3:09 am
the three hostages are safe and the t is in custody. they have not confirmed any of their names or ages. but sources tell us the three hostages included two teens and possibly a toddler. this all started friday afternoon after police got a phone call asking to request on a check on the welfare of those in that apartment. when police arrived, that's when they spotted a woman dead and possibly another may have been dead for several days. when they learned of this, a man who was at the home brandished a weapon and that's when police pulled back and that's when the hostage situation started. police tell us they will give us more details starting at 10:00 a.m. this morning. they haven't spoken to the media much in the past 36 hours, but hoping to get as many details about the situation as possible. that's the very latest in trenton. >> thank you. we certainly will be checking in with you as you do get more

3:11 am
inspector general broke the rules or any government officials act aed imprurp impro that the president wants to see swift and appropriate steps to deal with that misconduct. this is something getting a lot of attention because if the irs is playing politics, that's not a good thing. >> it appears some folks were looking at certain names. if they had patriot or tea party in their name, they would get extra scrutiny. what does that mean? >> exactly. extra scrutiny means some of these groups were asked to provide all sorts of additional information that other groups weren't. one group atalked about 88 questions. so, a long questionnaire. i spoke with someone from a co-founder of the tea party patriots, that's one of the largest tea party organizations in the country and she described what her group was asked to do. let's listen to her speak. >> we have a million fans now on facebook going through and finding comments in every single

3:39 am
damaged. local authorities there have declared a state of emergency. high winds, warmer temperatures there, that's what's being blamed for the disaster. this is actually the same community that was devastated by major flooding two years ago. and it does look like a sunny mother's day for most of the u.s. that's the good news, right? meteorologist karen maginnis, looking good for mom? >> for the most part, it does. we have little hiccups as an area of low pressure treks across the northeast and new england and as it does, in its wake we'll see showers for new york and boston and that will move out fairly quickly. behind this area of low pressure, this cold air will be located and temperatures chilly than they should be for this time of year. well, most of the midwest and the great lakes will see readings about five to ten degrees cooler than where they should be and snowfall has occurred across the great lakes and that video that we saw out of winnipeg, they saw 50-mile-per-hour winds and the wind pushed the ice on those
3:40 am
homes. essentially gobbled up by the ice and they were saying the ice was about 30 feet high in some areas. all right, over the last several days, exceptional hot temperatures across the pacific northwest, but seattle, no, not today. your temperatures have been in the 80s the last several days. today, a high of only 66 degrees. but we will see the threat of freezing temperatures all the way from the dakotas into wisconsin, michigan, down into the tennessee river valley into the allegheny region and the hudson valley and temperatures are only going to be in the 20s and 30s. frost and freeze warnings out for a lot of these areas. they'll spring back fairly quickly. look at these overnight lows and morning temperatures. chicago only about 41 degrees. indianapolis around 39 and dayton we'll see around 37 degrees. if you planted a beautiful garden, you've got some of the tender plants. you need to make sure they're covered because you'll be a
3:41 am
little disappointed when you wake up and they're not sprouting back the way you would like them. in burbank, california, 96 degrees and just to the north, a record setting high temperature there of 101 degrees. and you may remember the big fire that they were watching that burned thousands of acres there in camarillo, california. the temperature is 79, that doesn't sound that exciting. but a record high temperature for them. walla walla, washington, these temperatures running 10 to 20 degrees above where they should be for this time of year. but, no, at least it looks like it is coming to an end probably today, if not, in fact, on monday. but areas across the central plains like minneapolis. look at this. sunday's high temperature goes from about 60 degrees, daytime high and then by tuesday, we're looking at 90 for the afternoon temperature. dodge city, kansas, 95 degrees by tuesday.
3:42 am
so, we go from exceptionally cool for this time of year to exceptionally hot where we'll see some record-setting temperatures, no doubt. that's a look at your weather across the nation. >> it's like a last gasp of winter before the warm stuff comes on for good. i hope, anyways. karen maginnis, thanks for that. if you have been following prince harry's visit maybe you wonder where his u.s. tour will take him next, how about new jersey. that's right, the prince is meeting up with governor chris christie. what is on their joint agenda? oh, hi thehey!ill. are you in town for another meeting? yup, i brought my a-team. business trips add up to family time.
