AN HOUR IN GREENSBORO. AND SO THESE ARE CURRENT GUSTS 24 MILES AN HOUR IN JEFFERSON. AND AT TIMES THEY’VE BEEN IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF 41 MILES AN HOUR, UP FOR SPARTA TO 37, IN KALISZ. YOU CAN SEE HERE, EVEN IN THE 30S TO ALMOST 40 MILES AN HOUR IN GREENSBORO, TOO. SO IT HAS BEEN A VERY WINDY DAY. WE’VE GOT LOTS OF PRESSURE GRADIENT EFFECTS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW, AND WE ALSO SEE THAT WE HAVE THE RED FLAG WARNING UNTIL 8:00. SO DRY CONDITIONS, LOW HUMIDITY, ALL OF THIS LEADING TO THE RAPID SPREAD OF WILDFIRES. WE’VE HAD REPORTS OF BRUSH FIRES FROM WILKES COUNTY OUT THROUGH FORSYTH COUNTY NOW AND IN THE WINSTON-SALEM AREA. SO AGAIN, AT LEAST UNTIL 8:00. BUT THE BURN BAN, REMEMBER, FOR OPEN BURNING THAT CONTINUES FOR ALL COUNTIES IN NORTH CAROLINA AS WE LOOK AHEAD INDEFINITELY UNTIL THIS WEATHER SYSTEM IMPROVES AND THE PATTERN REALLY IMPROVES, YOU CAN SEE WIND GUSTS SPEEDS TOMORROW REALLY DON’T PICK UP UNTIL ABOUT NOONTIME FOR FOLKS IN THE MOUNTAINS AT 17 MILES AN HOUR AND A 19 AND BECOMING STEADIER WITH THOSE GUSTS AS WE HEAD INTO THE LATE DAY FOR THE PIEDMONT TRIAD AND WINSTON-SALEM GREENSBORO HAPPENS A LITTLE LATER, CLOSER TO FOUR AND 5:00. WE’LL START TO SEE THOSE WINDS COMING UP, AND THAT’S WHERE WE HAVE THAT COLD FRONT APPROACHING FROM THE WEST. IT DOESN’T BRING US RAIN RIGHT AWAY, AND IT MAY NOT BRING A LOT OF MEASURABLE RAIN, BUT WE’RE OPTIMISTIC WE’LL SEE A LITTLE SOMETHING FROM IT. WE’VE GOT OAK, PINE, CEDAR, ELM, PREDOMINANTLY REPORTING IS THE ELM RIGHT NOW FOR US WITH THE HIGH TREE POLLEN, LOW COMPOUND POLLEN COUNTS FOR THE GRASSES. BUT WE STAY HIGH FOR THE TREES ALL THE WAY THROUGH YOUR TUESDAY. EVEN THOUGH WE SEE THE RAIN CHANCE, WE STILL HAVE WARM TEMPERATURES AND EVEN MORNING LOWS AREN’T TERRIBLY COLD, SO THAT SOMETIMES HELPS TO SHUT DOWN THE PRODUCTION WHEN WE COOL DOWN. NOT BY MUCH THOUGH. THIS WEEK YOU SEE 70 DEGREES GREENSBORO 72 CURRENTLY IN BURLINGTON, 66. IN KING THOSE WINDS ARE STILL UP SUSTAINED AND HELPING TO SPREAD IN SOME OF THE WILDFIRE SMOKE AS WELL. WE TALKED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT JUST A LITTLE BIT AGO TOO, AND THIS IS GOING TO LIFT OUT TO THE SOUTH AND EAST TOMORROW. SO WITH ADVANCING FRONT, IT WILL SHIFT OUR WIND A LITTLE BIT. AND THEN LATER IN THE DAY, AS THE WIND BECOMES MORE SOUTHERLY, WE PICK UP MORE PARTICULATE MATTER. AND THAT’S IN THE FORM OF SMOKE THIS TIME OF THE YEAR, AS WE’VE GOT A LOT OF DRY AIR ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST AND FIRING UP SOME OF THE WILDFIRES. SO WE’LL SEE THAT IN PLAY ALL THE WAY THROUGH MONDAY AND TUESDAY. TEMPERATURES TODAY DID MAKE IT INTO THE LOW 70S TOMORROW, UPPER 60S TO NEAR 70 AGAIN. WE’LL INCREASE THE CLOUDS THE LATER WE GO THROUGH THE AFTERNOON TO TRY TEMPERATURES TYPICALLY 63. SO THIS IS WONDERFUL. ALMOST TEN DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL. WE WOULD LOVE SOME MORE OF THIS. BUT TOMORROW MORNING YOU’RE STARTING OUT AT 39 DEGREES. WE’LL BRING UP THE WINDS LATER IN THE DAY. SO IT’S BREEZY, BUT REALLY NOT UNTIL AFTER 4:00 FOR THE PIEDMONT TRIAD, 70 DEGREES FROM WINSTON-SALEM THROUGH GREENSBORO. HIGH POINT OUT THERE TOMORROW. AND IN THE FOOTHILLS FROM ABOUT 37 DEGREES ON A CHILLY NOTE, WE’VE GOT TEMPS WARMING TO 69. SO IT’S A DRY DAY. WINDS AT TIMES OUT OF THE SOUTH AT 8 TO 15 AND AGAIN LATE AFTERNOON AS WINDS BECOME A BIT GUSTY FROM TIME TO TIME. SO EARLY MORNING IS A LITTLE BIT BETTER. IT IS GUSTY AND DRY FOR FOLKS IN THE MOUNTAINS. YOUR WINDS START TO COME UP AROUND NOONTIME. TEMPERATURES AT 35 THOUGH WITH LIGHTER WINDS IN THE MORNING WARMING TO ONLY ABOUT 58 DEGREES. SO IT’S ON THE COOLER SIDE THERE. WE DO SEE TEMPERATURES RESPONDING TO SOME OF THE SHOWERS TOO, SO MONDAY MAY NOT BE AS WARM FOR EVERYONE. WE EXPECT TO STAY BACK IN THE 60S EAST OF THE MOUNTAINS. SEE BY EARLY MORNING WE MAY HAVE A BETTER CHANCE TO SEE THOSE SCATTERED SHOWERS FOR FOLKS IN THE MOUNTAINS LIFTING IN FROM THE SOUTHWEST TO THE NORTHEAST. AND THAT CONTINUES A TREND ALL THE WAY THROUGH ABOUT MIDDAY, AND VERY LIMITED RAIN FOR EVERYBODY. SO I THINK ANYWHERE FROM A 10TH TO SOME FOLKS MISSING OUT ENTIRELY FOR THE RAINFALL TOTALS, AND OTHERS COULD GET A 3/10 OF AN INCH. THE WINDS SHIFT BECOME MORE SOUTHERLY AS WE SEE THE COLD FRONT PUSH THROUGH DURING THE DAY. ON YOUR MONDAY, TAKE A LOOK AT THIS. WE’VE GOT 70 DEGREES ON YOUR SUNDAY, 67 ON MONDAY. IT’S GUSTY AND A RAIN CHANCE OF 40% FOR THE PIEDMONT TRIAD. MOST OF THAT IS EARLY IN THE DAY. WE’RE WARM AND DRY AGAIN AS WE HEAD INTO YOUR WEDNESDAY AT 70 DEGREES, A LITTLE UP AND DOWN WITH 60S OTHERWISE INTO NEXT WEEKEND LOOKING VERY WARM, UPPER 70S TO NEAR 80 AND STILL DRY UNTIL LIKELY THE FOLLOWING MONDAY, WHERE BETTER RAIN CHANCES MAY DEVELOP. YOU’RE WATCHING WXII 12. AND NOW THE MODERN AUTOMOTIVE SPORTS REPORT FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 50 YEARS, THE ACC HAS JUST ONE TEAM REMAINING IN THE ROUND OF 32 AFTER FIRST ROUND EXITS FROM CAROLINA, LOUISVILLE AND CLEMSON. ALL EYES ARE NOW ON DUKE. DUKE CERTAINLY PROVED THAT THEY HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO GO ALL THE WAY IN THIS THING. AFTER A
