as well says they are ready to treat the potential icy roads. so any light snow that does fall they're really concerned that the roads may turn icy. so they're prepared to treat that with the brine and salt and things like that. so definitely be careful if you're heading out later on when the snow starts to come down. hopefully come down for
