here is the low pressure system in northern louisiana heading toward the tennessee river valley. the front is stationary to our south but it is a warm front back into the central gulf region and all of the moisture and warm air is coming northward and conditions are right for tornadoes to form. it'll be a bit busy in that area. behind it we have cold air coming down into the plain states. we'll focus on south carolina right now. and today you could tell a difference. it got up to 74 in augusta, 75- degrees in charleston, 64 in orangeburg, 59 in sumter, 61 in columbia and 49 degrees upstate. currently 46 in newberry. 50 in winnsboro and camden, 55 in columbia, orangeburg at 5 # -- 59 degrees. tomorrow morning there will be thunderstorms coming into georgia. this may not be the actual configuration of everything because this is a dynamic storm system. things will be changing and we'll update it at 11:00 tonight. cold front pushes on through and it'll be windy behind front to the end of the week. forecast tonight, the front is going to be slow to move north. we'll see a low of 45 in

also northern louisiana and arkansas. eventually this rain is going to push into mississippi and that's where you need the umbrella. the heaviest rain in montgomery, mobile, especially north of mobile. possibility of 2, 3 inches.torm one. storm two behind that is going to be a bigger storm toward the middle and end of the week. that storm, mostly a warm storm, could give us severerrow in areas of the deep south along the gulf. the mid-atlantic region on wednesday. mostly a rain event. if we're going to get illinois, indiana, michigan the best chance. the back side, snow showers. temperatures are starting warm but as that storm begins to move to the north some colder air so below-average temperatures middle of the week in the deep south and a good chunk of the eastern half of the country will be chilly by the time we head into next weekend.tional weather. here's a closer look at your day ahead. today the heavy rain this morning around shreveport and down towards houston, louisiana, i don't expect much in the way of severe

northern louisiana. this will eventually begin to slide into mississippi and alabama today.o, heaviest rains mobile northward, jackson, montgomery, birmingham, and atlanta will get storms late today, too. that's the best chance of any airport delays and then this evening some of that rain makes it towards the carolinas. so the week ahead we get this first storm that's going to be moving out. then the second one will be moving through the gulf tomorrow, up the east coast, maybe a little bit of snow on the backside, jonathan. illinois, indiana, and michigan. and that will be it by the end of the week we're fine. and temperaturewise it's not a bad day, jonathan. enjoy this today, d.c. 52 degrees after a beautiful weekend, it continues. >> that's great, bill. thanks a lot. >>> still ahead, diversity in hollywood ahead of this sunday's oscars. the only studio that got an "f." plus the president and first lady try to keep up with a 106-year-old white house guest. how they made her dream come true, next on "way too early." know your financial plan won't keep you up at night. know y

would allow hunters better access to and from hunting areas in the kisatchie national forest in northern louisiana. louisiana legislature passed house bill 581 by louisiana representative james arms in 2015. this new state law would allow municipalities to designate certain local roads for use by utility terrain vehicles, also known as u.t.v.'s, or side-by-sides. these are not to be confused with a.t.v.'s or all-terrain vehicles. they are larger, weigh more, seat multiple passengers and are often equipped with safety features like roll cages, seat belts and enclosed cabs. my amendment would build on the louisiana law to allow seamless, seamless access from these designated local roads into hunting areas within kisatchie national forest. the size of these vehicles makes them more difficult to transport when compared with a.t.v.'s. the ever increasing list of features of u.t.v.'s makes them very attractive for hunters in order to recover game and transport supplies and equipment. the amendment would allow the louisiana secretary of wildlife and fisheries to nominate roads that would be open in the k

northern gulf coast. in fact we have a moderate -- risk for severe weather which, storm prediction center terminology, that means widespread severe damage from eastern louisiana into the western panhandle of florida. that's for them today. eventually the cold front associated with that low will move through our area as we head through tomorrow between 8:00 and noon, that will provide us with a chance of strong thunderstorms. i don't think we're in for a tornadic threat here because the spin is really going to be further to the north, but we are game for gusty winds, perhaps even damaging winds, 40 to 60 mile-per-hour winds can't be ruled out, as this comes through. then clears us out, in fact by the time we get to 4:00 the clouds come from the gulf, an indication of a westerly wind taking over, that will begin what will be a much cooler period for us. thursday and into the weekend. so storm prediction center that would be a level 4, we're not at 3, we're at 2, from hillsborough county heading to the nature coast. this is between 8:00 and noon, for strong thunderstorms as they begin to roll through. the threat diminishes the further south you go, and increases

northern neck. nbc's chris pollone is taking a closer look at the wild weather from new york to louisiana coming up in about ten minutes. >>> those storms have given way to some interesting changes today as you step outside. we know you probably noticed it feels a lot different. >> it's breezy and definitely a lot colder. let's get to storm team4 4 chief meteorologist doug kammerer . >> we have to remember it's still winter out there and we're still dealing with the same storm that came through yesterday although n w take a look at what that means for the radar. look at the snow. you notice that in through pennsylvania, up around the lakes. a lot of lake-effect snow going into the mountains of west virginia and western portions of maryland. they will pick up a couple inches. for us we're seeing light snow showers across the area so some snow showers up towards hagerstown, frederick, even fairfax county, vienna reporting snow showers earlier. some sprinkles down to the south. not going to amount to much for us. what it shows you is the kolt a cold air moving in. 28-mile-an-hour wind gust in d.c. 37

northern new orleans, and mobile, alabama, they are at a modern risk of severe weather. they have shutdown schools in parts of southeast louisiana and mississippi in advance of this severe weather. tornadoes, strong storms damaging winds, they got it all on the table down there. the storm system is going to come our way, bu but we do not it. what we do see is windy conditions coming in tomorrow with rain in the forecast. some of that rain could be heavy as the low lifts up through the ohio valley, and as it pushes away, we get on the backside of it, that is going to mean windy conditions as we move into thursday with some snow in the forecast. let's put it all in motion, taking it through today, clouds increasing quiet today by late afternoon, upper 40s and low 50s areawide, and then here comes the rain tonight this, is around midnight into tomorrow morning for the drive tomorrow morning, it is wet, rain coming down, that's at 7:00 a.m., temperatures in the upper 40s, low 50s and then the rain scattered out somewhat, but as thunderstorms are possible through tomorrow afternoon, now we're looking at the difference in temperatures

northern ohio. but right now computers are suggesting, look at that, really begins to build. there's going to be some severe weather over the course of the next 48 hours. mississippi, louisiana, over into alabama, with tornadoes likely here. so our spring severe weather season, it's almost spring, february, this is the normal area you see tornadoes. and i think we're going see some. this low begins to track this way. and right now it looks like it goes right through bye secting ohi-- bisect ohio. it looks like rain, then we'll wrap in some snow. unfortunately for those who thursday, this doesn't look like right now enough snow to get you closed down. i'm thinking two to four inches of snowfall from this system during the day thursday. but that will carry us into thursday evening. so it's going take awhile to get in here. 28 tonight, a few clouds, and chilly. let's show you tomorrow. how about a high of, let's go 44, why not. cloud/sun mix, staying drive. your seven-day shows the snow and the rain, then a big cool- down, coming up next. >>> thank you mark. >>> here's what's coming up at 9:00. >> two men hitting the same department store chain in multiple location. >>> police

in towards eastern texas, louisiana and on the backside of this system there is very cold arctic air providing for the snowfall for parts of texas, eastern new mexico and northern western texas. as we zoom in in south florida, we are expecting some spotty showers today as we are headed with the system winds from the no severe weather threat for us today. just some spotty storms because of the wind direction, but a line of heavy rain and some thunderstorms starting to move into homestead and upper keys. i will continue to track this through the lunchtime. you definitely need your umbrellas. it your travels take you over homestead near portions of the upper keys will you have wet conditions. that low and cold front will slowly push to the east. the severe weather threat is along the gulf coast states but you see the tail end of the front will be affecting us in south florida as early as tomorrow afternoon. we are talking 4:00 into the evening hours. so as we break it down for you the severe weaeaer threat tornadoes cannot be ruled out, damaging winds you just saw severe thunderstorms this morning and shower a a thunderstorm activity will be focused from texas to

louisiana. the energy will lift northeastward but it will drag a cold front through and showers and thunderstorms. with a storm track, it is so far weather chances will be across northern florida into georgia with general afternoon thunderstorms on thursday with a couple of gusty winds. we watched that carefully. couple of showers popping up towards davenport. we do believe any shower activity will be winding down. temperatures along the coast, cooler because of the relatively cooler water temperatures which s. east and east southeasterly flow. the warmer the warmer temperatures are in the 80' s. hour-by-hour in orlando, if you looking for a cool down -- it is palm bay. conditioner going on. 65 in ocala. rd. means the best rain' s north and west of town and we stay in the 80' s for one more day. with the front on thursday, we are expecting the potential for a couple of a couple of inches of rain from one to two inches. based upon what we are seeing this evening. that is subject to change going forward. afternoon highs -- upper 80' s. 80 to 85 degrees tomorrow afternoon. is the record in jeopardy? the answer is no. record highs for tomorrow is 86 and 88. orlando is the
