california. meteorologist: a couple more issues to get through. the fog the next few hours and the heavy rain tomorrow. then, nice and quiet. for several days. we deserve it after the last couple weeks around here. temperatures starting to climb in many areas. been a slow process. they'll continue to do so. but clinton leading the way now. wait until you see what their temperature's doing. we should bust up into the 40's and low oose by sun rise, around the triangle. but that will be accompanied by some heavy rain. now we have the fog there. hardly can see it blue there's terminal two at r.d.u. about a half-inch of melted presiptation in terms of snow. a little bit of that sleet and freezing rain. the fog again an issue. visibility down less than .8 of a mile at smithfield. about .1 of a mile at r.d.u. generally a quarter mile or less in this yellow shaded area. that's going to continue for several more hours as the warmer air surges in toward two, three -- 2:00, 3:00, 4:00 a.m. that should scour the fog out. shouldn't be an issue in the morning but we'll have other problems then with the rain.

of any frozen precipitation. that winter storm warning for person and orange county in fkt until 7:00. for just what's on the ground. you can see nothing else was falling there. that warning really is only for just the icy roads that may still be going on in some of those areas where you had heavier freezing rain. 33 at r.d.u. right now. humidity at 96. barely above freezing. it's been a fight to get temperatures to warm up. here's the leading edge of that really warm air. right over sampson county. 51 there. near fayetteville and goldsboro, still stuck in the 30's. that warmer air should continue to go inland. i don't think we're going to get into the 60's but it is 61 at wilmington. it's been that all afternoon while we've been stuck in an icy air mass with temperatures in the 20's and 30's. this cold air is dense. extends all the way down to columbia. so it's taking a really long time for it to scour out but it will as stronger wind as i head of this storm begin to bring that warmer air in. look at the showers and storms.

georgia right now. and strong severe thunderstorms in south georgia. freezing rain advisory north of atlanta and a tornado watch in south georgia. very dynamic system here with all kinded of weather. we're on the warmer side of it or we will be. threat of winter weather is over. now we look ahead to the potential for some gusty winds and heavy rain tomorrow morning. rest of the overnight, scattered areas of light rain. watch what happens as we get toward sun rise. the heavy rain begins to pick up. a line of showers comes our way. may not be much thunder or lightning with this but strong winds may be able to mix on the surface with this, especially as it gets to the coastal plain. this will be -- plane. this will be a slow one. ice on the roadways will get washed away but the heavy rain, reduces visibility. ponding of water on the roadways and the potential for an isolated damaging wind gust going from winter weather to spring weather and the threat, small threat, marginal risk of severe weather tomorrow. i think the bigger threat's going to be the heavy rain.

half of rainfall in this quick-hitting system during the morning hours could cause some issues again with some minor flooding. highs tomorrow, though, the good news is, your ride home from work or school tomorrow is going to be much, much better than the ride in, with temperatures up around 60 by afternoon. so low to mid 60's to the south and sunshine. so hang on. fran looks good. look at wednesday, maybe a spotty light shower early on. but really quiet weather and the weekend, into the 60's. going to love that. tisha: that's what we're looking forward to. thank you. the sequel awakens. the two big secrets revealed about the next "star wars" film. steve: plus roughed up. how this furry four-legged (donkey sound) (elephant sound) there's a big difference between making noise, (tapping sound) and making sense.
