victims. they'll start by bringing products like water and toiletries to those in need - and also help with cleanup - clearing downed trees and other debris. johnson: "right now, we'll be sending out three tractor trailers to tapohannock. most of those loaded with equipment. we're sending a truck, one truck to appomattox. once things get settled, as much as they need johnson says volunteers will least several days at each also meet with local leaders to they can help - over the long johnson: "it's great to be able to those who feel like there know, when everything's their lives are shattered all kristen tag: "about 30-40 volunteers are leave tomorrow morning to start cleanup and deliver danville - kristen

the ongoing el nino may go down in the record

to rain, snow, and the whole kitchen sink in virginia over the past few months.el nino is forecast to gradually weaken as we head into spring, but does that mean the weather will calm down, or is the commonwealth in line for more active weather? i take a closer look at what's ahead in this special report. 57-1:04 godzilla el nino. no, it's not exactly a giant monster parading through downtown roanoke, but it has sparked some wild weather in southwest virginia from historic flooding to record heat to crippling winter storms. predicting what's next is no easy task, but i'm going to give it a shot. since climatologists began measuring the temperatures of the pacific ocean in 1950, only two el ninos have lived up to the strength of "godzilla": the 82-83 el nino and the 97-98 el nino. all three of these monster el ninos have led to one thing in virginia a lot of moisture. el nino often splits the jet stream into two branches the sub-tropical jet to the south and the polar jet to the north. when the moisture of the sub-tropical jet meshes with the cold air from the polar jet, strong storms wallop southwest virginia with either snow or rain depending on the season. "quote" during the height of this current el nino, virginia has averaged just shy of 40 inches of water which is nearly 8 inches above average. the strong el ninos of the 80s and 90s also had a large surplus of moisture. so does that mean more snow and

out winter and head into spring? no! here's why. el nino is forecast to weaken through march, april, and may. while conditions are forecast to stay fairly wet in march, history shows us that conditions directly after the previous strong el ninos have been exceptionally dry in virginia. i predict it will be an abnormally dry start to the growing season in southwest virginia, especially in april and may. so what type of temperatures can we expect? well, the determining factor may not have anything to do with el nino. we can get a better idea of what temperatures we will see by taking a look at a pair of smaller scale circulations: the north atlantic oscillation and the arctic oscillation, more commonly known as the polar vortex. when both of these measurements are positive, the jet stream bottles up cold air to our north. a couple of months ago, we predicted the positive nao would lead to an unusually mild start to winter. well as it turns out, virginia experienced the warmest december since records began in 1895. a short time later, the weather pattern completely flipped. "just two weeks after the nao turned negative, over a foot of snow fell on southwest virginia." when these oscillations once again turned negative in the middle of february, temperatures in southwest virginia plummeted to the single digits. over the next two weeks, the arctic oscillation is projected to stay negative, but the north atlantic oscillation is forecast to be positive. "it's sort of a middle of the road, tough to call forecast." ultimately, these circulations aren't as reliable in the long term as the el nino pattern. "you can carry it as a forecast tool out 3-6 months to the longer extent than you could with the smaller scale circulations." history tells us we will most likely experience a slightly warmer than average spring. with severe weather on our minds, i'm sure many our wondering if we'll see more of what we saw yesterday. there may be some more active weather in march, but that potential for a dry april and may does point to less of a

election headquarters. tonight - we're wrapping up our look - at the candidates running for president. in some polls - bernie sanders has been running in a dead heat - against his only democratic contender.w-f-x-r's bill wadell takes a closer look - at where the u-s senator-- from vermont - stands on the issues important to virginians. presidential candidate "this is a race where you got to get 2400 delegates. 2400 delegates. so we are in this race to win it and i think we are going to pull of one of the great political upsets." bernie sanders - is the longest serving independent politician in congress. the 74-year-old from new york - graduated from brooklyn college - and the university of chicago. sanders has worked as carpenter and documentary film maker - before being elected a the mayor of burlington, vermont - winning by ten votes. the father of 4, grandfather to 7, is known for his battle against income and wealth inequality. bernie wants to increase the minimum wage... have large businesses pay their fair share in taxes... and create a paycheck fairness act... to help bridge the gap for women - earning less than men. sanders has faced criticism - for his proposals like tuition free college and expanding social security - but his camp says there's a clear cut plan to pay for it all - by taxing the most wealthy and closing loopholes and tax breaks.
