<p>FEET STORE. &gt;&gt; IN LESS THAN ONE WEEK, YOU CAN LEGALLY PLACE YOUR SPORTS BETS ONLINE IN NORTH CAROLINA. WE WANT TO SHOW YOU THIS MAP HERE IN RED HERE. THESE ARE ONLY 12 STATES THAT STILL PROHIBIT AT THIS POINT. SPORTS GAMBLING, MANY OF THE PEOPLE WHO ARE AGAINST THIS LEGALIZATION, THEY CITE THE NEGATIVE EFFECTS THAT IT COULD HAVE ON YOUNG PEOPLE AND YOUNG ADULTS. WRAL, HEALTH REPORTER GREAT TABLE SPOKE WITH A PSYCHOLOGY EXPERT ABOUT WHO IS MOST AT RISK FOR DEVELOPING ADDICTIVE BEHAVIORS. &gt;&gt; THESE IMAGES FROM A YALE UNIVERSITY STUDY SHOWS THE BRAIN OF A COCAINE ADDICT IN THE AREA STIMULATED WHEN SHOWN A VIDEO OF DRUG BEHAVIOR. AND THIS IMAGE IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE SAME THING IS DONE. BUT TO A GAMBLING ADDICT. AND AS YOU CAN SEE, THE REWARD CENTER IN BOTH BRAINS ARE STIMULATED IN VERY SIMILAR WAYS. AND IT'S WHY NEUROSCIENCE EXPERTS ARE VOICING CONCERNS AS NORTH CAROLINIANS PREPARE TO PLACE THEIR BETS. GAMBLING IS THE ONLY BEHAVIORAL ADDICTION THAT'S RECOGNIZED IN THE DIAGNOSTIC AND STATISTICAL MANUAL. ONE OF ROSA LEE'S MAIN FOCUS IS WITH USC'S DEPARTMENT OF PSYCHOLOGY AND NEUROSCIENCE IS ADOLESCENT BRAIN DEVELOPMENT. WE OFTEN CALL IT THE SECOND ONE OF DEVELOPMENT. SECOND ONLY TO THOSE FIRST 3 YEARS OF LIFE. IT'S A PERIOD IN WHICH SHE SAYS THE BRAIN IS SUSCEPTIBLE TO FORMING HABITS. GOOD. &gt;&gt; AND THAT IT'S ALSO TIME FOR AND WE KNOW ADOLESCENTS ARE ESPECIALLY DRAWN TO REWARD AND AWARDS TO KENYA AND THEN ALSO THE FRONT PART OF THEIR BRAINS. THE PREFRONTAL CORTEX SLOWLY MATURING INTO YOUR EARLY 20'S. &gt;&gt; THESE DAYS IT'S HARD TO TURN ON THE AND ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO SCROLL THROUGH SOCIAL MEDIA WITHOUT SEEING AND HEARING AD AFTER AD NORTH CAROLINA ASKING YOU TO DOWNLOAD AND DEPOSIT IT CAN MAKE THIS TYPE OF BEHAVIOR SEEN REALLY AND WHAT WE WOULD CALL SOCIALLY NORMATIVE, ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE SEEING A CELEBRITY, YOU REALLY LOOK UP TO OR AN ATHLETE. YOU REALLY LOOK UP TO. &gt;&gt; PROMOTING THE SAINTS THAT MIGHT MAKE IT SEEM ESPECIALLY ALLURING. EACH AD IS REQUIRED TO DISPLAY A GAMBLING ADDICTION SUPPORT HOTLINE. BUT LEE POINTS OUT THAT ON MOST ADS, THAT NUMBER IS EXTREMELY SMALL AND OFTEN HIDDEN AMONG SEVERAL LINES OF OTHER LEGAL DISCLAIMERS TO PLACE A BET LEGALLY IN NORTH CAROLINA, YOU MUST BE AT LEAST 21 YEARS OLD. BUT LEE SAYS THAT COULD BE HARD TO ENFORCE ONLINE. LET'S BE HONEST. A LOT OF TEENS ARE MORE DIGITALLY SAVVY VET AND THE GROWN-UPS THAT APPARENT TO THEM. SO IT'S ENTIRELY POSSIBLE THING LIKELY KIDS WHO ARE UNDERAGE WILL PROBABLY FIND A WAY TO ACCESS THESE GAMBLING SITES. YOUNG ADULT MALE, SPECIFICALLY THOSE RECEIVING COLLEGE EDUCATIONS HAVE BEEN SHOWN TO BE MORE LIKELY TO ENGAGE IN ONLINE SPORTS BETTING AND BEING STATE THAT LOVES OUR SPORTS. LEE SAYS THAT WILL LIKELY BE ESPECIALLY TRUE HERE IN NORTH CAROLINA. GRACE HABE A WRAL NEWS. &gt;&gt; WE SHOULD ALSO SAY THAT IF YOU OR A LOVED ONE MAY NEED SUPPORT, YOU CAN CALL THE NUMBER AT THE BOTTOM OF YOUR SCREEN IF WE POP IT UP, THE THE NUMBER AS YOU SEE THERE, 1, 8,</p>

I'm meteorologist, Amy Wilm in the WRL severe weather center. Pretty nice weather today. A mix of sun and clouds with temperatures close to normal for this time of year. We reach 80 degrees in Raleigh and Durham, 79 in Rocky Mount. 81 for the high temperature in Fayetteville. If you want to have dinner outside this evening, it's going to be a lovely evening to do that at 7 p.m. We're in the mid seventies, mostly sunny skies, low seventies at 8 p.m. and then we're back down to the sixties by nine o'clock and certainly no rain in the forecast for today. For the next three days. The weather stays pretty quiet and the big story will be the warming of our temperatures 80 today, 84 Tuesday and then 88 for the high temperature on Wednesday. Once we get to the holiday weekend, that's when things turn unsettled and temperatures will drop a little bit. We have scattered storms in the forecast for Friday, especially Friday night. Saturday, scattered storms possible at any point in time, just a few spotty showers and storms Sunday and then we're back to some scattered storm chances on Monday, no day looks like a washout as of now. So keep checking back in and we'll have a better idea on the exact timing and amounts once we get to around Thursday or so, here's a look at Futurecast. This is for Thursday morning. It's a dry start to the day. But then Thursday night we have some scattered showers. So most of Thursday is dry. It's not until very late. We could see a few showers. Friday morning looks dry. Maybe you're hitting the road early on Friday for the long holiday weekend, it looks dry for most of the state. And then once we get to Friday evening, it's the western half of the state that has some storms for us. It'll be Friday night, an overnight Friday in early Saturday, we'll have a good opportunity for some rain and storms. Saturday morning, rain chances for us fairly slim and really across most of North Carolina rain, chances look pretty low Saturday morning. But then we get into the afternoon and evening, the peak heating and we'll have some scattered showers and thunderstorms. Sunday morning. We could have some rain along the North Carolina coast and then just some hit showers and storms across a good part of the state. But a lot of dry time as well. Monday for Memorial Day, we'll have some hit and miss showers and storms as well. So it's very quiet for the next few days with temperatures warming up. We're in the low nineties by Thursday and then temperatures back off a little bit over the weekend. But again, that does come with the potential for some scattered showers and storms.
