<p>Good morning. I'm meteorologist Elizabeth Gardner New. This morning, our southern counties are under a level two risk for severe storms. That's the area where we'd have a better chance of seeing an isolated tornado. It's parts of Cumberland, Sampson and Hoke County. And then that level one risk shifted a little farther north to include Raleigh as well as Sanford and over around Rocky Mountain. So damaging winds and heavy rain would be the biggest threat. But again, the potential for isolated 20 down in that level two risk. Boy, this front has caused so much trouble across the country. It's been a slow mover, producing a lot of tornadoes, seeing tornado warnings right now in the deep south along the Gulf coast, nothing happening over us right now. But once we get some sunshine into play this afternoon that heats up the atmosphere and adds energy. That's when we'll end up seeing those storms. So between three and 8 p.m. we'll have the potential for some severe storms, damaging winds and hail will be our biggest. But in our southern counties, we could end up with an isolated tornado. We take a look at futurecast and we're looking at mostly cloudy skies until we get to the evening again, or I should say afternoon, around three o'clock, we have the chance of some thunderstorms that could be strong. You can see at five o'clock, that's a pretty nasty looking line of storms by six or seven, we start to see that line lifting northward, Raleigh Rocky Mount Wilson and then very quickly it moves on out by eight, nine o'clock, we're finished with it and once it moves out, we are done and we'll see clearing skies and a gorgeous weekend. Here's a look at Durham this morning. You can see a pretty sunrise there with a mix of sun and clouds. We climb up to upper seventies to 80 by lunchtime. So it'll be a fairly quick, warm up. Temperatures heading out the door this morning are mostly in the mid sixties. We'll see a high of 81 in Raleigh, 79 in Durham and 83 in Fayetteville. We're tolerable with our muggy meter as you're heading out. And then by the time we get to the weekend, it's comfortable to refreshing. But we do have a chance of showers and storms again. Tuesday and Wednesday, that's going to put us right back up to steamy and tropical feeling more like July. So enjoy this phenomenal weekend after some thunderstorms this afternoon and evening, we clear out with some cool mornings, Saturday and Sunday morning in the low fifties afternoon, highs in the mid to upper seventies under mostly sunny skies.</p>

Carolina Hurricanes players and Head Coach Rod Brind'Amour talk about Game 3 on Thursday night against the New York Rangers. 

<p>So, um, it's just, it's just part of it. Um, I think our five on five games been been good and, um, obviously special teams, we need to share that up. And, um, just, yeah, obviously that, that needs to be a focal point moving forward. You got a fine line to walk, you know, wanting to be a physical game with all that but not to take the foolish penalties that give them opportunities. Yeah, I was just luck at last game. We had, uh, uh, most of our penalties are stick penalties. So, um, just need to start checking with your body instead of your stick and, um, I was guilty of one and there was a few other ones. So, uh, you just stay away from those ones and we'll be fine. Do you, do you embrace the pressure of having to come back here down? Two? Oh. And having a chance to maybe push it back the other way if you guys can get it done today. Yeah, I, I had a coach in junior hockey told me you're, you're not this until you lose at home. That's, that's been, he said that and we haven't lost at home. So, um, they, they did their job, they won their two at home. Now it's our turn to do ours and, um, starts with tonight and try and you, you win your games at home and then it goes to uh best of three, but we'll focus on tonight as a leader on the team. How important can your impact and what you and the other leaders do to try and turn the tide here. Um Yeah, I, I honestly, we need to come out and play, play our best games, especially here. This, this needs to be the best game of the series tonight. Obviously, we're, we're down too, so you need to push as hard as you can. And um I don't think any, any of us are gonna change the way we're playing. We just need to find maybe that little bit more and um we'll uh have everybody kind of follow suit but um, you look at Fishy Jordan me slavo every everybody in there. We, we're, we're up for it. So we're, we're looking forward to have you guys said anything to the team, have some kind of player meeting after the first two games. No, no, we haven't done that. I know you guys haven't practiced as a group since prior to game too, but have you talked about changes on the power play? What you can do to generate more shots and find more open works? That's a question for Roddy. I'm not in the power play meeting so well, I spoke after game two about, there's a lot, there's still a lot of belief in your room. Uh, despite how frustrated you guys were, can you speak to that? And, and does that come from the experience? And, and I don't know how, how frustrated we are. If we score in overtime, then we're sitting here 11 and it's, uh, when you guys are asking different questions, it went to double overtime and um, the, and then we're, we're trying to tie it late in game one. It's not like they've come in and completely outplayed us two games. It's, it's, they did their job at home, they scored in overtime to make it 20 and now it's our job to respond. All right. Thanks Marty. Marty. Mhm. Yeah, we like 40 places. It means here we go. Evan's gonna check the LA tonight. That was your range for, uh, earlier in the year. Oh, man, we're gonna bring this place to the ground, burn it down and it's not working now. At least we don't have the batteries anymore. That was for the escape by Martin. I say, you know, a little bit, you're now out to you. Oh, that's good. He had a little bit of Charlie is covering tonight or in the, there's gotta be some kind of like nerve damage or something or like fracture. I don't think, I don't know. You never know, I mean, it depends on what the injury is. I mean, the first thing I thought about what he said, that's what, 78 years, right. I, yeah, why do you decide not to have a skater or practice? Just your call? No, it, you know, tough game the other night. A little more rest. I mean, the morning sheets. I don't know really what you get out of them for me. So, we had our meetings. That's, you know, where, where we can get a little better. This team is so experienced and been through so many different things in the past. Do you even need to say anything? Do any of the players need to step up and kind of say anything before this game or is it just kind of business as usual? Well, I don't know. Yeah, I mean, I think we all understand where we're at in this situation and I don't, I don't think we need to dwell on that. I don't think it's, you know, how can we find that little extra, you know, play here or there? That makes a difference and, you know, uh that, that's really what it's about character as a coaching staff in those meetings. Have you discussed any strategies of how to get the power play going and generate more chances to score? Yeah, I mean, obviously we, we, that's uh an area we wanna get better at. They did a nice job up there and you know, there's, there's areas that we can be better for sure. And, um, you know, we're gonna have to be, obviously we go back to Freddie tonight. Um, yeah. No. Yeah. No, we're gonna go cooch tonight. Um, uh, you made a change in overtime with moving Tony onto the second unit. I was, I didn't know if that was maybe, uh, trying to get more out of the power play or was it more? Maybe not loading up, Shay so much with minutes. Both. Yeah, both. Yeah, I mean, Brady is playing a Ton and Tony, we know we can do it. It's just, you know, we had to get power play all year and Brady was running on that unit, but we know Tony is capable of it. So it's a little bit of both there. You said the change with, with the goalie? Um, well, I think, you know, Freddie's played really well, but he's also played a lot and I think, uh, give him a little rest is the best thing you've said that you're not worried, you never have been worried about couch's ability to step right back in despite knocking the play off. And what has he been doing? Especially the majority of his time. Is it kind of split between watching film and practicing? Is he doing something different? No, just getting ready. Practice. You ready? I mean, he doesn't, I don't know how much film work he does. I mean, it's the goal is just getting himself ready. He does work with Polly, but I mean, at the end of the day it's, I think, uh, you know, he's fresh and hopefully that was a great game. You anticipated, you said yesterday, you anticipated, who is he getting back in? Is that what you're gonna do today? He's fine. Right. Do you see this as a matchup series? Like as far as sometimes there, there are, sometimes there's, they're not for you. Is this a matchup series? And do you have more of an advantage because of that people? Um, yeah, I mean, you have certain game plan going in, you know, certain, you know, maybe guys you wanna play against but it really, um that's, it's, um, yes and no. Uh uh I mean, obviously there's more about um, the d matching up really more than even the floors. But yeah, I mean, we'd love to get our top guys against their top guys. Your estimation is to check out, do anything differently as a goalie playing behind your group. Well, he's got a different demeanor. I mean, that's obvious and he said he's really comical and creature is a little more passionate and, you know, wes his emotions are on his sleeve. But yeah, I know they both pretty good goalies. Coach, a player like this, a tr check for the Rangers who scored in every playoff game so far. I just want to stop them to stop his momentum from getting going. Well, I mean, there's no different game plan for him than anyone else. You gotta do your best when you're out there. And, um, you know, we know him very well. Good player. Uh, so we just can't give him a lot of room obviously. All right, thanks. Yep. Here you are. No, I was wearing these pills. I have been to Starbucks and then we're still 10 minutes by any one. I know you a Star Me? Have a good one. All right. Yeah.</p>
