We are going to go milder in the southeast and then we'll turn wetter. In fact, some of you are
00:04
going to begin to even see some rain late tonight in Little Rock and even into Nashville. Yeah,
00:08
and continuing to stay on the warmer side in Florida, 53 for Tampa for your overnight low,
00:14
43 there in Jacksonville. And taking a look ahead to tomorrow, most of us are staying dry.
00:19
Absolutely, and we are dry and windy with a 70-plus acre wildfire in progress in McDowell
00:24
County, North Carolina right now. That's going to be a concern through the next several hours.
00:29

00:34
You can see that low dew point air, but eventually some of these areas like western North Carolina
00:39
will begin to see some rain. And one consideration there with these fires, there's a lot of extra
