In a recent interview, U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin said "very few" states still have a $7.25 minimum wage.

>>> A NICE AFTERNOON AND INTO THE EVENING THERE IN FAYETTEVILLE. LOVING THAT. >>> EFFORTS TO RAISE THE FEDERAL MINIMUM WAGE HAVE COME UP SHORT WITH MODERATE DEMOCRATS HESITANT TO SUPPORT PROPOSALS FOR $15 PER HOUR. ONE OF THEM, JOE MANCHIN OF WEST VIRGINIA SAYS MOST STATES HAVE THEIR OWN MINIMUM WAGE THAT IS HIGHER THAN THE $7.25 MINIMUM. PAUL CHECKS HIS CLAIM FOR POLITIFACT. >> Reporter: JUST HOW MANY STATES AFTER MINIMUM WAGE THAT'S HIGHER THAN $2.25? WEST VIRGINIA'S JOE MANCHIN SAYS IT'S AN AWFUL LOT. THE DEMOCRAT SAYS VERY FEW IF ANY STATES ARE STILL AT $7 AN HOUR. SO IS HE RIGHT? ACTUALLY, NO, HE IS NOT RIGHT. ACCORDING TO THE U.S. LABOR DEPARTMENT, 21 STATES AFTER MINIMUM WAGE THAT'S STILL AT $7.25. THAT INCLUDES SOME BIG ONES. TEXAS, PENNSYLVANIA, GEORGIA, AND EVEN NORTH CAROLINA. WELL, SOME STATES, LIKE CALIFORNIA AND NEW YORK, HAVE PASSED LAWS TO GRADUALLY RAISE THE RATE TO $15 AN HOUR. NO ONE HAS ACTUALLY REACHED THAT LEVEL YET. SO BACK TO JOE MANCHIN. HE SAID ONLY A FEW STATES AFTER MINIMUM WAGE OF $7.25. ACTUALLY THERE ARE 21 STATES, WHICH COMES OUT TO ABOUT 40%. THAT'S MORE THAN JUST A FEW, LIKE HE SAID, AND IT'S WHY THE TRUTH-O-METER RATES HIS CLAIM FALSE. HOW DO NORTH CAROLINIANS FEEL ABOUT RAISING THE MINIMUM WAGE? WE HAVE RESULTS TO A RECENT

Meteorologist, Amy Wilmoth in the WRL severe weather center, a severe thunderstorm watch has been issued for our southern counties. It's just south of White County where we have the watch in effect and this is in effect until eight pm. This evening. We do have a level two risk for our southern counties as well. Severe storms possible through the afternoon through the evening. And even after sunset, we could see some of those severe storms, damaging winds, hail and isolated tornadoes would be the threats with today's round of storms. The level two risk is south of the triangle. It includes most of our southern counties and the level one risk is in effect for the triangle area. So we do expect some severe storms today, just make sure you have a way to get warnings if you're going to be out. And about this is a look at the radar right now. We're watching numerous showers and storms to the west and southwest of us and all of this is headed in our direction. So it will be fairly unsettled through the evening by five pm. We have some of those storms in the area, especially in our southern counties, seven o'clock, we'll have some storms, same thing at 9, 1011 o'clock tonight. And then by midnight it looks like the storms start to move out of our area and things will settle down overnight tonight. But we do have that threat for severe storms. So we have the weather alert day in place for today. It's going to be mainly late this afternoon and through the evening into the early nighttime hours, 79 for the high today, it's quiet Thursday. We'll have partly cloudy skies with a high of 8082 on Friday. It looks like it will stay dry. But then Friday night, we're back to a 50% chance for storms. We'll have scattered storms on Saturday. A few isolated storms on Sunday and then we dry Monday and Tuesday with highs in the low to mid 80 S.
