Reporter christine, we spoke to the commissioner jacqie planning to make sure the tournament is the best tournament ever. She told us a few things we can expect to keep our eyes out for for ciaa 2016. She said this year, fans can get discounted tickets on amtrak, mcwilliams also promised that surcharge at the ritzcarlton wont happen again, that was a big story and controversial story we covered on wbtv for quite some time. She also talked about after a shooting last year during a nonsanctioned event at music factory, police will be very much more visible this year. Charlottemecklenburg police asked the city to label this an extraordinary event to give officers more search powers and they were granted that. Last year the ciaa pumped nearly 56 million in the local economy, they are expected to do that and possibly a little bit more this time around.

Christine we are getting more reaction to the Charlotte City Council Decision to approve a nondiscrimination ordinance giving more protections to the Lgbt Community. The conservative Advocacy Group North Carolina values coalition released a statement which says in part the city council lost all sanity. A government mandate that says men can enter womens bathrooms and locker rooms at any time for any reason is absurd. The aclu said we applaud the Council Members, making their city more welcoming and inclusive urged leaders across john all new in this half hour the North Carolina chapter of naacp is calling for redrawn congressional maps to be thrown out. Map redrawn after a federal panel of judges ruled two of the states districts were unconstitutional. The votes who challenged the original map are asking the judges to decide by march 18th whether the new map is fair. Naacp Officials Say the new map disproportionately packed minority voter in three districts. Officials are optimistic after the Supreme Court denied a stay in the case. No justices on the court issued a dissenting opinion gives us real hope that the Supreme Court is tired of these cases coming from North Carolina that are constructed for the voting strengths of african americans. They said the judges should draw a map themselves like virginia. Director says the new new congressional maps should be upheld. 6 36, go over to Kristen Miranda.

Another half inch overnight. Over 2. 33 inches. A back edge to this, lets look in the queen city, there is still spotty showers and trust me, the streets are still wet after that pounding rain overnight. But again these are very spotty compared to what is happening in the mountains and foothill, the mountains will see rain all day long. The foothills you will likely get erosion deeper through the morning and afternoon. In charlotte i think a lot of this is lifting northward. Look at futurecast at 8 00, you can see the back edge of this, notice the mountains dont clear out at all until very late in the afternoon. Again, im not talking about a clear out as far as cloud cover goes, that will be with us all day long, not seeing sunshine but notice a lot more gray than green. Rain blossoms tonight. Temperatures mild in the 50s. Warm overnight, and then get this, tomorrow could be close to 70. Clover leaf Elementary School in statesville getting rain in that part of iredell county, again we have rain drops on the lens but not raining in charlotte at the moment. Visibility at the moment, fog is not much of an issue. Rain chances are highest this morning, but they pare back to 30 chance late this afternoon, high of 53. That is chilly compared where we were yesterday whether we when we were 66. The next rain maker in texas will be coming across the southeast tonight and then tomorrow it impacts our area.

Other situation is anywhere in the eastern two thirds of the viewing area potential at least a slight chance for severe storms tomorrow, i could not rule out a tornado tomorrow afternoon or evening, rain and wind is a definite, tornadoes we will be monitoring that situation. Threat of Severe Weather, just a lot of clouds damp cool weather, a little bit of rain linger, 90 chance of thunderstorms tomorrow some of which severe. Snow in the mountains thursday, rest of us will dry out, windy, 54, friday and the weekend looking good. Warm back up by sunday.

Here is the situation on i77 northbound at tyvola road. There you make out the medic bus over on the side of the roadway. The accident is behind that. But Charlotte Fire Department has two of three lanes blocked off, sort of blocking that accident scene while medic does their job, so that is forcing everybody in one lane sort of scooting around that accident scene. So again we have major backups there you have tyvola rhode androad and archdale, you could work over toward south tryon, look at backups, extending past arrowood road. Well coop an eye on this, we keep an eye on this. Two of three lanes blocked off. Most of the rain has moved out of the area, most of the major interstates still running in the green, slow downs on the expressway, though, in toward center city with an accident at hawthorne and again, our accident here on 77 north.
