For yet another weekend, rain is in the weekend forecast this week.

The same storm system that brought tornadoes to much of the Southeast is heading toward the Carolinas, and could bring strong and even isolated severe storms both Saturday and Sunday. 

The most likely day for rain will be Sunday, but late day storms could put a damper on the All-Star Race on Saturday evening. 

If the rain holds off, temperatures should be comfortable.  Highs will climb into the low 80s, but will cool into the mid 70s by the start of the race.

Gentlemen, beards aren’t just for hipsters and hippies anymore.

If you want proof the beard is king in Charlotte, stand by any college, or look around any corner uptown: You’ll see full beards on the faces of students and men in their 30s and 40s.

So why the new hankering for heavy stubble?

While some say beards just make a man instantly sexy, researchers discovered there’s more to it than sex appeal.

"There are certainly some benefits to having beards," said dermatologist Dr. Ronea Harris with Presbyterian Dermatology South.

The study from the University of Southern Queensland found stubble or facial hair can improve men's overall health.

"We know that hair bearing areas because of the hair it does tend to protect more from UV light so we don't see as many skin cancers," said Dr. Harris.

The study also says that "all that hair" retains moisture and protects against the wind, keeping you looking young and fresh-faced.

GASTON COUNTY, NC (WBTV)- Two people were arrested in Gaston County for fraudulently receiving more than $26,000 in food stamp benefits, according to a release from the Gaston County Police Department.

On May 12, officers arrested Crystal Stamey Ball, 34, and Mark Allen Ball, 44, and charged each with twelve counts of food stamp fraud and twelve counts of obtaining property by false pretense. 

Investigators say the duo fraudulently received food stamp benefits from August 2007 to October 2012 by misrepresenting their income and marital status.

The fraud was discovered by the Department of Social Services during an annual case review. Social Services then reported the incident to the Gaston County Police once it was discovered.

The value of the benefits received was approximately $26,187, police told WBTV.

The duo was booked into the Gaston County Jail and later released on bond.
