this week long trial is that the state was able to find a vivid recycling election of what happened on may 16, 1996. it was a long time ago and now february 29, 2016 will also be a day they will never forget. a jury found chris guilty after deliberating for an hour and a half of first degree murder an automatic life sentence before he was sentenced he was given a chance to speak in court. >> you don't have to say anything if you don't want to but if you would like to this would be the chance to do it. >> yes, sir. i just wish to say i did not do this, sir. that's all i can say. >> yes you did. yes you did. yes you did. >> were you shocked that he said that? >> no not at all. he didn't think he was going to get caught.

many times in spring here it's not quite yet but getting close. grand day no question about that and a similar day coming up tomorrow. let's first review what we did today with regard to high temperatures. these are the highest hourly readings so a few areas including the raleigh durham airport made it to 73. highest hourly reading 72, fayetteville 74, hatterus suffering from the chilly water and kept temperatures down there down to 589 right notch while most other--59 right now while most other areas in the 60s to near 70 so a pleasant evening for anything to do outside. the water vapor imagery the two systems stand out pretty well here. this is the first one and this one will be heading eastward picking up moisture from the gulf of mexico generating severe weather over the next couple of days over the plains and mississippi river valley by

be in a weakened state giving us a few showers as we head towards tuesday night into wednesday morning and there will be a push of cool air behind it. now the system behind that is beginning to come into the pacific northwest and the computer models have been having a dickens of a time trying to resolve that system to observe it and see the structure of it and what it's going to do but now that it's close to coming inland into the western united states with the weather network a better idea what that system looks like and what it will do later in the week. there is a chance there will be enough cold air around so wet snow flakes might mix in with rain sometime late thursday night into early friday morning but at this point it doesn't look like a scary situation with regard to winter weather something that would remind you the early portion of march. let's take a look at all of this from a simulation standpoint with the upper level

temperatures. today of course we were green and yellow so it was nice and mild and will be mild again tomorrow despite an increase in the amount of cloud cover in the afternoon. system number one you see the bend in the lines right there will be coming on through tomorrow night into early wednesday with showers. notice behind that the colors turn more blue so it will definitely be cooler as we head on into wednesday and thursday and the next system coming through again perhaps making use of the cool air at the least to give us a chilly rain thursday night into friday morning with the possibility of a few wet snow flakes mixed in north and west of raleigh. after that we are simply cool and dry over the weekend but definitive signs of a big warm up across much of the central and eastern part of the country as we head deeper into next week look at all of the oranges here beginning to advance towards the north and east so a real taste of spring into next week we shall see.

skies nice and mild comfy for taking a walk or anything else you'd like to do and late tonight down to 42 the air is dry so big ranges in temperature from the day time high tonight time low. tomorrow lots of sunshine a few clouds in the afternoon and 72 and a bit breezy as well. then the showers come in tuesday night into wednesday morning. cooler on wednesday and thursday and more rain thursday night into friday morning and again a few flakes in the air other than the walking around. [laughter] >> thanks for explaining that. thank you greg. >> a very festive jeff gradually is here. >> i don't do pocket squares but this is an appropriate thing to wear today and i do have gifts for you. i plucked some feathers for you. take one down and pass it around. >> thank you. >> remember this monumental day >> definitely. thank you. >> let's proceed on. spelling out the reason for the
