Winter weather advisory set to take effect later this afternoon for the dc region, and with temperatures so cold lately, any snow that falls will stick and that could mean slippery ride home for you details now tucker back with a first check of our forecast and tucker we are all ears about this one. Thanks maureen. Lets get to it. Lots of weather to talk about. This is not going to be major event. Going to be minor event but the concern of course is the cold temperatures weve had over overnight, and our daytime highs expected in the low 30 todays what falls will stick. So anybody thats lived here for any period of time you know that sometimes half inch or inch of snow can cause problems than the bigger events when they come at the wrong time. Late morning early afternoon in time for t hour. 30 now in washington. It feels like 24 with the breezes out of the east. All right. So two pieces of energy kind of phasing together. I dont really want to over sell it this is not going to be major storm just enough energy well come together to create a little area of air pressure. And thats going to throw enough moisture back in our region were looking at a brief period, kind of a burst of snow across the dc area later this morning during the afternoon hours. The potential is there that we can get a coating perhaps half inch to an inch of snow across the immediate Washington Area little later today. So again timing on this i think by early afternoon and then through four, 5 00 oclock this afternoon well have some bands of light snow. Theres our forecast totals, and you can see the higher amounts are off to the north and east. But thats according part of our viewing here Prince Georges County, an run dell county up towards columbia and Ellicott City and Howard County an inch or two. Lesser amounts out to the west. Ill have plenty more details on this Winter Weather advisory goes into effect at 1 00 oclock this afternoon for those counties d. C. And points north and east and well look at that map and talk more about this. I want to show you future cast trying to give us snow as early as noon. Well come back and resist these maps. But snow this afternoon well warm it up this weekend and the snow should melt off pretty quick. Plenty more on the weather coming up in just a minute. Ill toss it back to you guys on the couch. All right, thanks so much, tucker. Lets get to the morning briefing now. First up after all the wheeling and dealing republicans are finally ready to unveil the details of their 1. 5 trillion tax cut plan today. President trump wants a vote next week so he can sign it into law before christmas but in a twist fit for a real had the tv show, gop senator has thrown a last minute wrench into the works and our fox5 Melanie Alnwick live on capitol photophilous all in. Good morning, melanie. Reporter good morning. Final negotiations on that huge tax reform package are expected to be signed off on today, but that doesnt mean everyone is on board. Opportunity to highlight his drive to cut regulations and read tape, President Trump was asked about marco rubio the latest gop senator to tie up his tack reform plan in the senate. I think well there be. Hes really ban great guy and very supportive. I think senator rubio will be there. Senator rubio pushing to make the 2,000 tax credit refundable when all the negotiations were done, republicans settled oh refundable 1,100 credit and right now, thats a deal breaker for the florida senator. Unless they can fix out a way to add to the 1100 figure, um, i wont support the bill. Reporter boob yo can flex his muscle he knows how crucial every senators vote is. Republicans have a two vote cushion but two of their senators mississippi taxed to cochran and arizona john mccain missed votes this week during health reasons. Gop senators new each of one them had had fair amount of leverage given how tiny that minor r it looks like that minority will be even sma starting at least in january if not a bit sooner i think each one is realizing hark it i have even more leverage now. Ill see what i can get out of this. Reporter we unthe final bill has shifted toward his demands. However, there are still at least two gop senators who have not yet committed to voting yes for this bill. Live on capitol hill, Melanie Alnwick, fox 95 local news. Mel, thank you.

Yes, hey guys weve been following this story for few weeks now. Protesters Holding Signs that read black lives matter and honor our cemetery gathered at a Montgomery CountyBoard Meeting last night. Now the battle is over saving the sight of a historically Black Cemetery known as the moses african cemetery here in bethesda maryland. Members every the church are protesting to save the sacred ground for community built by freed slaves. Now, last night, the board approved plans to build this Storage Facility despite the protests, and Church Members argued the Storage Facility will cover the Burial Ground but the owners say any remnants of cemetery are win a smaller plot of land they gave back to the county. Take a listen. Its disappointing i hope by the time we open they change their mine. Were very excited to be a part of the community as they said we are the first ones that donated land to the project to the green lakes so hopefully wounds will be healed and theyll be receptive to it because we want them to be a part of it. Were doing the benches and the display cases to celebrate the history of the black community and all the hiv row of bethesda and the river road community. Protests say their first amend the rights were veil violated when bore made them turn their black lives signs backward. It has a policy that bans signs bigger than a sheet of paper. Meantime, demonstrators tell us they will connell boycotting the storage business even after its built so this is far from being over. They are not giving up controversy wages on.
