<p>COUPLE PICTURES. UPLOAD THEM TO THE REPORT. IT SECTION OF THE WRAL WEATHER OR NEWS APP. WE'RE GETTING BRAND-NEW INSIGHT FROM ABORTION CLINICS IN NORTH CAROLINA NOW PREPARING FOR AN INFLUX OF PATIENTS FROM OUTSIDE THE STATE. &gt;&gt; THIS COMES AFTER FRIDAY'S RULING FROM THE SUPREME COURT OVERTURNING ROE VERSUS WADE WRAL'S. JOE FISHER IS LIVE IN DOWNTOWN PITTSBORO WHERE PROTEST AGAINST THAT DECISION IS EXPECTED TO START IN THE NEXT HOUR. JOE. &gt;&gt; DEBORAH, WE DO EXPECT PEOPLE TO START GATHERING HERE AT THE OLD COURTHOUSE IN PITTSBORO AROUND 5 O'CLOCK. &gt;&gt; RAIN OR SHINE? YOU JUST HEARD KEPT TALKING ABOUT THAT. WHETHER IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE CLEAR OUT THAT ABORTION IS STILL LEGAL HERE IN NORTH CAROLINA. AND THE EXPERTS SAY BECAUSE OF THAT, WE COULD SOON SEE MORE WOMEN HEADING HERE FROM ACROSS STATE LINES. &gt;&gt; A WOMAN'S CHOICE HAS PERFORMED ABORTIONS IN RALEIGH FOR 14 YEARS NOW WITH SOME STATES BANNING THE PROCEDURE, THE CLINIC IS HIRING MORE STAFF, EXPANDING PATIENT WAITING ROOMS AND THEY EXPECT TO EXPAND HOURS TO MEET THE DEMAND. WE. &gt;&gt; I'M LOOKING FOR DOCTORS WHO MAY NO LONGER HAVE A JOB IN CERTAIN STATES TO APPLY FOR IT TO GET THEIR LESSON SURE. AND IN NORTH CAROLINA SO THAT THEY CAN PROVIDE CARE HERE SINCE FRIDAY'S RULING OVERTURNING ROE. AMBER GAVIN SAYS THEIR CLINICS ACROSS THE STATE HAVE BEEN FLOODED WITH CALLS, NOT JUST FROM WOMEN OUTSIDE THE STATE SEEKING CARE, BUT FROM VOLUNTEERS WANTING TO DONATE TIME AND MONEY AND SEEING SOME YOUNG FOLKS THAT SHOWED UP AT OUR GREENSBORO CLINIC AND ASKED TO HAND OUT BROCHURES AT A RALLY AND A MARCH THAT THEY WERE GOING TO SOME PEOPLE ARE REJOICING. THE SUPREME COURT'S DECISION. THIS IS THE DAY THAT PRO LIFE MEN, WOMEN AND CHILDREN HAVE PRAYED FOR FOR OVER 50 YEARS. BUT GAVIN SAYS THE RULING IS A CRUSHING BLOW FOR WOMEN. MANY WHO WILL NOW HAVE TO TRAVEL FARTHER SPENDING MORE TIME AND MORE MONEY TO END THEIR UNWANTED PREGNANCY OR TEAM IS REALLY SAD. AND DISGUSTED ULTIMATELY WITH THE SUPREME COURT DECISION. WE ARE RESOLUTE AND PROVIDING COMPASSION AND MENTAL ABORTION CARE IN OUR COMMUNITIES. &gt;&gt; AND THE FUTURE OF ABORTION RIGHTS REALLY REMAINS UNCLEAR HERE IN NORTH CAROLINA, GOP LEADERS SAID LAST WEEK THAT THEY WILL HOLD OFF UNTIL AT LEAST THE START OF NEXT YEAR. 2023 BEFORE INTRODUCING ANY NEW LEGISLATION. THAT COULD MEAN NEW RESTRICTIONS. OF COURSE, DEBORAH, WHAT THEY WILL BE ABLE TO DO WILL BE DICTATED BY THE RESULTS OF SOME COMPETITIVE RACES IN NOVEMBER'S</p>

I'm meteorologist K Campbell in the wr severe weather center. Here's your weekend forecast looks pretty good. On Saturday, there is a small chance for rain. That would be first thing very early in the morning in our northern counties. The rest of the day looks pretty good, partly cloudy, mid to perhaps upper seventies. By Sunday, it's much cooler. Highs struggle to get into the sixties even. It's a cloudy day and we've got some scattered showers in the forecast Sunday, but we're on the stable side of the front. So we're not severe weather on Sunday and we really could use some rain. We'll get to that in a minute. Let's talk about your Saturday planner because that's going to be the day to be outside 63 at 8 a.m. by noon, 71 and will be in the mid to upper seventies during the afternoon. Still in the low to mid seventies by dinner time. Future cash shows pretty quiet, start to the day. Perhaps a few showers in our northern counties and cloud cover to start, but those clouds clear and we'll see more sunshine later on before we cloud back overnight into Sunday morning. Scattered showers are possible throughout the first part of the day, Sunday and then we'll see a band of steadier rain make its way in as we head into Sunday evening and perhaps Sunday night as well. Early on, we need any rain, we can get the drought monitor showing an expanded region for abnormally dry and yellow. That's the morning stage before you reach drought status. So we really need some rain to prevent drought from developing as we head into the month of May. The system that's bringing our rain chances for your Friday night is this area of low pressure along with a cold front draped to the south. That cold front is going to knock temperatures down as well. We're down to 46 degrees on Monday morning, 44 we had to lower the low Tuesday morning because there's not likely to be as much cloud cover and that's going to allow temperatures to fall even further. But for the weekend morning will wake up to temperatures near 60 Saturday morning and in the lower fifties again on Sunday morning. If you are running the Tar Heel 10 miler, we got some pretty nice weather for it. A 20% chance for rain for early on. Otherwise temperatures will be in the low to mid 60 s. Looks like some pretty good running weather for us. Looking ahead to next week, we're still on the cooler side start 66. But Monday trending more sunshine And then as we get into Tuesday, Wednesday, we're likely to be back in the seventies, Wednesday. We've got a cold front coming the way it looks now. Only a small 20% chance for rain with the front, but it is going to knock temperatures down again. Not as dramatic but low temperatures could be back in the upper forties with highs in the upper sixties to lower seventies toward the end of next week.
