Its hard to believe its been 15 years. Its like you said earlier. In some ways it seems like it was yesterday. In other ways it seems like it and its just one of those things where its on your mind all day sitting right back there. Got to make this quick, i guess. I took my oldest son up there to the memorial a few years ago and one of the most moving things to me was not the big memorial and thats great. Sure. But there was one building where there were 11 victims in that building and somebody built a little reflecting pool in the building split up into 11 equal parts seconds a drop of water drops from the ceiling into each one of those compartments to be symbolic of a tear being shed for that victim.

Were getting a little relief, cool front limping through the area. There isnt the radar and see whats going on there. There isnt much at the moment and what there has been is south and east of raleigh. Well show you a couple spots to see the one and two showers you do have. This one sort of oscillating in intensity across southern cumberland county. That holds together, maybe some of you here in western Sampson County south of roseville could see that in the 45 minutes. Off to the east we have some additional showers and we see those very close to pine top south of scarboro all shifting eastward. The more substantial thunderstorm activity is to the east down toward the albemarle sound. We dont anticipate that kind of activity in our viewing area tonight. Today many areas got to 90 or higher. Thats day 65 now of 90 degrees or higher and that ranks eighth this date, but if you just look at it from july 1st through now, were tied for first place in terms of the number of days at or above 90. Still warm with midand upper 70s around the local area and pretty much the same deal across the entire area. Fayetteville is still sitting at 80. High temperatures across the country, the 90s now confined to the extreme southeast with cooler less humid weather off to the north and west. We wont get the full takes of that but at taste of that the course of the next couple days, big chunk of real estate with fair skies and heres the boundary between the warm humid air pushed away at least in part from all this comfortable air over the nations midsection. If we look at the overall temperature pattern, these ping and gray shading pink and gray shading indicating where the hottest temperatures are, that gets suppressed nicely the next couple days and then another frontal system arrives back especially heading toward friday and saturday. Overall this week should be considerably more tolerable than what we experienced last week. All right. For the rest of the night i think for most of us the shower threat is over, again just a slight chance in our far southeastern counties, overnight low 68 and then looking for a partly sunny day, best chance of showers and thunderstorms, southern pines, goldsboro, fayetteville, clinton, those areas. The farther north, the less chances. Pretty much the same scenario tuesday, warmup with 90, another chance of a thunderstorm thursday with the next cold front that will send temperatures tumbling again at least a little bit by the end of the week. That is all i got. Temperatures tumbling . Well, that may be overstating it just a little. I like to see that, though. Thanks. Nfl full swing. Thats right.
