New tonight, praise from the North Carolina naacp over its handling of judges decision to throw out congressional voting maps created five years ago. The move comes weeks before the state primary. How it could impact you. Moving forward. Reporter blatant disregard for fundamental redirecting principles is absurd and stands the Voting Rights act on its head. Reporter that was the reaction of those gathered at an naacpsponsored press conference one day after federal judges declared congressional voting maps in North Carolina, the results of illegal racial gerrymandering. I want you to know that that is exactly what reverend barber and naacp members said to the when these districts were first made public. Reporter and despite the opposite ruling from state Supreme Court judges in december, it appears federal judges agree with the naacp. That race was the main factor in drawing lines for districts one and 12. As a result, lawmakers now need to come up with new boundaries for those two districts within the next two weeks. Or the state could try to get a stay from an appeals court. Assuming there is no stay, then elections cannot proceed under the current district. Reporter but if lawmakers cannot draw up new districts in time primaries could be pushed back. Or if a stay is granted, districts could stay the same and voting would take place as planned for now. This uncertainty coupled with the ruling itself are leading to negative responses from many g. O. P. Lawmakers. For example, the chairman of the house and Senate Redistricting committees released this following joint statement. It says in part, quote, we are surprised and disappointed by decision that throws an election already under way into turmoil. Should this decision be allowed to stand, North Carolina voters will no longer know how or when they will get to cast their primary ballots. End quote. You can look for their full response and other official reaction on our website, www. Abc11v. Com. In durham, abc 11 Eyewitness News.

North Carolina House democratic leader larry hall and Senate Leader dan blue were there. They were this years grand marshalls. Marshals. The theme was give us the ballot which was held at the prayer pill grmage. It was nice to have some sunshine to start off the week. It sounds like we could see some snow but really just depending on where you will have, right . Liz yeah, right. Exactly. If you live south and east the better likelihood of it seems counterintuitive and northern sections would be the ones getting it but this time its not. Rain expected if we have even that. For our northern sections, rain and snow mix likely down to the south and east. Your sevenday outlook on there in the corner of your screen. Lets take you through why the southeastern sections will be seeing it. This is shaping up to be a coastal storm. Lets take you to our satellite radar image. You can see here all of this wind spinning up in a thats showing you the center of low pressure right here off the coast of florida. Move north just a little bit. This probably right off the coast of about daytona beach, ormand beach continuing and move off to the north and east and plant itself right off the southeast coast of North Carolina. When that happens, going to send a surge of moisture here. And as our temperature drops overnight well start to see some of the rain turn to maybe a little icy mix. But mostly snow. You can see the low forming and the rain already starting down here in South Carolina. Well continue to see these showers move up and i did get a report that they had sleet and right now our radar indicates it will mostly be rain. And overnight things could be getting a little more precarious. Well continue to watch that. Dont be surprised, though, if you do see some precipitation with rain and snow mixed in. It does not look to be a major event in terms of accumulation. 32 roxboro. 30 oxford and any precipitation different situation. But most of it is going to stay to the south and east. 38 right now in raleigh and 37 on the ground in stanford and 40 in fayetteville. We take you through tonight. Likely drop down to 34 in fayetteville. 30 in durham and stanford and 31 in ral and i 20s are possible for many of our northern sections and most of the snow does look to be east and south of the triangle. As of sunday, were talking 40s for most of us. 47 raleigh durham. 48 there in fayetteville. And clinton. 45 in roxboro. Mostly cloudy skies and the amount of rain we get will be dependent on the placement of the low. How close it gets to the coast. You can see the predictor showing that we could see those showers. But snow showers mixed and also the rain you see in green. Starting around 1 00 or 2 00 in the morning. It will start to get a little bit bigger. A little bit more widespread here south and east of i95. By 5 30, 6 00 in the morning. Temperatures here, still above freezing. Atmosphere, it looks like it could be cool enough for a mostly snow event. By 3 00 it moves east and mostly rain by that point. As the sun goes down, well likely see more of that change back over to snow. But at that point, many of our viewing area counties will likely be out of it. It will be pushing off toward the coast. And watch the clear on out for sunday night into monday. Not going to last too long. Well have another event back behind that. So this is the area of low about. And once again, if things go a little bit closer to us all this precipitation back over us. If it goes just a little bit farther out to sea, it could actually take most of the moisture with us. And thats the reason this system has been so difficult to nail down a forecast for. It certainly doesnt look like it will cause any major impact for you either way. You do have a cold front coming back right back behind that. And well see showers on monday and especially in the afternoon. As the sun falls and we start to get that colder surge of air back behind it. Showers turn into snow showers overnight. Certainly doesnt look all that bad. You can see there well get a little brief area of showers by tuesday. It comes through again. So dont be sprichede if you see a few flurries. But were not talking any major accumulation for that day, either. Back and this is where the cold, cold air comes in. Our upper level wind pattern you can see in the blue and the purple. That indicates a much cooler surge of air. Thats going to stick around at least through the middle part of the week before we start to warm up by next saturday. First alert sevenday forecast, powered by accuweather, shows shower chances sunday. Late sunday, early tuesday. Then clear out wednesday, thursday, friday and saturday and temperatures finally getting back up to 51 then. But until then were likely going to have at least a few nights where we have temperatures in the 20s again overnight so it feels like february when you see snow and potential for 20s again. Heather thats a good reminder. Heather thanks, liz. The nfl handing out its major awards for this season tonight. Next in sports, we go back live ho t now abc 11 11 Eyewitness News sports. Sponsored by your local toyota dealers. Welcome back, everybody, Mark Armstrong live with from you the super bowl from santa clara. What a night to be a carolina fan. Only one team tomorrow night will take the field with the leagues m. V. P. And that is the panthers. Cam newtons official coronation tonight. And no surprise at all. He was a drop dead obvious choice. 3,800 yards passing and only quarterback in history with 48 touchdowns. What a season that would be if he gets the super bowl tomorrow night and he was not the only one. How about ron rivera . Coach of the year as well. Another i think fairly obvious pick. What people thought the panthers would be versus what they turned into. To very disparate things. And ron rivera deserves a lot of credit for that putting his team in a position to win and letting them enjoy the process along the way, too. And not minimizing the large personality that came to have along the way. And also want to mention, final walkaround inside the stadium today. Not much practice going on. The preparation has been put to bed. The game plan is ready. They just have to go out and you can see greg olsen in the crowd all taking pictures of the stadium. Just soaking one last day out before they get to work tomorrow night. Im still not done. How about kevin green . The first real panther to get the call from the hall of fame. He was the sack monster for the panthers back in the 1990s when they first got off the ground. And he is deservedly into the hall of fame. Joe, this is a fun team. Not just for one small segment of people. Joe yeah to cover the panthers everyone sbracing them and we have the College Teams and everybody has a side but everybody onboard with the panthers. They have become the glue between north and South Carolina. When you go to carolina a hotbed of College Athletics and you have teams, you have u. N. C. And you got duke, and you got n. C. State. And you got South Carolina clemson. Right down the road. So theres so many Great College programs that to be able to bring them together, the fans, the sports fans in the carolinas, its been neat. I think thats the most important thing is that weve something to grasp, cheer for as a group. Joe and like you were pointing covering the hurricanes. Where everybody is onboard. And the panthers fan base seems to be growing since weve been here all week. With met panthers fans from all over, europe, the west coast, up and down and with cam doing what he is doing, that is only going to continue to grow. Noork like the hurricanes were in 2006, maybe times 1,000, and this is the nfl and its the super bowl. All right. You got the basketball story back there. And i want to congratulate todd gurley of the rams. And the nfls offensive rookie of the year, too. So congratulations to him. And take it away. Yes. For the second time in two weeks n. C. State did battle in rivalry action in the tar heels on upset alert
