And later, proud mary tar Taraji P Henson joins us live with sneak peek at her all new thriller. Good day at 9a starts now. Keep on turning and rolling into other work week. Its minute monday. Nine sol zero one and it is good day d. C. January 8th. Thanks so much for being with us this morning. First at 9 00, this morning, we have to talk about the weather because a thaw is on the way. We just have to make it through tonight thats because around of freezing rain is on the way and at least one major School District shut down already. For details tucker back with first check of the forecast and tucker, we are all ears for you. Yeah, lets get to it. Well start with temperatures which once again were back in the teens and low 20s overnight and gradual warm up temperature ground temperatures will be lagging much its been so cold for so long last couple of weeks some of our, you know, coldest two week periods in history and that ground is just not going to warm up a whole lot quickly, and it looks like well get sleet and light rain on top of it that could cause icing issues this afternoon. 24 now in washington. Winds out of the south here at 9 00. Were trying to pump the warmer temperatures in and i think as far as air temperatures we may get those into the low to mid 30s this afternoon. The issue is going to be ground temperatures. We just looking at some of the regional roadways and for the most part, theyre in the teens and low 20s, and they wont get a chance to warm up as quickly. So, although were not expecting a lot in the way of wintry precipitation and potential for light rain, even little bit we all know what happens with even a little bit of light rain when it gets a chance to freeze on the surface thing ice up pretty quick thats a concern. Again the timing i would say generally afternoon if youre out to the west and then in the immediate Washington Area by one, 2 00 oclock today. Well start to see this light rain and sleet 96 move in it will be with us through the that Weather Service issued for most of our region a wint weather advisory for ice and sleet. The exception is lower Eastern Shore and Southern Maryland. And again, after school today things could be slippery and certainly as youre trying to get home from work, 45, six, clock tonight there could be slippery conditions for parts of the area. Stay tune ill be twe tweeting tuckster fox5 well give you the latest here. Were hoping to get that air temperature to 34. Quick reminder if youre driving in your car and your thermometer in your car says 34 degrees, that doesnt mean that the road surface is above 32 and there still could be icy spots. Be on the look out be very very wary later this afternoon on the look out for ice. Things could get bad in a hurry around here. Guys, back to you. Good remainder, thanks tub. Part of dealing with these he can treatmently cold temperatures those pesky water main breaks. Crews can barely get on top of one before another pops up.

Wssc is working about 80 active breaks. 28 currently being repaired but at least 50 right now are holding. 16 more need to be inspected. Now here on bach avenue in Fort Washington in the neighborhoods flowing downhill this is where that massive stream of water lets show it to you from yesterday when our crews were here on the scene caused a lot of damage. We had in fact a lot of water that went into basements. Flowed downhill and iced over. D. C. Water says its had 140 plus breaks since the beginning of december. The major the of those in the last two weeks. We know this happens. It just seems like because weve had such a severe cold snap and its lasted for so long that is why all these water Authorities Say theyre just really having trouble staying on top of all of them like i mentioned at the top. 50 of them holding here in wssc fairfax water also says it currently has about 23 active water main breaks all of those just live in Fort Washington, melanie alnwick, fox5 local news.

Youve got a lot of plows here. Salt trucks. This is what theyre loading up with this morning. This is just some of the salt here thats going to be put out on the roadways this morning after the rush hour. These are trucks that have already loaded up theyre getting directions these are contractors getting directions from v to the where to go. What theyre basically going to do is hit the bridges and overpasses because the rest of of the road surface have already been treated want to show you video tape from before dawn this morning. As these trucks were being loaded with the salt. Again, vdot saying most of the major roadways in Northern Virginia were pre treated on friday and it lasted over the weekend so the roads are ready. Fairfax county schools are concerned as are allow dont county schools with what may come this afternoon on these roads if this wintry mix falls and as its predicteed to sticks to the road surface creates very slick and treacherous conditions at the end o everything is fine now. But going home could be a problem. As you mentioned, yeah, its generating a mix of reactions on social media and in person as well. In the long run, its kind of a bad thing for the kids because then summertime comes and then they dont have extra time to be with friends and then its kind of like school all jammed in so many months together. Do they chill actually get free time. I came from new york and then Something Like this people go to school they go to work. So yeah im a little bit surprised. Yeah, i dont see what the problem is. Yeah, its a bit on the colder side, but i mean its winter. So i dont see any issues actually. Go to school . Oh yeah definitely. Absolutely. Unless the Teachers Want a vacation. Reporter and thats not the case. Of course are teachers dont make the decisions. Its the school administrators, again, its because of what may come this afternoon so youve got a lot of trucks. Heres another one thats loaded up heading out again v dot will send these mainly overpasses as theyre concerned about those surfaces freezing because again the major roadways have already been treated with the mixture of salt, sand and liquid that will try to keep them from freezing but it look like theres a very good chance thats going to happ happen this afternoon guys. Stand by for rough afternoon commute. All right. Bob, thanks. We are aware. Its good day start the we got another closing in. This is just one school in the district Ross Elementary School closed today because of flooding issues. So dc schools are open but Ross Elementary School is closed today all the other dc schools are on time as normal. Nine past the hour right now. Lets get to the morning briefing. First up this morning, President Trump back at the white house at least for few hours after spending the weekend at camp david with Republican Congress shaat leaders. They talk about the 2018 legislative agenda that included talks about the budge, um any grace and infrastructure to name few issue. The Republican Leaders and the president also discussed strategy about the 2018 m election. Later today, the president will head down south hell end up if atlanta hell attend the College FootballNational Championship game. Expected to get there about 6 45. Hell there be for the National Anthem game starts about 8 15. Well see how long he stays. All right. 9 10 is the time right now. Meanwhile the president as yen today being overshadowed by critical book that says the Trump Administration is fiss functional and the president is not fit for the job. Now some of the president s supporters denounce the the book over the weekend calling it a work of fiction. Reactions continue to pour in after the release of my michael wolf bombshell book fire and fury. It sold out in many locations. It paints the Trump Administration as dysfunctional and the president unfit for office but those close to the president are coming to his defense just days of the at books release. This is a book of fiction. Not only is it not accurate, theres so many misrepresentations in this book that it shouldnt be seriously. This book at a complete fabrication. Those statements are just absurd, chris. Just pure fantasy. Im with him almost every day. We talk about some of the most serious matters facing america and the world. Complex issues. The president is engaged. He understands the complexity. He asks really difficult questions. The president again responded to the books allegations as well tweeting in part, ive had to put up with the fake news from the first day i announced that i would be running for president. Now i have to put up with the fake book written by a totally discredited author. Ronald lay reagan had the same problem and handled it so well. So will i. Despite the push back from the white house the books author says hes standing by everything he wrote. If i left out anything its probably stuff that was even more damming. Its that the bad. Its that bad. I mean, its an extraordinary moment in time. Some of the more controversial statements in the book came from former white house chief stat gist steve bannon over the weekend bannon did not dispute quotes that are attribute to do him and didnt apologize out right either but he did tell fox news that he regrets his comments distracted from the president as accomplish manies. Much more to come from the fallout of this book in the days ahead. All right. 9 11, 9 12 is the time. Two tap apple investors want the tech giant to take extra steps steps to protect kids frommism phone addiction. The blackout to oprahs show stealing speech to the joke that got host seth meyer booed.

Thanks for coming congratulations my first customer the egg white grill. So you can bring on the day. All right. Welcome back at 9 15. Adding to the School ClosuresPrince William county closing three hours early because of this rain were expecting later on this afternoon expected to freeze on the ice cold pavement and roadways causing problems so Prince William county added to the list of schools closing early today or closed altogether in our region. Fairfax county delve closed. Prince William County started off on good note not a long cool day. Theyll leave three hours early. Get it over to wisdom and holly and kev. Good morning, guys. Good morning to you. The Golden Globes are the kick off to the hollywood award season and if last night is any indication, the movie instead of fawning over fashion they were sending a message with what they more and me too and times up movements dominated the night. Kevin is back with history making moments and the nights big winners are overshadowed because no one is talking about. I agree 100 . Last note was incredible night for the message sent to hollywood and industries all throughout the world. The times up movement is about hollywood but also raising money for legal funds for people to fight sexual predators and Sexual Assault and as of last night it was over 16 million was raised for this incredible movement. As you mentioned the actors were all wearing black. It was a very very amazing statement to be made seeing the carpet and everyone wearing black. And also just the speeches were incredible. Every single moment that an actor had to be able to speak francis mc dormant especially, the quips put in there. Natalie portman for example when they were giving the best director award she said, and the all male nominees which is a big deal because barbara industry sand even mentioned at the end of the evening that i believe she was right about the idea that the eye woman film maker has not won best director since 1984 or not nominated spins 84. I dont remember the exact stat but very jut an interesting night a lot of messages were given and i think it was all just a positive evening. You know, i think the things that were over like the women all wearing black and the statements being made and jokes they made that was one thing that definitely cepit out there but for me what really showed the movement the cut ottawas of peoples reactions to those statements. Yeah. Peoples reactions then you can really get a sense that everybody in that room was feeling something. Yeah. Specifically when oprah gave her speech which was very very emotional. And just seeing dwayne the rock johnson get teared up during that was Pretty Amazing and just the cut aways as you minged those were almost as important as in a statement as speeches given. Very very very interesting evening. You talked about oprah. She controlled that microphone. Oh yeah. Like no one else does. Oh yeah. She commanded that audience and the things she was saying while she was up there, amazing. 100 . Unbelievable. Lets take a look at a brief moment from her speech last night which was absolutely incredible. The full version is online. Watch this quick moment. And when no new day finally dawns. [ cheers and applause ] it will be because of a lot of magnificent women, many of whom are right here in this room tonight, and some pretty phenomenal men. I want to stand up right now. I know. She commands. I had tears in my eyes too. Steadman who was with her last night obviously gave a quote recently saying that she would absolutely run for president. People were talking about the idea of what that speech was and how she got the crowd going. But everything she said was incredible. Even her in the beginning of her speech about seeing Sidney Portier on stage accepting an award what that meant for her as young g girl. Without question the woman has graph toes. Absolutely. Speak of having gratto and captivating how did seth myers do. Its interesting because i thought that he did great at the beginning of the show and then as usually with these hosts they go away. And then theyre just a little moments throughout the night at the beginning of the show i thought his jokes were on fire. I thought the way he did it, he had to strike a tone again people who werent aware his wife is an attorney who deals with sexual abuse and assault. This has been a part of discussion in his household for many, many years. But he was wondering how to strike a tone last night how do you make light of it not really make light of it how do you bring it up and not he made an tempt. He did. And this attempt got booed. I dont know if it was necessarily boos but check out the joke he made about wein weinstein. Harvey weinstein isnt here tonight. That hes crazy and difficult to work with. [ laughter ] but dont worry hell be back in 20 years when he becomes the first person ever booed during the memoriam. And then the crowd did. I dont know if they were really booed or if he went ooh. I dont think it was booing. He did make a follow up that said and it will sound just like that. I thought the jokes that he made i remember one of them being a little the only one i thought could have the line was the hotel one. Yeah. That one was a little too soon. You dont go there. Everything else i thought he said was tasteful. It work. I thought it was funny. All right. Unfortunately were out of time. We dont get to talk about the winners and losers. Nobody else is either. Right. We covered all the important stuff. We got the big stuff. Thank you kevin. Thanks guys. Appreciate it. You didnt cover the fashion. Were back with that later. Okay. We got to talk about the fashion. 9 20 is the time. Coming up later the nfl play off picture little clearer. Highlights from the weekend action. First working on this morning.
