In purple are the areas under a Winter Weather advisory all west and northwest of the metro area. You get farther north and west thats a winter storm warnings and the mountains mainly along either side of i81. What you see in this representation in pink this is areas of sleet and snow mixed together or one or the other. Primarily snow in the blue and mostly rain to the east or melting snow flakes showing up here. Its the mixed bag back and forth, precipitation types that we showed you last night would be the big feature of that storm and because of that mixed feature, youll have to get pretty high up in the mountains to get any significant accumulations of anything. Temperatures fortunately above freezing. Some of the sleet will take a little while to melt. The ground is cold but above freezing so the sleet pellets will melt. It will take a while. If you have sleet on the windshield when youre driving out tonight you have sleet under your tires. Please be careful. For most of us it will be rain. The storm is centered over southeastern florida. It will move across central Southeast Georgia up to the coastline and off the midatlantic coast tomorrow morning. In the process, spreading precipitation. I will tell you this weve noticed the heavy elements of this storm are shifting off shore. Thats good news. I dont think right now based on what im saying well have heavy amounts of precipitation.

And clearly, the areas of snow will be confined to the much Higher Elevations and well get through it all just fine during the day. In fact by tomorrow afternoon, the sun will be out in many areas. Hit 40 degrees and get gusty breezes to help dry things up. Snow will continue in the highest elevations tomorrow afternoon and as far as the amounts, we think mainly rain. Even with a little mix. Mainly rain d. C. East southeast, south and southwest. You get to the sleet and snow mushy stuff to an inch in the northern and western suburbs and eventually the Higher Elevations much higher amounts. Quick look at the weekend forecast, for tomorrow shows you that things will warm up to near 40 and the precipitation will end in the morning with a little afternoon sunshine. The next seven days has an Interesting Development if youre joining us and havent heard about this. It looks like an Alberta Clipper will come in sunday night to monday morning and with a colder environment, we have a 70 chance of seeing snow and enough to accumulate and then clearing skies for the balance of next week.

Boy, this is a good night to sit down and watch some sports. No question about it. You didnt like watching the maryland game last night. The terps regroup. Hoosiers three point shooters. Roger federer gets buried down under. Who has had enough of this football deal . Come on man. For most fans its hot air coming up next in sports. The deflated ball investigation in the nfl is certainly deflated the spirit of patriots fans. Really anybody who follows football. Patriots kicked the colts behinds and new won that game. If they broke the rules punish them. This is dragging on. It dominated the talk at the practices but it seems as though the players are tired of it as well. A super bowl bound patriot looks at it this way. We cant let anything take our excitement away. We we worked hard to get here. And everybody in that locker room is excited to play that game. We need to be. We should be. Change of focus. Highly ranked maryland terrapins could have played their best game of the season and still lost at indiana last night. The hoosiers made 18 of their 22 shots in the second half. The junior guard was unconscious. He was in a zone. Made 78 three point attempts. Maryland trailed by three at the half but indiana started the second half on a 142 run. Sometime to start the bus and head back to college park and start working on sundays home game against northwestern. Our play of the day is set up by the clippers guard chris paul. Deandre jordan spin lopez, alleyoop, oop. The clippers led the nets 7037 at the half. Call the mercy rule high flying gravity defying Deandre Jordan sucking the soul out of lopez. For tennis fans Roger Federer has been knocked out of the australian open. He was beaten by 46th ranked andreas seppi. Used to be a surprise if federer didnt win a major.

On kobe bryants injured shoulder shows a torn rotator cuff. He may be out the rest of the season and who knows about his career. Kobe is 36 years old.
