The Ice Storm Warning has been downgraded to a Winter Weather Advisory, as precip has ended but roads remain slippery from lingering ice and sleet. Temperatures will warm above freezing across most of the area by early afternoon, which should improve road conditions.
Extreme Cold Warning is now in effect from 6 PM this evening through noon Tuesday across Avery County and above 3,500 feet in Mitchell, Yancey, Madison, Haywood, northern Jackson, and Swain counties. A Cold Weather Advisory is in effect elsewhere across the forecast area.
Behind the ice storm this weekend, very cold temperatures are forecast. Windy and cold conditions arrive tonight and linger through Tuesday morning, leading to dangerously cold wind chills.
