play. and elizabeth isn't expecting us to be too bad. >> actually calling this wimpy. [laughter] >> taking it a step further. there is a tropical storm warning for parts of the coast but we're looking at winds just at 35 miles per hour with the storm and thunderstorms around here with winds much stronger than that. so, you know, it's not looking terribly impressive which is a great thing. we love that, and we'll take a closer look in a the wilson skycam, blue skies, looks beautiful and the temperatures, pleasant. 68 in holly springs and 66 in cary and 72 in rocky mount and erwin, and temperatures in the mid-80s and 91 for the high this afternoon. so similar conditions for yesterday and little chance of showers and storms tomorrow, and this tropical system will

into tomorrow morning. and we have another one we're tracking as well which is not likely to have an impact on the area, either. but a front on saturday will bring us a lovely weekend. more on that coming up. brian, the map is looking busy. a little busy, seeing delays. but good news on the durham freeway and an earlier disabled vehicle around glover road, and it has cleared up and traffic is easing up. let's zoom seeing heavy delays in both directions and it appears this is starting to clear up gradually. a live look at the camera and slow going and the latest sensory reading that the southbound trip from mangum to i-40 is 16 minutes. i have noticed that northbound is getting busier, so the best bet is to consider using 55, the best alternate between

school to raleigh and we have a report of a crash on wade avenue at edwardsville road with an outbound delay between 440 and i-40 and an earlier crash in apex on lufkin road, expect delays as you leave holly springs heading towards apex on 55. the ride on u.s. 1 northbound from 55 and apex to i-45 in raleigh, slow in spots especially between 75 and tryon and cary parkway's interchange and i-40 and 440 eastbound, looks okay towards hillsboro and wade. the beltline, 440 westbound around the wade i-40 merge, 33 minutes and 540 westbound from capitol to i-40, 22 minutes. back to you. a very personal problem that makes its way into the

i'm roy cooper, and you deserve the truth about the crime lab. when i became attorney general,

but what governor mccrory isn't telling you is that we cleared the backlog. we also solved over 2,000 crimes and put killers and rapists in prison from cold cases. we fixed the problems at the crime lab, and governor mccrory knows that. it's election day, not the big one but today we'll see primaries for several politicians affected by the presidential campaign.

not even any rain at kill devil hills. >> this music matches it. [laughter] >> it does. >> a stroll along the beach, reflective solitude. all right. let's talk about what's going on here. we'll head out to downtown raleigh, and brian said it's getting really busy out there, and we'll let him talk about traffic in a few more minutes. we caught three school been heavier because everyone has been back to school. 72 is the current temperature, and the sunshine is warming things up nicely. a couple of hours with temperatures in the 60s, and the dew point is at 67, and it's moved up, too. it's a fairly typical summer feeling. 67 in henderson and 69 in south hill and 72 in rocky mount,

74 in fayetteville. high pressure is keeping things dry for us, true for today and tomorrow. a tropical depression hasn't been upgraded. potentially, the 11:00 a.m. advisory will upgrade that to a tropical storm, and it will brush past the outer banks and out to sea. the best system on thursday and behind it, a beautiful weekend. we have tropical depression 8 here and tropical depression 9 is likely to be a stronger storm than 8. and that's going to zip across florida and out into the atlantic and hurricane gaston, not going to have a big impact on anybody. we do have a thunderstorm warning from morehead city to nags head, but we are not looking at major problems, 1-3"

out here around cape hatteras, 35 to 45 wind gusts but not enough for damage. we have thunderstorms with stronger wind gusts than that. here's 2:00 a.m. tomorrow, so under 24 hours from now, should be a tropical storm but winds only at 40 miles per hour and offshore. so not a big deal for folks along the outer banks or any other and we don't get any rain out of this system. let's talk about tropical depression 9. it moves across florida late in the week, thursday into friday and it could dump up to 10" there, and then it will stay off the coast of north carolina with winds up to 60 miles per hour. that's impressive but it will stay away from us. i encourage you to keep checking in in case it changes.

today or tomorrow. finally, thursday, a better chance of storms and toasty at 93. if you are heading out to the william and mary versus nc state at 7:30, you may want to take your umbrella. looking at 82 for the high on friday and kickoff the holiday weekend with gorgeous weather. normally, 86 and highs in the low to mid-80s through weekend with morning lows in the 60s, so it really looks nice for the holiday weekend. lena? >> thank you, elizabeth. dozens of activists plan to deliver petition from more than 600,000 outraged consumers over the epipen price hike. mylan said it will allow a
