***Be alert for patchy black ice this morning.*** Temperatures today will be a little warmer than on Tuesday, but still around 10 degrees below normal. The unusually cold weather will continue for at least the next 6 days.
Another night of very low wind chills is expected tonight, especially over the mountains. Wind chill values of 0 to 10 below are forecast for the northern NC mountains, where a Cold Weather Advisory is in effect for the higher elevations. The remainder of the mountains will see wind chills in the single digits.
The probability of significant (i.e., at least Winter Weather Advisory criteria) snowfall is steadily increasing for this weekend, beginning Friday evening and continuing into Saturday. If snow develops, significant impacts to travel can be expected.
