Since ohio doesnt recognize the samesex marriage they refused to put his name on the death certificate. But his case, not an isolated incident. Even though it is recognized in pennsylvania new jersey and delaware couples could still find themselves in legal limbo. Nbc 10s Deanna Durante explains. Very frustrating. And i know a lot of people dont understand, were not hurting anyone. Theyve been a couple for 16 years back when nbc 10 first met them, they said they didnt want to travel to any other state for a quote legal marriage. The couple married after being granted a license in montgomery county, one of the first places in the state despite a samesex marriage ban where the licenses were being made available. Last month, they overturned the ban on samesex marriages and todays arguments in front of the Supreme Court will affect the last four states refusing to recognize those weddings. Im hoping the Supreme Court will acknowledge that the marriage is valid in all 50 states.

And today, a cruel encore from mother nature. A heavy storm fell on nepal which made it more difficult for survivors of this weekends deadly earthquake. The number of dead has climbed to 4,600. And nearly 1. 5 million are in desperate need of food. A dilemma about whether its safe to go back home for citizens of nepal whose visas are expireing in the u. S. Her mother was due to go back to nepal on may 3rd but they worried shed be stranded somewhere with much of the nation in ruins. An immigration attorney helped her get a temporary extension for two to three months. The road between her home and the airport is bad. Extend the visa for at least a month, at least see what happens. Shes also reaching out to congressmen to see if nepal can be added to a list of countries with temporarily protected status. That would allow reszidents to stay in the u. S. Longer until its safe to return home in the earthquake zone. Yeah, we had a beautiful looking day today. A lot of sunshine. That helped push the temperature up. And weve got another sunny day coming tomorrow. Temperatures into the 70s. Couple of places got there today. A lot more will get into there tomorrow. And, a possible noreaster weve been talking about, the latest on that. Look at that beautiful blue sky there. But the wind, its still blowing. 16mileanhour sustained wind. The humidity is very low out there right now. Now, weve seen the temperature go up 71 in philadelphia today with 60 yesterday. 74 tomorrow, 68 thursday 58 on friday. And then it starts going back up. So that friday thing is just temporary. Were in the upper 60s to near 70 degrees right now, theyve got a sea breeze that came in today. You can see the northwest flow. The sustained winds, 10 to 20 miles an hour, still, they will be diminishing somewhat tonight. If youre concerned about the wind for sunday for the broad street run different story. This is right out of the computer. Calm at 8 00 a. M. , 2 miles an hour at 9 00 and 3 at 10 00. Nice comfortable temperatures as well. Doesnt get much better than that. Now, you can see some of these fairweather clouds coming down from the north, no precipitation with that. But farther to the south we do have some moisture building up near the gulf of mexico. Thats going to lead to this noreaster. The noreaster is going to develop. Its going to be certainly affecting North Carolina. And look at that wind coming all out of the east. That would be bad news around here if it came up close to us because weve got a full moon coming on saturday. Make the tides even higher. And there could be a little bit of rain. This computer model shows it way on the north side of that. Mainly delaware and south jersey. But most of the computer models most of the evidence would suggest its going to stay well south of this area because its a blocking pattern up there in the north atlantic preventing it from coming straight up the coast like they sometimes do. Theres friday afternoon, still the chance of a little bit of light rain. Again, mainly southern delaware and in extreme south jersey. And then the northwest winds come in after that. For tonight, its going to be beautiful evening. Mostly clear, less wind eventually. 50 in philadelphia 43 north and west during the day tomorrow another sunny day, warm, and not as windy, either. Mid70s for many of us across the area. Well be a sea breeze cooling off the beaches, though. On thursday just a chance of a couple of showers. And this chance is generally a little to the west like redding and even chester county. Because of an upper air system. Friday that rain is the chance for from the noreaster. Generally from the south. That east wind keeps the temperature down. Then over the weekend, it warms up, the sun comes back out and by early next week, we could be back near 80.
