>> GO OUT AND ABOUT. >>> WELCOME TO ROCK SOLID WARRIOR. MY SONS GOT INTO THE SPORT ABOUT FOUR YEARS AGO. AND BEFORE I KNEW IT, THEY WERE COMPETING IN A NATIONAL LEVEL AND GETTING ONTO THE SHOW. IF YOU'VE EVER SEEN THE SHOW, "AMERICAN NINJA WARRIOR," YOU'VE SEEN PEOPLE HANGING OFF OBSTACLES, SALMON LADDERS, AND WE HAVE THOSE AND A LOT MORE. WHEN YOU WALK IN THE DOOR, YOU SEE A LOT OF OBSTACLES. YOU CAN EXPECT TO HAVE A LOT OF FUN. YOU WILL BE GREETED BY ONE OF OUR COACHES. PEOPLE OF ALL AGES, FROM ALL SKILL LEVELS FROM KIDS TO PROS AT THE SPORT. THERE IS SOMETHING FOR EVERYBODY TO DO WHETHER YOU ARE INTERESTED IN THE SPORT OF "NINJA WARRIOR" OR ROCKCLIMBING. "NINJA WARRIOR" STARTED WITH THE SPORT CALLED "SASUKE,"  AND THERE'S MULTIPLE STAGES. WHEN YOU SEE THE SHOW THE FIRST TIME, YOU THINK THERE'S NO WAY I CAN DO THAT. IT'S A LOT OF TECHNIQUE. ONCE YOU PRACTICE IT, JUST LIKE ANYTHING ELSE, YOU PRACTICE IT, YOU GET BETTER. I WAS ON OF AMERICAN NINJA WARRIOR" SEASON 11. ALMOST GOT TO THE END BUT DID NOT QUITE DO WELL ENOUGH TO MAKE IT TO STAGE TWO. OUR COACHES HAVE BEEN ON THE SHOW AND COMPETED AT A HIGH LEVEL, SO THEY REALLY KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING. SALMON LADDER IS ONE OF THE CLASSIC "NINJA WARRIOR" OBSTACLES. THERE IS A WRONG AND YOU HAVE TO JUMP THE BAR UP THE WRONG. THE WARP WALL IS ANOTHER CLASSIC "AMERICAN NINJA WARRIOR" OBSTACLE. IT IS A CURVED WALL WHERE YOU HAVE TO USE MOMENTUM, SO YOU RUN UP , GRABBED THE TOP. >> YES! >> WE HAVE A 6 WHAT, 9 FOOT, 12 FOOT, AND 18 FOOT WARP WALL. ANYTIME YOU SWING FROM A BAR OR ANY OBJECT, WHERE YOU ARE FLYING THROUGH THE AIR, THEN CATCH ONTO THE NEXT OBSTACLE. DOUBLE DIP IS A GREAT "AMERICAN NINJA WARRIOR" OBSTACLE. BOTH ARE ASCENDING AND DESCENDING LADDERS THAT YOU HAVE TO CLIMB USING ONLY YOUR HANDS, BUT WE ALSO HAVE CIRCUIT BOARDS WHERE YOU HAVE DIFFERENT HANDLES, AND YOU SLIDE THE HANDLES DOWN, OR WE HAVE THE ADVANCED VERSION WHERE THERE ARE HOLES, YOU HAVE TO POP THE HANDLE OUT, AND FITTED INTO THE NEXT HOLE. IF SOMEBODY WANTS TO ROCK CLIMB, WE HAVE 40, DIFFERENT ROUTES. THERE IS SOMETHING TO DO. LOTS OF TIMES, PEOPLE WILL COME JUST FOR ROCKCLIMBING, BUT AFTER LOOKING AT THE NINJA STUFF A WHILE, THEY SAY, "THAT LOOKS REALLY FUN." >> WE OFFER DAY CAMPS, HALF- DAY, FULL-DAY, AND WEAK. WE OFFER PARENTS' NIGHTCLUB OUT, OPEN GYM, AND BIRTHDAY PARTIES. A LOT OF KIDS COME HERE TO DO LOTS OF DIFFERENT SPORTS, BUT THIS IS A UNIQUE SPORT, SO THEY CAN START OFF DOING SOME OF THE SIMPLEST OBSTACLES TO CLOSE TO THE END OF THE DAY, TRYING OBSTACLES THAT THEY THINK THEY MIGHT NEVER COMPLETE. WE PUT PADDING EVERYWHERE. WE REALLY WANT THIS TO BE A SAFE ENVIRONMENT FOR YOUR KIDS. WE WANT THE KIDS TO COME AND HAVE A BLAST AND SEND THEM HOME TIRED. >> WHETHER THIS IS THE FIRST TIME YOU'VE EVER SEEN AN OBSTACLE OR YOU ARE A SEASONED PRO, WE HAVE SOMETHING FOR YOU. OUR GOAL IS TO HAVE NINJA GYMS. YOU WILL NEVER BE MORE THAN 10 MINUTES AWAY TO A GREAT NINJA JIM. WE ARE EXPANDING INTO THE APEX AREA.

I'm meteorologist Amy Wing in the WRL severe weather center. We have a lot of sunshine over North Carolina today, but clouds will be moving in overnight tonight and through the day tomorrow and eventually storms will get here today. The severe weather threat is well to the west of us. You can see that in those bright shades of reds, oranges and yellows. As the system gets closer to North Carolina tomorrow, it loses some of its energy. Most of the energy will be south of North Carolina. But in the afternoon and evening, we do have some weak energy so some isolated, severe storms will be possible from around southern Wake County and points to the west and southwest. This would be for tomorrow afternoon and tomorrow evening, it's about a 30 to 40% chance for showers and storms tomorrow afternoon and tomorrow evening. And then as we get into Saturday, it looks mainly dry, but we'll have another round of rain. On Sunday, we do have another cold front that arrives this weekend and a low pressure system moving along that front will likely provide us with some rain, especially the second half of the day. On Sunday, also note we're on the cool side of the front and so temperatures will be much cooler. On Sunday, temperatures will be down into the forties, Sunday night and Monday night, high temperatures will stay in the sixties as we head into Sunday afternoon and Monday afternoon. So we're going from this warm summer like pattern to some much cooler temperatures the second half of the weekend and into early next week. But highs are back in the mid to upper seventies as we head into Tuesday and Wednesday.
