The Washington Waterfront Underground Railroad Museum is housed in a refurbished railroad car near Little Washington's civic center.

Washington has always been near and dear to my heart. Uh, first of all is my hometown. Um, it's the town of my ancestors. And so even when I moved away to go to college in New York City and I, my teaching career kept me away for over 40 years. It was so great to get back. Well, we started the museum in 2016. So we've been open about two years and six months. I grew up hearing copious amounts of stories and at the time when you're a child, you hear the older adults sitting around telling these stories, they just seem like stories and finding the research to verify and document those old stories were true. It was absolutely mind blowing because now it gave credibility to those people who were telling you the best they knew, how about how people lived during those times, the genius that they had, the creativity that they had, the motivation to help themselves get free. I think that's been the most unique part of the history and research that I've uncovered.

Hello, everyone. I'm meteorologist, Mike Mays in the WRL severe weather center. With your forecast update for this Friday night, we have about a 20% chance of a shower through the evening and for most of the night, so don't be surprised if you're out for dinner and you run into an isolated shower. That's the possibility toward daybreak. As you can see, rain, chances do increase just a bit. Now for the day tomorrow, it will be a warm one but not hot. Like today, we had 90 out at RDU lunch tomorrow at 75. Our forecast high 82 partly to mostly cloudy skies. It's the abundant amount of cloud cover that should reduce the heat. Now, if we tend to have a little bit more sunshine, it could slip past that. 82 but it shouldn't be as hot as what we had today. And tomorrow's hit and miss showers and storms. 30 to 40% chance in the morning, 40 to 50% in the afternoon, 60% actually as we head into tomorrow night. So we have needed rain ahead. It's been very dry over the past month or so. There is rain in the forecast, it's not going to be a washout weekend. There will be hit and miss showers and storms and the nature of the way rain is this time of year and into the summer, it's more hit and miss. So you may see rain at your house, but your neighbor a mile down the road may not see anything. So we have 50% chance of rain tomorrow. That doesn't mean you're going to see rain. At least there's a 50% chance there is going to be rain in your neighborhood. 60% Saturday night, 50% on Sunday, I think Monday is going to be the day. We have the greatest likelihood, especially Monday night with a 70% chance for showers and storms down to 30 on Tuesday, 40% chance for showers and thunderstorms on Wednesday. So here is the rainfall potential at least through Tuesday, both the American model and the European model show about a three quarter inch of rainfall potential during Saturday, Sunday, Monday and through Tuesday night at 11 o'clock. So it's a pretty good chance that we'll have some decent rain. So tomorrow, anywhere from 82 at Rocky Mountain, Raleigh, 84 in Fayetteville, cooler at Boone 67 there, 81 at Wilmington for Sunday, we expect our highs to be in the low eighties locally still in the sixties at Boone, about 80 in Asheville, 81 at Wilmington, 73 at NAGS head and then on Monday, our highs will be in the low to mid eighties. Still showers and storms in the area. So our forecast tonight isolated a shower this evening, light showers and a possible storm at daybreak lows will be in the low to mid sixties. Our highs tomorrow will be in the eighties. Although our northern counties may stay in the seventies again. Showers and storms are in the forecast, some in the morning, some in the afternoon as well. Seven day forecast, check it out over the next four days. We stay in the eighties. But by the time we get to Wednesday and Thursday, we could be back in the nineties. Could be quite toasty on Wednesday with a high at 94. That's our forecast update for this Friday night. Have a wonderful weekend. I'll see you on Monday.

Protesters marched around UNC on Friday morning. Their nearly-two mile loop stopped traffic and interrupted students daily activities.

Barricades like these are usually put up during moments of unrest during protests, but they were unnecessary today. As a group of pro Palestinian protesters made their way through campus peacefully albeit loudly to get their message carrying signs of support for the Palestinian people impacted by the Israel Hamas war. Roughly 100 protesters made their way through unc's campus. They want the university to pull out any investments in Israeli businesses. It's unknown if us $5.2 billion endowment invests in any companies associated with Israel. It's what led to unrest on UN CS campus. Earlier this week, law enforcement and protesters clashed at an encampment. We're not here to destroy anything. We're here to get a message out. We're here to pressure people. We're here to make a change. Eri Mitchell is yet to see happen, but he feels this group is making an impact. I believe that seeing Palestinian Children holding up signs saying please continue is a green light for us to keep showing solidarity, to keep showing that we're out here. Friday's protests brought the group through U C's campus, stopping traffic and peacefully interrupting daily activities for students taking graduation photos near the old well, which did draw some support from those passing by. You hear other cars honking? Of course not. I do think that we're at some inflection point. This UN C student wanted to remain anonymous. He's at odds internally battling against the school. He'll get a diploma from in a couple of years. I don't know. I think I'm proud to be a student here. I think the students are showing up, but I can't say that I'm proud, I'm definitely not proud of UN C and the system and what they're doing and they say they won't stop until they see change. Sean Gallagher Wral News. Chapel Hill. That appreciate me one solution.
