>>>
>>> 17
>>> 17 PAST THE HOUR ON THE SUNDAY MORNING AND OUR COVERAGE CONTINUES.
WE ARE GETTING COVERED IN RAIN,
SLEET, SNOW. HERE ON THE LENS
YOU CAN SEE THE RAIN DROPS
COLLECTING THERE AND LET'S GO
OVER TO LARRY SPRINKLE WHO IS
STANDING BY WITH THE LATEST AND
WHEN IT WILL FINALLY BE OUT OF
HERE.
>> LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT OUR
CAMERA AND YOU CAN SEE ON THE
LENS THOSE ARE FROZEN WITH
TEMPERATURES UP AROUND 30
DEGREES AND IT INDICATES THE
KIND OF PRECIPITATION WE ARE
HAVING RIGHT HERE IN THE
CHARLOTTE METRO AREA WITH RAIN
AND FREEZING RAIN AND SLEET
FALLING AND IT WILL CONTINUE
THROUGHOUT THE DAY.
AS YOU LOOK, THE WIND IS
BLOWING THERE AND A LOT OF
SNOWFALL IN THAT AREA.
ANYWHERE FROM EIGHT TO 11
INCHES.
WINS, SUSTAINED WINDS OF 20
MILES PER HOUR HERE IN
CHARLOTTE AND 16 AT ROCK HILL
AND THAT IS A BIG FACTOR. IT
FEELS LIKE 14 DEGREES WITH WIND
CHILL INDEX, 22 IN CHARLOTTE
AND 14 IN JEFFERSON AND WEST
JEFFERSON AND DEBBIE SNOW TO
THE NORTH AND THE WEST.
DANGEROUS DRIVING ACROSS THE
ENTIRE AREA.
HERE IN CHARLOTTE, MORE WINTRY
WEATHER AGAIN TOMORROW.
THIS IS DOPPLER RADAR AND
EVERYWHERE IN GREEN AS A COLD
RAIN AND WE'VE SEEN AREAS IN
PINK AND ALL NORTH OF HERE FROM
ASHEVILLE TO BLOWING ROCK AND
BOONE AND A GREAT ALONG THE I-44
CORRIDOR AND WINSTON SALEM AND
THAT INCLUDES SALISBURY IN THIS
CONTINUING TO FALL.
A MIX OF EVERYTHING.
FREEZING RAIN A BIT SOUTH AND
AND EAST AND SOUTHEAST AS RAIN
AND HEAVY AT TIMES.
THE FORECAST FOR TODAY UP TO 18
INCHES OF SNOW AND MORE THAN
THAT UP TO AREAS AROUND BOONE
AND SOUTH OF THEIR TOWARD
MORGANTON AND INTO CALDWELL
COUNTY AND LENORAH.
8-10 INCHES ALONG THE I-44
CORRIDOR.
CHARLOTTE HAS 2 INCHES OF SLEET
AND FREEZING RAIN AND IT ADDS
UP 4 INCHES SOUTH EAST OF HERE
THAT WOULD BE SLEET AND
FREEZING RAIN.
HOUR BY HOUR WE GO.
LOW TO MID 30s AND WE SEE THE
FREEZING PARTICIPATION --
PRECIPITATION CONTINUES RIGHT
INTO THE EVENING AND THE I-44
CORRIDOR.
YOU GO BOONE IN THE MOUNTAIN
COMMUNITIES IN THE 20s AND SNOW
+@CONTINUES TO FALL.
THE BIG PROBLEM YOU WILL SEE IS
A POTENTIAL FOR ICE AND THE
TRACK OF THIS AND WHAT WILL
HAPPEN IN THE KIND OF
PRECIPITATION WE WILL SEE AND
WE WILL GET THE LATEST FROM
CHRIS.
>> WHAT A GROSS FORECAST.
>>> WE CAN THANK TWO THINGS.
A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WITH A
HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM.
THIS HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM IS
TRYING TO GIVE US COLDER AIR
AND THIS LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM
GIVES US MOISTURE.
PUTTING THEM TOGETHER WE HAVE
THE SNOW, ICE OVERHEAD AND WE
SEE A GOOD AMOUNT OF RAIN.
HERE IS YOUR STORM PLAY-BY-
PLAY.
YOU WILL SEE THIS LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM MOVE OFF TOWARD THE NORTH
EAST.
WHEN IT DOES THAT THAT ALLOWS
FOR A LITTLE BIT OF A LOCAL.
DRIER AIR WORKS IN AND I AM NOT
SAYING THE PRECIPITATION IS
FINISHED BUT THAT IT HAS TAKEN
A BREAK AND AS WE WORK OUR
WHERE WAY THROUGH THE EVENING
WE SEE MORE SNOW TO THE NORTH
AND THE ICE AND RAIN MAKES IT
THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AND THE
LOW OFF THE COAST BY THE
EVENING.
NEXT STEP IF FOLATE MEANDERS FOR
THE EAST AND THE TECHNICAL
STORY BEGINS OVERNIGHT TONIGHT.
A LOT OF US LOVE THE COLD RAIN.
33 OR 34 DEGREES ADDS TO THE
FLUSHING -- SO SHE MUST.
SNOW TEMPERATURES WILL ALLOW
THE LAST OF THE WINTER SNOW TO
BE HERE.
6:00 A.M.
IS WHEN WE ARE ALMOST DONE WITH
IT AND BY NOON IT WILL BE DONE
AND WE HAVE A DRIER FORECAST
AND A SUNNIER TUESDAY AND WE
OBSERVED IT AND IT WILL BE A
LITTLE BIT WARMER AS WELL.
I LOVE TO AND ON AN OPTIMISTIC
NOTE.
WE HAVE A LOT OF SNOW.
THAT MEANS SNOWMEN WILL BE
POPPING UP. IF YOU PLAN ON
BUILDING A SNOWMAN TOMORROW, DO
IT DURING THE AFTERNOON FROM
HICKORY AND UP TO BOONE AND YOU
HAVE A LOT OF SNOW TO PLAY
WITH.
BUNDLE UP AND DRESS WARM BUT
STILL A WICKED SUNDAY FOR THE
TIME BEING.
LARRY?
>> WITHOUT A DOUBT.
LET'S LOOK AT THE SEVEN-DAY
FORECAST.
ISSUES TODAY AND TOMORROW WITH
PRECIPITATION AND NORTH HERE ALL
SLEET AND FREEZING RAIN.
TOMORROW MORNING WE MAKE IT A
WINTRY MIX WITH A LITTLE SNOW
AND THEN IT IS TUESDAY AND
WEDNESDAY WITH TEMPERATURES
DROPPING INTO THE 20s AND
THAT'S A MAJOR PROBLEM RIGHT
HERE FOR THE CHARLOTTE AREA,
WITH BLACK ICE AND TEMPERATURES
FALL TO THE 20s.
