Go slow: Roads wet, no major issues as wintry mix moves out
SOUTH AND WRAL WILL HAVE TEAM
COVERAGE OF THIS WINTER WEATHER
ALL MORNING LONG.
IT IS 8, 30 AND IN LINE WITH
THE FORECAST. THE ONLY PLACES
THAT WE'VE SEEN SNOW IS IN OUR
NORTHERN COMMUNITIES LIKE CAR
LIKE IT LOOKS LIKE THE SNOW
HAS TAPERED OFF THERE. AS WE
GIVE YOU A LIVE LOOK.
>> THANKS FOR JOINING US ON
THIS WRAL WEATHER ALERT DAY.
I'M RENEE CHOU AND I'M MICHELLE
MACKONOCHIE. OF COURSE, SEVERAL
PARTS OF OUR AREA STILL UNDER
A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY.
THIS MORNING. METEOROLOGIST
AIMEE WILMOTH WILL HAVE THAT
COMING UP. BUT RIGHT NOW YOU'RE
LOOKING AT A LIVE PICTURE OF
ROXBORO.
>> SNOW WAS FALLING AT CAR LAKE
IN LAKE GASTON. RENEE JUST
MENTIONED THAT HAS TAPERED OFF
JUST A BIT. WE'RE FOLLOWING
SOME SCHOOL DELAYS THIS
MORNING. NEW THIS HOUR, WARREN
COUNTY SCHOOLS ANNOUNCING THE
SWITCH TO REMOTE LEARNING THEY
WERE ON A TWO-HOUR DELAY.
THEY ARE NOW COMPLETELY REMOTE
FROM WARREN COUNTY STATE
HIGHWAY PATROL SAYS NO CRASHES
TO REPORT SO FAR THIS MORNING,
WHICH IS GOOD NEWS. WE ARE HERE
TO HELP YOU PREPARE FOR YOUR
DAY AS YOU DECIDE WHETHER
YOU'RE GOING TO HEAD OUT FOR
YOUR MORNING COMMUTE. WE HAVE
CREWS CHECKING ON ROAD
CONDITIONS AND CHECKING THE
PRECIPITATION THAT'S FALLING
OUT THERE RIGHT NOW. OUR TEAM
OF METEOROLOGISTS WILL PROVIDE
UP TO THE MINUTE UPDATES AS
THIS SYSTEM IS MOVING ON
THROUGH. LET'S START WITH AIMEE
WILMOTH BEGINNING OUR TEAM
COVERAGE FROM THE WRAL, SEVERE
WEATHER CENTER AND THOSE WINTER
WEATHER ADVISORIES. THOSE
NORTHERN CAUGHT COMMUNITIES.
THEY'RE THE ONES WHO GOT LUCKY
ENOUGH TO SEE SNOW. THAT IS
RIGHT. AND REALLY AS YOU GO
INTO VIRGINIA, THAT'S WHERE
WE HAD.
>> SOME OF THE SNOW
ACCUMULATING ON GRASSY SURFACES
SO THE WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY
REALLY PANNED OUT AS WE THOUGHT
IT WOULD WITH THE WINTER
WEATHER CONFINED MAINLY TO OUR
NORTHERN COMMUNITIES. THIS IS A
LIVE LOOK AT WARREN. 10.
I'M JUST A MOMENT AGO. THEY HAD
A LITTLE BIT OF WINTRY
PRECIPITATION MOVING THROUGH.
THAT IS KIND OF COME TO AN END
AND NOW THEY'RE JUST DEALING
WITH SOME WET ROADS THERE.
WE'RE IN THE CLEAR AS FAR AS
ANY SLICK ROADS ARE CONCERNED.
THEY'RE JUST WET AND MOST
LOCATIONS ARE. THIS IS A LOOK
AT OUR NORTHERN COMMUNITIES.
SO HENDERSON, YOU HAVE A LITTLE
BIT OF WINTRY PRECIPITATION
HEADED YOUR WAY. PROBABLY A
MIXTURE OF SOME SLEET AND SOME
SNOW AS WELL. BUT REALLY ALL
OF THE WINTER WEATHER HAS BEEN
CONFINED TO OUR NORTHERN
COUNTIES, A PAN OUT A LITTLE
BIT, A LITTLE BIT OF A COLD
RAIN AND SOUTHERN WAKE COUNTY
AND POINTS TO THE SOUTH.
STARTING TO SEE IT PICK UP A
LITTLE BIT IN INTENSITY OF SOME
OF OUR SOUTHERN COUNTIES.
CUMBERLAND COUNTY, SOUTH OF
FAYETTEVILLE, SOME MODERATE
RAIN ABOUT TO MOVE INTO SAMPSON
COUNTY CLINTON. YOU HAVE SOME
MODERATE RAIN JUST TO THE SOUTH
OF DOWNTOWN CLINTON RIGHT NOW.
ROAD TEMPERATURES ARE ABOVE
FREEZING STILL. SO WE DO NOT
HAVE ANY ICY ROADS OR ANYTHING
LIKE THAT. I WOULDN'T RULE OUT
MAYBE A SLICK BRIDGE OR 2.
AND SOME OF OUR NORTHERN
COUNTIES. BUT WE HAVE NOT HAD
ANY REPORTS OF THAT EITHER.
SO TEMPERATURES ARE RIGHT AT
FREEZING IN ROXBORO AND SOUTH
HILL ABOVE FREEZING EVERYWHERE
ELSE WHERE WE COULD SEE SOME
SLICK BRIDGES. HENDERSON, 31,
THE CURRENT TEMPERATURE, 28 IN
ROANOKE RAPIDS. SO REALLY IT'S
OUR NORTHERN COUNTIES. BUT
AGAIN, WE HAVE HAD NO REPORTS
OF ANY ISSUES WHATSOEVER ON
