Theres a lot of wrenches to be thrown into the forecast for you. The first is that we deal with dry air. Dew points are in the teens so we have to poiften up the atmosphere. Once it starts to get closer to us, its not going to be coming down. You heard me say the word virga thats precipitation that evaporates before hitting the ground. Once it gets the atmosphere moist we will see the onset of this be sleet and snow and it will switch over to rain. Thats whats in store for later today this afternoon and possibly this evening. Now we zoom in and this is whats going on right now. We are nice and dry and thats the scenario going through the remainder of the morning. Lets switch over and show you whats going on in terms of temperatures. Perry hall coming in at 27 degrees right now. We are at 24 in pylesville and the temperature in Ellicott City coming in at 27. So with this, we are cold. Make sure to bundle up and this forecast will be cold as we head through the rest of today. Lets check the abc2 timesaver traffic with lauren cook good morning.

Now the driver of the truck has been transported to the hospital with nonlife threatening injuries. No delays are in the area as of yet. There is still some temporary theres activity along theshoulder but no delays making the push up to the maryland Pennsylvania State line.

Thats a look at your morning commute. Now over to you. 3 minutes after 5. New this morning major developments when it comes to whether maryland should have tougher gun laws. A sen isate committee voted on a mesh did a Senate Committee voted and measure last night and linda so has the details. Reporter the sen isate Judicial Proceedings Commission voted 74 in favor of the bill. Law makers debated it for four hours. Stricter gun control is one of governor omalleys top priorities. It would ban assault weapons something that became a hotly debated issue after the sandy hook issue. Some changes would prohibit anyone from owning a handgun if they have been involuntary committed for mental health. The panel adopted an amendment to cut the fee for a license and renewal. They cut the required number of training hours from 8 hours to 4. The vote was down party lines. All but one voted in favor of the bill. Republicans voted against it. I think the bill was thoughtful and creatively and sensitively drafted. I dont believe we are trampling on anyones Second Amendment rights its reasonable. Regretfully very little changed about the governors original bill. The concerns we had about the bill have not been addressed by the committee. There are close votes and think it would have made a very, very bad bill just a little bit better. Reporter the billhead to the full senate for debate next week. Linda so, abc2 news.
