Its not just seasonal or that kind of thing? is there a cycle going on now? a trend going on? how would you describe it if there is one? >> the jury, so to speak, is out a little bit in terms of the climate relationship to tornadoes. my own thinking is that as the atmosphere is slowly warming, that has allowed in the cool months warm air to get farther north. weve seen over the past decade or so a lot of tornadoes at more northern latitudes in the middle of the winter months that in the past we ...

Atmosphere is slo warming, that has allowed in the cool months warm air to get farther north. weve seen over the past decade or so a lot of tornadoes at more northern latitudes in the middle of the winter months that in the past we were having snowstorms. so that is my own take that we can have tornadoes in bigger parts of the country year-round. theres been some computer model research that suggests that for the core of the spring and summer that the kind of wind shear, the strong winds aloft, ...

Shards and pile up. maria, you knew all about that, didnt you? >> that is pretty cool stuff. i have to say growing up in florida, we did not see much of that happening on the shores or the lakes. but we have more warm temperatures, so we could continue to see ice melting across parts of the great lakes today. temperatures will be very warm. in the 80s in places like chicago, places like kansas city and minneapolis, 72 degrees. a very warm day out there. enjoy it while you have it because take a ...

Model, could see one to two feet of snow coming up wednesday into thursday. it is just a computer model, but of course well keep an eye on it and keep you posted. >>steve: cant shake this darned winter. >>gretchen: it has been especially brutal in minnesota this year. supporters say it will create thousands of jobs and reduce dependence on foreign oil but environmental concerns still keeping the keystone pipeline from forging ahead. >>steve: while the pressure heats up on president obama to ma...

Rain for texas up towards tennessee. that will continue to move eastward and unfortunately we will see more rein in the forecast for the regions i just talked about. so as we get into today, that cold front is going to move eastward bringing anywhere from 1 to 2 inches towards the mississippi river valley and in towards the mid atlantic region and then as we head into wednesday, shannon, looks like another system is going to bring not only rain but snow over parts of the northern and central pla...

A lot of the rivers and streams cannot take this much rain. we have had flood advisories in place for half a dozen states right now. state of emergencies in effect for six states. more rain on the way. this kind of thing happens each spring but with five, six or seven inches of rain that exacerbates a dangerous situation. more rain in the forecast, unfortunately but not the deluge early, from earlier in the week. but it is more salt not wound. we have another storm bringing snow, several inches ...

Getting the first cup of coffee. we do have showers and storms up from the upper midwest and down to the gulf coast. not of a tornado threat today more gusty winds and hail, and an isolated tornado is not out of the question. let me walk you where we will see the rains. here is saturday, the computer model right on target, and then as we head through this morning, 1:00, you will see where we will see a benign and broken up. and as the front moves through it wont be a total washout, even for east...

6-12 inches of snow. tay tuned for that. here is your forecast snowfall. one of the computer models we are watching. 6-12 inches in the lighter shade of blue. could see higher amounts where we see the darker shade of blue but kansas city and st. louis 6-12-inches for you. across the ohio river valley in towards cincinnati and look at the latest computer model. could see certainly 6, 12, 18-inches in the higher elevations of the virginias. then up towards d.c., 6-12. delmarva peninsula maybe high...

Gradient and its going to retrograde this storm back in towards the coast. so, rain mixing with snow heavy times wind gusts 55 miles per hour. heavy snow wednesday to thursday for the d.c. area all the way up towards the new england area. coastal flooding and erosion in those areas that were hit hard by hurricane sandy in october, shep. >> shepard: how much snow is stacking up in the midwest? >> lets take a look at it right now. here is one of our aggressive computer models. im getting snow tota...

Wide swathe of 3 to 6 inches with some areas getting 6 to 12. again minneapolis to chicago down towards columbus. and then as we head into wednesday, again, the bulls eye we think west of d.c., this computer model saying 6 to 12 around the d.c. area. but across the mountains of west virginia into virginia. 18 to 24 inches possible. this model saying 12 to 18. but i have seen higher totals within the last model run. something to watch certainly carefully. d.c. hasnt gotten a snow event all season...
