>> YEAH, ESPECIALLY WITH THE
POTENTIAL OF SLEET,
ACCUMULATING ICE AND A
TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF SNOW
HEADING UMM INTO THE MOUNTAINS.
UP INTO THE MOUNTAINS.
TOMORROW, THAT WOULD BE
HORRIBLE AND THERE'S A CHANCE
TO CLEAR SOME LANES OUT IF WE
GET SOME ACCUMULATING SNOW AND
THEY'LL BE TENDING TO THAT AND
MAY BE BETTER ON MONDAY.
TRAVEL MAY NOT BE POSSIBLE IN
SOME LOCATIONS ON SUNDAY AND
MONDAY SO JUST KEEP UP WITH US
HERE ON WCNC THINKING WE'RE
GOING TO HAVE A BOAT LOAD OF
SCHOOL CLOSURES FOR MONDAY AND
EVEN BEYOND THAT POINT.
SOME BUSINESSES COULD BE CLOSED
AS WELL.
WE HAVE POWER OUTAGES POSSIBLE
DUE TO ICE AND WIND.
SOME OF THE HEAVIER SNOW EXOWLD
ALSO LEAD TO POWER OUTAGE --
COULD ALSO LEAD TO POWER
OUTAGES AND VERY COLD
TEMPERATURE KEEPING THE SNOW
AND ICE AROUND.
SPEAKING OF TEMPERATURE AND
COLDER AIR BLASTING IN.
THAT'S DIGGING AROUND THE HIGH
PRESSURE SYSTEM SO WE GET THAT
COOLER AIR THAT'LL BE IN PLACE
LATER ON IN THE EVENING AND
WE'RE SEEING RAIN AT FIRST AND
IT'S TRYING TO FALL NOW AND
IT'S STRUGGLING BUT EVENTUALLY
IT'LL BREAK SOME OF THE DRIER
AIR AND THEN THE RAIN INTENSITY
WILL PICK UP.
ALL THIS HEAVY MOISTURE
COLLIDES INTO THE COLDER AIR
AND THEN WE HAVE A WINTER STORM
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.
HERE'S WHAT WE'RE EXPECTING.
RAIN ROLLING ON LATER ON IN THE
AFTERNOON AND WE SHOULD SEE
MAYBE SNOW FLAKES MIXING IN
WITH THE RAIN FOR THE
FOOTHILLS, INDICATING AROUND
CHARLOTTE FALLING AS RAIN TILL
5:00 P.M..
WE'RE WORKING OUR WAY THROUGH
THE EVENING AND ONSET OF THE
COLDER AIR.

29 IN BOONE. 29 IN JEFFERSON AND A POTENTIAL OF SNOWFALLING.
FOR ABOUT A THOUSAND TO FIVE
THOUSAND FEET UP, THAT'LL
REPORT WET FEET INITIALLY.
WE'RE EXPECTING THE HEAVIEST
SNOW.
AFTER MIDNIGHT, I THINK 3 TO
MIDNIGHT UP IN THE MOUNTAINS WE
SEE HEAVIER SNOW AND MY CAUSE
AND CONCERN AS EARLY AS 6, 7,
UR8 00 WE HAVE THE PINK --
8:00, WE HAVE PINK THAT'S
TRANSITIONING EVERYTHING OVER
TO FREEZING RAIN MIXING WITH
SLEET AND MEANWHILE NOT TOO FAR
NORTH AND THERE'S A CHANCE
AROUND 485 CORRIDOR WHERE WE'LL
HAVE A CHANGEOVER OF SNOW TO
SLEET TO FREEZING RAIN.
BACK AND FORTH MIX AND REPEAT.
HERE'S IMPROVEMENT BUT RAIN
DIVES IN FROM THE SOUTH AND
THAT'LL DIVE IN TO THE SOUTH
AND MORE OF A RAIN CALM AND ALL
SNOW UP INTO THE MOUNTAINS AND
HAVE ONE OF THE HEAVIEST SNOW
TOTALS THERE AND THE BACKSIDE
COULD FILTER IN MORE WINTER
PRECIPITATION HEADING INTO
MONDAY MORNING.
WE HAVE ALL OVER THE PLACE
FORECAST LIKELY.
HIGH TEMPERATURES ONLY AT 34
DEGREES TOMORROW SO THAT'S WHY
WE HAVE REALLY AN UP IN THE AIR
FORECAST FOR THE CHARLOTTE AREA
TO THE NORTH AND NORTHWEST.
IT'LL BE SNOWING MOST OF THE
DAY AND WE HAVE 14 TO 20-INCHES
IN THE MOUNTAINS.
STILL A CHANCE THE LINE COULD
DIVE DOWN TO THE SOUTH AND MORE
SNOW DOWN TO THE CHARLOTTE AREA
AND NORTHWEST CHARLOTTE, ABOUT
4 TO 6-INCHES AND MEANWHILE
AROUND MATTHEWS, 2 TO 4-INCHES
AND A LOT OF THAT COULD BE
MELTING AND INITIALLY SOMETIMES
SNOW RATES WILL BE AT 1 TO 2-
INCHES PER HOUR AND THAT'LL
+@
SNOW RATES WILL BE AT 1 TO 2- INCHES PER HOUR AND THAT'LL OVERCOME THE MELTING RATE.
THE ROAD TEMPERATURES ARE ABOVE
FREEZING.
THIS IS SOMETHING YOU DON'T
WANT TO SEE.
ANYTHING UP TO A QUARTER INCH
OF ICE, THAT'S A KNEW SENSE AND
BRINGING DOWN POWER LINES AND
WE HAVE REPRESENTATION AND RAIN
SNOW LINE PICKING UP, WE HAVE
UP TO A QUARTER OF FOUR TENTHS
OF AN INCH OF ICE.
BEYOND THIS, WE ARE NOT LOOKING
AT A BIG WARMUP AND WE'LL SEE
SUNSHINE ON TUESDAY AND THAT'LL
MELT SOME OF THAT AWAY BUT IT'S
NOT TILL NEXT FRIDAY THAT WE'RE
BACK INTO THE 50S SO BE EXTRA
CAREFUL OF
