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.

Op-ed: Religious publicity stunt is demeaning to West Virginians

In 1998 my mother, a survivor of the Nazi Holocaust, was appointed the founding chair of the West Virginia Commission on Holocaust Education. Her induction ceremony at the Governor’s Mansion remained a source of pride for the rest of her life. I grew up hearing her odyssey of a relatively normal childhood in Vienna. That life slowly deteriorated into the life of a refugee, of having to wear the yellow star, then of a life in hiding. Of the childhood terror of coming face-to-shin with shiny Nazi boots, of having to accept the reality of never again seeing her beloved father, murdered in Auschwitz.
