The 2016 president ial race then turns to New Hampshire just a day after the iowa caucuses. Marley hall is in des moines where the republicans have a clearcut winner but the democratic race is still very, very close. But we do have what appears to be an apparent winner. Reporter the democratic contest in iowa remains unresolved this morning with Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders still locked in a draw. Both candidates addressed supporters late last night as the numbers were still being counted. I will keep standing up for you. I will keep fighting for you. We are going to create an economy that works for working families, not just the billionaire class. Reporter the virtual tie means both candidates will likely leave iowa with roughly the same number of delegates. But abundance i say the results dont bode well for sanders. A tie is probably not going he did not turn out the quote unquote Obama Coalition as he would have hoped for. Reporter republican turnout in iowa shattered records as voters handed victory to ted cruz over donald trump. Tonight is a victory for courageous conservatives across iowa. We finished second and i want to tell you something, im just honored. Im really honored. Reporter all eyes are now on marco rubio who pulled away with a thirdplace finish last night, only trailing trumped by 1 . The big target is on marco rubios back. Its not only going to be cruz and rubio going after trumped but christie and k6. Reporter the focus of the 2016 president ial campaign now shifts to New Hampshire which rolls into the nations primary next week. Marley hall, cbs news, des end of the road for Mike Huckabee and Martin Omalley who both suspended their president ial bid last night. Joining us this morning for reaction, Meredith CollegePolitical Science professor, doctor david mclennan. Its got to be fun to be a political student on a day like today. It is. This is the start of the primary season, relatively short time until the general election. This is a fun time to be excited. Did clinton win . I think clinton may have squeaked by but she will claim that she skimmed Bernie Sanders tie and carries momentum in New Hampshire. On the other hand, sanders said i was up by 30 points out just a few weeks ago, ive got momentum on my side. Thats a race for both sides can declare victory as opposed to the republican side. On the republican side, ted cruz is claiming a clearcut win. Donald trump says hes still going to fight on. Is that a little bit of humility that he needs at this point in his campaign . Is basic claim for the last few months is invincibility. Make statement after statement. Weve got to remember New Hampshire is not iowa. D so, whereas ted cruz may say i did well in iowa, ive got momentum, he may not do as well. How about rubio . 30 strong finish in third. Hes one that can really claim victory. Cruz was expected to do well because of the evangelical vote. Rubio came from Single Digits to almost get second place. Hes got a lot of momentum and is doing relatively well in New Hampshire. He will be the one to watch for what they call that establishment alternative. How does this affect the mind send of voters in New Hampshire . Do they feed off the energy of particular candidates . Historically, no because New Hampshire sees itself as such a different state. We have seen people do poorly in iowa and when New Hampshire, vice versa. Even though it may cost donald trump a few voters because they dont see him any longer as invincible, i think new independent spirit to really run with it over the course of this race. Do you have any predictions for New Hampshire . I will be watching the polls the next few days, but i think donald trump on the republican side. Hes got such a huge lead going into the race even though he may lose a few points. And on the democratic side, sanders. His home state advantage, almost. Hes from the next door state. That would almost seem to be important for him. Anderson South Carolina . South carolina is with Hillary Clinton is looking forward to stop the momentum because it has a higher minority population and she does well in that vote. I bet youll have fun in class today. Oh, you have a lot of good discussion. David mclennan, thank you so much for talking about the iowa caucuses. Back to you. Thanks. Always good to hear his insight.

I mean, even with cloud cover it is so gorgeous. You can see the sun trying to break through. I agree. Even during a hurricane is pretty interesting. Absolutely. They are getting a few low clouds down there as well, it had been there earlier in the day. They are likely to vary between partly sunny and mostly cloudy. Around here, likely to be lot of areas and as we get into the late morning and early afternoon, especially south and east of the triangle there may be a few places that see some partial sunshine breakthrough. Right now overcast on our fayetteville sky cam over fayetteville, overcast over much of the viewing area at the moment. Weve got temperatures that are fairly mild for this time of mourning in early february. 49 durham, 49 at the station road, Holly Springs at 51, 50 in moncure, about the same up toward wake county. Widening the view, rocky mount has 46, 54 southern pines, 55 in fayetteville and we are in the mid40s up along the virginia line. As we look at satellite and radar, thats the area where we saw the best chance of a few sprinkles and light showers last night. Most places getting only a trace to a couple hundred 7 inch. Although toward the northern coastal plain there were a couple of spots where we got one or 2 10 of an inch of it system before it died out. Since then we have had that disturbance move on to the east. South other southern carolina and beyond that, you can see this band of dole gray indicating lowlevel clouds with spaces around 1500 to 3000 feet. The tops of those only 2000 or 3000 feet above that. And it looks like a couple of those may be thick enough from time to time during the morning to produce some drizzle in a few spots, otherwise not much in the way of measurable rain. Will to the west. You can see this evidence on the swirl of low pressure in the upper atmosphere. That will all be moving to the northeast. There is a front extending south from that driving to the east over the next couple of days. Out ahead of that today from kentucky down toward the gulf coast, there is a risk of severe thunderstorms, we might even hear of tornadoes out that way. And then that system weakens a little bit in some ways in terms of Severe Weather but stormy produce decent shower activity here tomorrow into tomorrow night and maybe thursday. Heres a look at the system on our upperlevel future cast model. You can see the lowpressure northeast. The development of that strong cold front with a sharp contrast in temperatures, we end up warming up a good bit between today and tomorrow after staying cooler today than the last couple of days. Cooler air starts to move in here as that front crosses North Carolina later tomorrow and tomorrow night. Ahead and the one that we have bands of showers and maybe one or two thunderstorms severe over North Carolina. We should see a growing trend thursday through friday and we end up staying dry to the weekend it looks like with a slow warm up after cooling off some as we finish off the week. For today, mainly cloudy through the morning hours, 52 by lunchtime, 56 this afternoon. Maybe some breaks in the clouds here and there and back down to 52 by 8 00 p. M. Later tonight, low of 50. Tomorrows high 68. We have a marginal risk tomorrow for Severe Weather, he comes through here and of course we will let you know if anything does turn to severe in spots.

We may warm a little bit on super bowl sunday with partly cloudy skies and highs in the upper 50s by then. I will turn over to brian now with an update on traffic. 7 49 after we found the culprit for the big delays we are seeing in the corner area on 40 westbound. This is a live look at i40 from white oak road. In the distance is the clayton bypass. We have an accident in the medium. Traffic fund and with flashing lights, up to a 22 minute drive from 42 up to 440 with most of those delays right here between 42 and the clayton bypass. Its getting busier closer to the beltline, that is slowing down but the majority of the delays are due to that accident. Combine that with congestion during this time of day and you get big delays to garner. Also sings lowdown on westbound of i40 through raleigh, as part of the fortify work zone three lays reports of an action on the side of Durham County on 98 between south you and all of branch road. Seemed pretty heavy delays this morning. Something to keep in mind coming in from the wake forest area and northern wake county heading into durham.

Everything is not fine with youtube spine brothers. The youtube superstars are known for their series of videos were kids, adults and seniors react to something on camera. They have millions of followers and most of them were spent into a tizzy by an announcement last week. They said they were going to videos to creators worldwide and attempt to collect profits from the very reaction video video out there. Monday night, they did an about face on the plan. Saying they plan to rescind their react trademark applications, discontinue the react World Program and release all past content id claims.
