teens throughout virginia, maryland, west virginia. under this clear sky we'll stay cold in the teens for another couple of hours. it's going to take a while to get above freezing. we have a few high clouds drifting in if the south and west, a few from the northwest, as well. quite a bit of sunshine this morning. sunrise at 7:25. through the day, we'll gradually climb above freezing after 9:00 this morning. then get up to around 40 or so during the afternoon. layer up if you're going to any of the events today. we'll have our temperatures then hold steady above freezing through the night under a cloudy sky. maybe a little sleet developing in the shenandoah valley, coming in from south to north this evening. and then perhaps around the metro area tomorrow morning, especially areas north and west of washington, there could be a little sleet around. those little tiny balls of ice that hit the ground and bounce around. and they will be staying above perhaps maybe even accumulating in the roadways, especially ramps and bridges above ground, that could be freezing up tomorrow morning. we'll watch it for you.

elsewhere, we'll get rain developing as we get above freezing through the day on tuesday with highs in the mid 50s. rain ending tuesday night. sun back on wednesday. will be near 40 in the morning hours and breezy, blustery winds. it will bring in colder air and temperatures will drop to near 30 by late in the evening on wednesday. then near 20 by dawn thursday. thursday, friday, and saturday cold weather returning. but maybe some chilly rain on saturday it looks like now. no snow and a bit milder on sunday. danella, how's traffic? good morning. still seeing the accident, 95 south at 234, blocking the left side of the roadway. right now, crews are working to tow the tractor-trailer out of the ditch here. this accident just a single vehicle crash. expect -- use caution. volume still light. i can't say develop delays because volume is so light. are you able to get by. just use caution while crews are working to clear the accident. 95 north is good, as well. here's forecast parkway. clear making your way to 395. i'm not seeing anything really
