Another glorious weekend. 38 is the current dew point and 36 in roxboro and 39 in south hill and rocky mount and 36 in Southern Pines. We have a good chunk of the viewing area in the upper 30s, patchy frost possible in low lying and rural areas and not a hard freeze. This is not cold enough to see anen to the growing season just yet. Morning for the next, say, six days, not looking at the end of the growing season just yet. Not any time this week. The 24hour temperature change is noticeable down south. Yesterday morning we noted that a cold front moved through and the cooler air was spilling in from the north. Its not as big a difference from roxboro and downhill as down south. We have to wait until later in the day for the cooler air to make it down south. But its there now. Than yesterday.

So nice weather in the forecast for the next seven days with a chance of just a few passing showers late thursday. Brian is here with a look at the roads and still following the accident at i40 at page road. The good news is they re opened that ramp but the big problem are the onlooker delays at 40 west. 7 49 and taking a look at the camera, the traffic is slowing you can see the flashing lights under the right shoulder, and you need to scoot over one lane and slow down considerably and backing traffic up on 40 west. A live look at the commute and well zoom into the west side of raleigh and it slows through chapel hill and wade and beyond the solid red line indicating the stop and roll traffic. The latest sensory said that the ride will take at least 16 minutes and steadily climbing. Its a mess. As you can see, the outbound side of wade is merging and the delays build into the beltline. Outbound suede backing up with delays towards 440 with delays on and off from the capital boulevard out to wade avenue. Leaving west raleigh. You need to give yourself plenty of extra time and starting to see congestion and sun glare delays south durham between 54. Renee . Thank you, brian.
