>> wintry weather in our southern plain this morning. picking up some significant snowfall here. it's been falling during the overnight, continuing as it tracks its way east, even snow potential in and around dallas especially the northwest side of the city and that could slow down the commute. that could slow down the commute. but many of these spots saying 3 to 6 inches of snow. the storm is the one to watch in the next few days. heavy rain around houston moving toward the gulf coast. friday across the southern states including birmingham atlanta, and charleston and then the storm is going to start to climb up the east coast. rain totals could see a couple inches in a few spots especially in around houston, austin, hill country, and san antonio, and then a strip of rain from jackson along the i-20 corridor. then as it starts to work its way up the east coast, a rapid deepening of the storm system. this could bring quite a few things into play late friday night into saturday. a lot of things to watch. i think this one close to the coast is likely. that brings snow potential to places like d.c. philly, new

york, and boston cities that have not been seen yet. i'm eric fisher, cbs news. snow fell in new jersey late yesterday. a weather winter advisory for coastal new jersey is in effect for this morning. no heavy accumulations are expected though. and this morning fire officials in new jersey are trying to figure out what caused a massive fire in an apartment complex. the four-story building is located in edgewater across from new york city. huge flames and smoke shot into the sky. this morning the fire is contained, but about 400 residents were forced to evacuate. only minor injuries are reported. but the size of the fire is shocking even to veteran firefighters. >> this is probably the biggest one i've ever seen. >> there are more than 400 apartments in the complex. a local state of emergency has been declared edd and schools in edge edgewate will be closed today.

news the fbi completed its investigation into the shooting death of michael brown by police officer darren wilson. wilson shot and killed the unarmed teen during an altercation last august. a missouri grand jury refused to indict him. after completing interviews with more than 200 people and review reviewing surveillance tapes and cellphone videos, the fbi finds wilson did not violate brown's civil rights. there were accusations that the officer had used violent unnecessary use of force. >> certainly we can understand the father who fears his son can't walk home without duress. >> prosecutors are trying to determine if the largely white ferguson force has demonstrated a history of racial profiling and discrimination. in his state of the state address, missouri governor jay nixon spoke of the need for

reform. >> we must recruit, train, and certify professional law enforcement that reflects the diversity of the community it serves. >> authorities again released video of more than 100 people wanted for looting at a local market during the height of the violence. now, nothing so far from michael brown's family about this, and benjamin crump, the family's attorney, says he's not commenting until the justice department makes its official announcement. anne-marie? >> susan mcginnis in washington. thank you, susan. two police officers are being investigating during the death of a man during a traffic stop. like the ferguson shooting the incident is raising questions and anger in the community. michelle miller reports. >> reporter: it was 9:20 p.m. on december 30th when two officers from the bridgeton police department pulled over a car with two men inside. >> the reason i'm pulling you over is you went through that stop sign right there.

bill belichick meets with the media today for the first time since new allegations of cheating emerged. the nfl is investigating whether his team deliberately took air out of the footballs in sunday's afc championship game victory. the controversy has put a cloud over the patriots' latest on-field achievement, making it to the sixth super bowl in 14 years. the nfl says the investigation into whether the patriots legally doctored footballs will take morea few more days. the allegations picked up steam late tuesday night when espn reported 11 of the 12 balls used by the patriots were lighter than league rules allow. the nfl mandates game balls have between 12 1/2 and 13 1/2 pounds per square inch. the patriots' footballs were reportedly two pounds low, making them easier to grasp. >> you want to make the pass as

easy as possible and that all comes down to grip. when the ball is decreasing there's less wobble and the easier it is for receivers to catch. >> it's something tom brady admitted he liked during a 2011 interview. >> when gronk does it, he spikes the ball and deflates the ball and i like that because i like the deflated ball. >> it wouldn't be the first time the patriots and bill belichick ran afoul of nfl's rules. in 2007 belichick was fined a half million dollars and the team was docked draft picks. >> if it happened to really any other team in the playoffs, you would give them the benefit of the doubt. you might think this wasn't that suspicious, maybe it was done by accident. but now 11 of 12 balls considering the team and characters involved, it's certainly raising a lot of flags. >> on wednesday super bowl opponents the ss the seattle seahawks

were asked about the controversy. >> it didn't have much effect on the game. if it did, whatever. if it's against the rules, it's against the rules. but it's not going have any effect on this game. nobody's going to get suspended. nothing's going to happen. they're going to play this game. whatever they did, the risk reward was greater. >> if there's any whereon doing the penalty starts with a $25,000 fine. that's the minimum. it could also include docking draft pics and suspensions. but one online book maker has it as a long shot that belichick will be suspended for the super bowl. when we return, dog debut. we will show you the new breeds that will be featured in this year's westminster kennel club dog show. year's westminster kennel club dog show. ♪ "here i am. rock you like a hurricane." ♪ fiber one now makes cookies. find them in the cookie aisle. sir, we're loaded and getting ready to go... ...we're going to need

in havana, u.s. and cuban officials will meet for talks on restoring diplomatic relations. the negotiations involve the highest level u.s. delegation in decades. today's meetings are expected to expand on wednesday's talks which focused on cuban migration. meanwhile homeland security says additional coast guard cutters have been deployed to the florida straits to halt cuban migrants from reaching united states by boat. in cuba more than ever they're wanting to come to america. manuel bojorquez reports from havana. >> reporter: inside their tiny living room, nancy and alexi showed us their big secret.

the boat they are building to flee cuba. how long have you been working on this? two months. nancy told us work is slow. parts are bought on the black market and some of the wood comes from a coffin maker. when it's complete, nancy, her husband, and her four children will attempt to cross more than 90 miles to the u.s. and a new future. nancy says her family has been marked ever since she joined a dissident group in 2008. what do we do, she says? how do i support my children? my daughter can't work, my son can't work either because this country doesn't have jobs for them. like many others, they are also driven by fear that the favored status for cuban refugees that lets anyone stay who reaches u.s. shores may disappear as the two nations re-establish relations. more than 370,000 cubans have left for the u.s. over the past decade. last month the u.s. coast guard captured or turned away 481

cubans, nearly twice as many as the year before. both nations have worked to ensure legal migration with the u.s. issuing at least 20,000 visas to cubans per year. but nancy says her family has been turned down. this will be their third attempt to escape by boat. you'll keep trying. and that's why at wednesday's migration talks the cuban government once again blamed u.s. policy for encouraging people to leave the island illegally, but a u.s. official in havana said washington remains committed to its current approach. manuel bojorquez, cbs news, havana, cuba. well, coming up after your local news on "cbs this morning," more on the federal investigation into the michael brown shooting. we'll get an update from bob orr. plus cnet tells us how to turn bad computer security password into a good one.
