Its all about the roller coaster weather. Unprecedented National Park Service Calls it. The first days of the record warmth pushing back the peak start date to march 14. Bitter cold moving it forward to the 19th. The big worry now is the potential for the bitter cold. Reach before the 24 degree mark and many of the blossoms could die. Turn brown and simply fall off. Literally every year since 1921 there has been a peak bloom listed. They are tracking the forecast closely for the next five to seven day. The cold is definitely the enemy. 24 degrees or lower, we could look at perhaps as if it happens its a perform storm of conditions that may lead to a less than stellar peak bloom year.

This is part of a troubling nationwide trend we come to find out. Kevin certainly. The a. T. F. Just finished putting together a detailed report last month about the increase. The reason varies depending on the part of the country you live in. In the charlotte area, the a. T. F. Has seen an uptick in gangs breaking in to gun stores to add to their weapon arsenal.

The first full month of president Donald Trumps time in office. Abc7 chief Political Correspondent scott thuman looks at if the administration should claim full credit. Scott trump went on this view of the jobs report as a candidate dont believe the phony numbers. Scott to this view were pleased to see the jobs report out. Scott steve ryan who was a Senate Committee staffer under the Reagan Admini good politics. Is there whenever something happens on your watch that is a good thing its political. Scott according to multiple exit polls trump won the white house in part because more voters believe he, a billionaire businessman was the right person to handle the economy. February marks the second month in a row of more than 200,000 job growth with the Unemployment Rate now down to 4. 7 . Stocks continue to rally. Confidence numbers are up. Ryan says some of the changes may have more to do with perception. If there is a belief that the economy is going to grow under a particular president , i think some of those are selffulfilling prophecies. Scott a perception that democrats in washington after a bruising election cycle want to change. They believe the credit for the number belongs to president trumps predecessor. This is an obama jobs report. We had the longest job g states under obama. Trump is lucky to inherit this. Scott some experts including ryan agrees with that point but he points out that the president s future plans, proposals to increase infrastructure and defense spending should get more attention than this report. How with regoing to pay for this president s programs . Are we going to increase the deficit . That to me is probably the most important issue today.

Well, this means that cousins will remain in washington for at least one more season. Making 24 million. He can nowbe the redskins reviewed all the options on the table. They can still negotiate with cousins on a longterm deal until july 15. At that point there can be no deal signed until after the redskins season. Also concerning, the team needs a new general manager during the critical time of the year. Mccloughan is gone.

If he doesnt want to be here longterm, let him go. Jonathan he wanted to be here. But they made all the noise. Scott last year they went back and forth. Cousins bet on himself. He won. He is ready to double down. It doesnt seem like he wants to negotiate with the redskins. There is a report today out he doesnt want to work with bruce allen. He refuses to negotiate longterm. Im at the point this is a distraction all year long. Trade it. Go from there. Alison thanks, scott. Jonathan next at 4 00, why work days for some alison and hanging on for dear life.

Coastal system coming up. Its the right way to get a snowstorm for us. Its possible but its not a done deal. It will continue to move northeast. Continue the trek on tuesday.
