we'll talk more about this with rob marciano in a moment. and a look at the most covered murder trial in america right now. some kind of legal issue brought the casey anthony trial to a screeching halt. anthony's lawyer says he expects things to get going again today in orlando, florida. before the delay, he said the defense would rest wednesday or thursday. that may be delayed. anthony, as you have likely heard, is accused of killing her 2-year-old daughter. >>> a murder suspect in oklahoma apparently didn't want to wait for his trial. he managed to overpower a couple of deputies and bust out of jail. authorities found him yesterday hiding in some weeds until a pond. he didn't put up a fight. he was allegedly arrested for killing his ex-girlfriend and her two children last year. an arrest warrant is issued for muammar qadhafi. international judges in the haag are mull it over for crimes against humanity. the international criminal court says he can link qadhafi, his son, and his brother-in-law to widespread attacks on libyan civilians. thes

rob marciano is in stone mountain, georgia, this morning. good morning, rob. dots for all of the records we've already set from sunday to tuesday on the map, it's pretty incredible. >> it is. it will continue today for parts of the northeast, certainly the southeast here in atlanta, georgia, just outside of it where stone mountain park, this is the largest piece of exposed gran net the world. there's a carving in there that features prominent folks from the civil war. jeff davis, robert e. lee and stonewall jackson. the same designer that carved out mount rushmore did this puppy. it's a huge tour u.s. attraction. throughout the day there will be people in some cases climbing up that. it might not be the smartest thing at high noon where temperatures will soar into the 90s. we had record breaking up through laguardia, newark and baltimore as well touching 100 degrees in some cases. we'll have a similar deal today with d.c. up to philly and new york city looking at heat advisories and excessive heat warnings there. so dangerous heat. and this is the stuff that c

rob marciano has some details on this. how often do tornadoes hit in massachusetts. >> every few years. they are typically not this strong. the last one that hit in massachusetts was in '08. that was an ef-0, judging from the look of this and the damage, it is just coming in now. this was easily an ef-2, if not an ef-3 tornado. winds well over 100 miles an hour. not only trees being taken out but brick buildings in some cases being ripped apart as well. here is what it looked like on the radar scope. we had a couple of cells that rolled through springfield, one at 4:30. that's where this one came through. what makes us more unusual, at 6:00, another one went through springfield. two tornadoes going through springfield within two hours of each other. that certainly is unusual. the strongest ones they have had by the way, ef-4 in '95 and another one, ef-4 in the 50s. unusual, yes, but not completely unheard of. this is the track. it pretty much went down the turnpike into worcester county, stern bridge, included. several rep

rob marciano in the extreme weather center. there is extreme weather this morning. this hurricane about to make landfall in mexico if it hasn't already. hurricane arlene -- or tropical storm arlene. >> you can expect if you're traveling today, first off, we don't expect a ton of huge delays today. that's the good news. a couple weak fronts heading across the u.s. you'll see problems tampa, orlando, minneapolis, salt lake. the major airports in new york and d.c. and boston, relatively quiet today as high pressure builds into that area after the front moved through. continue to be hazy, hot and humid across the midsection. here's arlene making landfall across northeast mexico, right between this area. rainfall, could see over a foot in some spots. the bad news, ali, the rainfall that is with this is not going to make it up into texas and new mexico and arizona where we desperately need it. feast or famine with this one. the first tropical storm of the season, making landfall this morning across northeast mexico. we'll give you updates throughout the morning. ali. >> i

. >>> let's bring it back to the united states, rob marciano in atlanta. any flight delays for travelers? >> i think we'll see some in the bigger cities this afternoon. especially a slow-moving front will bring some showers and thunderstorms. not seeing a ton on the radar now. but as we go through the day and heat things up, we'll start to get the atmosphere percolating a little bit. a little rain heading into the i-95 corridor in through the beltway as well. and from d.c. to baltimore, up through philadelphia, you'll start to see some thunderstorms that will not all should be rough and tumble, but there will be enough to create some problems. in general, new york metro will see delays, more likely in the late morning to early afternoon. philadelphia, same deal. d.c. metro will see thunderstorms and you saw those on the radar as will atlanta. so a lot of big cities, especially on the east coast are going to see some air traffic problems. so plan ahead, give yourself an extra ten or 20 minutes and that should doed trick. >> i walked out this morning and i f

rob marciano is for us, in the extreme weather center. good morning. >> good morning. kind of like politicians, meteorologists and weather men we learn quickly that it's -- you can't make everybody happy, kiss a lot of babies and such and do a lot of back pedalling after a bad forecast that's for sure. couple areas of thunderstorms. severe thunderstorm watch for the tennessee valley. one cluster heading into northern arkansas and another into nashville now. those are two areas we're watching. that watch in effect until noon local time. delays at the airports at d.c. at new york, philadelphia, as well. and atlanta. and some low clouds out there in san francisco too. the heat is the other big story. 112 in tucson, oklahoma city 103 and that heat is not going to help the fire situation certainly and the one that's approaching rapidly to los alamos. temperatures in texas will easily get over 100 degrees again today. 102 in dallas, 88 degrees in atlanta and 82 degrees expected in new york city. we're also watching something down in the gulf of mexico at this point, guys, no

. >>> rob marciano is in the extreme weather center for us right now. rob, what's it looking like if conditions for trying to get that fire under control? >> today is the first day in a long time where we've seen winds that are actually favorable or at least not damaging. we're not going to see the winds we've seen really for the past week. fire danger is not critical. it is still going to be hot, still going to be dry and winds will pick up i think tomorrow and over the next couple days. today is the day to get some work done on that fire. the heat and humidity certainly continue across parts of the south and east. and where we're seeing the most significant heat, well that's acro across the northeast. where temperatures are cooling down a little bit today after the rough weather you saw last night. winds and hail and thunder and lightning and heavy rain from the -- across the i-95 corridor. and chicago seeing it yesterday and getting it again this morning. so heavy rains across chicago land right now and some flooding happening in some of the smaller r

. >> rob marciano is in the extreme weather center for us this morning. . >> good morning. >> happy summer! >> that's right. coming this afternoon around 1:15 or so. looking good for that. of course a lot of folks have already felt summer, haven't you? we have more record highs across parts of the southeast. want to first show you some video coming out of nebraska, intense thunderstorms last night and yesterday afternoon. look at this puppy. rolling through elm creek, this is down i-80, west of lincoln and this tore up some farms, one point rolled over some freight trains and these storm trackers have caught it on videotape, picking up a lot of dust and damaging farmland for the most part and that's how -- what we like to see from these storms. 41 reports of -- over 40 reports of tornados there and that funnel cloud certainly vivid. will we see storms today? we are. probably not as intense as that, but it's going to encompass a wider area. this is a big storm that's spiraling around up towards canada, almost all the way down to the gulf of mexico. and some

rob marciano?nbow as well. >> winds at 70 miles an hour yesterday. >> wow! >> that will cool you down. >> that will. >> also cooling you down. i know you guys have seen this but the third time we have shown it. if you're just waking up with us on the west coast. here is the bay area, baby. this is the oracle racing boat. topsy-turvy. the sailors hanging on for dear life there. this is an experimental type of catamaran. 45-footer. the real one that they are going to race in 2013 in america's cup is 72 feet, so almost twice the size of that. they have got more testing to go with that, obviously. >>> not a bad day across san francisco. across the east coast, cool weather across the northeast and steamy across parts of the south. although little pockets of drier air as this front has broken its way across the part of the mid south to alleviate some of the humidity at the very least. but this time of the year, it comes back fairly quickly. the thunderstorms are rolling across parts of iowa and illinois.

. >>> want to bring our rob marciano who's in with the latest when it comes to the bad weather taking place, rob, you have been comparing these nuclear plants, the one that, obviously, a lot of folks are talking about, the fukushima nuclear plant after the earthquake and tsunami in japan, but also, there is a situation we're seeing, the missouri river, two nuclear power plants that sit right near the missouri river and there's some grounds around fort calhoun plant that are already under water. do we think there is any comparison in these two? >> well, there's some similarities. you have water encroaching upon power sources and that's the main reason they've been worrying about these two zones along the missouri in nebraska. we're going to highlight those two areas of concern, the missouri has not yet officially crested and even though it's getting to the crest it's going to remain high for quite some time. that's not the only nuke issue we have. we also have a nuke issue in the way of a forest fire, wildfire, just outside of los alamos in new mexico. we've got some hazardous material

. >> rob marciano, we know exactly where he is. he doesn't go chasing anything unless it's bad weather. rob, what's going on? any of that to chase today. >> yeah. very close to iowa, as a matter of fact. not very close but it check out some of the video from st. louis, last night, any time you see thunderstorms over the gateway, look at that, spectacular stuff or what? of course that thing is all metal so i'm sure it gets pegged with lightning every once in a while. hail and wind as well. if you could switch this board back. back to my source and we'll get cooking here. lightning there. and we've got more in the way of lightning that's going to be happening across the midsection of the country today, from chicago back through st. louis. that's where we're going to see some of this action. severe thunderstorm watch in effect which includes st. louis and parts of northern missouri and through parts of illinois as well. some of these thunderstorms have pretty strong winds with them. they're going to take down power lines at times and w

rob marciano is in piedmont park, in atlanta.its way east. well, it is here. >> reporter: it is. it has been here on and off for a couple of weeks. ten or so days ago, we were talking about, how, be careful out there. the first time you get that excessive heat in june, your body is not used to it. there is a bit of a shock to the system. we haven't cooled down a whole lot since then, especially across the southeast. the wild fire situation, obviously, the hot, dry weather out there is causing issues. quick check on that. we have red flag warnings posted for the same areas as the past couple of days. not a lot of relief in sight. no substantial rains expected until the monsoons set in. look at these record high temperatures, though. as far north as minneapolis, minnesota. 103 degrees. dodge city, kansas, 102 and rochester, minnesota, 101 degrees for a high temperature yesterday. all this heat is moving farther to the east. some of the larger cities on the east coast, including atlanta, detroit, philadelphia, d.c., all have at leas

rob marciano in the extreme weather center for us. has given them a little break in the southwest. >> yeah. another day today, christine, that's good news there. we have fire issues elsewhere across parts of the southeast. this is a nasa imagery showing smoke coming out of the swamp and here's some of the pictures we have here. this is a much smaller fire but it's engulfed already about 4,000 feet of the board walk tourists use to go through there and check out the wild life press teen tough and burning rapidly now and this expected to continue. dry weather here and extreme heat. that's the other deal that these firefighters are dealing with. they're dealing with extreme heat. imagine the kind of critters in that swamp including dangerous snakes and gators and there are a number of obstacles these firefighters have to contend with. we have a red flag watch or warning in effect for the panhandle to jacksonville, doesn't include officially parts of georgia but all that heat helping. tallahassee 103 yesterday, saint simons island 99 degr

rob marciano taking a look at that. close call?e dangerously high and remain high for a long time. might come up a little bit in some spots but the key is especially when you talk about the nuclear power plants it's not going to come up three or four feet. let's talk about what's going on at the fort calhoun nuclear power plant. that was off line briefly because the water was getting so high there. we'll zoom in. along the river. they use the river water for cooling purposes. the reason they were in temporary shutdown mode a few months ago because they were refueling the plant. they decided not to ramp it back up because the water levels were getting so high here. and they're using something that's called an aqua dam, something that we've seen in the mississippi river floods where they take a inflatable tube or bladder and surround it around the areas that they want to protect and they pump water into it. that's what they're using here. see around, this is all electrical work here. that's what they're trying to protect the power th

rob marciano in the extreme weather center this morning. awful rainy in the northeast, rob.will you do about that for the weekend for me? >> we'll try to dry it out for you. good morning, drew, christine. more showers in the forecast for the new york area. actually much of the northeast. this has been the problem. very slow mover, not moving at all, and it's going to continue to create the unsettled mess. but in spots it just came down in buckets yesterday. look at the video out of my yak which saw its fair share of problems. flash flooding through downtown my yak, new york, suburb of new york city, pouring through the streets there. 911 calls, people stranded in their cars, swift water rescues being done across this area. scary moment in spots as this water just rushed through the town in a dangerous fashion. we can expect similar -- well not similar scenes like that, but the potential for that especially now the ground has been so saturated across the northeast, expect more in the way of showers. rough night in knoxville as well. possible tornado touch down there and then

rob marciano tracking it all. how bad could it get? >> it's going to be the worst they've seen.is, kyra, is that they have issues with -- they can control some of this water flow with dams, but those dams can only hold so much. so, now some of that water is being released. the dams are up here. that's where lake reservoir holding a lot of this water. it all rained up in through here and canada sunday through monday, 4 to 7 inches of rainfall. this river flows out of canada into my north. it's the souris river, 41,000 people and mandatory evacuation for 12,000 people. this will happen gradually over the next couple of days. once it goes through minot it flows back into canada. for those who live in minot we're talking about flooding. here's the ununaddition map but the blue is where the swollen river will be. the river typically is just this line. so, we're talking about, you know, a huge chunk of real estate. all of these neighborhoods have substantial amount of homes in there. a lot of people. that's why they've gotten out -- they've asked over 10,000 people to evacuate. when d

let's head to the severe weather center and rob marciano. now? >> for the most part. it's a slow moving system. this time of the year, the jet stream has moved further north and slowed down quite a bit the systems dent move very fast so it's lumbering around slugging its way off towards the north and east. the circulation off the midwest and a good chunk of the country so continue to be unsettled there. the more intense thunderstorms, i believe, across the northeast today tonight. today across the cat skills and finger lakes and moving rapidly. nothing in new york yet but this afternoon, i think it will change as we heat up the atmosphere. seeing showers and storms and decent amount of rain from san antonio to austin you will take it. severe drought in this area. so much needed rain but if you're traveling from houston a ground stop in effect right now, until further notice. probably the next couple of hours. travel probably will be slowed across parts of the northeast because of those thunderstorms later on today. same deal in d.c. and memp

our rob marciano has some tips to make sure you are ready for anything when you're on the go. ♪ ♪ >>l mother nature, but there are some things you can do to minimize the damage to your summer travel plans starting with when you book your flight. >> book a morning flight. if bad weather descends on the airport in the morning and you're delayed for four or five hours you can still get the flight in the early afternoon. >> reporter: your cell phone can also be a great tool. >> make sure that you have the airline's reservation number programmed into your cell phone, that way you can call the 800 number and be at the head of a virtual line instead of rushing up to the gate agent along with 200 other angry passengers. >> you can sign up for arc letters from your airline or websites like flight stats.com to stay ahead of the curve if your flight is cancelled. on occasion, a delay is inevitable. so just like the boy scout, always be prepared. >> pack your carry-on bag smartly. remember you should have toiletries with you. you want to have a book to read and don't forget to recharge your cabl

. >> rob marciano is in the the extreme weather center and rob, all of the smoke, you got reports in the midwest of sort of smoke hanging over counties there that's been drifting that way. >> midwest and to the mountains. everywhere. this is a huge fire across arizona and getting into knnew mexico and the heat not helping things. pretty much everybody in the country, the eastern three quarters is enduring some of these numbers. heat indices expected today near 100 degrees or at it or above it in little rock, st. louis, detroit, chicago, so these are dangerous numbers similar numbers down to the south and east. there's been no relief really for much of this part of the country. critical fire danger again today for eastern arizona where that fire is burning and parts of almost all of new mexico and we're looking for a windy conditions also in this area. we do have an area of thunderstorms that's moving across the great lakes, towards the northern ohio and western pa and western new york. this may become severe as it crosses there and we'll watch that for potentially damaging winds movi

rob marciano is in the extreme weather center for us. good morning, rob. >> good morning.e had storms last night that rolled through parts of the mid-south, over 70-mile-an-hour winds gusting in memphis and heavy rains and another batch of storms rolling across the tennessee valley towards huntsville and nashville this morning and a couple more storms out west. we don't have any really major monster storms out there, but there's pockets of energy spawned these convective outbreaks over the past couple nights and that's what i expect to see throughout the day today. one of those pieces of energy rolling across the new york city and tri-state area, metropolitan area of i-95 towards boston, nothing severe here but rain and thunder and lightning, maybe enough ponding on the roadways to slow your commute down this morning. we could use some of that rain out west. almost a half million acres as the wallow fire stretching into new mexico, the monument fire here and because of the winds yesterday and we'll see similar winds and low levels of humidity today, a number of spot fires

my next guest actually describes it as fukushima in slow motion, but, first, cnn meteorologist rob marciano is giving us a lay of the land and kind of giving us the visual of where these are and how close everything is. >> luckily, we are looking at super slow motion at this point. >> good, good. >> only maha, nebraska. the one to the north we are most concerned with and idle the past several months. now the flood has come, they have decided to keep it idle. nonetheless, they are trying to protect it and done it with aqua dams and determines to do that and one of those failed and when the scare started to come to play all is o away any time soon. cres rt pretty much flat line the next week a, necessarily in pressure alone i g and any more these protectives thenha let's talk about what concerned. extr out the west and smoke the new me. los burned.th and west, let's kind happens at the lab it's 34uahese are hazas this one is too concerned about this. necessy urthest away but t gets to those sites, that's those are the problem fire ites that are on t the lab, the fire right now i lab. >> got y

. >>> a volcano erupting in chile, flights grounded, ash is spewing, rob marciano is talking about thewow. >> last time this thing erupted was 1960. the same year where they had a 9.5 earthquake happen in chile. earlier we had an 8.8, i believe in chile. this may be connected in some way. nonetheless we're getting amazing pictures coming in. in some cases getting pictures of lightning happening. if we have that loaded. show it. nonetheless, we're getting vivid color. you get this much junk basically in the atmosphere and the sun passing through it, it creates amazing colors. we also get a vivid amount of lightning. you get the turbulent upwelling of air flow and junk in the atmosphere. dust, volcanic particles and water vapor, that creates static electricity with the vertical motion. six myles into the atmosphere. that's how you get some of this lightning happening. that's remarkable stuff with this. it is 600 miles or so south of san teeing a go. the problem is, it's erupting and westernly winds are taking it pretty quickly off towards the east. we've seen a tremendous amount of ash f

. >> meteorologist rob marciano is following this for us. what do we think? the weather conditions? >> the winds are relatively light. a big fire. two in new mexico and this one we zoom into it, the one knocking at the doorsteps of the los alamos national laboratory. we spin the map around and looking down towards the south and west where those flames are coming from. the winds will be increasing out of the south as we go through time. this has happened before. i think it was back in 2000, where flames got very close and each took a couple of buildings out of the lab. so we have got to get a handle on this before too long. we have big-time heat and record-breaking low levels of humidity in the cross parts of the southwest and the winds are going to be picking up. today, we don't have a fire weather watch but low visibility with the smoke being blown from the south and the south and southwest winds will pick up from time to time here. poor air quality as well. are we going to get any help from rain? we are into the monsoon and get showers this timt of the year, but haven't seen a who

let's head over to the weather center and rob marciano.se temperatures, it is just crazy. >> a couple weeks ago we were complaining about how cold it was. if you lost a.c., somebody who is elderly or have health problems, humidity is not included in these records. richmond, virginia almost tapping 100 yesterday and baltimore, maryland, seeing 9 7 degrees and washington, d.c. seeing 94 degrees. similar numbers in other areas. we don't expect this to let up, at least across the southeastern third of the country. 96 today in atlanta. looking ahead toward tomorrow, the heat continues across the southeast. we may see somewhat cooling from chicago up towards new york over the next couple days. then the heat builds back into chicago as we get towards -- as we get towards friday. watching that, also watching this. it ask t it is the first day of hurricane season. we have a disturbance that will be rolling into florida here. national hurricane center put the orange box on this. watch for development. it won't develop much furtherer than this. flori

rob marciano is in the cnn severe weather center.he situation with all of the wind in arizona. this say tough situation for this guy. >> it is dry and hot. that's a combination you don't want. obviously they get that this time of year. the fire itself is ranking third in the all-time list in arizona. zero containment. burned over 233,000 acres of land. fairly rugged terrain in this area. with that, comes obviously added headache, got over 2500 personnel in this area. some of these are mountains, especially off to the west can go up to 11,000 feet. obviously got steep dropoffs. there's alpine, one. communities that sits under the gun here. here's an interesting satellite. taken yesterday. you can see the plume of moisture headed this way. this is the smoke getting over into new mexico. now, the eastern edge of this thing is just a few miles, really, from the eastern edge of new mexico. and we do expect to see winds out of the southwest. so out of this area. over 30 miles an hour, with humidity levels that will be fi5 to 15%. we don't

. >> our own rob marciano is here with more new, i guess there's good news that there's calmer windshe air settles. when the wind is blowing, it blows that smoke out of there. but also fans the fire. this is the area we're talking about well east of phoenix, as well as weather there, it's pretty still right now. as far as how still it is less than 10 miles an hour. that's good news for the folks fighting the fire, want to give you an idea where the fire is, and how much it's progressed in the last 10 to 11 days. it started out as a pretty small fire then we had these strong southwest winds. that's what brought the fire to new mexico border. you see here the last couple dace, we're looking pretty much it's beginning to halt because the winds die down. today is the day we'll really see progress. although it's a massive fire with 5% containment. here's the forecast, today is the only day that we've seen noncritical conditions, calm winds. tomorrow we will get windier condition, tart to see more in the southwesterly flow. sunday, monday, we'll see windier conditions again. we're noun in

want to bring in our own rob marcia marciano. it seems strange to see that scene in massachusetts. it's pretty rare, yes? why did this happen? >> a number of ingredients came together for it to happen. we had heat, humidity, and a little wind shear, just enough to make that happen. if we could throw up the maps and show you what the classic setup is and why tornado alley gets so much of its action because of heat and humidity, also because of dry air that comes in from not only mexico, but from canada and cold air. that's why we call tornado alley tornado alley. those ingredients come together in april, may, and especially parts of june. what we've seen is those ingredients come together, not only in the northeast, but they even had tornadoes across parts of california yesterday. obviously, the northeast storms are the ones that did the most damage in through western massachusetts. the last time they had a tornado of any size was back in '08. last time they had a big tornado, an ef-4, was in '95. this one was an ef-2, maybe an ef-

. >>> let's check in with rob marciano in our extreme weather center. >> winds are going to pick up across the southwest. so red flag warnings have been posted in the critical fire danger for the area that for the past couple of days, the winds have been laid down a little bit. that helped them a little bit. but today the winds cranked back up and even though we're officially getting into the monsoon season, we don't see much in the way of that happening any time soon. the heat is still on across not only the southwest, but the southeast. look at the numbers, 105, i believe it's an all-time record for tallahassee. austin, texas, 104. and birmingham, alabama, seeing 98 degrees. and miami, 96 degrees plus humidity. is this is what happened last night across the southeast. look at the storms rumbling through atlanta. we had 200,000 people without power. the number has been trimmed to 40,000. it was a rough go for sure. actually check out this lightning video from an atlanta tower camera. firsthand, i was at the braves game last night, they had two rain delays and it was -- whoo, it was a roug
