We are hearing from drivers in other states who think North Carolina should think twice before contracting with except tra to build toll lanes. Nick ochsner visited sentra row roads in three states and more on what he found. The road sentra is build in charlotte are different from the roads we visited that the roads will be adjacent to free lanes on i77. The roads we visited in texas, chicago, and indiana are full toll road with all lanes tolled. Right now, the two of the three toll lanes have been sold that we visited. The one in indiana after sentras subject siry declared bankruptcy and the one in chicago after the subject siry defaulted on the loans. The result was higher tolls with drivers that forced the drivers to find free routes. That is one of the concerns with toll increases it will push traffic on to local roads that are not setup for the increase of traffic. And we have seen some of that over the years. Sentra and representatives for ncdot say the toll lanes on i77 will be good for drivers and taxpayers. Find out more in my 6 00. On your side.

Now the national traps takings safety board is trying to figure out what happened and crystal wants answers too. Molly grantham with her story. It was supposed to be a fun Family Vacation but it did not play out that way. Crystal was sitting below deck with her threeyearold in her lap the entire 12 hours. Huge waves started crashing into the crusade waves were 30 feet high. Crystal is wondering why the captain steered them into the storm there was a warning issued for days ahead of time. It felt like they would never get out of what they were experiencing. In the afternoon to 4 00 p. M. Sunday morning at least, it was hard. There was no breaks or anything. The boat was tipping from side to side like we were going to fall over it was intensely crazy. Her threeyearold in her lap the whole time.

Lets check right now with tonya rivens. Your first alert traffic is sponsored by peoples bank. As we check in on i77 and woodlawn road there is congestion and we have quite a bit of activity in the area. A stranded motorist at i77 and notice a lot of red on the mapping system that is stopandgo traffic. South boulevard has red on its side and south tryon not much better but a better alternate route than sitting on i77. As we take a peek at i77 and 485 more delays and congestion and an accident i77 northbound at nations ford road. I recommend south boulevard as a great alternate route to avoid this as well. Enjoy the sunshine today. And stick around for a while. It seemed like it was warmer but im curious what is to come. Thought it felt mild today and how quickly we get used to it. We are in the 40s it is a cold day. But compared to yesterday. You both are right and going back into the 30s for highs. 45 there it is. The high today did hit 48. Your weather net but, boy, up early this morning how about a low of 17. You see all the sunshine. Nice sunset on the way. Hourbyhour forecast through the evening hours we are going to drop steadily and efficiently. Clear skies. With that already down to freezing into the 11 00 p. M. Hour. And overnight, this is not the official low. This is out the door at 8 00 a. M. Yes, no question another cold start. But again that is not the 17. Up into the mountains woe go. And well, look at this. More snow approaching. President s day weekend for the skiers . Good for you. 22. All right. Now, lets talk about friday. We have this upperlevel impulse that is flying along the jetstream. Its way up there across iowa. Here is charlotte. Well pullback and the leading edge of this into st. Louis. Now, i could have taken the mileage marker and the more steady snow is to the northwest but you get the picture. On your futurecast through the day on friday. I will stop it here at noon and already that snow now firmly into the mountains. You see this break out here outside of the mountains near charlotte there could be flurries. I would not rule out a brief period of light snow. And it will continue there in the high country. Hourbyhour forecast be mindful you could have a flurry around lunchtime. Up to 41 at 4 00 p. M. Now, different story reserved for the massachusettss. And could end up with 24 before its over and through 11 00 p. M. On friday night. And on that note, here it is. You see the snow continuing through 11 00 p. M. And once we get past that it should taper off during the overnight hours and there is a quiet weather map friday. Cannot say that about monday. A recap we have this cold air north of this warm front. And i discolored the freezing line that is freezing. 32. So if you are north of this inside this pocket you could see around midday monday, sleet and snow up in the mountains but it will changeover to freezing rain and rain here in the charlotte area. Snow not very, very likely here. Again we are talking about the immediate charlotte area. Our confidence is high we will see less than an inch. Although we could maybe slip greater than 3 inches 1 we are not looking for a lot of snow out of this in charlotte. Again it will be different for the mountains. So the midday flurries friday. And the second wave of cold air with highs in the he will owes and lows in the teens. But incredibly it looks like we will get back above freezing with the system coming in monday unless you are north of charlotte. And outside of that things will winddown tuesday could see strong showers Tuesday Morning and look at that seasonable weather midweek next week. Thank you. Next, a story you will only see on wbtv.
