Good morning. I'm meteorologist Elizabeth Gardner. We continue to watch the system with uh how the tropics are affecting us here in North Carolina. The low that you see there west of Memphis is the remnants of Francine, but that storm system is able to grab moisture off the Atlantic and drag it all the way toward Memphis, Tennessee. So that's what we're dealing with right now. We have this boundary and we're going to see the showers and maybe even some isolated thunderstorms with us for most of the day. It's not going to rain over any one particular spot for the higher day. Take a look at future casts. We're just going to see scattered showers. Some of those could produce some heavy rain, but on and off through the afternoon and evening, it may be a very messy evening commute. We'll take a quick look at Saturday, Saturday in the morning. There could be a few light showers as we get into the afternoon. It may be that we have a better chance of rain south of the triangle area. So if you have outdoor plans there, you know, starting five or six o'clock, it may be a little bit wetter. But from say Raleigh, even Johnston County northward, it may be a bit, we did drop it down to 20% for Saturday and Sunday. And then the big question mark on what may happen next week, we're talking about the potential for a low pressure system to develop offshore. If it does, it could produce some really heavy rain along the coast there. Looking at, you know, seven inches potentially in Wilmington for us, maybe 1 to 2, maybe three inches of rain depending on where you are. But it's a system that hasn't developed yet. So there's still a lot of questions about what may happen. Models are kind of divided on how much rain we may end up seeing, we're looking at wet conditions in many places this morning as you're heading out the door, including downtown Raleigh temperatures in the upper sixties this morning, dew points at 65. So we've definitely seen a jump in our humidity and that's going to be the case, you know, on through the weekend, our temperatures on the cooler side with the clouds and rain today, highs will be in the upper seventies to right around 80 degrees muggy meters up there uh at humid and it will stay that way until next week, especially if we see that tropical or semitropical system develop off and impact us through at least the middle of next week. Football Friday. Yeah, it's going to be a wet one, you may have some dry periods during the football games, but definitely a chance of some showers temperatures during games likely to be mainly in the seventies check in that seven day forecast, upper seventies today, low eighties over the weekend. And then of course, you know, we're just going to be watching early next week carefully to see if that low develops. If it does, it could bring us some heavy rain and some cooler temperatures.

Vice President and Democratic nominee for president Kamala Harris spoke at a rally Thursday in Greensboro. Hours earlier, she gave another speech at a rally in Charlotte.

Carolina two nights ago, Donald Trump and I had our debate and look, I believe we owe it to have another debate to the voters because here's the thing in this election, what's at stake could not be more important. On Tuesday night, I talked about issues that I know matter to the families across America, like bringing down the cost of living, investing in America's small businesses, protecting reproductive freedom and keeping our nation safe and secure. But that's not what we heard from Donald Trump and said, you know, and I called it at the beginning of the debate. It was the same old show, same old tired playbook we've heard for years with no plan for how he would address the needs of the American people. Well, folks, look, it's time to turn the page. America is ready for a new way forward and we are ready for a new generation of leadership about what we can do for our country together. And that is why Democrats, republicans and independents are all supporting our campaign because we agree, we agree we have a duty as citizens to put country above partisanship and defend our constitution and defend our constitution and that is my pledge to you. I will always put country above party from the courthouse to the White House. I have always fought for the people from being a young courtroom prosecutor. Yes. And it's, yes, USA from being a young courtroom prosecutor in Oakland, California. I stood up for women and Children against predators who abuse them as Attorney General of California, I took on the big banks and delivered $20 billion for middle class families who face foreclosure. I stood up for veterans being sued being scammed by big for profit colleges for workers who are being cheated out of their wages. The wages there were due for seniors facing elder abuse. I will be a president for all Americans and together together we will build a brighter future for our nation and, and we all right. No, we are going to build a future where we build what I call an opportunity economy. So every American has an opportunity to own a home, to build wealth, to start a business. And let me tell you, I love our small businesses. Are there small business leaders here? Raise your hand. So, you know, growing up growing up my mother, she worked long hours. She often worked very long hours. My mother and so my sister Maya and I would go over to MS Shelton's house. Now MS Shelton, we called her our second mother. She was a second mother to us. She actually was from Louisiana and she would take care of us in the evenings and on the weekends when my mother was working and she was a small business owner. And let me tell you what I learned from being a young child about a, a small business owner, Miss Shelton, our small business owners, you are business leaders and you are civic leaders. You are community leaders. You hire locally, you are part of the fabric of our communities. And you like MS Shelton are the backbone of America's economy, Jack Bones. So I have a plan for you and my plan is to give a $50,000 tax deduction for start up businesses because I understand not everybody like the person that was on the stage with me the other night gets handed $400 million on a silver platter and then files for bankruptcy six times. Come on. Come on. I know because look, my mother, she worked hard, she saved up and it wasn't until I was a teenager. She was able to buy our first home. I know the challenges that Americans and working people and families are having right now in terms of affordable housing and we need to build more housing in America. So part of my plan, part of my vision for an opportunity economy is we are going to cut red tape and work with the private sector to build 3 million new homes by the end of my first term. And I have a plan to lower the cost of living for America's families on everything from health care to groceries, including taking on price gouging and those corporations. When they take advantage of people in need. Under my plan, more than 100 million Americans will get a tax cut. Thousands of dollars of your hard earned money will go back in your pockets including $6000 during the first year of a child's life for young parents. Knowing in that critical stage of your child's development, you might need a little help, not just to get by but to get ahead. And I will always put the middle class and working families first. I know where I came from nowhere. I'm clear about that now, Donald Trump. Well, he has a different plan. Just Google Project 2025. I see you have, it is a detailed and dangerous blueprint for what he will do. If he is elected president, Donald Trump will give billionaires massive cuts, massive tax cuts and cut corporate taxes by over a trillion dollars as they pull down record profits. He intends to cut social security and Medicare and he wants to impose what I call a Trump sales tax on everyday basic necessities which will cost the average American family nearly $4000 a year. Some of the top economists in our country and in the world have reviewed these plans. Goldman Sachs, for example, has said that my plan would grow our economy and his plan would shrink the economy that his plan would reignite inflation and send us into a recession by the middle of next year. On top of this, on top of this, Donald Trump intends to end the Affordable Care Act. Now, think about that, think about that. Think we remember what it meant when insurance companies could deny you for a pre existing condition. Remember what that was. So he wants to get rid of it. And as he said in the debate, he made clear he has no plan to replace it. In fact, you remember that you remember he has quote concepts of a plan. Steps of a fire. I mean, we're 54 days from this election steps of a plan, which means no actual plan, which means no actual plan and 45 million Americans are insured through the Affordable Care Act. So understand what that means. He's going to end it based on a concept and take us back when folks were suffering. Well, we're not going back. We are no, we we together will move forward because ours is a fight for the future and, and ours is a fight for freedom, like the fundamental freedom of a woman to be able to make decisions about her own body, have tell her what to do. And we remember how we got here, Donald Trump, hand selected three members of the United States Supreme Court with the intention with the intention that they would undo the protections of Roe V Wade with the intention, they would undo the protections and they did exactly as he intended. And now more than 20 states have a Trump abortion ban, including North Carolina. Every single state in the South except Virginia. Many with no exceptions, even for rape and incest, it is immoral, immoral and I know everyone here understands. Let us agree. One does not have to abandon their faith or deeply held beliefs to agree. The government should not be telling her what to do. And when, and when he was asked on Tuesday night, Donald Trump refused to say that he would veto a national abortion ban. Well, well, when congress passes a bill to restore reproductive freedom, as President of the United States, I will stop playing around and across our nation. We are witnessing a full on attack on hard fought, hard won fundamental rights and freedoms like the freedom to vote, the freedom to be safe from gun violence, the freedom to breathe clean air and drink clean water and the freedom to love who you love openly. And, and here's the thing that I know about all of the North Carolinian leaders who are here. You know this so well, it's part of your DNA generations of Americans before us, led the fight for freedom, generations of Americans before us. Many from right here led the fight for freedom. Do we have a medic get, no, let's get a medic over there. Please. Let's get a medicate o over there. Yeah, but let's make sure see, see this is who we are. We look out for each other. That's what leaders do looking out for. OK. We've got a minute. So generations of Americans before us led the fight for freedom. And now the baton is in our hands. The baton is now in our hands and we who believe then in the sacred freedom to vote will finally pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act. We who believe in the freedom to live safe from gun violence will finally pass an assault weapons ban universal so much is on the line in this election. And we got this my love. But look, here's the thing, this is not 2016 or 2020. The stakes are even higher because two months ago, the United States Supreme Court basically told the former president that he will effectively be immune no matter what he does in the White House. Well, well, well, here's the thing, the courts will take care of that. Let's take care of November. How about that? But imagine, imagine what that court ruling means. Imagine what that means because before there might have been at least the the the belief that there would be the threat of consequence. But now there's an explicit ruling from the court that suggests he would be immune. Imagine Donald Trump with no guard rails. Imagine that would look like he who has vowed if re elected, he will be a dictator on day one. He who called for the quote termination of the Constitution of the United States. And let us be very clear, someone who suggests that we should terminate the Constitution of the United States should never again stand behind the seal of the president. Ok. Never. And put that all in the context of people who have been talking about how he was when they served with him in the White House. People who saw him every day, his national security advisor, his defense secretary, his chief of staff, and his vice president, all all of whom have warned America. Donald Trump is not fit to be president of the United States and could never occupy our nation's highest office again. So North Carolina, I believe it all comes down to this. We are here together, we are here together because we love our country, we love our country and we together understand the awesome responsibility that comes with the greatest privilege on earth, the privilege and pride of being an American, an awesome responsibility. That's right. That's right. And I do believe, I do believe it is the highest form of patriotism to fight for the ideals of our country and to fight to realize the promise of America. And so North Carolina, we have 54 days until election day, election day and just 35 days until early voting begins and it's not only the presidency that's on the ballot, there are many, many important races like Josh Stein running for governor, whose opponent, whose opponent was hand picked by Donald Trump because he wants a total ban on abortion in this state. And that is just one of the many stakes that are playing in this election. But see, we know the power is with the people, the power is with the people. Your voice is your boat, North Carolina. And you are going to make all the difference in the outcome of this race. And look, we know ours will be a very tight race until the very end. We are the underdog. Let's be clear about that. We are the underdog and so we have hard work ahead of us, but we like hard work work is good. Why? And with your help, we will win, we will win. And so I ask you today, North Carolina, are you ready to make your voices heard? Do we believe in freedom? We believe in opportunity, do we believe in the promise of America? And are we ready to fight for it? And when we fight, there you go. So happy c on that death is there's cast away on pressure, open the streets and watch our police. And when they come, my name said the cat, I'm praying for, oh my

Kamala Harris speaks in Greensboro hours after Charlotte campaign stop

Vice President and Democratic nominee for president Kamala Harris is hosting a campaign on Thursday afternoon in Charlotte. Harris is also expected to attend a rally in Greensboro later in the evening.

Army B Yeah, way to. Good afternoon. Good afternoon. Good afternoon. It is. Where? Ok. All right. Ok. Ok. We got some work to do. Are we gonna do this? North Carolina? It is so wonderful to be back in Charlotte. I wanna thank you all. Can we give it up for Stacey for telling her? Incredible. And can we please thank that incredible Anthony Hamilton for his incredible. I love Anthony Hamilton. Uh Oh, and it is so good. I love you back. I love you Bennett. Thank you. And we have so many outstanding leaders here today, including my friend, Governor Roy Cooper. And you're next and your next governor, Attorney General, Josh ST and here with us is your next attorney general, congressman Jeff Jackson. Mayor Lyles, my dear friend, the council of state candidates and all the leaders who are with us today. I thank you all, everyone, everyone here for taking the time and doing the work you are doing. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. All right. So here's the thing. Ok. We got a lot of work to do. We got a lot of work to do. Ok. So North Carolina. You probably don't please have a seat if you have a chair. Two nights ago, Donald Trump and I had our first debate and I believe we owe it to the voters to have another debate because this election and what is at stake could not be more important. On Tuesday night, I talked about issues that I know matter to families across America, like bringing down the cost of living, investing in America's small businesses, protecting reproductive freedom and keeping and keeping our nation safe and secure. But that's not what we heard from Donald Trump. Instead, it was the same old show that same tired playbook that we've heard for years with no plans for how he would address the needs of the American people because you know, it's all about him. It's not about you. Well, folks, I said it, then I say it now it's time to turn the page. That page. Turn that page. Thank you. Hi, because to your point to your point, America is ready for a new way forward. We are ready for a new generation of leadership that is optimistic about what we can do together. That is why Democrats republicans and independents are supporting our campaign. Over 200 people who worked for President George HW Bush, President George W Bush, John mccain and Mitt Romney have endorsed me for president, former vice president Dick Cheney and Congresswoman Liz Cheney are supporting me as well because as they said, we have a duty as citizens to put country above partisanship and defend our constitution. And that is my pledge to you. I will always put country above party and I will be a president. I word we are fighting for the future, a future with affordable childcare, paid leave and affordable health care, a future where we build what I call an opportunity economy. So every American has an opportunity to own a home, to build wealth, to start a business. The they're leaders in the community, they're civic leaders, they hire locally, they mentor, they're part of the fabric of the community and and I know they are the backbone of America's economy. So my plan is to give a $50,000 tax deduction to start up small businesses because, you know, not everybody started out with $4400 million on a silver platter and then filed for bankruptcy six times. But a whole lot of people have the ingenuity, the entrepreneurship, the work ethic, and the ambition to do that kind of work and just need to be seen and supported for what they are and what they do for all of us, an opportunity economy. We need to build more housing in America. And so we are going to cut red tape and work with the private sector to build 3 million new homes. By the end of my first term, I have a plan to lower the cost of living for America's families on everything from health care to groceries. Under my plan, more than 100 million Americans will get a tax break and thousands of dollars of your hard earned money will go back into your pockets including $6000 during the first year of a child's life. And I will always put middle class and working families. First. I grew up a middle class kid. I was mother who saved up and by the time I was a teenager, she was able to afford to buy our first home. I understand how people work hard and have dreams and aspirations for their Children and need to be put first understanding again when the middle class is strong, America is strong, stay strong. But Donald Trump, well, he has a different plan. Just Google, just Google project 2025. It is a detailed and dangerous blueprint for what he will do. If he is elected president, Donald Trump will give billionaires and big corporations massive tax cuts and cut corporate taxes by over a trillion dollars. Even as they pull in record profits, he will add more than $5 trillion to the national debt. He intends to cut social security and Medicare and he wants to impose what is in effect a national sales tax. I call it a Trump sales tax because it will be a tax on everyday basic necessities which the economists have measured will cost the average family nearly $4000 more. A year and, and the top economists, they previewed our plans, they've reviewed them. Goldman Sachs says my plan would grow our economy and his plan would shrink it. 1616 Nobel Prize winning economists say he would reignite inflation and moody's says he would ignite a recession by the middle of next year. You know, he talks a big talk. But when folks review the numbers highly respected folks, that's what you learn about him. That's what you learn. And North Carolina on top of all of this, Donald Trump intends to end the Affordable Care Act. And as Stacy mentioned, you heard what he said in the debate, he, he has no plan to replace it. He said, he said, concepts of a plan. Oh, you all watched the debate, concepts, concepts, no actual plan, concepts and understand what's at stake on that. 45 million Americans are insured through the Affordable Care Act. And he's going to end it based on a concept and take us back to when insurance companies had the power to deny people with pre existing conditions. Well, we are not going back. Will not. Yeah, good. We will move forward, we will move forward because ours is a fight for the future and it is a fight for freedom, like the fundamental freedom of a woman to make decisions about her own and tell her what to do. And we know how we got to this issue because Donald Trump hand picked three members of the United States Supreme Court with the intention that they would undo the protections of Roe versus Wade and they did as he intended. And now in over 20 states in our nation, they have what I call Trump abortion bans, including North Carolina and every single state in the South except Virginia. Think about that. Every single state in the south except Virginia. Now, one in three women in America lives under a Trump abortion ban. Many with no exceptions, even for rape and incest, it is immoral, it is immoral. And I know we all here understand and agree. One does not have to abandon their faith or deeply held beliefs to agree. The government should not be telling her what to do with her. And what we know is that the, the, the impact of this is, you know, it's been over two years now since that decision came down. The impact of this is so real, it's affecting people every day just based on the stories we know and there are so many stories we don't know, think about it. Uh, because of Trump's abortion bans, women are being refused care during miscarriages. Some are only being treated if they develop sepsis. And when asked on Tuesday night, Donald Trump refused to say that he would veto a national abortion ban. You remember that he refused to answer that question, refuse to answer that question. Well, I'm gonna tell you when congress passes a bill to restore reproductive freedom. As President of the United States, I will proudly, now we sign it into law proudly and across our nation, across our nation. We are witnessing a full on assault on other hard fought, hard won fundamental freedoms and rights. Like the freedom to vote, the freedom to be safe from gun violence, the freedom to breathe clean air and drink clean water and the freedom to love who you love openly and with pride. And North Carolina has a history of the point. I'm about to make generations generations of Americans before us led the fight for freedom. And now the baton is in our hands. It is an hour half. So we who believe in the sacred freedom to vote will finally pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act and the freedom to vote Act. And we who believe in the freedom to live safe from gun violence will finally pass an assault weapons ban universe. Yes, so much, so much is at stake in this election. So much is at stake in this election. And understand this is not 2016 or 2020 for a number of reasons including why the stakes are higher. Because two months ago, the United States Supreme Court basically told the former president that he will effectively be immune no matter what he does in the White House. Think about that, think about that, just imagine Donald Trump with no guard rails, right? He he who has vowed that if re-elected, he'll be a dictator on day one, that he will weaponize the Department of Justice against his political enemies. And has called for the quote termination of the Constitution of the United States of America. Think about that and let us be very clear, somebody who suggests we should terminate the Constitution of the United States should never again stand behind the seal of the president of the United States. Never again, never again her again. And you know, one of the points that I mentioned on Tuesday, so let the the people who served under him at the White House who saw him every day, right, his national security advisor, his defense secretary, his chief of staff and his vice president, all have warned all who worked with him every day in the White House, sat with him in the oval office, have warned America Donald Trump is not fit to be president of the United States and should never again occupy our nation's highest office. So North and we're not going back. Oh, so, so it comes down to this, it comes down to this. We are here together because we love our country, we love our country and we understand the awesome, the awesome responsibility that comes with the greatest privilege on earth, the privilege and pride of being an American. Right. That's right. That's right. Right. And so I believe it is the highest form then of patriotism to fight for the ideals of our country and to fight to realize the promise of America. So North Carolina, we have 54 days until election day, 54 days and just 35 days, just 35 days until early voting begins. And it's not only the presidency that's on the ballot. There are many important races including Josh Stein running for governor whose opponent was hand picked by Donald Trump and wants a ban, a total ban on abortion in this state. Right? So these are the stakes in this election up and down the ballot, up and down the ballot. But we know the power is with the people, the power is with the people and your voice is your vote. North Carolina. Oh, is your voice? And we know here's the thing also, we're all, we've got, we are just, we are loving our campaign, aren't we? We are good time. We're having a good time. I know that. But here's also the thing. Ours will be a very tight race until the end, ok? It's gonna be a tight race until the end and we are the underdog. Understand that we are the underdog. There are powerful forces trying to convince people that their vote doesn't matter. There are powerful forces here too, but I say all that to say we've got some hard work ahead of us. But here's the thing I love about everybody here. We love hard work, hard work is good, work, hard work is good, work, hard, work is good work. And with your help, we will win in November. We will win. We will, we will win. So North Carolina today, I'm gonna ask you, are you ready to make your voices heard? Do we believe in freedom? We believe in opportunity. Do we believe in the promise of America? And are we ready to fight for it when we fight? We, God bless you and God bless that? Tell us we, I'm telling this tears going far away. Ah, me the last one bone in too. Oh. Um.
