<p>HAVE SAVED DOZENS OF STUDENTS THIS MORNING. GOOD AFTERNOON TO YOU. I'M JEFF HOGAN AND I'M RENEE CHOU, A BUS DRIVER ABACK TO HER BUS JUST MINUTES BEFORE IT BURST INTO FLAMES WHILE ON THE WAY TO BEN HAVEN ELEMENTARY. &gt;&gt; WRAL'S ERIC MILLER HAS BEEN LOOKING INTO THIS FOR US TODAY. ERIC, I SAW SOME PICTURES FROM THE SCENE. IT WAS AMAZING. NO ONE WAS HURT. &gt;&gt; YEAH, ABSOLUTELY, RENEE. AND CERTAINLY SOME SCARY MOMENTS FOR STUDENTS AND PARENTS HERE AT BEEN HAVEN ELEMENTARY. AND YOU LOOK AT THIS VIDEO RIGHT HERE, YOU CAN SEE WHY PARENTS TELL US THEY COULD SEE THAT PLUME OF SMOKE FROM THAT BURNING BUS AT LEAST HALF A MILE AWAY TODAY. THIS ALL STARTED RIGHT AROUND 07:00AM. THAT'S WHEN THE DRIVER OF THAT BUS BUS 206, TURNED ON ALL OF FARM ROAD ARE ALL FROM DRIVE. EXCUSE ME WHEN SHE STARTED TO SMELL SMOKE. ANA COUNTY SCHOOLS SAYS THE DRIVER IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER, WENT THROUGH THE DISTRICT'S SAFETY PROTOCOLS AND EVACUATED THE BUS. ALL STUDENTS WERE SAFE AND SOUND WHEN THOSE FLAMES THEN SPREAD FROM ONE INTO THE BUS TO THE OTHER COMPLETELY ENGULFING IT. NOW, FIREFIGHTERS WITH THE BEEN HAVEN FIRE DEPARTMENT. IT ONLY TOOK ABOUT 5 MINUTES TO BRING THAT FIRE UNDER CONTROL. THE CAUSE IS STILL UNDER INVESTIGATION. SO I TALKED TO A LOT OF PARENTS THIS MORNING AND THEY ARE SO THANKFUL FOR THAT BUS DRIVER'S QUICK THINKING DOING THE RIGHT THING TO KEEP THOSE KIDS SAFE AND MAKE SURE THEY WERE ABLE TO GET TO SCHOOL HERE THIS MORNING SAFELY FOR THAT. &gt;&gt; WE'RE THANKFUL AS WELL THAT</p>

Hi, everyone. Meteorologist Anthony Baglione here in the Wral Severe Weather Center. Let's talk about our forecast as we head into the upcoming week. As we head past this weekend, we have a couple of things there, what we're tracking as far as sunshine returning. So it's been definitely kind of a cloudy weekend for most of us on the whole. Should be a very pleasant start to the week though. Some sunshine getting through warmer temperatures, nineties by the time we get into our Thursday and then a holiday weekend, rain chances very early starting on, let's say Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday. We're just tracking the potential for some rain heading into the holiday weekend. I'll talk about that here in just a second. Otherwise, let's talk about what we're looking at here. Future cast wise, there could be a spotty Sprinkle as we get into tonight for the most part though. Uh, just about everyone's quiet. Something to keep in mind though. There could be some fog out there for your Monday morning commute. We should start off with a little bit of fog. We'll start off with partly cloudy skies and really keep a mix of sun and clouds through the majority of the day. It'll be dry though to start the week and actually a pretty good day. If you want to just enjoy out on the patio or something, it should be fine. Maybe firing up the grill tomorrow night. Sounds kind of good. We go to 80 degrees for a high temperature tomorrow. 76 at seven o'clock. And then we start to see a warm up once again. 84 on Tuesday, 88 on Wednesday, we should hit 91 by the time we get to our Thursday 86 on Friday. And I know a lot of times when that heat kind of comes back into the forecast that begs the question, is it gonna feel gross as you walk outside? I really don't think it will the next couple of days it does get back in the humid kind of category though for us Thursday, Friday, we're not quite too tropical where we could be during the summertime months. But I think for our Monday, Tuesday, even into Wednesday, it should feel fine as you're headed out. Just a little bit of humidity. There's what we're looking at here the next seven days. 80 on our Monday, 84 on Tuesday, we go to 88 Wednesday 91 Thursday. You see those rain chances starting to come in there. Thursday, Thursday night, a stray shower or a thunderstorm. The best chances at the this point look to come in Friday night, Saturday during the morning, we may get a break. Saturday afternoon, Sunday afternoon doesn't look like total drenching conditions, but just enough where if you're traveling, you may want to keep an eye on the forecast here with a couple of chances of showers and storms.
