Kristen 6 14, an hour half lyndsay another bacon thing. Always bacon or eggs. Kristen breakfast time. Lyndsay a lot of random bacon and egg products on the market these days. Kristen when you looked at this box you were kind of like lyndsay i didnt i envisioned more of a contraption, i guess, more of some sort of help me out with the word, like an appliance. Kristen like a panini press thing. Lyndsay you read my mind. Kristen a cast iron baking press. You need a griddle or pan. Lyndsay you put this on top of it. Kristen crisp bacon with no curling. Speeds cooking time. And faster cooking. Were going to make bacon later this morning. Lyndsay great. Kristen never eats the bacon because kristen i like bacon, maybe this is my thing. Lyndsay maybe this is the answer to all your bacon problems. Kristen i dont like it when it gets floppy. Lyndsay it does the get floppy. Kristen you go to the restaurant lyndsay ive been with people sent back bacon. Kristen im so afraid to send stuff back. If i order bacon i say super crispy. Lyndsay there is a wide range, i had an epiphany on this. They should ask you how you want it cooked. Would take two seconds. Kristen start a petition. Lyndsay seriously, that should become a thing. Kristen well work on that. Works at 7 45ish. Speaking of coming up, the sun is coming up soon. We have Daylight Saving time this weekend. Looks pretty.

Another live look over uptown from Scott Clark Nissan honda hd tower cam, 62 in charlotte right now, dew points in the upper 50s. You may have noticed starting yesterday that it started to feel a touch more humid out there and that will be the case with us for today as well with 50s. Keeping things on the humid side and especially with the temps in the 70s later this afternoon, will feel more humid. Hourbyhour temperature forecast to help you plan out your saturday here, by midmorning, 10 00 a. M. , close to 70 in the charlotte area, mid up to per 60s away from the city, 1 00 p. M. , 74 and well on our way in the mid to upper 70s for highs by later this afternoon. Nothing falling on the radar right now, we have the cloud cover but no rain yet. If we zoom out we have rain off to the southwest. And that is actually not going to get here until tomorrow. So what is coming through today or pa what may what may, is a back door cool front, a weak front, but maybe enough of a trigger just to touch off a few tiny showers for some of you combined with increase in humidity we have in place over the region right now. With that being said, shower coverage is only 30 . That means 70 of you will make as we go to 78 for the high later this afternoon. Low 70s tomorrow. Cooler with the higher rain chance, about 60 coverage of rain for sunday. So it does look wetter for the second half of the weekend. That is for sure. With the rain heavy at times through sunday. Temperature drop, from today to tomorrow. Beyond that, were actually still mild, all Things Considered for the better part of the week ahead, few showers and storms linger in monday as we go to 74 to start out the new school and work week. Check on it, another pair of days close to 80, tuesday and wednesday, warm for the middle part of next week, we could get more showers and storms by later in next friday. That is the check of the forecast, kristen, back to you. Kristen placing your order at chickfila may not seem like a big deal. A girl in fayetteville was the first time she ever placed an order on her own, because she is Cynthia Walker is hearing impaired since birth. Her mother found a cashier who knew sign language and took her daughter there. Cynthia was overjoyed when the cashier responded. If you notice in the video she looked at me like is this working, am i really doing this. So she really enjoyed doing that and she is looking forward to going back.

Every time you come you get us think about wonderful travel opportunities and talking about spring break travel. Spring break travel close to home. Very close. Not everyone has the time or the money to take like a fantabulous vacation. The state of North Carolina has terrific places that im going to recommend today for a fourday road trip, you can take off a friday and monday, but you get four days because you have the weekend and everything is also available if you want to take a day trip to any of these great spots. Not going so far that we cant just do a day trip at all. Right. Well start if we do the four day, well start here and go North Carolina transportation museum. I hear about it and never have been. Supposed to be cool. So fun. Everyone thinks about the train because they have a Great Program for trains. And this season they are running the last two weekends of the month they are running the easter bunny express. Fun how fun. You can ride with the easter bunny handing out treats and for a slight fee if you like to have breakfast or brunch with the easter bunny, that is an option, too. I like that. More than trains i want to emphasize that, they have the installation up right now is the history of the bicycling. Transportation museum. So you know the bikes from way back in the day they have like a five foot tall big front wheel and tiny back wheel, that is the boneshaker, you can ride one at the transportation museum. There you go. We go from there, day two what do we do . Go an hour up the road to the asheboro zoo. Go after the transportation museum, spend the full day at the zoo where they have just added a male polar bear to the pen. They are hoping magic will happen. Sparks will fly. Maybe next year well have cubs. They are having an eggstravanganza with the animals, not just the polar bears, putting treatsn brightly colored easter eggs so the animals, like in the wild they have to look for their food, enrichment, they will do that. Full day there. A great zoo, we have a minute left, we want to get to the next places many raleigh, the North Carolina museum of natural sciences. They have an extreme mammals installation that will be this is phenomenal, so many hands on things to do. And then raleigh of course you can spend a weekend in raleigh. If you want to just come back through the country, and end up in asheboro at Laurel Mountain state park at the top of the mountain you can see the charlotte skyline. Get the kid out of the car, run around a little bit. Depending on the day you could also go right shoot 15 minutes to reed goldmine. Oh, fun. We are going to make sure we put tamelas itinerary so you can do this trip while kids
