thrill, you know. >> unlike the minnesota so thens the people here in -- the california highway parole because even a slow amount of snow hand ice and ear at the lower end we're getting lots of railing an mud slides that people will be watching out for. >> six-plus decades since that california had a h seen snow. i think the hollywood hills will be okay but how will things be for west coast? >> reporter: things will slightly improve. the worst of the snow is this morning and the snow elevations are going up the mountains as the warmer air moved in. i'm more concerned what will happen with the rain. you can see where niala is located and right where los angeles is located has a heavy

plume of snow in the downtown area and another heavy band coming in off the coast here. right now there are no flash flood warnings. i think this will change as our rainfall totals fear up. -- downtown southern laempingts you get the additional rain which creates flood willing concerns. some areas will stay all snow and some people will report four, five, six feet of storm. this storm on saturday still plaguing us a little bit t.kicks into the middle of the country. this storm is not done. a severe weather outbreak is possible from oklahoma city to wichita falls and this storm, guys in, california is in the northeast monday night and tuesday with snow and rain. >> all right. thank you both, he is back on

that the person or people who did what i saw on june the 7th, they hated paul and had anger in their heart and that is the only, only reason that somebody can be mad at paw-paw like that and hate him like that. >> bringing up this idea of a third-party person connected to somehow the boat crash and when he said no, i don't think it was anyone who had something to do with the crash itself and he suggest it had could be someone from social media so the prosecutor said you're trying to think that a vigilante or maybe a 5'2" person or maybe a this or a maybe a that had something to do with this. what evidence do you have? murdaugh said you brought up a lot of factors all of which i do in the agree with and some of them i do. the question is will the jury buy that?

away. i don't think it's working but you know what. what amazed me is i may be in the my north. a lot of people are saying, well, he seems very sympathetic. i'm not one of those people. obviously this is the -- they may surprise us, something that they will spring on us at the end and now is the time to do it because you'll need something more than a guy that's 5 feet tall and a lot of people hated paul. they will need more than that. they need to sit back and at least rely on reasonable doubt because so far the third-party case isn't there. a. >> appreciate it the. president biden is being update on the toxic train derailment response in ohio. the ntsb calling it 100% preventable. the ohio department of natural
