this is when it will arrive and it happened exactly as you forecasted it. >> we appreciate the patience of the viewers. we were on the air for this and the data was very good. i can still remember and lyndsay is over there talking about patrick and talking about shara and rolling up along highway one. have a look at this map, maureen. it was almost uncanny how it followed highway 1 into north carolina where it was a problem in richmond county as well. the ef0 which is a category of 85 miles an hour winds. and the storms are producing this wind even in the absence of the tornado. that's what we were trying to stress yesterday. this was the motion of the storm off to the northeast. there is patrick. highway 1. this was happening between 3:16 and throughy:25 in the

afternoon. you can see the snow associated with it. it is across avery county and it is still pretty active into mitchell and yancey counties. it is likely we will add another one to two inches in the populated areas and perhaps even three or four more on the highest elevations in the ski slope areas and on the western slopes. the current wind gusts are no joke. it is still blowing up there about 41 miles per hour. still a wind advisory in affect. along with that winter weather advisory for that additional accumulating snow. look at this. wind gusts 20 to 30 miles an hour. there it is. you are heading out in the queen city. you know how that wind can channel through the skyscrapers. if you are heading in the uptown area you can expect the wind gusts. the temperatures won't fall that quickly. the wind does mix the air and so it doesn't cool as efficiently near the surface. beyond that have a look at the

it is still hanging around the mountains. how does it look for your out the door forecast. no matter what your level of skiing is, you know what, it is snowing. that's all that matters. it will be tapering off. the temperature is about 23 degrees during the morning hours. we take you here back closer to charlotte. another cold start and 35. that's at 8:00. the official low is probably below freezing in the queen city that will be the case over the next three days. the snow will continue to lighten up and taper off as we take you through the day on friday. closer to charlotte and the temperatures will start off again at 35 around 8:00 and take you up to about 50 with a brief surge into the low 50s for those official high temperatures. so your seven-day first alert forecast, 53 and a beautiful day on friday. we will carry that into saturday and sunday as well. it looks to be great. mid50s on saturday and then how about mid60s on sunday. outside of that a gorgeous day

maybe a few clouds increasing. tuesday near 70 and then we have to watch another front coming our way. likely thunderstorms on wednesday of next week. at this point it didn't look like an ideal severe situation. as the data gets better and we get closer things can still change. keep it here and we'll keep you updated. >> thank you. he is the little dog that has captured hearts all over the world. tonight brody has a new home. the six week old puppy was shot 18 times with a bb gun. two teens were arrested. hundreds of people wanted to adopt brody, but he is going to just one very special person with a very special story. describes sten hampton has tonight's good news. >> reporter: a bond between a child and her dog is something no person could come between. but eventually life breaks all bonds and even the hearts of 10-year-old girls.
