Weekend Winter Storm Inches Closer

We are changing the wording from likely a winter storm to get ready for the winter storm.

A Winter Storm Watch has been issued from Saturday evening until Monday morning for a portion of the viewing area. These are issued by National Weather Service offices and since we have multiple that cover the WCCB Charlotte area, not every county is included in this at the moment. They will be though.

Key forecast points:
– This is going to be a mixed precipitation event
– Timing is overnight Saturday into Sunday. So it is a Sunday event.
– The weather will vary region to region:
– Mountains – Mainly snow
– Foothills – Snow with a mix
– Piedmont – Mixed. Something like snow, sleet, freezing rain, snow.
– South of I-85 will see a mix, but with rain added in as well.

– IMPACTS: Downed trees, power outages and travel issues are likely.

Tonight: Light mtn. snow. Mostly cloudy with clearing overnight. Low: Mid 30s. Wind: Wind shift – N/NW 5.

Friday: Sunny. High: 55. Wind: N/NW 5-12.

Saturday: Mostly cloudy. High: 47. Wind: E 5-10.

Have a great night and get ready!
