wilmington, vermont, 38. albany, new hartford, 36-mile-per-hour wind gusts. winds of the severe weather are over but this is just gradient wind. low pressure here in the northeast, incoming high pressure, meaning better weather is on the horizon. as these two are quite close, we have this pressure grade yept. here's what we're going to see in terms of very strong winds. here on the outer end of long island, 60-mile-per-hour wind gusts today. so the winds, of course, the biggest story there. dry skies for the most part. look at wilmington, washington, d.c., west wind gusting to 44 miles per hour at this very moment. 25-mile-per-hour gusts in pittsburgh. new york city gusting right now to 40. so some very voracious winds. there's the story with the winds in the southeast. the other story, temperatures have dropped 15 to 20 degrees in the last 48 hours, but even with that we're right at seasonable levels so temperatures cooling down, the severe weather threat is over but the winds a big threat throughout much of today, into tonight and they'll abate for tomorrow

ytd in wilmington. [applause] [applause] >> thank you. [applause] governor welcome to the joint session. we look forward to your address. lieutenant governor, and prose tim de luca members of the 146 general assembly, other elected officials, members of the judiciary, members of the cabinet, our employees, carla and the people of delaware. in my previous reports on the state of the state i spoke to you of turbulent winter blizzards and these images captured the moment as we fought through the worst economic downturn since the great depression. this economic storm pose particular challenges where delaware and issues upon which we have depended for decades like financial services and automotive manufacturing but it made landfall in almost every corner of our nation and while delaware was not alone in facing this storm, the way we responded was unique. the politics of lehman division, the rhetoric of distrust in the partisan warfare witnessed elsewhere never found a home in our state. instead we pulled together and we prepared for the future

wilmington is farther south than earlier predictions. you see some echoes going up to near the pennsylvania line. the air is dry. anything try to come not of the clouds right now is evaporating before it hits the ground. that should be the case for most of tonight. this moves offshore overnight. it takes the moisture with it. the heaviest snow will be down in virginia. high pressure comes in tomorrow. this is presidents day in the mississippi valley. a series of storms al west will be coming across the country in the coming week. things will be a little unsettled. there may be rain or snow south of us. northwest wind at 7 to 12. 29 to 35 for the overnight low. mostly sunny skies tomorrow, a little on the breezy skies. the forecast shows how close that comes to us. we dry out overnight. tomorrow looks really good. the significance snow accumulations are well to the south. near 50 tomorrow come into the 50's tuesday through thursday. -- near 50 tomorrow, into the 50's tuesday through thursday. the chances of rain go up freddie into early s

today that wind shift out of the northwest, 48 york, 50 wilmington and the state capitol checking in53. satellite, radar, showing basically not a thing this is a quiet weather day that we kind of like in the storm center. we get to relax before yet another rain maker. this is set to arrive, beginning tomorrow afternoon i think the best chance for a significant rain will come in later tomorrow evening. as we look at that thursday rain maker, the big question mark here is how much of the moisture will pass south of us and how much will come up into maryland and it's the same question for sunday. high press ire in control for tonight will keep us high and dry and very dry air at the surface as well. maybe tonight one of those nights you run the humidifier. we look at the future trend, from tonight in to the morning clouding up. chances for rain around 1:00 o'clock -- 2:00. a lot of moisture, down through virginia. some of it still could end up passing over baltimore, over southern and central maryland. at this point looks like a lot will be just south of us, maybe showers and we are don

somewhat mildler monday and then a frigid weekend we had. 36 now, 40dc, 37 easton and we have 36 in wilmington delaware. across the state clouds rolling in. still dry, other than perhaps a couple of light snow showers out toward deep creek. that's the opening round. with a question as we track this next mainline of precipitation, will this be a heart breaker for valentine's? not so much. upper 40s, yes the chance for hit and miss showers through the day. keep the umbrella handy. we will talk more about the impact and look to the rest of the week coming up. >> tonight baltimore -- will throw a few punches hoping to make u spokane washington in the trials. we have been following this them for months and we will let you know. >> steven briere robbed last week while in the caribbean on vacation. a man with a machete surprised him. he got away with about a thousand dollars this cash. nobody was hurt. >> we are learning more about the death of whitney houston. there were prescription drugs in the hotel room but they aren't say figure it had anything to do with the death. fans have been leaving flowe

the fleet that was going to attack fort fisher in north carolina which guarded the entrance to wilmington which was now the last blockade-running port. but his health had broken down over his hard service for the previous 2 1/2, 3 years. and so he asked to take a leave of absence. and instead secretary of the navy wells put david dickson porter in command of the fleet that attacked fort fisher. but his first choice for that was farragut. and farragut's health hadn't broken down he would have been in command of that attack, too. >> a couple of more calls for james mcpherson. here's joe in roncomcoma, new york. jo, go ahead with your thoughts. >> dr. mcpherson, if city of new orleans was so important to the con fed as circumstances why wasn't there an attempt to recapture it? >> the confederates did plan several times to attack and recapture new orleans. but the union had a fairly large army there. it was called the army of the gulf. first under benjamin butler. but then from december 1862 onward under nathaniel p. banks, who actually took command of that army in the campaign that captured

we've got tulsa, wilmington and all of these communities become targets for white mobs because white supremacy says african-americans -- that no black prn can do any better than the poorest white person. that's right. this goes on. so our reality in terms of political and whatever is a little different. the reason i went to holly springs as a civil rights worker is because it was 76% black. if we can register a few people to vote without getting them killed we shall can elect a mayor and city council member. by the time barack obama gets elected in 2008 i said there were 19 million african-americans registered to boat, there was thousands of school board members and these people helped to provide some kind of defense against the terror, the tyranny, the violence of people who not only operated under the color of law but they also formed mobs to come burn your house down at night. they can't do that if the sheriff is not supporting them and if the prosecutor is not going to support them, if they're going to go to jail and they may end up in one of these jails. so for the african-ameri

yorktown, the british army still occupied new york, savannah, georgia, charleston, south carolina, wilmington, north carolina, and a good portion of maine. and the navy while it had been defeated at the battle of the capes during the yorktown campaign, the navy was still supreme. their navy was still mistress of the ocean. the british had hardly been beaten. no one understood this better than the commander in chief himself, general washington. he was fearful that the news and victory at yorktown would, in fact, diminish the american effort. shortly after the battle he wrote to governor william nelson, the governor of virginia. he told governor nelson, quote, instead of exciting our exertions, the victory at yorktown will produce such a relaxation in the prosecution of the war as will prolong the calamities of it. he then wrote a few days later to general nathaniel green, the american commander in the south. he told general green, my greatest fear is that congress may think our work closed and will fall into a state of languor and relaxation. lang following that washington made a brief visit h

the main area of low pressure for wilmington, north carolina.ight rain possible by late this afternoon, but i think the accumulation stays south of the washington area, likely in the southern parts of the shenandoah valley. here's chuck's chances now. 60% chance of just flakes, 30% chance of about an inch. this is in the washington area. and only a 10% chance of getting more than an inch of snow. 4 inches or more likely, though, once you go south of charlottesville, down to southwestern virginia, so keep that in mind if you're traveling today. i-81 would not be a preferred method of travel. i-95 is a lot easier. 46 today. the snowman we're thinking of possibly making will barely be bigger than your coffee cup and he'll be gone by lunchtime tomorrow. >> okay. >> sorry for snow lovers. >> all right, thank you, chuck. >> okay. >>> in the news this morning, prince george's county police are investigating multiple shootings. police say the shootings stemmed from an argument between the suspect and one of the victims. the shooting happened around 12:3

when he stood for re-election in 1908, there was a very violent race riot in wilmington, north carolinan the coates in his district. eleven african-american men were killed, 25 were wounded. in congress white, despite serving under a republican majority, had his legislative initiatives constantly rebuffed. one of the big bills that he tried to bring to the floor was an anti-lynching bill. and just weeks before he announced his retirement from the house, president william mckinley refused to pledge aid for that anti-lynching legislation. white, in frustration, came to the house floor and delivered a speech in which he said this, mr. chairman, is perhaps the negro's temporary farewell to the american congress, but let me say phoenix-like he will rise up and come again someday. during the 28-year absence of african-americans from congress, civil rights legislation for african-americans in both the south and the north was all but ignored. washington was a segregated city, the federal government was segregated by custom, if not by statute. there were a few white members of congress who carri
