Icy roads expected through at least Sunday

Ice built up Sunday creating slick and dangerous driving conditions. 

we now want to go to brian schrader who's been monitoring what's happening with the traffic situation brian. Yeah, Deborah and Gerald, we are watching those cameras that great news that we have finally gone above freezing in the triangle. You can see the drops coming off those icicles hanging off the camera there in west Raleigh at wade Avenue at Edwards Mill Road. And what appears to be mostly wet roads there on wade Avenue, maybe some slush over on the side of the road, couldn't rule out slick bridges here and there around Wake County as well. And maybe some slush on the side of the road. That could be a little tricky. But for the most part it looks like our surface roads are going to be improving steadily through Wake County here for the rest of the afternoon. And we'll see that slow improvement in Durham as well. But as you take a look at that live camera, the Durham Freeway at Briggs Avenue near downtown, we have much worse conditions. We kind of have to pull ourselves up from in Durham with snow and ice covering a lot of major roads as we've been saying this morning, if the Durham Freeway looks like that, then you know that secondary roads are in even worse shape neighborhood streets as well. We saw earlier from aimee Willmott than the WRL storm tracker, that a lot of the residential streets in Chapel Hill are just sheets of ice. So it just depends on where you are this afternoon as to the kind of driving conditions you're seeing this is our model that estimates those current road conditions where you see the green, that's where we're just seeing wet roads. So that includes much of eastern north Carolina where we have those warmer temperatures. The red as you see here through the triangle area, That's where we're seeing problems with some significant icing on a lot of surface roads. And of course the bridges Then that purple area that runs roughly along that I-95 quarter, that's where temperatures have warmed up enough that we're starting to see a lot of those slick bridges starting to melt and road conditions improving greatly. So through wilson, rocky mountain roanoke rapids, we're watching that steady improvement. It's making its way back toward the west toward the Triangle, but it's not safe to be out there on the roads in the triangle area right now and won't be for some time. As Elizabeth mentioned, we're going to see those temperatures warming air temperatures warming through the rest of the afternoon into the evening hours and there might be a while there later this evening where the roads are just wet but we have to be careful about refreezing tonight and it could be an issue in some spots Tomorrow morning. Something else is working in our favor is that soil temperatures are in the low 40s. So it's melting from underneath as well. In addition to the air now being above freezing as we take a look around the triangle, we do have a few crashes you'll notice all the yellow, which indicates slower than usual traffic speeds. It's over on the western side of the triangle in Durham Chapel Hill and Hillsborough through Wake County. We've seen a lot of improvements, still seeing some lingering delays though around Kerry and also around apex. An issue we've been following for much of the morning here into the afternoon. Hi 95 is closed in both directions on the north side of Robison County between N. C. 20 and U. S. 301. This is all because of low hanging power lines. They've had to close the interstate in both directions there now, estimating it won't be open until maybe four o'clock this afternoon. They do have a brief detour set up there. So if you must get out and you are heading south out of Fayetteville and Hope Mills on 95 you will run into that brief detour in the ST paul's area back to you
