The morning will feature the heavy rain spinning through the East Coast from FL to ME, but the cold air trapped in NE will get the snow and sleet rocking. There are winter storm warnings in Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont for the wintry mix, and delays will be long at the NYC metro airports because of the heavy rain and wind. Philly, D.C. and Boston will get the problems too.

A quick moving clipper is firing some snow into the Upper Midwest this morning, and as it closes in on Chicago they will see about 1-2” of snow overnight.

All the storms over the Pacific Northwest has been replaced by a massive high pressure region today. That will make the Santa Ana winds increase in Southern California. It's a high fire danger day around the Los Angeles county mountains because of the 70 mph winds and dry conditions, so heads up.

Have a great weekend!

Ahead of the warm stuff, the rain is falling into cold air across the MW. Freezing rain and sleet in OH had some kids delayed to school, and the freezing stuff is moving through PA into the NE. Winter storm warnings are up for parts of VT, NH and ME tonight through Friday for snow and ice. 3-6” of the stuff should pile up by Friday afternoon.

It’ll be all rain into the Mid Atlantic up the NE Coast. So expect delays in NYC, and Philly to ATL will be affected.

The NW is starting to dry out a bit after heavy morning rain from north CA to WA, and even the mountain snow is a little softer. I’ll have the radar for you.

Later!

Texas is getting the hammer today. A tightly wound storm is bowling through the Lone Star State this morning with a warm front extending out to the Gulf Coast. Heavy rain with frequent lightning has been falling since last night, and there was a tornado watch for San Antonio to Houston up to Waco earlier this morning. The rain has caused some flash flooding in those areas, and the whole rain shield is moving to Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana and Missouri today. Travel delays will start to mount in Dallas and Houston today with all the rough weather, so heads up.

The rest of the country seems quiet until you get to the Pacific Northwest. More morning snow is falling over the Washington/Oregon Cascades, and rain is pelting the coast from northern California to Washington. It’ll be a breezy day once again up there too.

Those are the two hot spots in the Lower 48 to look out for, see ya out there!

Mitt Romney went on the attack in last night's debate, accusing Newt Gingrich of "influence peddling."
Gingrich insists his work with Freddie Mac had nothing to do with lobbying.

This is so rotten:
One of the 49ers is getting death threats over his playoff performance.
Come on!

Fifty Five thousand women who have served in the military are homeless, according to the Department of Veterans Affairs. It's a statistic you don't hear too much about... but it's one that's growing. In fact women are 4 times more likely than male veterans to end up homeless.

One woman is working to change that AND start lowering that number one woman at at time... and she is our "Breakthrough Woman."

Barbara Marshall served her country as a Chaplain in the Navy. She no longer wears that uniform, but she is still serving her country and supporting other female military members at Steps N Stages' Jubilee House. A home for homeless, female, military veterans and their children.

If you know a woman who is breaking through barriers to improve her community, we want to tell her story too... visit the "Breakthrough Woman" assignment page at iReport.com and tell us about her.
