Right now, live coverage from your local news leader, breaking stories from overnight and this morning, and your first alert forecast. Here's what's happening where you live. This is ABC 11 eyewitness news. Good morning, Carolina. I'm Akela Davis and for Bianca Holman. It's Sunday, June 7th. This morning on eyewitness news, we're following breaking news out of Halifax County. The search for a missing kayaker at Roanoke Rapids Lake has come to an end. We're breaking down what we're learning from authorities. Hot yesterday, we'll do it again today. Temperatures are going to be in those mid-90s, so get ready for that.

We do anticipate seeing the numbers staying in the 90s as the week goes on. Will it rain, though? I've got your forecast. And our Stanley Cup coverage continues the Las Vegas Golden Knights defeating the Carolina Hurricanes. We'll take a look at what's next in the quest for the Cuff. And with the Cains on the road in Vegas, some Caniacs have also packed their bags for The Thin City will tell you how much it'll cost you to go cheer on the canes in Vegas. But first now to breaking news, Cruz has found the body of a kayaker who went missing last month at Rone Oak Rapids down in Halifax County.

The Sheriff's Office says Angel Martinez went missing on May 14th after a boat overturned while kayaking with his friend on the lake. Responders rescued his friend but could not find him. Deputies say Cruz found Martinez's body Saturday. The search involved more than 20 state and local agencies. And now let's take a live look outside. This is a view of the Raleigh skyline from our Pindo Skycam on 301 Hillsborough Street. Right now we're tracking a long stretch of heat across our viewing area. Let's check in with first alert meteorologist Steve Stewart.

Steve, good morning. Hey, good morning, Akila. You're right. Yeah, going to be another hot day today well above the average high, about 96 degrees. be some passing high clouds at times not terribly humid but a little bit more humid than yesterday and we're really going to see the humidity go up later this week more on that coming up yesterday 94 the average is 95 so we're going to beat that by a degree or two for today and there's the deficit approaching an inch of rain now heading out and about today maybe going to the lake those numbers will be in the 90s again at times we'll get some passing clouds around UV index way up there for us about a 10 so plenty of sunscreen necessary there will be a complex of some storms if Virginia. This is late evening, getting closer to the midnight hour. So there could be an isolated storm or two up in our northern counties. Obviously, most of us are going to miss that. Right now, 78 at North Hills with a breeze at about nine miles an hour. Dewpoint up a little bit now to 63 degrees. Widespread 70s across the board. No 80s just yet. Roxborough flirting with that at 79 degrees. And you see those dew points now in the 60s. So it's a touch more humid from yesterday. It's on average around two to five degree higher with the dew points. So you're starting to notice that a little bit more,

and that really is going to kick into play as we get later in the week. Maybe hold off on that walk after dinner until we get to 7, 8, 9 o'clock. That's when it's going to feel a bit better to you. And then eventually we'll get down to the low 80s as we get closer to midnight. Could we get a pattern change later this week? More on that coming up in just a few minutes, Akila. Steve, thank you. And now to a disappointing end to game three of the Stanley Cup finals for the Carolina Hurricanes.

The Cains falling short to the Vegas Golden Knights, live to four in double overtime. After last night, Vegas now leads the series 2 to 1. The Cains and Golden Knights will be back on the ice Tuesday night for game four at T-Mobile Arena in Vegas. And inside the arena, there will be a number of caniacs who made the trip all the way from the triangle in support of the team. Ticket prices for just one seat close to $1,000. So we decided to take a look at how much a trip to the game could cost you. Here's DeWan Hogarth with more. Some are describing it as the trip of a lifetime.

The opportunity to attend at least one game during the Canes run to win the Stanley Cup. And it all became too real after the team took down the Canadians in the Eastern Conference final. When we won, I think we were all crying. There's a big group shot and we're all hugging about it. And we were like, we're going to Vegas. So these group of friends put their power play in motion. We knew that we wanted to get every bit of the experience of being in the Stanley Cup finals. Other fans like Myle Roberts, part of the Kane Evil's crew, as seen here,

in their Sin City style jumpsuits didn't even have to think twice of their decision to head west. No brainer at all. So these suits actually originated in Vegas and a guy's trip in March Maddenous three years ago. We decided we'd become the Canevels after that trip. So this is where they were born and this is where we're going to win the cup. So we did some math and crunched the numbers for you if you're looking to head to any other Vegas games. Let's start with airfare. The prices we found ahead of game three tonight range from 720 to 1040 round trip, according to kayak. A two-night hotel stay at MGM Grand, 420 to 570. And tickets for the actual game, you'll be spending at least $1,700. And of course, money for ride share and food.

Looking at a low-end cost of $3,200 to more than $6 to $1,000 if you're down to splurge. If it was the Super Bowl, nobody would question the amount of money it costs to go. And I've been to a Super Bowl, a World Series. This is my first Stanley Cup. And this is the best. The overarching theme for these Keynes fans, the moments that mean the most don't come with price tax. You only live once, man. I've had friends that have passed away from car accidents, from cancer, from whatever. You never know what tomorrow is going to bring. So you've got to live in the moment.

You've got to live in the day. We're in the Stanley Cup. You've got to take the opportunity to be there, support the team. Money is just money. Experience is everything. And that was our DeWan Hogarth reporting. And if you are having a Kane's party, a Cane's Cave, Watch party, Snack Table, and collectibles, we want to see it. Check out these fun photos from eyewitness news viewers. No matter

your age or gender, you are all rocking it in your favorite canes gear. And if you're a hurricanes or bandwagon fan hungry for another Stanley Cup, show us your teen spirit. Send us a photo, video, or even a message for the canes. We just might share it right here on ABC 11. And right now A man is behind bars and two people are recovering this morning after a shooting in Raleigh. It happened at the intersection of Glenwood Avenue and West Jones Street. Police tell us 30-year-old Nashan Ramsey is facing multiple charges. They say they found a man and woman who had been shot around 145 Saturday morning. They say two men were arguing when one of the men pulled out a gun and shot the other.

The woman who police say was an innocent bystander was also hit during the incident. Both of the victims were taken to the hospital and are expected to be okay. And this morning there's now a $40,000 reward for the two inmates who escaped from the Vance County Detention Center earlier this week. 33-year-old Michael Miles, also known as Mike Mike, and 21-year-old Lashon-Nott escaped Wednesday afternoon from the jail. Since then, digital billboards have gone up across the state to help in the ongoing search. And check out this surveillance video. It shows the moment they broke out of the van. County Jail. You can see them running down that hall there. The Vance County Sheriff says the

getaway was planned, but it's still not clear how they were able to escape. Officials say call 911 if you see either miles or not and do not approach them. They are considered armed and dangerous. And in Samson County, we're learning more about a tragic mobile home fire that killed multiple dogs. It happened Saturday in the 1200 block of Clayton Road in Gotwin. It's Still unclear how the fire started or exactly how many dogs were inside the home at the time. And this morning we're following the latest on the war with Iran. We'll take a look at where talks stand to end the fighting. And straight ahead details on the major expansion project happening at RDU Airport.

Plus the airport adding two non-stop flights to the Caribbean, the islands you can get to quicker. Sounds like fun, Steve. It absolutely does. Sure thing. Outside right now, we've got some high clouds around. and temperatures are now in the 70s, upper 70s around the triangle. We keep going up. Here come the 90s again.

It'll be a hot afternoon, not terribly humid, but more heat and humidity later this week. We'll talk about it next. In Toronto, every arrival is a statement, and nothing says it better than this.

We're going to be in those lower to middle 90s across the board. Some passing clouds at times today. Not terribly humid, but a little bit more humid than yesterday. You see those clouds. that have been streaming on by. Any rain showers are going to stay a long ways away from us, unfortunately. Maybe a good pool day today. Get the kids out there, lots of sunscreen, a lot of hours are going to be in the 90s today.

Again, not terribly humid out there. Current temperatures at 78 with some passing clouds around. More heat coming this week. We'll talk about it coming up in a few minutes, Akila. Steve, thanks. With rising temperatures, Cumberland County officials are helping people in need beat the heat. The Department of Social Services is now giving away free box fans.

In our next half hour, we'll break down details of the new militian plans. Time now 915. Here in the breaking news center, we're following new details on the war with Iran. This morning, the U.S. military is releasing video of fresh strikes on Iranian radar sites. Officials say the strikes came after Iran fired attack drones near the strait of Hermuz, threatening shifts in that critical waterway. Now that fighting is adding pressure on gas prices here at home as the administration pushes for an end to the war and looks to make Iran

pay for any future damage in the Gulf. Here's ABC's Michelle Franzen with more. The U.S. military is out with video showing U.S. strikes taking out Iranian radar sites. U.S. officials say the operation came after Iran launched four one-way attack drones in the Strait of Hormuz, threatening ships in one of the world's most important shipping lanes. That waterway remains restricted, adding pressure to global energy markets and keeping gas prices high here at home. Trump speaking with farmers acknowledging the war is also hitting them through higher fuel and fertilizer costs, but vowing prices will come down. But we're going to come out and your fertilizer prices are going to go way down, just like they were four months ago.

Your fertilizer is down, your energy's down, your oil, your gas is all coming way down. The president also insisting the war could soon be coming to an end. We're at a point. We're going to come out of Iran very quickly and it's going to be very strong. one way the other. Meanwhile, the administration is looking to increase economic pressure on Iran. A source tells ABC News the U.S. Treasury Department is planning to use Iranian assets to help rebuild and repair any future damage caused by Iran in the Gulf. That could include frozen Iranian assets as well as ships, the U.S. has seized. But any effort to end the U.S. war with Iran is now also connected to the volatile conflict in Lebanon between Israel and Hezbollah, the Iranian-backed military,

group. Lebanon state media says Israeli strikes on southern Lebanon killed nine people, including three members of the Lebanese military. Those strikes come just days after Israel and Lebanon reached a new ceasefire agreement, but Hezbollah has rejected the terms. Michelle Franz and ABC News, New York. Right now, the CDC says the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo has the potential to become the largest on record. It's already the fourth largest on record, least 60 confirmed deaths. Researchers say it could quickly surpass other historic outbreaks if strong public health interventions are not implemented rapidly. And here's a live look at downtown Raleigh from our Pendo Skycam on 301 Hillsboro Street. Steve, it is expected to be a hot one.

It will, yeah. You know, we're going to be in those mid, maybe upper 90s briefly, but it's going to be well above average. So take it easy out there today, not terribly humid. A lot of times in the summertime that that feels like temperature gets way up over 100. We're not doing that with these 90s, although I will say later in the week, that could change as moisture is going to be increasing. Still hot tomorrow. There's a stray storm south and west. Is the front going to stall to our south? So isolated pop-ups here and they are possible, but I really think it's going to be closer to the border of South Carolina. So likely going to miss out on rain there. Little to no relief of the 90s coming into play. I've got one day in the high 80s and that's Tuesday right back to those mid, maybe a couple days in the

upper 90s. It'll be more humid at this time as well. And with that increased humidity, that means we could get those pop up showers and thunderstorms. I think more notably as we get closer to the end of the week and heading into next weekend, not a guarantee. The front's going to be a ways away from us, but still with the heat and humidity, we could see those pop up storms in the afternoons and evenings and WCP picking up on that, suggesting a quarter inch of rain possible as we get into Friday and Saturday. And don't take this literally where you see the blue shades which will be a half inch with convective storms. There's no way to know where they'll develop. But just keep in mind that there's an opportunity here for us to get some much needed rainfall.

I did some yard work yesterday. I mean, I can't believe I even got out there, but it's not looking too good. If you have to get the yard work done today, again, not terribly humid. It will be in the 90s earlier, the better to do that. Obviously, going to be a little hot out there. And by the evening hours, we're talking late evening, closer to the midnight hour, some storms out of Virginia as their weakening could hold together and maybe make it to some of our northern counties. It's a possibility. Most of us are going to miss out on that opportunity. 78 into North Hills with a breeze at about 10 miles an hour out of the south and west. Dew points up a little over yesterday.

74 Oxford, 76 in the Chapel Hill and Fayville currently at 76 degrees. Kids run the bases on Sundays at the D-BAP. Hopefully we'll get a victory against Charlotte. They have yet to lose on this trip here to the triangle. before about 83 by the time you're going to be heading on home. There's that front that'll settle just to our south. So that's the better opportunity for a shower, a thunderstorm tomorrow.

And then we'll see more clouds coming into place. We go into Tuesday, slightly cooler as a high is going to give us more of an east and northeasterly breeze. But yeah, we're going right back to the 90s, starting Wednesday, and that trend lasts all the way through the upcoming weekend. Up in the mountains today, 78 Manor Elk, 85, Asheville, chimney rock, about 87. for a high and the beaches are going to be in the 80s looking pretty good. A little cooler there in Atlantic Beach, but the rip current danger is elevated to the high category there on the Crystal Coast. Our highs today will be in the low to mid-90s, a hot one for sure

today with some passing clouds and warmer tonight, upper 60s and low 70s. So it's a warm start to a hot day again tomorrow in the mid-90s. Any storm is mainly off to our south and west. There'll be clouds around. We'll call it partly sunny Tuesday and Wednesday. More humid on Thursday and mid-90s, so tailgating for the canes will be pretty hot. Could be a stray storm. A little better chance of some pop-up storms Friday and Saturday, and that trend could last as we head into next Sunday. Akela?

Steve, thanks. And now is a good time to download the ABC 11 mobile app. We'll send all the weather headlines directly to your phones. You can also check the first alert Doppler net and the seven-day forecast. We are local news. ABC 11 eyewitness news continues now. Eyewitness News is bringing you tomorrow's headlines today. And this morning, we are getting an update on that big expansion project happening over at RDEU Airport.

Richard Straddling writes about transportation for the news and observer and joins us from the Raleigh eyewitness News Center. Richard, Richard, good to see you. Welcome back. Thank you. Good to see you. By the end of this year, Richard, RDU is expected to complete that 11,000 space parking lot. How's the airport addressing stormwater runoff from all that new pavement? Right. It's 110 acres of asphalt and pavement that they have to deal with the stormwater runoff.

And they've come up with a solution they call the submerged gravel wetland, which there will be built seven of these around the parking lot. The water will go in. It's built in layers. There's a gravel layer at the bottom, slightly smaller gravel as you go up, and then a sand layer at the top, and it will be planted. with wetland plants and it'll essentially look like a marsh when it when it matures. The water will come in and kind of filter down through the sand, through the plants, down to the gravel, and the plants and the microbes that grow in the soil and on the rocks will help clean the water. When there gets to be enough of it, it will drain out the other end. Okay, so it sounds interesting. Richard, what's different about that approach? What makes it unusual? Yeah, so it's, there's very few of these in North Carolina. This is,

was developed in New Hampshire more than a decade ago, but it hasn't really been used here. And in fact, it's not permitted by the state regulators yet as a standard practice in North Carolina. And so what they've done is they've allowed this on a kind of pilot basis, a test basis, to see how it works here. Okay, so the question of whether or not these submerged gravel wetlands will be used elsewhere in North Carolina, highly depends on what happens at RDU. Exactly, and so what's happening is, so the stormwater experts at NC State helped design this or consulted on it, and they are testing it over the next year and a half through the summer of 2027.

They will test the water that comes in to each of these wetlands, or two of them anyway, and the water that goes out, and to see if the wetlands are working to filter them to make the water cleaner, they're also looking at the amount of water that comes in, and they'll look at the different parameters, the way that's the way that's, works or do they have the right plants or they the right size and they will make recommendations to state regulators that will create guidelines that then could be used to to allow these to be used around the state they're doing a lot more out there than just counting parking spaces great insight Richard as

always thank you for joining us you can read more Richard's reporting on the News and Observer website or in Sunday's paper a sign of progress for students in Durham will take you inside one elementary school where teachers are reporting academic success. And the summer job market for teens and young workers isn't so hot, how the Fayetteville Fire Department is working to help get more young people into the workforce. We are Local News. ABC 11 eyewitness News continues next. We are local news. ABC 11 eyewitness news continues now. A live look at downtown Durham where we are expecting another hot day across the triangle. Good morning, Carolina. It's Sunday, June 7th. I'm Akela Davis. You're watching eyewitness news now on ABC 11 and wherever you stream the details and top stories and all the day's news just ahead. But first, let's check in with first alert meteorologist Steve Stewart. It's a good day for a water park. Beach. It is. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, when the kids were little, we went to that water park up north of here. And yeah, it was a lot of fun. And crowded. Yeah, you bet you'll be crowded as we go through the day today. Going to be a hot one out there with temperatures climbing.

all the way to those mid 90s. Overall, we're looking at a high about 96 today. There'll be some passing high clouds as around not terribly humid for today. That breeze is going to be around five to 10 miles an hour. Yesterday was 94 and again the average is 85 so we're well above that. The record today is 100. Don't think we're going to get there. I mean, RD you can sometimes spike.

We'll see about three quarters of an inch deficit for the month. We haven't had rain yet this month and we're hoping to change that later in the week. Look at those 90s out of the lake today, not terribly humid. And at times we'll get some decent passing clouds around, but lots of sunshine right now. It's later in the day. We'll see some clouds. And look at this. Maybe that thunderstorm complex out ahead of the front that will make it all the way to our northern counties late tonight and early tomorrow morning. Most of us are going to miss out on that. But at least there's an opportunity for some areas to get a little bit of rain late tonight. 78 into North Hills right now with a breeze at about 10 miles an hour. The dew point at 63, 81 now in Roxburgh, 80 Rocky Mount Wilson, and 78 in Durham and Raleigh at 77 degrees.

You see the dew points now in those lower 60s, higher dew point down around Clinton. And this is higher than yesterday. On average, three, four, five degree up from yesterday's dew point. When that happens, that means it starts to feel a little bit more humid. 90s through the early evening, maybe if we're going to take that walk around the neighborhood, be careful. It may take it easier, wait a little bit until it cools down a little bit later on. tonight. Will we see a pattern change later in the week with more rain chances? Looks a little promising now. More on that coming up in a few minutes. Akila. Steve, thanks. Right now we're

following breaking news. Cruz find the body of a kayaker who went missing last month at Roanoke Rapids Lake in Halifax County. The sheriff's office says Angel Martinez went missing on May 14th after a boat overturned while kayaking with his friend on the lake. Responders rescued his friend but could not find him. Deputies say Cruz found Martinez's body Saturday. The search involved more than 20 state and local agencies. And it's been weeks since a national education report was released saying students across the country are behind in both reading and math. Researchers calling this a learning recession. Despite that, a Durham Elementary School is showing signs of progress. Here's a look at how

they're working to tackle that national trend. All right, Caroline, how did you get 150? Hands on learning and visuals are helping fifth graders better understand math than this foremost classroom. Fifth grade math, they struggle a lot with division and they struggle a lot with fraction operations. The nearly 20-year educator remembers having some of these same challenges as a student. Now she's finding creative ways to help her students succeed. How can we use a strategy that we've done so far to help us figure out what five times 29 is? If they can't multiply, then they can't divide. And so I will often give them multiplication charts that they can use so that way they can figure out what related multiplication facts there are to help them become successful with division.

Creekside Elementary is considered a low-performing school by the state. But school leaders say student grove tells a much different story. At the start of a school year, just 31% of kindergarten students here were reading at a proficient level. By the end of the year, that number jumped to 71%. In math, proficiency rose from 19% to 67%. Among third graders reading proficiency increased from 54% to 60%. Mav saw an even bigger growth rising from 20% proficiency to 50%. Clearly, our kids are making progress.

Principal Victoria Kramer says those results are the outcome of the intentional work happening every day. She believes school funding and resources help schools maintain high student achievement levels. There are schools across the state that get taken over by the state. And the way we fix it is we throw money at them. They get all this money, they fix their problems, and then the money gets taken away. And I would argue in the long term, that that doesn't solve anything. She says last year, Creekside ranked in the top half of all elementary schools across the state for growth. School leaders say there are still work to do, especially when it comes to war recognition and students understanding what they're reading.

Literacy coach Delphia Daniels says they're seeing results from the school. weekly meetings. We look at the data, we see what is our strongest areas, what areas we still need more support in, and then together we come up with a plan and the teachers implement the plan. I may observe them in the classroom and then just give them some feedback. Sometimes that means reteaching lesson plans, extra support, or offering programs like after-school tutoring for third, fourth, and fifth graders. North Carolina State University is beginning the process of demolishing Poha The Raleigh School has received approval from the EPA to knock down the toxic structure.

The building has been closed since November of 2023 after PCBs were discovered in the building's HVAC system. I mean, it's definitely good that it's getting knocked down if there are all those toxins in there. I wouldn't want any chance if there's still carcinogens in there. I would wish as much of it gone as I as would make anybody feel safe. The school is facing legal battles right now. former students and employees are suing because of illnesses, they say, are linked to their time spent inside Poe Hall. Eyewitness news reached out to the two attorneys representing the group for comment, but we have not heard back. And did you know that breast cancer is the most common cancer in women across the country?

Women in the Triangle gathering in Durham for the 21st annual T for 2 raising awareness. Are Michael Pershick hearing from survivors and advocates about why this work is so important? I'm a two-time breast cancer survivor. Renee Joyner finding support with Sisters Network Triangle and C. When you walk into this, you feel inspired, you feel motivated, you feel cared for, you feel like somebody knows what you are going through. And that gives you comfort. Sisters Network is the country's largest black breast cancer survivorship organization. Its pink ribbon awareness campaign is focused on encouraging women to get screened.

And it's extremely important because African-American women, and among other things, they're an underserved population when it comes to a lot of health care in avenues. Portia Scott Hedgepeth is the president of the Triangle Chapter. She was just 31 years old when she was diagnosed. This October, I'll be a 33-year breast cancer survivor. According to the American Cancer Society, breast cancer accounts for about 30% of all new female cancers each year.

Despite overall lower incidence rates, non-Hispanic black women are more likely to develop more aggressive, aggressive advanced age breast cancer at a younger age and have higher mortality rates. Mammograms and monthly self breast exams save lives. It allows women to find abnormalities in between your regular doctor checkups and believe it or not it makes a world of difference to have those.

Got your 70 forecast coming up in a few minutes, Akela. Steve, thanks. A homeowner on the Outer Banks decided to undergo a massive project to save their oceanfront property by moving the entire house to a new location. Jenny Coontz of epic shutter photography captured this footage of crews moving a home on Cape Court in Buxton to a new lot close to old Lighthouse Road over the course of two weeks in May. This action comes after several homes in the area collapsed into the ocean in recent months. And get this, all the furniture stayed in place during the move. And with hurricane season now underway, the North Carolina Licensing Board of General Contractors are working to make sure you pick the right contractor if your home is damaged.

Here's what you need to know. If any project quoted at $40,000 or more requires a valid general contractor's license, always ask for proof that the contractor is licensed. Be wary of people going door to door, selling services, or people who demand deposits or payments in cash. Contact your insurance company by guiding guidance

before beginning any work. And contact local law enforcement, if you suspect you are being scammed by a contractor. And are you looking for any new movies or shows to binge watch this weekend?

He graduated from Cape Fear High School on Monday and picked up his city intern badge that same day. Now he's on the fire department's marketing team. It gets my foot in the door from fire service and stuff like that, being able to go see new things, meet new people.

Cunningham is one of 14 interns working across Fayetteville this summer. 15-year-old Jeremiah Foster is also with the department, digitizing photos and archiving history. Kids don't really get this opportunity, so I'm getting an opportunity. I'm taking advantage. Internships haven't been easy to land. A recent report from the Career Network Handshake found that each internship posting in 2025 received an average of 109 applications, almost double in 2024. It's been cool because there's a lot of things that I didn't know that they're teaching me now. This program doesn't just help students. It also helps the department reach young recruits.

I'm in my 50s. I don't know how the 18-year-olds think these days, so why don't we take someone who's of that age and help us develop a marketing plan. And a unique part of this experience, learning financial responsibility on the job. They had us go through this kind of like financial thing that we were going over,

a difference between debit and credit cards and how to spend your money. And here's a live look at FFO, Street in downtown Raleigh as temperatures are expected to climb today, Steve. Good day for the pool. Great day for the pool. Yeah, just to find a way to beat the heat. Not oppressive, but a little bit more humid. I think as the week goes on, especially Thursday, Friday, Saturday, that humidity is really going to go up. It's going to feel like summer around here with that heat index kicking in. Outside right now, we're seeing some passing high clouds. Overall looking pretty good. Warming fairly quickly, though. It'll be another hot afternoon in those mid-90s in most areas.

A little bit cooler up in our northern counties. Still hot tomorrow with a front just to our south. It's going to move through with little fanfare, but it could spark an isolated shower, thunderstorm. Again, well south of the triangle. Most of us are going to miss out on any rain and little to no relief at all. We're going to be in the 90s as we go throughout the week, with the exception of Tuesday, but that's close to 90 anyway.

So you see all the heat that's going to be coming this way. And with that, we increase the humidity. So notice as we get later in the week, we might see some more scattered showers and thunderstorm. thunderstorms around. Not a real triggering mechanism like a cold front to swing on through or something like that. With a heat and humidity, though, we expect to get at least those afternoon and evening pop up showers or storms. No guarantee that your house will get hit with a shower thunderstorm. But just know there's going to be some activity around as we get later in the week. Now WPC pick it up on that suggesting as we get into Friday, Saturday, maybe around a quarter inch of rainfall. Don't take it literally where it's starting to show some areas that a half an inch here. That gets set up just. about anywhere. Just know that with increased moisture and the heat, that we'll get some pop-up showers and thunderstorms later in the week. Not today, though, just hot out there. If you have yard work, you need to get done. I got mine done yesterday. It was pretty hot out there. But keep in mind earlier, the better, obviously, peak heating around 2 to 5 o'clock this afternoon.

And look, as we get to the late evening hours, there'll be a complex of storms out ahead of that front that's drifting in from the north might hold together. Not all high-resolution models have this, but there could be a few up in our border counties late tonight and early in tomorrow morning should be done around two or so in the morning. 78 into North Hills with a breeze at about nine miles an hour. Most of us in those 70s, although a few areas now touching that 80 degree mark and we continue climbing from there. Kids are on the bases. It'll be hot out there at the deep app. 92 degrees as you're walking in. Boy, Charlotte's pretty good. They haven't lost since they've been here. 83 by the time you head on home under partly cloudy skies. There's that front that's going to settle to the south.

Again, little fanfare. If we get storms, it's going to be closer to the front. So mainly off to our south and west. Then as we go into the day on Tuesday, more clouds come into play. We'll call it partly sunny, slightly cooler. This high might draw in a little drier air, so humidity comes down just a little bit. That's going to go right back up as we get later in the work week. Mainly 80s in the mountains today, Banner Elka touch cooler.

The beaches will be in the 80s looking pretty good there, although the rip current danger is the high category there on the Crystal Coast. watch out for that. So low to mid 90s, another hot one today with some passing clouds at times this afternoon, especially later afternoon. 60s and low 70s. Well, warmer, a bit muggy overnight tonight. Another hot day tomorrow. If we get a storm, it'll be closer to the front off to our south and west. Partly sunny on Wednesday, Cain's tailgating, it's going to be hot and it'll be more humid than last time. And then better chance of some pop-up showers and storms in the afternoon and evening, Friday, Saturday. And that trend continues into Sunday. Keith? Steve, thanks.
