Description: Republican legislative leaders on Wednesday set an $18.3 billion spending target for the fiscal year that starts in July, about $1.6 billion less than the budget proposed last week by Gov. Beverly Perdue.

The organizer of the campaign tells WRAL News that he's creating an organization with a board that seeks to carry out the fundraiser's primary goal: to throw "a world-class party." The group also hopes to give excess money to charities.

Hi, everyone. Meteorologist Anthony Baglione here. I hope you had a great weekend. Of course, like we were talking about yesterday on our shows, we had some rainfall to close it out. What we are looking at here as we get into tonight. And really probably the next couple of days, some often on rain chances, maybe a few thunderstorms, warmer temperatures as well. That's kind of our big focus. The next couple of days, there's no day. That's gonna be a total washout, total drench for us, I don't think, but it's just gonna be more of an unsettled pattern than what we have been used to here over the past couple of weeks. Here's a look at rain chances. So most of the day on Monday should be pretty quiet. I left it there at a 40% chance for us. Just a quick hit or miss shower, maybe a thunderstorm into the evening as let's say 6789 o'clock even. That is when I think we will have a better chance for rainfall pushing through. It could be a little bit wet for Monday evening plans. Tuesday morning could also be a bit unsettled. We get a break during the majority of the day itself on Tuesday and then another chance Tuesday night. So you kind of get that picture there where it's gonna be a little bit just kind of back and forth for us as far as rain chances we go into tonight. Futurecast really starts to lighten up. I do not think we're going to see much in the way of coverage overnight tonight. A lingering shower or two, even as we head into our Monday morning commute, we could see a few, there is eight o'clock in the morning. Just a lot of cloud cover hanging with us. I think we will see some peaks of sunshine tomorrow though, not straight sunshine, but I don't think it'll be straight cloud cover either. Lunchtime. We're still looking relatively calm. We go into the afternoon, a few bubble up showers and storms and then especially tomorrow evening, that coverage starts to fill in a bit and then we'll watch this kind of taper off late tomorrow night over the next seven days though. That is not our only rain chance. So we're looking at potentially an inch and a quarter there around the triangle to inches for some of our eastern counties. We're just looking at kind of continued rain chances along with some warmer temperatures. We're at 90 by Wednesday and that is a couple degrees cooler cooler than our forecast was calling for the past couple of days. I don't think we're going to quite get to the 9495 that we had originally and a little bit more cloud cover, a little bit more rain chances this week still going to be hot though for us. On Wednesday, 90 we go to 84 tomorrow, 87 Tuesday. By the time we get into Mother's Day of next weekend, 76. So a little bit cooler at this point, it looks like we could see a few isolated showers and storms into the afternoon. I'm optimistic about morning plans, brunch plans, things like that. But we will keep you covered here as we get closer to next weekend. Hard to believe. Are you gonna be Mother's Day?
