When, Where, What: North Carolina Winter Storm Warning & Timing
SUMMARY: Meteorologist Scott Campbell discusses the upcoming winter storm expected to unfold on February 19th. While the arrival of precipitation is slightly delayed, it won’t significantly affect snowfall totals. Snow is anticipated between 10 a.m. and noon, with a light band of snow or flurries projected early Thursday. The storm will bring a mix of snow, sleet, and freezing rain, particularly affecting Wayne and Samson counties, where quarter-inch ice could cause power outages. Snow totals are expected to range from one to six inches, and Campbell emphasizes the safety and changes in snow type, advising viewers to stay updated through WRALE broadcasts.
The clock is ticking as a winter storm makes its way to North Carolina. The timeline is shifting a little with the winter weather moving in between 10 a.m. and noon on Wednesday. And following Wednesday’s storm, there could also be another light band of snow Thursday morning.
The impending storm prompted an emergency briefing on Tuesday from Gov. Josh Stein. During the briefing, Stein declared a state of emergency.

Ideas for helping NC child care industry are solidifying, but a top suggestion faces headwinds
SUMMARY: North Carolina’s Child Care Task Force, led by Gov. Josh Stein, Lt. Gov. Rachel Hunt, and Sen. Jim Burgin, is addressing child care affordability, workforce pay, and financial stability, especially in rural areas. Child care providers struggle financially due to low subsidies and high costs, with infant care averaging $11,720 annually statewide. Owners like Halee Hartley and Annette Anderson-Samuels work multiple jobs to sustain their centers. The task force prioritizes raising minimum subsidy reimbursement rates to support providers equitably across counties. Discussions include establishing a child care endowment fund, leveraging philanthropy to supplement funding amid uncertain state and federal budgets.

Court docs show Harris Lake boating suspect had prior legal troubles
SUMMARY: Court documents reveal Quinton Kite, charged with causing a deadly boating accident at Harris Lake that killed a 10-year-old girl and critically injured a woman, had prior legal troubles. Kite was out on a $15,000 bond from a December 2023 felony hit-and-run charge involving Alex Meyers, who was seriously injured but survived. Dashcam and security footage showed Kite’s damaged truck after leaving the crash scene. Meyers expressed frustration that earlier legal action might have prevented the tragedy. Additionally, court records from New Mexico show Kite pleaded no contest to a 2009 DUI charge, completed probation, and attended DWI school.
That includes arrests in 2009 and pending charges from a hit-and-run in 2023 that injured a Vass resident.
