. >> a big storm dubbed "frankenstorm" because it is a freaky storm. right now it's a hurricane, but it is expected to look up with a cold front that is producing rain in the great lakes so it is kind of rare to see something like this coming together, like it did almost back in 1991 with a perfect storm. in the meantime we have tranquil weather today. it's foggy. 63 at reagan national, 62 at dulles at this hour. sandy is a category one hurricane with winds at 80 miles an hour, moving through the northwestern bomb was -- northwestern bahamas. 62 degrees at 9:00. mostly cloudy by noon, 68. 70 by 5:00 with a little sunshine by this afternoon. two days to go. more details on sandy, nacoming up. back to you. >> thank you. residents on the east coast pulling out the sandbags. >> utility companies in our area are preparing for expected power outages. live team coverage continues with john gonzalez in alexandria. >> perhaps a small taste of what's to come. it's raining in alexandria, virginia. pepco has already been in contact with a number of utility compani

a lot of folks wondering why is this a frankenstorm? we're seeing all the right ingredients to make it just that. we've got a hurricane moving up the coast, possibly becoming a tropical storm by the time it gets near us. we have high pressure up across new england that will block that storm and push it inland. then we've got a weather front coming in from the west. all interacting, giving us a whole lot of rain throughout the area. the winds are at 75 miles per hour, sitting just off the coast of florida. watch it as it makes its way northward. a category 1, perhaps even weakening before it makes landfall. so what's changed now from the last time we hit air, and from some of the new guidance that comes out, is the fact that it's going to be lagging by about 12 hours. so the brunt of the storm, the worst of the storm now probably late monday through tueay morning or at least midday. and coming inland somewhere perhaps around the southern shore of new jersey on tuesday. all right. you can see the radar there. the spin, showers already hit

forecasters at the national weather service have taken to calling what is upon us a frankenstorm. it's a come by niegs combination of a few things. it's a hurricane. but hurricane sandy combines with a winter storm coming out of the west and that combines further with a blast of arctic air. a storm or a storm system or combination of storm systems that's potentially this significant is always of national significance. but the frankenstorm could be of flit call significance if the damage is long-lasting enough that it complicates not just early voting next week but potentially voting on election day itself on november 6th. there's no reason to be alarmed about this, but there's reason to pay attention to the storm. reason to pay attention to the storm no matter where you live. even if it's not going to direct you as weather, it might direct you as politics. in the swing state of virginia, governor bob mcdonnell has already declared a state of emergency in anticipation of the frankenstorm and mitt romney has cancelled a rally set for sunday in virginia beach buzz of the threat of th
