NEWS COVERAGE YOU CAN COUNT ON. >> THE FIRST SHIPMENT OF COVID VACCINES FOR THE YOUNGEST AGE GROUP WILL ARRIVE HERE IN NORTH CAROLINA IN A MATTER OF HOURS. THANKS FOR STAYING UP LATE WITH US TONIGHT. I'M MATT TALHELM IN FOR JULIAN GRACE, CHILDREN AS YOUNG AS 6 MONTHS OLD WILL BE ABLE TO GET THEIR FIRST SHOT THIS WEEK. WRAL'S MONICA CASEY'S TALKING WITH DOCTORS ABOUT WHAT PARENTS NEED TO KNOW AND HOW TO GET YOUR CHILD THE VACCINE. SHE IS LIVE IN WAKE COUNTY FOR US. MONICA, WHAT DID YOU LEARN TONIGHT? >> WELL, THE NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES HAS A VACCINE FINDER ON ITS WEBSITE. THIS NEW YOUNGEST GROUP IS NOT REFLECTED THERE YET, BUT EVERY DOCTOR I SPOKE WITH TONIGHT SAYS IT'S IMPORTANT YOU MAKE AN APPOINTMENT FOR YOUR CHILD AS SOON AS YOU'RE ABLE TO. >> AND THEN PROBABLY BEING ASKED QUESTIONS 6 MONTHS >> WINDS. WHEN IS IT GOING TO BE OUR TURN TO BE ATTRITION? BRIAN BOWMAN TELLS ME PARENTS ARE READY TO HAVE THEIR CHILDREN IMMUNIZED. A NUMBER OF FAMILIES WITH KIDS, ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO MIGHT BE HIGH RISK WHO ARE STILL KIND OF QUARANTINING AND LIVING IN A LITTLE BIT OF A BOTTLE. WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT THE VACCINE BECAUSE THEY FEEL LIKE THEY CAN START ENJOYING THEIR REAL LIFE AGAIN. THE DOSE FOR CHILDREN BETWEEN 6 MONTHS AND 5 YEARS OLD IS SMALLER. AND DOCTOR BOWMAN SAYS THE SIDE EFFECTS TEND TO BE FEWER. ONE OF THE COOL THINGS ABOUT BEING A KID IS YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM AS A WHOLE LOT BETTER THAN ADULTS. SO RESPONSE TO VACCINES TEND TO BE REALLY PRETTY STRONGER. WRAL, MEDICAL CONTRIBUTOR, DOCTOR ALLEN MASK SAYS WHILE THE CURRENT VARIANT IS MILDER AND THERE ARE FEWER HOSPITALIZATIONS AND DEATHS IN THE YOUNGEST AGE GROUP, GETTING YOUR CHILD VACCINATED IS VITAL REALLY MORE CONCERNED AS WELL ABOUT THESE KIDS ARE GOING TO BE OUT AND ABOUT TODAY. KIDS TO CAMP FOR BRINGING THE DISEASE BACK HOME TO PARENTS AND GRANDPARENTS MASKS AS LAST WEEK'S AUTHORIZATION FROM THE FDA WAS A WELCOME ANNOUNCEMENT. THE SMALL KIDS YOU CAN'T WIN MAY ASK OF THE FIBER BUT DIFFICULT FOR THEM FOR THEM TO WEAR MASKS, HOFFMAN, THE SOCIAL DISTANCE TO DO ANY OF THAT KIND OF THINGS. BOTH DOCTORS RECOMMEND TALKING WITH YOUR CHILD'S PEDIATRICIAN ABOUT ANY QUESTIONS. OUR STAFF ARE EXCITED. WE HAVE T-SHIRTS ABOUT CRUSHING COVID. >> WE'RE ALL IN A FORGIVING THIS NEXT VACCINE TO PROTECT OUR OUR YOUNGEST PATIENTS IN OUR COMMUNITY. >> ACCORDING TO THE NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES, CHILDREN BETWEEN THE AGES OF 3, 5, CAN BE VACCINATED AT A PHARMACY JUST LIKE THIS ONE. BUT CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF 3 CANNOT BE VACCINATED BY A PHARMACIST. PARENTS WILL NEED TO TAKE THEM TO THEIR DOCTOR. INSTEAD.

Good morning. I'm Urologist Elizabeth Gardner. We are looking at a hot week ahead. Our highs will be in the eighties all the way through the weekend. Let's take a look at the big picture. We do have some severe weather across the middle of the country right there along the Mississippi Valley down through parts of Texas and Louisiana. We're going to see a cold front come here tomorrow, but it is not going to bring us that kind of severe weather. We may see a few isolated thunderstorms right now. We're not under any risk from the storm prediction center. We take a look at your cast and we'll see more cloud cover tomorrow. We're going to skip today because it's going to be beautiful with mainly clear skies. But late late tomorrow, we'll have the chance of a few isolated showers or maybe a thunderstorm or two. Notice as that cold front gets closer to us by eight or nine o'clock. Once we hit sunset, it's going to lose some of that daytime heating energy and it really fizzles out, but the front will stall to our south during the day, Wednesday and then start to lift north and as it does, it's like to spread more showers and thunderstorms across the area a little bit earlier in the day, starting right after lunchtime. So we'll have a better chance for showers and storms on Wednesday. Our temperatures of course are going to be mild. We have wind coming out of the southwest helping to warm us up. The winds are 5 to 10 MPH today with some gusts up to around 15 MPH. It's going to be a warm day today at lunchtime 78. But the humidity today stays fairly low. So it's still going to be great to, uh, spend your lunch hour outside, uh, eating out, uh, on a walk, whatever you can do to get out and enjoy some lunchtime, uh, outside 85 at Raleigh Durham in Fayetteville. Those are our high temperatures for today. Our monkey meter is still comfortable today, but even starting tomorrow, it begins to creep up. We'll have that chance for some showers and thunderstorms late Tuesday and into Wednesday, it's gonna bump it up and once it bumps up, it's gonna stay that way. So we get into the tolerable zone on Thursday and Friday. That means that you'll notice the humidity and our temperatures are going to stay pretty warm too. Let's, uh, take a look at that 24 hour or look at our temperature change and we're above normal. You can see the yellows and the oranges with us for much of the week. Our normal high is 76 and 88 is likely to be the warmest day of the week. We might squeak out a 90 degree day at RDU. If we do, it'll be the first time this year that we've hit 90 degrees.
