They believe the robberies were committed by this man. The most recent was yesterday around noon at the wells fargo bank.

A new website should help families stay safe from the zika virus. Ike leggett and other lead respect will speak about it today and how residents can use it. When you tell your grandkids about the historic january blizzard, how much snow fell may always be in question. After a three month review, the sticking to its 17 inches. A measuring mishap was questioned leading the agency to look into whether the total was too low. They found the method was not eye deal, but the total stands based on nearby unofficial measurements. The report recommended future changes at official measuring sites. And the controversy around this, there were questions about whether the actual monitoring device, measuring device, was in the right spot, whether it was blocked by some of the snow, if it was calibrated correctly. I saw it with my own eyes. I trudged through it. It looked like more than 17 inches. Do you know who would know . Chuck bell would know. What do you say . The trick is in how you measure. The reason they need to sweep the snow off the snow measuring board each time is because the weight of the snow actually compact it s it down. Taking it out and dusting it snow total. It ends up looking like a little bit more. So its a little bit more accurate to measure it that way. If you swept it off every hour, wed have even a higher total than that. So its the compaction issue. No matter how you shape it, it was a lot of snow and it was the number one snow producer at bwi and number two alltime at dulles. Number four at national. So it was a top finisher no matter how you slice it. Outside this morning, what i wouldnt give for a good snowstorm right about now. Id much prefer snow to fog and drizzle for sure. Visibility reduced in pockets down to below a couple miles. So keep that in mind if youre traveling early this morning. Here is the model depiction of when the fog will be lifting. No reprieve between now and 7 00 a. M. But by about 11 00, 12 00, most of the fog will be gone. Even after the fog is gone, clouds will remain and so will chances for light rain. Some light rain out tre district. On the broader view, no big area of brain, were just stuck in complete cloud cover around here. All clouds today and tomorrow and sunday, as well. Todays temperatures will be mostly stuck in the 50s with the passing light rain showers around. Tomorrow will be just a smidgeon warmer with temperatures up into the low 60s. So here is your forecast then for today. Mid40s out the door. Light rain and drizzle in the 50s all day long today. And then for tomorrow, most of the Daylight Hours will be rainfree. Not all that pretty, but rainfree. After sundown tomorrow, rain chances come in quickly. Could get an inch of rain sunday monday time frame with a run be r rumble or two of thunder. A whole lot more clouds than sunshine in the immediate future. And lets hope the future commute is a clear one. So far were actually looking quite good morning commute right lane getting by the tractor trailer crash.
