by 5:30 temps don't move, 27 in gaithersburg, right around freezing downtown. by 9:30 we're in the 20s. if you're out late tomorrow night, these are temps in the teens. wind chills late tomorrow night will be in the single digits. by 7:00 wind chill teens and 20s and the same at 1:00. dress for that. time to think layers again. so 40s to start. 33 at 11:00, 34 at 1:00. good news about sunday, it's going to be dry, 32, no winds and then 33 monday with sunshine as well. now next seven days we're looking at temperatures generally cold right on through thursday. there's your chance for snow showers tuesday, better chance wednesday. perhaps a pattern change back in the 40s with sunshine next friday. >> i feel different theme moving for this. >>> we're taking you way, way back next, but hey, new jon it's time for sleep number's 'lowest prices of the season' on the only bed that adjusts on both sides to your ideal comfort your sleep number setting. and snoring? does your bed do that? it's the lowest prices of the season on the queen c4 mattress with now only $1199, sa

notice the temperatures. 32 in gaithersburg and frederick. this is the area i'm worried about currently. even out toward leesburg, even out toward manassas we have a lot of frozen ground here. we're bringing in a lot of reports for these locations. herndon. a lot of reports around herndon area for ice. that is going to be a big problem overnight. look at the temperatures. let's time these out. this is future temperatures going through tonight into 6:00 tomorrow morning. notice where we are. 31 d.c. back into the 20s some locations. earlier tonight we were hoping that we would see delays for many of the area's school districts, and that's exactly what we have, because watch what happens by 10:00 tomorrow. everybody now above freezing. we start to see the melting. not only that, we'll start to see the sunshine. things will melt very, very quickly after 8:00, 9:00. i really think the two-hour delay is going to mean all the world to the kids getting out there, whether it's the sidewalks or the driveways that are going to be iced over early tomorr

luray at 21. 19 at baltimore. 17 around gaithersburg. feeling colder than that. we have 10 to 15 miles per hour wind. we have single digit wind chills around the area and it will only get colder. the evening, the temperatures will stay in the 20. i don't expect the snow. you have a super moon. if you check it out, but you need to layer up. we are eyeballing the potential for snow. we have that and more in a few minutes. larry: we'll find out how many layers you need by downloading the free stormwatch7 weather app. nancy: tonight police are trying to figure out why a man stabbed a young mother to deh crime is raising flags for the mayor. >> we are on 38th plait in maryland. 8:10 the call came in. the young woman had been stabbed. arriving here the authorities determined it was a young mother. domestic incident. she was taken to the hospital and tied according to the mayor of brentwood who lives in the same neighborhood and says domestic violence is a growing problem. people don't get help. they don't go to police. they don't want to talk to the police. >> the mayo

., 25 in reston, 22 the current temperature in gaithersburg. so, another day that is below freezing and that's why the potomac is frozen. and it's going to get a lot more frozen over the next couple of days because we have colder air coming in. frigid air continues. we might get freezing in spots but not a lot. tracking storm for thursday, a chance for snow in parts of the area. not everybody is going to see it but i'm going to break it down for you. the coldest air moves in. i said our wnd to 40 degrees colder than that. >> that's insane. >> think about that. >> that's insane. >> my house is not going to be able to take this. i just know it's not. it's hard to keep the chill from getting into the house and you probably need an extra layer while you're at work as well. >> that's right. it's the same at some area schools. check out this tweet from our scott macfarlane. it shows 48 degrees inside a montgomery county classroom today. that's a classroom, indoors. but for another school district, the trouble started before the bell rang. >> news4's

take a look at the numbers, in single digits, 2 in d.c., 6 in gaithersburg. waking up tomorrow, 0 north and west as far as the wind chill is concerned. a brutal tuesday. many of us going back to work and school starts, too. somara theodore in the weather center with more what you can expect tomorrow and the next few days. >> yeah, it's going to be super cold. new year, new you, same cold weather. you saw the foles lieels like temperatures. we'll have the wind with us tomorrow morning so it's going to be blustery. by the afternoon we are very bright, plenty of sunshine tomorrow afternoon, still very cold. pack the lunch, it's going to be hard to walk anywhere. by 5:00 p.m., the drive home frigid. we are dry and the winds are calming tomorrow evening so that's good. just how cold is it? we had to do a little digging in the storm team4 weather center. the last time we had say degrees was in 2004. so, yeah, it has been warm or warmer the past couple of winters, but it is going to be downright cold and normal this time of year should be 44 degrees. here's look at

gaithersburg at 38. dulles at 39. we have subfreezing temperatures out to the west so martinsburg, winchester, cumberland some of these valley areas kind of holding onto the cold air as long as they can but later on this afternoon temperatures expected to warm up for all. satellite and radar nothing going on locly we may see a little bit of sun this morning but more clouds than anything throughout the day today. next storm system is getting itself organized out to the west. this will be a great lakes runner, meaning the center of the storms going to go up through the great lakes. that's going to leave us in the warm sector meaning this an all rain event. sorry kids i think you had enough days off early this week. this is why storm track matters. when storms go down to our south they wrap cold air down around them and then we're dealing with snow here in the d.c. region. i mention this one though not going to do that. this one is going to go up to our west. warm air gets filtered in ahead of it and instead we deal with

. -1 in gaithersburg. -2 in frederick. wind chills through the afternoon hours, not a tremendous improvement as we move into the evening. only around three or four degrees. we will see the wind begins to pick up a little bit and we will see temperatures going to remain well below average for the next 48 hours. some relief on the seven-day. let's go to ocean city, where ryan hughes is in the major -- middle of a major dig out. ocean city is digging out, trading sand for snow as they are getting pounded by the latest storm. blowing,nd was , the snow was going sideways. ,yan: for the first time barbara is venturing out after shoveling her driveway. she wanted to take a picture of paradise frozen over. >> heavy yesterday, blowing yesterday. it is heavier. ryan: the boardwalk is buried in the ocean is crashing into the frigid pier. joe theobald is the director of emergency services. >> right now, people can stay safe. the roads are still treacherous. public works has been working nonstop. made its way down the boardwalk to try

temperature 8 in gaithersburg. 10 in quantico. 9 in winchester. the winds are gusting over 20 miles per hour. the wind chills remain a significant factor in your forecast. minus 10 now, the feels like factor in frederick, maryland. minus 10 in winchester. know it's not going to improve at all during the day. afternoonpe upper teens. wind chills will be in the single numbers all day. it'll turn bitter cold tonight. tomorrow morning, we have a shot at tying or breaking record lows. we missed them all this morning by a couple of degrees. tomorrow morning though, 5 at national. that one is probably safe. 1 is the record tomorrow morning at dulles. that one is in jeopardy. and 3 is the record tomorrow morning at bwi. that's also in jeopardy of being tied or broken. here's my forecasted lows for wakeup temperatures tomorrow morning. 1 above in gaithersburg. zero in manassas and culpeper.tl be below zero without the wind. just cold. tomorrow, increase of clouds and a return of a south wind will make it a smidgen warmer. mid to upper 20s across the area.

gaithersburg 22, 24 in manassas. look at the winds. these winds gusting close to 40 miles per hour right now. 38 gaithersburg, 38 in frederick, 39 in hagerstown and 40, near 40 towards manassas. could gust to 50. that's why we have the wind advisory in effect. that wind advisory going to 7:00 tonight. wind chill advisory now, little bit different, wind advisory is solely for winds. wind chill advisory is when wind and chill combines. notice the darker blue, towards blue ridge, western maryland, this is the area under a wi7bd chill warning. it could be -- rather, 15 below 0, could be even colder than that. wouldn't be surprised to see0 it's coming from and how it gets this cold around our region. amelia is taking a look at that from the storm center. >> exactly, doug. this storm system was so strong it was able to dislodge from the polar vortex. we've been talking about this term, it is not a new term, it's a buzz word so let's talk about it. here's where the polar vortex typically is, around the north pole is a low pressure with arctic

current temperature 19 in gaithersburg, 18 in culpepper, 14 in manassas. with the wind, again, it's not much. notice 19 was the temperature in gaithersburg that tells you that we're dealing with some very light winds. that's some great news here. i think you're going to stay fairly light tomorrow. not all that bad. it's thursday we have to worry about. this is for thursday, too. winter storm watch in effect. not for our region. it's just off to the south and east. cambridge, salisbury, ocean city over towards rehoboth, all under winter storm watch now. the potential there for three, maybe 6 inches of snow in those areas. now take a look at the rest of this. you guys will love this. jim handly, you went to school right there, buddy. >> i sure did. >> gainsville, florida, under winter weather advisory. florida state university under a winter storm warning. they're actually cancelling classes now. up the coast here, charleston, winter storm warning there, 1 to 2 inches of snow with ice mixing in all the way up towards parts of north carolina. this is really u

gaithersburg is six. where is peter living. >> peter is living in saint mary's county. >> what is he secretly tweeting from you maui. >> he loves this kind of weather. >> 1 degree manassas. 2 degrees for culpeper and peter's down here in saint mary's county. >> uh-huh. >> five in leonardtown. >> you can have it, peter. >> one in fredericksburg. >> keep it there. >> quantico, you're 3 degrees. baltimore 8 degrees. hagerstown six. watch what happens when i push the button whether i want to or not, it just happens. minus 13 is the feels-like temperature for gaithersburg. the wind is not blowing in leonardtown so the temperature feels-like temperature is the same as the air temperature. same for fredericksburg. culpeper has come up a little bit. they were minus 2 degrees. here's the fair skies now. clear skies on top of us. lots of sunshine today. arctic air mass coming in place. it's a really, really high dome of pressure which means it's all sinking air, lots of sun today, pressures are high, okay. and the

minus three at dulles, minus three at gaithersburg and minus four at baltimore. pretty good indication that this is really dangerous weather. we do have winter weather alerts, windchill warnings areas far west, allegheny, mineral, pen dell ton, here, the windchill warning means that the actual windchill factor is going to be as low as 25 below zero. where the windchill advisories in effect, all the other areas shaded in blue, it could go as low as ten degrees below, dangerous and only takes 30 minutes for exposed skin to freeze and you get frost bite. the arctic air stays in place once we get into the weekend. not getting sunday, nothing significant. it will be significant considering where we've been, still remaining very cold, that arctic air express, here's your planner, by midday, 18 degrees is your air temperature, and 20 degrees by the 4:00 hour. and i'm telling you once again, to take it seriously. because hypothermia and frost bite are real. if you notice a lack of feeling or anything in the areas you got to check for frost bite, shivering and numbness, d

wind at 30 miles an hour, 30 d.c., 29 gaithersburg. wind chill in atlantic, 11 below state college, 12 below pittsburgh. that's the warm est temperature, 12 degrees for the temperature in richmond. that's what we're expecting, so cold tonight if you're heading out on it's date night for many of us. through to tomorrow and into tomorrow night, if you're thinking, let's not go out tonight, honey, go out tomorrow night, still going to be just as cold tomorrow night, but much warmer next week. not only 40s, we have a couple days in the 50s, some computer models say 60s. that makes a lot of people happy. >> yes, it does. be like sweater weather. >> you're looking at two of them right now, as a matter of fact. >> spending any amount of time-out side can be dangerous to some. in prince george's county there is a desperate search for a man who has been missing three days. >> his family members are really concerned about him because he's suffering from dementia. they're hoping that he is just found someplace warm to stay for the time being whil

feels like six in gaithersburg, three for dulles. winchester you're already feeling below zero at three below. 12 for annapolis, baltimore coming in feeling like 8 degrees and taking you forward with a prediction of where wind chills may be tonight, it could be feeling as cold as 20 degrees below zero in cumberland as expected. 11 degrees below zero for gaithersburg so that's why i was saying maybe the 10-degree below may not be a cold enough range. tomorrow morning our wind chill predicter predicting 20 degrees below zero in many areas. that is very difficult. you're hearing about some about delayed openings, it's because of the cold, not the snow. and the wind will continue to blow and drift a little bit of snow that we had locally onto the roads. tomorrow evening 6 o'clock is not as bad as the morning but it doesn't feel great out there. so if you're going to be planning an evening out make sure you have your layers. friday at 11 o'clock look how cold it still feels from 16 to 18 degrees below zero north and west 7 degrees below z

but then you get up towards frederick is 32, gaithersburg, 34, it's not going to take much of a drop for some places to get below freezing. down to the south we haven't had as many problems, maybe you don't have as much of a build-up because south winds helped you stay warmer. that wind direction will change a little bit tomorrow, we'll see more of a northwest wind developing but lots of sunshine, and again, chilly start mostly in the places are in the upper 20's as we look at our overnight low temperatures but we'll go for 32 here in the district. so the rain is gone but few icy spots will remain in the overnight hours in the first part of tomorrow. couple hour worth. then we're heading for 47 degrees tomorrow afternoon. at mostly sunny day. a warmer afternoon for sure, the warmest day we've had in quite some time. we have to go well before christmas to find day in the 40's. as for the rain, continuing to push away, still light showers moving constitutes lower portions of delaware and maryland on the eastern shore, but we're going to go see everybody else slowly but surely clearing
