We pride ourselves in providing our guests with a great vacation experience and clearly we failed in this particular case. Apology from carnival there. The ceo, mr. Cahill, we just heard from said he was boarding the ship so he could personally apologize to those passengers as they disembark. The company will likely face a slew of lawsuits in the aftermath of the incident. The passengers, they may be in for a rude awakening because of the fine print on the tickets that will likely limit carnivals liability. A former senior official told fox news the triumph is one of carnivals biggest ships, takes five generators to get it running, each the size of a bus. All of those went out except for the backup generator. Well continue to follow this one tonight.

We got a little bit of storm on the radar to watch. Yeah. I looked at everything tonight. It looks like this one will be just off the coast, might affect southeast virginia, but thats todays version of it. Well see what happens tomorrow. Friday starts out nice and bright. I think well get enough sunshine certainly through the morning to get us up into the low maybe mid50s. That is pretty comfortable for january hey, its february. Woohoo. Winter is going fast. Check out the high temperatures today. We were up to 50 degrees with lots of sunshine. Nashville with 62, st. Louis 57 and then we find the dropoff, much colder air out in nebraska through the dakotas up to International Falls and fargo. Weve got a frontal boundary up there coming our direction tomorrow night. In the meantime it will be a mild day friday, but we could squeeze out a couple showers that could change over to snow showers as this arctic boundary crosses friday night. It brings in much colder air for the weekend and those rain and snow showers friday night, if theyre vigorous enough, it might be able to coat some grassy areas especially east of d. C. , very similar to last night, although now our models arent quite as vigorous as last night. The question is does this area of low pressure that develops on the frontal boundary throw back some snow into our area saturday . Right now looking at everything i would say it would just be some snow showers, but maybe theres some small accumulation across southern maryland, southeastern virginia, in that direction, maybe even down through the Northern Neck of virginia, but again those questions remain to be seen, not sure how close thats going to get. Either way it would be on saturday and it is a Holiday Weekend. Once again it does not look like anything majorly disruptive. Temperatures 32 degrees in gaithersburg and baltimore, 35 fredericksburg. 28 in manassas. Temperatures will bottom out in the upper 20s to low 30s tonight. Were thinking in the district it might stay around 37 degrees, 33 for gaithersburg, annapolis 35, manassas 35 degrees and culpepper should be right around there. Manassas probably wont be 35 considering its already 28 degrees. 37 in the district with just a few clouds, about 32 to upper 20s in the suburbs, 54 degrees tomorrow. Well have morning sunshine. Clouds will come in the afternoon and some evening showers of rain or snow depending on how fast the arctic boundary moves through. Heres a look at your day planner. We should pop to 53 by noon and have some sun through clouds at 4 00 with a temperature of 51 degrees. Into the weekend we go. Saturday well feature rain and snow showers with a temperature of 40, so much colder even than your friday will be by some 14 or 15 degrees and very blustery sunday which means that 37 with a big wind will give you wind chills in the 20s sunday. The frontal boundary we know will be getting closer tomorrow, might squeeze out a couple showers of rain or snow when it comes through tomorrow evening and then well keep a close eye on what happens for the part two of this thing. That is an area of low pressure forming on the boundary. Now it looks like it might be too far out to sea to give us any significant snow but a man southeastern virginia. We wrap but maybe southeastern virginia. We wrap it up, may see a little wintery mix starting up monday night and tuesday features temperatures up to 50 degrees, wednesday and thursday in the mid40s. That is your Holiday Weekend forecast. Well keep an eye on that snow. Whats going on with the caps . Well, near on a season high winding streak theyre on a season high winding streak of two games. For winning streak of two games. A new head coach and a brand new system, tonight caps and lightning, caps on the power play, how pretty is this passing nicki backstrom to troy brouwer, 10 caps. 2nd period tied 11, lightning turn it over and that turns into eric thayers 50th career goal. It gives the caps a 21 lead. 3rd period we go, moor of the same. Caps coming the more of the same. Caps coming the other way and again a huge blast, the 51st goal of his career, 31 caps.
