Snow expected to accumulate in North Carolina mountains - WXII12 Winston-Salem

IT’S NICE AND IT’S INSIDE TOO. SO IMPACTED BY ANY COLD. EVEN RAINY WEATHER AND. IT WILL BE KIND OF CHILLY THIS WEEKEND. IT WILL BE. YES. WE’VE GOT A LITTLE BIT OF A TEMPERATURE FOR SATURDAY. WE GET BACK TO ABOUT NORMAL ON SUNDAY, THOUGH HERE’S A LOOK AT TEMPERATURES OUTSIDE RIGHT NOW. 36 DEGREES IN LAX, 47 IN WINSTON-SALEM. AND IN GREENSBORO. BUT TEMPERATURES DON’T REALLY BUDGE ALL THAT MUCH AS WE HEAD THE DAY TODAY. SO I WOULDN’T EXPECT A HUGE WARM UP. IN FACT, WE’LL JUST END KIND OF CLOSE TO NORMAL AS WE ARE OUTSIDE AT SATELLITE RADAR. WE’VE GOT A COUPLE RAIN SHOWERS TO OUR EAST AND IN THE MOUNTAINS. WE’VE GOT A COUPLE OF SNOW SHOWERS. WE’VE ALSO GOT SOME STRONGER WINDS IN THE MOUNTAINS. WINDS THROUGHOUT AREA FOR THE MOST PART IN THE 10 TO 15 MILE PER HOUR RANGE. BUT ONCE YOU HEAD TO THE HIGH COUNTRY, WE’VE GOT WINDS IN EXCESS OF 20 MILES PER HOUR PLUS GUSTS ON TOP OF THAT AND SOME OUR MOUNTAIN GUSTS COULD BE IN THE 45 MILE PER HOUR RANGE TODAY. SO THAT’S PART OF WHY WE’VE GOT THIS WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY FOR THE COUNTRY. THIS IS FOR SOME OF OUR AND IT’S BECAUSE WE’VE GOT SOME SHOWERS. ONLY 1 TO 4 INCHES EXPECTED. SO NOT INCREDIBLY HIGH SNOW TOTALS, ESPECIALLY FOR THE MOUNTAINS. WE HAVE SOME MORE SNOW ABOVE 3500 FEET. BUT THE ISSUE, OF COURSE, IS THAT WE’VE GOT THOSE SLIPPERY ROADS THAT AFFECT THE MORNING AND THE AFTERNOON COMMUTE. AND WE ALSO HAVE THOSE WINDS GUSTING 45 MILES PER HOUR, MEANING LOW VISIBILITY AT TIMES ON THE ROADS BECAUSE THAT SNOW CONTINUES TO BLOW BACK INTO YOUR WINDSHIELD. A LOOK AT IMPACT DAY ALL DAY IN THE MOUNTAINS BECAUSE OF THAT FLURRY CHANCE AND BECAUSE OF THE WIND MAKING FEEL A LITTLE BIT WORSE AND MAKING HARDER ON THE ROADS FOR THE TEMPERATURES. GET INTO THE UPPER FORTIES. WE’VE GOT THE WINDS IN THE 20 MILE PER HOUR RANGE A LOT OF THE DAY. AND IN THE TRIAD TO 25 MILE PER HOUR WINDS ARE ESPECIALLY AS WE HEAD THROUGH MIDDLE PART OF THE DAY. HERE’S A LOOK AT OUR BY HOUR FORECAST. AND YOU’LL NOTICE THAT OF US WILL BE DRYING OUT AND EVEN GETTING SOME BEAUTIFUL SUN IN THE MIX. BUT ALL THROUGHOUT THE DAY, THOSE SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS CONTINUE. IT’S NOT A CONSISTENT BUT GRADUALLY WILL ADD UP THROUGH THE DAY AND CAUSED SOME CONCERN FOR US. OVERNIGHT TEMPERATURES WILL FALL DOWN BELOW FREEZING PRETTY EARLY IN THE EVENING AND THEN STAY BELOW FREEZING. SO SLICK ROADS POSSIBLY EVEN AS EARLY AS SATURDAY MORNING, WHICH IS LIKELY PART THE REASON WHY THEY HAVE THAT WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY NOT EXPIRING UNTIL 7 A.M. TOMORROW. HERE’S A LOOK AT OUR WEEKEND ALL THROUGHOUT OUR AREA. A COOLER DAY FOR YOUR SATURDAY. TEMPERATURES IN THE MID TO LOW FORTIES EVEN IN THE PIEDMONT IN THE FOOTHILLS WARMER SUNDAY. HERE’S YOUR SEVEN DAY FORECAST OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS AFTER THAT WILL CONTINUE WARMING 60. BY MIDWEEK NEXT WEEK BUT ALSO SOME RAIN HEADED OUR WAY AT THAT POINT. GOOD MORNING. COMING UP ON TODAY WE’LL HAVE A LOT MORE OVERNIGHT ON THE SUDDEN DEATH
