Winter storm will bring ice, freezing rain

Winter Weather Alerts are already in effect ahead of a winter storm that will bring ice and freezing rain to North Carolina Wednesday. Larry Sprinkle has the details on what we can expect and just how bad things might be. 

Nearly three dozen people are without their home after an early morning apartment fire in south Charlotte. Richard DeVayne has the latest from the scene as investigators have determined what caused the fire to start.
