survival kit with you. the front is draped across the ohio valley. we'll see snowshowers north of it, rainshowers as well. temperatures here in the 30s in boston. but notice the 60s, the 70s, a big warmup here in the central plains. it's going to get warmer. that front lifts northward. now we're in the 50s in chicago. atlanta in the mid 60s on saturday. okafor what what a gorgeous weekend. the pacific northwest not so nice. major changes here. we continue with the storms coming in on sunday from san francisco all the way to seattle. there could be power outages, landslides, mudslides, lots of rain expected. very dangerous in this part of the country here coming up this weekend. then we'll see a little rain moving through the ohio valley. but that's really about it. final lit cold front does come out monday. we'll see showers, minneapolis, chicago maybe overnight. then by tuesday we finally get some gulf moisture involved. now the storms begin to move northward towards the ohio valley. still looking at the next storm

coming in the pacific northwest. and a reminder monday through friday 5:30 to 7:00 a.m. wake up with al and stephanie. a lot of you may have heard about probiotics but may not realize what they can do for your health. we know what it takes to look good on the outside but with 70% of our immune system located in our gut, the core of our health is truly on the inside. that's why i take new trubiotics. it's a daily probiotic that helps in two ways. one helps support digestive health, the other immune health. stay true to your health. new trubiotics. from the makers of one-a-day.
