completely done. we expect to see a little bit more rain on the way as you move through the overnight hours. the low pressure system is well to the south and west of us and continues to lift northward. all this precipitation is going to filter into the region. we're going to see the rain around overnight, could see a quarter to half inch of rain for most locations. right now we're seeing lots of clouds, 41 degrees, winds out of the north-northeast at 6 miles per hour and may be fog. a lot of moisture in the where temperatures are going to be below the freezing mark, and you can see where that will be all the way in the mountains and the foothills could see snow or wintry mix for a period of time in the overnight hours and could add up a little bit. as the system continues to lift off to the north and east we expect the activity to die down quickly, as we get into the early-morning hours tomorrow, and much of the day for tomorrow should be relatively quiet with clouds

because they were in a seat and felt they were involved in a traffic accident or had family members or friends who had children who were injured and could have were not in the child safety restraint. >> reporter: some think the age to ride in the front seat is steep, considering you only have to be 15 in south carolina to apply for beginner's permit. >> 15 is 15, you are probably not doing too

rain trying to come in from the south as the low pressure passes by to the south and east of us. northward, all of this rain is going to push into the region. we could see heavy rain at times, it will be a quarter to half inch of rain possible for most locations, there has been a little snow over the northwestern sections of the viewing area, that may be the case which could create slippery conditions over the mountains and foothills. we are going to continue to keep an eye on this. temperatures are above the freezing mark. that's why we're going to stay in plain rain. 20s further up to the north and west. temperatures continue to drop off a bit. the good news is most of us stay around 35 if not higher. mostly cloudy skies, and 80% chance for rain, but the mountains, the foothills could see a mix or snow for a period of time throughout the overnight hours where the temperatures are on the colder side. if the system false off to the north and east we expect to see things winding down quickly, especially as we get closer to day break tomorrow, and through the day, we'll see the clouds breaking apart for out partly sunny which will help to boost our temperatures into the middle 50s. but overall it's going to be a cooler day around the region compared to what we've been dealing on early in the week. one to three inches of snow may be possible for the higher elevation with the system throughout the overnight hours. there is a winter weather advisory for a few counties to the north and west. for the most of us, much of the day on the drier side, and that's going to extend into the start of the weekend. however, we're keeping ou eye on a weak cold front coming in later in the day on saturday. this is moisture starved. it doesn't have a lot to work with. don't expect to see a lot in the way of precipitation can, rule out isolated shower later in the day saturday and saturday night. the front does push out quickly. high pressure takes over once again, we're going to see beautiful weather, sunday, monday. the temperatures climb quickly back in the 70s. very nice conditions. i'll take a little shower activity if i get 74 degrees. bill: next week looking awesome.
