and democratic races are statistically too close to call. I'm Steve Handelsman
NBC News at the White House. Six weeks after unofficially announcing her
candidacy for New York's US Senate seat, two moving vans arrive at Hillary
Clinton's new 1.7 million dollar Westchester County home. Mrs. Clinton is
expected at the House Wednesday to begin emptying the boxes. First Lady hopes to
move in by the end of next week and President Clinton is planning to visit
there at the same time. Mrs. Clinton is the likely Democratic nominee for the
Senate seat opened by Daniel Patrick Moynihan's retirement. She says she plans
to cut back on White House duties and spend most of her time in New York State
this year. Two Algerian men arrested in Boston last week of peer-for-detention
hearings in federal courts today. Diwali Mohammed Abdel-Aziz was charged with
illegal entry into the United States. Lahawari Haoud was charged with possession
of an illegal green card. Haoud and Aziz were picked up as part of a nationwide
probe of people who might have ties with Ahmed Rassam, the Algerian national
accused of trying to smuggle bomb-making materials into Washington State from
Canada in December. Federal prosecutors haven't yet said whether the two men
arrested in Boston had ties with Hassan Rassam, but Aziz's attorney argues her
class nationality is playing too big a factor. Unfair. It was a mistake and that
it was unfair, obviously. I mean if he wasn't Algerian he would not have been
swept up in that, obviously. Well turning to local weather now we had some nice
sunshine today but those winds weren't too pleasant. Here's meteorologist Phil
Lanna to tell us what we can expect when we wake up tomorrow morning. Phil? Thanks
a lot Scott. Right now still dealing with some breezy conditions across the area.
Some areas across the lower Columbia Basin still reporting gusts up to 30
miles per hour, but the overall census is the winds are now starting to calm
down and we're looking at much nicer conditions as we move into tomorrow for
tonight's wake up or that is tomorrow morning's wake up. It'll be a fairly
chilly start but with mostly sunny skies everybody will warm up quickly. Starting
off at 31 in Yakima, 34 in the Tri-Cities. I'll be back in a couple
minutes to take a complete look at the rest of this work weekend. Maybe a sneak
peek at this weekend coming up but first in the leadoff spot tonight it's Mr.
Kevin Uretsky. Thanks Phil. You know Florida State wide receiver Peter Warwick
may not be the best person in college football today. Tonight rather he gave
those who believe he's the best player a lot of ammunition for argument. Let's
find out what happened in the Sugar Bowl. Florida State taking on Virginia Tech
for the whole bowl of wax and this what turned out to be 59 yard punt return
for Warwick. One of three touchdowns he scored on the night as the Seminoles
win the national championship by beating Virginia Tech 46 to 29. Now stay tuned
coming up the Sun Kings play hoops with the hoops in the Sun Dome plus the
Sonics and Blazers on the road and another roster move by the Americans.
Grab some licorice, the red not that yucky black. Enjoy and stay tuned. Kevin
Muller joins me to go back to back in about 15 minutes. Scott? All right Kevin
thanks. Slane State trooper Jim Saunders is being honored in a couple of new ways

The new memorial is in the works tonight to mark the spot where State Trooper Jim Saunders was shot to death last October.
It's just one of many ways the community is remembering the fallen trooper. Since Trooper Saunders death this corner at 28th and Lewis has been filled with flowers and cards.
Today most of the wind blown items were taken away but later this week a permanent monument will take their place.
I hope it serves as a reminder and a memory of Trooper Saunders that he gave his life in the service of the state and of this community.
The memorial will be dedicated during a special ceremony on Friday.
The public is invited and the ceremony will be in front of the Bruce Lee Chapel at 2pm.
Trooper Saunders is also being remembered in another way. It's a project that will be an added attraction to the playground of dreams in Columbia Park.
The blueprints for a new train that will chug around the playground were presented this morning.
Organizers plan to raise about $80,000 for the project.
We'll have the main loading platform over by the playground of dreams. It will go around the lake.
It will go across the recently placed bridge at the pond and go across there. It will go around the special effects train tunnel.
The train will provide 12 minute rides around the playground. It will be called the J&S Dreamland Express in memory of the fallen trooper.
It will carry about 45 to 50 people at a time. Rides will only cost you either a quarter or 50 cents. The train should be completed in May.
Well, it sounds like we're in for more sunshine tomorrow, but how long will it last?
We'll find out next from meteorologist Phil Lanham. But first, here's a live look outside from the Autoplex Tower Cam in Pasco.

Local and up to the next.
Phil, our weather got a lot better today with that sunshine, but those winds really kicked in. And tonight, they're making it feel really chilly out.
Yeah, some areas are seeing some gusty winds up to about 30 miles per hour, most areas across the lower Columbia Basin. And with that, the wind chills have knocked down the temperature, at least feeling somewhat cooler outside.
But don't worry, it's going to be a very pleasant day for tomorrow with once again, temperatures almost 20 degrees above normal after some areas got into the lower fifties for daytime highs today.
Let's go ahead and take a look outside from the eye of the Autoplex tower camera. Wobbly night as we're still reporting some winds in the Tri-Cities gust up to about 30 miles per hour.
But everybody else, as I said, starting to calm down and relax a little bit. And with that, temperatures cooling off, the skies are most definitely clearing out as we'll see on the satellite.
Let's go ahead and get this moving. 37 right now in Yakima, the dew point at 28. That means the humidity fairly low at 70 percent.
We could see some low lying fog developing throughout the valleys and the Columbia Basin. But don't worry, I don't think it's going to be a concern for tomorrow morning as a lot of areas will keep some breezy conditions.
And with that, we don't expect too much fog to really develop in the Tri-Cities. Still fairly warm. Most of that's due because of the winds west to southwest winds at 22 miles per hour.
The humidity at 79 percent. Some more temperatures throughout the Pacific Northwest. 41 in Bellingham, 42 in Seattle, Hoquiam at 44 degrees with the colder temperatures.
Most definitely in the central and eastern part of the state, Ohmack at 23, 32 in Spokane and 33 in Pullman. Satellite showing some weak clouds moving through all of that associated with a high pressure that's trying to push in and bringing in a little warmer air.
And that's making the atmosphere a little unsettled. So we will have some clusters of clouds move through throughout the night. But tomorrow will be very nice.
Shower activity really limited to the foothills and into the Blue Mountains. Nothing to worry about there. Those showers coming to an end and the other showers, snow showers staying on the west side of the Cascades.
So the forecast for tonight, a little breezy, but those winds calming down throughout the night. 31 in Yakima, 34 in the Tri-Cities and Walla Walla who will deal with some clouds throughout the night.
For tomorrow, nice warm day with mostly sunny skies across the area up to 48 in the Tri-Cities, 46 in Pendleton, Yakima, 45 in Ellensburg, 43. Five day forecast real quickly taking a look at the weekend and actually carrying it through the weekend.
We'll have showers moving back in after another gorgeous day on Thursday. Showers scattered throughout the weekend with temperatures in Yakima staying in the mid to lower 40s.
For the Tri-Cities, also look for some showers to move in across the weekend. But by the end of the weekend, we should see the sun come back out on Saturday up to 51 on Friday.
Another warm day there and then for the most part staying in the 40s each of the other days. So really not too bad of a forecast for a few scattered showers.
Alright, sounds good. Thanks Phil. We'll have next in sports, why the sugar was sweet for the Seminoles and sour for the Hokies. Plus hoops ranging from the High Schoolers to the Pros including the Sonics. Looking to break their five game losing streak as they played the Rockets.
Stay tuned. Gavin's going back to back next.

Good evening everyone. This evening's Sugar Bowl was indeed sweet for Florida State. Tonight the Seminoles beat Virginia Tech to win the National College Football Championship and put some very sweet icing on the cake that is Coach Bobby Baden's first ever undefeated season.
The Superdome, the setting, came in before the Kingdome and will be around once the Kingdome goes kablooie. Florida State led 28-7 in the first half, but look at the Hokies coming back.
Andre Kendrick with the third quarter touchdown run that put Votsek up not by two but by one. 29-28. Bobby Baden though had Peter Warwick which meant he got the win.
Warwick his third touchdown on the night, two catches and a punt return. Take another look at what was simply a terrific catch. He's not a great guy, but he is a great player. 46-29. Florida State.
To hoops now in the Akamah Sun Kings haven't won a title yet, but they've been playing great ball lately when he's seven to their last 11. Tonight they took on Grand Rapids at the Dome.
This team's been winning with some strong inside play and it showed tonight beginning with that man Art Long making the nice moves around the rack and he's...
All said and done, tonight's Mid Valley League opener at the Falcons may turn out to be one of the best...
