we had plenty of sunshine and warming temperatures into the 50s. that's pretty much where we are right now. 51 degrees in d.c. 52 in manassas, what a nice day, get out and do whatever you need to do today. because as we head into tomorrow we're going to see some rain. rain as early as about 6:00, 7:00 a.m. just showers, but it's going to pick up as we get into the afternoon. it's going to be warm. low to mid 60s for daytime highs tomorrow. so heavy rain continuing through much of the day. and the big change will be early in the afternoon. but this is where our flood watch is. areas to the north, we still have the cape and opecin creek and river getting the flood warnings because they were ice-jammed we have the storm watch for melting snow and heavy rain. veronica will have how much we're going to see, coming up. new developments today in efforts to fight the zika virus. health officials in dallas now say a patient there has caught the virus through sexual contact. the person in dallas had contact

with someone who travelled to a country that's dealing with the zika right now. until now doctors weren't sure if that was possible. today the world health organization said it is setting up a global response unit. it will pull in experts from around the world, to come up with an action plan. well the agency says its number one priority is drawing up good guidelines that teach pregnant women how to protect themselves from the mosquito bites. the virus is linked to birth defects, primarily in brazil. >> we need mass community engagement here, mobilization of women's groups, of ante natal groups and to do a lot to control the vector. >> in brazil, the rio olympic committee says it is worried about zika. but says it has not yet seen any evidence of people canceling travel plans to attend the olympic games in august. >> we posted a video on our nbc washington app explaining how the zika virus spreads. learn more and share this with

to the developing story we brought you at the top of the hour. bill cosby is in court fighting to have sexual assault charges against him dropped. much of his argument hinges on the testimony of a former d.a. who refused to file charges a decade ago. we're live in montgomery county, pennsylvania with, the latest on the case. >> pat, the hearing continues at this hour. it was the comedian and entertainer bill cosby who drew hundreds of reporters from around the world here to this small courthouse in pennsylvania. but it was the testimony of the former district attorney, bruce caster, that everyone was waiting to hear. despite clutching a cane, 78-year-old bill cosby moved swiftly into a montgomery county courthouse ahead of a pivotal hearing in his sexual assault case. he faces trial for 2004

allegation against andrea. the key witness tuesday, former district attorney bruce caster who had previously indicated there wan as agreement that cosby would never be criminally prosecuted. on the stand castor clarified there was never a formal agreement with cosby. whether castor made what he characterized as a legally binding decision that cosby would never be prosecuted. castor said doubts about constand's credibility made it clear to him that a case against cosby was unwinnable. >> at the time i remember thinking that he probably did do something inappropriate. but thinking that and being able to prove it are two different things. >> cosby testified in the civil suit against him that case settled in 2006. the transcripts of cosby's testimony were released last year. montgomery county's new district attorney used cosby's admissions from that case to file criminal charges against him in december. among other things, cosby admitted giving constand wine and pills to help her relax.

a judge must decide whether cosby's own words can be used against him. it appears that this hearing will continue tomorrow. the judge says he plans to rule fairly quickly. he says he believes he can rule as soon as the hearing is over. live in montgomery county, pennsylvania, i'm chris pollone, news4. take a look around your street next street you drive down, you still see the mounds of snow everywhere. >> with more rain coming, veronica, what kind of rush hours are we looking at tomorrow? >> i think we're going to see some real travel delays. not for the morning rush, but the afternoon rush. we're in storm center 4 keeping you ahead of the storm for tomorrow. take a look. here's what we're thinking on travel delays. for early tomorrow morning. this is the morning rush, really think we'll have minimal delays, around our area, yes there's going to be some fog as the morning unfolds. the latter part of it and early afternoon. we move from minimal to more moderate conditions. especially with the fog that will be out there.

for the afternoon rush, more moderate travel delays. yes, there will be some traffic getting backed up tomorrow afternoon. not having to worry about the icy conditions for tomorrow morning. these are the early-morning temperatures, everywhere above freezing. frederick, so at the bus stop, around areas of the beltway inside d.c., 36, showers and fog and then stormy conditions. but look at how high the temperature is going to be for tomorrow. that's near record warmth. the record for tomorrow is 65 degrees. so it's rain and a lot of wind, too. coming through. with this system during the mid part of the day. there are the showers scattered early part of the day. by noon, 1:00, that's the time period you need to keep an eye on. watch the line of yellow, moderate to heavy rain and even the chance for some thunderstorms, as lauren will have in a few minutes, the areas most at risk. frederick down towards fredericksburg again more moderate to heavy rain. 4:00, 5:00. after 5:00, 6:00, the bigger batch heads out and we'll start clearing out.

a lot of snow still left on the ground. north and west of d.c., we're expecting a half to as much as an inch of rain throughout our area. and that means the potential for some river flooding. the snow pack north and west, these are the areas of most concern in yellow. leesburg, montgomery county, frederick county. the potomac at edward's ferry, where we could see the potential for river flooding. and the high winds, gusts around 30 to maybe even 40 miles per hour. as we top out again in the low to mid 60s. very warm day coming up tomorrow. then our temperatures as we move forward, 53 degrees on thursday, i think that high temperature will come early in the day. 40s for the end of the week. but we're not done with winter. the other thing we've got coming up in detail for you, is when we could have a little bit of snow back in our area. lauren has that, too, a little later this hour. well it's become as much a part of the super bowl as the game itself -- today advertisers are rushing out sneak peeks to their new game day commercials. ten spots are on youtube.

everything from beers to cars and electronics. the ads cost up to $5 million for a 30-second spot. so advertisers are looking to expand beyond the game and make their investments pay off. news4's carol maloney is live in california for the big game. carol? >> hey, chris, yeah, we're downtown san francisco. and the stars of the show here, the super bowl and the quarterbacks of course. and they couldn't be more different. you have peyton manning, 39 years old, the oldest qb to take his team to super bowl and you have cam newton on the other hand for the panthers, he was nine years old when peyton entered the league. he just exudes youthful exuberance. they both seem to be members of the mutual admiration society and certainly appreciate each other. >> there's a lot things that peyton has done, is doing and i wish that i could mimic. but i can't do it like peyton can. only can he do it.

i try to translate all the things i learned from him or have saw him do, but you know other quarterbacks in this league and i try to apply it to my own. >> what he's done, in his short time being in an nfl quarterback, he is, he's been awesome. and it's the best word i can think of. his passion, his hiss enthusiasm for the game. think it's great. i think it's good for football. >> as far as peyton retiring, that's the big story line here. he said this could be it. more to come, though right now he's just concentrating on the game. coming up on news4 at 5:00, we sit down with joe theismann, the living legend from the redskins, his thoughts about the match-up and any regrets he has from the past. we'll share them with you coming up in a little bit. >> all right, carol. well it's a story you saw first on news4. a white house floi emplemployee

trouble for cheating the system out of thousands of taxpayers. what happened when she went from the white house to the courthouse. and a man with a gun tries to hold up a convenience store. what he didn't expect is the clerk having the skills to turn the tables. and now that the iowa caucuses are in the books, we want to know who you think now has the most momentum? >> and a survey, during the break call or text the number on your screen to vote or sound

blizzard is long past, but there's still some scary moments on the roads across our area as we continue to recover from that massive storm. this morning a school bus slid off an icy road and into a guardrail in rockville there were two students on the bus at the time. it halved on avery road near norbeck road, they were heading to rockville high school. the bus was damaged, but no one was hurt. folks who run loudoun county schools are trying to figure out how to offer universal full-day kindergarten. the school administration recently vealed it would cost roughly $16.5 million. and that's just to hire enough teachers, support staff and to buy materials for students this fall. that figure does not take into account buying the classroom space needed. right now loudoun county is the

only district in northern virginia that does not offer universal full-day kindergarten. maybe the warmer weather we're enjoying today is more than just a trend. >> there is no shadow to be cast. and an early spring is my forecast! >> in case you missed it, punxsutawney phil emerged from his hole and did not see his shadow. predicting an early spring. over the previous 129 years, he predicted a longer winter 102 times. >> we're counting on him, aren't we? >> i hope so. for a lot of people, news of an early spring can't come soon enough. the intense winter weather that's beating down on the heart of the country. >> and storm team 4 has plenty to talk about this afternoon.

hillary clinton trying to put the best light on last night. when a few coin tosses in iowa decided who got the final democratic delegates, it was that close. but clinton did not lose iowa like she did in 2008. >> and new hampshire is going to have to decide who could go toe to toe with the republicans to make sure they don't wreck us again. >> 350 supporters out before dawn hailed bernie sanders as a winner. >> i just got in from iowa where we astounded the world. >> sanders has an 18-point lead in new hampshire polls with the primary a week away. clinton is looking ahead four weeks to south carolina where she has a 30-point lead in democratic polls. republican ted cruz, the only candidate to notch a convincing win last night, came to new hampshire. >> the men and women of iowa sent notice across this country

that this election is not going to be decided by the media. >> but marco rubio is in new hampshire with more mainstream gop backing after his strong third-place in iowa. with donald trump as he heads to new hampshire and a characteristic tweet about iowa, second place, nice, and trump leads in south carolina primary voting. >> the campaigning caucus is next tuesday. republican on saturday debate. live if manchester, steve handelsman, news4. >> great insight, steve. we've collected some cool photos from the iowa caucuses. all you got to do is open up the nbc washington app and search caucus scenes. the blizzard that threatened to interrupt the voting last night hit iowa. the worst of the storm rolled in this morning. it's expected to produce up to a foot of snow before it's all over and this is a look at

conditions in des moines. where high winds and snow made it tough to get around. blizzard and winter storm warnings are in effect for much of the northern part of the state through tomorrow morning. well, they did have some snow in iowa and they may even have some snow in new hampshire. by the time the voting goes on. there on tuesday, maybe a little snow/rain mix for us on monday. but no snow tomorrow as temperatures rise into the 60s, we starting to see the cloud cover roll into the area. temperatures made it to about 50 degrees. here's the storm affecting us, you can see the dry slotting went on through there. this is all the system that's headed our way. all along a cold front that will eventually sweep through tomorrow afternoon. and bring us a good amount of rainfall, with the snow pack, creating some flooding conditions, could have some heavy rain, breezy winds out there and even some thunderstorms, where we think the thunderstorms will be from charlottesville up through

southern maryland. by tomorrow afternoon. so we'll keep an eye on that. and we'll keep an eye on the winds and flooding for tomorrow as well. thanks, lauren. right now crews are still making repairs on a broken water main so expect delays if you're driving through downtown silver spring. look at the hole the break left near georgia avenue. wssc fixed it on monday, but it cracked again today. the pipe is 90 years old. wssc said it had to fix nearly 400 water main breaks last month, not unusual given the extreme weather changes we've seen this year. a vote in the d.c. council today could put the district a step closer to letting people smoke marijuana out in the open. the council approved the creation of a task force to study how the city might allow people to use pot in designated clubs and other public spaces. right now it's only legal to grow and smoke limited amounts of marijuana for home use. task force is to report back in four months. to a story now that you saw

first on news4 -- a former white house staff supervisor is facing some hard time. former director of white house switchboard operations andrea turk pleaded guilty to a federal charge of theft from the government that happened today. turk oversaw 15 employees between 2009-2013. she in court today admitted doctoring the time sheets of one of those workers. she admitted funneling unearned bogus overtime pay to the workers and she admitted taking half of the money in return either in cash or by wire transfer. prosecutors say they will recommend less than six months in prison for turk when she is sentenced in april. she did not speak to news4 after leaving the courthouse. it's been almost a week and a half since the big blizzard. how people in one part of our region felt about delaying school today. even though there's no new snow. >> computer cord danger. first at 4:00, the serious concerns about this cord and why it could pose a hazard to

is temperatures will drop not all that much tonight. we're going to start to see the warmer air come in our area. so no icy patches to worry about. if you're going out, it's going to be dry, temperatures well above freezing. so no road issues if you will be going out. but early tomorrow morning there could be fog. here's the 5:00 a.m. you can see the areas around 0.1. that's dense fog and all the

areas where you're seeing the white until up to about 10:00 a.m. tomorrow morning and the wind will start to pick up as the rain starts to pick up for early tomorrow morning. 7:00 to 10:00 a.m., light rain. but heavy rain in the forecast. not going to end until about 7:00 to 8:00 a.m. here's the system that we're tracking. same system that's bringing snow to areas of the midwest. so for us, morning fog, moderate to heavy rain, a few thunderstorms and the high winds, but lauren has more on again the chance of snow and a colder pattern that comes back into our forecast. >> thanks, vj. if you own a microsoft surface pro, take a look at the power cord that came with it microsoft is recalling more than two million of them sold before last march. they received 56 reports of the cords overheating and starting a fire. five people say they've been electrocuted by the cord. for years we've watched it

>> well we've still got some sunshine out there not looking too bad, but the clouds are moving in quickly. that's going to set us up for tomorrow. what we're going to see, lots of rain headed our way, let's go to the map, show you what's going on. we'll start this. because nothing happening get out there and get whatever you need to get done today. because tomorrow you're probably $ñ to want to go outside. and for the kids at home, there's probably not going to be any delays tomorrow considering temperatures are going to rise and we won't fall below freezing tonight. but rain will move in before the morning commute and stick with us for the morning commute. stick with us through the early morning. it will be spotty at first, but then the heavy rain moves in during the afternoon. and again we could even have some thunderstorms out there. pretty much from a line charlottesville up through fredericksburg and coming through southern maryland is where we'll see some possible thunderstorms. but again, anywhere from about a half an inch up to maybe a little over an inch will fall through tomorrow. plus with the snow melt we'll see some flooding out here. everything out of here after the evening commute.

and we'll keep some of the clouds around as well so for your driving impact we're looking at fog and rain in the morning. temperatures are going to be in the mid 40s. we're going to take the temperatures up into the low to mid 60s. by the late afternoon. so from 8:00 to 10:00, spotty light rain coming through for the morning commute. plan ahead and plan ahead for what you want to wear. definitely going to want to grab the rain jacket, umbrella and boots. it is going to be a warm rain. feel more like a spring rain out there. than a february rain so maybe a light rain jacket in store. the rain is going to be very heavy. so a big umbrella. you're going to want do grab, not one of the small ones, a big one, if you're out and about during the afternoon and into the evening. if you want to get the car washed, i would do it on thursday, because with the rain tomorrow we're going to be dry through the weekend. you've got thursday, friday and saturday to get that done. temperatures tomorrow, low to mid 60s as the warm surge of air moves in the frontal system moves through.

starting before the morning commute, ending after the evening commute. we've got clouds on thursday. by friday, saturday and sunday, this is why i said get the car washed. temperatures are going to be in the 40s, then maybe a mix late on monday into tuesday. looking minimal impact right now. of course we'll continue to watch it. guys? >> thanks, lauren. out in san diego, a pair of teenagers found themselves in a dangerous situation after the rain turned a creek into a raging river. they told rescuers they tried driving through it for fun and were swept away by the strong current. realize now it was a really dumb thing to do. >> i tried to shake everyone's hands on the way out. honestly we would not have gotten out. the water was going so fast and they didn't d it will best way possible. they kept us under control and brought the raft over to us and pulled us out it was nice and easy for them. they saved us. >> the teenagers sat on the roof of their car until the rafts came by, they caught the whole
