Well, this morning a winter storm system is triggering heavy snow in the southwest, southern rockies, and the plans. Up to 8 inches is expected in some areas as the system heads east. Winter weather advisories and warnings are posted in new mexico, texas, oklahoma, and colorado. Rain and thunderstorms are expected over parts of the gulf coast. It started snowing in the denver area yesterday. The snow is expected to have cleared out by this morning, but temperatures will drop to near 10 degrees make for slick roads and treacherous travel. Eric fisher of our boston affiliate wbz is tracking the storm. Wintry weather in our southern plain this morning. Picking up some significant snowfall here. Its been falling during the overnight, continuing as it tracks its way east, even snow potential in and around dallas especially the Northwest Side of the city and that could slow down the commute. That could slow down the commute. But many of these spots saying 3 to 6 inches of snow. The storm is the one to watch in the next few days. Heavy rain around houston moving toward the gulf coast. Friday across the Southern States including birmingham atlanta, and charleston and then the storm is going to start to climb up the east coast. Rain totals could see a couple inches in a few spots especially in around houston, austin, hill country, and san antonio, and then a strip of rain from jackson along the i20 corridor. Then as it starts to work its way up the east coast, a rapid deepening of the storm system. This could bring quite a few things into play late friday night into saturday. A lot of things to watch. I think this one close to the coast is likely. That brings snow potential to places like d. C. Philly, new york, and boston cities that have not been seen yet. Im eric fisher, cbs news. Snow fell in new jersey late yesterday. A weather winter advisory for coastal new jersey is in effect for this morning. No heavy accumulations are expected though. And this morning fire officials in new jersey are trying to figure out what caused a massive fire in an apartment complex. The fourstory building is located in edgewater across from new york city. Huge flames and smoke shot into the sky. This morning the fire is contained, but about 400 residents were forced to evacuate. Only minor injuries are reported. But the size of the fire is shocking even to veteran firefighters. This is probably the biggest one ive ever seen. There are more than 400 apartments in the complex. A local state of emergency has been declared edd and schools in edge edgewate will be closed today. 14 years ago another fire destroyed a condominium that was under construction. Two bodies have been recovered from the remains of a maryland mansion that burned monday. Four people are still missing. The fire left the 16,000squarefoothome in ruins. Its still unclear what caused the fire, but there are no immediate signs of foul play. Well the Justice Department completed its investigation into the shooting death of Michael Brown. The government was deciding whether officer Darren Wilson who shot Michael Brown violated his civil rights. Susan mcginnis is in washington. Good morning, susan. Good morning, annemarie. Theres no official announcement yet, but Law Enforcement sources tell cbs news theres no evidence thats been found that officer wilson violated any civil rights laws that he broke any of those laws. Now, this would effectively close the Michael Brown case, but another investigation is still open. Law enforcement sources tell cbs news the fbi completed its investigation into the shooting death of Michael Brown by Police Officer Darren Wilson. Wilson shot and killed the unarmed teen during an altercation last august. A missouri grand jury refused to indict him. After completing interviews with more than 200 people and review reviewing surveillance tapes and cellphone videos, the fbi finds wilson did not violate browns civil rights. There were accusations that the officer had used violent unnecessary use of force. Certainly we can understand the father who fears his son cant walk home without duress. Prosecutors are trying to determine if the largely White Ferguson force has demonstrated a history of racial profiling and discrimination. In his state of the state address, missouri governor jay nixon spoke of the need for reform. We must recruit, train, and certify professional Law Enforcement that reflects the diversity of the community it serves. Authorities again released video of more than 100 people wanted for looting at a local market during the height of the violence. Now, nothing so far from Michael Browns family about this, and benjamin crump, the familys attorney, says hes not commenting until the Justice Department makes its official announcement. Annemarie .

Heres a look at todays foreca heres a look at todays forecast in some cities around the country. New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick meets with the media today for the First Time Since new allegations of cheating emerged. The nfl is investigating whether his team deliberately took air out of the footballs in sundays afc championship game victory. The controversy has put a cloud over the patriots latest onfield achievement, making it to the sixth super bowl in 14 years. The nfl says the investigation into whether the patriots legally doctored footballs will take morea few more days. The allegations picked up steam late tuesday night when espn reported 11 of the 12 balls used by the patriots were lighter than league rules allow. The nfl mandates game balls have between 12 1 2 and 13 1 2 pounds per square inch. The patriots footballs were reportedly two pounds low, making them easier to grasp. You want to make the pass as easy as possible and that all comes down to grip. When the ball is decreasing theres less wobble and the easier it is for receivers to catch. Its something tom brady admitted he liked during a 2011 interview. When gronk does it, he spikes the ball and deflates the ball and i like that because i like the deflated ball. It wouldnt be the first time the patriots and Bill Belichick ran afoul of nfls rules. In 2007 belichick was fined a half Million Dollars and the team was docked draft picks. If it happened to really any other team in the playoffs, you would give them the benefit of the doubt. You might think this wasnt that suspicious, maybe it was done by accident. But now 11 of 12 balls considering the team and characters involved, its certainly raising a lot of flags. On wednesday super bowl opponents the ss the Seattle Seahawks were asked about the controversy. It didnt have much effect on the game. If it did, whatever. If its against the rules, its against the rules. But its not going have any effect on this game. Nobodys going to get suspended. Nothings going to happen. Theyre going to play this game. Whatever they did, the risk reward was greater. If theres any whereon doing the penalty starts with a 25,000 fine. Thats the minimum. It could also include docking draft pics and suspensions. But one online book maker has it as a long shot that belichick will be suspended for the super bowl. When we return, dog debut.

Delegation in decades. Todays meetings are expected to expand on wednesdays talks which focused on cuban migration. Meanwhile Homeland Security says additional coast guard cutters have been deployed to the florida straits to halt Cuban Migrants from reaching United States by boat. In cuba more than ever theyre wanting to come to america. Manuel bojorquez reports from havana. Reporter inside their tiny living room, nancy and alexi showed us their big secret. The boat they are building to flee cuba. How long have you been working on this . Two months. Nancy told us work is slow. Parts are bought on the black market and some of the wood comes from a coffin maker. When its complete, nancy, her husband, and her four children will attempt to cross more than 90 miles to the u. S. And a new future. Nancy says her family has been marked ever since she joined a dissident group in 2008. What do we do, she says . How do i support my children . My daughter cant work, my son cant work either because this country doesnt have jobs for them. Like many others, they are also driven by fear that the favored status for cuban refugees that lets anyone stay who reaches u. S. Shores may disappear as the two nations reestablish relations. More than 370,000 cubans have left for the u. S. Over the past decade. Last month the u. S. Coast guard captured or turned away 481 cubans, nearly twice as many as the year before. Both nations have worked to ensure legal migration with the u. S. Issuing at least 20,000 visas to cubans per year. But nancy says her family has been turned down. This will be their third attempt to escape by boat. Youll keep trying. And thats why at wednesdays migration talks the cuban government once again blamed u. S. Policy for encouraging people to leave the island illegally, but a u. S. Official in havana said washington remains committed to its current approach. Manuel bojorquez, cbs news, havana, cuba.
