el nio years have a higher risk of severe weather. over the past 30 years, 17 of them have been el nio years. when you look at those compared to la nina years, we double the amount of tornadoes. 154 compared to 82. we will be on guard this spring, watching for severe weather. el nio seasons tend to limit the hurricane season. if el nio hangs on, good news headed into the summer. we will keep you posted. carol: our team is tracking the weather 20 47 on our mobile app. you can download it for free from the app store. is back open tonight after a washout closed it down. the rain created storm water issues, inc. owning where the 80 river meets -- the reedy river meets cleveland park. this part of the trail is a "choke point." carol: travelers rest fire officials say a family's dog died in a house fire this morning. firefighters responded to a home on ridge trail this morning, around 9:00. officials say y e fire was fully involved when they arrived, and they put it out within fifteen minutes. fire crews say two people were inside, but got

over the past 30 years, we have had 17 el nio years, and during el nio years in south carolina, the northern part of the state, 154 tornadoes in el nio years, half of that for la nina season. cold fronts come through, the cold air clashing at the same time. an active jet coming out of the south debts the air to circulate, and that is why during the winter, we can get tornadoes in severe weather and in the spring, especially. looking ahead, we have a higher risk for severe weather. that is something we will keep an eye on heading into the spring. it could be an issue. terror apart hurricanes which will limit the hurricanes if it heads strong -- stays strong headed into the summertime. gabrielle: right now, duke energy is reporting thousands of outages in the asheville area. according to the duke energy website, nearly 6,000 customers are without power. duke energy crews are working to identify the cause of the outage. officials say crews are switching circuits to bring power back on, and it should be restored very soon. the duke energy website is reporting power should be restored by 5:45 ton

nick expects the arrival of el nio in the current months. we'll be looking at a pattern >> polar vortexes when multiple streams of hot and cold come together and it's a cold front coming through. >> nobody knows where it comes from or how it's made, but there it is. >> when the polar vortex drops down like it will this weekend and with a strong el nio and jetstream, that's when you really have to work watch out for coastal storms and blizzards. sadly that won't happen this weekend, but we are all just going to be really cold. >> iml nino. >> all the storms must bow before el nio. >> i met king, fox 5 news. >> i love that one of chris farley. we know cold weather is on the way. earlier tonight it was very windy. wind chills were in the single to what's coming. the wind will be strong and gusty and we could see 30 below zero. it was very cold last year but it wasn't extreme. we haven't had this for a while. i was very frequent that it was that cold, but not like this. >> here we are talking extreme and is just a quick shot. we get at this week

what happened to el nio? >>> the bay area had a very rainy january but now we're seeing record high temperatures and dry in february. so is el nio starting to visit? azenith smith joins us now live from san jose with some answers tonight. >> reporter: many people described today's weather as picture-perfect. of people were walking around in sandals, shorts and tank tops. in february. while this weather may seem unusual, experts tell me this dry spell is normal. as the sun sets on this february night, at santana row, families played outside late into the evening. >> we usually drink red wine but the weather is so nice we decided to have white wine.

yes we are however not every el nio is a like a matter fact the last strong el nio all of the coast of south americat this year it's different t we had a year to start but now all of that warm water is migrating to the west when that happens there colder air starts coming down out of canada and if you remember we predicted that slipc back in i early november. that january flip to colder air we are finally seeing ice developed on lake erie was seem vaguely to arrive this year. w we didn't have those pushes of arctic air in december like we did in years past especially last winter and the winter before we didn't have the ice cover after new year's day and we've only people at 24 are 25 percent ice covered hovering around 15 percent. there are few and far between especially in november and shift in cooler air running about 2 feet before normal. this like the arizona cardinals in theal chamber chip game a few weekends ago once your far behind a comes nearly impossible to catch up and go again isn't the same was snow far. it certainly looks like it. is a big difference between five to 10 in

and that just screams el nio. and we stay with the west and northwest wind flow. take a look at the water vapor imagery. it may be a little ribbon of clouds going by, late tonight and tomorrow as a reinforcing cold front passes by, but that lots of hps and high pressure and lots of red. dry air on the image. and this was the first of the year and it's like we flipped a switch and frrmt went a ridge in the west and a trough in the east, and now it's him the opposite, and if this jet hangs around i think we'll have potentially more severe weather to come. although the el nio impacts are not quite done yet. it tends to wind down in april. and right now temperatures near the coast are milder. tam pal tampa is 56, palm dale is 49 and clewiston is 50. this is behind the cold front. temperatures inland are running 10 ta to 15, almost 10 degrees warmer than they were last night at 11:00. the barometer is rising, 30.22 inches of mercury. watching a weak cold front go by, the east coast is fairly quiet because there is wind and lake effect snow fill underway. snowing here d

but of course, el nio is the warm ocean water near the equator contrasted with the warm air creates a strong subtropical stream winds of 150 to 200 mph. combined with low-level ones from the southeast direction that create this turning we added this morning and el nio is not going away. we have a threat for tornadoes that exist right through march in south florida. and so many of us have received pictures and emails from you with the damage. keep them coming. we will have more in the newscast. >>> in fort lauderdale. crews are on the scene at a sewer main break. you can see it is causing some major flooding in the area of nw. 5th st. and authorities are issuing a cautionary advisory to avoid recreational activities in the area. >>> new details about a truck and its driver that went off a 95 ramp in miami. it's hard to forget these pictures that we brought you last night. there is a lot of heavy equipment on the truck which to play big role in helping investigators learned what went wrong. elliott rodriguez is here with more. >>reporter: the truck was equipped with video cameras sudden

it has been about el nio. this polar jet is the dominating force in our weather that will be suppressing the el nio back to the south and west prato impacts from stormy weather so we will see this unleash into the sunshine state. look at the temperatures inside. this theory of low pressure. 23 in chicago 13 and indianapolis and 20 for in st. louis. the low-pressure system is going to continue to force that to the south. keeping it on the chilly side. cold in the middle of the country warm weather back to the west another cold front following behind that a few days from now. but the best news of all, el nio will stay very quiet because of this. clouds on the increase and 6 am mostly cloudy breezy and cool 660 at 9 am and partly cloudy breezy and cool 60 for at noon tomorrow. small craft advisory. we have several cool nights and days coming up. lows in the 50s and 40s and then a gradual warm-up as we head to the holiday weekend. some execrable 50 is now officially in the book. -- >>> of extreme powerboat racing

we're still in el nio weather pattern and that means we're kind of getting lucky right now. we're not getting any of those big storms. but it's just a matter of time before we start to see more activity threatening this part of the world. and there is a weather system we're tracking tonight. but strange but true, this next one is going to go farther north which is usually not the case during the el nio-type weather pattern. we'll talk about that in just a minute. the keys and a couple of strifrng els just off the coast of ft. lauderdale. biscayne camera from downtown miami. where the weather the visibility is good which means there's no fog and no rain falling right now there. temperatures are come if i cozy. 73 ford lauder daily. the humidity is at 66% and we have an eight mile an hour wind coming out of the east. so a few showers over the ocean will start moving in along the beaches and maybe spreading father inland. nothing really heavy out there. we should be about 79 for a high. some places got there. some places got over there. 88 in the pines. 70 for the high in miami

again the position of el nio assisted in that whole process. as i mentioned earlier the el nio is on the move is actually going to migrate to the west and its fading a little bit closer to the shoreline for the south america the result is that the jet stream is finally buckled. we didn't see that in november we didn't see that in december all the sun january 1 we started seeing these occasional cooler periods but the storm track remains basically up and down had that huge snowfall just about a week and a half ago. all that when we have a deficit of 30 inches below normal now approaching 31. can any of the storms for instant poll up closer to ohio. the answer is yes it might happen to your probability is probably half and half between now and the end of winter. can a wipeout 30 probably not. let's put it all together what are we looking at for the rest of the winter temperatures are near normal the jet stream can buckle and give us the cold spells. thirty-year snowfall average is 66 inches be rigid and went for 65 are under. to go way under that
