A chance to win. And a chance to multiply your winnings. And good evening everybody. Welcome back. As we look at your headlines big changes from what it was looking like as we were heading into the weekend. It still looks like we will see a little bit of everything we thought we would see. It is just the amount. We are backing off that a little bit. Were not that much less than what i thought was going to happen. We are going to see some snow tonight in the overnight hours. Now that becomes a wintry mix as we get into the monday a. M. Hours. What that means is we will see some sleet and freezing rain. That freezing rain obviously the enemy of drivers everywhere, and monday, were going to see that change over once again, mainly into rain. And so we actually look pretty good on the back half of monday heading into tuesday. Although we could be seeing some potential Flooding Issues in tuesday night. As of right now, heres what were looking at, the Winter Weather has already pushed into the area. I know we see this white already stretching down into charlotte. Now, keep in mind, we talked about this earlier. That it is falling from the sky, but the air closer to the surface is fairly dry, and so a lot of this is actually evaporating before it actually touches the ground. You guys may be seeing a few snow flakes. You think you would be see widespread snow happening at this point, but you can see where these areas around mount holly, where it is starting to turn, between huntersville and charlotte, thats where we are starting to see some snow hitting the surface. You can see the darker grays, stony point, taylorsville, and to the north, we are starting to get the darker gray, thats where we are seeing it hit the surface. This is the area where we will the ground, its been very cold here over the last week. So anything that hits the ground is freezing, it is going to stick at this point. But were still not looking for a lot of accumulation tonight. When we talk about snow totals, the northern most, not a big surprise, should see the biggest accumulations, 2 to 4 inches for the area in blue. Area in light blue from lincolnton to the north, 1 to 3 inches is possible. Everybody in white, were talking about really about an inch or less. Some spots less than half an inch or even quarter of an inch the further to the south you go. More likely to see Something Like ice. Those ice totals still dont look like they will be very heavy. That southern amount between. 01 and. 1. That takes us up to lincolnton. Keep in mind, quarter of an inch or more on the road is very very dangerous out there. So we encourage you to be extremely careful. Again, cold outside. 28 degrees with winds out of the east northeast at 8 milesanhour. Want to just track here over the next little bit. I want to show you whats happened. This warm front really is key here. Warm front wasnt in play, we would see all this coming down as snow. But it is moving up to the north. We will see this transition into that freezing rain. This is 7 20 a. M. In the morning. Probably going to be seeing some freezing rain at that point. We get into the afternoon hours, were going to see off and on chances for showers. After this that warm front is through the area. Anything we see after that should largely come down as rain. This takes us into monday night at 10 09. From that point in through tuesday morning, we are expecting a lot of rain to fall over the area because the ground is cold. Its hard. We dont expect a lot of that rain to penetrate. We could be looking at some Flooding Issues tomorrow morning on your way into work. We will talk more about this on what to expect in the seven day in terms of temperatures. A nice big warm up coming. Thank you, brian.

Plus we will have the latest reaction from last nights very heated g. O. P. Debate. And its being called the tinder for young voters. How a new app is designed to the the focus on the president ial campaign is split this sunday. Fiery g. O. P. President ial debate to the political fight following the death of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia. Fox news correspondent Kristin Fisher is covering it all. I was pleased with the debate. I was the only person that went after donald trump. On the campaign trail sunday, fallout from saturday nights contentious g. O. P. Debate. My mom is the strongest woman i know. When jeb gets up and says we were safe under his brother, we werent safe. First of all, his brother got us into the war in iraq which is one of the worst catastrophes ever. From trump versus bush to cruz versus rubio. I like ted but in this campaign in the last few weeks, he has kind of developed a disturbing pattern of telling things that simply arent true. Just this week alone, he had an ad pulled off the air because it lied about sanctuary cities and immigration. When anyone points to rubios record on immigration and supporting amnesty, he just responds yelling Ohio Governor john kasich is trying to keep his momentum after his second place finish in New Hampshire by being the voice of reason. Meanwhile, on the democratic race, the fight continues to win over minority voters in both nevada and South Carolina. If we broke up the big banks tomorrow and i will, if they deserve it, if they pose a systemic risk, i will, would that end racism . I think we are going to surprise people in nevada. I think were going to surprise people in South Carolina. The death of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia is now a major topic on the campaign trail. Both Democratic Candidates say president obama should nominate a new Supreme Court justice. The constitution is pretty clear. President makes the appointment. Senate confirms. Lets get on with that business. But republican candidates argue a new appointment should wait for a new president. One more liberal justice in the 2nd amendment will be effectively wrib out of the written out of the constitution. One more liberal justice and the court will strike down every restriction on abortion. We are now less than a week away from the republican primary in South Carolina, and the Democratic Caucus in nevada. In washington, Kristin Fisher, and all eyes are on clinton and her email scandal. The state department is scheduled to release the final batch of her emails on february 29th. Thats just one day before voting in several states. Were going to look into the potential impact of this a little bit later in the show. If predictions are correct, trump could be the republican president ial nominee. Students at washington and Lee University have chosen trump to be the partys pick this year. Now, the students have picked the g. O. P. Nominee at a Mock Convention ever since 1948. Listen to this, they have been correct in their prediction 19 out of 25 times. An annual civil rights rally was focused on the up coming elections. On saturday, leaders of the moral march on rally pressed for what they call progressive policies in the tarheel state and increase voter registration. The reverend William Barber of the states naacp delivered the keynote address focused on the federal courts redistricting decision. He says the maps author should apologize for boundaries that Hillary Clintons Campaign Says her new 125 billion dollars economic plan for poor communities could end up creating thousands of jobs right here in North Carolina. This is at least the news and the observer. The democratic hopeful rolled out the plan on friday during a Campaign Stop in South Carolina. Her campaign estimates the plan which is called the break every barrier agenda would result in Job Opportunities for 42,000 young africanamericans and 5,000 young la tooe young latinos looking for work in the state. With election season in full swing, it can be difficult to keep up with all of the candidates. But now theres a brand new app thats making it a whole lot easier. Foxs Douglas Kennedy shows us how it works. It doesnt focus the conversation. It doesnt allow you to connect on those issues. For years, stefan would how he was feeling but when it came to what he believed, he kept it to himself. So social media is great at connecting people socially. But its not always great at connecting people politically. I think with an open platform like facebook, sometimes it just allows people to go all over the map with your opinions. A fact he says keeps young people alienated from the political process. In fact, less than half of young people today identify with any political party, and less than 20 say they feel politically engaged. Two all time lows in recent american politics. One other reason so many New Hampshire millennials flocked to nonmainstream president ial candidates. And the main reason James Wyndham cofounded brigade, an app to engage young people politically. He calls it the tinder of politics. Like tinder, users swipe their opinion on political yeah, brigade makes it easy, fun, and social to be political online. Users, for instance, are presented with provocative questions, swiping agree, disagree, or unsure. Answers immediately put them in touch with likeminded individuals. For more information and discussion. Now if users get really involved, you hook them up with National Advocacy groups. Exactly. On brigade you cannot only express your opinion on issues that matter to you but we partner you with organizations so you can take action. He encourages people to write their own opinions which they can distribute to their friends or to the general public this generation wants to talk about the issues, connect directly with each other and differently. Think about things differently he says because they are now connected differently. In new york, Douglas Kennedy, fox news. Still to come tonight, with the last of her emails being released just before super tuesday, will clinton lose some important votes in several key states . Were going to take a look in just moments.

And again, keep in mind, that you may see some snow before the night is over. Some spots as we mentioned already seeing a little bit of some light snow. Again, charlotte hasnt had a whole lot of flakes hit the ground. But just to the north of us, you see how it is kind of a darker blue, thats where were seeing some snow finally hitting the surface. Again, this warm front really going to be a key factor in what we see here over the next 24 hours. As it begins to move in here. It is going to affect the weather. Again, were so cold right now, anything that comes over the next several hours really taking us into tomorrow morning, early tomorrow morning should come down as frozen precipitation. Mainly im talking about snow. But we could see s se sleet mixed in there as well. All right . This is to the north of us. This is through 6 30 p. M. Tonight. Were looking at here real quickly quickly. We have a lot of cold air that is going to stay at the surface. That warm air comes into the atmosphere and at the higher levels, it will be just a thin layer at first. We will see it translate into sleet. But then it is thicker and refreezes right as it hits the surface. Thats where we will see the freezing rain. That could affect us tomorrow morning during the morning commute. Could be looking at ice issues out there on the road. I dont expect a ton of freezing rain to hit. Im not expecting a lot of downed power trees and power lines and trees but again, roads are definitely going to be an issue as we head into tomorrow morning across much of the region and of course we will see some rain pushing in once that warmer air its not warm, its just warmer than freezing moves into the area. Heres what it looks like on your future cast one more time. Again, this particular model is not bringing a lot of it down into charlotte. Again, i do expect to see a little bit of snow, sleet and morning. This is 7 27. Obviously the best area north. We will see this transition monday night into rain across the area. Be pretty hard because of the coldness as this rain comes through. We could be seeing some Flooding Issues again affecting your morning commute on tuesday morning. Things clear out, though, tuesday. Later in the day we will see some snow chances lingering through the mountains on wednesday. Tonight temperatures hit the teens and 20s. Everybody is freezing yet again. But tomorrow most of us should be above freezing. Still very cold outside. Warmest spots is going to be wadesboro coming in at about 41. Charlotte hits 37 for the daytime high tomorrow. Good news, however, temperatures, even on tuesday, warm up to 58 degrees. Were going to dry out. Wednesday, thursday, and friday weve got some sunshine all three days. We start out cold, but hit the mid up toer 50s in the afternoon. Upper 50s in the afternoon. Next weekend we will be in the 60s. I like the sound of that, thank you.

Second best is being able to watch it and try to understand a little bit more of whats going on, get a better idea and understanding for the draft in these cup cars which i have never done before, so for me come thursday, i think it is going to be important to still put yourself in a position to learn some things and see what, you know, some positions that you might be faced with on sunday. At the same time, i expect it to be calmer than what the race was last night because i think all these guys are going to race these primary cars on sunday, so hopefully everybody will be hopefully i think everybody will go into it with that mindset. Theres a lot of racing to be done before next week with having those 150 mile races on thursday night. But just try to prepare. Do the best job we can to be prepared and control the things that you can control. At some of these racetracks like daytona, but there is still a lot of things that we can control, and we want to try and make the most of those and go from there.

Flags all around the country are flying at halfstaff today as the nation mourns the death of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia. The conservative giant died suddenly while on a hunting trip in west texas. Fox news chief Legal Correspondent takes a look at the judicial legacy that Justice Scalia leaves behind. He has been described as larger than life. That was true of Justice Scalia both on and off the court. A spirited jurist, he was often the most aggressive questioner from the bench and one of the most likely to provoke laughter, even during the most serious cases. He was also an originalist, someone who believed the words of a document should be interpreted by looking at the words own what they meant they were written. I look to the words of the constitution, but i ask what did those words mean to the society that adopted them. Thats the same thing i do with legislation. What do those words mean . Scalia was known for being rather immovable. Once he reached a decision and often penned fiery descends when he was on the losing end. Scalia wrote, quote, a system of government that makes the people subordinate to a committee of nine unelected does not deserve to be called a ed aed a to be called a democracy. On affirmative action, abortion, the president s use of executive power and the hhs contraceptive mandate, all without the voice that would have undoubtedly been the most spirited in the mix.
