The cause of the outage is not known, however snow and rain in the area may have contributed.
Periods of rain and snow will continue Sunday morning as a cooler airmass moves into the region and a low pressure system heads east Sunday night, according to the National Weather Service in Wilmington. Occasional snow showers are possible into tonight and Monday morning. Most spots south of I-70 will mainly see rain during the day, but more snow may fall through the evening and overnight.
So far, about 2-4 inches of snowfall has been reported along and just north of I-70 and about 1-2 inches south of the highway. However, compaction and melting has cut those amounts, according to NWS.
