fredericksburg. this is part of an area here that is developing line that stretches from the maryland-pennsylvania border south through north carolina and there are tons and tons i should say half a more active tornado warnings in the area down there. this particular one until 5:15 is for the city of fredericksburg. ajis sant spection of -- adjacent section of spotsylvania county. it's moving quickly now. 45 to 50 miles per hour. other storms moving at 60 miles per hour. this is a fan we put on here to give you an idea of the town and the times that the storm could develop. we haven't seen ground report yet but the doppler radar indication of rotation with the storm. we are looking to brockroad at 5:06. hart word and stafford at 5:23. so it is taking a track and then it will move it to the stafford county area, western stafford county west of i-95. keep a close eye on that. with the history of the storms today high likelihood that is a tornado making ground contact. when we see a system like this tha

fredericksburg, mostly rain. you may see a little snow. southern maryland, maybe a little snow, maybe a coating to an inch. that's about it. most of it should melt and i think the roads will be fine. this is the area of highest concern. 3 to 6 inches, gaithersburg, maybe columbia, frederick, around the bowie area towards laurel. this is the area we'll be watching. some computer models give us more than that, others a lot less. a very tough forecast. we'll be talking much more about this. veronica will be back in a few minutes with the seven-day forecast. wait until you hear how cold the windchills get for valentine's weekend. >> bad timing. >> yeah. >> all right, doug. >>> well, another first for the baby panda at the national zoo. this is something that people are also talking about. bei bei climbed a tree this morning. took him several tries and mama helped get him back down. bei bei is now two weeks shy of his six-month birthday. and you know what i love about that? >> what. >> she's really attentive. she is one, you know, doting mama.

we will be down to richmond fredericksburg, and 95 and 85. and that seems to be a higher threat than what we are dealing with. we are talking about damaging wind gusts and torrential down pours and an isolated tornado in the strongest of storms that we could be seeing late this afternoon and this evening. a big storm, spinning back here, but with all of the weather and in the upper levels of the atmosphere, the winds are going like this and that creates a vacuum and a lot of lift and this is is a tornado watch box. with several severe thunderstorm and tornado warnings across north carolina. and that whole mess is lifting and southern maryland, is looking a little warmer. and they have a better chance, in the northern neck, than we do. especially north and west. but we have seen waves of showers, moving quickly to the north, at about 50 miles an hour, so montgomery county here, and boy, mount airy is about to get dumped on here. scattered through frederick and lord county and carol. there is another line of showers not far from front royal and

we have freezing rain reported really as far south as fredericksburg. this had me a wee bit worried. in the last hour, this is all in the form of freezing rain. nothing crazy heavy but when you have light freezing rain, temps accumulate a little bit. don't see any major problems but be careful walking to get the paper tomorrow or to your car. allow some extra time if you're in places like hagerstown and frederick. i still feelab like 6:00 in th morning, everybody will be okay. if you leave before then, scrape your windshield. yellow weather alert on tuesday, and heavy rain. and a lot of schools have delayed a little bit. so if you're around the bus stop between 9:00-11:00, it's going to be pouring to beat the band. heavy rain ends around 1:00 a.m., that's good news, and chilly and dry wednesday and thursday before our warm-up over the weekend. we still have a flood watch in effect for the entire metro area right through tuesday. i would say an inch of rain is pretty much a good bet pretty much across the board, and with the snow and the ice, a little c

i want to show you what is going between richmond and fredericksburg, dropping southeast. it is going to continue to drop southeast, but this is not the big deal. that big deal is the fact that this rain is part of a reinforcing shot of colder air that will be dropping in. you can see the swing of the clouds, a little shot of colder air raced through here that will drop through by 10:00 11:00 tonight, and we may see a sprinkle but nothing big is expected out of it. eventually it will warm back up. there again is a stray shower, and here is where things are an hour from now. by 11:00, the sprinkles that i showed you between fredericksburg and richmond could come dropping through, but most of us likely won't see if. -- won't see a thing. . also the envelope 30's overnight -- most of us will be in the low 30's tonight. around 40th and 42 during the day, as warm as we will get. it will still be called on friday morning, before we move into friday afternoon. i'm going a little warmer than this -- 45, 46, 48-50 for friday. yeah, it was cool today, colder tomorrow. then during th
