It's snowing with some sleet at times within the mountains. It's coming down in Boone and at Beech Mountain. This wintry precipitation will continue to pick up tonight and early Sunday morning, but more in the form of sleet and freezing rain. #ncwx #cltwx #avlwx #boonewx #snow

The accumulating sleet, snow and some freezing rain has created problems for many of our western NC roadways. Please stay of the roads by all means possible. Most will see additional freezing rain before this all tapers of late tonight. #ncwx #cltwx #winterstorm #avlwx #boonewx

We are monitoring areas along the escarpment, Piedmont and Triad for additional freezing rain with some mixed in sleet through the evening hours. This will allow more ice to accumulate on trees, power lines, roads and vehicles. #ncwx #cltwx #winterstorm #avlwx #sleet #ice

Radar Update (4:07 pm): We have a heavy band of freezing rain mixed with some sleet working in and this will be the start of where power outages become concerning as this accumulates on trees and power lines. #ncwx #cltwx #winterstorm #winter #freezingrain #sleet #hkywx

We currently have a mix of freezing rain and sleet that has recently picked up within Uptown Charlotte. #ncwx #sleet #freezingrain #winterstorm

Another blast of Arctic air meets up with moisture that could be ushered in from a coastal low over the weekend. I've laid out details on what we feel is responsible to share on social media right now. We want you prepared, but not going to feed you any hype. #ncwx #cltwx #gsowx

It's Wednesday and models still hint at this Nor'easter to churn close to the coast Saturday, therefore bringing a chance for snow to much of the Carolinas. I'm leaning towards a blend between track 1 and 2 at the moment. #cltwx #ncwx #snow #winterstorm

Enjoy the brief return of spring-like temperatures today with highs warming into the low 70s for much of the region. #ncwx #cltwx #avlwx #boonewx

A cold front arrives late tonight and into Wednesday morning that will bring widely scattered showers throughout the state. We'll accept every drop of rain with open arms at this point. #ncwx #cltwx #rain #coldfront #avlwx #boonewx #gsowx

There are widely scattered showers that remain in place at this hour. However, as the cold front moves south the dry air will break away the clouds giving way to more sunshine. #ncwx #cltwx #coldfront #avlwx #boonewx #hkywx #gsowx

An area of low pressure will move in over the weekend bringing some beneficial rainfall to the state. Due to the consistent rain expected throughout Sunday, localized flooding can't be ruled out. #ncwx #cltwx #rain #weekendforecast #weather #avlwx #gsowx

Our next system moves in throughout Sunday bringing beneficial rainfall to the Tar Heel State. It's wise to postpone outdoor plans or to move them indoors. Also, localized flooding can't be ruled out. Spectrum News 1 CLT #ncwx #cltwx #avlwx #gsowx #rain #drought

Polls have opened! a) spring-time warmth b) winter temperatures If you chose spring-time warmth you are in for a treat come next week. Spectrum News 1 CLT #ncwx #cltwx #gsowx #rduwx #avlwx

Let me put it into perspective on the drought conditions that are currently in place in western NC. We need 7-11" of rainfall in a one month period to completely wipe away this ongoing drought. #ncwx #cltwx #avlwx #boonewx #drought

I'm going to break down the coverage of rain over the next few days. A cold front will move in late this week and become nearly stationary before an area of low pressure develops along the coast. We'll fine tune the forecast in the next day or two. #ncwx #cltwx #avlwx #weather

This nor'easter will bring blizzard conditions to parts of the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast over the next 24-48 hours. However, blizzard-like conditions can't be ruled out at times within the mountains today. #ncwx #cltwx #avlwx #boonewx #snow #noreaster #blizzard #winterstorm

What a pretty shot of the snow coming down at Lees-Mcrae College this morning. This snow will become more widespread later today and continue throughout much of Monday. #ncwx #cltwx #avlwx #boonewx #beechmountain #snow #winter

This has been an impressive upslope moisture snow event for the mountains. Here are some views from areas where it's actively snowing. #ncwx #cltwx #avlwx #boonewx #snow #mountains
