people will have to start listening a little bit more when they see how many people came and how far we came. >> reporter: but in the end, the size of the crowd made it impossible to move as one along the pre-planned route, so after four hours of speeches and performances, some demonstrators headed home. most, though, set off in different directions, creating a series of marches. >> well, this was the march. there's just so many people -- >> we can't march because there are so many people here, you know? >> i'm not disappointed. >> and that was nbc's julie carey reporting. tonight at 11:00, hear from local women from our region that traveled to d.c. to march today. well, a deadly tornado swept through mississippi this morning, severely damaging a college campus. this is how william carey university looked just hours after that tornado hit. four people were killed in the storm, but fortunately, only a few others were hurt. and erika, this is part of a system that's coming our way? >> that's right, denise. we do have our system headed in our direction. it so looks like we'll get it in two rounds. otherwise, right now, a live look outside.

i-95. we are seeing dense fog. that's the immediate concern, because we're seeing visibility less than two miles. however, we are tracking, of course, those rain showers, that heavy rain headed our way. satellite and radar image right now locally, you can see those clouds developing across the entire viewing area. a wider perspective. denise, this is just what you were talking about. this is headed across the northeast. notice those heavier pockets of downpours. get ready for that. otherwise, we are still expecting another low to develop out in texas. that will follow us soon and bring us heavier downpours sunday into monday, with some really strong wind speeds and wind gusts. so we do have a first alert, it has been issued for the entire viewing area. no one's exempt. and this will be p.m. sunday through a.m. tuesday, when everything starts to clear. what can we expect? rain, heavy at times, certainly damaging winds, coastal flooding, and possibly some beach erosion. so let's go through this, hour by hour, starting at 6:30 p.m.

you can see that rain headed in. i'd said after midnight, this is the first round. we're going to see everything moving in. again, after midnight, possibly, 11:00 p.m. tonight, through early tomorrow morning. notice how this favors the southern portion of our area. new castle county, kent county, as well, cape may, and atlantic counties. this starts to push offshore. it looks like we do have a little bit of a lull, but wait for it. we have more rain, heavy downpours, already on the approach by about 5:00 p.m. tomorrow afternoon. into the evening hours, by 7:00 p.m., it looks like we have heavy pockets of downpours. and that's when the winds start to kick up. by early monday morning, it looks like we could see some change over here, for parts of the lehigh valley. perhaps a wintry mix. we're not done there, for the early monday morning commute, still seeing the threat of a wintry mix for parts of lehigh valley. and we see some heavy pockets of rain, even by noontime, lehigh valley, you may see, again, a little bit of a wintry mix,

including some sleet, and perhaps some passing light snow. otherwise, this system does not completely clear until later on tuesday morning, because notice early tuesday, at about 3:00 a.m., we start to see some more rain moving through and possibly that wintry mix again. so hour-by-hour forecast, in addition to this system being so complex, i could talk about this for about an hour, we do have those winds that are a big issue. these are wind gusts. notice by tomorrow afternoon, we're already seeing wind gusts increasing through about 20 to 30 miles an hour. certainly going to be a major issue come early monday morning. a heads up now, we could see wind gusts, especially along the shore, gusting up to about 50 to 60 miles an hour. >> like a one-two punch and i know you'll be watching it. >> for sure. thanks, erika. here's danny pommel with sports. >> the flyers hope to make a gush through the standings to begin their playoff push after a five-day layoff. and villanova turns to one of
