YEAH, WE CERTAINLY DO. WET WEATHER IS CERTAINLY GOING TO LEAVE ITS MARK OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. WE’VE GOT SOME WET WEATHER IN THE VICINITY OF MOUNT AIRY, IS HOPING TO SHOW YOU A CAMERA SHOT OF THAT, BUT TEMPERATURES ARE CLOSE TO 60 DEGREES. SOUTHEAST WINDS AT THREE LEE. SHOWERS HAVE NOW EXITED PARTS OF SURRY COUNTY. WE HAD SOME WET STREETS OVER THE AREA THIS MORNING, SO PREPARE FOR A BIT OF A DAMP COMMUTE. NORTH CAROLINA, VIRGINIA, BORDER COUNTIES, SEEING SOME RAIN LIFTING FROM THE GENERAL DIRECTION OF THE TRIAD, WE GOT SOME RAIN AND REIDSVILLE TOWARD DANVILLE AND THEN BACK TOWARD BURLINGTON, YANCEYVILLE AND MUCH OF CASWELL COUNTY, SEEING SOME SHOWERY WEATHER AS MORE. THAT’S COMING IN TO RAINFALL WILL ADVANCE IN FROM THE SOUTH AND WEST. TEMPERATURES ARE HOLDING STEADY, MOSTLY IN THE LOWER 60S. THE DRY AIR THAT’S IN PLACE WAS IN PLACE OVER THE WEEKEND, IS MOISTENED UP QUITE A BIT, AND THAT’S GOING TO PROVIDE A TEMPERATURE FLOOR PRETTY CLOSE TO 60. I DON’T THINK WE’LL DROP MUCH MORE THAN THAT THIS MORNING. WE ALSO WON’T SEE TEMPERATURES RISE VERY MUCH TODAY. HIGHS IN THE UPPER 60S. THIS AFTERNOON WE GOT A MOORE WAVES OF RAIN COMING IN FROM THE SOUTH. AND THIS IS THE TYPE OF DAY WE’VE SEEN THIS OFF AND ON FOR THE MONTH OF MAY WHERE SHOWERS ARE DEVELOPING ING IN OUR VICINITY. WE’RE NOT WAITING FOR A FRONT TO PASS AND TRYING TO TIME OUT. THE RAIN THAT WAY IS LOOKS LIKE THAT THIS IS GOING TO BE OVER ONCE THIS BAND BEGINS TO MOVE IN. THAT CERTAINLY IS NOT THE CASE. RAIN CHANCES ARE GOING TO REMAIN HIGH FOR MUCH OF THE DAY TODAY, SO INCREASING RAIN CHANCES UP TO 90% FOR THE DAY. HIGHS IN THE UPPER 60S AS A DAY FOR INDOOR PLANS AND KIND OF HUNKER DOWN IF YOU DON’T HAVE WORK OR SCHOOL TODAY, SOUTHEAST WINDS AT 5 TO 15. WEATHER IMPACT DAY FOR HIGH RAIN CHANCES TODAY. TOMORROW RAIN CHANCES ARE HIGH AND WE HAVE A CHANCE FOR A FEW STRONG STORMS. WE’LL HAVE MORE ON THAT PART OF THE FORECAST JUST MINUTES AWAY. AND FOR THOSE OF YOU HEADING OUT THE DOOR SHORTLY, HERE IS A LIVE LOOK OUTSIDE AT I-40 AT SANDY RIDGE ROAD IN COLFAX, SHOWING YOU THIS VANTAGE POINT OF I-40. THINGS ARE LOOKING GREAT IN BOTH DIRECTIONS, AND ALL OF YOUR MAJOR INTERSTATES ARE IN THE CLEAR. THIS MORNING. JACKIE HAS A TRAFFIC ALERT FOR US NOW. YES, SECONDARY ROAD IN BURLINGTON. AN INTERSECTION REMAINS CLOSED WHILE CREWS WORK TO REPAIR DOWNED POWER LINES AND TRAFFIC LIGHTS FOLLOWING A CRASH THAT HAPPENED LAST NIGHT AROUND 1030 AT THE INTERSECTION OF GRAHAM HOPEDALE ROAD AT HANOVER ROAD. AGAIN, THIS IS STILL CAUSING A CLOSURE THIS MORNING. POLICE SAY THE CAR CRASHED INTO A POWER POLE, CAUSING IT TO BREAK IN HALF, PROMPTING MAJOR REPAIRS NEEDED FOR THE POWER LINES AND TRAFFIC LIGHTS IN THE AREA. POLICE SAY NO ONE WAS HURT IN THE CRASH, BUT THEY ARE ASKING DRIVERS TO AVOID THIS AREA. STILL, THEY SAY THIS MIGHT CLEAR BY MID MORNING, BUT IT COULD BE LONGER TODAY. A TRIAD STUDENT WILL FACE A JUDGE AFTER OFFICIALS FOUND WEAPONS INSIDE THEIR CAR ON THE CAMPUS OF A KERNERSVILLE HIGH SCHOOL THIS WEEK, ACCORDING TO OFFICIALS. FORSYTH COUNTY DEPUTIES WERE DOING A RANDOM CAMPUS SEARCH YESTERDAY AT GLEN HIGH SCHOOL WHEN A K9 ALERTED THEM TO A CAR IN THE PARKING LOT. THAT’S WHEN THE SHERIFF’S OFFICE SAYS DEPUTIES FOUND A HANDGUN INSIDE OF IT. AN AIRSOFT FIREARM, TWO LOADED MAGAZINES AND A BOX OF AMMUNITION. DEPUTIES HAVE ARRESTED THIS MAN, 18 YEAR-OLD WHO’S WHO MONTICELLO. MENDOZA. MENDOZA ON SEVERAL CHARGES, INCLUDING HAVING A WEAPON ON CAMPUS. THE SHERIFF’S OFFICE SAYS THERE WILL BE ADDITIONAL SECURITY MEASURES IN PLACE AT GLEN HIGH SCHOOL FOR THE REST OF THIS WEEK. A STUDENT IS FACING CHARGES AFTER A SOCIAL MEDIA THREAT WAS MADE AGAINST WYLIE MIDDLE SCHOOL. THE FORSYTH COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE SAYS FEDERAL OFFICIALS HELPED IDENTIFY THE SOURCE OF YESTERDAY’S THREAT. THAT JUVENILE IS NOW CHARGED WITH COMMUNICATING THREATS OF MASS VIOLENCE ON EDUCATIONAL PROPERTY. IN COMMITMENT 2024, HEADLINES, THE BALLOT FOR NOVEMBER IS STILL NOT SET HERE IN NORTH CAROLINA. AFTER THE CANDIDATES IN TWO RACES DID NOT RECEIVE MORE THAN 30% OF THE VOTE DURING THE MARCH PRIMARY. SO TODAY IS ELECTION DAY FOR THOSE RUNOFF RACES, VOTERS WILL CHOOSE REPUBLICAN NOMINEES FOR LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR, AS WELL AS STATE AUDITOR. POLLS OPEN IN LESS THAN 30 MINUTES. AT 630 THIS MORNING. THEY WILL CLOSE AT 730 TONIGHT. AS A REMINDER, A PHOTO ID IS REQUIRED TO CAST YOUR BALLOT. FOR NUMBERING THOSE WHO MADE THE ULTIMATE SACRIFICE SERVING THEIR COMMUNITIES, HUNDREDS OF NAMES OF OFFICERS KILLED IN THE LINE OF DUTY ARE NEWLY ENGRAVED ON THE WALLS OF THE NATIONAL LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS MEMORIAL IN WASHINGTON, DC. THIS INCLUDES TWO OFFICERS FROM THE TRIAD. AS OUR KENNY BECK REPORTS FROM DC. THE CEREMONY COINCIDES WITH NATIONAL POLICE WEEK. MONDAY NIGHT’S CANDLELIGHT VIGIL HERE ON THE NATIONAL MALL IN WASHINGTON, DC WAS BOTH WONDERFUL, BUT ALSO PAINFUL. THE PIEDMONT TRIAD LOST TWO MEMBERS OF LAW ENFORCEMENT TO LINE OF DUTY DEATHS LAST YEAR. GREENSBORO POLICE SERGEANT DALE NIX AND FORSYTH COUNTY SHERIFF’S DEPUTY AUSTIN RIDLEHUBER. THEIR NAMES ARE NOW ENGRAVED ON THE NATIONAL LAW ENFORCEMENT MEMORIAL HERE IN THE NATION’S CAPITAL, ALONG WITH 24,000 OF THEIR BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN BLUE. PHILIP DALE NIX. IT’S KNOWN AS THE ROLL CALL OF HEROES. MONDAY NIGHT IN DC, DOZENS FROM THE TRIAD WERE THERE TO ANSWER THE CALL FOR THEIR LOVED ONES AND COLLEAGUES. WHAT’S IT LIKE FOR YOU BEING HERE TODAY? IT’S SO OVERWHELMING. IT’S OVERWHELMING. I MEAN, YOU KNOW, LAW ENFORCEMENT IS A FAMILY. YOU JUST DON’T REALIZE HOW BIG A FAMILY IT IS TODAY IS IS PAINFULLY BEAUTIFUL. UM, I’M HONORED TO BE ABLE TO BE HERE TO, YOU KNOW, STAND IN THE GAP AND REPRESENT THE NIX FAMILY. GREENSBORO. SERGEANT DALE NIX WAS 50 YEARS OLD WHEN HE WAS SHOT TO DEATH, CONFRONTING A GROUP OF PEOPLE SUSPECTED OF STEALING BEER FROM A COLFAX CONVENIENCE STORE. DECEMBER 30TH, 2023. I’VE NEVER BEEN TO POLICE MEMORIAL WEEK. I’VE HAD PLENTY OF FRIENDS TALK ABOUT THAT. THE HONOR GUARD AT GREENSBORO POLICE DEPARTMENT HOLDS THIS EVENT IN HIGH REGARD. BUT WHEN I STEPPED OFF THAT BUS TODAY, IT JUST FELT LIKE A WAVE OF TREMENDOUS EMOTION, BUT ALSO PRIDE FOR HEROES AND LAW ENFORCEMENT. THE NAMES OF SERGEANT NIX AND 281 OTHER NEW HEROES ARE NOW ENGRAVED ON THE NATIONAL LAW ENFORCEMENT MEMORIAL, ABOUT A 15 MINUTE WALK FROM MONDAY NIGHT’S VIGIL ON THE MALL FROM THE STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA. AUSTIN SMITH RURAL HALL UBER ALSO NOW ON THAT SOLEMN WALL, FORSYTH COUNTY SHERIFF’S DEPUTY AUSTIN RIDLEHUBER, WHO WAS IN HIS PATROL CAR ON HIGHWAY 150 AND DAVIDSON COUNTY WHEN A TRUCK DRIVER HIT HIM HEAD ON EARLY IN THE MORNING OF SEPTEMBER 9TH. THIS NATIONAL VIGIL WAS ALSO TWO WEEKS TO THE DAY AFTER THE DEADLIEST ATTACK ON LAW ENFORCEMENT SINCE 2016, WHEN FOUR MEN WERE GUNNED DOWN TRYING TO SERVE A WARRANT IN CHARLOTTE. MOST PEOPLE IN LAW ENFORCEMENT KNOW SOMEONE DIRECTLY WHOSE NAMES ARE ON OUR VERY SACRED WALLS, AND SO EACH OF THOSE DEATHS REPRESENTS AN IMPACT AND A JUST A SHATTERING ACROSS THE LAW ENFORCEMENT COMMUNITY. THAT’S VERY HARD TO DESCRIBE. AND WE TRY TO HONOR THAT HERE TONIGHT. IT’S PAIN THAT YOU CANNOT FATHOM. AND THE THING ABOUT THIS IS ALMOST EVERYBODY HERE HAS FELT THAT PAIN AND IT’S A PAIN THAT UNTIL YOU UNFORTUNATELY WIND UP HERE, YOU WILL NEVER KNOW WHAT IT’S LIKE. THAT WAS KENNY BECK REPORTING THE NATIONAL LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS MEMORIAL FUND PUTS ON THAT EVENT EACH YEAR. IT’S A NONPROFIT THAT ALSO RUNS A MUSEUM HERE WE HAVE A LINK WHERE YOU CAN LEARN MORE ABOUT THE ORGANIZATION R
