the battle of fredericksburg was fought from december 11 to december 15, 1862, in and around fredericksburg, virginia. burnside had replaced mcclellan, who was not seen as aggressive enough in pursuing lee after antietam. burnside's plan was to attack the confederate capital of richmond via fredericksburg. he planned to cross the river at fredericksburg in mid-november and move rapidly on richmond before lee could come to stop him. however, bureaucratic delays prevented burnside from receiving the necessary pontoon bridges in time, and lee moved his army to block the river crossings. when the union army was finally able to deploy its bridges and cross under fire, urban combat resulted on december 11 and 12. union troops prepared to attacked the confederate defensive position south of the city on a strongly fortified ridge west of the city known as mary's heights. union major franklin's grand division pierced the first confederate defensive line of general stonewall jackson to the south but was finally repulsed. burnside ordered the tuitions of sumpter and hooker to launch multiple frontal a

fredericksburg a half a mile. that's where the densest fog is. we don't have any fog in the shenandoah, points west. visibilities are 10 miles or greater. all counties in gray are under the dense fog advise isry. it includes montgomery, loudoun, points south including charles county. this is going to be causing our visibility to stay low for another couple of hour so slow down. use your low beams. that will help. when you have the high beams you're illuminating the fog, which is causing problems on our roads. melissa is seeing quite a

by 4:00 still mild, 68 downtown, mid- to upper 60s in the suburbs, 70 in fredericksburg, a few clouds rolling through tomorrow afternoon and tomorrow night, not going to produce any rain. by 8:00 we're still at 62 downtown, 50s in the burbs. just high cloud around, still in the 50s in the suburbs tomorrow night and 60 downtown at 10:00. that's pretty mild for this time of year. it stays in the 50s through the 11 p.m. hour. overnight clear to partly cloudy, chilly. we lowered them, 35 to 45 and then for morning mostly sunny and pleasant, 35 to 65. so it will be a rapid warm-up, but a chilly start, light jacket probably a good idea. by afternoon partly cloudy, breezy and warmer, southwest winds driving temperatures up to around 70, really a perfect election day, really the best day of the week. next three days, nice for election day, 70, and then 69, more clouds wednesday, some showers wednesday night, but the day will be fine well after rush hour, temperatures near 70, clouds keep temps down a bit. rain and showers thursday and temperatures around 60. that may be a little bit low, but

sos yeah, 75 in fredericksburg. 70 in leesburg. in frederick, 70 in annapolis and we're talking snow in two days. nothing on the radar right now. storm team 4 radar is clear. as we widen out, there is a frontal boundary off the coast, producing moisture toward the southeast. you also see snow back toward the chicagoland area. that's the cold air that's going to begin to rush our way during the day tomorrow. high temperatures tomorrow about 15 to 20 degrees colder than they were today. then we start to see our storm develop. and our storm making its way up the coast, this will be a coastal storm, a nor'easter as it makes its way up, it will have rain and snow around portions of the area. where you live depends on what you're going to get. now, notice where the winter storm watch is, loudoun county, frederick county, northern fauquier county, does not include i-95 and places like southern maryland or east. we're still going to get snow here. rain earlier and changing over to snow. roads should be wet. i'm not anticipating a whole lot

at 11:00, 61 in gaithersburg. 66 in winchester and 64 down forwards fredericksburg. these close to our average highs for the time of year. storm team radar showing things all clear right now. we're going to continue to see clear skies as far as the radar is concerned. but look at all of the cloud cover. that's the blanket that will keep it very warm tonight. the rain back towards the west. but this rain, as it's moving in will quickly die. and we're looking for this system to give us more rain. so your future weather on wednesday, here's wednesday afternoon. 4:00, nice and mild. plenty of cloud cover during the day. but i'm not expecting any rain. the best chances for sprinkles toward the blue ridge. then look what happens early on thursday morning. this will happen wednesday night into thursday morning. the potential for reain, maybe heavy rain. right around 6:00, 7:00. rush hour could be a problem there. thursday at 11:00, before the noon hour, the rain moves to the south and east and is out of here by 1:00, 2:00 for the most part. then we turn rather breezy. most

and above freezing. 37 d.c. 38 in fredericksburg and 33 in gaithersburg. will see the clouds on the increase during the day tomorrow. d the winds pick up too. still chilly thursday with a high of 47. still dealing with a wind chill there. 40 degrees on friday as we cool back down. and then we see temperatures warp. sunday and monday back around 60 degrees, at least start offering around 60 during the day on sunday. rain, though, likely in the afternoon. >> thanks, doug. >>> here's what's coming up next. >> the redskins have the day off but there is plenty to talk about with this team. we'll show you what an nfl hall of fame quarterback had to say about rg3. >>> this is the xfinity sports desk, brought to you by xfinity, your home for the most live spor. >> i'm confused. we're talking about who said what about whom. and it all has to do with rg3 and some people that used to be -- or at least one -- or something like that. tell a story. >> pretty much everyone is taking shots at rg3, the way the team is playing now. robert griffin iii had a bad game and a no

look at your high temperature, 37 in d.c. 33 gaithersburg. 38 degrees around fredericksburg. even areas like waldorf hitting 38 for a high temperature tomorrow. again, much below average. look ws on thursday. we're up to 47 degrees. we're back down a bit for friday. your high at 40. we've got sunshine at the end of the week. but still okay. we have had worse and shouldn't be too much wind by the time we get to the end of the week. right now the first part of your weekend into the mid 40s. i said you only have to hang on just a handful of days. looking forwar wha next. let's go to meteorologist doug kammerer, who has got more on the overall pattern. >> veteran car accid talk about the next four days. that's really the cold spot there. but then by the time we get to day five, we're talking about something a little bit different. we h been talking about this cold air across the country. but i want to show what's happening. minneapolis, chicago, both in the teens right now. boston, 32. atlanta today at 36 degrees. that's the current temperature there. but notice denver, which sta

at his fredericksburg home, an american flag is prominently displayed. but no answer after we knocked on his door. both alleged incidents happened on monday. two women from the woodbridge area told police very similar stories. while stopped at intersections near smoke town road and old bridge road. they say a man pulled up beside them while they were stopped and exposed himself. and then displayed an obscene sexual gesture. the victims were able to call police with a description of the car and license plate. raymond utts faces two counts of indecent exposure and two counts of obscene sexual display. they are misdemeanors. at 6:00, reaction from the folks here in it prince william county. in woodbridge, molette green, news4. >>> an arrest and motive tonight behind the murder of a maryland man discovered dead in his running car. police found sado alex ba dead in his car monday in the town of millersville. that's 40 miles away from his home in gaithersburg. trapelle gunter is charged in the murder. ba was an unlicensed cab driver and he and gunter were in a

and look at the rest. 70 leesburg. 72 martinsburg. 75 in fredericksburg. so we're talking record high temperatures, and we're talking a winter storm. and we do have that winter storm watch in effect. storm team 4 radar, clear right now. as we widen out, though, you can see where the moisture is starting to make its way up across portions of the southeast. this storm system is going to make its way right from the south, right over towards our area. and combine it with colder air also beginning to move our way with when that happens, that rain will change over to snow. so that area of low pressure almost a nor'easter-like storm will come in here and be seeing areas of rain. and yes, this means this is definitely a storm to watch. just how much cold air is going to be in place? the more cold air, the more snow we get. so rain and snow across our area. accumulation likely to the west. we're talking west of i-95. and that's why we have that winter storm watch in effect. for northern fauquier county, loudoun county and frederick county, the national weather serv

south of quantico through stafford county heading toward fredericksburg. all lanes are open, just a lot of volume. northbound 95 is slow through points north of baltimore you see the volume. very slow heading for the legion bridge. travel lanes are open, just a lot of folks out with you. very slow heading up toward frederick, and toward hagerstown, also very slow. >> thanks, jerry. >> we have the potential here -- >> you look outside, 55 degrees. tell you this, if temperatures to the west of us were colder there would be heightened concerns. not going to happen. but in mountainous areas, let's jump into it. first, winter weather advisory, the purple color, close suburbs of washington and baltimore. then in higher elevations, there is colder air, and this storm has to produce its cold air because there is no cold air around to pull in. that is a winter storm warning at 6:00 a.m. these numbers are 50's across the region. 56 in washington, very mild. to the west , 39 in columbus, colder. here's the way you think it will work out. the storm will develop tonigh

a few patches across montgomery county and down towards fredericksburg. everything continues to move to the east northeast at a pretty good clip. temperatures above freezing. what will happen overnight, temperatures will fall. icy spots developing across the entire region late tonight and early tomorrow. 26-33 degrees by morning. that will be the end of the storm and we will look for a second system that might bring a rain or snow showers out of the metro area. otherwise sunshine and clouds and a chili thanksgiving day. >> now the conditions out in northwestern virginia

and fredericksburg. satellite radar showing a couple things. see the clouds moving across our region. clou are insulating and keeps us warmer. notice the direction, southwest, a southwesterly wind and will help to warm us tonight. not nearly as cold. but then we get on the backside of this system. that's the cold side. tomorrow, a little warmer and friday, the cold, the bottom drops out one more time. notice what's going on towards buffalo right now. more snow making its way, not just buffalo. notice the blue here, lake-effec snow warnings. they will deal with more lake-effect snow tonight as that system moves by and see winds pick back up. parts of buffalo cuddle se see another 2 to 3 feet of snow and only seen that a couple times in our history and they will see it back to back days. 28 in leesburg and 28 in culpeper. it's cold but not record not teens. good news. 44-48 degrees, and we're moving in the right direction, right? right back down on friday. we took something off. you need the hat and hood and warm coat. but don't need the gloves t
