there has been a little breeze. other than that you can't really complain about the way his look today was not compared to yesterday. the temperatures are 55 and that's your current temperature in charlotte. 54 in salisbury. your temperature is 53 in shelby and 41 is your temperature in boone right now. the wind though has also been a factor. you my look at these wind speeds and it is not a big deal, and you're right. they are not a big deal. anywhere from five to ten to 15 mile-an-hour winds takes the already cool temperatures and makes them feel a lot cooler. so even if you have a light breeze or so it would seem, it can make the difference in a feel. the winds will be dying down. we know we have clear skies. you put those two things together and you have just a cool air mass in place. it will be really chilly tonight. we are talking about a freeze warning for all of the blue counties. we are talking about a frost advisory for the darker blue, the purplish

what this means is is just about everybody has a chance to get close to freezing that there could be damage. if you have any plants outside you want to protect, cover those up and bring them in if you can. the highest elevation you may think that is interesting that you don't have any watch warning or advisory. that's really just because you haven't really seen your growing season start yet. there is just not really a need to have that in place. clear skies in the highest elevations. avery and ash and watauga. you can see the snow peck tour you have in the background it was definitely melting and this is what i mean at the highest elevations. you have no snow and even the highest elevations and even the ski slopes you are seeing that snow melt quickly. we'll take a look at this. your starting out temperature is close to the 32-degree mark. by 8:00 a.m. we start to rebound. we are adding in a little sunshine and that means

57 is is your midday temperature. plenty of sun from the beginning to the end. so looking nice. tomorrow it is actually feeling nice. today we had high pressure in place. we haven't picked up very much warm air yet. we are still ahead of the warm air. the same high-pressure system will be in control, but it moves far enough off to the east and it will bring up our temperatures. on sunday your high was 47 degrees. we have already added on more than 10 degrees. it will do the same thing tomorrow and by then we are talking mid70 ises for high temperatures. the wind is really coming out of the west or the southwest and really starting to make a difference by then. we have had a lot of pollen issues and allergy issues. for your tuesday and wednesday

going back up. the rain washed things down and it cleared out the atmosphere. 67 is your tuesday. the high after morning time low close to freezing and 75 on wednesday and 74 on thursday. another rain chance comes in thursday night to friday morning. easter weekend it doesn't look half bad. we are you can taying about upper 60s. the best chance of rain is on easter sunday. maureen, we will send things back over to you. >> maureen: thomas davis and the harlem globe trotters are teaming up for a famous message. the abc's of bullying prevention. the kids learned about action, bravery and compassion. >> our anti-bullying program
