Steve d. but first, lets cover the black ice concerns. What do we need to know . Temperatures are going to drop down into the 20s tonight. That is a reason why we have a lot of concern for black ice on the roads tonight. Anything that is wet right now could refreeze and create a big mess in the morning. A Winter Weather alert will go into effect from right now all the way into noon tomorrow. There is concerns for black ice. You will probably want to reconsider getting out to early too early on the roads tomorrow. Remember, the salt of the they have put on the roads are not effective if temperatures drop down below 24 degrees. We have a tiny little shower here popping up in sampson county, but most of this is back off the north along the i95 corridor. All the way from d. C. And into new york. This is creating very heavy conditions up towards the northeast. Fortunately, we are not dealing with that. Weird ely with this system of low pressure and another system behind that. Right now, lower 30s for most of our eastern section. But as we go through the next couple of hours, our temperatures are going to drop quite quickly and we are looking at temperatures in the upper 20s by the time we reach midnight already. It does look like a chilly day tomorrow as well. I will tell you when we could see a warmup and more melt ing coming up in just a few minutes. Tisha now the big question, when will the power come back on . Power is off in several of our largest counties, 18,000 1800 in Hamilton County and a handful in durham. Elaine alvarez Angelica Alvarez is live with more. Angelica . Angelica they are trying to make fast work of it. Let me just stepped out of the way so you can take a closer look here. Step out of the way so you can take a closer look here. Several thousand people are in the dark tonight. You can see the cruise here the crews here and the major issue is causing thousands of people to be in the dark tonight. Crews are working overtime to get things back up and running and they hope to have everyone powered up no later than 11 00 on monday night. This is not the only hardhit area. The heavy ice is wreaking havoc on thousands of people in the starting at 6 00 a. M. Tomorrow yesterday, and they said they wont have anyone to come out until monday. Angelica this means there are 5800 people without power in nash county. There are downed trees and downed power lines so we ask our countries to have as much patience as they can because this is a unique event with significant Power Outages in the area. Angelica the cleveland fire chief says that this home was up in flames when us when a stove was left open to warm the home, but then it off fire when the power came back on. No one was hurt, but our dog and and if you know someone in the dark tonight, there are some numbers that you can call to report outages. You can call 1 800 419 another number is the number here. Those numbers are on our website at abc11. Com. Again, duke energy hopes to have everyone back up and running before 11 00 on monday night. Live in raleigh, i am Angelica Alvarez. Steve d. that is a long wait for so many people in the dark and the cold tonight. Thank you, angelica. And this is video in buffaloe road north of smithfield. A large tree had fell across the rhone and it is across the road and it has tangled and power lies. Is like a tale of two cities. Major arteries like i40 here are mostly clear of snow and ice, but then if you go on the side roads, story changes very quickly. Tisha we had breaking news from state officials tonight. Joel . Joel yes, there are still concerns about tonight, but crews have made major in ways tonight. Let me show you where we are. This is the triangle expressway. Patrol road the toll road goes through carrie and up until about one hour ago, this was covered in white snow and ice. They are dumping that sand and salt with that truck you can see there, so they are finally starting to make some progress. You can see the blacktop now. So they are making progress. Victory. For the first time in 24 hours, drivers can see the blacktop on interstate 40. Plow trucks are finally getting dividends on the most heavily traveled roads. But there was snow that came and thus sobering news. The governor is concerned about a refreeze and drivers getting in the way of the cruise the crews. He begged fans of basketball to not go to the game. We do not want you to go to the game. Joel most fans ignored governor mccrory. Josh strickland drove in from north raleigh. Josh we couldnt listen to the governor. We had to go to the game. We both dry the big cars. So we were ok. We were ok. Josh i never thought twice. The roads were fine. Joel so we are bringing you back out here live with breaking news as the salt trucks are making their way down the expressway. The crowd estimate this afternoon was about 19,000 people that showed up. That is just short of capacity. It is safe to say that the basketball rivalry trumped of the governors warning about the roads. Tisha people were itching to get out. Live out there on the road, joel brown. Thank you. And now we have Heather Waliga giving us a live update on some raleigh neighborhoods. Heather tisha, things are not looking very good, at least here in wade county. They just want us all to take it slow and just stay home if you can. We are right here on wade avenue in downtown raleigh, and it looks quite clear, but if you turn here on gardner avenue, it is a world of difference. It is just a sheet of ice. These roads could pose a problems for school buses, monday morning. Problem for School Busses on monday morning. While the road crews have been constantly treating the roads, until the temperature rises, there is just not a lot that they can do. They are hoping that they can break up and push the ice away. At a certain temperature, the 24 is about your threshold for that, so what we are looking at, hopefully when temperatures start to rise, everything will start to break up. Heather now the good news here in wade county is that the salt should be doing its job here. The concern here is when it all starts to refreeze and we could see black eyes again. Looking here on gardner street in black ice again. Looking live here on gardner street in raleigh, it is very dangerous. That is why the very best advice we can give you tonight is to just stay home and enjoy the weekend with your family because you really dont want to run into things like us. Reporting live in raleigh, Heather Waliga. Steve d. in durham, this tractortrailer became the victim of a very icy offramp. The driver learning and rig jackknifed there. Elaina athans is riding shotgun now in the first alert storm chaser. How does it feel driving down there . Elaina not so good, it is pretty messy in some spots. I will show you. You can see the blacktop in some spots. The problem is, this is not slush we are rolling over, this is ice. This is after trying to move out of the roadway. [indiscernible] ideally, what they want here is [indiscernible] in Durham County. Trucks will be later clearing the roads and they plan to use another 20 tons of salt and sand mixture. Main roads and there are some primary roads that have not been treated right now. Again, this is covered in a very slippery, treacherous ice, so if you live down this way, avoid this road. Public works are out on side streets. They are plowing to give some traction. They said their crews will be working through tomorrow to try to make these roads passable. We have some serious accidents out here, we have seen a car crash into a restaurant this afternoon along erwin road. I believe right now nobody was hurt in that crash. Also, i spoke with the Durham County sheriffs office, and they had to respond to about three racks three wrecks today. These neighborhoods in durham, please, stay off the road.

Serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. Before treatment, get tested for tb. Tell your doctor if youve been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if youve had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flulike symptoms or sores.
