Lets see what they decided. Fox news says the Democratic Caucus is still too close to call. Both Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders each received 50 vote. For the republicans, donald trump is no longer the front runner. Ted cruz won the caucus with 28 percent of the vote. Trump gained 24 percent and florida senator marco rubio was a close third with 23 percent of the support. The results have already led two candidates to drop from the race. Both democrat Martin Omalley and republican Mike Huckabee have quit the campaign. Scarolin shively has more from des moines. 00 13 20 29 42 491 00 1 071;13the Iowa Caucuses deliver some big surprises for both the democrats and the republicans. Race is now down to just Hillary Clinton and senator Bernie Sanders. After Martin Omalley suspended his president ial campaign. Clinton says i am excited about really getting into the debate with senator sanders about the best way forward to fight for us and america. Clinton was expecting a big win in iowa. And, while it was too close to call last night. Sanders is claiming victory for having such a tight race. Sanders says as i think about what happened tonight, i think the people of iowa have sent a very profound message, to the political establishment. For the republicans after donald trump led the months. Texas senator ted cruz scored a surprise victory. Cruz says iowa has sent notice that the republican nominee and the next president of the United States will not be chosen by the media. It was an upset for trump who was hoping for an iowa win. Have been much of a shock after he skipped out on last weeks moines. Trump says we get the republican nomination and we will go on to hillary or bernie. Now with fewer they move on to new hampshire. With the primary just a week in des moines, caroline shively, fox news newsshively, fox caroline punxsutawney, pennsylvania was the place to be this morning as thousands gathered to get a glimpse of Punxsutawney Phil in celebration of groundhog day. Not too long ago, we learned that phil did not see his shadow for the First Time Since 2012. That means spring may come early for us this year. However, as meteorologist Taylor KanostPunsutawney Phil isnt nearly as might think. Thats right. You would think with all of the fanfare surrounding groundhog day that there would be something to phils forecating skills. It since this tradition began back in 1887, phil has seen his shadow 102 times and has not seen his shadow only 17 times. That means we would usually expect Winter Weather to extend well into the month of march. In reality, the split between an extended winter and an early spring is close to 50 50. So lets look at how phils predictions compare to virginias weather in february and march. Determining if the weather is winterlike or not is kind of subjective, but for the sake of argument lets say the threshold for Winter Weather in virginia is around 40 degrees. Since records have been kept, phil has correctly forecast virginias weather 55 times while guessing incorrectly 61 times. That means phil is only accurate 47 percent of the time. That percentage will put you in the hall of fame in baseball, but in regards to forecasting the weather, that is not very good. To phils credit, he has weeks of winter for virginia the past two years. Historically speaking though, you have a better chance of guessing correctly with a coin flip than following phils lead. Reporting live in the studio, Taylor Kanost wfxr news. High pressure wedges southward today into tonight. A strong coldfront will arrive on wednesday bringing widespread rain.

I sound like porky the pig right now excuse me please give yourself extra time and slow down out on the roads and keep those low beams on and leave plenty of space between you and the car in front of you. Officially visibility over a mile in blacksburg. But looking at that shot, i say however that is just kind of a spot with the observation and certainly parts of blacksburg and they fall quite a bit thicker than that. The same story into roanoke and look at witville and down to new river valley and up towards hot springs as well. Slightly reduced towards lexington and visibility clearing as we go throughout the Morning Hours. And slowly improving visibility for us. So, again, going to need plenty of time to go out on the roads this morning and heading on into the afternoon. See that visibility come back down as we start to pick up with the rain shower action. The warm fronts lifting through the region and right now the patchy dense fog as well as some patchy drizzle out there. The drizzle not showing up on the radar. The droplets are too fine for that radar beam to pick up on, but there is some there with the winds out of the east for us as we go through Morning Hours and as that warm front lifts up and through, though, the southwest and that will help to usher in milder air for moisture. And then see showers brought down to the south just crossing the corner of south carolina, heading into North Carolina. Notice the direction of travel heading up to the north and east with those. Thats because theyre back behind the warm front. Once that warm front lifts up and over and pushing up over that shower action and the right now. For the most part during the day today, well be dealing with that easterly wind with the area of High Pressure to the north. Remember, clockwise flow in the area of High Pressure so the winds coming out of the east, thats our wedge that we always talk about. The High Pressure being wedged up against the eastern face of the mountains. So as we break down that wedge in the warm front that lifts up and over as we go throughout the day and the winds shift more down to the southwest. Temperatures tend to go up as we go through the overnight tonight and on into tomorrow. Take a look at the future cast as we go throughout the morning. There it goes. See the winds out of the east and we speak now this morning. Around and come out of the southwest as we go through the evening. And overnight theyll really start to pick up out in advance of this cold front and, boy, that is a potent cold front going to make the way into the region as we head on through tomorrow. Could be thunder as we make it on with heavy rain and things clear up in the back half of that as we head on through second half of the week. Temperatures in the 30s to near 40s and 50 in Roanoke Valley and the patchy drizzle through the afternoon and the same story into Central Virginia. Temperatures in the upper 40s to near 50. Thats the case for pretty much everybody and a couple of degrees either side of that 50 degree mark and into the new river valley warmer in spots and theyll be dealing with the rain first as it makes its way along the warm front from southwest to northeast. Your 7day forecast, well, with that warmer air streaming in temperatures into the 60s tomorrow. Quickly, though, and then dropping back down into the 40s for the rest of the week. With us as we go right on through the weekend. Ill just hang on to that 62 and keep it in my heart. Put it in the bank. I dont know. Thats your opinion. Id rather take 62 and rainy any day, honey.

The president ial campaign that has brought many surprises delivered a few more monday night in the Iowa Caucuses. Republican ted cruz scored an unexpected win. Over donald trump, who came in second. Marco rubio also outperformed the polls, coming in a close third. , but, democrats are still counting votes in a remarkable finish to the race. A razor thin margin separates sanders. Doug luzader has more. 0020 33 39 501 02 1;031 071 201 33ted cruz defied recent polls and won with a pretty clear margin yesterday. In fact, donald trump found himself fighting for second place because of a last minute rise from marco rubio. For democrats, meantime, the narrowest of margins between Bernie Sanders and Hilary Clinton in a state that clinton once dominated. Down to the wire. The clinton team had to nix elaborate victory plans that would have included speeches from bill and Chelsea Clinton with only the candidate herself making a vague statement about the results. Clinton says. I stand here tonight breathing a big sigh of relief, thank you iowa sigh of relief, breathing a big tonight breathing a big sigh of relief, thank you iowa a sigh of relief maybe, but, clinton will leave iowa with almost the same number of delegates as Bernie Sanders, who felt that his showing last night was a win no matter what the final count is. Sanders says. I think the people of iowa have sent a very profound message to the political establishment and oh by the way the media establishment. Cruz says. Tonight, is victory for the grassroots. For republican ted cruz, the win was clear cut. A fox poll shows that a stunning sixty two percent of gop caucus goers consider themselves evangelicals and, a third of them backed cruz. Rubio says. Well see you soon again and new hampshire, we will see you in the morning. The same poll shows that late deciders broke heavily for marco rubio, who beat expectations, and that left donald trump fighting for second place, ending his plans to run the electoral table. Trump says. We finished second and, i want to tell you something. Im just honored. And, iowa also claimed two casualties. Republican Mike Huckabee who won the caucuses here eight years ago dropped out of the race last night. So did democrat reducing the to just two. And about those candidates.

Weve been keeping an eye on this camera out of blacksburg this morning and seen it come and go as far as the fog is concerned. Its lifted just a little bit for us. At least you can see out to the end of the parking lot now. But do expect some pretty Poor Visibility up and down 81. Its not been the greatest day for traveling for us. You can see the visibility down with whitville and down to zero. It has improved a little in bloomfield and up near a mile with 2 mile visibility in blacksburg and just over a mile in roanoke and still socked in in hot springs and still have that car fire and the backups southbound both lanes closed and the 2mile back up and to travel in that direction you may need to find an alternate route and maybe your gbs will help you out with that but give yourself an extra bit of time as you will be waiting quite awhile if you cant go around it. Same story with the fog. If you need to travel in or around the new river valley, need to be there through the Morning Hours and starting to clear up heading into the later morning and the afternoon. But a little extra time goes a long way on the morning like this. On the satellite radar, just a lot of clouds and patchy drizzle as well and showers start to lift on as we head into the afternoon. The warm front thats going to be lifting in our direction and that will bring some scattered showers and see those forming up in the corridor of south carolina, georgia and North Carolina right now. Theres that warm front for you. All the warm air pull pooled up to lift up to the north as we go throughout the day today and that will bring in some extra moisture and nice temperatures as we go through the overnight down and actually be on the rise as the warm air streams into the region. Chair in on the future cast as we go throughout the morning and most of the east with that late in the evening. The potent cold front making the way across the area into tomorrow morning and moves through the door in the peak heating time. That could put down not only blistering rain but also hearing thunder with that thing crossing through and certainly keep an update on that through continue 00 tonight and clearing out quickly as we 10 00 tonight and clearing out quickly as we go into the day wednesday and thursday. Of patchy drizzle around and the clouds lingering making for the raw feel out there for us. Cloudy and damp for the Central Virginia area with the temperatures also within a couple of degrees of 50. A little milder down to the south side and a couple of degrees above 50 but for the most part lots of clouds around for all of us as we go throughout you can get your and dont forget and dont forget latest weather and news on first.
