GOOD MORNING AND HAPPY MONDAY, 6:00 ON THIS MARCH 20TH. I’M DEVONTE MCKENNA. AND I’M AUDREY BIESK. GREAT TO HAVE YOU. STARTING THE FIRST DAY OF SPRING WITH US, BRIAN SLOCUM HAS OUR NOT SPRING LIKE FORECAST. MORE LIKE WINTER OUT THERE. IT IS. AND OFFICIALLY, I THINK IT’S SOMETIME AROUND THE 5:00 HOUR THIS EVENING. OH, IT’S SPRING OFFICIALLY BEGINS. EXCUSE ME. I JUST SAYING SO. IT’S JUST. IT IS WHAT IT IS. I KNOW. IT’S JUST A TIME OUT. IT’S JUST KIND OF STRANGE. YEAH, LET’S JUST CALL IT FIRST DAY OF SPRING FOR WHAT IT IS. BUT FEELING LIKE THE LAST DAY OF WINTER, FOR SURE. WE HAVE SOME COLDER TEMPERATURES IN OVER THE AREA. FREEZE WARNINGS IN PLACE FOR THE TRIAD, THOUGH. ANOTHER COLD SNAP, THE SECOND ONE IN A WEEK. AND THIS ONE FOR TEMPERATURES THAT HAVE ALREADY DIPPED DOWN INTO THE MID TO UPPER TWENTIES THIS MORNING. SO PLENTY COLD. MAKE SURE YOU LAYER UP THIS MORNING AND EVEN AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES. THEY’LL BE BETTER THAN THEY WERE ON SUNDAY. BUT INSTEAD OF MID-FORTIES, WE’RE LOWER 50, SO WE’RE 27 NOW. WE’VE DROPPED A DEGREE EACH HOUR AT PTI AIRPORT. SINCE VERY EARLY THIS MORNING, WE’RE GETTING CLOSE TO WHAT OUR MORNING LOWS AND END UP BEING PROBABLY BOTTOMED OUT AROUND 25 OR 26 DEGREES, 28 CURRENTLY IN BURLINGTON, ASHEBORO, LEXINGTON AND EVEN SOME TEENS IN THE MOUNTAINS. FORTUNATELY DON’T HAVE A LOT OF WIND. BUT THAT’S REALLY PART OF THE REASON WHY TEMPERATURES ARE FALLING AS QUICKLY AS THEY ARE IN THIS VERY DRY AIR. A WINDLESS MORNING FOR THE MOST PART IN A CLEAR SKY. THAT’S THE RECIPE FOR CHILLY 5 TO 15 DEGREES COLDER THAN WE WERE EARLY SUNDAY MORNING WHEN THE MERCURY DID DIP DOWN TO 32 IN GREENSBORO. BUT WE DIDN’T REALLY FALL TOO FAR BELOW FREEZING. VERY DIFFERENT STORY THIS MORNING. SO IF YOU’RE PARK BOUND TODAY WITH THE LITTLE ONES, WE’VE GOT GOOD SUN IN TODAY’S FORECAST. BUT EVEN BY LUNCHTIME, IT’S STILL FAIRLY CHILLY WITH TEMPERATURES IN THE LOWER FORTIES ABOUT A 4 TO 5 P.M. HIGH TODAY GETTING INTO THE LOWER FIFTIES LATER THIS AFTERNOON, WE’LL TALK ABOUT SOME BIG CHANGES TO OUR WEATHER PATTERN AND BY WEEK’S END, MAN, IT’S GOING TO FEEL LIKE SPRING, EVEN EARLY SUMMER HAVE MUCH MORE IN SOME NUMBERS FOR THAT PART OF THE FORECAST THAT’S COMING UP SOON. WE ARE HEADING INTO OUR SPRING SEVERE WEATHER SEASON AND PEOPLE IN ROCKINGHAM COUNTY KNOW ALL TOO WELL THE POWER OF MOTHER NATURE. TODAY MARKS 25 YEARS SINCE A DEADLY TORNADO TORE THROUGH THE TOWN OF STONEVILLE. JACKIE PASCALE JOINS US LIVE THERE THIS MORNING WITH NOW THAT COMMUNITY IS REFLECTING ON THIS SOMBER ANNIVERSARY. JACQUI, GOOD MORNING. DEVONTE, AUDREY, GOOD MORNING TO YOU BOTH. SO THEY’RE GOING TO BE HOLDING A MEMORIAL TODAY HERE IN STONEVILLE. ACTUALLY RIGHT BEHIND ME AT FRIENDSHIP PARK.

AND YOU KNOW THAT ALONG WITH HUNDREDS OF HOMES WERE DAMAGED, MORE THAN 25 PEOPLE WERE INJURED AND TWO ACTUALLY DIED THAT DAY. THEIR NAMES WERE BETH MITCHELL AND HOWELL HICKMAN. TORNADOES ARE PRETTY RARE IN THE WESTERN PIEDMONT OF NORTH CAROLINA AND VIRGINIA. THAT’S WHY WHEN IT’S EF THREE TORNADO TOUCHED DOWN HERE IN STONEVILLE WITH RECORDED WIND SPEEDS BETWEEN. 136 AND 165 MILES PER HOUR. IT WAS SO IMPACTFUL AND DEVASTATING EVERY THING THE FOLKS HERE LOST WHEN THAT TORNADO TOUCHED DOWN, THAT WILL BE REFLECTED ON AND HONORED TODAY IN THIS MEMORIAL. AGAIN, THAT SET FOR THIS AFTERNOON AT 3:15 P.M. AT FRIENDSHIP PARK. THAT IS RIGHT HERE AT THE INTERSECTION OF HENRY AND MAIN STREETS HERE IN STONEVILLE LIVE THIS MORNING, JACKIE PASCALE WXII 12 NEWS. THANK YOU, JACKI. TODAY IN DAVIDSON COUNTY, A WOMAN IS SET TO APPEAR IN COURT ON CHARGES IN A DEADLY DWI CRASH. AMBER WHITTAKER IS SCHEDULED FOR A HEARING IN SUPERIOR COURT. SHE’S FACING CHARGES OF SECOND DEGREE MURDER AND FELONY SERIOUS INJURY BY MOTOR VEHICLE. LEXINGTON POLICE SAY LAST JUNE, WHITAKER WAS DRIVING WITH FOUR CHILDREN ON FAIRVIEW. FAIRVIEW TO DRIVE.

FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP IS EXPECTING TO BE ARRESTED TOMORROW. HE SAID IT HIMSELF IN A SOCIAL MEDIA POST OVER THE WEEKEND. IT’S IN CONNECTION TO A HUSH MONEY INVESTIGATION IN NEW YORK. A GRAND JURY THERE HAS BEEN LOOKING INTO WHETHER ANY LAWS WERE BROKEN PRIOR TO THE 2016 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION. MONEY WAS PAID TO WOMEN WHO CLAIMED TO HAVE HAD RELATIONSHIPS WITH TRUMP. FORMER VICE PRESIDENT IS RALLYING TO SUPPORT THE FORMER PRESIDENT. THE IDEA OF INDICTING A FORMER PRESIDENT IN THE UNITED STATES IS DEEPLY TROUBLING TO ME, AS IT IS TO TENS OF MILLIONS OF AMERICANS.
