UPDATED, GUYS. ALL RIGHT, DAN, WE'LL SEE YOU AGAIN LATER IN THIS NEWSCAST. THANKS. WRAL IS WITH THE CANDIDATES TONIGHT. WE BEGIN WITH CULLEN BROWDER WHO WAS COVERING REPUBLICAN NOMINEE TED BUDD LIVE FROM DAVIE COUNTY. CULLEN, LOT OF SMILES TONIGHT. >> THERE WERE, ALTHOUGH THE PARTY IS OVER HERE IN DAVIE COUNTY NOW TED BUDD'S DECISIVE VICTORY CAME SO EARLY TONIGHT, HE WROTE. >> DONALD TRUMP'S ENDORSEMENT OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN PAC MONEY TO THE BIG PRIMARY WIN TONIGHT. HE ALSO SET THE STAGE OF WHAT WE CAN EXPECT IN THE NEXT PHASE OF THIS CAMPAIGN. >> BECAUSE OF THE BIDEN AGENDA, FARMERS ARE FACING SKYROCKETING INPUT PRICES AND THAT RAISES PRICES FOR EVERYONE TRYING TO PUT FOOD ON THE DINING ROOM TABLE. AND CHERI BEASLEY WILL BE NOTHING MORE THAN A RUBBER STAMP FOR EVERYTHING THAT IS WRONG WITH JOE BIDEN SPOKE AND WROTE POLICIES. >> SO I ASKED THE CAMPAIGN SPOKESPERSON IF TED BUDD WOULD COMMIT TO DEBATING A CHERI BEASLEY, WHICH HE DID NOT HIS PRIMARY OPPONENTS. THE ANSWER WAS NO, COULD NO COMMITMENTS. ALL OPTIONS ARE OPEN. GERALD, WE'LL ALL WAIT TO SEE WHAT THE STRATEGY IS MOVING FORWARD. CULLEN BROWDER LIVE IN DAVIE COUNTY. THANK YOU, COLIN. >> WELL, AND TONIGHT, FORMER CHIEF JUSTICE SHERRY BEASLEY MADE HISTORY AS THE FIRST BLACK WOMAN TO WIN THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINATION FOR U.S. SENATE IN NORTH CAROLINA. >> AND THAT'S WHY I'M SO PROUD. >> TO BE YOUR NOMINEE FOR THE UNITED STATES SENATE. WASHINGTON IS DIVIDED. PEOPLE HERE ARE NOT. WHILE WASHINGTON FOCUSES ON SPECIAL INTERESTS AND CORPORATE CRONIES, THE PEOPLE OF NORTH CAROLINA ARE FOCUSING ON WORKING FOR OUR FAMILIES AND STRENGTHENING OUR COMMUNITIES. >> JUSTICE BEASLEY PREVIOUSLY WORKED AS A PUBLIC DEFENDER. JUDGE, ASSOCIATE JUSTICE AND CHIEF JUSTICE OF THE NORTH CAROLINA SUPREME COURT. FORMER GOVERNOR PAT MCCRORY MADE HIS RUN FOR THE U.S. SENATE NOMINATION, BUT IT DIDN'T END THE WAY HE WANTS. HE LOST TO TED BUDD WHO WAS ENDORSED BY PRESIDENT TRUMP. >> AND TONIGHT WRAL'S KEELY ARTHUR IS AT THE BOOK OR A WATCH PARTY KEELY. A LOT OF DISAPPOINTMENT THERE TONIGHT. >> A LOT OF DISAPPOINTMENT BECAUSE THIS WAS A HUGE LOSS. MCCOURY GAVE HIS CONCESSION SPEECH EARLIER TONIGHT HERE IN CHARLOTTE. NOW DURING THAT SPEECH, HE MENTIONED THE FACT THAT BUT ROUTINELY CALLED HIM A REPUBLICAN IN NAME ONLY OR A RHINO. >> HE SAID THAT COULD NOT BE FURTHER FROM THE TRUTH. AND HE BLAMED THAT PARTLY ON HIS LAWS. NOW IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE THE BUD CAMPAIGN ALSO CALLED MY COREY'S OWN SUPPORTERS RHINOS AS WELL. IT'S LIKELY THEY WILL NEED AND WANT TO WIN THOSE VOTERS SUPPORT TO COME THE GENERAL ELECTION. AND TONIGHT MCCOURY TOOK TIME TO REMIND HIS SUPPORTERS OF THE POWER THEY NOW HOLD. >> AND I WANT TO LET YOU KNOW THAT YOU HAVE LEVERAGE IN THIS RACE COMING OUT. YOU HAVE LEVERAGE BECAUSE OUR PARTY'S GOT TO RECOGNIZE YOU. AS HE AND COMMON SENSE CONSERVATIVE SLYKE. I AM. YOU ARE A COMMON SENSE CONSERVATIVE AND I THINK IN THE SENATE ELECTION, YOU'VE GOT TO DEMAND COMMON SENSE CONSERVATISM, MATURITY AND PROFESSIONALISM. >> COREY WAS VERY NONCOMMITTAL ABOUT HIS FUTURE IN NORTH CAROLINA POLITICS. BUT TO COLLINS POINT MCCOURY DID SAY THAT HE HOPES, BUT IN BEASLEY WILL BE IT IS IMPORTANT TO MENTION THAT. BUT NEVER ENTERED INTO A DEBATE DURING THIS PRIMARY ELECTION. AND COREY WENT ON RECORD SAYING THAT BUT LACKED COURAGE BECAUSE OF THAT. I'LL SEND IT BACK TO YOU. >> KEELY ARTHUR WATCHING THOSE

I'm meteorologist K Campbell in the wr a severe weather center starting a new week on Monday. So here's what to expect as you gear up for the new week. Rain chances will be climbing, especially Tuesday and Wednesday. We are going to get a nice little break from the heat this week. So enjoy the spring like weather while it's here with us no more nineties on our seven day forecast, I would say the best days to be out and about do anything outside look like they're gonna be on Monday and Thursday of this week. So here's this set up. We've got a lot of moisture and rain falling in parts of Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas. Right now, we're going to see all the moisture from this system and some of the energy make it to North Carolina starting Monday night, Monday during the day, things should be dry. We've got this area of high pressure overhead but we will begin to see an increase in cloud cover throughout the day. And then late Monday night, we'll see a warm front lift through the area that could generate some spotty light showers overnight into Tuesday. And then during the day. Tuesday, we've got more lift in the atmosphere. It's a cloudy day, a much cooler day and we should see rain on and off throughout the day. But rain is likely you'll at least get a period of rain. Tuesday. More than likely it's, there should still be some breaks in the rain at least. And then some thunderstorms could be mixed in as well. This is as far out as that high resolution model goes right now, but we've got a nice break from the heat coming our way. 79 is our normal high. This time of year, we're going to be near or slightly above normal most days. The exception is Tuesday with the highest rain chances, temperatures will be a little cooler just 73 for the high tonight. It's a cool night, really, comfortably cool. Enjoy it while you can. It's probably one of our last ones of the season. Upper forties to lower fifties across the area tonight. 50 Raleigh 49 in Rocky Mount. And for your Monday forecasts, ties are in the upper seventies for Roxboro and South Hill. 81. The high in Durham, Raleigh Rocky Mountain, Southern Pines, 82 degrees in Fayetteville and Goldsboro. Your seven day forecast looking pretty nice. But we've got rain chances coming our way Tuesday and we'll see some scattered storms on Wednesday as well. It's about a 60% chance Wednesday, but an 80% chance Tuesday, Thursday, rain chances are lower at just 20%. 82 degrees and partly cloudy Friday late in the day into Saturday, we could see some scattered storms move in. Not looking like a washout though. It does look like we'll have a drier into next weekend. 84 partly cloudy next Sunday.
