and very difficult to see as that fog continued to fill in. widespread in the area. temperatures about 47 degrees, shouldn't get colder than this. as a matter of fact, we're going to see warmer air moving in the winds out of the east at 7 miles an hour, you'll see them switching to the south later on. and wake up tomorrow warmer than where we currently stand. visibility down across the board. charlotte has the best at 4 miles an hour, everybody else at 2 miles an hour or less. jefferson less than a fourth of a mile. now as we look at the headlines, several things in the area. one is strong winds. two are the potential for tornadoes and a lot of rain over areas, charlotte in particular, we've seen 2"+ in the last couple of days, flash flooding could be a concern as well. think about tomorrow as well.

that we see tornados is fairly small. if we see, it we want to be sure you know where to go. think basement if you have it, lowest level of the home in the inside inner area hallway is good or room without windows. stay away from the windows, and keep in mind, you can't outrun a tornado, seek shelter immediately. okay? and as we get into tomorrow, i want to mention that we're under a flash flood watch through wednesday afternoon across most of the area. again, right now, things are pretty quiet, a few showers this evening across the area. we have the warm front that's been pushing up towards us, we're going to get the warm front tonight and the cold front tomorrow and that's going to bring us our chance of rain. show you quickly on the futurecast when that's going to happen. overnight showers, but really it begins in the morning hours in the mountain ranges, about 6:00, 7:00 a.m., the heavy rain starts to push in here. this is the potential, the time frame, severe weather right here, 8:00 to 10:00 in the morning across charlotte.

brown said she didn't think much of it until december 2014. >> our water supply wells within a thousand feet of each facility be sampled. >> reporter: brown and neighbors were told private well water needed to be tested because of proximity to alan's coal ash ponds, that's where approximately 16 million tons of coal ash is stored. it has chemicals linked to cancer. she and many neighbors received do not drink notifications from the state's department of health and human services. >> as you can imagine, you know, as a mother, automatically, i start thinking about the meals i prepared for my children, the water that they've been exposed to bathe in, swimming in a pool, you know, the ice. everything just starts going through your mind. it's just fear.

been living off of bottled water ten months now. it's taken over their home and routines. brushing teeth with bottled water. having to cook with it. >> normally i would have filled my pot up using my own water, now it's opening a bottle. pouring it into the pot and boiling the water for oatmeal. it starts out that early. >> reporter: all of this bottled water is paid for by duke. every two weeks, the company has it delivered to homes that received the do not drink notifications. duke puts that number at more than 200 homes receiving deliveries. >> it tasted great and real good clear water, and had no idea it had the chromium in it and the other. >> reporter: johnteague lives across the street from the browns, the same home he raised his kids in. after 30 years here, he's worried he'll be stuck in the

>> we thought about moving to the coast. you can't sell this coast. would you buy this house? no, you couldn't sell it to anybody. >> reporter: where do the chemicals come from? the state says these are naturally occurring constituents in north carolina's ground water. the question is at what level? >> still working on where the constituents are coming from duke or not. we should have that information by late spring/early summer. a very complex process, deal be with ground water plumes and ground water. >> reporter: under state law, deq had until the end of 2015 to classify all coal ash ponds as high, medium or low risk. they will determine how and when the cole ash ponds will be closed.

risk. >> we have the information to determine whether duke cole ash ponds were impacting these surrounding wells, and don't have that information, and so until we can make that clear, scientifically defensible determination, we can't rate that facility as low or intermediate. >> reporter: the linchpining classifying the responsibilities, the primary concern is the risk to ground water. erin is a spokesperson for duke energy. >> continue to see no evidence that ash basins around allen have impacted neighbors. >> reporter: according to duke, the coal ash ponds at allen pose, quote, no imminent hazard to the health and environment. ground water flows away from the nearest public or private water wells. colbert says duke is waiting on the state's final evaluation. in the meantime, they will keep providing bottled water

>> i'm pleased with the fact that the company stepped up to provide the neighbors the peace of mind, but now we're in a different place. we have a lot of the data collected. we still continue to see no indication that ash basins at allen and buck have influenced the neighbors's wells. >> reporter: aside from where the chemicals come from, there's the question of risk. >> would you feel comfortable drinking the water from the private well? >> i would because i understand that i meet epa federal drinking water standards. >> reporter: both colbert and reader are quick to point out the water complies with well water standards. >> that water is perfectly safe to drink, it meets all federal drinking act standards. i would drink, it allow my family to drink the water. i would allow anybody to drink the water. >> reporter: a spokesperson says the do not drink notifications the department issued were recommendations

they also said they'll update recommendations when deq releases more data. still around the allen plant, suspicion of what's coming out of the tap runs high, and patience is running out. >> we don't want nothing with duke. we just want good water. and if it's their fault, they ought to be responsible for getting us good water. >> it's been a year, over a year since we received the first initial letter from the state, and, you know, sad to say, but we're really, we're really in the same situation that we were in a year ago. kayla: a public hearing is set for the allen site on march 22nd and public comment will be accepted in mid-april. the classification for the coal ash sites could change based on public comments. final decision for allen and the other sites should come out sometime this summer and that could have major financial implications for

we'll be right back. i don't want to live with the uncertainties of hep c. or wonder whether i should seek treatment. i am ready. because today there's harvoni. a revolutionary treatment for the most common type of chronic hepatitis c. harvoni is proven to cure up to 99% of patients who've had no prior treatment. it's the one and only cure that's one pill, once a day for 12 weeks. certain patients... can be cured with just 8 weeks of harvoni. with harvoni, there's no interferon and there are no complex regimens. tell your doctor if you have other liver or kidney problems, hiv, or other medical conditions, and about all the medicines you take including herbal supplements. taking amiodarone with harvoni may cause a serious slowing of your heart rate. common side effects of harvoni may include tiredness, headache and weakness. i am ready to put hep c behind me.

are you ready? ask your hep c specialist
