I'm meteorologist, Elizabeth Garro, lots of cloud cover early on, but that beautiful sunshine will be with us for the rest of the day until we get to the evening. And then we're going to have a round of quick showers that rolls through starting at around 5 p.m. could last until around 8 p.m. as it swings on through. It'll be quick as it moves through your area and the amounts will be really light 64 for the high in Raleigh today, 63 in Durham and 67 in Fayetteville. We have this little system called a Clipper that's getting ready to move into the mountains and that will cross our area this evening. And normally it would be, you know, not a big deal because it will move through so fast. But it will be the time of day when a lot of people are out heading home from work, maybe heading to the grocery store, maybe shopping this time of year. So you may need your umbrella just briefly during the evening. Here's a look at Futurecast. We'll walk right through the timeline on this and you can see we'll pause it right there at five o'clock. Just a quick shower in the north and between six and eight o'clock, there's a shower that rolls right across the triangle area as well as Fayetteville Clinton and into Goldsboro. And then we're done with what happens next is we get a shot of some cold air coming in. You see the light colored contours there. That's where our temperatures are turning colder. We'll feel that Wednesday and Thursday and Wednesday night, it's likely to be the coldest this week with temperatures down near freezing. Now, Wednesday morning, with this system, we could see a few light showers as that colder air starts to push in, but nothing that's going to be frozen by the time the temperatures drop, the precipitation will be out of here, our normal low is 36. So Tuesday morning, we'll see 38 Wednesday morning, 39 Thursday, 31. And again, that'll be the coldest that we see for this, uh, this week, our normal, the highest 58 we're looking at 64 this afternoon, 58 tomorrow and then we're below normal on Wednesday and Thursday as we look down the, uh, down the road, the next best chance of rain comes on Sunday. Keep that in mind as you're making your weekend plans.

The family of 15-year-old Delvin Ferrell, who was stabbed to death at Southeast Raleigh High School on Monday, is speaking live at a press conference. 

<p>This is a tragedy that, that, that, you know, I think that the message to Devin friends is grieving. I think it is important for the community and the school to, to wrap their arms around the, the, the, the, the, the young people and to his friends and let them know that, you know, to keep, you know, to keep Devin name, you know, alive, you know, and they, and they, and they, and they keep them positive memories for them and to make sure that no one is, you know what I'm saying, that, you know, and not to, you know, get caught up in the media bureaucracy that's going everything that's going on, the circus that's going on surrounding it, you know, to let it play out in the justice system, there's support services, I mean, the support service, you have to have community, culturally competent, support people, meaning that when you have community, culturally competent support to support people, I mean, if you have, you know, someone from, uh, carry that, that, that has it, that went to uh University of North Carolina and she's never been down in this community. She cannot, she cannot support our Children and I'll stand firm on that. This, you have to understand that, you know, that some of our Children, they go to school, they may not have eaten their breakfast or they, you know, lunch may be their only meal. So how can you really support our kids? You know, and say that you truly understand what they're going through because as a community, this family alone in the last two years, we lost a niece, you know, in 2021 to gun violence and now we lost Devon, but there's been no support. It's like, ok, you put them in the schools, you know what I'm saying? But what about, you know, in the families, you know what I'm saying? You send them back home for what, you know what I'm saying? To, to, to heal themselves, healing needs to take place all around across the board other than the defendant. Who else or what else do you feel like? Needs to be held accountable for demon's death? I think that I think us as a community as a whole, I think that the school system, I think the law enforcement, I think that collectively we all need to come together and try to figure out a way how can we avoid more, in more incidents like this, as I stated, you know, there have been, there been over a period of last three months, there've been four or five kids underneath the age of 18 that's been, you know, lost the balance in the city, you know, and that should be a public outcry. How, uh you mentioned the community really coming together during this time, what's been helping you and your family just to stand here and this, I think, I think my sister who, uh her faith, her faith in God, you know, her faith, she's, she's the backbone. You know what I'm saying? You're talking about a woman who has, you know, triple cancer, who has lost a daughter, you know, during COVID who lost a granddaughter, uh, due to gun violence and just lost another grandson. So you, when you look at her strength and stuff like that, how can you not be strong? How can you not stand strong if you know, how can you not stand on faith if you could if you believe in God or not? But you know, she, she's living, you know, you know, proof, you know what I'm saying that, you know, there's some faith in something and she, and she sends her prayers out to the, to the, to the uh alleged, uh alleged, the alleged family members as well. She, you know, she, she sends her prayers out to the family. So we got two more questions and that's it. Do any of you all wanna maybe share like a favorite memory of Devin or how you hope he'll be remembered and his smile, smile. Always you get his smile. Because he always had a smile on his face no matter what. So his smile was definitely gonna miss him. You know, like about to like what she was saying, his smell and like everything about him really show me that's all I gotta say. Younger brother, older brother. Are you all mad at the school system for why this knife got in or how they handled anything? What do you think about it? I mean, it's a tragedy, you know what I'm saying? Like, you know, I think that they have to take a look at some things and figure they have to figure it out. You know, they have to make sure that this, you know, this type of incident doesn't happen again. One of the concerns um shared among the parents as well is just the, you know, are the students getting enough resources. I understand there may be some high risk students at that school or students who uh the area, I mean, is there but there's enough resources. I don't personally I haven't really looked deep into the resources, but from my understanding, from the mere fact that, you know, I think that there's so certain programs like the social emotional learning programs that they can implement in the school system, their mentors, their, their, you know, their credible messages that they could bring in the school system, they could put pair mentors in the school, they could put high risk intervention. It's a couple of things that they could implement in the school system in the city to try to avoid, to try to put people in, you know, in inside the system, the school system to try to make sure to, to, to deescalating situations like this before it becoming a crisis. All right. Thank you. All. So I make sure I know how to spell that. Can you hold that picture for me one time? Excuse, excuse me, let me, let me see. I mhm. You too. Yeah. OK. Yeah I yeah body right that it's just a tr I heard you guys.</p>
