The big storm coming in tonight through weekend will mostly be rain for Charlotte, even though I expect some mixing in of snow and sleet later tonight before it changes to rain by sunrise Friday. The worst of the storm will be felt along I-40 and into the mountains where the makings of a major ice storm are coming together. Friday will be the peak of the event but on Saturday as colder air moves in from the northwest and the upper level part of the storm will be swinging through this could lead to a quick burst of snow even across the piedmont. I’m watching this carefully and an advisory might be needed for Saturday for this snow.

Here are the latest projections from yours truly on what will fall.

SNOW

ICE

RAIN

I’ll be fine tuning these forecast starting today at 4,5,5:30 and 6:00pm on
