through the weekend. we're waiting on a cool front. we're seeing showers and thunderstorms up here where we'd leak to get into some of those, wouldn't we? i know we had some rain last weekend with hermune. we had a lot of that from say raleigh eastward. from raleigh westward, it wasn't that much. we may slip into drought conditions soon. we had a very interesting feature yesterday that was affecting folks around roanoke rapids, even far down south as rocky mountain. that shied just this little disturbance, this little plume of moisture, if you will, come into the nearby portion of arriving area. that is moving eastward and away from us. rain chances are just not so great. 10 on saturday, and 20 on sunday and monday. that's even with a cool front coming through. typically with a cool front, you'd expect to have a decent chance of some showers and storms, but this one looks dry, unfortunately. we look at the tropics for a chance of rain this time of year.

concern, if you will. it's actually the chance of it developing down a little from yesterday. yesterday the hurricane center said maybe a 70% chance of this one developing in 4, 5 days, and it's down to 06% now. we'll have to keep our eye on it. nothing to be too concerned about soon. 95 today. our big issue certainly the heat. this is a look at the heat index. it's going to feel like 97 to 99 during the middle of the afternoon. really, really hot. we talked about hopscotch, one of the biggest music festivals we have. saturday is one of the biggest days. it's going to be hot there. at 9:00, 80. over the weekend, expect 90 on sunday. big weekend for outdoor events, and it looks like it will stay fairly dry. it looked like that might bring us a chance of some thunderstorms; but you know, probably only about 20% chance. so i wouldn't change your sunday plans because of

be that big of a deal. then finally we get a break from the heat monday, tuesday, and wednesday. those temperatures are still above normal, but not as much above normal as we'll see today and tomorrow. ryan, of course, has his eye on the rods this morning. schools like it's been pretty quiet, even with an accident out there. a couple crashes that have popped up on came still followg 40 un nd highway and south rham. everything's over on the right shoulder. so far we haven't seen any delays just yet westbound side. and likely will not without too much activity there. no lanes blocked. probably not going to be a big deal. we have to watch the eastbound side this morning for congestion and also maybe a little bit of a sun glare delay as we get closer to 8:00. starting to get to that time of year. 15 minutes through guarantee this morning. about 17 minutes to make the trip out toward the wade avenue interchange. had an earlier crash on 40 westbound.

the road, not causing any problems. few other accidents popping up here, including one on -- rather clear don crescent near newburn avenue not too far from the high school, another on spring rest quail ridge on the north side of raleigh. just getting word of an accident on wake forest road at 440. this is the southbound side of wake forest road, and this is the ramp out to 440 westbound. and you see that it's not really blocking a travel lane directly this morning. just kind of causing a little confusion there as people no police on the scene just yet. likely get that cleared up pretty quickly. looks pretty minor at this point. want to are mind you about this ramp closing. will close tonight. it will reopen in time for your monday morning commute. this is all part of the fortified project. westbound traffic is going to be detoured down to kerry town boulevard. pert yet, use happy alternate route. back to you >> thanks, brian. a preliminary assessment shows tropical storm

us. >> good morning. it's nice to be here. >> so tell us why it's so important to head out to this asteroid to take samples. why are we interested in this? . >> well, the earth and all the other planets form about 4.6 billion years ago. asteroids and comets are the material that was length of time over. it didn't get incorporated into earth, mars, or any of the other planets of the solar system. so and get to sample that pristine material that's really the building block that our planet is made of, everything on this planet. in fact, we suspect the type of asteroid van, is a carb neighbors asteroidthat's the kind of asteroid that not just brought water to earth; it also potentially brought the seeds of life to earth. >> so if we learn more about the seeds of life, what will scientists do with that information?

sometimes of meteorites is that we've actually seen e letters of our dnaence -- our dna seence is made up of four compounds. we've seen some of those letters in there's en t letters that life on earth doesn't incorporate. one of the things we're trying to undetand is the implications for life not just on this planet, but for those 3,000 plus plets we've been around other stars. asteroidhave big implications for understanding not just the igins of life on eah, but the origins of life beyond earth. so is isportan missio, thbut one of the first times na has tried to sample an id, especially as it's moving. and you're calling itkissing the asteroid. explain th. >> that's right. we don't actually land the spacecraft to return a sample. we basically drop what looks

asteroid. we grab a sample, bring it back up to the spacecraft. this is hard stuff we're doing. our juicer are amazing. they've been able to work hard over the last six or so years to figure out how the do this. we're confident it's going to work, and we're excited abt it. this is technology we need in the future as we send humans out beyond earth's orbit toward mars. >> very exciting. a firs how long will it take to got that information back on earth? . >> this is a long mission. scientists have to be patient. it takes about two years to get to banu, the asteroid we're going. this is a model of benu. with oar going to spend about two years orbiting the asteroid, studying it, figuring out what is the best sample to bring back to earth. then the sample will actually arrive here in september of 2023.

we can't wait to hear what what the mission brings back. and ellen stofan, nasa chief scientist, thanks so much for being with us this morning. very interesting information. the launch is set for 7:05 tonight, and live coverage of the launchbegins on nasa tv at 4:30. you cafound out information about e mission vennu on nasa's web site at asteroidmission.org. also coming up later on our newscast in the 8:00 hour, we're going to talk to benu got its name, and it happens to be something that haalmost a loc t. more about that coming up. >> good stuff. >>we love a local tie. thanks, elizeth. there's a new iphone to clamor over this morning. . >>lus starbucks wants to give its customers more than a cup of joe. the new feature coffee lovers will find in the

they're going see low 90s -- feeling like upper 90s with the heat index. let's check out our solar farm 5. already plenty of energy being created out there in the eastern part of wake county at our solar farm. and our temperature 69 degrees. our winds southwest, 9 miles per hour. still have a little breeze, butny this wind shift is not going southwesterly wind generally carries more moisture with it. so you can expect it to be muggier today. checking our dew point at 65. it's not so bad yet, but later this afternoon, it will climb up to nearly 70, and our heat index is going to make it feel like almost 100 this afternoon. that just doesn't seem right in september, does it? 71 in south hill. that's our current temperature, 69 in rocky mount, 73 in southern pines and fayetteville. our dew points are definitely

back over to the west in raleigh, rocksboro, and southern pines, we're looking at low to mid-60s. the lower that number, the less sticky it feels. closer to 70 it starts to feel progressive. we're fooling that in the eastern part of the state. high pressure bringing us dry conditions, and it will be hot, too. that high pressure sitting pretty close to us, and we still have this little disturbance that's shifting offshore. that brought us some showers and thunderstorms yesterday, starting say around lunch time or the day. this sort of odd plume of moisture coming down from pennsylvania through eastern virginia and into nearby north carolina. but we're about finished with that. it's going to shift offshore. shouldn't have a big impact on our weather. so from raleigh north and east, maybe a little grayer. into the afternoon, mostly cloudy. some showers and storms try to pop up across the mountains, but we're really not going to see anything here today, today,

the computer models are showing our front way up to the north and west as being very weak coming through, not bringing us much rain. still look like it's going to drop our temperatures and humidity a bit, but not going to give us much relief from our dry conditions. the hurricane center says a 60% chance that may develop. and so we'll keep watching that. 95, feeling more like nearly 100 this afternoon with the heat index. it is a football friday for games kick off around 7:00. still going to be in the mid-, upper 80s at that point. at 10:00, 08 degrees. just plan accordingly. hopscotch music festival starts today in downtown raleigh. a lot of folks will be heading out saturday. if going down there, make sure you're aware that's going on. going to be busy downtown. at 6:00, 87; and at 9:00, 80 degrees. we finally get into some cooler weather by monday, tuesday, wednesday next week
