[00:00:01]PEOPLE’S HOLIDAY PLANS.

[00:00:02]WE DO HAVE SOME RAIN MOVING THROUGH OVER THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND.

[00:00:06]DAVE.

[00:00:08]PERFECT TIMING.

[00:00:09]YEAH.

[00:00:09]ISN’T IT ALWAYS?

[00:00:10]YEAH.

[00:00:11]WHEN EVERYBODY WANTS IT TO BE SUNNY.

[00:00:14]AND HERE WE ARE.

[00:00:15]WE HAD SOME BIG STORMS EARLIER TODAY.

[00:00:16]NOTHING SEVERE.

[00:00:17]BUT WE HAD SOME STRONG STORMS AND HEAVY RAINS.

[00:00:20]A LITTLE HAIL IN SOME OF THOSE STORMS, BUT IT WASN’T TOO SEVERE.

[00:00:24]IN FACT, WASN’T SEVERE AT ALL.

[00:00:25]AND WE STILL GOT SOME SHOWERS OUT THERE.

[00:00:27]RIGHT NOW YOU CAN SEE OVER GREENSBORO SOME SHOWERS DOWN INTO RANDOLPH COUNTY.

[00:00:32]ALSO SOME MODERATE RAINS DOWN OVER DAVIDSON COUNTY AT THIS HOUR TOO.

[00:00:35]DOWN TOWARDS DENTON, JUST OUT TO THE SOUTH OF LEXINGTON RIGHT NOW.

[00:00:38]THESE ARE ALL GOING TO PUSH ON OFF TO THE EAST WITH TIME TO GET INTO AREAS OF GUILFORD, RANDOLPH COUNTY.

[00:00:43]IF THEY HOLD TOGETHER.

[00:00:44]AS WE GO ON INTO THIS EVENING.

[00:00:46]RAINFALL TOTALS PRETTY IMPRESSIVE ACROSS THE REGION, IN SOME PARTS AN INCH AND A HALF OVER PORTIONS OF STOKES COUNTY.

[00:00:52]EARLIER OVER TOWARDS YADKINVILLE, JUST SOUTH OF THERE, A LITTLE OVER 2.5IN OF RAIN HAD A FLOOD ADVISORY EARLIER THAT IS NO LONGER IN EFFECT, TWO INCHES DOWN INTO PARTS OF DAVIE COUNTY TWO AND THEN SOME LIGHTER AMOUNTS.

[00:01:03]IT’S PRETTY SCATTERED AS FAR AS SOME OF THE HEAVIER CELLS WERE EARLIER TODAY.

[00:01:06]HERE’S THE STATE AS A WHOLE.

[00:01:08]YOU CAN SEE THE STORMS NOW JUST PUSHING INTO WAKE COUNTY, INTO THE RALEIGH AREA.

[00:01:12]AND THEN THE CELLS WE TALKED ABOUT IN DAVIDSON COUNTY AND STILL SOME SHOWER ACTIVITY THAT’S PRETTY SCATTERED BACK OUT TO OUR SOUTH AND WEST THROUGH THE REST OF THE OVERNIGHT.

[00:01:20]TONIGHT, WE ARE NO LONGER IN A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM RISK FOR THE OVERNIGHT HOURS, JUST SOME GENERAL THUNDERSTORMS STILL MIGHT POP UP, BUT I THINK THEY’LL BE A LITTLE FURTHER TO OUR SOUTH AS WE GO ON INTO THE OVERNIGHT TEMPERATURES.

[00:01:30]AND I GRANT YOU, IT’S A LITTLE MUGGY OUT THERE ARE INTO THE 60S RIGHT NOW, 64 IN BURLINGTON, 68 WINSTON-SALEM 59 UP IN SPARTA AND LOW 60S BACK IN BOONE.

[00:01:39]DESPITE THE RAINS AND STORMS, WE STILL GOT TO 91 OFFICIALLY AT THE AIRPORT.

[00:01:43]AND THAT WAS JUST A LITTLE BEFORE 1:00 THIS AFTERNOON.

[00:01:46]NOT A RECORD, THOUGH.

[00:01:47]96 IS THE RECORD IN 1917.

[00:01:49]THAT’S FOUR DAYS IN A ROW THAT WE’VE HIT THE 90 PLUS DEGREE MARK THIS WEEK, 92.

[00:01:54]IT WAS IN BURLINGTON.

[00:01:55]SOME AREAS GOT THE RAINS A LITTLE EARLIER, SO THEY DIDN’T QUITE GET THE CHANCE TO WARM UP INTO THE 90S, ESPECIALLY BACK OUT IN THE FOOTHILLS.

[00:02:02]HERE’S LAST WEEK’S DROUGHT MONITOR.

[00:02:04]YOU SEE, EVERYBODY WAS IN THE EXTREME ZONE FOR DROUGHT IS PRETTY BAD.

[00:02:08]AND NOW IT’S GOTTEN WORSE.

[00:02:10]EXCEPTIONAL DROUGHT CONDITIONS OVER PORTIONS OF WESTERN WILKES COUNTY UP IN TOWARDS THE MOUNTAIN COUNTIES, TOO.

[00:02:15]AND THAT’S JUST BECAUSE WE JUST HAVEN’T HAD ANY RAIN TODAY.

[00:02:18]THE FIRST DAY WE’VE HAD ANY DECENT RAIN ACROSS THE AREA.

[00:02:22]SO THAT EXCEPTIONAL DROUGHT HAS NOW DEVELOPED IN THE FOOTHILLS.

[00:02:25]NO RAINFALL AND THE HOT 90S HAVE ALLOWED THOSE LAKE LEVELS TO LOWER THE SOILS DRIER.

[00:02:29]THAT’S PROBABLY WHY WE SAW SOME FLOODING BACK ON YANCEY YADKIN COUNTY EARLIER TODAY IS BECAUSE THE GROUND IS JUST SO HARD IT COULDN’T SOAK IN A LOT OF THAT RAIN DAILY.

[00:02:38]SCATTERED SHOWERS OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS SHOULD HELP PUT A LITTLE DENT INTO THAT DROUGHT CONDITION WE HAVE OUT THERE.

[00:02:45]HERE WE HAVE OUR FRONT.

[00:02:46]IT’S VERY SLOW MOVER.

[00:02:47]IT’S BEEN DRIFTING TO THE SOUTH THROUGH THE DAY TODAY, AND IT WILL CONTINUE TO DRIFT TO THE SOUTH AS WE GO THROUGH THE NEXT 6 TO 12 HOURS.

[00:02:55]AND THEN HIGH PRESSURE IS GOING TO GET IN ITS TRADITIONAL LITTLE ZONE WHERE WEDGES IN SOME NORTHEAST FLOW HERE TOMORROW OFF THE ATLANTIC.

[00:03:02]THAT’S GOING TO KEEP OUR TEMPERATURES FAIRLY COOL.

[00:03:04]SO WE’LL GO WITH TEMPERATURES IN THE MORNING AROUND 61.

[00:03:07]STILL A DECENT SHOWER CHANCE THAT WE SEE A BIT OF A LULL IN THE SHOWERS TOMORROW.

[00:03:11]AND HIGHS ONLY IN THE MID AND UPPER 60S IN THE PIEDMONT, ALSO INTO THE FOOTHILLS.

[00:03:15]BETTER CHANCES FOR RAIN WITH IMPACT HOURS IN THE FOOTHILLS FOR TOMORROW MORNING IN THE MOUNTAINS AS WELL, WHERE THEY’LL GET IN THE LOW 60S TOMORROW AFTERNOON.

[00:03:23]HERE WE ARE FRIDAY AS WE GO ON INTO THE OVERNIGHT.

[00:03:26]STILL A FEW SCATTERED SHOWERS AS WE GET ON INTO TOMORROW AFTERNOON.

[00:03:29]A BIT OF A LULL IN THE ACTIVITY.

[00:03:30]BY THE TIME WE GET INTO THE EVENING, WE SEE MORE SHOWERS STARTING TO CREEP BACK UP BEFORE MIDNIGHT TOMORROW NIGHT, AND THEN SATURDAY WE SEE SOME MORE SHOWERS IN HERE AND THAT WILL CONTINUE ON IN THROUGH THE DAY, SATURDAY OFF AND ON.

[00:03:41]AND SOME OF THOSE EVEN COULD BE A LITTLE ON THE HEAVY SIDE.

[00:03:44]HERE’S OUR SEVEN DAY FORECAST FOR YOU.

[00:03:46]AN IMPACT DAY FOR SATURDAY FOR THAT.

[00:03:47]GOOD CHANCE OF RAIN IN HERE.

[00:03:49]TEMPERATURES RETURN TO THE LOW 80S FOR MEMORIAL DAY MONDAY AND MOST OF NEXT WEEK WITH SOME SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORM CHANCES.

[00:03:59]FIRST WARNING RADAR.

[00:04:00]THE TRIAD’S ONLY LOCAL LIVE
