I'm meteorologist, Amy Wilmeth in the WRL severe weather center. Not a bad day today, a little bit more cloud cover today compared to yesterday, but still warm outside 85 in Raleigh today, 84 for the high end Durum and 85 for the high temperature in Fayetteville, the daylight hours should stay dry today. We will have a slim chance for a shower later on this evening. A better chance after sunset. It's about a 20% chance starting around seven o'clock or so. We'll be in the low eighties through 7 p.m. and then we're in the upper seventies by 8 p.m. down to 76 degrees by nine o'clock tonight. The reason for the slightly better chance for rain is this cold front that's approaching western North Carolina, the western half of the state has the best chance for some rain today. And then as this front gets close to us, we'll have a slight chance for a couple of showers, maybe an isolated storm late this evening. And tonight, it's about a 30% chance. Same thing Wednesday, an isolated shower or storm, many of you will stay dry, but a couple of spotty showers and storms. Wednesday, Thursday and Friday look dry and then rain chances go up as we head into the weekend. Saturday, a 40 to 50% chance for some scattered storms and same on Sunday for the rest of the day. Today. We'll have partly to mostly cloudy skies. We should stay dry through the daylight hours and then around 9, 10 o'clock tonight, some hit and miss showers and storms will be around. And then Wednesday morning looks fairly quiet to kick off the day with partly cloudy skies in the afternoon. The coverage isn't great, but we can't rule out an isolated shower or storm, especially in our southern counties. But many of you will stay dry. Now, as we get to the weekend, we'll have more moisture in place. Another system moves through and we have a better chance for some rain. Saturday morning looks dry which is good for race for the cure. We do expect rain once we get to the afternoon, scattered showers and storms around in the afternoon and evening on Saturday. Same thing on Sunday. We'll start with a little bit of rain in the morning though as well. Some light rain in the morning and some scattered showers and storms possible in the afternoon and evening on Sunday. So turning unsettled for the weekend, temperatures stay very warm for the next several days with highs in the eighties for the next seven days are best rain chances a couple of spotty showers or storms tonight and Wednesday, but a better chance for some of those scattered showers and storms over the weekend.

<p>Really good. All right. Thanks to everyone for being here. Um I'll come to you again with heavy heart uh to announce that Officer Joshua Iyer uh recently passed away as he succumbed to the injuries that he sustained this afternoon in the shooting. Um Officer Ire has been with C MP DS for six years. He was a graduate of the 178th recruit class. He's survived by his wife, Ashley, uh and his three year old son Andrew, um will always be indebted to Officer Ire for his bravery and his sacrifice for this profession. It was just last month. I was in this very room congratulating Officer Iron for becoming Officer of the month in April. And he certainly dedicated his life and gave his life to serve our citizens. And I ask that you will keep him and his family and all of the others that fell victim this afternoon, keep everyone in your prayers. And at this point, um I just wanted to announce that update on the case. Uh We're still actively investigating this. It's still gonna be AC MP D case. Uh I won't be taking any questions, but I do appreciate you all coming and have a good night.</p>
