the downpour combined with wicked whipping winds made for a tore rend us commute home and it's not over yet. we -- for a horrendous commute home and it's not over yet. thanks for joining us tonight. i'm shawn yancy. >> i'm laura evans. a winter weather advisory is in effect for some areas and flooding is a major concern tonight. we have team coverage on the winter weather, but we'll begin with sue live in northwest. what are conditions like right now? >> reporter: so much colder, a good 20 to 30-degree temperature drop around the region. it's all now about the whipping wind. just about 15 minutes ago it looked like a winter hurricane was going through. as we like behind us, it's still raining here, but that really intense rain even though it looks intense here, trust me, it is a lot lighter, but this produced a lot of flooding. we've had reports of 1 1/2 to 3 inches of rain across the region. with that dropping temperature we know a lot of you want to know if we've still got some

snow coming and yes, we do expect this to change over to a bit of snow. we sent one of our photographers to hagerstown to see what it looked like out there. we're chasing the snow for you. lights look that the picture and guess what? not a -- let's look at that picture and guess what? not a lot of snow in hagerstown, mostly rain. do we have any reports of snow anywhere? we've got 1 to 3 inches, hightown in highland county about 7 inches, but toward win chest are a trace -- winchester, a trace. it does not look like it's going to produce a lot of snow for most of the metro area, maybe a rain/snow mix. we want to talk about the map. these wind gusts will stick around. it's gusting to 20 miles an hour now at d.c. earlier we had a gust of 50 at st. mary's county where they also had some thunder and lightning and a severe thunderstorm watch on the lower portion of the

delmarva where temperatures were near 70 today. the wind gusts will continue, but this storm is actually rapidly going to move out. give you a little idea as we continue with some heavy rain, the worst of it now has just pushed a little north of d.c., the tremendous reports of flooded roads. now we continue on because winds will gust over 40 miles per hour tonight. so expect that. temperatures are going to be falling into the 30s. they're already there in a lot of places and yes, this will end as a little bit of wet snow probably by 1:00 or 2:00 in the morning. take a quick look at those winter weather advisories. the national weather service is considering dropping some of these counties out. loudoun and howard county are in it, too but the possibility of a small amount of snow, we don't think it's going to be enough to cause huge problems. nevertheless those temperatures are going to be a big deal. gary is standing by to talk about the radar and the flooded roads which is a big part of this story and so dangerous at

night. >> reporter: absolutely. we still have a flood warning in effect for the majority of the area. we'll get to that in a second, but this is going to be more wet now than white. it looks like very little snow. we'll get a little mixture, but in terms of even getting coverage out there, there's going to be minimal amounts of snow accumulating. let's go over to vipir and see the big picture here. the heaviest of the rain finally moving out a little bit. the snow mainly confined to western maryland, northwestern sections of maryland now and up into pennsylvania. we bring you a little closer to home now with our max hd radar. this gives you an idea from annapolis to severna park and out towards the bay, that's the heaviest of the rain and it continues to move off to the east and northeast at a pretty good clip. that is the heaviest of the rain. there's a little bit of moderate rain back over from loudoun county, montgomery county, but it looks like the back edge of this is only

probably two to three hours way. winchester is starting to dry out. those communities along i-81, you can see a little lingering snow, westminster, northern sections, carroll county, northern sections frederick county into parts of washington county, but right now again this looks like it's going to be mainly wet. we'll make some adjustments to some of our potential snowfall totals coming up in a few minutes when sue joins you back here with the full forecast, but again thank goodness the heavirain is moving out. we have a large chunk of the area under a flood warning worried about rivers and streams, not flash flooding, a little bit different there. sue? >> reporter: that's for sure, seeing a lot of ponding on roads. we'll address the morning commute. don't think snow will be a big problem in the morning, maybe a couple slick spots for a few of you. if you have some snow, please send us your pictures to www.myfoxdc.com. we'd love to see it in case we don't get any here in the district. more details on the forecast.

region. there is a little snow up to the north a bit east of hagerstown, but i think it will be confined with rain/snow mix north and west and it's just about over everywhere else. let me show you the weather maps, going to back up because i want you to see something very quickly and that is that these winter weather advisories which had included loudoun, montgomery and howard county, those got dropped a little while ago, still in effect until 1 a.m. for frederick and washington county and the panhandle in west virginia and that's it. i really don't think you'll get much up there either. now we had some measurable snow in the mountains, 3 to 5 inches, frostburg 1 to 3 inches, but this is really pulling out as our area of low pressure now is coming up through central virginia and that's going to begin the process of shutting off the rain, but it continues to pull in the cold and the big wind. this is an idea of our rain totals over the last 24 hours. these are estimated by doppler, but doing a pretty good job,

charles county, you still have a flood warning, you've had 3.3 inches of rain. your flood warning goes till 1:30, same for st. mary's county, 2 1/2 inches in some of these regions, most of the area still under a flood warning because of small stripes and creeks filling up rapidly -- streams and creeks filling up rapidly. a little lighter up to our north. we have had a record breaking day in terms of rain at reagan national, 3.04, a new daily record. centreville, virginia, 2.33, a new record set at dulles. this is really going to be about the rain and flooding potential, but look at these temperatures, down to 37 degrees and we're in the 20s and low 30s on the other side of the mountain, so definitely a cold night and a cold thursday. meanwhile earlier we were at 60 degrees. we've had a huge drop in temperature. some parts of southern maryland and over to the beaches were close to 70 degrees today and some of you saw thunder and lightning as this very dynamic storm came up from the south. these are the wind chills we're

looking at and with those winds gusting to 25 miles an hour, it definitely feels pretty chilly out there. actually those are the temperatures and these are the wind chills, 27 is what it feels like in d.c. tomorrow 44 degrees, dry, blustery, 48 degrees on friday, saturday 45 and another front comes through and sunday 41 degrees, but at least we're going to be talking about drier conditions and yes, you'll have school team most places unless you're far to the west where -- tomorrow most places unless you're far to the west where you in a have had 3 or 4 inches up in the mountains. there's the sunshine. we'll keep a cold run going. this is actually now below normal which is 49 degrees. we're up and we're down, but we're not going to be too stormy the next several days. today was gravy of great and there are still many road closures. how about this?
