mainly in the 20s. 30s in irwin, and 23 in sanford. here come some clouds ahead of our cold front back to our west. we have a warm front stretched ahead of it. the warm front slips by us early tomorrow and that will bring us a slight chance of showers and a nice mild temperature for tomorrow and friday. then this slow moving front moves on through and that's going to help to bring us cooler temperatures by saturday and sunday. but in general it looks nice. if you're jumping on a plan to head out, it looks like that most of our major hubs are looking good. even if you're not flying to one of those, it's a good thing because, you know, if you have snow up here in new york, and maybe your plane is going to denver, maybe that plan had to come here first and there's that trickle down effect of airport delays, and last time bryan was showing the airport delays, everything was looking pretty good. he'll show us that again coming up in a lit by. dry up and down the east coast,

snow up in minneapolis, denver dry. snow in the rockies and the sierra. and then rain from seattle all the way down to san fransisco. so, not a bad travel forecast, it could be worse. we see increasing clouds today, especially after lunchtime. cloudy skies tonight and warmer temperatures. in the mid-40s instead of the mid- 20s, big jump in our temperature tomorrow morning. at 5:00, a little bit of light patchy rain. 7 a.m., after that, it moves shouldn't see any more rain pass mid to late morning and the afternoon skies will be broken. partly to mostly cloudy skies. and friday we may hang on to cloud cover, too. 58 degrees for today. 65 tomorrow. we start at 44 so it's going to be a much warmer start. by lunchtime the rain should be out of here with a temperature of 59 and by 5

61. un state at unc, 69 during the afternoon. so looking good. if you're traveling on sunday, temperatures back into the mid-50s by the travel map looks very much like our travel map for today. rain in the mid-section of the country, snow up to the northeast, and back across the rockies, and rain on the west coast. by tuesday, we get into a better chance for rain here, possibly a few scattered thunderstorms. and of course that's a long from now but we'll talk more about that as we get closer. bryan, it's quiet now. but this afternoon may be messy. >> around the ham stores especially. give you that heads up today. go and plan on an alternate route if any of those are along your routes. 7:38. the live commute map, major routes are fine. light traffic volume as is usually the case of morning before

couple crashes, in garner, 730 business eastbound at timber drive. a delay from the 401 split toward garner. a report of a car fire in a rural area east of raleigh. in the central part of raleigh, east central part of raleigh, a crash on newborn avenue and king william drive. looks like things are cleared up nicely. north side of raleigh looking fine. and in durham no problems so far. looking pretty good if you're headed to the airport. heading to any of the major hubs along the east coast. this is a general idea of ground stops or other traffic delays the faa is seeing, so far so good. on the northern side of the eastern seaboard.

report either. check with your airline for your specific flight. back to you. >> thanks, bryan. michael jordan has won more than his share of awards on some amazing stages over the year and last night michael jordan topped the awards with the presidential medal of freedom. the 21 members of the class of 2016 the president called impressive. they inspired him. jordan's name is next to excellence. >> michael jordan of neuro surgeons or michael jordan of rabbis or the michael jordan of out rigging canoeing. they know what you're talking about because michael jordan is the michael jordan of greatness. he is the definition of somebody
