AFTER THAT, WE SHOULD EXPECT IT TO TAPER OFF. THE SCENARIO WE ARE SEEING IN THE DEEP SOUTH WILL NOT PLAY OUT FOR US HERE. WE COULD HAVE A FEW ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS THIS EVENING BETWEEN 5:00 AND 6:00 AND 8:00 AND 9:00 WHEN WE HAVE ISOLATED WIND DAMAGE. TEMPERATURES ARE LIKELY TO BE WARM. WE WILL DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN TOMORROW. MORE ON THE STORMS HEADED OUR WAY TOMORROW COMING UP. >>> THERE ARE PASSIONATE PEOPLE ON BOTH SIDES OF THE VACCINE DEBATE. TODAY A HOUSE LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE IS MEETING AND PEOPLE WHO HAVE OPPOSED ANTI-VANS LEGISLATION HAVE NOT BEEN HER. ONE MAN CAME UP WITH A CREATIVE COUNTERPROTEST. AMANDA LAMB IS THERE WITH WHAT IS GOING ON THERE. >> Reporter: JEFF, I WILL STEP OUT OF THE WAY SO WE CAN SHOW YOU THIS PROTEST OUT HERE. SEVERAL HUNDRED PEOPLE HAVE BEEN OUT HERE FOR SEVERAL HOURS THIS MORNING IN THE HEAT TO VOICE THEIR SUPPORT FOR HOUSE BILL 558. THAT WOULD PREVENT LAWMAKERS FROM ANY LEGISLATION THAT ALLOWS BUSINESSES TO REQUIRE THE VACCINE ON THEIR EMPLOYEES. THERE IS ONE MAN IN FAVOR OF EVERYONE GETTING VACCINATED. HE IS SENDING UP PLANE UP WITH A BANNER OVER THIS RALLY. HE SAID FOR THE SAKE OF PEOPLE LIKE HIMSELF, EVERYONE SHOULD GET IT. THE BANNER READS, WANT TO FEEL FREE? GET A VACCINE. THE PROTESTERS HERE ON THE GROUND DISAGREE WITH THIS. THEY BELIEVE THAT REQUIRING VACCINES IN ANY CIRCUMSTANCES IS NOT ONLY A HEALTH RISK, BUT A VIOLATION OF THEIR INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS AND FREEDOM. >> WE WANT TO KEEP BODY AUTONOMY. IF YOU ARE FORCED TO PUT SOMETHING IN YOUR BODY WITHOUT YOUR CONSENT, I MEAN, THAT LITERALLY IS GERMANY. THIS IS BASIC HUMAN RIGHTS WE ARE TALKING ABOUT. >> I FEEL LIKE BUSINESSES SHOULD BE FREE TO PROTECT THEIR EMPLOYEES AND CREATE AN ENVIRONMENT THAT IS GOOD FOR CUSTOMERS. I AM STRONGLY OPPOSED TO BILLS THAT RESTRICT THAT. >> Reporter: ONE OF THE GROUPS OUT HERE IS HEALTH AND EMPOWERMENT. THEY BELIEVE VACCINES HAVE HISTORICALLY CAUSED SERIOUS HEALTH PROBLEMS AND EVEN DEATH IN SOME CHILDREN. WE SPOKE TO SOME OF THOSE FAMILIES TODAY AND WE WILL BRING YOU THE STORIES LATER. THIS GROUP SAYS THEY PLAN TO BE OUT HERE, HEAT OR NOT, PROTESTING AND CARRYING SIGNS. THEY HAVE SEVERAL SPEAKERS THAT HAVE BEEN OUT HERE TALKING AND ALSO CHANTING HOUSE BILL 558,

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.
