getting done and you are heading home after the super bowl parties the roads may be a little bit slick. let me start off though with the impact forecast for this next bout of wintry weather. this is going to be a predominantly rain event. most of the rain overnight sunday and into the day monday. however, enough cold air will be in place by the start of the precipitation that it may begin as a wintry mix. as of now, clear skies and cold temperatures. 34 at reagan national. 30 degrees at dulles as well as b.w.i. marshall. overnight, clouds begin to increase as the weather system approaches. 26 degrees our low temperature tonight. here is that weather system on our storm watch 7 storm scan. you can see the precipitation in the mid section of the country. some of that may greet us through the midday hours tomorrow. if anything, just a light, light wintry mix. then i think after 7:00 p.m. we'll really start to see a better likelihood of some snow sleet, and maybe even freezing rain. but overnight sunday into the day monday, it will be

predominantly rain. so i'm not expecting too many issues on the road for early monday morning. we'll talk more in detail about this entire system and the workweek forecast coming up. >> all right. and more weather in the northeast. the northeast bracing for it. just days after a blizzard hammered neighborhoods. forecasters expect to bring a new storm. 5 inches to a foot of snow in the midwest this weekend. similar amounts in the northeast on monday. boston could get another 10 to 14 inches of snow. this week's blizzard already dropped 2 feet of snow in boston. be sure to stay with abc 7 and wjla.com as we track the winter weather. look for updates on our social media platforms and download our storm watch app so you can receive alerts right to your mobile device. breaking news now concerning isil. the japanese government says it is working to verify the authenticity of a video released by the terrorist group. the video reportedly shows the beheading of a hostage and comes one week after isil killed another japanese hostage

>> you knew the wind last night would bring something different our way. >> exactly. we'll start to see some clouds increase tonight before our next weather system arrives. >> okay. >> overall today it was really nice. just started with the weather bug time lapse for you. lots of sunshine all day long despite the bit erlly cold temperatures. a great time lapse from the weather bug camera at the national institutes for standards and technology in gaithersburg. beautiful western facing

camera. you can see a few high, thin clouds on the horizon. really made for a lovely sunset. it was chilly today. 34 degrees right now at reagan national. at dulles, 30 degrees. 27 at b.w.i. as well as in gaithersburg. 28 chilly degrees in manassas virginia. those high clouds that i was alluding to off to the west you can already start to see a little bit on satellite and radar. the next weather system bringing copious amounts of rain to spots like the chicago area and all the way back down into texas. on the northern extent of this system a little bit of snow. the system itself, will track eastward and it looks more likely that the storm system will track right over us. it's going to be pulling in some warmer air. so although we will start with a little wintry mix tomorrow, tomorrow evening, we'll eventually all change to rain. when the bulk of the moisture moves in it'll all be rain. we're not talking about a lot of snowfall accumulations or anything of that nature. i'll show you our future cast for the rest of the evening. nice and dry.

the clouds increasing overnight. and this one computer simulation which is a little bit of an outlier but i wanted to show you, at 9:00 notice all the blue around here, meaning snow. so i think tomorrow morning there is a slight chance that the warm front lifts to our north. that we may have a little light snow. it would be very, very light. in fact, some of it may not even reach the ground. the rest of our sunday i think pretty much dry but it'll be rather cloudy. now, a lot of you heading to your super bowl parties. tomorrow evening i think it should be fine. it should be dry. however, i caution you, later on after the game is over getting closer to 10:00 notice more of the precipitation spreading into the region. you see a lot of color. so the pink indicating where there may be a little sleet. blue snow. and green rain. so with temperatures still cold today, tomorrow will be at about 40 degrees but the roads may be a little slick especially the untreated roads, sidewalks, bridges overpasses, etcetera. but it's then going to be a quick change as the warmer air moves in overnight and it's going to be all rain.

it did eventually show us shifting to all rain so i'm not concerned with any delays or closings come monday morning. then as colder air moves in as the system exits we could see a little snow at the end. it's really windy conditions as well. so about 40 degrees for the day tomorrow. a light, wintry mix. little to no accumulation expected. kind of a rainy day on monday. 42 the high. 30 on tuesday. it'll get cold once again. we rebound briefly wednesday. and then fall back into the 30's for the rest of the workweek. so this is not going to be a big weather system for us as far as wintry weather goes. but i do caution those people that will be coming home from super bowl parties 9:00, 10:00 that wintry mix may make the roads a little bit slick. >> 90%. pretty certain. >> that's pretty certain. we're feeling pretty confident about this forecast. >> now, not shooting 90% but pretty darned close. >> you have to shoot near 90% if you want to come back after losing a game that you probably

weren't supposed to lose. georgetown looking to show they deserve to be ranked 21st? the country and it was all about the defense with the cats -- caps and canadxñaó5ñ

>> and now the toyota sports desk brought to you by your local toyota dealers. >> action in montreal with the canadiens this was a defensive battle to say the least. montreal goalie price was on fire. alex ovechkin had multiple opportunities for scoring but couldn't get past him. price 17 saves in the second period alone. 36 for the game. holtby was also outstanding. less than a minute to go in the game still scoreless. a good look. holtby uses a glove. he had 29 saves today. this one would go into overtime. no score. montreal had some numbers right

here. he goes in front. pacioretty scores the only goal of the game. capital lose a tight one, the final 1-0. in college hoops, georgetown still holding on to that 21st ranking. it was crayton for the hoyas today winning the first half. 26-17 hoyas. hopkins tries the sweeping hook but isaac copeland comes out of nowhere. towers over everyone for the putback slam. hoyas 20-17 at the half. meanwhile the blue jays were ice cold and georgetown took advantage. 26-2 run. hits the jumper right there. he finished with 24. g-town wins this one big time 67-40. g.w. and rhode island. in a nail biter. less than four minutes to go in the game. 50-49. g.w., terrelle drives the lane, gets the bucket and the foul. that gave rhode island the lead for good. g.w. loses this one. the final 59-65. all right. on to espn's college gameday show virginia student tyler

lewis had to make a half-court shot in 18 seconds to win 18 grand. he missed three but on the fourth you see here he nails it. the crowd goes nuts. kimberly jumps on to the scorer's table of course. i'm actually a little jealous because it's a lot of dough. but congratulations to tyler in the end. i'm not hating him. well the pressure was on serena at the australian open final. her opponent maria sharapova. serena going for her sixth australian open title and she took command early first set. serena up 5-3 with a set point. she blows the backhand by sharapova taking the first lead or first set 6-3. williams is fired up of course. second set went to tie-break. serena match point and ends in style with and wins. she passes chris everett and martina nat nat with her 19th

grand slam title, second all time in the open. round three of the waste management open, italy's francesco molinari tease off on the three. the ball rolls into the cup for the eighth. something you don't see too often. fans start throwing beer cans. that's how you know it's super bowl weekend in arizona. never seen that before. all right. and a final note. the wiz are back action tonight hosting the toronto raptors over at verizon. john wall still questionable for tonight. kimberly, i'm pretty sure you have the d.v.r. set for tonight's big matchup in the a.c.c. >> virginia-duke? yes. >> you're ready for it. >> that's going to be a game. be

>> not a shock the detroit lions are not in the super bowl

but that didn't stop an actual lion from making a pitch for the game. lion at the zoo in salt lake city burst out of his pen and went straight to a new england patriots helmet instead of the seattle seahawks helmet. the zoo's previous super bowl picker the orangutan was 7-7 in his super bowl picks. wouldn't be the raw meat they put in that. >> destroyed the helmet. >> of course he did. a quick look at the forecast. >> for the most part, most of tomorrow will be dry but i think especially as we get later into the evening as you're coming home especially from those super bowl parties maybe a little bit of a wintry mix but then warmer air moves in and it's going to be pretty much all rain. overnight sunday is going to be a rainy monday morning commute and then the temperatures drop. maybe a few snow showers as the system exits. it's going to be blustery, too. tuesday noticeably colder. 30 degrees. at least the rest of the workweek shout be relatively dry. >> we thank you for joining us. we'll see you back here at
