How much actual power do Governors have? I ask because I had plans to drive to WV to see my Aunt the best times to travel on the interstate is of course in the late evening or morning.
NC made this announcement recently:

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — North Carolina will be implementing a modified stay-at-home order and a nighttime curfew beginning Friday, Governor Roy Cooper announced Tuesday as COVID-19 trends continue to rise statewide.
The new restrictions, which take effect at 5 p.m., create a nighttime curfew from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. The restrictions continue through at least Jan. 8, 2021.
"It means just what it says: people are to stay at home between those hours," Cooper said.
Businesses, including restaurants, bars, entertainment venues, personal care businesses, most retail stores and more will be required to close at 10 p.m. Alcohol sales are required to stop at at 9 p.m. The sale of alcohol cannot resume until 7 a.m.
Can the governor actually arrest me for being out at these times?
