| Headline: | Special Weather Statement issued January 16 at 11:01PM EST by NWS Greenville-Spartanburg SC |
| Description: |
A weakening band of precipitation will move into the mountains of the Carolinas and northeast Georgia after midnight. The precipitation will likely start out as a mix of snow, sleet, and freezing rain, but mostly change over to all snow above 3500 feet, possibly ending as freezing rain around daybreak. Mostly rain is expected in the the lower elevations, although areas of freezing rain are likely in valley locations closer to the continental divide. With temperatures hovering in the upper 20s to lower 30s, minor snow accumulations of 1 to 4 inches are expected above around 3500 feet. Spotty light ice accretions of less than a tenth of an inch are expected in the valleys and near the Blue Ridge Escarpment, mainly on elevated surfaces. While widespread travel difficulties are not anticipated due to warm road temperatures, some slick spots could develop on bridges and overpasses. Roads leading into the higher elevations of the Smokies and the Balsams could become snow covered for a few hours before sunrise. Clearing skies should allow temperatures to warm above freezing and thaw out most roads by midday Saturday. |
