Charlotte Local Pulse: Missing Child Alert and Winter Weather Warning

Good morning, this is Charlotte Local Pulse for Sunday, February 22nd. We're starting this morning with a developing situation that has our community pulling together. Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police found a young boy wandering near Mt Holly-Huntersville Road and Rozelles Ferry Road in our North Division yesterday evening around seven o'clock. The child, who appears to be between nine and twelve years old, goes by the name Bryson Usher Daniel. He was wearing a red jacket over a blue hoodie, blue Under Armour sweatpants, and black Nike shoes when he was discovered. Right now, he's in the care of Mecklenburg County Department of Social Services while police work to locate his parents or guardians. If you have any information about this boy or his family, please call 911 immediately. Detectives are asking our community to help bring this child home. On the weather front, we're looking at a mostly dry afternoon here in Charlotte with temperatures climbing into the low sixties. It's going to feel mild for late February, though that changes tonight. Clouds will increase as we move toward evening with showers developing overnight. Tomorrow takes a chilly turn with temperatures only reaching into the mid thirties and windy conditions developing throughout the day. Wind gusts could reach twenty to twenty-five miles per hour, making it feel even colder than the actual temperature. If you're heading to the mountains, bundle up because conditions there will be significantly harsher with wind chills dropping into the single digits. There's also the possibility of some snow showers developing in our higher elevations, particularly on the western facing slopes, with up to two to four inches possible around Beech Mountain. For most of us here in the Charlotte area, we're looking at rain chances returning overnight, but by tomorrow morning things should start drying out. Speaking of travel, if you're planning to fly out of our local airports in the coming days, here's something to be aware. The Department of Homeland Security has suspended TSA PreCheck and Global Entry programs due to the ongoing partial government shutdown that began February fourteenth. These programs normally help speed registered travelers through security lines, so you'll want to allow extra time at the airport right now. On a brighter note, Queens University baseball had quite the weekend. The Royals put on a show yesterday with four home runs leading to a walk-off victory over Southern Illinois. The team wraps up their weekend series today when they host North Carolina A&T at the Stick, with first pitch scheduled for one o'clock this afternoon. That's what's happening in our community today. This has been Charlotte Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates. Thanks for tuning in and please subscribe. This has been a Quiet Please production.
