jwishon@wdbj7.com Keith and Jean, No problems have Richmond been reported so far... state officials
are just overwhelmed by the number of
people wanting to vote.

Workers have answered nearly 10-
thousand phone calls this week from
people wanting to know if they're
registered and where they should go to
vote.

By noon, The cities of Bristol
and Danville along with Campbell County
had all seen nearly 10- percent of
their registered voters cast ballots.

CHANNEL=C VO-NAT

VO-NAT State officials are predicting

30- to 40- percent of voters will
turnout statewide....

Now that number may seem low, but
in the history of presidential
primaries in Virginia, the highest

turnout was 17- percent back in 2000.

Heavy turnout is creating long
lines in some localities....

We don't know yet which
primary... the Republican or
Democrat... is seeing more voters....

CK-TITAN RADAR ANALYSIS *CG 304

<< Good evening, I'm meteorologist
Robin Reed in the SkyTracker7 Forecast
Center. With a wedge of colder air at
the surface, and warm air moving
overhead, light showers and drizzle
will stick around through the evening.
Temperatures north of the Roanoke
Valley will be close to freezing this
evening, so areas of sleet and even a
pocket of freezing rain is possible.
Amounts will be light, but use caution.
Overnight, a low pressure system will
move in from the south bringing
measurable rain in around 2AM, and will
stick around until around Noon
Wednesday. Rainfall amounts will be
around .50" or more, with some heavier
downpours possible toward sunrise.
Warm air will try to break the cold
wedge tonight with temperatures holding
steady or even rising a couple of
degrees. The cold front will push rain
out early in the afternoon, with slow
clearing late. Winds will increase a
bit as a front passes, but nothing like
what we saw over the weekend. Wednesday

night, winds may approach 30mph.
Sunshine and warmer weather return
Thursday and Thursday night. A second
cold front will usher in some colder
air Saturday and Sunday, but bring
little in the way of moisture. TUESDAY
NIGHT: Periods of rain. Low: 34
WEDNESDAY: Rain early, clearing and
breezy late. High: 45 WEDNESDAY NIGHT:
Partly cloudy and breezy. Low: 27 For

the hardwood tonight right here on Your
Hometown Station to battle the fifth
ranked North Carolina Tarheels.

The Cavs have lost nine of their
last ten games and unless they can
upset the Heels tonight, UVa's record
will fall below 500.

Head coach Dave Leitao says the
only way to snap out of the slump is to
keep working, but some think it might
be time to back off a little and try a
different approach.
