Reporter these First Responders from Montgomery County fire and rescues Swift Water Team are practicing for the inevitable. Each year the frozen ice on ponds and lakes lead to accidents and even deaths. It was a year ago this month a 10yearold boy fell through the ice on a drainage pond in gaithersburg and died. People think theyre safe they dont think theyre that deep, and dont realize from the surface exactly how much water is in them. Reporter the ice on this pond is several inches thick. It doesnt take much to break through. We consider all ice to be dangerous, and that was what we would advise anybody. If you see the ice, stay off the ice. Reporter if you or someone youre with doe ice, first try not to panic. The most important thing you can do is to survive the first 60 to 90 seconds of the cold shock when you hit the cold water. So as simple as it sounds keep your head above water and not breathe a lot of cold air into your system and try to find something to hang on to. So try to get to the edge of the ice where you fall in. And just hold on and keep your head above water. Reporter and if you see someone fall through the ice, dont go in the water after them. While you may think its safe, the cold water can cripple you. And it doesnt take long for you to start to have cognitive degradation from the cold.

A lot of reasons why she didnt think she was. That baby is topping ten pounds. A lot of the reasons make sense. Weve got that story coming up. But first, weve got to look at the weekend coming and today was actually kind of pleasant. Wasnt too bad. A lot of folks were telling me it felt like a heatwave compared to where we have been. Minus 10 to 40. And take the wind out of the equation. Exactly. And sunshine and all ofall right. But the big story tonight is the refreeze and the fact that were going to see some black ice. Its all about what you dont see a lot of times, right . And thats just it. A lot of melting of the snow today, so its going to refreeze tonight, make sure you use caution, watch your speed on bridges, overpasses on ramps, offramps. I know we tell you all of the time but again, just know that were expecting temperatures to drop under the freezing mark by look at this 7 00 8 00 or so. 29 degrees by 9 00 this evening. By 11 00 p. M. Were down to 26 already. And there could be a little bit of wind too that comes in late tonight. As far as cloud cover goes were in the clear here. Some clouds to our west just a few. Frederick and winchester. Overall, this weekend is going to be really nice until we get to late sunday. During the late afternoon, early evening hours. Let me show what i mean. This is your future weather. You can see were cold and clear tonight. Clouds again staying to the west. By afternoon tomorrow its sunshine across the area. We stay under the influence of a big area of High Pressure that helps us out and early sunday were clear. Watch this clouds start moving in around lunch time on sunday just a few. And then more clouds by 3 00 4 00 in the afternoon. And this is all coming in with the next weath thats going to be arriving monday morning. And a little later in the newscast ill talk more about that the potential for some wintry type of weather that could impact roads again. Sunny and pretty tomorrow. Look at this hourly forecast. Holding around 17 degrees. Around 7 00 to 9 00 a. M. Tomorrow. And 11 00 a. M. 19 we hit the 20 degree mark by 1 00. High temperature tomorrow just 28 degrees. So were not going to be nearly as comfortable as we have been today. But at least weve got sunshine around for tomorrow. And still, i think, if you can get to maybe a drivethrough car wash it would be a good idea to knock salt and chemicals off the car. Heres a look at your outdoor impact. Icey patches around tomorrow morning. Sunday dry, warmer. Sunday is the day to get out and get moving. Even though were expecting some afternoon clouds. Really is going to be i think, all in all, a pretty nice weekend. Its not going to be raining, but rain is in the forecast right now. On monday there is a chance the High Temperature is 38 but its all about what were looking at in the Early Morning. And that is 31degree temperature. A lot of other neighborhoods starting out in the 20s. And with temperatures in the 20s starting out on monday there is the possibility of some Early Morning delays. Maybe one or two.

Coming up later in the newscast real going to focus hard on monday. Ill take you hour by hour and show you our future weather where it puts those ch
