DETOURS AND KNOW THERE WILL BE A LITTLE BIT OF A BACK UP. >> LIMITED SUPPLIES AND SHIFTING PRIORITIES MEANS THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE STATEWIDE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO WAIT AT LEAST ANOTHER WEEK FOR THEIR DOSE OF COVID VACCINE. HERE IS THE PROBLEM. THIS WEEK THE STATEMENT WILL HAVE 120,000 DOSES TO SPREAD ALL ACROSS THE STATE AND MOST OF THAT IS COMMITTED TO LARGE SCALE EVENTS PLANNED WEEKS AGO LIKE THE SECOND ONE IN CHARLOTTE THIS WEEKEND. JOE FISHER JOINING US LIVE TO LET US KNOW HOW THIS IS IMPACTING OPPORTUNITY AND WE HAVE HEARD FROM SO MANY PEOPLE VERY FRUSTRATED. >> GET, THIS SOME COUNTIES HERE IN NORTH CAROLINA DO NOT HAVE A SINGLE SHOT ON THE SHELF TO CONTINUE VACCINATING. SO THEY WAIT. PNC ARENA BEHIND ME COULD ONE DAY BE HOME TO ONE OF THESE LARGE SCALE VACCINATION SITES BUT TONIGHT HEALTH OFFICIALS HERE IN WAKE COUNTY TELL ME THE CURRENT SUPPLY IS FAR TOO LOW TO SUPPORT ANYTHING OF THIS SIZE. >> AT CHARLOTTE MOTOR SPEEDWAY 16,000 PEOPLE GOT VACCINATED THIS WEEKEND LEAVING COUNTIES ACROSS THE STATE WITH A FIND DWINDLING SUPPLY. >> WE KNOW THIS LIMITED SUPPLY SOMETHING WE HAVE COMMUNICATED OVERTIME AND TIME AGAIN. >> RYAN IS LEADING THE VACCINE ROLL OUT IN WAKE COUNTY WHERE THEY REQUESTED 4,000 NEW DOSES THIS WEEK BUT WILL RECEIVE JUST  WAKE COUNTY IS ABLE TO VACCINATE 7,000 PEOPLE A WEEK BUT THIS WEEK THEY WILL GIVE ABOUT 5,000 SHOTS. >> YOU ARE TELLING THE STATE YOU CAN VACCINATE 7,000 PEOPLE. THEN GET 975 DOSES. THEN YOU ARE SAYING THAT IS NOT FRUSTRATING. I -- WHAT IS THE DISCONNECT? >> YEAH. IT IS GLASS HALF FULL, HALF EMPTY. THESE 975 DOSES GOING TO COME TO OUR CITIZENS. THINK CAN HAVE AN IMPACT ON REDUCING HOSPITALIZATIONS. THERE COULD BE 0. >> AND IN ORANGE COUNTY IT IS 0. >> WE ARE STILL GETTING THE SECOND DOSE SHIPMENTS. JUST NOT THE FIRST DOSE. >> ZERO. >> #150E ROW. #150E ROW FIRST -- ZERO FIRST DOSE SHIPMENTS. THE STATE REALLY NEEDS TO RETHINK WHETHER OR NOT IT'S A GOOD IDEA TO DIVERT SO MANY DOSES. >> IN WAKE COUNTY ABOUT 60,000 PEOPLE ARE ON THE VACCINE WAIT LIST. >> IF I'M NOT NUMBER 50,000 IN LINE, WHEN AM I GOING TO GET MY VACCINE? >> IT DEPENDS ON THE NUMBER OF SUPPLIES. >> WE ARE LOOKING TO TRY TO GET AS CLOSE TO 0 AS POSSIBLE. >> AND A SECOND HIGH CAPACITY VAC #150E7B CLINIC IS SET FOR THIS WEEKEND AT BANK OF AMERICA STADIUM. ALSO IN CHARLOTTE HEALTH OFFICIALS THERE HOPE TO VACCINATE 20,000 PEOPLE OVER A THREE DAY PERIOD. DAVID, THERE IS HOPE THAT ONE DAY WE WILL HAVE A SIMILAR EVENT RIGHT HERE IN THE TRIANGLE. >> IT WOULD BE NICE TO SEE THAT

I'm meteorologist, Amy Weu in the WRL severe weather center, only a 20% chance of rain today. And that's gonna be mainly in our southern counties this afternoon and this evening. So most will stay dry today. It's dry Thursday, dry Friday. But then over the weekend rain chances go up, it's about a 60% chance Saturday, a 70% chance Sunday it won't rain the entire day, both of those days. But I do think we at least have a good chance for some scattered showers and storms. Both of those days. We'll get some high resolution model data starting tomorrow. And hopefully we'll have a better idea of the timeline for today. Again, the best chance would be in the afternoon and evening in our southern counties. So south of the triangle and it's only a 20% chance for rain. So again, most will stay dry today, it will be dry and feeling like summertime tomorrow and Friday, high temperatures getting close to 90 both days. And then over the week, we do have the potential for rain on Saturday, it looks like the morning could stay dry, which would be great news for the Coen Race for the Cure. We're a proud sponsor of that event, so we're hoping that it stays dry for sure. But then as we get to the afternoon and evening, a little unsettled, we'll have some scattered showers, maybe a few thunderstorms on Sunday morning, a few showers in the morning, but a better chance for some of those scattered showers and storms heading into the second half of the day and some of that rain will linger into Monday as well. Monday appears fairly unsettled with scattered showers and a few thunderstorms and we could even have a few storms on Tuesday as well around town. Today, we do not expect any rain for most locations. It's only a 20% chance 84 for the high in Raleigh and Durham, 84 for the high in Fayetteville as well. So it's a warm day out there for outdoor practices this evening. It looks pretty good. Just that slim chance for rain, especially down to the south will be at 82 by 5 p.m. 79 at 6 p.m. and then down into the low to mid seventies by 8 p.m. So overall it looks pretty good, could have a little bit of patchy fog overnight tonight. And then tomorrow it's warm 88 with mostly sunny skies, 89 on Friday and then we're dodging some rain and storms over the weekend and that trend continues into Monday and Tuesday of next week.
