FIRST ALERT FORECAST-CLIP

FIRST ALERT FORECAST-WXWALL

THIS WEATHERCAST HAS BEEN PREPARED BY THE NBC2 WEATHER STAFF.

IT IS NOT A VERBATIM OF WHAT IS BEING SAID, BUT IS THE FORECAST FOR OUR AREA.

"Chilly morning, mild afternoon"

The cold that front that brought yesterday's clouds and light rain is long gone. As a result we're in store for a couple of chilly mornings and mild afternoons with comfortable humidity levels.

Temperatures will start off in the mid 40s in town, while some of our colder inland spots will hold in the upper 30s. Lots of sun will fill our skies throughout the morning hours, and this should help to melt away the chill in the air. Despite wall to wall sunshine this afternoon, daytime highs will continue to run 8-10° below the average as they climb into the upper 60s to lower 70s. Also, with a breeze out of the northwest for much of the day around 10-15 mph, this will make it feel a touch cooler outside.

Tonight, skies will stay clear and winds will begin to lighten as cool high pressure continues to dry our atmosphere out. This will set the stage for another chilly night, although temperatures won't be quite as cold. Most locations will bottom out in the upper 40s with a few readings in the lower to middle 40s east of I-75.

Our warming trend will commence on Friday afternoon with highs peaking in the middle 70s. Each and every day will add a few degrees to the overnight lows and afternoon highs. In fact, by Saturday we'll be back in the 70s with lower 80s in the forecast by Sunday under partly sunny skies.

THE GIRLS INSIST THEY HAD NO INTENTIONS OF SHOOTING ANYONE, IT WAS JUST A PRANK.

CHEERLEADER HIT LIST-PKG

Two cheerleaders face misdemeanor charges after they sent this hit list to various people on Instagram. There is a pistol next to the word hit list and the teens named 9 students and a teacher whom they disliked. A squad member told 12 News one of the cheerleaders got kicked off the squad today.

"I think she should have gotten in trouble bc they have to take this matter seriously bc of what's happen in the past with other shootings."

Another team mate said she didn't know the 8th grade cheerleader but defended the high schooler's actions and said its just a big misunderstanding.

"Not the type of person who would hurt someone she doesn't think about things she just thinks its funny, so it didn't come to mind i don't think she had intentions of hurting anyone."

The sheriffs office learned about the list after a concerned parent said his child was on the list. Now investigators are interviewing both girls to figure out why the created it.

"They said that was their hit list of people they don't like they weren't planning to cause anyone harm they wanted o document who they were upset with and who they didn't like."

A mother of a varsity cheerleader said she understands why the school and sheriff's office has to take action but feels the girls just made a bad decision.
