Pennsylvania New York New Jersey Maryland & Virginia could see severe storms in the mix Sunday

The weekend begins with the old back door cold front across Virginia and the onshore flow which is keeping things rather cloudy cool and raw. Unlike the last couple of days where the clouds did burn off for the most part today it will be more of a struggle. Satellite loops show clouds locked in well inland and it is unlikely that we will see these clouds burn off. This means temperatures today will likely stay in the 50s all day with readings closer to 50 near the coast. While the radars are not picking up much, there is spotty drizzle around and that will be the case for most of the day especially near the coast.

Judge finds frozen embryos are not divisible property in cancer survivor's case against ex-husband

FAIRFAX, Va. (AP) — A northern Virginia judge determined embryos are not property that can be divided up, rejecting a previous analysis by the court saying such fertilized eggs could be considered divisible “goods or chattel” based on 19th-century slave law. Nearly 10 months after closing arguments, Fairfax Circuit Court Judge Dontaè L. Bugg wrote in an opinion letter earlier this month that he would dismiss a cancer survivor’s partition lawsuit against her ex-husband — a legal action that one property owner can take against another. The former wife, Honeyhline Heidemann, sued Jason Heidemann over access to two embryos they...

Wes Moore Is Worried About Maryland’s Men

In his February State of the State address, Maryland governor Wes Moore made a surprising announcement: that this year, his administration would “begin implementing targeted solutions to uplift our men and boys.” It’s clear from the data that men are struggling. Male suicides are sharply up, men have retreated from the labor force, boys trail girls in education, and Maryland sends kids—the vast majority of them boys—into the juvenile-justice system at about twice the national rate. “On every single indicator we care about,” Moore recently told Washingtonian, “young men and boys are falling off.”
