Power outages, downed trees in the Triangle after overnight storms

According to WRAL meteorologist Peta Sheerwood, although overnight storms left some downed trees behind, the morning commute is in good shape as severe weather moves out of the area.

"Today is looking good," Sheerwood said. "The sun will come out today, and some beautiful conditions will be on tap for us this week."

Any showers and storms should move out by the morning commute, leaving behind a sunny, mild Monday, which will see a high in the mid to upper 60s.

The rest of the work week is also expected to be clear, with a possibility of more storms on Friday.

Although storms were moving out Monday morning, much of central North Carolina was left with downed trees, power outages and wet roads.

At one point, 10,000 customers were without power in Wake County. By 8 a.m., that number had decreased to 2,000. Many of the outages were reported in east Cary near the mall.

Several reports of downed trees were also reported in Wake County. Trees were reported down on Six Forks Road, New Hope Road, Peace Street, Person Street, and Western Boulevard in Raleigh. Trees were also reported down on Seabrook Road in Garner, Johnson Pond Road in Fuquay-Varina, on New Light Road in Wake Forest and on East Franklin Street in Zebulon.

Many of those roads were cleared for the morning commute.

Other counties saw more damage than Wake.

A sinkhole on Sunday closed both lanes of Davis Road near Oak Ridge Drive. According to officials, the road flooded Saturday, causing the sinkhole to open on Sunday morning. Officials did not say how long the road would be closed.

Some areas were still grappling with flooded waters on Sunday, including in Johnston County, where parts of Creech Church Road at N.C. State Highway 42 were submerged under water.
