chilly. temperatures across the region still into the 40s into the shenandoah valley and 54 in manassas. here's the setup and this is why it has been set -- stubborn, we have joaquin, now category 3

fueling in the easterly wind for us and look at this moisture in south carolina, it is not going anywhere. this is a huge problem for south carolina. for us, we are still dealing with a little bit of clouds and we will see a little bit of that green, a little bit of that moisture streaming on in throughout the day. take a look at futurecast as we go through this afternoon drier than yesterday but still on the cloudy side. temperatures go into the 60s. by tomorrow, 7:30, starting off cloudy but, hey look, a little bit of sunshine for the afternoon, as the day unfolds, more and more sunshine

these new terminals. of the stores have to have these new terminals in place or face consequences. >> they will bear the liability in case of credit card fraud. that is a big shift because in the
