halfway around the world to a place where i don't know a soul is a very intimidating thought indeed. but that being said, i kept thinking as i was watching this, man, that girl has a pretty sweet deal lined up, room and board and had a job waiting for her when she got to brooklyn. not the scenario i imagine when i think of our ancestors imgrating. the acting is pretty stellar and you find yourself relating to the characters. i thought it was a good movie but i couldn't help wondering if this was a nicklaus sparks film. i independent girl torn between two lives and two loves. to me it seems like every nicklaus sparks movie i've ever

down slope to the last nominees. >> eric: it's our last half hour, we're glad you are starting with us. thanks for joinini us. i'm eric weisfeld. >> jonathan: and i'm meteorologist jonathan kennedy. we're live from main and gervais. it's 6:32. >> eric: we're a little late. the forecast will be something you will look forward to. >> jonathan: you may want to grab the umbrella, looks like we are in for a sticky day. nothing to worry about this morning. dry conditions, it is cloudy, that will help us hang onto the warmth, 59 right now, temperatures have been around 60 all morning, winds calm, nice solid set up as you wake up monday morning and head out the door, nothing to worry about weather wise at the moment. current conditions, 54 in newberry, that's our coolest spot. nobody in the 60s as of right now but for all intense and

as well call it 60 because it will be awesome temperature whites. you will notice when you step out you have the feeling where you need the jacket but today won't be one of those days, we will look for a warmer forecast this afternoon. not he suing a lot of sunshine in the forecast but even with the cloud, i think near 70 is certainly well within reach for most of us. winds are calm at the moment. we are seeing a little wind here and there but all in all pretty much calm conditions across the board. we will see wind out of the wt and southwest and that will pull some of the rain our way. we aren't seeing much in the way of rain fall this morning but it is cloudy and rain kind of arou atlanta picking up a little bit but that's as close as it gets. even a few showers moving across towards savannah. for us at home i don't expect to see any type of rain fall anytime soon but in the neck couple of hours, late morning, this afternoon, that's when the rain will come our way as we move throughout your monday and monday afternoon.

through the next couple of days, there's a boundary, a cold front stalled out across the area, it will stall out and that will bring us continued threat for rain through wednesday. temperatures stay nice and warm even with the chance of rain, lack of sunshine, it will be relatively nice temperature wise but as we move later into the week we will have sunshine but slightly cooler air comes back, so it's still end of february, but we will be on the plus side of things for sure the next couple days with temperatures. >> eric: coming off a weekend where we hit the 70s, we have nothing to complain about. hopefully everything is good as you head out on the road this morning. >> jonathan: looks likes it is, no trouble spots around the capital city, we will keep our eyes on the roads and let you know if anything pops up. eric: abc columbia wants to help you jump start your day. >> jonathan: we have a quick rundown of your top morning headlines. >> eric: democrat hillary clinton and republican donald trump are cementing their status as presidential front-runners after winning this weekend's vote in nevada and right here in

[cheers] but it is crunch time. we have to go out and vote. we have to get out there. we have to vote. >> eric: the gop presidential candidates are now shifting their attention to nevada. the republican caucus there takes place tomorrow. meanwhile the democratic presidential candidates are focusing their campaign efforts right here in south carolina ahead of saturday's vote. bernie sanders was in greenville yesterday vying for votes. despite his second place finish in nevada, sanders says his campaign is gaining momentum in the democratic primary process something he hopes will carry him through this weekend here in

>> if you look at national polls, and you want a candidate who is going to defeat donald trump, you're looking at that candidate! and there would be nothing that would give me greater pleasure than, in fact, beating donald trump! >> eric: and from the upstate to right here in the capital city, sanders also took time to stop by brookland baptist church to reach out to potential voters. during yesterday's visit, sanders touched on the economy and criminal justice reform.m. he also has some celebrities stomping for him across the palmetto state. actor-producer danny glover will be hitting the campaign trail for sanders today. sanders will appear with glover at a prayer breakfast this morning in sumter. that's set to start at 8:30 this morning at serendipity cafe. so in a couple hours. glover also has stops planned in charleston. eric: hillary clinton supporters will be busy trying to shore up support before saturday's primary. her campaign continues its "breaking down barrier" forums today. the forum is made up of civil
