We are heading out to south hill, where theres just a little bit of cloud cover mixed with some sun. We had this interesting little plume of moisture that dropped in on us mainly just east of south hill all the way cub to to Roanoke Rapids and rocky mount. Its mostly out of here. Well see more sun today. It was kind of interesting, all of the sudden, at lunch time we had showers and thunderstorms that developed. It didnt affect many people in the viewing area. If it like, whoa, look at that. Showers and storms. 72 degrees. Look at our temperature. And our dew point 66. So it feels okay out there. A little on the warm side. Slightly muggy, but not overwhelmingly so. It is 70 in Roanoke Rapids, and 71 in south hill. So this was the area that was dealing with those showers and thunderstorms yesterday, even down toward tarboro and rocky mount. Temperatures there now are in the low 70s. Is 71 degrees in chapel hill. Head south, it is 73 in southern pines, 74 in goldsboro. And it is going to stay hot, at least for the next few days. Now, i would i would wager a bet this is going to be our last long stretch of highs in the 09s. Just you look at the statistics, this is our minor million High Temperature. 85 today. Then it troops off to 83 by early next week. Its just hard to have temperatures in the mid90s. I mean thats pushing records the you dont typically have 5 or 6 days in a row with temperatures near record highs very often. This may be our last 90s. It should probably, wont likely be our last day with highs in the 90s by any means, but at least maybe our long stretch. 95 today, 94 tomorrow, 92 saturday, 90 on sunday, and then the areas of next week does look like it will be feeling a little better, with highs in the 80s, mid to upper 8 0s, but 8 0s nonetheless. High pressure keeps things hot for us today. Theres a look at that little plume of moisture thats been coming down from pennsylvania into eastern North Carolina. It will continue to shift eastward, but you can rain associated there. A little bit of cloud cover again in that area this morning, and maybe a tiny shower before it all moves away from us by lunch time. After that, through the and, mostly cloudy and hot, hot, hot. We watch some showers and storms trying to develop up into the mountains, and eventually a cool front drops in on us by sunday. But even then, as we get closer and closer to sunday our chances for rain look lower and lower. Sunday and monday, only about a 20 chance. Between now and then, it 10. So just going be dry, dry, dry, and hot, too. Heres look at our heat index. This is the way it will feel through the afternoon. By 2 00, 90, and 99 by 4 00 this afternoon. Over the weekend, prepare for it to feel hot. But we wont be near records. 92 saturday, 90 on sunday. So its going to be hot, not likely to have much in terms of showers and thunderstorms. But then finally we do cool things down by the time we get into next week with mid80s. Back to you.

Next, low business beth garner speaks with nasa scientists about the osiris rex, and its mission to an asteroid and back. And theres a new iphone to clamor over this morning. Well take a look at the upgraded features and how the spacecraft is called, the spectral interpretation resources identification security regularoluth explorer or osiris rex for short. It will travel to ans a strikeout named vinu near earth. Joining me now is nasa solar system ambassador tony rice. Always good to have you on. Wonderful to hear sort of a local perspective about what all of this means, and venu v,nu . Well go with that. The name has a local tie. Tell us about that. It does. Periodically nasa will have some contests to encourage School Children to get involved, understand these missions a little better, encourage them to come up with the names. Kids are so much better coming up with the names than the scientists are. We are in love with the acronyms. A young man, michael pizio, i believe his name, from greensboro, came one the winning name. It ties in with the mission so well. Thats exciting. A kid from greensboro named the asteroid. We said its near earth. We were talking to nasa scientists about and hour ago, and, of course, know its going to take what . Five years to get this data back once its collected. Its really long way away, but its considered close. Are there any implications for an asteroid that close, having effects on earth . This particular asteroid weve been watching for quite some time. Its number three on our list of asteroids that could potentially impact earth. Numbers and figure out what the chances of that are, its 1 in 2,700. It wont happen until late 22nd century. Really nothing for us to worry about now. Thats interesting, because i dont know that much about it, and i feel like im sitting on the other side of the fence now. Last week we were talking about Tropical Storm hermine, and we were talking about pensioner and that sort of thing. Im thinking to myself, it may not be such a big deal for us. Actually sounds, number 3 on your list. It sounds not scary necessarily. Interesting. Its something we need to keep our eye on. In addition going and getting the asteroid sample, bring it back to earth so we can study it, were going to be studying how that asteroid moves through space and how solar Energy Impacts it so we can better understand those orbits, really improve those predictions and percentages with those nearearth asteroids so we understand how much of a threat they might be. So the reason nasa is asteroid is because there may be some close to how earth developed, maybe how some other solar systems, life in other places, other universes may happen. But its the first time this has been possible. This is a very special spacecraft theyre sending . It is. And the reason we go to an asteroid is the asteroid is the leftovers, if you will, of when our solar system was put together, didnt go through the same kind of very violent history that our earth did. Solar system and understand what the make up of that material was, see if theres any water ice there, see if theres any, you know, possible Building Block of life, bring that back, and study it. And this is a very special craft thats doing this. Weve never been able to do this previously. Right. Its going to bounce off a comet. Its a disk about this big around that is basically going to basically like a pogo stick. Hit the asteroid very, very briefly. Its about 5 seconds, vacuum up that material, put it in as have the we can bring back to earth in 2023. Very, very complicated. You have more about it on a blog. Yes. You can find that on wral. Com. Thats correct. Thanks so many, tony. Fascinating stuff. The language at 7 05 tonight. You can catch live coverage of the launch on nasa tv starting at 4 30 this afternoon, and more information about the mission of course, on our web site with tonys blog on wral. Com. Well be right back with its friday , and everythings going to be all right. Its 95 degrees outside. Going to be all right. And its going to be all early august. We dont have weeks and weeks and weeks to look forward to, you know, highs in the mid90s. Hop this is the last long hot stretch. Its probably the last hoorah. It easily could be the last time we hit mid90s this year. It wont be the last tile we hit 90s, but maybe the last time we hit mid90s. Well see. Lets check out whats going on. Were heading back to south hill, where it looks beautiful. A mix of sun and cloud cover. Our temperature at the airport is 72. Feels fine out. Our 5 miles per hour. Southwesterly win typically does bring in a little additional moisture. Our dew points starting to creep up just a little bit to 66, may climb into the upper 60s this afternoon. So a little more humid, and certainly its going to be hot this afternoon. 70 in henderson, 70 in rocksboro, and 76 in south hill. 74 in tarboro, 73 in southern pines, and 74 over in goldsboro. Its going to be staying hot around here, though, guess. Today 95, tomorrow 94, 92 saturday, 90 on sunday. We drop back into the 80s on monday. But look at our normals p. Line is normal. So 85 today. A lot of things happen pretty quickly in september. Our normal High Temperature drops quickly, more quickly than it does in the middle of summer. And our daylight also shrinks real rapidly, too. We lose a lot of daylight during the month september as we move closer to the solstice, which is just about two weeks from now. Were starting to see another little shower, bam, there just north of our viewing area. Dont be surprised in the eastern part of hampton two.

Nobody is going to this affected by this blip except if youre up in North Hampton county or maybe as far west as Roanoke Rapids. Thats it. A tiny portion of our viewing area. Taking a look whats going on out in the tropics. Of course were not having to talk ab anymore. Its falling apart. Here is another wave developing. The Hurricane Center says give that a 60 developing next 5 days. Something we will continue to watch. Hot today, 95, feeling like almost 100. On friday last friday, all the games got washed out because of hermine. Instead the complete opposite problem. It will be bright, sunny, and hot, 7 00. Sun starts to go down by 7 00. Still 86 degrees. Weekend. Begins today, probably going see system of the bigger crowds on saturday. 92 for hopscotch for the high. About midafternoon. By 6 00, 87, and at 9 00, 80 degrees. A front cops through on sunday. And we were kind of holding out some hope it would bring us rain. But its looking like maybe a 20 chance at best. Does look like it will drop our temperatures. Well see highs in the mid80s for monday, tuesday, and wednesday. So a little break in the heat is coming. L,na . A thank you.
