A winter storm is bringing a mix of snow, sleet and freezing rain to the region. We started the afternoon off with a bunch of dry air, therefore, the snow that was falling was evaporating before it made it to the surface. Those near and north of I-40 will continue to see snow, but sleet and now freezing rain is taking over much of the piedmont — this will cut down on snow totals, but will lead to more ice concerns. The entire area is under a Winter Storm Warning from 7 am Friday until 7 am Saturday. Winter Storm Headlines: TRAVEL: Travel will be the biggest issue! Bridges and overpasses will be the first the freeze. SNOW TOTALS: Charlotte: Dusting – 1” Piedmont: 1 – 2” — More north with less south. Foothills: 1-3” Mountains: 3-5”+ ICE TOTALS: Around Charlotte: .10 – .25” Southeast of Mecklenburg: .15 – .30” OUTAGES: Power outages are not a huge concern, but for areas that have more ice, some outages are certainly possible.
