ROLLING THROUGH HERE IN A >>> WHAT DOES AGE HAVE TO DO WITH CORONAVIRUS. WARNING SPRING BREAKER THAT YOU ARE SUSCEPTIBLE TOO. RUB RUBIO IS GENERALLY RIGHT. ONE TWEET CAUGHT MITT POLITIFACT'S EYE. >> DO CHILDREN AND YOUNGER ADULTS ACCOUNT FOR MORE THAN A THIRD OF CORONAVIRUS HOSPITALIZATIONS, THAT IS WHAT SENATOR MARCO RUBIO SAID, 38% OF PATIENTS IS UNDER 35 YEARS OLD. RUBIO'S STATE WAS COLLEGE AND HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT I DON'TS CROWDED FLORIDA BEACHES, POLITIFACT COULD NOT FIND EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT RUBIO'S CLAIM. TAKE A LOOK AT THIS CHART, IT SHOWS THE NUMBER OF CASES IN AMERICA DOCUMENTED BY THE CDC. THESE NUMBERS ARE FROM MARCH 16th SO THEY ARE A WEEK OLD, THEY COULD CHANGE. BUT THEY SHOW THAT PEOPLE AGES 0 TO 44 ACCOUNT FOR ONLY 20% OF HOSPITALIZATIONS. THIS DOES NOT MEAN YOUNGER PEOPLE AREN'T VULNERABLE, THEY CERTAINLY ARE, BUT THEY HAVEN'T BEEN HOSPITALIZED AS MUCH AS SENATOR RUBIO SAID. THE TRUTH METER RATES HIS CLAIM, MOSTLY FALSE.

I'm meteorologist, Elizabeth Gardner. It's going to be an interesting week for us. We're going to have a very summerlike pattern. It's going to be hot and humid, but a lot of cloud cover and a good chance for afternoon and evening storms. Some of those likely to be severe. We don't have as great a chance today, but it's not a zero chance that chance goes up for the next several days as we have a level one risk for both Tuesday and Wednesday, that chance may go up even higher on Thursday. Let's take a look. You can see a cluster of thunderstorms coming through Tennessee toward the mountains of North Carolina. We're going to see some of that rolling through here later on this, uh, this afternoon and evening, uh, check in Futurecast, heading out the door. We've had fairly quiet conditions. Um, you can see a little bit of sun there at lunch time and that will set the stage for a better chance for storms. Any sunshine that we see will energize the atmosphere and, uh, make it an even better recipe for scattered storms you can see there, uh, between three and five o'clock scattered thunderstorms that continues on through the evening, past midnight, tomorrow morning, we may end up with a few isolated showers and then some scattered thunderstorms on through the afternoon. This version of Futurecast doesn't show as much coverage but previous runs certainly have. So we are looking certainly at that chance for some scattered storms. We have that chance all the way through Friday. The biggest event may come with a cold front late Thursday into early Friday and we'll be watching the timeline for that gets closer. Highest this afternoon, mid to upper eighties. 84 in Raleigh, 83 in Durham, 88 in Fayetteville. Our muggy meter is climbing. It seems so early for this. We have yet to hit seventies with our dew 0.70 dew point really feels sticky. It's going to feel like the middle of July or August for us by mid to late week. But by Friday, we see much cooler air coming in behind Thursdays front and our due points drop back into the fifties. That's going to feel so much better. But 87 tomorrow, 90 Wednesday, 88 Thursday, that front though even though it may bring some humidity and some storms with it behind it, it will deliver some cooler drier air. Saturday looks phenomenal. At 74 morning, lows are back into the fifties Mother's Day. Just a small chance of thunderstorms otherwise very pleasant.
