Things appear clearing up this morning thankfully. All that after a dusting of snow we got yesterday but you can still feel that winter chill in the air. Gary, are we going to get more or will it go away . In terms of the snow, i think thats all gone and you know what, too, i think really the big headline this morning is were still going o be cool today but look, coming our way i think were going to be trending warmer around here the next several days and it does look like before this warmer trend goes away, we may actually touch 60 degrees again before well, over the next couple days or so. Let me show you whats happening. Basically a warmer trend begins today. Temperatures will be in the upper 40s and the low 50s. Temperatures right now are kind of cold but you know what, some of these numbers have been going up a little bit during the overnight. Actually last hour it was a lot warmer than it is in places now. Right now with this clearing skies, the sun is coming up, thats very, very cold. Manassas 20 degrees. Kind of a dusting or a coating on the ground. Not necessarily for culpeper so much but up towards you know, loudoun county, gaithersburg 26, frederick at 32. Of course here in town were 29 degrees. Fredericksburg youre cold this morning at 25 degrees. All right. We have clearing skies now. Even though i think were talking about sun and clouds today but well wake up with these clear skies, lots of sunshine. Look where there is more snow. Western sections of pennsylvania. Pittsburgh right now getting some snow. As that moves in our direction it will dissipate but well get a few clouds from that from time to time. Later on today, got to call it kind of a mixture of sun and clouds after this morning sunshine. Temperatures will warm up, certainly warmer than yesterday, right, with the snow flying yesterday, temperatures were only in the upper 20s and low 30s. Were going 47 today and again, as we head into the next few days, were talking a warmup that will take us up to around 60 degrees or so by the middle part of next week. Doesnt that sound nice, tisha . Lets see. That would be almost 20 degrees 30 degrees warmer than what we were yesterday. Ill show you the seven day coming up with that 60 degree on it. Well take it. Ill take it. [laughter] well, we begin with a disturbing threat from isis supporters. A new propaganda poster may indicate an attack on the u. S. With d. C. Caught in the cross hairs. Take a look at the poster. It shows the Washington National cathedral on fire with an armed militant standing in front of the building. It was posted in a proisis channel of a social media app this week. D. C. s director of Homeland Security and Emergency Management says the threat is not credible but Law Enforcement is aware of it. This threat on a daily basis 24 7 and people are watching for threats. We take them very seriously. And we are already at a heightened state of security because it is the Holiday Season. Homeland security oic say the real purpose of propaganda like this is to scare people of course. If you take a closer look at the poster it says wait for us. We meet at christmas in new york. Now, whoever made this did not get the city correct. Officials say the best advice for people is to be alert, Pay Attention to suspicious objects and behavior and if you see something, make sure you say something. To capitol hill now.

Two of the victims are in critical condition. Its not clear just yet what led to this shooting. Police are still looking for the gunman. All right. Now lets talk about tax reform. The president has promised a tax overhaul by christmas and now the house and senate are getting ready to vote on a final bill. Foxs Lauren Blanchard has details on the bill that is now available to the public. Reporter the republicans final tax bill is set in stone. It cannot be altered any more and is finally been posted online for lawmakers and the public to see. The Conference Committee has come together and we have delivered for the american people. Reporter its been a challenge for republicans to come up with a tax reform plan they think can pass both the house and the senate but all signs seem to suggest leadership is confident enough to move forward with a vote. The bill keeps seven tax brackets but reduces rates for five. It reduces the Corporate Tax rate to 21 percent and doubles the Child Tax Credit for many families from 1,000 to 2,000. It also calls for the repeal of the obamacare individual mandate. Republicans say it will make the u. S. More competitive, democrats say it hurts the middle class. Im very excited about this moment. It has been 31 years in the making. The tax reform bill is a disaster. It helps the wealthiest most powerful corporations and individuals and it hurts the middle class. Reporter there were two high profile republican holdouts, senator bob corker and marco rubio. Both now say they will support the bill. Also complicating the math two mccain are out dealing with medical issues. All of our thoughts and prayers go out to senator mccain. You know, hes having a tough time.

The president has been vocal about wanting something on his desk by christmas. In washington, Lauren Blanchard, fox news. A federal judge temporarily blocked the Trump Administrations attempt to dramatically reduce womens access to free Birth Control.

Several states including maryland and virginia are suing the Trump Administration over the new rule. Now to heart warming story out firefighters rescued a dog stuck in a creek in kentland.
