Snow and Rain Expected Through the Day Friday

Snow totals could be as high as 6''+ in the High Country with a dusting - 2'' possible in parts of Charlotte

Rain will increase across the WCCB area overnight Thursday into Friday with snow increasing overnight across the Mountains,Β Foothills, and portions of the Piedmont. Snow looks to stay consistent across the Mountains and Foothills through the morning allowing theΒ bestΒ chance to see snow accumulation along and north of I-40. There are a few models that are allowing the cold air to catch up to the moisture through the afternoon which could allow a burst of snow to set up across the Piedmont.
Snow Totals:
High Country: 4-7”+
Foothills: 2-4”
I-40-I-85: 1-3”
South of I-85: Dusting – 1”
Impacts:Β 
– The greatest impact will come Saturday morning as black ice and refreezing is likely.
– Hazardous driving conditions during heavy snow bands.
– This event is a heavy wet snow event, therefore, isolated downed trees/power outages areΒ possible, but again that will be very isolated and will likely be north of I-40.
