New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo addressed George Floyd's death and the recent events in Minneapolis, Minnesota, saying the demand is for justice.

I want to make one a point about, uh, the larger context of what's going on in Minneapolis today, which I'm sure is very distressing to all of us on. I want to begin by offering our personal thoughts and prayers to the family of George Floyd on behalf of all New Yorkers who have seen that incredible vehicle video. We can imagine your pain, Uh, and you are in our thoughts and prayers. I would also suggest that when we think about this situation and we start to analyze the situation and the reaction, let's not make the same mistake that we continually make, which is we tend to see incidents. This is an incident and isolated incident. People focus on an isolated incident. It's not an isolated incident. It is a continuum of cases and situations that have been going on for decades and decades and decades. These air just chapters in a book, and the title of the book is continuing injustice and inequality in America and these air just chapters. The chapter started modern day Rodney King in Los Angeles 1991 Abner Louima in New York, 1997 Amadou Diallo in New York, 1999. Sean Bell in New York 2006 Oscar Grant, Oakland, California 2009 Eric Garner, New York City, 2014 Michael Brown, Missouri 2014 LaQuan McDonald, Chicago 2014. Freddie Gray, Baltimore, 2015. Antoine Rose, Pittsburgh, 2018 I'm Might Aubrey in Georgia, 2020. Briana Taylor in Kentucky, 2020. George Floyd in Minneapolis, 2020. That's that's why the outrage. That's why the frustration and the anger. It is not about one situation. It's about the same situation happening again and again and again and again and seeing the same thing and not learning the lesson. And then is that happening in a broader context in a broader circumstances, which is what's going on with the Corona virus, which effects and kills more minorities than anyone else? You look around this country and you look at the people who are who are dying of the Corona virus. It is this proportionate African American people, and it's just a continuing injustice, and that's the frustration, and that's the protests. Nobody is sanctioning, uh, the arson on the thuggery in the burglaries, But the protesters and the anger and the fear and the frustration. Yes, yes, on the demand is for justice. And when the prosecutor came out and said, Well, there's other evidence. But I can't tell you anything more than that that only inside id the frustration, injustice in the justice system, How repugnant to the concept of America And over and over and over again, Uh, I stand figuratively with the protesters. I stand against the arson and the burglary and the criminality. I stand with the protesters, and I think all well meaning Americans stand with the protesters. Enough is enough. How many times you have to see the same lesson replayed before you do So this country is better then this. It has been better than this, and it shouldn't take this long to win the basic discrimination and basic injustice.

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.
