this sunday morning. aanks for being here with us. i'mm tuss. >> and i'm meagan fitzgerald. lauryn ricketts, it should be a nice super bowl sunday. bad out not looking too there. going to be a great sunday. if you have plans to maybe get out of the house especially later on tonight. arming up atures are pretty quickly. in fact those temperatures are in the0s and 30s, but we'll take the temperatures warmer than what we had yesterday. yesterday only into the mid-40s, but today low to mid-50s. and we do have some fog, but we'll have a mix of sun and clouds through the day today. if you want to get the salt off your car, today is the dayo do it. no good rain chaenss nces until wednesday night. we'll have the full forecast coming up,ut the change takes place again wednesday. so dry until then thanks tosu hh pr atlanta seeing a few showers right now, but they have the dome at mercedes-bem. stad for us, we are looking good here

in the d.c. area thanks to high pressure. we'll talk about those chances of some rain and also just talk about how'l warm get on the 10 day forecast in about 15 minutes. needless for say, it has been a tumultuous two days for ralph northam. he is nowut backtracking a a racially charged photo that has resurfaced and it's been a whirl quin wind of calls for his regular nation. >> david culver is live for us this morning. good morning. yoe obviously w there at the press conference yesterday. you had an opportunity to speak with the governor and the first reporter to he speak to the lieutenant 2k3wulieu te ten -- lieu ten naent governant. advising the governor? >> reporter: that is a great question and that was such a bizarre gathering yesterday. a 45 minutes adding really to

are more confusion, not clarifying much when it comes to this photo and initially he is saying that he was inhe oto, he apologized for it, not only through a written statement but then through a videotw eet. and then less than 24 hours later in that press conference, reversing that apology and saying it wa not him and referring to another incident in which he dressed up as michael jackson he says back in 1984. to your question as to who was advising him, because you hear all the democratic leader, you hear folks who were his supporters going forward, you had senator contakainw and we k that he isol notwing their advice to resign, but i'm told that his sourc in-are circle cluing his chief of staff, his secretary of naturalnd resources, he says his pastor has been advising him. asell as his wife pam. now, it is not clear if after yesterday's press conference,

which really was kin of a disaster when it comes to maintaining his public image certainly among oth docrats because i'meang from several of them this morning who say that he can no longer continue b this way, but i want to you listen to a litt from what he had to say yesterday when it comes to trying to clarify things with regards to that photo and then the other incident involving a michael costume. ke a listen. >> i remember the dancete c in san antonio just like it was yesterday. and so my conclion from that is i certainly take responsibility fored what happ in san antonio. i have learned from that. but this was not my picture. i was not in that costume. either asce black or as kkk. and it is not me.ep >>ter: so you hear that and of course we then follow up with the question, why then apologize immediately friday nit. he says he did so out of feeling

the hurt and pain that others were exper wncing andting to do something to bring some healing. seems he has only aed to t confusion and outrage. >> and i think one of the maine, questions hhere really is no one who has said that he should stay at this point in time. and then you start looking the procedures for how he could potentially be impeached. he says if it becomes clear that he can no longer lead, h that will step aside. so in your personal opinion, do you think we're going towards impeachment or him stepping teide? >> rep i talked to two senate sources who tell me img peachment is very unlikely. they are hoping that he w ultimatel step aside. it is something thats rather just quite frankly very unusual here. who is somebody initially supported by so many, not only on a lil levpolitical but a friendship level, and they are saying that h is ignoring all of those who have really initiallyed suppoim and will

stay in power for really an unclear amount of time. that is the other question. dat is the time line of this process inermining whether or not you feel that you can continue with that support. it is ulear. >> we have a lot to figure out to sure. david culver live for us in richmond, doing a great job. >> absolutely. >> stay on it and we'll check back in with you. meantime, the calls for resignation do continue from northam's own party. take a listen. >> he should resign. i saw the photo after i saw you guysast night. so disturbing. so cist. there is no place for racism in our gornment, among our leaders.y it reall just was so disturbing. >> that is democratic presidential candidate andkirst making those comments iew hampshire yesterday. >> and you can catch all the latest development on the northam controversy and see more on thatre news connce in our

concerts, a lot of fun. and a lot of people looking forward t this game. really interesting, because we know in a in the world se that t was los angests and , boston of course winning. and now we do it again for the ampionship in football with patriots and the rams. rams looking for a littleve e maybe there, the newcomers here though and the patriots have done it so much times. hard to bet against tomho brady and guys. >> i'm going to the rams. >> i don't know, rams have a flesh-eating defense. and aaron donald is no joke. and jared goff can get it done. only way to beat tom brady is to knock him tound. so ify can do that -- >> i'm over it. >> who are you going with? >> i think you'reight, if they can get to tom brady and knock him down a couple times, that changes the wholemi dy that will change the whole game. and they have really been fired up on defense like you talk

about. i'd love to see the rams win, but again, if somebody made me bet money on it, and i would never dothat, it would have to be the patriots. >> well, we'll see whatha ens. >> so make us sausage and then cheeseburger and steak and whatever else. fun, buddy. >> if the eagles can upset, rams can too. >> i don't know if we would call ly an upset. we are perfe positioned to beat the patriots last year. >> we'll see.ck 6:30 f, right? >> and i'm pulling for the rams. >> so am i. >> everybody outside new england is pulling for the rams. >> although i've heard a lot of people say you start to root for greatness. and people want to see tom bradg even t she's a cheater -- >> he's been great. time to move on. >> and some rain do there. >> yeah, and sean mcvay, he used to be redskins. >> so a redskins. connecti >> but rain, jay has been saying no the sure if they will open up. i bet they -- i'm willing to bet

they do because we have a few light showers out there, but>> i bet you could put a bet on that. >> i bet you can. i'm a betting girl. listen, you can bet on anything. because we have a few sprinkl out there right now, i think that they will last until noon and then it will dry ou it will look cloudy through much of the day. not that pristine clear skies. but i think that they might be able to get the dome open.ai a few sprinkles down there as an area of low, pressu just a disturbance passing by, squeezing out as much moisture as it can. but you see the stuff off the southeast coast, eventually all that moisture will continue off to the southeast coast and dry up aroundatlanta. d again, i think that happens throughout the lunch hour. so again, by this afternoon, they shoulddry down there. we're dry up here, high pressure in charge for us l.king go so we're dry today, mostly dry tomorrow. we have a few passing showers possible mainly west. it might even be west of the blue ridge mountains because the

models have really backed off on that. i think most of us will be dry tomorrow night. so i say go ahead and get that car washed. we will have rain, but not until wednesday night and then unegts issed conditis thursday and friday. if you need to head to the grocy store,t might be craziness there, but if you are perfect the store, a model, dry, same with church services, exercise, brunch looking good through your sunday morning.ur temper, a little cold. might have to go ahead and put on the gear asemperatures are around the freezing mark right now. not only doav we patchy ice still around from the melting we got yesterday, also a little fo. as we but that will burn off. we're headed to the low 50s today. average temperature is in the mid-40s. and ler on tonight after the super bowl parties or any areas to watch the game, listen, those temperaturbo will be freezing, we'll drop into the midnight just after and maybe a little fog, but looking dry as we head into the

overnight and drys youit the road tomorrow morning. some patchy fog tomorrow morning, but sunny and mild. in fact by the time you head home, temperatures inhe mid-50s. wednesday is the next big change. temperatures on wednesday in the 40s. in late e rain moving wednesday night, that will continue here and there through the day thursday. n thursday move pite theo the 50s d rain as a warm front lifts through the area. that warm front will continue tr move to the allowing us to make it into the mid-60s on friday, but still a little unstable with passing showers. breezy on friday, and then an arctic high comes back in for saturday and sunday and guess e what,ave a wintry mix the following monday and tuesday possible. i'm mark murray. >> and i'm kerry. >> we'reo up eight candidates gi officily in the race. >> and for the folk who aren't in yet, their window might be closing. where getting crowded and there is already more than one

how warm we'll get this week because it is a roller coaster ride once again. we'll show you that coming up in minutes. meantime want to turn our nsion attention back to the story dominating national headlines. virginia governor ral northam fusing to step down. >> after initially apologizing for the photo, now he says it is not him. and david culver, you were there throughout this entire thi . question fyou, should things change within the next coming days and governor northam steps down, that would mean that justin fairfax takes over the governorship. does he then appoint a lieutenant governor and if so, who could psibly take that position? >> reporter: to put it bluntly, there is a cloud of confusion over what exactly will happen here. we do know that if governor

ralph northam steps aside and refgns, which as now he has given no indication that he will do so and certainly in that 45 minutes of a press conference happening in the executive mansion just a few feet from wheree e, he said that he will stay on and continue talks with fellow democrats trying to wi back their support. though talking to democrats this morning, it seems that that is very unlikely. then if that resignation does happen, justin fairfax obviously will step into that governor's seat. it iseeming that tell be replaced at least temporarily by theer spe proce temp of the senate. and then perhaps it would turn into an appointment position that if he is then governo of fairfax, he would appoint rn lieutenant go. i've been told by sources within senate democrat leadership that the attorney general was trying to figure out how exactly that would play out. so still a lot of questions remaining there.

but with regards to thena lieu governor justin fairfax, we were the first to catch up with him yesterday, he was walkingere on the capitol lrounds headed to his office and surrounded by seve security members as well as a large staff. we asked him if he saw that press conference. >> what did you make of it? >> you know, think the governor went out and gave his answers. rse we also issued a statement and said that we believe that the images wereal re vile and an abhorrent and disturbing. i think it disturbed a lot of people not just in the commonwealth of virginia, but around the country. and wre at a really important momentn the history of virginia and this naftion and w need leadership that can unite us. that is what i've been focused one >> reporter: goes on to say that he believes that he hopes amthat governor ralph norill do the right thing for virginia and for virginians not diravtly

as you pointed out calling for northam'sresignation, but a lot of folks reading between the lines that he is asking him in many ways to step aside if that is what brings healing to commonwealth. >> and david, i have to imagine the northam camp has to feel like their shed spinnihead is s right now. he makes a major transportation announcent, he is in fully in control and then within a matter of hours all oft changes. they must be in such an awkward position at this point. what is your sense with how they are dealing with it? >> reporter: quite frankly, i don't think that i've ever seen such stressful faces as i saw on the commications team sterday as they were preparing for that press conference even trying to wrap it up was a struggle for them because seemed that the governor wanted to take every single question that was out there a that is why lasted so long. buthe northam camp has gotten

small and i'm told it is really justain advisers who are surrounding around the governor, giving him advice, advice that others outsidef thatamp, others who initially support governor northam are saying you need to step down. it seems the advisers have not given him thate call for resignation. and if they have, he is not listening to it at least for now. >> seemingly far from over. david cver outsidef the executive mansion for us in richmond, thank you. president trump now weighing in. in a tweet last night, he wrote about how the racist photo could have changed the outcome of the gubernatorial ce. his tweet said if they found the picture before theti elecon, ed gillespie wins by 20 points. president trump supported gillespie during the hotlyco ested race in 2017. virginia saw a strong voter turnout with many seeing this as an early referendum on e
