"25 sale on America in the morning. AccuWeather dot com meteorologist Matt Benz is busy at the national map. What's the forecast? Shaping up to be a very active weather pattern here from the West Coast to the east coast here for today as we are tracking several systems moving across the region and even though the calendar says it's march. It's going to feel more like February with regards to snow across portions of the U.S. over the next couple of days. Our first storm that we're tracking moving through the Great Lakes to the east coast here for today. This will bring mainly snow across portions of Wisconsin and in northern Illinois, lower Michigan, leads to start the day into the early afternoon. This will be our main concern for where we'll see slippery roads here to start the day as that's where we'll see the best chance for any snow accumulations. As you head east, we'll see a mix over to rain and snow across portions of the Ohio valley into the central appalachians east of the appalachians here for today, mainly rain, especially for this afternoon from places like Philadelphia, northward towards New York City, though some snow can mix in for these areas heading into tonight, mainly rain then as you head south across Virginia and across the Carolinas and vaccine thunderstorms could erupt as well at times for today from southern South Carolina. Georgia, northern Florida, some of these storms packing a punch with heavy downpours at times for today. That's thunderstorm risk extending westward to the lower Mississippi River valley. This will be more hit and miss type thunderstorms. Central southern plains outside of Texas dry here for today a new system moving into the West Coast. We'll continue to bring heavy rainfall to portions of California for today, especially just near and south of the Bay Area towards the LA basin, flooding concerns will be renewed for many of these areas along with risk for mudslides. Please be careful out there. Snow at higher elevations of the Sierra. Also look at snow falling across portions of the central and northern rockies as well through much of today. That's the nation's weather. This is America in the morning. It's 23 till. I'm John trout. President Biden traveled to Philadelphia and laid out his budget plan, but back in Washington, Republicans panned the budget

"The morning continues most of the nation has been enjoying an unseasonably warm winter. Will that continue? Here's AccuWeather dot com meteorologist Brian Thompson. The unseasonable warmth is going to continue as we head throughout today across the southeast much of the Tennessee and Ohio valleys through the southern plains. All throughout the southeast for today. Temperatures running at least ten to 20° above average of most locations are going to be flirting with some record highs in some areas as high as in the 80s all on the Gulf Coast through Florida through much of Texas, highs into the 70s all the way up into southern parts of the Ohio valley. Temperatures will fall off quite a bit as you get up toward the Great Lakes and northeast. Temperatures in general near or even still a little bit above average for this job of year. Now we are watching a storm system. It's a fast moving system. It's going to be cutting across the Great Lakes today. Snow and some accumulating snow to northeastern parts of Minnesota and northern Wisconsin, the UP of Michigan, even northern parts of the lower Peninsula of Michigan picking up some snow, some rain and some sleet as you get down closer to Detroit. But again, more of a wet system than a white one. As you get down toward Detroit, but mainly dry across the northeast, the mid Atlantic today. Back through much of the plane states were going to be dry today, some spotty showers on the Gulf Coast. West, we're going to see some snow across the northern rockies today. Unsettled and still kind of chilly out west. We're still looking along the West Coast for some showers from western Washington through Oregon, through much of Northern California, could even be some hail in some of the heavier showers. Across America. In Boston today, blustery with sunshine high 48 near record warmth in New Orleans with some sun and a shower high 83. That's the nation's weather. Brian Thompson.

"The weather focused today remains on a major winter system on where the most snow is expected. Today, here's AccuWeather dot com meteorologist Carl Erickson. As a winter storm gathering strength, the heaviest snow today will be found from parts of the northern plains, eastward through southern Minnesota and northern Wisconsin, increasing the winds will lead to blizzard conditions in eastern and South Dakota into southwestern Minnesota. Most of the southern Minnesota, including Minneapolis, and northern Wisconsin is expected to back up one to two feet of snow before the storm winds down tomorrow. A winter mix of snow, sleet, and freezing rain will make for a dangerous travel and may resolve in power outages from southern Wisconsin into Michigan, including Detroit, while Chicago may have some sleep mixed in during the morning.

"I am excited today. Because you've got a guest on. This is a guess as a little out of the box. From who've you brought on before. And i'm really excited that rebecca salsas here and What what are you guys talking about today. yes so. I'm really excited. That rebecca was able to join us today. Rebecca is the executive director of the josephine county Library foundation and is really an integral part. The library there in just being county. Where grants pass. Where i live is located. And i just wanted to spend some time talking with rebecca about the value that libraries bring to our community and to our lives and so rebecca. Thank you so much for being here. Absolutely thank you for having me ma. It's our pleasure our pleasure so We tell us just a little bit about how long you've been working with the library and What your position entails right now so i have been through. Many different transitions At our library. And i've been working about eight years back. When the library was a nonprofit i was doing the fundraising and now i've transitioned over to the library foundation and i'm not the executive director and my job is to help raise funds to support special programs and things that are outside of the library. District's budget very nice. Very nice and and i know there's a long history there with what happened in josephine county with the library system Do you want to just give a brief overview of that of what happened to it. Seems like almost twenty years ago now with libraries being defended and then what what happened in the community after that absolutely so in two thousand and eight the libraries were closed and e funded and the community really rallied. They wanted to have a library in their communities so it was a grassroots efforts and they raced funds and was able to st- originally started out of you know checking out. Books are lending out books in their vehicles in a parking lot and then they were able to raise enough money to open up. The libraries and tons of work was involved with that and our library system. Which has four branches. One in grants pass one in williams one out in the ohio valley and one out of wolf creek operated as a nonprofit for ten years so phenomenal work. I'm and it was really exciting to see a community so passionate and really finding the value of libraries in a community because there there weren't a whole lot of libraries being run as nonprofits at that time. We're there no. Our library system is kind of like a unicorn very unique. We had over three hundred volunteers at one time. Doing all of that work which is just amazing. And even within it becoming a nonprofit. There were still three over three hundred volunteers that were checking in books. Checking out books doing all of that work. In fact we have about two hundred fifty volunteers. That still are doing that. Work today. so wonderful i my. My sister has has volunteered to the library. Here for years before covid. Kind of shut down the the day to day operations of checking in and out books but What what. I wanted to kind of touch on i. I remember this is this is my embarrassing story is probably sixteen. Seventeen years ago. I was much younger and definitely not as wise and i was standing in line at a community event here in jackson county and we were at the library and i had made an offhand comment about. Why do people need libraries anymore. and what. i didn't realize. I was standing right behind. One of the board members for the jackson county library and she took me to task for about five minutes explaining the value of libraries to the community. So i would love for you to just take a minute And i'm gonna humbly ask why our library still relevant today. It's a great question and we hear it quite often. Actually you know not. Everyone has the same resources in today's world and libraries are the technology access points for so many people and we see that even more now that we've endured through a pandemic and libraries as a whole. There's just so much more than book. Repositories the cultural and community centers. And our library here in grants pass even attracts more foot traffic then the local post office so when you think about all those long lines in the post office and how busy it always. Is your library here. Josephine community library is is busier than that. And really we service as venues for community meetings host workshops from anything of you wanna learn about coating to changing a tire and i could also take a task for a long time about the importance of libraries. But just a couple numbers to run by. You is each month. More than twenty. Two thousand items are checked out. And they're in homes within our community and in a county where at least a third of our residents don't have computer or internet access at home patrons lock more than fifteen thousand computer sessions in a year and have nearly forty three thousand personal devices. Connect to the library's wifi so it is a library is so much more than just books in building. It's really an important piece of the community where people can connect and grow. I just can't agree more promptly. What got me back into. The library was have having a daughter. She's six now. You know taking her back to the library to have those experiences in the children's roman being able to kind of just see the books touch the books and kind of just have that that feel of what a library feels like is just phenomenal. I know you. There's just so many Children's programs happening at the library is as well absolutely and we have families with kids of all ages coming to participate. Whether it's our summer reading program we have sensory story times the dolly parton imagination library program or registering kits through josephine county to receive free books. Mail to them Every month and and that that is just such a fantastic program. That was a partnership. I think with The library in rotary there in josephine county. If i'm correct but That is really phenomenal. That is any any family can sign up for it. Any child and from birth to five years old every month. They get a new book in the mail. Mail to them. Yeah it's it's wonderful and we have over two thousand kids currently receiving books every month in josephine county through that program and and thanks to all for the rotary groups in grants pass and and the many funders of that program.

"To you by the husband, Wife Law team of Briar Law protecting the rights of the seriously injured in Arizona. Since 1996 it's February 5th. And on this day in 2000 and eight there was a tornado outbreak. It almost seems like weather can be contagious sometimes because 13 years ago, the southern United States and parts of the lower Ohio Valley experienced 87 tornadoes in just 15 hours. The storm created several destructive twisters in Biggs. Cities such as Memphis, Jackson and Nashville. But it wasn't just any normal day. This happened on Super Tuesday, while 24 states were holding the primary elections to select the presidential candidates in total 57 people were killed across four states and 18 counties, plus hundreds of others were injured. It was the deadliest outbreak of tornadoes in the modern era of radar, but there have been others. 123 people died in the 1971 Mississippi Valley outbreak. 76 people died in the 1985 United States Canada outbreak and, most recently, the 2011 super outbreak killed 324 people, But the 2008 storm was devastating in its own right, and it happened on this day in 2000 and eight And this is so weird. I'm an Arizona native. We don't have a lot of tornadoes here yet. The first nightmare I ever remember having was about a tornado, and I still remember it vividly. I must feel like four years old, but I think it might have been influenced by the Wizard of Oz. I couldn't see that was a pretty wicked. When did you see what happened to the witch in that?

That's going to cut down on some of the snowfall intensity as storm number one. The old area of low pressure is the Ohio Valley starts to form a new one off the coast of the mid Atlantic. That's why this is kind of a two day thing. So we've seen a lot of the snow. We're gonna get on the ground. Already.

We're gonna mix over to some sleeping, some freezing rain and eventually, some plain rain. Near D. C and points to the south into the east that will start this evening and last into overnight Tonight. That'll seem to knock down some of the accumulations on the ground.
