you can see the temperatures are in the 70s, so off go the boots. 73 in new port richey, zephyrhills 73, dade city 75. so we are off to a warm start for the week. you can see temperatures also in hillsborough county are in the low to mid-70s. we have a cold front heading our way. that's why we have a good chance of rain tonight but the great news is if you're heading out this evening, maybe headed off to the pasco county fair, it will continue on through 11:00 tonight. and rain chances are gradually going up through about 11:00. it will be very hit or miss up to this point. then as we get into the overnight, that's when this frontal boundary bringing winter weather to the north and chance for severe storms to the south is going to roll through our area. more on the threat for severe weather in our area coming up. remember i mentioned snow to the north. if you're doing any traveling, take a look at these pictures. it is snowing right now in d.c. take a look at that. getting some snow. again, severe weather also a concern with this system. >> we have new images we are just seeing out of alexandria, louisiana. police say there are people with minor injuries after this during the storm, part of a large winter storm hammering the eastern part of u.s. and bringing rain and strong winds and snow. coming up on the now, jodi arias is worried about her hair. how it got her in trouble in breaking news right now, pictures from inside a school in mississippi. part of the damage ashley was just talking about. we are still waiting to see if this is a confirmed tornado. trying to clean this mess up. we'll continue to check in with this and shay later on about our weather. do you remember jodi arias?
