TODAY Governor Cooper will hold a briefing at 3 to talk about masks. WRAL will carry Olympic coverage and then stream the briefing on FOX50 and online. We still don’t know if new guidance is coming but we’ll keep you updated! @wral
Bright and early! Fallon’s Flower’s will deliver 1500 hundred arrangements today! They started at six this morning. If you need flowers - you can still order & come to the store and pick some up!
Already seeing a bit of a line building up outside the Durham Main Library. Those in line tell me they are waiting for the mask giveaway to start. It’s happening today only at all Durham libraries. You can get up to 10 per household @wral

If you take Athens Drive - leave yourself some extra time this morning! Starting today the Athens Drive Bridge is closed for the next year. Crews are working to demolish it in the next few days and ultimately replace it. The detour is about 10 minutes long
We’re going to see some warm weather here in Raleigh today - but some flights at RDU are delayed because of the storm headed to the Northeast. Definitely double check if you’re traveling this week! You can go to https://t.co/YeuIw6iyjL & type “flight tracker in the search box :)
HAPPENING NOW: A group of parents are protesting a petition for a vaccine mandate for 17 year-olds. The Commission for Public Health is reviewing it now. It’s likely it won’t be granted. Public health officials are recommending against it. @wral
A new COVID testing site opens today right outside DPAC today. You can walk in or sign up for an appointment on the @Curative site. Looks like there are about 200 slots available for today. The company says you get your results in 1-2 days.
The @WRAL family is shaken to the core. After work yesterday, my co-worker Erin was the victim of hit and run crash that has left her in critical condition. Police are still searching for the suspect. Please send a prayer for her and her family.
🥺 I’m so touched. Cliff from the @NCDOT just brought us & Raleigh Police breakfast biscuits while we’re all on the scene of an accident. They’re the ones doing all the hard work to keep drivers safe yet he was thinking of others. Just. The. KINDEST. ❤️ @wral@MarkOlexik
First an ambulance off the road on 87, now a tractor trailer off the road on 40. Crews are still blocking off 40 E by the Wade Ave Exit. Bridges continue to be the trouble spots out here this morning. @wral@wralbrian
So sad - @BrettKneseTV is reporting an ambulance went off the road off 87 in Knightdale. The ambulance was transporting a patient who was experiencing cardiac arrest. Unfortunately the ambulance is still off the road, and the patient passed from the medical emergency.
Good morning!!! Starting early this morning in the Stormtracker - already there are salt trucks on the road. Roads are wet from the rain but not slick. The trucks have been dropping salt over bridges across 40. @wral
Joining the chorus of journalists and former TV journalists who say NO MORE MMJ/SOLO LIVE SHOTS. It’s too dangerous. It’s well past time for the industry to realize that. Relieved to hear that @toriyorgeytv is OK.
@AustinS60387286 Yes! They are definitely telling the truth! They are great meteorologists and care deeply about providing the most accurate forecast for the community. The forecast changes all the time though so it’s best to follow @wralweather for the most accurate forecast!
