it. they have not had to clean water since april 2014 and this was a source to save money and since then the water has shown elevated level of lead. people are calling in to protest the conditions of schools and classrooms where they teach. there is mold the key people from teaching and have filed an injunction request. it's hard to believe we're talking about all of this but there is a new weather record and 2015 was the hottest year in history and they had been keeping record for the last 36 years last year was more than 20% warmer. the warm temperatures are fueled in part by one of the

it's cruel of us to use things like warm and hot in the good news is that tomorrow morning will not be in the teens and tomorrow afternoon will be the warmest day we have had. we are looking at a significant weather event and friday and saturday we will get you updated ice and snow totals. skies will clear and we will see some sunshine tomorrow. it won't warmest up a lot but definitely warmer than they have that. we still have a little bit of the windchill and it will feel like 20. plenty of sunshine throughout the day and no precipitation. a boring weather day we are okay with it. look it up to 38 degrees by lunchtime which is about the high today was still feel like 34 degrees on the way to 44

this is doubly warmer than where we have been and we had some snow here earlier and we look to the midwest in texas and our weather is coming from there. this area continues to develop in texas and will ride above the southern part of the united states. a couple of changes over the past 24 hours and the track an area of low pressure which are quickly due to hurricane and it has started to shift farther to the south and what that does is allow the cold air to come farther to the south meaning we have a better chance of seeing freezing rain and snow and ice and what will happen is the rain will move up and right on top of the cold air. this will make for a complicated forecast and

and we think that the predominant precipitation on friday will be freezing rain where it falls through the atmosphere gets closer to the surface and freezes and this causes problems with driving, trees falling on power lines and power outages. by tomorrow lunchtime we are sunny and a pretty decent day considering that as we get into early friday morning here comes precipitation from the southwest we're moving into more and spreading over a good portion by the friday morning commute and it could be freezing rain and snow that could cause a mass on the morning commute and could continue into parts of friday afternoon. the warmer rain will start to push freezing rain and snow farther and by friday evening it's more of a cold rain and

in. it will continue parts of overnight and on the backend more cold air will come in and saturday morning we will see the rain and freezing rain turned to snow, mainly from the triangle. this continues to parts of saturday afternoon and as you can see, it is a lot of weather and a lot of it could be frozen. we think that these conditions could be worse and now it looks to the north of raleigh up to the virginia border and a quarter inch of ice just outside the area. the further north you go this is the first estimate of what totals could be like and the lowest totals where they will see more rain down in the sand hills, 1 to 3 inches through

could take off 3 to 5 and then 5 inches and a lot more of that as we had northwest into virginia. that number will change and one thing that will not is the winter storm watch and it's in place because travel will be dangerous friday and saturday. it will not change and anytime between 3 am and 10 pm is when the winter weather will come and 125 inches of snow with dangerous travel. in the meantime pretty decent day tomorrow with some sunshine and temperatures in the 40s and no precipitation. as you know this is not the case friday and saturday in these days will not get out of the 30s and then 50s, we next
