chance, none of this looks like it's crippling. i was remembering, i was telling mike mays, when i was in salisbury, maryland before i came here, christmas of 1980, we have had a low of zero and 36 hours later it was raining. not that we are going to be down to zero. we could have something akin to that heading in to monday. let's start with what is going on now, we will progress in to the future down the road. i believe we are starting with the radar. there is the dual doppler 5000 showing the little snow flurry activity, moving or patches of it, moving from west to east, most of it is well east of the triangle area now. those areas east won't be dealing with this, for very long. temperatures at this hour are below freezing alreadies at roxboro and greensboro and asheboros south hill at freezing. everybody else in the mid and upper 30s, if we lock at the

is bone dry, when you get this spread between the temperature and the dew point, a low relative humidity and so, if you are one of those people, likes to play tricks on your friends and rub your feet in to the carpet and so forth, and go up and nail them, this is a great time of year to do that. as we look at the radar, see this stuff streaking towards the south and east here, this is one of the series of impulses in the upper atmosphere, moving along in the north westerly flow, a lot of this falls apart as it crosses the appalachian mountains and not looking for flurry activity tonight. there is another disturbance, coming along in the flow on friday, that could give us a couple of flurrys. the water vapor continuing to show this troth in the eastern part of the country. the southern branch of the jet suppressed down to southern florida, down towards cuba, at least we don't have to worry about the branch of the jet doing any nasty things to us. always have to keep an eye as

let's look at the upper level wind flow. lots of north westerly flow, lots of cold air, no big secret there. looks like a impulse is going the come along, you can see the intire polar vortex, this is the real one, not one that is talked about by people that like to give cold air and name. this is an actual entity we are looking at here, this is the core of the cold air over eastern canada, that sinks down in to northern new england and new york city could see temperatures close to zero, as we head towards sunday morning. the cold air begins to retreat, will it retreat quickly enough before the next system in the upper atmosphere comes along, if it comes in, early enough on monday, we could see frozen stuff for a while. now, odds are favoring it would go to rain for the primary part of the system monday night and in to tuesday. later next week, signs of a big warm p, a chance we could be

8:00 p.m., 34, becoming mostly clear, and late tonight down to 20, tomorrow, another cold day, this time sunny from start to finish and a high of 40. on friday, a chance of a couple of flurrys and 38, very cold but dry over the weekend, we will keep an eye on the monday system to see if we can yank something frozen out of it for a little bit. >> no ma monotony. >> last night's game with boston college and north carolina extremely close, we have an update on coach roy williams and cam ward lacks
