looking at the white house, it is currently 34, so still slightly above freezing. we settled down the winds, which were an issue from time to time today. and now we're going to see temperatures falling off heading into the overnight hours. but as cloud cover arrives, that's going to help prevent our temperatures from dipping too far. so it's not going to be as bitterly cold tonight. tomorrow will be mostly dry through the daylight hours. if you want to watch the super bowl, you don't have to worry about do i need to get out there and shovel. this does not look to be a snowfall event for practically anyone in our area. we will see a few flurries and snow showers late in the day as that system gets closer. this is close to sunset. then after dark, a wintry mix for just about everyone in the metro area. so right now, it is still below freezing in frederick, where it's 28 degrees. same temperature in hagerstown and martinsburg. 30 in colpepper. you can see the storm approaching on satellite and radar. lots of rain with this system, but we will see snow on the back side

>> yeah, again, the white house in a very brief statement issued a few minutes ago said we have seen the video purporting to show that the japanese citizen, kenji goto has been murdered by the terrorist group isil. we are working to confirm its authenticity. the united states strongly condemn's isil's actions and we call for the immediate release of all remaining hostages. we stand in solidarity with our ally japan. there was no specification there which hostages obviously, they were referring to the jordanian pilot, but it's apparent that the u.s. doesn't have an answer an immediate answer to these kinds of hostage situations. of course we know that three, at least three american civilians, have underwent the same grizzly fate at the hands of isis in these videos. in this case the demands were contradictory in the sense that first, the money as a recompense to what japan had pledged to contribute to the allied effort against isis. them, of course the demand for the release of the iraqi prisoner of the would-be suicide bomber in jordan. so right now as we said the -- as i said earlie

obviously this is news to the white house as well. what i would say is because this video is somewhat different than some the videos we've seen in the past you can be sure that intelligence officials and other defense department officials as well will be really looking for what kind of clues they can glean from this. we've been talking for the past couple of months about how the defense department is saying they're having a lot of success with the air strikes and fight against isis happening in iraq and syria. obviously it hasn't stopped these executions but maybe with this new video they can get a little bit more from those details. i'd also point out in the last week president obama has spoken with the prime minister of japan, and obviously they'll be working closely with the japanese building a bigger coalition here to see what more they can do to stop these executions and stop isis from some of these actions. >> absolutely. aaron mcpike, stand by for us in washington. i want to get back to jurmana krachi. this is the wife of hosta
